Facts have proved that when a master tells you that something is simple and easy to learn and can be mastered in just a short time, then this thing is probably quite difficult.
"Swish"
Meilin, with his eyes closed, moved easily in the siege of more than a dozen blood illusions, looking relaxed and freehand. The claws that were grabbed from all directions could not touch his body at all.
But Chilia, who stood aside with her waist on her back, looked dissatisfied. She seemed to think Merlin's performance was very clumsy.
"You can avoid attacks, be able to sense changes in emotions and things around you, but that's it. You've always used your keen perception to defend, but never incorporated it into your attack."
While taking out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, Chilia said casually while writing words:
"You are wasting your talent, do you know? Merlin, this has caused your perception to be stagnant and you can't continue to grow. Logically speaking, you should be able to briefly see what will happen in the next few seconds before the enemy launches an attack... but you can't do it yet, you have to train."
She put the piece of paper in her hand in front of Elsa. When Elsa saw the words, her expression changed slightly.
Chilia patted Elsa on the shoulder, but did not say much, but turned her head to look at Merlin:
"Your sword dance will always be blocked by the enemy because you lack this keen sense of offensiveness."
"Now...grasp their weaknesses, sword dance...attack!"
"Swish"
Meilin's silver sword jumped into his hand as the flames leaped. At the same time, he no longer simply dodged, but relied on some "instructions" brought by perception and quickly waved the sword in his hand.
The sharp sword blade danced into a gorgeous sword wheel in Meilin's hand. As the steps continued to move, the sword dance became more agile.
"Swish, swish, swish"
The five blood illusions in front of him were killed at the same time. He moved his steps and after a few weeks of rotation, the remaining illusions were also cut and killed.
Merlin opened his eyes and looked at the black fog and dust floating on his arms. He shook his head in disappointment.
Hitted...
Although only 2 times.
"ha."
Chilia let out a strange feeling, and she opened a door to other dimensions beside her and said to Merlin:
"Your atomization makes you not afraid of being hurt, but this ability also limits your sword skills to continue to improve. You have to consider how you should fight if your atomization is suppressed one day or loses this ability... Do you still have to continue to hit the blade?"
"But the first sword just now was pretty good. It seems that you already know that feeling... It's great, I should leave too."
As Chilia Tathagata did, she walked into the door of dimension, and in the midst of the white light, she waved to Merlin and Elsa:
"We'll see you next time."
"Swish"
The light curtain disappeared, and the chic woman helped Merlin solve a problem, and then left the world without asking for anything in return and continued her own dimensions.
"She looks in a hurry."
Merlin put away his sword and said to Elsa:
"It's really hard to imagine what her life is like every day...What's wrong with you? Baby, do you look in a bad mood?"
Merlin saw Elsa's slightly depressed expression and asked:
"Is something wrong?"
"nothing."
Elsa raised her head and smiled. She took Merlin's hand and said to Merlin:
"I just don't want to stay here. This is an alien city after all... I'll solve the trouble here quickly and then let's go home."
"All right."
Merlin felt that things seemed not that simple, but Elsa didn't want to say it, so he didn't continue to ask.
He turned his head to look at the ruins in the northwest corner of Sulphur Harbor, where thousands of blood illusions were shackled in the spirit-binding barrier. The blood knights of the Supreme Family were faithfully fulfilling Merlin's orders, constantly attracting the blood illusions wandering in the city into the spirit-binding barrier. Those illusions bound by the Aden Dharma Seal wanted to escape, but it was difficult to free themselves from the magic seals superimposed by several demon hunters.
The two half-demons called on the flames from hell without restraint, burning the remnants of these Dracula's power. Due to excessive divisions, these blood illusions are not stronger than ordinary vampires. Faced with the bombardment of the scorching hell fire, they could not resist it at all.
After all, they are just some kind of resounding remnants after Dracula's death. After losing Dracula's control, their threat has been infinitely reduced.
"Can you still hold on? Colson."
Merlin asked in the communicator:
“Is it difficult to manipulate the barrier?”
"No, it's not difficult, sir."
Colson replied:
"Our magic powers complement each other and can last for a few more hours, but these illusions... are too many."
"The wizards will handle the rest."
Merlin said:
"This is their way of expressing their apology, hold on for a while, and wait until the wizards deal with the troubles on the surface, and then come and take over. I'm going to deal with other troubles left by Dracula... Before I come back, you stay in the Sulphur Port and maintain order here as much as possible."
"Okay, sir."
Merlin hung up the communication, he looked back at Elsa, and he said:
"Let's go, let's find a suitable cemetery for Mr. Dracula."
————————————————————
"Bang"
Merlin led Elsa to push the door and walked into the mysterious room. Xuanlan waited for the arrival of his master in the hall as usual.
In the living room, Riana, who had changed into a robe, was sitting there drinking wine, and on the table in front of her, there was a wooden box.
"Have you handled your own family affairs?"
Merlin looked at Riana. He had known this girl for so long, and had never seen such a straightforward relaxation and enjoyment appear on her face. She was obviously just an ordinary fruit wine, but Riana drank the feeling of top-notch aged wine.
"I didn't care, I was too lazy to care."
Riana waved carelessly, and she said:
"The illusions are left to the demons to deal with. Anyway, those guys feel uncomfortable if they don't fight for a day. The number of those illusions is large, enough for them to fight and kill for a long time every day... Anyway, the entrances and exits of the border of hell are blocked, and those illusions cannot escape."
