That bard is such a charmer!

Chapter 110 When Death Knocks on the Door

"Strange, why do I feel a little sleepy?"

"Want to drink some blood to perk yourself up?"

Where did this music come from?

"I don't know, but it sounds pretty good, yawn—"

In an instant, the two guards staggered and fell to the side.

Seeing that the Requiem was initially effective, Richard immediately used the Summoning of the Beasts, then cast a Vajra Shield on himself, drew his longsword, and led eight summoned wolves toward the gate of the barn!

"Who—who are you?!"

The vampires were stunned for several seconds before they realized that someone was attacking them. In their panic, they tried to raise their hands to fight back, but before they could even make a single movement, they were pounced on by the pack of wolves and Richard swiftly and decisively chopped off their heads!

After quickly dealing with the guards, Richard left four wolves outside to watch the gate, while he went inside with the remaining four.

Then, he easily found the six-pointed star-shaped magic circle on the wooden wall at the end of the barn.

Oil paintings emerged at just the right time:

That's right, that's it! Destroy it!

Richard raised his hand and chanted a spell, preparing to unleash a shattering sonic wave.

Wait! Behind you—

However, just as the incantation was halfway through, the painting sent a warning, and Richard himself felt his hair stand on end. Driven by his beastly instincts, he lunged forward!

Bang! Clang!

The next second, three blood-red beams of light pierced through the Vajra Shield!

The first shot grazed his scalp and pierced the ground in front of Richard, leaving a hole big enough to stick a finger in!

Two more streaks of blood-red light were aimed at his shoulders, but fortunately, Hua Wu's flying knives were activated in time, one on the left and one on the right, at the cost of being bounced away herself, to block them!

"Pooh----"

Richard narrowly escaped death, spat, quickly got up, and turned to look behind him.

But the barn gates were wide open, and the spirits of the wolves had all been scattered.

In their place came a tall, slender vampire with slightly pointed, half-elf-like ears and a rather pretty face.

She stood at the doorway, her face grim.

Judging from the silhouette, it seems to be the deputy standing behind Vespera when he openly provoked Isabella and the others.

Take another look with the eye of insight—

Name: Ravenna Mowin

Race: Vampire

[Class: Mage Iv8 / Warrior Iv2]

【————】

He's actually an 8th-level mage, and he also doubles as a warrior!

In terms of strength, he is probably even stronger than Harald of the Church of Slaughter!

Was this guy just passing by on patrol?

Damn it, why did I have to run into this? Where did my lucky charm go? Hey kid, come out here and say something!

Richard's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his palms were sweaty.

"You dodged it?" The vampire named Ravenna narrowed her eyes in surprise, but quickly her face turned cold again, and she said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Although I don't know how you got in or how you dodged my attack, you won't have a next chance—I will not allow anyone to interfere with Master's plans!"

As she spoke, Ravenna cut her finger, letting the blood flow out and float in mid-air, condensing into a long spear!

At this moment, outside the oil painting.

Because the barn was located in the lower left corner of the painting, everyone watching saw Richard walk into it.

Then, they noticed the vampire following closely behind, and through the open door, they saw her attack Richard.

Although the distance was too far and the area too small to see the details clearly, they could still tell who was stronger and who was weaker at a glance.

"Oh no, this vampire is really strong!"

"Mr. Targaryen is probably no match for him!"

"And it seems he's been discovered by the vampires, hasn't he? The magic circle wasn't successfully destroyed either, so he'll be facing more than just this one enemy—"

For a moment, most people felt that something bad was about to happen.

Although they didn't say it all aloud, they all felt in their hearts that Richard's mission had failed and he probably wouldn't be able to leave the world of the painting alive.

Isabella maintained her composure as the commander, but couldn't help urge Jon three times in a few seconds.

Unfortunately, reality is reality, and even though the latter was sweating profusely, he still couldn't break through the barrier of the world in the painting.

Grace pressed her hands against the frame of the painting, staring intently in Richard's direction, her expression calm, showing neither anger nor anxiety.

This behavior terrified Zoya inside her.

"Hey, Grace, what are you thinking? Can you tell me? It's not your fault that we can't get into the painting world, and it's not mine either. Bug—if Richard dies, don't go crazy and drag me down with you! Hey, say something!"

Grace didn't answer, but continued to stare in Richard's direction.

At this moment, inside the oil painting.

"Miss vampire, you look pale and your eyes are dark. You're probably weak and cold. You should rest properly, like in bed or on the train tracks, instead of fighting with people—"

I hadn't finished speaking when you attacked me! Despicable! Shameless! You're like someone with athlete's foot inside a hemorrhoid!

Richard was about to say a few trash words and secretly reinforce his Vajra Shield when Ravenna raised her hand and shot a blood-red spear at him!

He quickly used his Silver Light Sharp Words, which both slightly deflected the spear and made his feet move like the wind, successfully dodging the attack.

He then dared not be careless, unleashing a flurry of actions to replenish the shield at double the speed, before summoning another pack of wolves to pounce on Ravenna.

Then, he tried to throw a shattering sonic wave.

No sooner had he opened his mouth than Ravenna on the other side flashed by, and with even greater speed than him, conjured a blood-red whip, crackling and snapping away the wolves in just a few strokes!

Good heavens, the other side is also making a flurry of moves?

"Did you copy my skills? You wait, I'll sue you for copyright infringement!"

Seeing that Ravenna was about to reach him, Richard had no choice but to abandon his plan to shatter the sound waves. He first used his quicker verbal attacks as a buffer, then drew his longsword and unleashed a flurry of attacks as a form of defense.

However, Ravenna did not give him that chance.

The next second, the female vampire teleported directly behind Richard!

As she dodged the flurry of slashes, the whip in her hand condensed into a sword, which she aimed at Richard's back and pierced with a soft thud!

Richard froze on the spot.

As he watched the blood-red sword tip emerge from his chest, a suppressed groan escaped his throat. All the strength in his body vanished instantly, and within seconds, he collapsed to his knees.

Ravenna slowly drew her sword.

Under the influence of that strange blood magic, Richard felt as if the blood in his body was being drawn out along with the sword.

"It's over, human. By the way, I like the taste of your blood."

Ravenna smiled slightly, then turned and left.

He took only two steps, but then stopped.

"Huh? Still not dead?"

Yes, although his body was pierced with a large hole and a large amount of blood was drained, Richard still managed to retain a sliver of blood thanks to his strong physique.

But that's it.

Seeing Ravenna approaching with a puzzled look, Richard knew he had no other options.

Does this mean that death is inevitable in the end?

Did everything just end so abruptly?

Richard stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Suddenly, a string of words appeared in his mind.
