It seems that the three demons are still waiting for their comrades to return from the place where the princess died.
Previously, the black-haired woman holding the princess's body was the first to rush towards the princess, who was protected by the barrier, and then the princess's barrier was removed.
Judging from her current expression of utter despair, Alexei could deduce that she was indeed someone closely associated with the Princess.
Beside them were two silver-haired girls, one older and one younger. The younger one was crying on the princess's body, while the older one stood quietly to the side, her back to his sniper scope, as if she was thinking about something.
He didn't know which of the two monsters was the queen's successor, but he didn't care about that right now.
Because none of the three seemed to have any fighting spirit, and the two silver-haired vampires looked frail and didn't appear to be combatants.
Shooting them would undoubtedly be much easier than if the knight and maid were present.
"Die."
He aimed at the silver-haired girl's head and pulled the trigger.
...
In that instant, the silver-haired girl turned her head to look behind her—
He looked in Alexei's direction.
Her gaze was fixed on this direction.
"...What?!"
She parted her lips slightly, and Alexei could read her lips.
She seemed to be saying:
"Waiting for you for a long time."
In the blink of an eye, the silver-haired girl in the sniper scope had vanished without a trace.
hum-
The next instant, Alexei's sniper scope was filled with a dark blue light.
He put down his sniper rifle and looked up. Dozens of meters away from the treetops, a blue "ghost" appeared floating in the air.
She was dressed in a witch's robe that would only appear in medieval fantasy stories, with a witch's hat on her head, and sat on her long magic wand like a broom, floating gracefully and quietly in the sky.
The dark blue witch raised her head and smiled.
Her appearance was exactly like that of the silver-haired girl hundreds of meters away.
Do you like launching surprise attacks from afar?
She "jumped off" from her wand while floating in the sky, but she remained floating in the air, only now she was using the wand she used for riding in a different way, holding it in her hand.
"What a coincidence, my bloodline happens to be..."
"A mage who excels in ranged combat."
...
Swah——
Bang bang bang bang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Alexei drew his rapid-fire pistol from his waist and emptied an entire magazine at the witch before him.
The bullets passed right through her body, and she floated there gracefully, showing no signs of injury.
"increase!"
Alexei raised his hand and clenched it, instantly freezing the trails of the bullets he fired—but the dark blue witch was completely unaffected!
She easily passed through the "ropes" that only he could see, and with a wave of her wand, lit up several azure points of light in the snowy night.
"This form is named [Moon Shadow Witch]. Use your body to firmly remember this form of mine—"
The witch snorted coldly.
"The Spell of the Stars: Meteor Shower—"
"Gathering here, fall!"
Like shooting stars, blue specks of light streaked toward the narrow canopy.
...
Alexei had already realized—
He's likely to suffer a huge loss.
Chapter 123 Veterans will not die
Boo hoo hoo hoo——
The starlight-like deep blue light bullets gathered and flew towards the treetop, blocking almost all of Alexei's escape routes from all directions.
"Tsk."
He thought to himself:
"remove."
He quickly eliminated all friction and slid down from the treetop at an extremely fast speed.
Boom boom boom boom——
The light projectiles intertwined and exploded in the tree canopy, turning the upper half of the entire frozen tree into dust.
"Contrary to its cool, luminous appearance, this thing seems to resemble some kind of intense fire magic?"
Alexei analyzed.
The dark blue Moon Shadow Witch swiftly appeared in front of Alexei.
【Spell of the Stars - Full Moon Curve】
A crescent-shaped beam of light emanated from the tip of the witch's wand, quickly transforming into a ring of light blades that circled around Alexei.
然后，急剧收缩加>1*{0$~1-=7%&4+5{-9*一@零}$+-<五~酒/~~#~=4*%9/#。
*Snap!*
Alexei reacted swiftly and dived back underground, but a small piece of cloth was still cut off his hood, leaving it unable to safely conceal his face.
"Tsk...this vampire is not to be underestimated."
...
Miss Ludwig didn't want to get involved in this mess.
She was simply caught up in a series of events, and eventually had no choice but to embark on the journey to meet the vampire queen.
