Chapter 213: Nightmare and Sweet Dreams 2 in 1
"Ah—"
White's screams ripped through the night.
Betty and Scott woke up almost at the same time.
The flickering firelight illuminated the vampire's profile.
The pale, shriveled face was turning ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
White, who was pressed under it, struggled violently, but the power gap between the two was too obvious. His hands were tightly clamped by the vampire, unable to move at all.
However, this struggle only lasted for less than a few seconds.
The poison injected from the vampire's fangs paralyzed his nerves, and his whole body stopped struggling.
Robert woke up, trying his best to open his eyes to look in White's direction, but thought he was dreaming.
It was just that this nightmare was so real that he couldn't help but feel terrified."Magic summoning!"
Betty's response was the fastest. A slender snake-like magical spirit with a bright body color flew out of her sleeve almost instantly!
That was the 3-star magical spirit that Betty developed in the second year -- Magic Moray!
A Magic Moray was as long as a snake, with a small head and a protruding mouth. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and its teeth protruded from the lips, looking extremely ugly.
Its skin had no scales but was covered with a fine magic pattern.
The magic pattern all over its body allowed its attributes to be converted between water, electric, and poison, so that the distribution of magic energy, attack, and defense, and skills could be changed.
The Magic Moray that flew out of Betty's sleeves was covered with a layer of golden-yellow lines, and its whole body shone with lightning. It was as fast as lightning, biting the vampire's shoulder in the blink of an eye!
But the vampire simply reached out and grabbed the Magic Moray firmly, letting the lightning hit the palm of his hand without having any reactions.
"Lightning beam!"
Along with Betty's roar, the Magic Moray suddenly opened its snake-like mouth, the lightning arcs all over its body suddenly rushed into its mouth, turning into a condensed and not scattered lightning bolt, and shot out suddenly!
"Pfft!"
The vampire's face was hit directly by the lightning bolt, but only a little scorch mark appeared.
The vampire raised his head slowly after being hit.
The satisfaction after drinking blood made him gradually wake up from the state of confusion and thirst, and the scarlet light in his eyes condensed slightly.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What am I doing?"
Three questions appeared in his mind.
Fragmented memories gradually emerged.
"Vlad, Vlad, I'm Vlad!"
"I'm resurrected!"
"I'm back!"
Vlad the vampire suddenly stood up, the blood cloak behind him fluttered in the air.
...
"Poison Fang!"
The Magic Moray's magic pattern changed from golden yellow to rich dark green, secreting thick venom from its sharp fangs, and then biting on Vlad's fingers.
Vlad raised his left hand, looked at the Magic Moray, and suddenly exerted strength.
"Bang!"
The Magic Moray was directly squeezed to death!
Betty's face was pale. Her duel performance was not outstanding, and her ability to deal with emergencies was average.
According to White's description, except for a Minotaur that appeared once, there were only a few bats that appeared occasionally in this secret passage.
As the crowd of students exploring the secret passage left the secret passage, the changes that had occurred in the secret passage were restored as before, and those traps disappeared one after another.
This also gave her the illusion that the secret passage at this time was no longer dangerous.
However, what happened in front of her was frantically impacting her judgment.
"Vampire?"
"A magical spirit?"
"Or a real vampire?"
...
"Three-eyed Cuttlefish!" The three-eyed Cuttlefish was summoned by Scott.
As soon as it appeared, it suddenly sprayed out pitch-black ink!
Vlad was still in a state of transitioning from confusion to sobriety. Failing to dodge the attack, he was sprayed with the cuttlefish-flavored ink all over his face!
Furious, he stretched out his hand suddenly and wiped his face.
But just as his slender fingers finished wiping the ink from his eyes, a sharp flash of light entered his field of vision and quickly became bigger in his eyes.
The water monkey's nails gleamed fiercely. It dashed over under the cover of ink, attempting to gouge out the vampire's eyes!
"Get lost!" Vlad shouted angrily.
Immediately afterward, a blood-red hand stretched out from his shawl after his blood cloak squirmed for a while, hitting the water monkey at the critical moment, sending it flying!
