"Excuse my bluntness, but you must be feeling a bit tired and sleepy by now, right?"
It must be said that Alex's calculation was indeed correct.
Ella did feel her eyelids getting heavy, and the reality in her eyes began to become hazy, like an illusion.
Just like the situation when Greta used her divine power in Hope Town, the incarnation of an alien god who has been completely rejected by the divine kingdom will not perish, but will eventually be driven out of this world as an alien object.
If it were Ella, she would probably be thrown back into the real world in the end, but then she would no longer be able to influence what happens in Fog City.
Chapter 175 Two-pronged Surprise Attack
"This should be a magic array from the Vampire Clan's sacred ground, right? How are you able to activate it?"
However, despite being trapped like a bird in a cage, Ella did not show any signs of anxiety, but instead asked calmly.
From her observation, those blood-red incantations, including the barrier formed by these pages as a medium, should all be part of the formations inherent to this vampire holy land. How could they have been manipulated by Alex, an outsider?
"Your observations are very meticulous, Your Majesty."
Alex clutched his chest with one hand and pulled a small red bottle from his pocket with the other, gulping it down.
"As a human, I naturally do not have the authority to manipulate the magic array of the vampire holy land, but it is not surprising that someone who can become the Queen's consort would possess this ability."
"Greetings, Your Excellency, the revered deity."
As Alex finished speaking, an aged voice appeared above Ella's head.
Ella's crimson pupils shifted slightly upwards, and she saw an old man in a black robe with white hair and beard gradually appearing in the wall high above.
This is a strange ability similar to the Ripper we encountered before, where one can blend into walls. Since this old man can use a similar ability, he must be a member of the Samuel Order.
"The remnants of the Secret Order, I thought you had already wiped them out long ago."
“You have really misunderstood me. My cooperation with the Samuel Order has always been based on an equal footing.”
After drinking the blood-replenishing medicine for a while, Alex's pale face finally eased. "My God, let me introduce you. This is the bishop of the Samuel Order's branch in the Mist City. He was able to activate this magic circle to bind you by using the remains of the Queen's remnants made from her organs."
"This Blood Realm Cage in the library is an ancient magic array personally set up by Queen Isadora. It should be able to temporarily trap you who are being rejected by the divine kingdom."
"Tsk."
Ella continued to try to exert a little more force, or to use her life magic through her mind, but all her divine power seemed to be frozen, and she could no longer use it at all.
"My Lord, please don't exert yourself any longer. Let's rest here for a while."
Alex pushed up his glasses with his index finger. "Being suppressed by the divine kingdom, you can't possibly resist the most basic laws. That's the law."
“We have prepared for this day in great detail. We have a department of divination mages who can glimpse the inevitability of the Queen’s resurrection through the threads of fate.”
"You have done enough, but the time of moonrise is coming."
"This time, it will be our victory."
"boom"
Before Alex could finish speaking calmly, he suddenly felt the hall tremble violently.
What happened?
“Mr. Alex, the barrier around the rooftop altar has been breached.”
On the high wall, the bishop who was sitting suspended in mid-air maintaining the bondage of Ella, the Blood Prisoner, suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly spoke.
"How is that possible? The players downstairs haven't even climbed up yet. We're all guarding this floor. Who else could possibly go up?"
Alex's eyes widened in shock. He always liked to plan everything out, and although he had been outmaneuvered by that incomprehensible madman Ripper before, there was no reason for him to make a mistake again, was there?
Even the Holy Maiden of Light was stopped by him, so who else can go up?
Alex seemed to suddenly realize something, and turned to look at Ella, who was trapped in the Blood Realm Cage. Although she was bound by chains, the cunning and wicked smile on her face said it all.
"Oh dear, that's the bad thing about me. Whenever I'm up to no good, I can't help but show it on my face."
Ella was a little annoyed. When would she ever change that villainous little face? What was she doing, always making that expression when she was supposed to be a saint?
However, at least we bought ourselves some time.
Knowing that Alex was stalling for time, Ella was doing the same.
The fact that the other party dared to ambush her meant they must have been prepared. Ella's plan was certainly not to rely on her own strength to simply overcome all obstacles.
