Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 229 United Front
boom!
With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the tall and burly saber-toothed tiger fell heavily to the ground with a painful wail, his chest stopped moving, and he could no longer get up. The bright red blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, staining the ground like a bright rose.

The young man with dazzling blond hair watched all this happen and did not react for a long time until he heard the trembling, somewhat frightened voice of his subordinates.

"Master Arsen, I...what should we do?"

Arsen's mind went blank, leaving only fear.

He thought everything would go extremely smoothly, and he even arrived at the door quietly.

But at this moment, a wild dog with a blood-red body and a skinny body as if it had been skinned suddenly jumped out from the shadows. Before anyone could react, it bit the saber-toothed tiger's neck and tore off its entire head!
The reason why they dared to resist the vampire who killed the three previous guardians, besides because the other party was alone and a woman, the biggest reason was that they relied on the saber-toothed tiger.

It was a supernatural creature tamed by the three former guardians, and it was far more powerful than these blood servants!
As long as the saber-toothed tiger can hold the vampire back for a while, the rest of the people can rush forward and chop it into meat paste.

But with the death of saber-toothed tiger, all of this has come to nothing.

What awaits them will be a massacre.

The skinny scarlet wild dog hunched its back, bright red blood slowly dripping from its smelly mouth, and the bloody smell of the saber-toothed tiger's corpse gradually spread.

The blood with active spirits was also very attractive to these blood servants. Under normal circumstances, they would have greedily rushed to suck it dry. But now, when they smelled the delicious smell of blood, they only felt fear, an unprecedented fear.

The scarlet wild dog's scarlet eyes were filled with ruthless violence, staring at the crowd on the other side of the corridor. Even though only its soul was left, it was still deeply affected by the scarlet corruption and even underwent some degree of mutation.

This mutation made it extremely thirsty for blood and killing.

It's a pity that it has never had the opportunity to enjoy itself, which makes it extremely depressed.

But now a feast is delivered to its doorstep, making it tremble with excitement!

Roar!
The scarlet wild dog growled softly, stood up, and rushed forward.

Arsen's expression changed, and he almost subconsciously tried to catch the movements of the Scarlet Wild Dog. But at the moment when the other party rushed forward, he suddenly lost the figure of the Scarlet Wild Dog in his sight.

Where did it go?
Arsen's pupils shrank sharply. The corridor was so fast, the other party couldn't have disappeared suddenly...

Before his mind could react, a scream suddenly came from his ears.

He turned his head subconsciously, and a shadow occupied his sight.

puff!
The head of the man beside him was gone, and blood sprayed directly onto his face, almost blocking his vision. The stench of blood almost made him vomit, and it only fueled his fear.

He still hasn't figured out why it turned out like this...

Meanwhile, the scarlet wild dog was already enjoying its feast.

It could have killed everyone outright, but it kept moving through the crowd, biting off a head every time it appeared, causing blood to spurt like a fountain on other people, making the corridor even redder and further fueling the spread of panic.

They had long lost their initial high spirits and did not even have the thought of resisting.

Until this moment, Arsen's mind suddenly flashed with his subordinates' questions:
What should they do?
"run……"

Arsen didn't answer, but the answer was already flashing in his mind.

He instinctively moved his feet, wanting to sneak away while others were watching—

There is a hidden passage at the back of the corridor. As long as we can get there...

Arsen's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. He suddenly felt his vision blurry, and then the world spun around. He saw a headless corpse with blood spurting out two meters high. He had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...

Inside the room, hearing screams from outside, Yu Jin looked at the blood moon outside the window, which was still crimson.

The blood servants of the vampire race are essentially a kind of "descendants", and they are also endowed with some extraordinary characteristics. This also causes the blood servants' physique to be far superior to that of ordinary people, or even extraordinary people.

After all, for paths such as spectators, apprentices, and fortune tellers, the bonus to physical fitness from Sequence 9 is almost zero. Even their Beyonder abilities cannot be used directly in actual combat, so blood servants who are not Beyonders can have an absolute advantage over Beyonders of Sequence 9 in these paths.

It’s not just Sequence 9. Apprentices and Spectators up to Sequence 6 will all be suppressed by Blood Servant in terms of physique. After all, at low sequences, the bonus of their Beyonder Abilities in combat is completely negligible.

With more than twenty blood servants, plus a saber-toothed tiger that can rival Sequence 8, there is indeed hope that they can kill most of the Sequence 7 Beyonders through sneak attacks, including the vampires of the 'Pharmacist' path.

However, even if we only talk about sequence, both he and Lilith are at Sequence 6.

These people had no chance of winning from the very beginning, but they were completely unaware of it.

Because they lack information in this area, they have no way of clearly understanding the difference in strength between the two sides, and they can only be overconfident.

Of course, not to mention them, even those extraordinary creatures close to the true gods also lacked knowledge in this area. After all, before the blasphemous stone tablet was born, this knowledge was blank for any race.

Compared to people of this era, Embers is almost equivalent to a 'prophet' in a sense.

Even though he was not familiar with most of the potion formulas and promotion rituals corresponding to Sequence 5 and above, with the power of the First Fire, this gap in knowledge could be completely ignored.

People who have more information can have an absolute advantage in many things.

But Yu Jin was thinking about another question——

Compared to other people of this era, he does have more information.

But what if it is in other aspects?

Yu Jin frowned slightly. Even until now, his memory was still incomplete. Although he had recovered some of his past memories, there was still a lot of key information missing. He was the one who should have passed on the fire, but even Kalula knew more information than him.

Although the appearance of Carla could fill this gap to a certain extent, he and Carla were separated again due to an accident not long after they met.

If he is at a disadvantage in this regard, then who is the one who has the advantage?

