Evolution game, nothing more than that!

He said to Yamasaki An.

The latter nodded, stretched out his hand, and a mirror appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Three people entered one after another. When the last person walked in, the mirror shattered and turned into bits of magic debris and disappeared.

And just a few hours later, "bang", accompanied by the sound of kicking the door, a team of fully armed soldiers rushed into the castle, and then quickly searched and occupied various parts of the castle.

"The first floor is safe."

"The second floor is safe."

"The third floor is safe."

"Blood was found, but no body was found."

"There are also bloodstains on the second floor, but no bodies have been found..."

……

Reports came from the radio. The captain of the team frowned and looked at the empty hall in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

After so many years in this business, this is truly the cleanest scene he has ever seen!

There were no broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground, no bloody corpses, only some bloodstains and some traces of battle that could not be identified as to what caused them. It was really too "clean"!

But "clean" also means "abnormal."

Where have all the vampires here gone?

Is he dead?

But why is there no body?

Is the abnormal phenomenon that affected the entire city before related to this place?

If so, what exactly happened?

All kinds of questions filled the captain's mind, but the lack of information prevented him from drawing any conclusions.

The only thing that is certain is that all the vampires in Budapest have disappeared, except for the female vampire who left a few hours ago.

After another careful search and finding nothing else, he had no choice but to lead the team back and report the abnormal situation here to the boss.

After receiving the retreat order, the soldiers quickly and quietly evacuated the castle, boarded a Black Hawk transport helicopter, and flew to a distant port under the cover of night.

Ten minutes later, the helicopter landed on a cargo ship hovering outside the port.

"...This is the situation, Boss. There's no one left in the castle, and no bodies have been found. The mechanisms in the central hall are all empty. There's nothing."

In the captain's room, the captain reported the situation of the mission to a white-haired old man in front of him.

After listening to the other party's report, the old man sighed, closed his eyes, and said tiredly:

"You did a great job. Just like that, you can go down first."

"Yes."

The captain saluted and left the room.

The room fell into silence for a long time. After a long while, the old man sighed softly and said:

"Marcus, ah..."

He could feel that his son, Marcus, who was unfortunately infected by the bat curse, had left him forever.

Yes, he is the first immortal in the "Underworld" series, the common ancestor of vampires and werewolves, Alexander Corvinus, and also Michael's ancestor.

Although he had lived for more than a thousand years and had little worldly affection left, he still felt an irrepressible sadness in his heart after he learned of his son's death.

Just as the old man was feeling sad, a voice suddenly rang out in the room:

"How bizarre! I thought you'd stopped caring about your two sons after watching vampires and werewolves fight for thousands of years. I didn't expect you'd actually feel sad for them."

Hearing the sound, Alexander immediately raised his head alertly.

Then he saw three figures wearing helmets walking out of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner of the room.

It was none other than Yi Shen and the other two.

They seemed to have left the castle before, but in fact, Cheng Shang was hiding in the mirror world and waiting for the opportunity.

Sure enough, after waiting for several hours, Alexander, who noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the vampires, sent a team to investigate, and was then followed all the way by Yi Shen and his team.

"This is... magic!"

Realizing the other party's extraordinaryness, the old man was shocked but remained calm and asked:

"Who are you?"

Well, because Yi Shen and the others had only really taken action twice before, and once was in Michael's apartment and once was in the vampire's castle. Although Alexander had been using various means to monitor the activities of vampires and werewolves, he was not that powerful and had never actually seen them.

But through Yi Shen's words just now, he had more or less guessed that these three people were probably related to what happened in the castle.

"Marcus's death has something to do with you?"

"Yes."

Yi Shen nodded, with no intention of hiding anything:

"I'm not going to let this guy, who wants to release the mad werewolf ancestor to wreak havoc on the world, live now that I've seen him."

"..."

Alexander was silent for a moment.

He wanted to get angry and take revenge on the other party in the name of his father, but reason told him that what the other party did was not wrong.

After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes what kind of disaster William would cause if he went crazy and bit people everywhere. In modern times, where the population density is countless times higher than a thousand years ago, the scale of the disaster William could cause would far exceed anything he had seen in the past.

From a human perspective, there is really nothing wrong with killing Marcus who wanted to release William.

But, but...

"But I am his father after all. Are you deliberately provoking me by saying such things in front of me?"

Alexander stood up from his seat. Although he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties, his sturdy physique was stronger than that of a young man. As he spoke, a powerful aura rose up and oppressed Yi Shen and the other two.

"Provocation? No, I'm just stating the facts."

Yi Shen seemed to be completely unaware of the old man's aggressive attitude:

"If you want to avenge your son, I have no objection - do you want to give it a try?"

“…It seems I’ve really been underestimated!”

Alexander's face was gloomy and he sneered:

"Young man, do you think I'm as weak as those vampires who rely solely on blood? The past thousand years of my life have not been wasted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

clang!

The next moment, a Western long sword that had been unsheathed at some point slashed in front of Yi Shen, but was blocked by a palm.

Chapter 236: Simple Fight, Easily Conquered

"Hmm? This power... is not bad!"

Feeling the power reflected back in his palm, Yi Shen looked at the old man in front of him with some surprise in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that Alexander's sword, in terms of power and speed alone, is stronger than those extraordinary knights he met in his last mission.

And in the elemental vision, the old man in front of him did not seem to have any traces of magic or other extraordinary powers, just pure and extremely vigorous vitality.