A head-on clash between two aces is something only seen in action-packed battle comics. In reality, stealing the enemy's base is the ultimate goal of all tactics.
Without another word, Alex abandoned Ella and charged toward the silver-white giant pillar in the center of the tower.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because he was truly panicked this time.
……
Meanwhile, atop the tower...
Under the blood-red moonlight, a pink-haired girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit fluttered her small black wings, lifting a thin man in a trench coat through a crack in a semi-transparent glass dome, and landed at the top of the tower.
This was naturally Greta and Ye Xiao, who had returned to human form. Ever since Ella used her scepter to break the outer barrier when she entered the tower, the high sky was no longer blocked.
Others might be affected by the Blood Moon and Red Mist without the protection of the Holy Light, and even if they knew they could climb the tower from the outside, they wouldn't dare to try. But Greta and Ye Xiao were completely unafraid.
However, a powerful barrier was still set up at the top of the tower, and it took Greta a lot of time to break through it.
If the other side has arranged for people to guard against it, even if Ella were to join them, it wouldn't be so easy to break in from the sky.
Unfortunately, they all rushed to the tower to guard Ella, giving Greta ample time to break the barrier.
The knowledge of the Primordial Demon God was no less than that of Empress Isadora. Although the God of Light and the passage of time had worn away some of her edges, her old tricks were still very effective.
"Hey, Paratrooper One is ready... I did expect it, but it's still quite surprising to see it so wide open."
Ye Xiao walked on the empty altar. The elders of the Fog City vampire clan were still bound and unconscious to the side. On the altar, a blonde girl with a blank stare sat next to another black-haired girl with her eyes closed. The former was probably Evelina, while the latter was someone Ella had seen in the palace. She was the queen's adopted daughter, Elina.
There was also a werewolf lying next to him, barely alive. Ye Xiao thought that he probably hadn't seen this one before, but it looked like it was still breathing and wouldn't die anytime soon.
After quickly scanning the scene, Ye Xiao lifted his foot to walk towards Evelina, but was suddenly grabbed by Greta's soft little hand. "Idiot, are you going to your death if you go straight there!"
"That guy already has a remnant of Isadora's soul attached to him; anyone who gets close will be attacked!"
"Then what should we do? How can we remove the Blood Crown Heart without getting close?"
Ye Xiao asked in surprise.
"Can't you use ranged attacks? Just use my Hellfire to burn them to ashes."
Greta gave him a look that said, "You're an idiot."
"Um... those two girls will die, won't they?"
Ye Xiao scratched his head.
"Ugh, why do I have to care about this kind of thing at a time like this!"
Greta pouted, "The moonrise is almost here. That princess probably has Isadora's direct bloodline. It would be terrible if they merged and actually summoned the Queen."
"It's alright, Miss. I believe in your abilities."
Ye Xiao smiled and stretched her arms. "I'll try to see if I can take it off directly first."
"Ugh, this is so annoying. If you die, I'm going to take your soul back to hell."
"Don't say such scary things."
Ye Xiao shrugged, then released the little maid's hand, took a deep breath, and with his left hand holding the staff, he half-squatted towards the altar as if taking a running start.
He has two lives; if all else fails, then he can consider sacrificing the two girls.
Ye Xiao made up his mind and softly chanted the incantation. The next moment, his hands suddenly swelled into the shape of wolf claws. Then, with the help of divine magic, he pushed off the ground with his thighs and his figure flashed like an arrow released from a bow, rushing straight towards the altar.
Almost the instant he approached the altar, a cold glint flashed in Evelina's empty, dull eyes.
Spikes formed from congealed blood spread across the earth, transforming into a thicket of thorns that instantly engulfed Ye Xiao's figure.
Greta, who was watching from a distance, narrowed her large, watery eyes slightly, nervously clenching her fists.
Ye Xiao always liked to do these thankless tasks, even at the risk of his safety.
But what could she do? She had fallen for this idiot.
Just as the blood-red spikes covering the earth rose into the sky, Ye Xiao's slender, dark figure suddenly rushed out from among them. In the instant he approached Evelyna, he swiftly ripped the scarlet necklace from her snow-white neck.
