Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

at the same time.

"Electric Light" Morrison, a member of the Eternal Life Society who had escaped the net, sat upright in a chair, tightly holding a valuable and powerful rune in his hand.

It was given to him by John, the "aftercare man".

Click, click, click.

The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor is getting closer and closer.

“It’s coming!”

Morrison swallowed nervously, clenching the spell rune in his hand tighter and tighter... Then, when the vampire girl's dark red, gleaming eyes emerged from the darkness, he suddenly exerted force and crushed the rune!

boom!

The blazing light engulfed the entire warehouse in an instant!

It was as if a dazzling sun suddenly exploded!

……

Outside the warehouse, Lor, whose movements were restricted, closed his eyes reflexively.

The light leaking from the broken door stung his eyes.

However, what was strange was that such a strong explosion did not bring up any hot wind, and the warehouse was intact... But Lor's skin surface clearly felt like it was being burned.

Obviously, this was no ordinary explosion.

"This is the intermediate-level divine art of the Holy Light Church... 'Blazing Sun Nova'!" Lor judged in his heart.

As an exorcist of the church, although he had never seen this kind of magic with his own eyes, he had some general understanding of it.

"Sun Nova" is a fifth-order offensive magic that can quickly evaporate all water in organic life forms. It is also very effective against all evil creatures such as the undead and wronged souls!

Of course, this also includes vampires!

"Haha, that rune cost me a lot of money."

In astonishment, a hoarse voice sounded from beside Lor:

"However, if I can use it to kill a high-ranking vampire, it's still a good deal. Although it's better to catch it alive, the corpse is also quite valuable... The only regret is that my 'client' will definitely die with it."

The force strangling his throat loosened slightly, and Lor turned his head with difficulty.

The person who spoke was a guy wearing a long black trench coat and a top hat.

His appearance seems a little familiar...

Oh, and I saw this guy's wanted poster in Captain Ronin's office! Extremely dangerous Level 3 Transcendent, "John the Cleaner"!

"You seem to recognize me." John, the aftermath worker, smiled darkly. "Judging from the way you cast the spell on yourself just now, you must be an exorcist from the church, right?"

At this moment, Lor's hands and feet were still firmly grasped by the translucent ghost hands, unable to break free.

He calmed down and asked:

"How did an illegal transcendent get the church's precious runes?"

"I have a special trading channel." John, the aftermath worker, appeared calm and composed, but at the same time, his eyes were filled with confusion. "But why are you, a dog of the church, hanging out with the vampires?"

The reason why he didn't get rid of Lor cleanly and efficiently was because he wanted to know the answer to this question.

After all, this is really unusual.

"To be honest, even I find it outrageous." Lor couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As an exorcist of the church, I've become a "fate-bound" companion to a vampire girl... yes, "fate-bound." Since I'm still alive, it means Isabella is fine.

The "Sun Nova" just now couldn't kill her at all!

Lore was certain of this.

Sure enough, a moment later, the crisp footsteps sounded again.

Isabella, wearing a gorgeous black gauze dress, slowly walked out of the warehouse, holding a withered rose in her hand.

"I see, that bastard has accomplices..."

Seeing Lor, whose movements were restricted, and the man next to him dressed like a down-and-out magician, Isabella quickly understood the situation.

Then, he raised his little face and said:

"The flowers Lor bought me are all dead. How are you going to compensate me?!"

13. Let’s act

actually……

Unscathed? !

Looking at Isabella walking out of the warehouse, the aftermath worker John was stunned.

That is a fifth-level talisman from the Church of Holy Light that I have treasured for a long time!

Even if she was a vampire of the upper mid-level, she wouldn't be able to escape unscathed if she was hit by a "Scorching Sun Nova" at close range! Even if she didn't die, she would completely lose her combat ability!

What's more, this girl has just woken up and should still be in a weak state, right?

Why is this happening?

Only then did John, the man who cleaned up the mess, realize that he had seriously miscalculated.

This vampire girl who was summoned by the "Eternal Life Society" by mistake is much more powerful than he imagined... She is undoubtedly an extraordinary being above the seventh level, with strength close to that of a demigod!

Who could have thought that those idiots from the "Eternal Life Society" could actually resurrect such a great figure?

This fact was so shocking that it froze him in place for a moment.

Damn...

I was originally thinking that if I could capture this vampire, I could sell it for a good price, dead or alive. That way, I could gather enough gold coins to buy "that thing"...

With that thing, I can break through my current level and become a mid-level transcendent!

As a result, now, don’t even talk about promotion.

You should think about how to save your own life!