But even the most self-centered person like her can understand and weigh the pros and cons of the situation:
If she doesn't do something soon, she, as a vampire, will soon face annihilation along with the other vampires.
She still understands the simple truth that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
"I only agreed to one deal after another because I wanted to know about my origins..."
"But it's a real shame... I am, after all, a vampire. It's obviously impossible for me to just stand by and watch you push the entire vampire clan into the abyss."
The Moon Shadow Witch raised her head and coldly glanced at the sniper in camouflage who had just crawled out from underground.
"I am a mediator, a special profession among vampires dedicated to resolving difficulties and conflicts among my fellow vampires."
"With the client's death, according to the General Laws of Vampire Mediators, my engagement with her should be automatically terminated..."
"But what if the client dies as a result of a premeditated murder—"
She glared at him angrily.
"Mediators also have the right to seek compensation from the perpetrator for the losses suffered by the client."
An unquenchable fire of anger had ignited in the girl's heart.
She hates trouble, but she's not afraid of it.
She had given up on finding out her origins and on taking a serious approach to the world and her own life.
She wanted to live a carefree, decadent life without having to think, and she wanted to be able to put down the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart after learning about her background.
But one event after another forced her to come here, and forced her to make a crucial decision:
If she backs down again here, it is highly likely that...
She will forever miss out on the life she desires and the truth about her origins.
She seemed to have been forced onto the path to becoming queen.
"Do you want me to become a queen who can turn the tide...?"
"Hmph, don't treat me like a cowardly vase who dares not do anything."
An unprecedented arrogance appeared on the Moon Shadow Witch's face.
“I am Ludwig, the vampire princess who will become queen. Try to stop us if you dare.”
...
"Enough with the nonsense, woman. Since you've so proudly revealed your identity as the heir to the vampire throne, then I have no need to hide anything from you. I'll let you die knowing why."
He quickly pulled out a large-caliber, rugged-looking pistol and fired a shot at the Moon Shadow Witch.
boom!
The bullet still pierced her body, but this time it suddenly caused her translucent spirit to shake violently.
"Um...?!"
The Moon Shadow Witch was shocked and quickly retreated more than ten meters away.
She looked warily at her abdomen, which slowly healed afterward, but she could still feel the loss of magic power from the spirit body.
These strange bullets could undoubtedly harm the Moon Shadow Witch's spirit!
"This is one of the countless secrets buried with my motherland, an engineering achievement that has yet to be made public..."
"Although it was never deployed to our troops until my motherland turned to dust in history, we internally gave it a fitting name—"
"Blood-suppressing bullet".
The man before him suddenly straightened his back, for what he was about to recount was an experience and identity that he could be proud of for the rest of his life:
"Alexei Petrenko, a soldier in the first detachment of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic Demon Hunter Corps."
Alexei would much rather reveal his former identity to the monsters he has killed than to his current role as a hired hunter, [Artillery], continuing to hunt monsters to the death.
This is his persistence.
Even though this demon-hunting force that protected humanity in the shadows has vanished along with its homeland, Alexei still proudly proclaims its name to the monsters.
because...
"We once struck fear into the hearts of all the demons lurking in our great motherland!"
Bang bang bang bang!
With the power of blood energy, he was able to fire continuously with the large-caliber pistol effortlessly. A dense barrage of bullets rained down on the Moon Shadow Witch, who frowned and raised her wand.
Now that she knows this ammunition can counter blood energy, she will never try to take it head-on with her spirit body again.
"Spell of the Stars - Shield!"
All the bullets struck the magical shield she had created. As expected, the shield quickly shattered under the bombardment, though one or two bullets still managed to pass through her spirit body.
"Ah ah!"
...
Although she no longer feels pain, the sensation of that power being "drained" still gives her a strong sense of crisis.
"Ugh... I don't know what kind of damage this body will cause to my flesh if this body dissipates."
She stabilized her spirit and gave a cold snort.
Since even the shield was powerless, she would no longer consider taking the bullets head-on.
...
At that moment, Alexei seemed to see through her expression and gave her a cold laugh.
