The three little ones who were thrown away by the explosion finally managed to get up from the ground, only to be knocked unconscious one by one by Lu Ming's hunters.

"Send four groups of men back to camp! The rest of you, come upstairs with me!"

"Yes!" At Lu Ming's command, eight of the twenty hunters immediately took the four brainwashed children back to the (hunter) camp. The others followed Lu Ming and the female vampire hunter upstairs.

After resolving four minor troubles and hunting down the vampire queen room by room, Lu Ming and his companions finally found the meeting room where she was located.

The enormous conference room was now practically overflowing with people. And at the far end of the room, Lu Ming spotted Aldridge drawing a teleportation magic circle!

"Eldridge!!" Upon seeing Eldridge, Lu Ming roared and stormed into the conference room!

But at that moment, a female hunter suddenly broke through the window and forced Lu Ming back with a sword.

Looking at the female hunter before him, Lu Ming became extremely furious. He roared and demanded, "Are you abandoning your father for the sake of the vampires?!"

"I'm so sorry, Father, my son is still in his hands, so I'm sorry. I really can't let you hurt them..." (To be continued.)

Chapter Twenty-Seven - Blood

The clash of swords produced a great deal of sparks.

Kanina's swordsmanship originated from Sham, making it extremely refined, far superior to Lu Ming's rudimentary style. If Lu Ming hadn't been stronger and slightly faster than Kanina, the match might have ended much earlier.

Looking up at the battle between Lu Ming and his daughter, and the other hunters fighting against the elites under the command of the vampire queen, Eldridge smiled slightly and said to the vampire queen beside him, "Let them hold on a little longer, I'll be done here soon."

Upon hearing this, the vampire queen subconsciously glanced at the few remaining elite vampires.

Aside from Lu Ming, the hunter leader, only his vampire partner was somewhat skilled among the hunters, able to hunt down the remaining vampire survivors one by one in close combat. This forced a large number of elite troops to engage her, preventing her from continuing to hunt down the few remaining vampires.

There are now fewer than fifty vampires left in this room. Compared to yesterday, that number is negligible.

The vampire queen couldn't help but wonder if extinction was the vampire race's destiny. First, there was the executioner's attack, and now the (hunter's) massacre. Was she mistaken? Was her race's strength simply not enough to ignore Miracaiser? At least not until the Blood Child was born.

'The alliance with Eldridge has brought my race to the brink of extinction. Does the Blood Child require the complete annihilation of my race before it can be born?'

Just as the vampire queen was feeling sorrowful looking at her remaining subjects, Lu Ming and Kanina gradually began to use the magic of the Faran lineage to attack each other.

At first, Lu Ming was very resistant to the idea that Kanina was his daughter, but as he gradually got used to her, he grew to love her dearly. So much so that when Amelia appeared, he readily accepted the fact that Amelia was his daughter.

Lu Ming did his best to be a father to Kanina, even before his first child was born; he had already become a true father. His care for Kanina and Amelia was no less than that of any father in Mirakessa.

However, Kanina's defection today deeply saddened Lu Ming. Although Kanina was currently fighting him because of a son who had appeared out of nowhere, what was with these deadly sword strikes? Did she really want to kill him?

"Fran Dagger!" A heavy slash forced Lu Ming to use his two swords crossed to block Kanina's attack. Just then, Kanina suddenly let out a delicate shout.

With Kanina's delicate shout, a soul arrow shot out from the two blue flame swords that Lu Ming had given to Kanina!

Seeing this, Lu Ming hurriedly used high-speed movement to avoid the two Fran short arrows. However, he was still not spared. Although he was not seriously injured, a deep wound was cut on his face by the soul arrow.

Touching the wound on his face and looking at the blood on his fingers, Lu Ming got angry.

If he was only being forced to stall for time, that would be one thing, but if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit in the head by two short arrows from the French darts! In that case, he would have been really dead!

"Are you serious?!" Lu Ming asked angrily, looking coldly at Kanina.

Kanina didn't answer, only saying, "I'm sorry."

At this moment, Lu Ming fell silent. He looked at his daughter, who had been forcibly raised by the secret techniques of the vampire clan, the daughter who had suddenly hugged him and said, "I never want to drink water again." Lu Ming slowly raised the Blue Flame Sword in his hand.

"I will no longer show mercy." Lu Ming's eyes turned cold as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly.

Lu Ming could no longer suppress the impulses ignited by the wolf blood within him. Anger and heartache drove him to decide to unleash his full power to defeat Kanina, and then go after Eldridge!

