The shopkeeper wanted to trick Su Yu into buying some more fruit, but when he met Su Yu's murderous gaze, he chickened out and said, "I saw this black man this morning. It seems they went to the castle in the western forest."

"The castle? Where exactly is it?" Su Yu's eyes lit up. The boss was pointing to Kingsley. Black people were relatively rare in England, which was why the boss remembered him so clearly.

The boss pointed to a small path and said, "Follow this path up the mountain for about five kilometers, and you'll see it. But, as a stranger, I'd better not go there, as it's said to be haunted."

"There's a ghost, there's a ghost, that's for sure!" Without saying another word, Su Yu immediately ran out in the direction the boss pointed.

Chapter 32 The Vampire Count

Along the way, Su Yu ran while using Phantom Teleportation to instantly teleport to the edge of his field of vision. The journey of about 5 kilometers took only 2 minutes, and Su Yu saw the castle that the boss had mentioned.

The castle wasn't very tall; it was built of black, dilapidated stones and was covered by lush trees, which explained why Su Yu hadn't seen it from the sky earlier.

Upon approaching, Su Yu became less aggressive. He cast an illusion spell on himself, slowed his pace, and, holding a wand in his right hand and a magic pistol in his left, slowly moved closer to the castle.

As he got closer, Su Yu could clearly smell a faint scent of blood. His heart sank even further; could something really have happened?

Su Yu took out a brooch from the Seamless Extension Bag, put it on his chest and activated it, a thin film appeared around his body.

This is a protective layer, and also a concealment layer, which can seal in his scent. Judging from the bloody smell, the person living in this castle is most likely not human.

The sense of smell of magical creatures is often very developed, and Su Yu was worried that a single illusion spell would not be enough to fool the master of this place.

Finally, Su Yu entered the castle. The place was not large, and he arrived at the castle hall without much searching. At this moment, there was one man and four women in the hall!

The man was dressed in classic British aristocratic attire, with long hair that was meticulously combed. His looks were comparable to Su Yu's, except that he had a scar on his eye, heavy eye bags, and a sickly pale complexion.

The three women standing there were all very beautiful, and despite it being late October, they were dressed very lightly, in sheer, strapless dresses that accentuated their white breasts.

Her smooth belly and silky long legs were faintly visible beneath the gauze skirt, making Su Yu take a few more glances.

The man was excited. In front of him was a stone platform, on which lay a woman. Three other women stood side by side on one side of the platform, some with curious expressions and others with jealous looks.

The man ignored the three women's thoughts, making strange gestures in the air with his pale hands, as if performing some kind of ritual. Su Yu could feel an evil magical power surrounding him.

"Hahaha, I never expected that I, Dracula, would capture such a noble and beautiful Miss Magus in disguise. After the Embrace ceremony is completed, I will bestow upon you the title of my Countess."

The Embrace! The Earl! Su Yu immediately caught these two keywords, so this guy is a vampire. Not only that, the three women around him must also be vampires.

As for the disguised Magus that Dracula mentioned, it must be Tonks lying on the platform. Judging from the situation, the Embrace ceremony has not officially started yet, and he is not late.

After quickly analyzing the situation, Su Yu felt that with his improved strength and a host of alchemical tools, he would most likely be able to draw with the vampire count in a one-on-one fight.

But with those three female vampires added to the mix, he might not be able to handle them. Su Yu patted the little head of the coal ball in his arms and said through telepathy:

"I'll use a fire spell and an explosion spell to take down one woman first, then you take them one by one, and we'll finish them off as quickly as possible."

"Once this is resolved, you run away and hide. I have my own way of leaving, understand?"

Coal Ball nodded, but there was still some worry in his eyes: "Are you sure you can escape?"

"rest assured!"

Su Yu didn't say anything more to Coal Ball. He quietly approached the three female vampires, adjusted the magazine of his magic pistol to Thunderous Explosion, took a deep breath, waved his wand, and shouted, "Blazing Flames!"

As Su Yu chanted the incantation, a beam of red light shot out from the magic wand in his right hand, transforming into a giant fireball in the air, which blasted towards the backs of the three female vampires.

At the same time, he pulled the trigger of the magic pistol, and an orange-yellow spell shot out—the Thunder Explosion Spell.

As a magic pistol specially made by Su Yu for himself, it is equipped with a magic power amplifier, but when the magic power is LV5, it can enhance the power of the spell to LV6.

At this moment, Su Yu's magic power, which had reached LV8, was only enough to barely prevent the spell from losing its level, and with just one shot, all the magic power stored in the amplifier was drained.

With a deafening bang, raging flames and shattered bones struck the female vampire in the center simultaneously, blasting her into pieces and setting her ablaze.

The female vampire on the left was also in bad shape; one of her arms had been blown off, her body was engulfed in flames, and she was writhing on the ground in agony.

Su Yu ripped the collar off Coal Ball's neck, and Coal Ball immediately reverted to its original form, lunging at the one-armed female vampire and tearing her head off in one swift motion.

