Five fingers were embedded in the flesh like iron sticks, Lin Ze was so painful that his eyes turned white.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!"
Lin Ze was so painful that he spat out a string of Chinese words, and reflexively pressed his left hand on his shoulder, just right on the pale paw.
Cold and slippery, it was like catching an octopus with bones.
Without thinking, he turned around and pointed the wand in his right hand directly at the vampire's face.
A shot of "Avada Kedavra" was placed against its forehead.
The green light exploded, and the vampire's head tilted back, but instead of letting go, the hand holding his shoulder tightened, and his five fingers were about to crush his shoulder blades.
"Damn it, let me go!"
Lin Ze hit Severing Charm three times in a row, each one cutting into the flesh, but it was like cutting into a lump of old plasticine. It couldn't be squeezed out, and it couldn't be squeezed out, and it couldn't be squeezed out.
The hand still didn't let go.
Lin Ze caught a glimpse of Mario out of the corner of his eye and appeared out of nowhere.
He was holding half of a broken oar in his hand, and he was shouting something like Lin Ze. He didn't hear it clearly, but it was "waaaaah" anyway.
But he saw him rounding the oar and hitting the vampire on the back of the head.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the oar broke into two pieces, but the vampire did not move at all.
Mario stared at the half wooden stick in his hand, then looked up at the vampire, his face turned pale.
"Run!" Lin Ze shouted at him.
Mario threw down the stick and ran, rolling and crawling, and disappeared into the bushes behind the river beach in a few steps.
Lin Ze has no time to care about him.
He gritted his teeth and circulated the magic power in his body. The wand once again created a crack in the air in front of him.
Blue arcs of electricity exploded with crackles, and the space was like a black cloth torn by a knife, with cracks lying between the vampire and him.
The thing seemed to be a little afraid of this crack, and the hand holding his shoulder finally loosened half an inch.
Just this half inch, Lin Ze seized the opportunity and fell back, falling into the cracked space behind him.
"Call out--"
The cracks closed, leaving only a stream of disturbed air.
When Lin Ze fell out of the air, his butt hit a moss-covered stone, which was so painful that he almost died on the spot.
He was lying on his back by an unknown river, soaked to the skin, his clothes were torn into strips, and his left shoulder was so painful that he could no longer feel it.
It felt like a red-hot iron plate was pressing on his chest, and every breath he took was filled with the smell of blood.
After waiting for a long time, he reluctantly touched his left shoulder with his right hand that could still move.
His fingers touched a piece of sticky blood, and the wound was so deep that he could touch the edge of the bone.
Lin Ze wanted to use the wand to give himself a Blood-Staunching Charm, but as soon as he raised the wand, his eyes were spinning again.
"Fuck... don't die... don't die, don't die, don't die..."
As he chanted, he put the wand on his shoulder and read out Blood-Staunching Charm with his last breath.
The bleeding barely stopped, but the pain was still there.
Lin Ze was lying by the river, panting like a stranded fish.
It was noon at this time, the river surface was covered with a layer of gold in the sunshine, and several water birds flew overhead, their calls were high-pitched and distant.
If this scene was placed in a travel promotion video, it would be so beautiful that it could be on the cover of a magazine.
But Lin Ze just wants to scold me now.
He took out the silver badge from his pocket, held it in his palm with all his strength, and poured a little magic power into it.
The badge is unresponsive.
He tried again, but still no response.
"No sir... this piece of shit... still has no signal?"
Lin Ze raised the badge to his eyes, the runes on it were dark.
Damn Rodna, so unreliable...
Lin Ze felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, until he could no longer lift them up, then his vision went black and he fainted.
He had a dream.
In the dream, he was standing in an empty office, with a pile of documents spread out on the table, and outside the window was the gray fog London that persisted all year round.
Rodna was sitting on the swivel chair opposite him, with his two long legs crossed on the table, spinning a quill with a blue flame in his hand.
"You look miserable." Rodna said.
Lin Ze looked down at himself. His clothes were intact and his left shoulder no longer hurt. Obviously this was not the real world.
"Are you here to laugh at me?"
"No, I just came to see if you were dead."
"Why don't you do anything with your broken badge?"
Rodna tilted his head, his heterochromatic eyes looked particularly bright in the gray misty light, "Some things were delayed just now. Under normal circumstances, I will get back to you."
"Let me see... oh, it turns out he was injured by a low-level vampire."
"The lowest level?" Lin Ze was stunned.
"That thing can even knock Fiendfyre away. Are you telling me that it is the lowest class?"
"Fiendfyre has limited effect on vampires."
Rodna turned around, stood up from the chair, and walked to Lin Ze.
"The power of the vampires comes from their blood. If you try to deal with them the same way you deal with dark wizards, it will of course be useless."
"Then... how to deal with them?"
"Positive spells of light, such as... do you believe in light?"
Lin Ze:"..."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Of course not."
Rodna turned around and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Think about it carefully, it's all in the book I gave you."
Lin Ze wanted to ask again, but Rodna's figure disappeared like smoke blown away by the wind.
Then he opened his eyes suddenly.
It was completely dark at this time.
The moonlight leaked through the gaps in the bushes nearby, sprinkling a few streaks of silver on the ground.
Lin Ze touched his arms.
The black magic book is still there.
Lin Ze's first reaction was to turn over and sit up, but the severe pain from his left shoulder almost made him lie down again.
"S--fuck!"
He gritted his teeth, sat up straight with his right hand on the ground, leaned his back against a tree trunk, and gasped for air.
Under the moonlight, he looked around and saw that he was still beside the unknown river. The grass on the bank had a human-shaped dent in it. Apparently, he had been lying upright like this for most of the day.
There was mist on the river, and night birds were chirping in the distant woods, and the sound of flapping wings was far away and sometimes near.
He lowered his head and glanced at his left shoulder. The bleeding had stopped, but the wound was still open, with an abnormal layer of gray around the edges.
The good news is, there is no infection.
The bad news is that "Healing Charm" is useless for this kind of injury.
Lin Ze took out Essence of Dittany from Undetectable Extension Box, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured the whole bottle onto the wound.
"Zila--"
White smoke started to rise, which hurt so much that his back molars almost shattered.
The wound began to heal slowly.
"Huh..."
He leaned his head against the tree trunk and waited for five minutes before recovering from the fatal sting.
Then he took out the book given by Rodna.
Is it in this book?
But I clearly remember that there is only one spell in this book...
Huh?
The moment he opened the black book, Lin Ze was stunned. The words on the book were beating crazily again.
He quickly ran "Occlumency".
But those fonts still showed no sign of stopping. About a minute later, when all the words quieted down, a brand new Charms circuit appeared in front of Lin Ze.