Suddenly, Lu Ming rushed towards Kanina.

Upon seeing this, Kanina immediately brandished her two blue flame swords and used Sham's exquisite swordsmanship to counterattack.

However, Lu Ming, who was about to attack from the front, suddenly disappeared in front of Kanina. Instantly, Kanina knew something was wrong. She hurriedly turned around and blocked Lu Ming's attack from behind.

'Trying to wear me down with high-speed movement? Dad, you underestimate me!'

Turning around, she thrust her sword forward, and then Kanina closed in. In just a few steps, she unleashed her exquisite swordsmanship, completely suppressing Lu Ming.

'Was this girl hiding her strength just now? What a pity...'

"Metallic sound!" Lu Ming opened his mouth and emitted a series of maddening, metallic noises, catching Kanina off guard and causing her to pause for a moment.

This metallic sound not only allowed him to seize upon a weakness in Kanina, but also caused Eldridge's hand to tremble, almost forcing him to redraw the magic circle.

The metallic sound startled Kanina's attack, giving Lu Ming the opportunity to knock one of Kanina's two blue flame swords away with a single strike. Kanina immediately cried out in alarm, "Oh no!"

He hurriedly used his only remaining Blue Flame Sword to deflect Lu Ming's attack and ran towards the Blue Flame Sword that had been knocked away.

However, Lu Ming had no intention of giving him that chance. With a high-speed movement, he arrived in front of Kanina in an instant, blocking her path to pick up the Blue Flame Sword, and unleashed a powerful dual-sword slash.

Left with no other option but to use her Blue Flame Sword to block the heavy blow, Kanina had no choice but to do so.

However, Kanina was just a little girl, and her strength couldn't compare to Lu Ming's. So soon, Kanina was forced to kneel on one knee, completely powerless to resist.

"You've already lost!" Lu Ming roared as he forced his daughter, Kanina, to kneel on one knee with his two swords.

Unfortunately, Kanina did not give up easily. She slowly opened her mouth and inhaled the last rays of the setting sun, turning them into a cannonball!

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming was shocked! He was famous for this skill; how could he not know what it was? Immediately, he abandoned his attempt to suppress Kanina, and with a swift movement, narrowly avoided the silver-white projectile that Kanina spat out.

"Ah~!!!" In the sudden burst of bright light, Lu Ming heard a girl's scream. Without thinking, Lu Ming braved the shockwave and ran over, covering his new partner with his trench coat to make her feel a little better.

When the bright light faded, Kanina had retrieved the Blue Flame Sword and regained her composure, now watching Lu Ming with great vigilance.

Seeing the miserable state of his new partner, a surge of anger burned fiercely in Lu Ming's heart.

Kanina sensed the rising aura emanating from Lu Ming and took a deep breath, asking, "Are you ready to go all out, Dad?"

Lu Ming didn't answer verbally, but instead responded to Kanina with his actions.

Raising his Blue Flame Sword, a barrage of short, French arrows shot out towards Kanina.

"Fran Arrow Rain? Or Fran Short Arrows?" Kanina frowned slightly as she looked at the dense barrage of soul arrows. She used her Fran Short Arrows to collide with the soul arrows while simultaneously shattering them with her Blue Flame Sword, and swiftly charged towards Lu Ming.

"Freezing Ray!" Lu Ming unleashed a blue ray of light, forcing Kanina back in one strike.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming rushed to Kanina's side with a high-speed movement.

'Oh no! I'm doomed!' The instant her eyes met Lu Ming's at close range, Kanina knew she had lost completely! And...

Looking down at the sword piercing her chest, Kanina tossed aside the two Blue Flame Swords. With a thud as the blades fell to the ground, she reached out and gently stroked her father's face, smiling as she said, "Father, I wish you success..."

After saying that, he collapsed heavily and lost consciousness.

Looking at Kanina lying on the ground, and at his daughter whose fate was unknown, Lu Ming gritted his teeth, picked up his sword, and walked step by step toward the vampire queen and Eldridge.

Although he deliberately deviated his sword from the heart, if anything had gone wrong, Kanina would have really died.

So at this moment, his heart was in turmoil! He desperately wanted to kill Eldridge and the entire vampire clan as soon as possible, then take Kanina to the church in the city and have the priests heal her. But now it was clearly impossible. Because the big guy who had rescued Lisa with Eldridge had suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ming, erecting a magical wall to protect Eldridge.