Chapter 176 The Chosen One and the Swordsman
Ye Xiao gripped the necklace tightly and rolled away from the churning sea of blood.
At that very moment, the blonde girl Evelyna seemed to have all her strength drained away in an instant, her body no longer able to support her, and she collapsed to the ground at an angle.
The blood gushing on the ground receded like a tide. Ye Xiao stood up and looked in surprise at the necklace in her hand adorned with a deep red gemstone.
Succeeded?
So simple?
It wasn't that Ye Xiao liked suffering, but he was also a little incredulous.
"Damn it, what have you done?!"
A loud roar came from the spiral staircase at the edge; it was Alex, who had caught up from the library.
"It's nothing, I just stole a few things from you."
Ye Xiao stuffed the blood-red necklace back into his coat pocket, shrugged, and walked over to Gladys. "Mr. Alex, right? I'm sorry to tell you that your little project is finished, and so are you."
"Just you?"
Alex's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, flashed with a fierce light. He then raised his hand, and a dazzling bolt of lightning swept across most of the rooftop, hurtling towards Ye Xiao.
Knowing this attack method well, Ye Xiao dodged the moment he saw Alex raise his arm, and Greta skillfully transformed back into the golden kitten and darted into Ye Xiao's collar.
However, Ye Xiao did not possess the agile mobility of Ella, who utilized her tentacles on her back. The lightning strike had a wide range, so Ye Xiao could only watch helplessly as Ella fell to the ground and rolled around.
Alex was somewhat surprised when a bolt of lightning struck and missed its target.
He was probably meeting this man for the first time, yet the man seemed unusually familiar with his moves.
But that's all. As the Thunder Saint, Alex might hesitate when facing a god like the Saintess, but he would never fear an ordinary human.
He summoned lightning again, only to see the guy take off running towards the tower.
That bastard tried to run away!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Alex hurriedly threw out a bolt of lightning, but this hasty strike naturally failed to hit Ye Xiao, who gracefully dodged away.
After dodging another attack, Ye Xiao, who had already reached the edge of the tower, clutched his chest and prepared to jump out of the tower with the cat lying on it.
Now that he had obtained the Blood Crown Heart, Ye Xiao wasn't stupid. He wouldn't carry the key item with him and fight head-on with others. Instead, he planned to run as far away as possible.
The vampire queen cannot be resurrected after the moonrise, and this guy can't trap Ella forever. We can deal with him when Ella comes out.
However, the next second, crimson vampire runes lit up from the floor beneath Ye Xiao's feet, and a semi-transparent barrier suddenly rose up, releasing a powerful force that bounced his body back.
"Fuck!"
The sudden force field rebounded onto Ye Xiao, causing him to roll awkwardly on the ground.
This unexpected event caused Ye Xiao to lose sight of Alex out of the corner of his eye, but he knew without a doubt that the other party would take the opportunity to launch an attack.
So after Ye Xiao rolled around once, he didn't get up immediately. Instead, he immediately lunged to the ground to the side. The movement was smooth and seamless. And as expected, another bolt of lightning struck the spot where he had been a second before.
Damn it, how come the outer barrier on the top of the tower has been restored again?
Ye Xiao then propped himself up and glanced at the altar, only to be surprised to find that the magic array on it was once again swirling and glowing red.
What's going on? Why is the magic circle of the resurrection altar still running even after the Blood Crown Heart has been removed, and it has even repaired the damaged barrier?
Ye Xiaochu thought it was because of the two girls, but after taking a look, she found that it was not the case. The two girls were just lying there with their eyes closed, and there was no sign of magic power flowing through their bodies.
This enormous revival array is as if it has come to life, and it is operating on its own.
"Hand over the Heart of the Blood Crown!"
Beside him, Alex, who had been chasing after him, spoke with a murderous tone.
Well, then it's probably this guy's doing. It seems like this battle is unavoidable.
Ye Xiao had no choice but to turn around, raise an eyebrow at Alex, and say, "If you want it, come and get it yourself."
