Where the moonlight shone, the Countess of the Crimson Moon would be there.
However, only a few people had personally encountered the moonlight of the Countess of the Crimson Moon, and there were even fewer people who could escape from it. Therefore, no one had ever been able to tell what kind of ability the oldest vampire had, and no one knew what her real fighting style was—they could only speculate on her strength through ambiguous and vague descriptions left by their predecessors.
In the crimson moonlight, all life was withering away, and even those inanimate things began to decay. Plants withered and fell, and the bare ground was also stained with a lifeless black. A faint, almost indistinguishable sound was echoing in the moonlight. The noise made them dizzy and unable to concentrate. They heard the sound of birds flapping their wings in the woods. The flock was also disturbed by the crimson moonlight. Hao Ren saw a flock of sparrows flying out of the woods and then fell to the ground. It was terrifying.
And after the moonlight had enveloped the earth, the figure of the red-haired Vivian finally emerged. She appeared from the moonlight and kept skipping in it so they could not capture her. She bellowed and attacked every one of them randomly, and kept on appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi raised their crossbows and fired at her repeatedly. Bang! Bang! The trajectories of silver arrows were crisscrossing into a light net in the air, but the arrows could only brush past the devil. After seeing the enemy’s way of dodging the arrows, the experienced Nangong Wudi suddenly realized a terrifying possibility: This devil probably could partly sense the opponent’s mind! Her attack and defense were exactly like a rehearsed play, and their attacks were just to cooperate with her!
Their energy was severely depleted while fighting in the moonlight. Even the healthiest Lily quickly felt a sense of dizziness coming from the depths of her mind. She was shaking as if she was about to fall under the red moon. The gray and crimson air was swirling up from her body toward the moonlight. “Landlord… I’m a little cold…”
Y’zaks was burning in roaring flames to resist the strange moonlight, and he held up the Demonic Barrier to shield all of them, but the shield had limited power—the attack of the moonlight was beyond all magic and curse, even Y’zaks did not know how to deal with it. “We must find a way to avoid the moonlight! And we have to lure that devil farther away… The moonlight is going to spread to the urban area!”
“Data terminal, find a place where the moon can’t reach!” Hao Ren shouted while jumping aside. At the same time as he jumped, another light hit the spot where he had just stood, and a vast expanse of ground was directly turned into a dead land. “And send everyone and this devil away!”
“I’m trying!” The Mobile Data Terminal was running around in the air while shouting, “The devil kept moving around, I can’t target it… Fxxx!”
The red-hair Vivian appeared again in the moonlight. The data terminal was already covered in blue light, immediately rushed to her. “Watch me!”
Bang! The data terminal finally hit the red-hair Vivian on the back of her head. The first effective attack turned out to be a brick- tactic from this data terminal. Hao Ren was almost stunned, and so did the devil. Data terminal would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It immediately shouted, “Open the door!”
A beam of light of teleportation that reached the sky suddenly lit up and all of them disappeared together with the devil.
The crimson moonlight in the sky flickered, and then suddenly disappeared, and the moors returned to silence again.
Hao Ren quickly recovered from the momentary dizziness. He shook his head, then immediately clenched his lance and stabbed to the side, feeling that he had stabbed something. He jumped away before the counterattack struck him. The devil was flying in the air not far away, and one of her arms was almost completely cut off by the light blade!
The devil roared angrily, trying to summon the moonlight again, but this time her effort was futile: there was no moon here.
Hao Ren just had a chance to look around. He saw a vast expanse of red wasteland, while the others were not far away, confronting the devil tensely. Lily was holding the Frostfire Blades, ready to attack. She kept coughing and asked, “Where is this place… It makes me a little uncomfortable.”
“Mars!” The voice of the data terminal came from the air.
They quickly put on their life collars (Hao Ren gave them one and let them carry it with them everywhere they went). Lily was waving her Frostfire Blades happily, mocking the devil in front of her. “Ah ha! Let’s see where you find the moon this time! There’s nothing here!”
The devil glanced at Lily, ignoring her mockery. She just raised her finger and said, “Come back …”
Lily’s hair was all standing up and she immediately jumped away. And a black dent appeared in the ground where she was standing just now and hundreds of meters behind it, as if the earth was festering.
“She’s still stronger than you even without the moonlight!” Hao Ren reminded Lily loudly, then turning to the rest of them and said, “Now she has no way to be invisible, everybody, go!”
Without hesitation, all of them attacked her immediately.
All kinds of attacks were throwing at her from all directions that the red-hair Vivian had nowhere to run. But even in that situation, she was not panicked as if she had no feeling. She was hit by a series of attacks. And before she was hit by Y’zaks’s Demonic Flare, she glanced at Hao Ren without any expression and said, “… You? Come back …”
Hao Ren was breaking out in a cold sweat. The moment the devil looked at him, he sensed that his shield capacity was falling rapidly like a dam had burst. After he avoided her eyes, he wondered: What did ‘come back’ mean?
The devil, however, clearly would not answer his question. She was wounded in a series of attacks, but still, there was blood mist coming out of her wounds to heal those wounds. She ignored the wounds and floated in the air, preparing to launch a second attack. Y’zaks frowned at her state, nodded and said, “Her speed of recovery has slowed down. Our attacks work!”
Hao Ren gritted his teeth, clenched his silver lance in his hand and said, “Be sure to catch her alive! We have to figure out what’s going on here!”
And as he was ready to fight, the devil in the air rushed towards them again!
The red-hair Vivian was surrounded by blood mist. Where she passed, not only did the earth begin to rot, the air was also rapidly filled with the eerie mist as if the world was eroding. Her strength was increasing, or recovering over time. Hao Ren knew that he could not delay, so he set the plasma flame of the lance straight to the maximum and then rushed to the devil without hesitation.
He was going to give the devil a head-on strike and then Y’zaks would release the Demonic Seal while the devil was healing the wound. If it did not work, he would have to use his dimensional pocket… Although this might destroy a lot of things in the dimensional pocket, he did not want to let this strange and suspicious devil run away!
But just as he was about to race to the devil, a black figure suddenly appeared.
Vivian appeared from a red light, looking bewildered. She was still wearing an apron, with a pan in her hand, looking as if she had just stepped out of the kitchen. “What are you doing?” She asked, looking surprised.
Hao Ren pointed at Vivian’s back and shouted, “Watch your back!”
Vivian felt that something was not right behind her. She turned around and saw a figure surrounded by red mists was racing toward her. Before she could discern and think carefully, she raised her hand, and the frying pan hit the devil right on the face.
Bang! The devil was directly knocked down by a pan…
