This is a place some distance away from the [Eight Fingers] stronghold.
Although there is a distance, it is not very far from the [Eight Fingers] stronghold, so this area is relatively remote and does not look like an inhabited place.
In such a place, a figure is standing on the roof of a rather old building that seems to have been left there for a long time.
It was a girl with very unique long hair that had different colors on the left and right sides of her head. One side was silvery white that made people's eyes dazzle, and the other side was jet black that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
The girl's eyes are the same color as her hair. They are different on the left and right. They are a pair of rare heterochromatic pupils. She looks relatively immature and looks less than 15 years old, but she is equipped with a set of paladin-like weapons. Full body armor, with wing-like decorations on the back of the armor, and a war scythe similar to a cross-gun in his hand, it is almost certain that this man is a highly capable warrior.
At this time, the girl warrior looked in the direction of the [Eight Fingers] stronghold with a thoughtful expression.
"What happened?"
She could feel a rather terrifying power wave coming from that direction, stimulating the skin all over her body.
"It's really interesting." The girl murmured to herself and said, "It can actually make my skin feel tingling. Such a powerful power should belong to that vampire, right?"
"Is she fighting someone else?"
"But, how come there are people of that level in this country?"
The girl's thoughtful expression became more and more intense, and gradually turned into curiosity.
Then, a voice came into her ears, interrupting her thinking.
"So you are here."
With the sound of this voice, a man walked out of the building and came behind the girl.
This person's appearance is more androgynous. It can only be judged from his voice that he is a male. He is also the same age as a girl. At least he does not look old in appearance. He is probably around 20 years old, which is quite young.
If Li Ge were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the identity of this androgynous young man.
Because, the other party appeared in the northern forest of E-Rantel more than two months ago, and brought a group of teammates with him, and suddenly broke into the battlefield between him and Shalltear.
That's right.
The young man is the chief of the Black Codex, one of only three awakened gods in the Slian Theocracy. He takes the name of the Black Codex, the most special unit of the Theocracy, as his title. One person can represent the entire Dark Codex. The existence of the holy book, the monster in Clementine's mouth.
This person actually came to the kingdom, to the royal capital, and even to the vicinity of the [Eight Fingers] stronghold.
"You feel it too, right?" The young man said with a solemn tone and expression: "This creepy force can only be that vampire."
"Yes." The girl seemed a little careless and said, "Sure enough, it is consistent with the information investigated by Fenghua Sacred Scripture. The vampire escaped to the kingdom and sneaked into the capital of the kingdom."
"Finally, we found her." The young man looked at the girl's back and said, "But she seems to be at war with someone. I'm a little concerned. Apart from us, who can make that vampire serious to this point? Is there anyone in the kingdom?
Is there one too?”
"Who knows." The girl still looked careless, but she answered the young man's question accurately, saying: "Could it be the warrior captain of the kingdom, Gazef Smith, who is known as the strongest warrior in the neighboring country?
Toronov, right?”
"No, it can't be him." The young man shook his head and denied without hesitation: "He has not even fully entered the realm of heroes. Even if he carries the four famous secret treasures of the kingdom, his strength should not have reached the extreme level.
The level of ordinary people is incomparable to ours, let alone fighting like this with that vampire. Even if he leads the warrior troops he trained to encircle and suppress the vampire, it is impossible for that vampire to take this seriously.
situation."
"Then I'm curious, how come someone who can compete with that vampire suddenly appeared in the kingdom?" The girl seemed to be interested, and said: "Could it be someone like the Dragon King who happened to pass by by chance?"
"...It's hard to say otherwise." The young man frowned and said, "Among the True Dragon Kings that the priest once mentioned, there seems to be one who likes to travel around, but his whereabouts are often a mystery, and no one has ever seen him.
Could it be that the Dragon King passed by here by chance and got into a fight with the vampire?"
"It is also possible that he is a strong human being hidden in the kingdom." The girl seemed to be more interested in this guess and said: "If so, then the other party is the same existence as us."
"...Like us, are there people who have inherited the bloodline of 'players'?" The young man pondered for a while, and then said: "Although it is not impossible, after all, in addition to the gods we believe in, there are other people on this continent.
There have been other "players" who appeared. If the other party has blood and is awakened like us, it would not be surprising that he can fight against that vampire."
"It's just that I really don't want to believe that there is such a person in this decadent country."
There was no contempt for the kingdom in the young man's tone, he was just stating the facts.
"I really hope that kind of person will show up, right?"
But the girl said so.
She stared in the direction of the [Eight Fingers] stronghold, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved, showing an obvious smile, but the smile felt as if it was stained with blood, full of desire to fight and a desire to win.
