Don't Vampires Deserve Some Respect?
As a coastal city in the magical era, Eastsea City is far less clean than inland cities.
Because most of the local Commoners make a living by fishing or farming, fishing boats come and go throughout the city at all times.
After William and his six companions entered the city, they found the streets filled with filthy puddles, rotting fish everywhere, and a stench in the air that was unbearable for the newcomers.
Although most of the city's roads are paved with bluestone, the cleaning work is far from adequate, and you often step on dirty filth as you walk by.
This is a city built by the sea, with many ports along its coastline, and a continuous, majestic city wall extending inland.
But the city walls were far from the last line of defense.
The construction of Eastsea City proceeded from the inside out, continuously expanding outwards.
At the very center is a cliff hundreds of meters high overlooking the sea, and the magnificent castle atop it is the true heart of the place.
Subsequently, the lower the elevation, the worse the environment.
If the low-lying areas on both sides of the cliff were Commoners, then the castles were the residences of the powerful and wealthy, and as for the magnificent castle Cliff's Edge, that was paradise where the Deity resided...
This is truly Neutral Territory.
The lord used his power to the fullest extent, and his confidants also enjoyed many powers.
The Commoners within the territory were very free, and there weren't many laws binding them.
But in the hearts of the Commoners, the lord is a god, and every word he says is the truth.
At this very moment.
Just as William and his group entered Eastsea City.
Bernard, residing in his sea castle, is hosting a lavish and extravagant banquet.
The castle is Gothic building, giving people a feeling of rising upwards.
The interior of such buildings is extremely spacious and bright. If the walls are decorated with beautiful and artistic murals, it can evoke a unique sense of reverence, creating a profound spiritual connection and a feeling of piety.
In this banquet hall of over 500 square meters, only a few dozen people attended the dinner, but there were hundreds of beautiful servants serving them.
They were extremely beautiful young girls, dressed scantily, serving tea and water, or performing obscene dances in the banquet hall.
Although it is not uncommon for powerful and wealthy people to suddenly grab a woman, bite her neck, and suck her blood.
But the other human girls will ignore it and continue doing what they need to do.
Because people who are bitten will not die, nor will they become Vampires; they will only be weak due to some blood deficiency.
They are the Blood Slave of these Vampires before them.
Blood Slave serve the purpose of providing blood and services.
Getting bitten is no big deal.
If struggling angers the Vampires, then one might be in a deadly situation.
As Blood Slave, the girls can not only cultivate Battle Aura or Magic to improve the delicious quality of the blood, but they can also gain freedom when they get older.
And these Vampires will give them a large sum of money so they can start a new life...
At the head of the banquet table sat a handsome man who appeared to be middle-aged. His complexion was ruddy, and he looked no different from an ordinary person, lacking the conspicuous characteristics of a low-level Vampires.
He was Bernard, and he had a very polite appearance.
It could even be said that, except when the Vampires were hungry, the vast majority of the Blood Clan present possessed sufficiently elegant manners and smiles.
A young girl walked up to Bernard and whispered something in his ear.
Bernard stood up, holding his wine glass, and laughed loudly, "Some delicious Demon Hunters have arrived in the city again. I heard there are six High-Class. I wonder which polite gentleman would like to use them as bait to capture them?"
"My Lord, why don't you leave this matter to me!"
"No, no, no," a Vampires standing not far from Bernard stood up and refused. At the same time, he said with a look of reminiscence, "It would be best to leave this to me. After all, the strength of six High-Class Demon Hunters is certainly not weak."
"Since that incident, I haven't tasted the flavor of High-Class Professional for far too long. Please, my Lord, give me another chance."
"Hmph." The first Vampires to speak glanced at him, and seeing that Bernard didn't seem to mind, he could only sit down with a resentful look on his face.
You need to know.
Even though Eastsea City is Vampires territory, and they even have Legion under their command, they cannot appear at will, because humans are naturally afraid of them.
They can treat humans as food, servants, and slaves to work for them, but they rarely use their power to directly arrest Demon Hunters on trumped-up charges unless absolutely necessary.
Because Eastsea City also possesses the Temple of Light.
The Temple Knight and Priest knew their identities.
However, due to the issues surrounding the Dark Hall, the Temple of Light will not directly expose their identities.
After all, for the Temple of Light, a group of Vampires in the open are far superior to Vampires who hide in the shadows and kill and cause trouble everywhere.
As long as the Vampires don't provoke public outrage, the Temple of Light will ignore them for the time being.
After all, the Dark Invasion is far more troublesome than Vampires.
After entering Eastsea City, William did not wander aimlessly. Instead, following Diablo's memory, he gradually made his way into the city and found an abandoned castle.
