Hao Ren still remembered how Hesperides looked the first time he met her. She was a calm, slightly gloomy woman, like a slightly gloomy older sister. However, he was shocked when he saw her for the second time. Hesperides looked like a hungry ghost that had crawled out of hell. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was hoarse. The giant mace in her hand was made of unknown material, and it was stained with the blood of countless people. Vivian covered her eyes and whispered, "My second personality..."
"Have you seen the One-eyed Dragon?!" Hesperides looked like she had gone crazy, but in fact, she was still conscious. She stared at Hao Ren and Vivian and asked in a hoarse voice, "Leave him to me, leave him to me..."
"You've been fighting for too long. You should go back and rest." Vivian seemed to be trying to calm Hesperides down. However, after getting a fierce glare from Hesperides, she shook her head helplessly. "The demon hunters didn't come here at all. The shadelings bastards have colluded with them. We're going to kill Bethanos now. Do you want to come with us?"
"No, I'm going to find Cyclops. I'm going to kill him." A crimson halo gradually rose from the "mace" in Hesperides's hand. Under the halo, the surrounding space gradually became scorching hot and distorted. "I can feel... I can feel that he has come to this city. I'm not wrong this time. My wound feels like it's on fire... Ah, the arrowhead in my wound must have sensed its master's call! It will also bring me to its evil master's side … "
Hesperides mumbled as if she was having a psychotic episode. The gorgeous jewelry on her forehead shone with a silver luster. Vivian looked at her delirious friend with pity at first, but when she heard the last few words of Hesperides, her expression suddenly changed. "Wait a minute, you felt it this time?"
"It's true." Hesperides covered her forehead and laughed hoarsely. "He's alive, he's here, and he's going to die today!"
Having said that, Hesperides did not give Vivian a chance to ask more questions. She turned into an orange glow and dissipated into the air. Hao Ren asked curiously, "What's going on? Who is Cyclops? "
"Cyclops is the 'Elder' of the demon hunters." Vivian turned and continued to walk towards the shadelings' castle. "We don't know his real name. We only know that he's blind in one eye. The wound on Hesperides's head was caused by that guy. I didn't expect that guy to still be alive... A demon hunter who has lived to this day is at least an 'Elder' level, maybe even a 'Sage'... "
When Hao Ren heard that, he asked, "Does Hesperides need help?"
"There are other Elders in this city who will help. We have more important things to do," Vivian said without turning her head. "The most important thing now is to catch Bethanos. I have a hunch... he will escape soon, and he plans to go very far away. If we don't catch him this time, there will be endless trouble in the future."
Hao Ren nodded and did not say anything. Vivian could not help but mutter, "A guy who is at least an 'Elder' level led people to purify this city. What is there in this city that is worth their effort?"
Vivian did not slow down as she rushed towards the shadelings' castle. Her mind was filled with doubts. It was shocking enough that the demon hunters and the otherworldlings were colluding. Now, there was news that the commander of the demon hunters was one of the Elders who participated in the Olympus incident! If it was a new generation of demon hunters colluding with the shadelings, it would be understandable. But why would such an old demon hunter cooperate with Bethanos?
What was there in this city that was worth their effort?
Vivian frowned. Although she had not paid much attention to the otherworldlings, she could not help but think of a possibility. At the same time, the walkie-talkie in front of Hessiana's chest rang again. It was a message from the family's base camp. "Mistress! A large number of demon hunters are attacking us! The enemies in the nearby streets seem to have gathered! "
"Attacking us?" Hessiana was stunned. "Your artillery is too strong. Is it OT?"
"I don't know. There is also news that the Lucas Family is also under attack. The sentinel reported that the demon hunters in the city, other than those who are maintaining the dimensional rift, have gathered into two armies. They are attacking us and the Lucas Family respectively... "
"Can you still hold on?" Hessiana asked with a frown.
The voice on the walkie-talkie was firm. "No problem! We have sufficient ammunition. The demon hunters are obviously not used to our fighting style. They have not come up with an effective assault strategy. We have activated all the landmines. Now the demon hunters don't even dare to use teleportation. "
Hessiana laughed. "Take it easy. Don't blow up your own people."
"Are the demon hunters attacking the Hessianite and Lucas families?" Vivian tilted her head and glanced at Hessiana. "Looks like I'm right. They are also here for the ruins... and Bethanos has lied to them."
Hao Ren was also thinking about this matter. By now, he had almost figured it out at the same time as Vivian: What did Hessiana and the Lucas Family have that was worth the attention of the shadelings and the demon hunters? Why would they come for it in such a big way? The answer was already there. It was the two key slabs that Bethanos had snatched away. Regardless of the truth of the ruins, it was obvious that Bethanos had leaked the information that the key slabs were in the hands of the two vampire families to the demon hunters!
However, the old fox did not tell the demon hunters that he had already snatched the key slabs.
The Shadowfiend Castle was engulfed in flames. After a round of aerial bombing and subsequent RPG attacks, two-thirds of the black castle with thousands of years of history had collapsed. Only huge rocks cracked by the high temperature and crumbling walls were left, trying to outline the original grand scale of the ancient castle. After the first wave of demonic forces had bombed the castle, Hessiana sent another group of people over. The second group dropped a large number of white phosphorus bombs and various high-performance incendiaries. They did not expect to burn the half-demon shadelings to death, but they wanted to completely destroy the castle. This was Hessiana's style. The cute and lively little vampire had a particularly ruthless side. If she clearly saw someone as an enemy, she would not stop until she crushed the enemy into powder. She had decided to destroy the foundation of the shadelings, and not a single brick of the castle would be left.
But that was how the war between the otherworldlings was. These different and contradictory creatures were never afraid to completely annihilate their opponents if necessary. Therefore, the shadelings in the castle did not lose their composure in the face of this crazy attack. They did not lament the destruction of their home or regret that they had provoked a group of demons. They just fought tenaciously in silence, almost numb to everything. Even when they were at a disadvantage under the air attack, they still managed to inflict heavy casualties on Hessiana's troops.
But that was all the old family could do. The difference in strength between the Hessianite Family and the shadelings was not that big. Now that the Hessianite Family had the advantage of a trump card, and the Lucas Family had successfully blocked some of the forces of the shadelings, the resistance of the castle was almost done for.
Hao Ren and his entourage passed through the smoke-filled atrium of the castle and the ruins of the garden littered with the corpses of shadelings and vampires. They encountered the last wave of resistance in the depths of the castle. After Y'zaks blasted the half-demons away with his true demonic power, Hao Ren kicked open the heavy stone door in front of him.
This was probably the last intact door in the entire castle. Of course, the last door was gone.
There was no sign of Bethanos in the basement. There was only a slowly closing dimensional door and the remains of an altar that was still smoking.
They did not see the key tablet, only some white fragments scattered around the altar.
Hessiana quickly ran over and found some small metal fragments in the wreckage of the altar. She was so angry that she laughed. "Haha... a time bomb and a door-opening ritual. The old bastard is really keeping up with the times. Is he not going to come out?"
