Relying on the Gate of Time and Space cast by Rhodes, Vera returned to the Emerald City first.
In the process of returning, Vera did not forget to use the spiritual imprint to let his corpse witches gather outside the city. Rhodes first sent these corpse witches to the water elemental plane.
Although he promised Rhodes to go to the water elemental plane to transform undead creatures, there was still someone he couldn't let go of in Vera's heart, and that was his brother Lyle. Before leaving, Vera planned to
Say goodbye to him.
Since preparing to launch an attack on the Quiet City, Vera has not returned to the Emerald City for a long time. This time he went to the water element plane, and he didn't know when he would be able to return. At this time, Vera really wanted to see his brother. Soon, Vera came to a larger wooden house. The wooden house that originally belonged to the Eli creature had already been occupied by the Necromancer Dove. This was also the wooden house that Vera specially selected for Lyle.
Unceremoniously pushing the unlocked wooden house away, Vera shouted: "Lyle, I'm back."
However, the scene inside the house made Vera stunned.
What appeared in the house was not Lyle as Vera imagined, but a beautiful woman he had never seen before.
"Who are you? Where is Lyle?" Vera asked loudly.
"You must be Vera." Faced with Vera's questioning, the woman seemed unusually calm and revealed Vera's identity, "I heard Lyle mention you before."
Hearing what the woman said, Vera immediately felt relieved: "Where is Lyle?"
"I really don't want you to hear this news." The woman sighed: "Lyle disappeared not long ago, and it looks like something is in danger."
Vera's expression changed, and his death energy suddenly overflowed: "What happened?"
"Lyle and some necromancers encountered unimaginable beings while patrolling around the Emerald City. Since then, they have all lost their traces, and they have disappeared together with the corpse witches under them. I heard from the people on the lord's side.
, Lyle and the others met the terrifying Devourer of the Undead. There was no possibility of survival. They... they had already..."
The woman spoke in a sad tone, and at the end, she began to choke in her words.
Vera was startled, but then heard the woman continue:
"I am his friend. After hearing the news, I couldn't sleep all night and was so sad that I came to this wooden house to wait here, hoping that he could return one day..."
Tears fell from the woman's eyes, and she leaned directly towards Vera. After getting close, she huddled up and sobbed. Vera was indifferent and allowed the woman's body to get closer, and could only pat her shoulder to express comfort.
"Woo..."
As her body twisted slightly, the woman's mouth came close to Vera's neck at some point.
The vermilion lips were parted, and the sharp and terrifying fangs were growing wantonly from her mouth.
Just when she was about to go further, her throat was stuck by something powerful and she could no longer move forward.
"You lied."
When Vera's cold words came out, flames almost burst out of her eyes.
"Uh, I don't understand..." The woman looked at Vera with an innocent face, and her eyes were a little panicked. It seemed that she didn't understand what Vera was talking about.
Her face turned red, and she tried to forcefully break away Vera's hand on her neck, but Vera was determined to strangle her throat, and no matter how hard she struggled, the strength never weakened.
Just when she was about to suffocate, bursts of black mist suddenly poured out of her body, instantly drowning Vera in front of her.
In the black mist, Vera let out a muffled groan, obviously suffering a lot of damage. Fortunately, the black mist came and went quickly, and completely disappeared in a short period of time.
"I don't understand..." As the black fog dissipated, a woman's figure appeared in the corner of the room, "How did you discover the abnormality?"
Half of the woman's body was now eroded by the energy of death, and her skin was charred black, as if it had been burned by flames.
At this time, she had taken off her original disguise, her sharp fangs protruded from her mouth, her nails were as long as sharp blades, her face was cold and ferocious, and there was no hint of the beauty she had before.
"Vampire, you made a mistake about something very important." Vera said in a deep voice. The clothes in front of him had been scratched, and several deep claw marks were left on his chest, almost close to his throat.<
/p>
A sad look appeared on Vera's face. As a death knight, it was the first time that he resisted the coming of death.
"I have never, never been transformed near the Emerald City." Vera's eyes widened and she said with a trembling voice.
At this time, the woman seemed to realize something and showed an unbelievable look: "You mean..."
Vera did not give her a chance to continue speaking. The extremely dense cloud of death surged out of Vera's body and drowned the woman in front of her in an instant.
Submerged in the dark clouds, the low-ranking woman lost all ability to resist. Her flesh and blood were melted by the cloud of death and peeled off from her body, leaving only the horrifying white bones.
Just when her body was festering and she was about to lose all consciousness, the cloud of death dissipated first.
At this time, she only had her last breath left to support her life. As if she was breathless, Vera blocked the firelight behind and came to her side.
"Tell me, where is Lyle now?" Vera leaned down, gently held her head up with one hand, and asked at the same time.
"He died in my hands a long time ago. He kept calling Vera's name before he died." At the last moment of his life, everything was meaningless, and this female vampire just wanted to die quickly.
"Why are you doing this?"
It's a pity that Vera doesn't seem to want to kill him just like that, but plans to ask everything clearly.
Vera gently brushed her face, and along with a burst of pain, the woman's eyes lost their light.
Compared with the pain of peeling off the flesh and blood on her body, this pain at this time was nothing at all. It just suddenly lost its light and fell into darkness, but it made her feel sincere fear.
"Because this wooden house..."
"Wooden house?" Vera was a little confused after hearing the woman's explanation.
"This wooden house is very suitable for becoming a secluded house... The necromancer in it, apart from controlling some corpse witches, is not very powerful. I seduced him a little and got a chance to be alone with him." p>
As she said that, the woman who fell into darkness tightly grabbed Vera in front of her, as if this would make her feel a little better.
"Just for this wooden house, you killed the person I care about most?" Vera asked tremblingly.
"I need this secluded house to sleep so that I can become a more powerful vampire. You must understand me. Aren't you the same...devourer of the undead?"
Seeing the woman lying on the ground and telling her identity, Vera was startled, and then let the dark clouds completely submerge her figure.
Although the woman's breath has dissipated, Vera's heart cannot be calm for a long time.