But the female vampire did not die. She rolled on the ground, extinguished the flames, and then grew a pair of bat-like wings on her back. She pounced on the coal ball, trying to snatch back her head.

The coal ball was so scared that it turned around and ran away. Speed ​​was its strong point. If it couldn't beat you, it could outrun you.

The vampire on the right was relatively lucky. She was already quite far from the one in the middle, and was directly blasted away by the shockwave after the explosion. Although she crashed hard into the wall, she was not seriously injured.

"Who are you, daring to trespass into my castle! Sophia, kill him!" Dracula was furious, but he didn't move; the ritual was still in progress.

Before long, he will be able to complete the Embrace, drain the blood of the disguised Magus before him, and then infuse his own blood into her body, making her his vassal.

Sophia was naturally the vampire who wasn't seriously injured. She opened her mouth wide at Su Yu, revealing her sharp canines, and let out a shriek.

Then the person began to change. A pair of leathery wings grew from his back, and his clothes disappeared, turning into thick, grayish-white skin. His fingers grew longer, and his nails became like daggers.

Sophia flapped her wings and suddenly pounced on Su Yu. Su Yu raised the gun in his left hand and pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing three Thunder Explosion Spells.

Although he no longer has the power amplifier, Su Yu's magic power has now reached LV8, and the spells he fires with his pistol can still maintain the level of LV7. This should be enough to deal with a vampire maid.

Sophia dared not take Su Yu's spell head-on, so she could only dodge left and right in the air, dodging the incoming spells while moving closer to Su Yu.

Su Yu was also in a difficult situation. Sophia was very fast, and he had to concentrate on shooting, which slowed him down considerably. Meanwhile, Dracula, who was not far away, had already bared his fangs and was biting at Tonks' neck.

"Patriot!" At the critical moment, Su Yu waved his wand and used the Patronus Charm. This spell is not only effective against Dementors, but also against dark creatures like vampires.

Countless beams of white light shot out from the tip of Su Yu's wand, condensing in the air into a giant silver-white raven.

After the magic power was upgraded to LV8, Su Yu felt that the raven seemed to have become more intelligent. The raven flapped its wings and shot towards Dracula's head like an arrow released from a bow.

With a bang, Dracula was knocked backward by the raven. Large patches of skin on his cheek that had come into contact with the raven turned black and peeled off in layers, revealing the bone and teeth underneath, which looked very painful.

Su Yu wasn't faring much better. Because he was distracted while casting a spell, he didn't dodge completely when Sophia swooped down, and his shoulder was scratched by Sophia's claws, leaving three wounds.

Black blood flowed from the wound; it was poisonous, but Su Yu didn't have time to check. He reached into his Invisible Stretch Bag, pulled out a bottle of antidote, and poured it into his mouth as he ran.

At this moment, Su Yu was truly grateful to Snape for not helping him sell all the potions. He would definitely ask Snape to brew him another antidote when he got back.

Su Yu rushed to the stone platform and saw Tonks lying on it. Today, Tonks had silver hair and was wearing clothes similar to those of the three vampire maids. Su Yu couldn't help but glance at the milky white cleavage a few more times.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong with Tonks. She was clearly unable to move, and only her eyes showed surprise and excitement, with tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Stop the curse!" Su Yu waved his magic wand, and a white spell entered Tonks' body.

It had no effect. Was I under a curse? Or was the level of the "Stop Curse" spell too low? But I don't know a super-level curse like "End All Curses" yet.

Just as Su Yu was confused, a flash of shock and anger appeared in Tonks' eyes, and a huge sense of crisis came from behind Su Yu. Only then did he suddenly realize that he was still on the battlefield.

Su Yu turned around and saw the female vampire stiffen her body, her claws aimed at his head like spears, clearly intending to kill him with one blow.

Su Yu was instantly terrified, his hair stood on end, and he instinctively reached for the Invisible Stretch Bag, where there was a door key, Su Yu's last trump card.

He can come to save people, and he is willing to come to save people, but his bottom line is that he cannot risk his own life.

No sooner said than done, the silver raven in the sky sensed the danger to its master. With a flap of its wings, it turned and, like a crescent blade, sliced ​​across the sky, cutting into Sophia's abdomen.

As if a hot knife had sliced ​​into butter, Sophia's body was sliced ​​in two by the silver raven.

There was no blood splattering; Sofia's severed abdomen began to turn into black ash, which quickly spread throughout her body.

"No, no! Master, save me!" Sophia screamed in terror, her face sometimes turning into a terrifying vampire, and sometimes into a beautiful young maid.

But all of this was in vain. Just two seconds later, Sofia had vanished forever from the ancient castle.

Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled his hand out of the Seamless Extension Bag. Even he himself hadn't expected that his guardian spirit would have such an autonomous attack capability.

"Damn it! I've been imprisoned for five hundred years and banished from my homeland. Now, you dare to trespass into my world and disrupt my rituals! Human, you're courting death!"

