Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 326 The Strange Vampire Frenzy

Salem.

Recently.

The town was becoming strange, and the boy, Mark, could clearly sense it.

It seems... some people don't like going out as much anymore?

I feel like there are far fewer people on the streets.

Moreover, his friend Danny has stopped going to the town school. When he went to see him yesterday, Danny was very cold and distant. He didn't know what had happened.

Could it be that something happened at home?

Mark had a wild idea.

He shook his head and took out many books on mysticism that he had collected to read.

He usually enjoys this kind of knowledge, such as myths and legends about vampires, werewolves, and witches. He spent a lot of money to buy books about these things from general stores. Although most of them were travelogues and fairy tales, he still read them with great interest.

"Wow, demons are afraid of salt? Because salt is pure, and demons, representing filth, instinctively fear pure things. Oh, I see. This is also related to religious symbols and such. How interesting."

"So that's how a restraining relationship is created."

"If that represents something filthy, wouldn't that summon a demon?"

"..."

Mark scratched his head and turned to another page, which depicted a black, ugly monster with sharp teeth and claws, scarlet eyes, and a pair of huge bat wings.

The text below reads in English: Vampire.

Mark's eyes lit up. Of all these monsters, he was most interested in vampires because they were the most widely circulated in legends. His parents often used them to scare their children when he was young, and they were arguably the most common legendary monster in Christian countries.

There have even been movies about vampires, portraying them as noble and elegant, aristocrats of the dark.

Mark thought this must be fake. If they were truly nobles, why would they be living in the shadows? Why would they be unable to see the light of day?

He still felt that the original versions recorded in books like the Bible were more credible, and that vampires were sinners cursed by God!

It is filthy and evil!
"Oh, vampires who are not invited cannot enter the room, because the house is the most primal pact between man and darkness;
The fear of a wooden awl piercing the heart stems from the fact that wood absorbs sunlight to grow and contains divine power, while the heart is the source of life; therefore, a wooden awl piercing the heart will lead to death.
"You cannot cross the river, because flowing water represents purification, much like a mass, and contains some symbolic meaning related to God."

"It's symbolism again. Why are these religious monsters always restrained by all sorts of illogical symbols? Strange..."

The little boy Mark couldn't understand this. In fact, many scholars couldn't explain it either, and could only come up with many specious guesses to make a weak explanation.

"Never mind, let's read the werewolf..." Mark lay on the bed, looking at his book with great interest.

Until one or two tapping sounds were heard on the glass.

and many more.

Knocking on the glass?

Mark frowned and looked out the window, only to see a figure staring at him in the moonlight.

dong dong!

The other person knocked on the window again, just like knocking on the door.

Mark's eyes widened in shock; the person was actually his friend Danny!
and many more!

How did he get here? He doesn't seem to have stepped on anything, and this is the second floor! Is he flying?
Danny's usual eccentricities, his current strange behavior, and what he had just read in the book all burned together like a string of fire in this scene.

An answer emerged in his mind.

"Mark, help me, it's so cold outside."

"Help me, we are best friends."

"Help me, open the window..."

As Danny spoke, a kind of magic seeped into the room through his words, attempting to influence Mark.

These are the basic magical abilities of vampires.

A powerful vampire can bewitch a large number of humans with just a glimpse of them.

Mark opened his mouth, but wisely lowered his head immediately. However, the sound continued, and even grew louder.

at this time.

A cross placed on the bedside table began to glow faintly.

"Ahhh!!"

Danny suddenly let out a scream.

Mark blinked, not standing there in a daze, but immediately ran to the window, closed it tightly, and drew the curtains. Then he ran to the door and checked if the downstairs door was closed. Only after confirming that the doors and windows were closed did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't stop there; instead, he made wooden awls on the spot and held the cross in his hand.

Sat on the bed.

I have done everything that is within my age range to cope with the situation.

"Vampires... vampires really exist..."

……

Meanwhile, in the town, one vampire after another began to emerge from the houses.

As a result of their covert spread over the past two days, their numbers have greatly increased, and they are now able to actively attack other humans in the dark to create their own kind.

Ever since.

Just tonight.

Their neighbors, relatives, and friends all suffered.

These beasts, after becoming vampires, did nothing but harm their own family and friends, which is somewhat similar to the zombies of the Eastern Kingdom.

Normally speaking.

In this situation, the town is finished.

But this is not normal.

Because some people have crosses in their homes, which is very common and normal in religious countries like the United States. Normally, a cross wouldn't serve any purpose for an ordinary person, but it's different here.

Their crosses actually worked!

The vampire was forced back by the cross!

even……

Inside Mills' house, because the door wasn't closed in time, another vampire broke in. Now, he simply used two wooden sticks to form a cross, and he was actually forcing the vampire to retreat step by step!

If this scene were to happen outside and be witnessed by clergy, they would surely proclaim Mills as a pure soul with devout faith!

But is Mills one?

Obviously not.

The moment he forced the vampire out of the room, Mills immediately closed the door, leaving the vampire to frantically attack the wooden door.

The two began a life-or-death struggle.

……

The battle lasted until dawn, finally ending with the first rays of sunlight.

By this time, a large number of people in the town had been turned into vampires, and to make matters worse, the roads in and out of the town were blocked.

Mills looked out as the sun came out, a look of relief on his face, and immediately ran to see his new girlfriend.

He had already lost his wife in that bloody disaster, and now he couldn't let his new girlfriend get hurt too!

Surprisingly, his new girlfriend's family was not attacked; apparently, the vampires only attacked part of the family last night. "No, this can't be."

Seeing his girlfriend's parents completely disbelieving him, Mills was somewhat troubled, but then his eyes hardened, and he walked toward the town's church.

