It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Yin Shang had been standing in the shadows of the underground passage in the Vampire Clan's Dark Zone the whole time, without taking a single step out.
In the darkness, he never looked directly at her, as if deliberately hiding something...
The woman turned her gaze to the prominent signboard at the entrance to the vampire's dark zone.
Above, there is only one sentence written in multiple languages:
[Vampire Underground Dark Zone - Non-Vampires Prohibited]
...
...
...
just now.
Whoosh—thud!
If Coco lands lightly from the sky, she quickly uses the huge scythe in her hand to set up a defensive stance.
"...Um?"
She looked around, but the place was still empty; she seemed to be trapped in some kind of looping space. No matter how she moved, she would instantly return to the rooftop after landing.
"Sigh, we've fallen for their trap. It's impossible for me to go back and help Lulu now!"
She looked at the Night Witch beside her:
"Lulu?"
The dark blue witch, whose face and figure were exactly like Ludwig's, did not respond to her call at this moment.
She followed Ludwig silently, expressionless and without uttering a word. She only tilted her head slightly in response to Ludwig's question.
If Coco sighs, these kinds of little gestures are undoubtedly just the interactive abilities that the Eternal Night Witch possesses.
The Night Witch has lost Ludwig's control and has returned to her original "autonomous action" state, retaining only extremely limited intelligence.
"Sigh, I really don't know if Lulu can upgrade her 'AI'. If something happens and she can't be controlled, she's completely useless and too dull."
Coco decides to give it another try.
"The Eternal Night Witch!"
Coco pointed to the distance.
"Why don't we try focusing our magic attack on one spot over there?"
"..."
"Use magic!"
"..."
"Over there, concentrate your forces at one point and attack!"
"..."
The Night Witch smiled at her with an ambiguous expression, but still made no further move.
No matter how Ruokeke gestured, she remained unmoved and simply followed Ruokeke. It was as if she had been given a predetermined goal to "follow," so without new instructions, she would never disobey this command.
"never mind."
If Coco gives up on studying this dark blue witch.
In a sense, this blood-energy spirit that looks exactly like Ludwig is just as troublesome as Ludwig.
"The enemy doesn't seem to intend to attack me either... Hmph, whatever."
She placed the scythe aside, straightened her wide maid's skirt, and sat down to sit.
"Let's save our energy."
The Eternal Night Witch could undoubtedly protect Ruokeke, so Ruokeke simply focused her attention on another matter—
Utilizing his own blood energy [Void - All Things], one
Investigate the unusual conditions in the surrounding space bit by bit.
Perhaps she will be able to analyze the nature of this strange barrier and find a way to escape.
If Coco can control the strength and direction of gravity of the surrounding objects, including herself—this is the biggest reason why she can wield the bizarre weapon, the giant scythe, with its extremely unbalanced weight, with ease.
That is why her control over space is far superior to anyone else's. Even Ludwig is far inferior to Ruco in terms of "controlling space".
"As long as the Eternal Night Witch is still here, it means Lulu is still safe."
"But... I can't just sit here and wait for Lulu to come and save me; that would be a disgrace to my role as her personal maid."
"what!"
hum-
...
...
...
Not far away, a few hundred meters away.
A battle with no suspense is nearing its end.
Clang, clang—
The two sides clashed, and the sound of metal clashing was incessant.
Clang——!
The girl easily deflected the man's military knife, but instead of immediately aiming for his vitals, she gracefully flicked the blade of her rapier.
"pick it up."
she smiled.
Alexei swiftly drew a second saber from behind his back and unleashed a rapid slash.
Swish!
Having successfully forced the silver-haired girl back, he leaped forward and, while using his new military knife to pursue her, kicked up the knife on the ground, causing it to swiftly stab at the silver-haired girl.
"hehe, not bad."
She raised her sword to deflect the flying saber, and Alexei's attack was already upon her.
And for her, it seemed there was no way to avoid it.
hum-
In the blink of an eye, Ludwig's movements had changed...
Then, catching Alexei completely off guard, the weapon pierced his abdominal cavity.
He exclaimed in disbelief, "What...!"
The girl even leaned close to his ear with ease, her flirtatious words both provocative and sarcastic.
"I told you, I would make you die a tormented and humiliating death..."
"This certainly includes—completely destroying your self-confidence."
The girl kicked him to the ground and then used the sharp blade on her shoe heel to deliver several terrifying, bone-crushing slashes.
Puff puff puff——
"Uh...ah!"
Under the relentless and deadly onslaught, Alexei coughed up blood and was almost unable to speak.
...
"I've lived for over a hundred years, so it's not surprising that I know a little about the elegant swordsmanship of ancient European women, is it?"
Her eyes always glowed with a fluorescent red light, as she deliberately flaunted her power.
"My previous claim of not being good at close combat was simply because I had wasted decades of my life, and my body had become weak due to lack of exercise. Now, I can perfectly utilize this skill to deal with you without any problem."
“Even…without a second thought.”
She stepped on Alexei and gently took a blood-red syringe from his pouch.
"Wow, there are still so many pipes..."
She smiled sweetly and waved it in her hand.
Doesn't this mean you can be defeated many more times?
"It's decided then and there, 'Soviet veteran'."
"I want you to...experience firsthand the pain of Lingxi."
...
A hint of fear finally appeared in Alexei's angry eyes.
"You're weird."
"...Aaaaaahh ...
Chapter 190 Not Suitable for Children
After a while.
"I think... I can understand its structure now!"
If Coco stood up, she would look up at the transparent barrier.
"This barrier isn't something you can break through by focusing your attack on one spot... that's a method used for ordinary barriers. It's not the kind of barrier that can be broken with a concentrated attack, which is truly counterintuitive..."
Coco already has a general answer.
The essence of this barrier is to "deflect" all approaching objects to other locations without using energy to neutralize them; it simply "transfers" all incoming objects to other locations.
Therefore, its creators only need a very small amount of energy to create an extremely large and complete "cage" to trap the target inside.
That's why the solution to it immediately came to Ruo Keke's mind.
Since focusing our attacks on one point won't work, let's try the opposite approach—
"If we bombard it with the largest possible attack... we should be able to exceed its ability to 'deflect'."
"These 'evolvers' who steal blood energy can never match the upper limit of our blood energy."
The brown-haired maid raised her scythe to the side and, with all her might, unleashed a powerful, all-out strike forward.
“以身为刃...斩无不加=*$0>1&~&4*5&-9|一<零}+-<{#五|=酒/~=%4>/9$8断！”
"Drink!"
If Coco covered her scythe with her gravity-manipulating energy, she would strike the barrier directly.
Just as she expected, the barrier failed to "deflect" her again at this moment!
"It worked!"
Immediately, she stepped into the air and stomped hard, dragging the scythe across the cracked barrier at an angle parallel to the ground.
Click-clack-clack-clack—
With the sound of shattering glass, the seemingly unsolvable mirror barrier was forcibly torn apart by her.
...
"Phew... Where's Lulu? Which way is she again?"
If Coco had a sudden inspiration.
"Eternal Night Witch, return to your master!"
Without a word, the dark blue-clad mage sat on his wand and flew off in a certain direction.
Ruo Keke leaped into the air and caught up with her. It seemed that she finally understood what Ruo Keke had said.