In other words, the opponent does not rely on any supernatural power, but relies purely on his own body to reach the level of a humanoid Gundam like the Knights of the Round Table, who can move at the speed of sound and slash out wind blades and sword energy at will.

After activating the all-purpose perspective skill of the Five Visions, Yi Shen discovered that although the opponent's bones, muscles and tendons looked no different from those of ordinary humans on the outside, they were actually a completely different entity inside.

Whether it is the structure and strength of muscle fibers, the subtle supporting structure in the bone matrix, the protein configuration in the tendons, or even the stacking of epithelial cells in the skin, they are all completely different from those of ordinary people, and are many times more perfect and powerful.

"Is this what true perfect blood looks like after thousands of years of evolution?!"

Yi Shen immediately realized the origin of the other party's physical fitness.

Compared with vampires and werewolves whose evolutionary direction has been fixed, Alexander, as the first immortal, may not have the vampire's ability to transmit information through blood, nor the werewolf's fearlessness of life and death after transformation, but he retains the original perfect blood with seemingly unlimited growth potential.

It constantly adapts to the environment, transforms pathogens, and integrates their advantageous genes into its own genome, continuing to evolve.

Combined with continuous training and practice, after a thousand years, although Alexander still looks like a human, he has actually evolved into a completely different creature inside, a true "superman".

This kind of evolution, which does not rely on any supernatural energy and is purely at the biological genetic level, is a completely different path from any power system Yi Shen has seen in the past, and it opened his eyes.

Even if he hadn't gained anything else, just seeing Alexander's path would have made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Of course, despite his admiration, Yi Shen did not think that Alexander's power could pose a threat to him.

Bang!

With just one push, Yi Shen, blessed with a biological force field, easily repelled Alexander's sword.

However, Alexander was no ordinary fighter. Feeling the opponent's strength which was several times stronger than his own, he took advantage of the situation to retreat, then turned around again. The long sword in his hand turned into a phantom, and in an instant he slashed out nearly a hundred swords, and every sword hit Yi Shen's vitals!

What's even more terrifying is that such a high sword-swinging speed should have formed a strong airflow when the sword was swung, or even formed wind blade sword energy scattering in all directions. However, under Alexander's exquisite control, each of his swords was silent, and all the power was concentrated on the sword tip, not leaking out at all. Coupled with the sword speed that was so fast that ordinary people could not catch it with the naked eye, it can be said to be a "sword that is invisible and inaudible" in the literal sense.

This Alexander is actually a kendo master with superb swordsmanship skills!

But it's not surprising when you think about it. If a person concentrates on practicing one thing for decades, he can become an expert in that field, not to mention that Alexander lived for more than a thousand years. Even if he didn't specialize in swordsmanship, as long as he spent one tenth of his time on it, it would be equivalent to practicing sword for a hundred years. It is not surprising that he has such attainments in swordsmanship.

Yi Shen relied on the lightning elemental power to enhance his nervous system and accelerate his thinking, which allowed him to see Alexander's sword moves clearly and block them one by one.

Of course, he didn't just take the beating without fighting back.

After blocking for a few seconds, Yi Shen's body was surrounded by a flash of lightning, and the power of the magnetic field gathered around his body, turning into unparalleled force, and punched out.

Unlike Alexander's silent sword, Yi Shen's punch was extremely powerful.

Although it was just a punch, it seemed as if an entire piece of space was torn off along with the fist and smashed forward together.

The massive pressure from the fist even turned into a physical cage, enveloping Alexander from all directions.

——It’s not that Yi Shen’s boxing skills are really that high. The so-called boxing pressure is actually just a simulation of his own biological force field that moves at will.

But even if this punch is fake, its power is real.

Feeling the power of this punch, Alexander's face changed drastically. He swung his sword dozens of times at the same position on the side, cutting a gap in the invisible and tangible force field, and then squeezed out.

Boom!

The gathered force field slammed heavily into the empty space, crushing all the matter inside into pieces.

The punch missed, Yi Shen raised his eyebrows, and disappeared in a flash.

When he reappeared the next moment, he had already arrived in front of Alexander, and a big hand carrying the same huge pressure as before covered his head and face.

This time, because Yi Shen was too fast, Alexander had no time to dodge and could only raise his sword to block.

clang!

The collision of the palm and the sword blade made a crisp metallic sound like a loud bell. Before Alexander could use the force to retreat, Yi Shen grabbed the sword first, and then arcs of electricity flashed between his fingers. In an instant, the whole sword shattered and turned into countless metal particles that fell from between his fingers.

"!"

Alexander was shocked when he saw this, but before he could do anything, a hand was already on his shoulder, with faint lightning wrapped around the fingertips, making him dare not act rashly.

This ability to directly decompose and crush matter is useless even if he evolves his body to be as strong as steel!

And this is just one of the methods used by the other party. We don’t know how many other abilities are hidden behind it.

Knowing that he had completely failed, Alexander sighed, lowered his hands, and bowed his head in defeat:

"Okay, you win, you can do whatever you want to me!"

Seeing the other party's attitude, Yi Shen did not kill him. He just patted the old man on the shoulder and said:

"I don't intend to kill you. After all, you're the only immortal human being in the world. Killing you like that would be a shame. But since you took the initiative to attack me, it would be unreasonable not to pay a price. Well, how about this, how about giving me some of your blood? This is the real 'perfect blood', I'm really curious!"

"..."

Alexander was stunned, a little surprised:

"that's it?"

"That's it. Well, what else do you want?"

Yi Shen looked at him strangely.