Now that the vampires have appeared, and last night it was proven that the cross works, it's time to go find the priest. As God's shepherds on earth, perhaps they can deal with the vampires.

Meanwhile, in another part of town, a young boy named Mark also began his operation.

Just as Mills and his men began to take action.

Beside the illusory entity representing America, a small green bubble is moving rapidly.

This is the spiritual realm of the "mountain" that is gradually approaching the United States. Now it is nearing the US-Mexico border and is returning to the United States.

at this time.

The usually well-behaved Po-Xiong Demon Sphere suddenly began to vibrate, and the entire "Mountain" Spirit Realm seemed to encounter some kind of obstacle and came to a stop.

Louis, who was sorting through what he had learned in the spiritual realm, frowned, looked up at the sky, and a flash of white-gold light appeared in his eyes as he looked through the spiritual realm at the corresponding real world.

A...small town?
What's so special about this that it actually made the "Mountain" Spirit Realm stop?

A wisp of Yang God power flowed out and began to envelop the entire town.

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into Louis's mind.

The tense atmosphere of multiple missing persons in the town, the "people" who can move even though they are not breathing, the occasional use of the word "vampire" by a few people, the bloodstains in the houses, the intense dark atmosphere in an antique shop...

hum!
It was as if they had sensed Louis's will.

In the darkness of the antique shop, an ugly vampire with enormous wings suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with restlessness and tension.

It felt a powerful will sweep over it, no, it lingered on it for a moment!
This is a very dangerous sign!

This kind of will, this kind of sweeping gaze, brings a strong sense of threat.

Just like those superior beings.

As a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, participated in the Dark War a century ago, assisted Count Dracula but was still not destroyed, it can be considered knowledgeable and experienced.

Even though it's just a cursed vampire, not as good as the orthodox Cain lineage, it's still quite capable after living this long.

It knew very well that such a wide-ranging scan, which could also contain the will of the examiner, was the exclusive domain of those in power and the truly strong.

It can't do that, and even if it had the ability to do it, it wouldn't dare to do it, as it would easily provoke attacks from others.

and so……

This powerful figure suddenly scanned the area, lingering on him for a moment...

Okay, looks like it's time to run away.

Without hesitation, it headed towards the dark corner, using its limited ability to mimic, reducing its aura to a minimum, as if it had no warmth at all.

Now, we'll wait until it gets dark. As soon as it gets dark, it will fly away immediately. For now, we'll have to wait a little longer and hide it.

The sun in the sky was too deadly.

Even at dusk, when it's almost setting, it's the same.

It will take some more time... Hopefully, the feeling of danger I felt just now was just an illusion...

In the spiritual realm.

Louis was somewhat puzzled.

"That's it? Just because of a vampire who isn't even at the demon level, the Spirit Realm can be brought to a standstill?"

"Impossible, there must be other reasons."

"Louis, what's wrong?" Emma asked curiously.

Louis gave a brief explanation, and Emma excitedly raised her eyebrows, "Then let's go in and take a look. We can see what vampires look like, whether they have bat wings and are ugly or something."

"That's pretty much what you said. Let's go in and take a look."

Louis pulled Emma back and began to control the spirit realm to move closer to the real world, like a small bubble starting to attach to a small side of a large bubble, and the two gradually merged.

Subsequently.

Open the Spirit Realm.

A green crack opened up at the town gate of Salem.

Louis and Emma appeared in a flash.

He glanced at the setting sun and thought, "It's almost night. This little thing runs pretty fast at night."

Out of caution.

Louis waved his hand, and the silver threads controlling the puppet disappeared into the void, sealing off the entire town. This way, even if something unexpected happened, the vampire wouldn't be able to escape.

Then, Louis's Yang spirit scanned again, and Emma similarly used her relatively weak Yin spirit power to sweep outwards.

"found it."

In just a few seconds, Louis spoke up, grabbed Emma, ​​and a green crack appeared in the ground, and he disappeared completely.

next second.

Louis and Emma appeared in a treehouse outside the antique shop.

He looked at the vampire hanging from the ceiling, pretending to be dead, with a smile on his face.

"Hmm? Ugly thing, you're not behaving well."

"You actually dare to play dead?"

Emma said with a mischievous grin.

Subsequently.

A fiery serpent suddenly condensed in the air and shot out, coiling around the vampire and tightening its grip.

"ha!!!"

A slightly sharp voice suddenly rang out.

The vampire flapped its wings, trying to extinguish the burning fire serpent, but before it could put it out, a powerful spiritual force caught it off guard and coiled around it.

In an instant, its wings broke off, and it fell from the roof, crashing onto the floor.

It was at this moment that the sky outside finally darkened completely.

Louis didn't make a move when he saw the vampire in front of him. Emma did. The vampire fell down, and Emma excitedly went over. She first used a fire snake to burn the vampire again to make sure that it was completely bound before she really got close.

Picking up a stick from the side and poking it, I noticed that this vampire had pointed ears, pale and withered skin, and huge sharp teeth with exposed gums. If it had a bit more hair, it would look exactly like a giant bat monster!

They don't resemble the legendary vampires at all.

Emma poked the vampire's mouth and nostrils with a stick, and then, as if conducting an experiment, she gently poked out the vampire's eyeballs.

Snapped!
A thick, translucent liquid burst from his eyeballs, and the vampire couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

The claws on the limbs began to contract and extend rapidly.

After a few seconds, the eyeball actually began to recover and quickly became fully restored, but at the cost of its already shriveled gray body becoming even more withered.

Clearly, this vampire's recovery relies entirely on the blood within his body.

This vampire was far inferior to the one Louis had encountered during the Bloodbath, especially since he hadn't seen it use any magic or say anything until now.

If it weren't for those lively yet terrifying eyes, Louis would have thought it was a completely mindless monster.
