Lilith: The Darkhold

Lilith was prepared for Bayonetta's attack.

She had witnessed Bayonetta's dance-like attack style, especially the way she could hide a pistol in the heel of her high heels; she wondered how she pulled the trigger.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The instant Bayonetta fired, Lilith reached out and caught the bullet.

The bullet pierced her palm, but healed instantly.

What made Bayonetta frown was that the ultraviolet bullets, which were very effective against ordinary vampires, could not harm Lilith.

If an ordinary vampire were hit like that, their body would start to 'spontaneously combust'.

Lilith, however, recovered instantly.

"I told you, those weaknesses don't work on me."

Lilith chuckled softly.

As Bayonetta and Jeanne of Arc continued their attack, her body transformed into countless bats, which then flapped their wings and flew away into the distance before returning to normal.

"You're not the only ones who can transform, darling."

"Lilith said haughtily."

Bayonetta and Jeanne's transformations caught her eye; she almost mistook them for the Blood Clan.

However, I couldn't sense any sense of kinship from them.

Bayonetta and Jeanne stopped pursuing them.

"You're very powerful, why are you still looking for us?"

Bayonetta asked.

Lilith didn't continue her attack; she simply wanted to test their strength.

So far, she is satisfied.

These two women are very strong, and they don't seem to be human.

So Lilith didn't hide anything. "Because I can't kill him."

"Oh?"

Bayonetta was puzzled.

Lilith then said, "I was born in Dracula Castle. My 'father' was a bastard who kicked my mother and me out of the house and drove my mother to suicide."

"I was raised by a Gypsy woman named Gretchen, and then Dracula attacked the Gypsy village and killed Gretchen's son."

"Then what?"

Jeanne couldn't help but ask.

She and Bayonetta exchanged a glance; this woman named Lilith was just as miserable as they were.

However, their entire witch clan was wiped out.

Lilith said with a hint of reminiscence, "Then, Gretchen used magic to turn me into a vampire, and my mission became to hunt down Dracula, an endless pursuit."

It is precisely because of Gretchen's magic that Lilith does not possess those weaknesses.

She is a higher-ranking vampire.

"Just recently, Dracula fell into a weakened state, and I defeated him with all my might."

Lilith then said, "Just when I wanted to kill him, I realized I couldn't."

She was in great pain. "As Blood Clan, I am utterly incapable of killing the progenitor of the Blood Clan; this is the suppression of my bloodline."

"Gretchen miscalculated. She had no idea how severe the bloodline suppression of the Blood Clan was, and she didn't know that I could never kill Dracula; only someone who wasn't Blood Clan could kill him."

Bayonetta and Jeanne understood her despair.

After chasing him for so long, they finally waited for an opportunity when Dracula was weak, intending to kill him.

Ultimately, she discovered that even with all her might, she was unable to kill Dracula.

The despair is unimaginable.

After all, this was her obsession for hundreds or even thousands of years, only to find it was all in vain in the end...

This left Jeanne feeling somewhat suffocated.

"What a... pity."

Jeanne didn't know what to say.

This feeling was like Bayonetta and her friends finally managing to fight their way to the Supreme God, only to find that they couldn't kill him no matter what they did.

Moreover, this is due to rule restrictions, not a lack of ability.

This was something neither Lilith nor the Gypsy woman had anticipated.

They only wanted Lilith to have vampire powers, and even removed her weaknesses, but they didn't expect that once she became a vampire, Lilith would never be able to kill Dracula again.

For Lilith, this gave her a feeling of losing her purpose in life.

After all, she had hated Dracula since she was a child, and her ultimate goal as an adult was to hunt Dracula down.

But now it's all for nothing.

Bayonetta sighed, "So you came to find us?"

Lilith's reddened eyes welled with tears as she nodded, saying, "That's right, you also hunt Blood Clan, so you must harbor hatred towards the Blood Clan. I need outsiders to help me."

Jeanne frowned and said, "So you want to turn us into vampires?"

"Hehe, that was just a test."

Lilith laughed.

If they are only after the benefits of becoming Blood Clan, then they are not the right people for it.

She had seen far too many people like this; once they were turned into vampires, they would immediately submit to Dracula, the progenitor of vampires.

Bayonetta and Jeanne exchanged a glance.

They both noticed the interest in each other's eyes.

They were audacious witches; what wouldn't they dare to do?

Bayonetta couldn't resist taking out a lollipop and eating it, licking it skillfully all over, before saying, "Interesting. We can help you kill Dracula."

"But that's on the condition that you bring him to Los Angeles."

Los Angeles is their home turf, and they've already explored most of the Los Angeles during this time, so they're relatively familiar with it.

That was Bayonetta's request.

"No problem."

Lilith smiled, but her smile was eerie, revealing two sharp fangs.

Compared to human canines, Lilith's fangs are longer and sharper, appearing pointed.

No one doubts its power.

"In that case, let's have a pleasant collaboration."

Lilith walked over and shook hands with the two of them.

Bayonetta and Jeanne also put their guns away.

Then Bayonetta asked curiously, "Since even you aren't afraid of sunlight, Dracula probably isn't either, right?"

"That's right, he's also immune to these attacks, including silverware and crosses; they can't kill him."

Lilith nodded.

"How do we kill him?"

Jeanne Arc immediately asked.

There are only two ways.

Lilith said in a deep voice, "Legend has it that there is a magic book in the world called the 'Darkhold,' which records a powerful Black Magic called the Montesi Formula. If you use it, you can wipe out all the vampires on Earth at once."

Bayonetta and Jeanne glanced at Lilith, surprised that she would reveal such information.

It's important to know that Lilith is also a vampire.

If someone actually triggers this Black Magic called the Montesi Formula, Lilith will also be destroyed.

But she said it without any hesitation.

Clearly, she would rather die with Dracula than be destroyed herself.

If they can all be eliminated together, then her lifelong wish will be fulfilled.

Bayonetta and Jeanne sensed her determination.

However, Bayonetta clearly didn't know about the Darkhold, so she could only ask, "Anything else?"

"The closer he is to the sun, the faster he will die; he cannot truly be immune to the damage caused by sunlight."

Lilith thought for a moment and then said.