John, the man who cleaned up the mess, felt a sharp pain in his spine. As he watched the vampire girl approach him, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure, a strong sense of panic gradually surged in his heart.

There is no doubt that I have offended someone who should not be offended!

At this moment, a white light flashed around Lor, and the ghost hands that had originally strangled his wrists, ankles and throat disappeared in an instant.

After all, Lor is a regular extraordinary person who has undergone strict training from the church. In terms of overall quality, he is better than John, the self-taught cleanup man. Therefore, even if there is a two-level gap between him and the other party, he will not be completely powerless to fight back.

He was just waiting for an opportunity.

When the other party's attention is completely attracted by Isabella, it is time for him to break free!

"Oh no!" John, the aftermath worker, felt something was wrong.

But it's too late.

While breaking free from his restraints, Lore turned around and quickly distanced himself from John, the aftermath worker. At the same time, he quickly made a series of complex hand gestures on his chest.

He is casting offensive magic!

On the other side, the vampire girl Isabella also launched an offensive.

She calmly and gracefully raised a finger, summoning a stream of dark red blood in mid-air. Then, the raised finger suddenly fell and pointed at John, the cleanup man!

The blood flow instantly solidified and turned into a texture similar to ice crystals.

Then, it spread rapidly in a zigzag trajectory like lightning!

Almost at the same moment, Lor also completed the spell. A pitch-black metal chain appeared out of thin air in his hand, with a gleaming hook at the end!

The blood and the chains attacked John, the Good Will Man, at the same time.

However, it failed to hit the target.

At the critical moment, the body of John, the cleanup man, suddenly collapsed, and the whole person seemed to melt into liquid, turning into a black plane close to the ground and blending into the shadow of the building!

That's right, he decisively chose to run away.

……

The streets returned to silence late at night.

The figure of John, the aftermath man, has completely disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk, for a small fry, he still has so many little tricks up his sleeve." Isabella stamped her foot in anger. "What should I do, Lor? He's gotten away!"

"Don't panic." Lor retracted the chain and replied calmly.

Because he knew in his heart that although the guy seemed to have escaped at first glance, that was not the case.

He just hid himself.

The church's wanted poster contained a description of "John the Cleaner's" abilities, which Lor had carefully read. His success in breaking through those "ghost hands" earlier was precisely due to this.

"The 'Shadow Transformation Technique' that guy just used is a second-level supernatural ability."

Lor carefully recalled the contents of the wanted poster in his mind:

"As the name suggests, this allows him to temporarily transform into a shadow, making him immune to all physical attacks. The conditions for this spell are that the caster must stand within the shadow, and once transformed into a shadow, they cannot leave the shadow's range."

Thinking of this, Lor looked around again.

The place where John, the cleanup man, had just entered was the shadow cast by a row of connected houses, which covered an area of ​​about forty or fifty meters and was completely visible... Using a simple "lighting technique", he could be forced to show up.

But by then the opponent will definitely fight back or use other means of escape again.

He has to be caught off guard.

Lor glanced at Isabella.

Ideally, I would have Isabella ready beforehand, and then the moment I cast my light, forcing the enemy to reveal themselves, I would immediately launch an attack and deliver a fatal blow.

But the problem is, we have only known each other for two days, and there is no tacit understanding at all.

And I can't tell her the plan directly now, because the enemies lurking in the shadows will also hear it... I have to think of a clever way to say it, so that the enemies won't notice and Isabella can understand my intention.

After pondering for a moment, Lor came up with an idea.

"'Dear,' it seems we can't be together after all." He sighed deeply and said in a sad tone, "Now that that guy has escaped, our relationship will be exposed sooner or later... When that happens, the church will definitely not let me go."

...romance?

Isabella was confused.

What is this guy talking about?

Clearly, when we were in the flower shop, that guy was extremely reluctant and refused to cooperate with me. Why is he taking the initiative to act now for no apparent reason?

and many more……

acting?

Yes, this guy is acting! He's trying to convey some information to me in a subtle way!

Could it be that the small fish just now hasn’t escaped yet?

"It's not time to despair, my dear!" Isabella wiped away the nonexistent tears from her eyes and replied with a touch of exaggeration, "It's not too late now. Elope with me! Even if the church sends people to search for you, I will do my utmost to protect you!"

"You've only known me for two days, why are you so nice to me?" Lor acted touched.

"That's what love at first sight is like!"

……

The vampire and the church's exorcist fell in love at first sight and secretly got married?

This……

This is too melodramatic!

John, the aftermath worker lurking in the shadows, couldn't help but be a little stunned.

But it also explains why these two people acted together.

how to say?

All I can say is that the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
