Chapter 120: Vampires’ Internal Strife?

Emerging from Jack’s small shop.

William pondered for a moment and decided not to head home, instead walking towards Gedo Street.

It had been quite a while since he last visited the Adventurers’ Guild mansion. Since he was already out, he figured he might as well pay a visit, to see if Nichole and Jason had taken on any new commission tasks recently.

On his way to Gedo Street, William casually bought some fried radish balls and wild mushroom chicken skewers from a roadside stall.

Honestly, sometimes the food from these stalls was really good.

Because they could only attract customers through taste, while some so-called high-end restaurants relied on atmosphere and style to hike up prices, the quality of their food left much to be desired.

William finished his wild mushroom chicken skewer satisfactorily and watched as Angela happily nibbled on the radish balls on his shoulder.

Both of them enjoyed these snacks greatly, and William even thought about buying more on his way back.

Just as the two of them had just entered Gedo Street, they could already see the towering roof of the Mercenaries Guild in the distance.

Suddenly, chaos erupted!

Bang!

The entire wall of a building in front of William collapsed, with wood and stone debris flying everywhere, causing pedestrians nearby to scream in terror and dodge.

William quickly activated his shield while cautiously observing the scene before him.

He could see clearly that the building had been shattered from the inside by someone.

The culprits were the two masses of blood-colored mist entangled in mid-air, emitting intense fluctuations.

What’s going on? Why does this look so much like the skill of a vampire’s mist incarnation?

William carefully observed the battle in mid-air, stepping back to a safe distance.

Given the circumstances, could it be the vampire Mora mentioned, the one who killed his own kind in Golden Lily Lane?

Regardless of who they were, both sides of the battle exerted considerable pressure on William, likely being powerful figures of the Gold Tier.

After a moment’s thought, William took a few more steps back.

With two life-saving cards given by legendary figures, William’s style of action had become somewhat more audacious, such as now.

In the past, he would have definitely left without looking back, but now he wanted to see the outcome of the battle between these two gold-tier vampires.

Just as William retreated to the side, the two masses of blood-colored mist in mid-air churned violently. One of them suddenly receded, its brilliance dimming slightly, indicating it had suffered a significant blow.

As the blood-colored mist dissipated, two figures appeared in mid-air, paying no heed to the approaching noon sunlight.

Once vampires broke through to the higher ranks, sunlight hardly had any harmful effects on them.

However, they still didn’t enjoy the feeling of being under the sun.

Except for a certain white bat.

One of them should be the vampire who just suffered a setback, with a handsome yet pale face exuding ferocity and shadow.

“Who are you, and why have you been targeting me?”

“I don’t remember knowing you!”

Despite the coldness in his voice, there was a hint of concession, as the Gold Tier vampire Cortana didn’t want to continue the fight.

During their recent exchange, he found that his blood magic seemed to be completely countered by the person before him.

This was extremely eerie!

Both of them were using blood magic, so why could you still counter mine?

“Are you done talking?”

On the other side, the other Gold Tier vampire, Marion, who had just arrived from the south, floated in the air, speaking with an indifferent tone.

“If you’re done, then just die quietly. Watching you scums, I feel disgusted.”

With a swift movement of his right hand, a blood-colored long blade appeared in Marion’s hand as he lunged towards Cortana.

Cortana’s expression turned cold. This guy clearly had no intention of reasoning with him; he could only muster his magic to fend him off.

This guy acts like it would be your greatest honor to die by my hand.

Cortana felt extremely frustrated. It had been a long time since he felt this way. Ever since he reached the Gold Tier, although he couldn’t openly show himself, life in the shadows of Canlight City had been quite enjoyable.

Scheduled offerings from blood servants, occasionally capturing a few fresh and tasty prey; as long as he was careful, he wouldn’t be discovered by the kingdom or the Church of the Gods.

Yesterday, this troublesome guy came knocking on his door without a word, ready to kill, and with such strength.

If he hadn’t sensed the danger and left all his subordinates behind, he might not have escaped last night.

He never expected that after relocating to Gedo Street, a hiding spot known by few, this guy would still relentlessly pursue him.

“How did you find me?”

Cortana was somewhat unwilling. If he didn’t clarify this, even if he managed to escape again, this guy would still come knocking at his door.

“Hey, I could smell your stench from miles away. Where do you think you can hide?”

Marion didn’t care; even if he said these things, these guys had no way out.

“Stop struggling. Just offer your heart to me obediently, and maybe I’ll spare your life.”

“Bullshit!”

Cortana was furious. Offering his heart to this guy was essentially asking for death, wasn’t it?

You see, for vampires, the heart is the most important part, storing the essence of their blood energy, something they couldn’t possibly give up.

“I’ve given you a chance. If you can’t seize it, don’t blame me.”

Marion chuckled somewhat sickeningly, disregarding Cortana’s attacks and directly charged into Cortana’s embrace, as intimate as a lover.

But the blood-colored long blade in Marion’s hand ruthlessly stabbed into Cortana’s shoulder, fiercely slashing. Cortana’s right arm, along with a significant portion of his body, was severed without any hindrance.

With severe injuries, Cortana no longer had the ability to resist. Furious in his heart, he directly triggered an explosion by manipulating his consciousness, detonating the severed arm.

The violent energy wave pushed Marion back tens of meters. After all, it was a self-destructive attack from a Gold Tier expert; completely absorbing it was also somewhat difficult for him.

Finally catching a breath, Cortana couldn’t afford to tangle with Marion any longer. He, who had been severely injured, just wanted to leave this place quickly.

With a swift movement, Cortana dashed towards the alley on the roadside.

Hmm, quite a coincidence!

It was the same alley where William stood.

It wasn’t that Cortana wanted to drink blood at this moment, but for safety reasons, he didn’t set up the secret passage in the hiding place’s house, but rather in a nearby alley.

But William didn’t know that. Seeing Cortana rushing towards him, he thought he had been discovered and wanted to pull him in as a scapegoat.

His reaction was swift. The emerald staff appeared in William’s hand. First, he cast Advanced Protection Field on himself, then used the Fifth Circle spell, Ice Spikes, condensing a huge ice spike in mid-air and attacking Cortana who was approaching him.

A Silver-tier mage?

Cortana was surprised. He didn’t expect his luck to be so bad, encountering an obstacle on his escape route.