Yu Jin looked up at the crimson moon hanging high in the sky. In the sky not far away, two black dots slowly emerged under the crimson light and were getting closer and closer.

Finally, two petite figures appeared in Yu Jin's sight. They were Lilith and Ornia.

It was obvious that Ornia, who was flying alone for the first time, was still finding it difficult to adapt, and Lilith, who was standing by, had no intention of helping. She just smiled and watched Ornia fly up and down, crookedly, towards the castle.

"solved."

Lilith landed lightly on the windowsill, looking proud as if seeking credit, but soon she frowned and looked towards the door, where there was a strong smell of blood.

This didn't surprise her. After all, since she hadn't found any traces of the blood servants in the Ash family, it meant that they would most likely come to the castle for a 'night raid'. But with the strength of the blood servants, even the newly born Ornia might not be able to defeat them, and it was even more impossible to deal with Yu Jin.

This is completely the arrogance of a mortal, thinking that he can defeat a powerful transcendent with a sneak attack. So even if she and Ornia are not there, Lilith is not worried at all, because she knows how terrifying the strength of the ember is!
But the problem was that the moment she looked towards the door, she suddenly felt a sense of danger in her heart, as if she was being stared at by some ferocious beast, which made her shudder.

She didn't know why she had this feeling, nor did she know that this was called a spiritual warning in later generations, but she never doubted her intuition. Because the last time she had a similar feeling was when she was hunted by a dragon. And that time, even Sister Dorothy died!
Lilith's body tensed up and she looked towards the door nervously.

She didn't understand why they gave her such a dangerous feeling when they were just a group of blood servants.

Could it be that those blood servants have any other tricks up their sleeve?
No, it's impossible.

If that was the case, their actions would not have been so smooth, the three stragglers would not have been killed so easily by her, and the blood servants would not have suffered heavy casualties! Unless, the dangerous aura that made her feel did not come from those blood servants, but if it did not come from those blood servants, then it could only be from...

Lilith subconsciously looked at the embers.

"Any questions?"

Ember felt the girl's gaze and asked in confusion.

Lilith pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"There's something dangerous outside the door..."

"powerful?"

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned and focused, but found nothing.

If Lilith could find out, there was no reason why he couldn't.

So, who is this powerful being she is referring to?

The blood servants in the corridor have been killed, and the only ones left are...

Corruption stray dog.

A hint of understanding flashed in Yu Jin's eyes. The wild dog that was inhabited by the scarlet corruption was indeed a threat to Lilith, who was only Sequence 6.

"Don't worry about it. Do you have any other questions?" Yu Jin waved his hand and asked casually.

"really."

Lilith's mood suddenly became complicated. Yu Jin's words confirmed her guess in disguise. But while she felt relieved, she also felt complicated.

Fortunately, we don't have to face such a powerful enemy.

The complexity was that such a powerful being was actually Yu Jin's subordinate. This made her feel a little lost for no reason, and she suddenly felt that she was not that important to Yu Jin - just like a poor homeless puppy who was rescued by chance, she was completely dispensable to Yu Jin.

This made Lilith feel deeply unwilling, and she didn't want to admit that she was so insignificant...

Ornia tilted her head and looked at Lilith with some confusion, not understanding why she suddenly became so depressed.

Lilith seemed to sense Ornia's gaze as well, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Ornia. Looking at the girl's long, shiny silver hair, she suddenly had a bold idea:

Maybe it's not very important if she's the only one, but if there are two of them, it can at least add some weight, right?

Lilith's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that Ornia looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Do you crave power?"

The jealous witch looked at the blonde noble girl opposite her, and her voice seemed to be extremely tempting as if it carried some kind of magic.

Audrey looked at Carla in confusion and asked doubtfully:
"Why do you ask?"

"literal meaning."

Carla smiled and said, "I can give you strength, as long as you nod."

Audrey was silent for a long time, then asked softly:

"So, what's the price?"

Emperor Roselle once said that there is no free lunch in the world.

She didn’t believe that Carula would help her for no reason, especially since she was a demigod who was about to be promoted to Sequence 2.

"There is no price."

Carla did not hide anything and said frankly, "It's just that I suddenly wanted to help you."

Audrey looked a little strange. She didn't believe that Carla would be so kind, but she couldn't completely rule out this possibility. After all, with Carla's personality, she might really do such a thing...

She doesn't need any benefits, she just does it simply because she wants to.

Of course, the personality she displayed could be a disguise, but Audrey couldn't tell the truth from the false, so she could only make inferences based on the personality she knew.

"How to do?"

Audrey asked hesitantly.

She didn't actually need Carla's help, but that didn't stop her from asking.

"It's very simple..."

Kalula stretched out her white palm, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Borrow the power of fire."

Audrey was slightly startled, and was about to ask what the "power of fire" was, when a cluster of flames rose from Carla's palm the next moment.

The flame was so warm and bright, attracting everyone's attention...

Audrey couldn't look away and murmured in a low voice:

"what is this?"

"First Fire."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Carla's eyes, and she whispered, "To be precise, it should be a part of the First Fire. In the distant past, this power had another name:"

"King's Soul."

"King's soul?"

Audrey murmured in a low voice, and inexplicably had a familiar feeling, blurting out:
"Passing fire?"

"Correct."

Carla nodded slightly, and said in a complicated tone: "It seems that he has told you a lot of things. For a long time, the holder of the King's Soul has been his hunting target. Putting the King's Soul separated from the First Flame back into the First Flame is the truth of the Fire Transmission."

Audrey frowned slightly, feeling that this seemed a little contradictory.

If Ember's goal is to hunt down the holder of the King Soul, then isn't Kalula also Ember's target?

If that's the case, shouldn't she and Ember be enemies?