The water monkey was smashed onto the wall and slid down like a piece of wet paper.
...
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Vlad's actions of easily killing two magical spirits created a sudden panic.
"Ah!" Robert screamed in fear, albeit late.
...
The sudden change completely woke Betty, Scott, and Robert.
But all three were still half-hidden in their sleeping bags.
White was also the same, with only his hands exposed.
The bite wound on his neck had almost healed at this moment, but the lost blood wouldn't regenerate so quickly.
The poison in the Vampire's fangs made him very calm.
He couldn't even produce any desire to resist.
...
Vlad the vampire revealed its ferocity completely in front of the four students.
After his resurrection, his consciousness was chaotic. At this time, his mind finally became clear slightly, but the fragmentary memory in his mind was not enough to support him to understand the situation.
He was like a newborn child. Apart from his name, he only had vampire instinct and pride rooted deeply in his body!
But that didn't stop him from seeing the four students as food at the lower end of the biological chain!
The biological differences between the pure-blooded vampires and humans made the contradictions between them irreconcilable.
This was the same as the conflicts between most demons and humans.
Only when one side died, the war would end!
However, it was impossible to completely eliminate one side.
...
Vlad's resurrection was mostly accidental. But in astrology, this kind of accident would be called "inevitability".
In the words of the prophets, this was "fate"!
A prophet who was hated by many people once said that the human race and the demon race were like the bright side and dark side of the same thing. As long as the human race survived, the demon race would not really be destroyed.
The prophets used this as the basis and repeatedly predicted the return of the demons.
It was as if they did not prophesy so, they would lose their jobs =.=.
The sky outside the castle was overcast and cloudy. There was an atmosphere of an impending rainstorm.
...
"Who are you?" Robert's question broke the silence.
Vlad turned to look at him, his nose twitching slightly, showing a look of disgust in his eyes.
The nobler the vampire, the pickier they were. To them, not just anyone could be lucky enough to be their food.
Among the four people present, only White and Betty were qualified to be his food.
And the only person who was qualified to accept his embrace was White!
He ignored Robert's question, but looked down at White, the corners of his mouth grinning gradually, revealing gleaming fangs.
"Feel the honor, you will become Vlad's first Thrall!"
From Thrall to Bloodseeker, and then to vampire; this was a necessary advancing process for a non-genetic vampire.
The poison in White's blood vessels finally faded to a certain extent during this process.
He widened his eyes suddenly, revealing a trace of fear.
Accepting the embrace of a vampire, and becoming a thrall of a vampire, was a path he could never imagine.
That was not only a denial of himself, but also an insult to the hero's bloodline!
White struggled desperately, trying to escape from the sleeping bag.
Almost simultaneously, Betty and Scott got out of their sleeping bags and stretched their hands to the card pouch at their waists.
Vlad was confident in his own strength. Not only did he not stop them, but he also smirked while folding his arms before his chest.
When one was no longer worried about hunger, other desires would emerge.
Therefore, after his thirst was quenched, the vampire naturally wanted to have some fun.
After all, those were just mere humans.
...
"Troll!"
It turned out that White was the first to summon his magical spirit.
He broke through his limit, further compressing Normal Summoning Spell's casting time.
The huge Troll fell from the sky and charged at the vampire fearlessly!
"Inferior species!" Vlad sneered. With a lift of his hand, two magic circles appeared in his palm.
The magic circles with black and red as the main tones were overlapped, one rotating clockwise and the other rotating counterclockwise.
The huge magic energy burst out instantly, forming a bright crimson magic light and blasting out from the magic circles!
In the next moment, the Troll's head exploded instantly!
"Boom!"
The headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.
...
Seeing that Troll, the magical spirit that he was proud of, was easily killed, White's face turned paler. He leaned against the wall, barely able to stop himself from collapsing, and quickly kicked Robert, who was still stunned in his sleeping bag.
Robert woke up abruptly and scrambled out of his sleeping bag.
"Run!" White was only able to say this word, his fingers shaking desperately as he grabbed [Radiant Python].
He had never had such fear.