"Lu Ming, you are strong. But you are far from reaching the level of a Lord of Cinder. I hope that next time you can become a true Lord of Cinder, because then I will devour you!" After finishing drawing the magic circle, Eldridge slowly stood up, activating the magic circle as he said with a sinister smile.

Knowing it was too late, Lu Ming gave the big man a cold glance. Then he picked up Kanina from the ground and said fiercely to Eldridge, "Eldridge, you've made us father and daughter enemies this time. Next time, I'll throw you into the deep sea!"

"Let's see if you have the ability!" Eldridge sneered.

"You'll find out next time we meet!" Holding Kanina, Lu Ming left. But before leaving, he added, "I hope you don't get hunted down by those Ashes of No Flame! I'm going to kill you myself!"

After saying that, Lu Ming transformed into Kanina and left.

The remaining hunters glanced at the magic wall and sighed. With that wall in place, they had no way of harming the vampires. So, left with no other choice, they had to leave.

After the hunters left, the remaining vampires breathed a sigh of relief. However, the vampire queen and another far-sighted vampire knew that today their vampire clan and the hunters were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Although it's hard to admit, the hunters under Lu Ming's command are far, far stronger than the vampires. Especially now that the vampires have less than forty members left.

"The magic circle has been activated, let's go."

"Understood." (To be continued.)

Chapter Twenty-Eight - Leaving the City and Returning Home

Dream.

Lu Ming sat in the corner of the room, watching the woman in black robes tirelessly studying all sorts of magic, and remained somewhat silent.

Perhaps sensing something was wrong with Lu Ming, the woman in black robes turned around, glanced at him with her only remaining eye, and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't my daughter alright?"

"Today, nobles and royalty from other duchies jointly wrote to me, accusing me of betraying Miracaissa because of me, and of using Kanina's matter as a pretext."

“You’ve been working for them for months, and this is how they treat you? Isn’t that outrageous?”

“I don’t care what they say, but I don’t want Kanina to get involved. I’ve already had her in bed for a month, and I can’t let those people hurt her anymore.”

"What do you plan to do?" The woman in black robes stopped her study of magic, turned around, and looked at Lu Ming.

“I want to hand over (the hunter) to Archbishop Tut and Carmel, and then take Sham, Philna, Kanina and Amelia back to Odysseus’ territory.”

What about those little ones?

"Let's take them back together. We're going to start a magic academy for Miral anyway. It wouldn't be bad to let them attend classes together."

"A magic academy? What a pity..."

Looking up at the woman in black robes, Lu Ming stood up and walked over step by step. Gazing at her beautiful face, he slowly approached, wanting to kiss her.

However, the woman in black covered Lu Ming's mouth with her hand and said somewhat disappointedly, "I haven't finished researching my magic yet, so I can't express it."

"Don't you ever have a day off? No matter what, I want to be with you..."

"No need. Go find Sham and Philna after you wake up. Besides, didn't you just get a new vampire beauty?" the woman in black said mercilessly.

"You're still the same, valuing your own wishes more than mine."

"It's in my nature, I can't change it."

“…” Lu Ming glanced at the woman in black robes in silence, sighed helplessly, and then walked towards the door.

"It's rare for Amelia to be away... so what's wrong with letting me have a little fun...?"

-----------------------------------

One morning a month after the hunters began their hunt for vampires, Grand Duke Rael received a letter from Lu Ming requesting to return to his territory.

After glancing at him briefly, Duke Raeles sent someone to inform Lu Ming that he had agreed to let him return to his territory.

"That incident was clearly a problem with the vampires, but the nobles said it was Viscount Lu Ming's fault. No wonder he wants to go back to his territory," Count Losrick sighed as he stood to the side reviewing civil documents.

Earl Hemphis Eamon, who had only been in office for a month, nodded and said, "Yes! What a pity. It's really too much to let such a talented person be discarded by the foolishness of the nobles."

"Because he understands those forces too well, he will definitely be wary of them. The nobles are worried that his actions might provoke their hostility, leading to a joint condemnation of Viscount Lu Ming. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been no punishment at all." Lagman Vlad, the vampire lord who replaced a member of the vampire clan as the sixth earl, shared his understanding.

“You’re right. But this is a huge loss for Erebus. Also, your daughter left the (Hunter) organization and went with Lu Ming. Do you have any thoughts about that?” Lothric glanced at Count Lagman Vlad and asked.