It's obvious.
This is Diablo's hometown. His former clansmen were also among Bernard's confidants, but one thing is certain: Diablo's clansmen were definitely not Vampires.
As the intelligence chief of Dawn City, Alec had been sent to secretly gather information, since the massacre of the clan was not so easy to completely erase, and some clues could be found more or less.
This mission is to help Diablo find his enemy, the one who destroyed his family.
Since the mission difficulty is A+, it should be an enemy of equal rank for William, and certainly not an old guy like Bernard.
However, the five of them searched the abandoned castle for a long time but found no useful clues.
This gave William a bit of a headache.
He didn't know if Alec could find any mission information.
But one thing is certain: it is.
If they still can't find out who Diablo's enemy is.
William then turned his attention to the Vampires, hoping they would tell him who was the mastermind behind the massacre.
But if William were to actually do that, it would inevitably offend Bernard's authority, causing a qualitative change in the mission.
But what William least expected was...
Before he could even entertain the idea of attacking the other Vampires...
The difficulty level of this task is already rated as S-Class.
"This is getting interesting. Did I use my identity as Demon Hunters to attract your attention, or did our direct arrival at Diablo's hometown arouse your murderous intent?" William was frowning as he walked out of the castle when a Bat perched on a treetop watched him.
William looked up and met his gaze.
Bang!
The ground beneath William's feet suddenly cracked, and he charged towards the Bat like a cannonball.
This Vampires never expected William to play by his own rules so unpredictably!
Even if Demon Hunters actually sees Bat, he wouldn't suddenly take action. He would even go back to discuss countermeasures, or even assume that the Bat is a scout sent by the Vampires.
This isn't like what's written in Knight novels!!!
But in that split second...
The Vampires hadn't even had time to take flight yet.
William had already reached out his large hand to grab him.
The Bat- like Vampires could no longer Transformation. He quickly returned to human form and was about to retaliate when William's left hand, crackling with Thunder Light, gripped his neck like a pair of pincers, immobilizing him and slamming him to the ground.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared in the ground.
Upon hearing the noise, everyone rushed out of the ruined fortress.
They then saw a Vampires with fangs get up, only to be trampled to the ground again by William, who was falling from the sky.
The next moment.
William sneered as he grabbed the Vampires's arm and slammed it against the ground repeatedly!
Bang bang bang bang bang...
William smashed him beyond recognition, then stomped on his head, wishing he could crush him into the ground. He asked in a chilling voice, "Tell me, which Vampires conquered this castle?"
"You... who are you?" This Vampires was the same guy who had decided to act as bait at the banquet.
He was just about to call for reinforcements, because this abandoned castle was the perfect place to ambush and kill the Demon Hunters!
But William was too decisive!
He wasn't given a single chance.
He completely stunned me with his swinging...
"I'm asking you a question, not asking you to ask me, do you understand?" William narrowed his eyes and stomped his foot again, almost crushing the skull.
We are all High-Class Professional.
This Vampires's bloodline potential is Grandmaster, but its actual combat strength is far inferior to his.
But the Vampires before him remained defiant. He struggled to his feet; in all these years, he had never suffered such humiliation. "Let me go, and I'll send you out of the city; otherwise, you're dead."
"Oh, you mean I'm afraid of Bernard, or afraid of you Vampires? I just want you to tell me who killed everyone who lived in this castle." William stomped his foot again.
But in that very instant...
The Vampires in front of me suddenly transformed into a tiny Bat and tried to fly away.
But with so many bosses in front of us, can we just let them escape?
Diablo couldn't hold back any longer. He gently shook his head, and several long metal needles shot out from the ground, Pierce the Bat's body and freezing it in mid-air.
The Vampires transformed back into human form, his entire body now Pierce with Steel Needle, including a Chrysanthemum piercing deep into his anus...
Just as he was about to scream in agony...
William slapped him hard across the face, a slap that tore off a large chunk of flesh.
Ignoring his bloodied appearance, he grabbed his hair, forced him to lift his head, and looked him straight in the eyes, saying, "Tell me the truth, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll show you what cruelty is."
cruel?
What could be more cruel than us Blood Clan?
The Vampires was about to retort.
But William's next words completely chilled his heart!
"Do you even know what a hereditary Vampires slave is? I have a bunch of burly men under my command. Believe me, they can break you!"
"Speak, I'll speak." The Vampires was dumbfounded. Wasn't this a tactic used against Elf? Had they become so twisted as to target us Blood Clan now?
Have you no humanity at all?
We're Vampires, you know! Give us some face!