Even in the Temple of the Moon on Halloween.
At that time, everyone was infused with [Soulless Water] and he was the only one who was sober. That made him feel a little proud of himself.
When he was controlled by the Moon Goddess to attack Dark, deep down, he didn't think that anything serious would happen to him.
After all, it was not him who was really targeted by the goddess.
He just witnessed it all from the side, like an outsider who strayed into the script.
But this time, he was the protagonist!
The protagonist in a fairy tale, the core of the story, and the party targeted by evil.
He must be brave!
He must not panic!
And he must find a way to solve the current crisis!
...
"Mirage!" Betty raised her right hand at the moment Troll fell to the ground, and released an extremely strong colorful light from the magic card in her palm.
A dreamlike phantom image was immediately projected in the secret passage.
The colorful light flowed violently like turbulent sea waves, blocking the sights of the people present while making the bellowing sound as if the waves were constantly hitting the coast.
The vampire finally showed a surprised expression.
He stretched out his fingers and touched the sea waves in front of him. Then he actually felt a real coldness.
But other than that, he did not feel anything.
This [Mirage] actually wasn't complete yet. It was just one of the research projects Betty was working on.
The expected [Mirage] should be able to project the opponent's magical spirit, trapping the opponent in an illusion.
But the current [Mirage] was just a landscape card, and it could only be used as a means of interference except for viewing!
After the initial surprise, Vlad rolled up his cloak, letting the blood flow out of his body quickly. After a few moments, the blood suddenly rushed back to his body again, breaking the illusion instantly!
However, with the disappearance of the illusion, the four students had already disappeared from the secret passage.
White and his group had escaped.
...
In a secret room full of mirrors, the four held their breaths, sweating all over their foreheads.
Hiding in such a small room with only one entrance was not a very good idea.
But the powerful strength that the vampire showed was too terrifying, so they had no choice but to avoid the battle.
"White, are you alright?" Robert asked nervously, "I heard that after being bitten by a vampire, the victim will turn into a vampire..."
Only until now did White seem to remember this, and his already pale face suddenly became distorted.
At this point, only Betty's voice was calm: "It won’t be that bad, only humans who are embraced by a vampire will be transformed into thralls. You can check your eyeballs and see if they had turned red."
White quickly opened his eyes wide and held his eyelids with his fingers, wanting to look in the mirror. However, Robert leaned over nervously at this moment, and after a while, he said in relief: "They are still black!"
White was relieved: "It seems that I just lost some blood."
At this time, the after-effects of being sucked blood came to his head. He suddenly felt weak in his limbs, and mentally exhausted; even his eyelids became heavy.
Scott was very worried: "What is going on, how come there is a vampire in the secret passage?"
White: "How do I know..."
Robert; "We have encountered a Minotaur before, but that was a long time ago!"
Scott hugged his head: "Damn it, we probably won't be able to get out of here alive. If I die here, what will happen to my parents? What will happen to my family? I am my family's last hope!"
Robert also panicked: "That won’t really happen, right? After all, we also survived the Moon Goddess incident. Professors will probably come to save us like the last time."
White said weakly, "It wasn't just the professors who saved us."
Betty finally said impatiently: "Quiet! "
As the strongest fighting force among the four, Betty had never felt so much pressure.
After she escaped into the secret room, she immediately began to summon new magical spirits. At this moment, she had successfully summoned one magical spirit of the second tier by sacrificing two magical spirits of the first tier.
But one magical spirit of the second tier was still not enough!
Her Magic Moray was a type with abundant magic energy. In the form of the poison magic pattern, its magic energy plus defense value would exceed 2,500 points.
This meant that Vlad's attack power definitely exceeded 2500!
He was at least a 6-star monster or higher!
She must summon a magical spirit of the third tier to have a certain chance of winning.
But the third-tier magical spirit she currently possessed was just a 7-star white card.
"If supplemented by other magic cards..."
Betty quickly calculated the strength gap between her and the vampire, trying to shorten it to an acceptable level.
...
Meanwhile, outside the secret room.
In fact, Vlad had already discovered the secret room following the residual smell of the four students.