"If there is someone who can fight against that vampire on his own, then the other party may be able to fight me and let me taste defeat."
The girl said these words, which filled the air with the smell of danger.
The young man knew that this was a common problem among young girls.
The other party is a person who would say such things, and he is already used to it.
"To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine anyone in the human race who can rival you."
The young man's words were full of admiration and trust for the girl.
"It's just that if the other party can really fight that vampire alone, then regardless of comparing with you, the other party will definitely be stronger than me."
At least, the young man knew very well that he could not fight that vampire alone.
I am no match for that vampire. Even if I am equipped with the artifacts given by the country, I am afraid that I will still be far behind.
Even the girl in front of him, who was much stronger than him, probably wouldn't be a match for that vampire if she wasn't equipped with those artifacts.
Under such circumstances, I am definitely not as good as the girl who can fight the vampire alone, let alone the character who is fighting fiercely with the opponent.
Just when the young man was thinking this, the girl suddenly said something.
"Could the other party be the one you mentioned in your report last time who was fighting the vampire in the northern forest of the kingdom's fortress city before you broke in?"
The young man was slightly startled by the girl's sudden words, and then fell into deep thought.
He couldn't help but recall the experience of leading a team to perform a mission in E-Rantel more than two months ago.
At that time, the chief priest gave him a task, asking him to take the true artifact - "Qingguoqingcheng" - to the vicinity of the kingdom's fortress city, and go there to find the real dragon king who is very likely to be resurrected.
The other party destroyed all the Sunshine Scriptures and countered the intelligence magic cast by the Theocracy's clergy, causing the Theocracy to suffer huge losses. Therefore, after discussion, the priests agreed that in the Kingdom's fortress city,
Nearby, it is very likely that a dangerous True Dragon King has been resurrected.
They wanted to subdue the dragon king and bring him into the theocracy, turning him into a force that protects the country and conquers foreigners.
Therefore, the chief priest asked the young man to set out with the real artifact Qingguoqingcheng, and ordered him to conquer the opponent with Qingguoqingcheng if he really encountered the resurrected Dragon King.
However, when the young man led the members of the Black Scripture into the northern forest of E-Rantel, they encountered a terrible enemy there.
A vampire.
The opponent's power was quite terrifying, making the young man who was an awakened god feel like his hair was standing on end, so he did not hesitate to give instructions to his companion who was carrying the true artifact, asking her to use the overwhelming power on the vampire.
As a result, before the opponent was about to be completely dominated, he howled and violently killed several of his team members, including those who used the real artifact, so that the mental control was incomplete, leaving the opponent
They have become monsters that don't distinguish between friend and foe and will attack whenever they get close, leaving them with no choice but to retreat.
That mission failed and left a trail of disaster, which caused the vampire to bear a grudge against the Theocracy and not long ago attacked the human cities of Theocracy, causing a major tragedy.
Therefore, the young man and the girl were sent out together, with the purpose of defeating the dangerous vampire. Even if the opponent escaped into the capital of the kingdom, they would not be let go.
And the young man still vaguely remembers that back then, in the northern forest of E-Rantel, there was a man who was confronting that terrifying vampire.
The other person had a younger appearance than himself, but he was facing the vampire alone. When he felt terrified because of the vampire's power, the other person had a calm and calm look on his face, which surprised him at the time.
Afterwards, the young man mentioned that person to the priest and others, which aroused considerable attention among the senior leaders of the Theocracy.
If it was that person...
"Indeed, the person currently fighting that vampire is probably that person."
The young man nodded and confirmed the girl's guess.
"In this case, what should we do next? Team leader?"
The girl turned around and looked at the young man with a smile.
The young man saw the militant emotions in his eyes and felt helpless.
However, he still made a decision.
"Now that we have found the target, it is naturally time for us to appear." The young man said: "While there is a strong person fighting with that vampire, we will rush in directly and find a way to join forces with that person to completely defeat the vampire.
."
Hearing this, the girl smiled, very happily.
"Then let me see if that person is qualified to join forces with me."
"Join forces with me - [Jue Die Jue Ming]."
The extra seat of the Black Scripture, the truly strongest human being in this world made such a speech.
As everyone knows, in a distant place, there is a person watching this scene through a mirror.
"The prey has entered the cage."
Pushing up the mask on his face, Demiurge let out a low laugh.
"Then, it's time to close the net."
The devil's low laughter echoed under the sky and did not calm down for a long time.
The sky is gradually getting dark, and the royal capital is about to usher in night, ushering in the biggest disaster in history.