She patted the wooden box on the table and said to Merlin and Elsa:
"I have brought Dracula's remains back. You have to find him a cemetery, right? I think it's good to find a place to bury it at the border of hell. Even if he is resurrected again, I can turn him back into the cemetery."
"Can't leave it there."
Merlin reached out to open the wooden box, looking at the neatly arranged skeletons inside, and the skulls that were cleaned by Riana. The bones shining with jade-like blood were placed in the black velvet box, which looked a bit cunning.
"The border of hell has no concept of time. If it is really buried there, you may see a Dracula who is lifting up and jumping around tonight or tomorrow morning."
"In the absence of endless reincarnation, this will be a big hidden danger."
Merlin reached out to pick up Dracula's skull, and he looked at the black eye sockets, and he said to Elsa:
"Dracula's resurrection requires bones?"
“In theory, it’s not necessary.”
Elsa replied:
"His immortality comes from the never-drying river of blood, and it has nothing to do with his own bones. In fact, when Dracula died for the first time, his bones were burned by my ancestors, but more than 100 years later, he was still awakened... In fact, almost every time Dracula was awakened, ordinary people were involved."
"I don't know if this is his established destiny. His resurrection based on his previous body may be more of a occult orientation, and there is always some mysterious connection between the spirit and the bones."
Elsa sighed and said:
"But before we really find the origin of Dracula, we cannot relieve his immortality. He will always be resurrected, and for all kinds of strange reasons, it is almost impossible to interfere with, let alone prevent it."
She looked at the skull in Merlin's hand and said:
"These bones can be destroyed, or you can simply treat them as collections. Don't you like to collect these weird things? Although this is not the original remains of Dracula, as the bones that have carried the souls of the legendary, it is also a very precious magic material."
"Um..."
Meilin looked at the box of bones in front of him, and frowned. After a moment, he folded the box and handed it to Xuanlan beside him, and he said:
"Put this bone in the collection room."
"Actually I can use it to carve a cane for you, Master Merlin."
Xuan Lan took the box and she suggested to Meilin:
“Many spellcasters like to collect these mysterious skeletons to make some magical items, and in many civilizations, wearing enemy skulls on them is also a symbol of strength and majesty. I mean, if you need a cane worthy of your identity, I can prepare now.”
"Oh well."
Meilin thought for a while and said to Xuanlan:
"The appearance of the cane is low-key, don't be so conspicuous. As for the name of the cane, let me think about it."
Merlin stretched out his finger and rubbed his forehead. After a moment, he said:
"Just call it 'Dracula's Tomb'. To be honest, I'm looking forward to the next scene where he is resurrected in the remains, a legendary vampire jumps out of my cane...it's interesting to think about it."
"This will definitely be regarded as a great humiliation by Dracula."
Riana interjected while drinking the fruit wine:
"Maybe the first thing he did after he was resurrected is to come to you to kill the sky and the earth and take back his remains from you."
"It's okay, let him come."
Merlin reached out and held Elsa's shoulder, and he said:
"With my amazing girlfriend by my side, he will only be as far away from me as possible."
"Tsk tsk."
Riana glanced at the close two people in front of her and said:
"After a ten thousand-year-old single dog found a partner, he couldn't wait to show his love and take care of me, a single girl, would you?"
"All right."
Merlin smiled, he picked up the teacup that Xuanlan placed in front of him, sipped a sip of tea, and then said to Riana:
"What about you? What are your thoughts next?"
"I, I may be in the human world for a while."
Riana said a little bored:
"There are still wars on the border of hell. I don't bother to pay attention to those things. I will go back after the demons' war is over. When are you going to take me to see my brother?"
"Let's go in a few days."
Merlin calculated the time and said to Riana:
"When I finish dealing with the Sulphur Port, I'll talk about it...or, you can go see him yourself? Anyway, his memory bottle is right there with you, you're also a spellcaster, just return the memory to him."
"I'd better wait for you to go together."
A trace of tangle appeared on Riana's face, she said:
"I haven't met Piot in more than ten years. I beat him half to death last time... If you're not here, I always feel that our meeting will be embarrassing."
"Believe me, he will never blame you."
Merlin said:
"He will only be glad that his sister is still alive, and will only be happy that you have freedom. Piot, although occasionally a bit rigid, is a real kind person."
"Oh, you're so annoying."
Riana interrupted Merlin with an irritable look on her face, and she said to Merlin:
"Just let you call me after you finish your work. Do you always like to recite like this? I'll leave first, I want to experience life in the human world."
The Queen of Hell's Border stood up, she moved her body and walked towards the door of the mysterious house, but after taking a few steps, she remembered something again, and turned around and threw a rolled black blade whip to Merlin.
"This is something I found from the edge of Dracula's bones, it's your trophy."
"Do you want it?"
Merlin looked at the dark blade whip that was entrenched like the deepest shadow in his hand, and said to Riana:
"This thing looks quite expensive."
"I can't use it."
Riana simply said:
"I don't like this sneaky weapon either. It's quite suitable for you. Well, since you say that the promise doesn't count, then I'll compensate you for this thing as the reward you helped me before."
After saying that, Riana opened the door and walked out. In the huge mysterious room, only Merlin and Elsa were left.
"Um..."
As soon as Merlin turned around, Elsa took the initiative to kiss his lips. This girl rarely took the initiative, but how to say that after a big battle, there must be a moment of relaxation.
Merlin took off Elsa's coat and snapped her fingers gently, and the lights of the whole house quickly disappeared at this moment.
Leave all those troubles behind your head and enjoy the moment.