Count Dracula, who had been thrown into the air, had fully recovered from his facial injuries. He glared angrily at Su Yu, his eyes practically spitting fire.

After a roar, a pair of huge bat wings sprouted from Dracula's back, and his height increased from 1.9 meters to a full 3 meters. Considering the lines he had just spoken, Su Yu felt that he should also draw two more Azzinoth Blades from his back.

Shaking off his chaotic thoughts, Su Yu waved his wand, and the silver raven turned around again, rushing towards Count Dracula.

This time, however, Dracula stretched out his enormous claws and grabbed the silver raven. Although the skin on his palms turned charred and ash flew out continuously, Dracula still did not let go.

The silver raven struggled and cried out in Dracula's grasp, but could not break free. Finally, Dracula exerted his strength, and the silver raven let out a mournful cry, turning into specks of white starlight and dissipating into the air.

When Dracula seized the silver raven, Su Yu was shocked. There was actually a dark creature that could seize the guardian spell of the holy light.

Su Yu immediately realized that his assessment was wildly wrong. This vampire count was definitely not someone he could defeat. He carried Tonks on his back and cast a binding spell, controlling the rope to tie the two of them together.

Su Yu originally intended to escape using Apparition or the Portkey, but Tonks was clearly not in a good state. Apparition is an extremely dangerous spell, and if something went wrong halfway through, he would be beheaded.

Although the door key was relatively safe, they hadn't run out of supplies yet, and Su Yu didn't want to take any risks.

So he took out another thing from the seamless stretch bag. This thing looked like a giant firecracker, and its function was similar to that of a firecracker. Su Yu grabbed the handle on the firecracker and turned it on.

With a whistle, the rocket carrying Su Yu and Tonks burst through a window of the castle and flew towards a distant mountain.

Three seconds later, the two landed smoothly. In those short three seconds, they flew about ten kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to ten times the speed of sound. It was an escape tool that Su Yu created in his early days.

Since learning how to use Phantom Teleportation and make Door Keys, Su Yu had completely forgotten about this thing. He never expected that he would actually be able to use it someday.

Count Dracula in the castle had just crushed that annoying raven when he saw his two prey vanish in a flash. He let out a long howl to the sky.

With a powerful push from his legs, Dracula soared into the sky, crashing through the dome of the castle's main hall and flying hundreds of meters into the air.

It wasn't dark outside yet; the sun was setting in the west. Dracula disliked the sun, as it weakened his power, but he couldn't care less about that at the moment.

With his exceptional eyesight, Dracula spotted Su Yu and Tonks fleeing ten kilometers away at a glance. With a flap of his wings, he flew rapidly toward the two.

Although Dracula's flight speed cannot keep up with the speed of sound, it would only take him a little over a minute to catch up with Su Yu and his companion who were escaping on foot.

Hearing the shriek behind him, Su Yu adjusted the magnification function of his glasses and immediately spotted Dracula. Being in an unfamiliar place, he had no idea where to escape to.

At this moment, Su Yu took out another bottle of potion from the Seamless Extension Bag. It was the same bottle of Felix Felicis that he had seized from the black wizard who stole the dragon last time.

After taking the Felix Felicis, Su Yu had a very mysterious feeling. So he abandoned the idea of ​​flying away on his motorcycle and, following the guidance of his heart, carried Tonks on his back and ran in one direction.

Dracula was hot on their heels. When Su Yu reached the top of the mountain, Dracula was less than a kilometer away from them. In front of them was a waterfall that was ten meters wide and had a vertical drop of about 30 meters.

Su Yu reached for the Seamless Extension Bag again and pulled out an RPG rocket launcher. If a revolver could be magically modified, why couldn't an RPG?

Su Yu hoisted the launcher onto his shoulder, locked onto Dracula in the air, and pulled the trigger. With a whoosh, the projectile, trailing a long plume of flame, shot towards Dracula.

Dracula scoffed. He didn't know what the thing in front of him was, but he just wanted to make sure it couldn't hit him.

Dracula suddenly changed the angle of his wing flaps, and with great agility, he performed a maneuver in the air to dodge, the rocket warhead whizzing past him.

Seeing this, Su Yu was not disappointed. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips. Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. With a bang, the rocket warhead exploded right in front of Dracula.

To be honest, the power of the explosion was nothing special; Dracula was only blasted back a few meters before regaining his footing. However, this rocket was not an ordinary Muggle rocket; it was developed jointly by Su Yu and an American potion master.

After the explosion, a large amount of pink gas was ejected from the rocket, enveloping a 30-meter radius around Dracula. It was a very powerful atomizing magic potion, a hallucinogen.

The next moment, Dracula's eyes became visibly dazed, and his expression became one of pure enjoyment, clearly indicating that he had fallen into some kind of extremely blissful illusion.

Su Yu remembered that he had failed once when he was making this thing. He accidentally inhaled a mouthful of pink potion, and the taste was even more pleasurable than... well, you know.
