Chapter 462: The Vampire Hero Fighting Under the Demon King's Command

~24 min read 4,602 words

At the same time that the untimely voice fell, a scorching light lit up above Kalian's head without warning!

His pupils shrank slightly, and he looked up at the sky, only to see a burning sun appearing below the clouds, appearing directly above his head!

That scorching sun emitted a high temperature sufficient to melt steel, dyeing the entire forest in a doomsday-like orange-red.

Accompanied by boundless pressure, that sun was like a heavenly punishment sent down by the gods at doomsday, smashing fiercely toward Kalian and the most elite Green Forest Army soldiers behind him!

Facing this sudden, world-destroying blow, there was not a hint of fear on Kalian's face, which was twisted by fanaticism.

"Is this your ability?"

He laughed arrogantly, not dodging or avoiding, and slashed a sword toward the sky!

The surging power of Chaos was poured into the swinging blade, and a visible pitch-black crack extended toward the sky with his strike, leaving an ugly and twisted scar in the air!

This sword—

Actually slashed through space!

"Boom—!"

The dazzling sun and the pitch-black crack collided fiercely, and were finally split in two by the latter!

The violent energy turned into a sky full of fire rain, pouring down in all directions, just like molten steel poured from the firmament!

Countless Green Forest Army soldiers couldn't dodge in time and were instantly ignited, turning into twisted charcoal.

However, Kalian didn't care about this at all; with the battle situation reaching this point, the casualties of a few hundred-man squads couldn't affect the overall situation.

And the soldiers under his command also seemed to have lost the perception of death, standing silently in place, emitting a chilling aura of death all over.

On the contrary, the Campbell people and dwarves standing opposite them were shocked to the soul by this horrifying scene, their hair standing on end.

They seemed like the undead!

And, living undead!

At the edge of the military formation, a figure riding a warhorse quietly appeared beside Princess Ailin.

That person was Prince Kelin.

He watched Kalian calmly, the magic wand in his hand flashing with golden light, and he had already begun to chant the next obscure and profound spell.

"Swift as the wind—!"

Not just "Swift as the wind," but also "Iron Entanglement," "Shadow of Dust," and so on.

In just an instant, Luo Yan had cast twelve of his most proficient BUFFs on Princess Ailin and the warhorse beneath her.

Feeling the trust in Prince Kelin's eyes, Princess Ailin no longer had any hesitation, let out a crisp battle roar, clamped her legs on the horse's belly, and took the lead in charging.

At the same time she charged on horseback, a dazzling golden light gathered on the blade she held high, transforming into a heavy cavalry lance over three meters long!

That was her father's weapon.

She could summon it to the mortal world without reciting prayers.

However, unlike in the past, that light seemed even more dazzling than usual, to the point that Teresa, watching her, was surprised to see a familiar shadow from her back...

That was the shadow of Aaron Campbell!

Her Highness Princess Ailin seemed to have become stronger again, even having caught up with her father...

"Citizen Cavalry—"

"Charge!"

Watching her Highness rushing toward the enemy formation, Teresa didn't dare to be negligent, held her longsword high, and led the eager Campbell citizen cavalry to charge toward the flank of the Green Forest Army!

At the same time, the dwarf goat cavalry also followed, firing at the Green Forest Army's position with large-caliber flintlock muskets while charging.

The front line was filled with smoke!

The Campbell soldiers, under the officer's command, raised their flintlock muskets in unison, the black muzzles aimed at the enemy formation that had also begun to charge.

"Fire!!"

Following the officer's order, the soldiers pulled the triggers, and in a dense smoke, the charging Green Forest Army soldiers fell to the ground at the sound!

However, they didn't rout!

Completely different from the encounter outside Torrent Pass, these warriors who had condensed the faith of Chaos were like undead who were not afraid of death, and the roar of their charge even drowned out the violent roar of the muskets!

"Kill—!"

The army, like a tide, swept across the decaying forest, surging toward the Campbell Principality's line.

In the distance, the dwarf artillery position let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the whistling shells crossed the forest, smashing toward the center of the Green Forest Army!

The sounds of killing and smoke filled the entire forest, and the dense rain of bullets, along with the tip of the lance in Princess Ailin's hand, killed into the enemy formation together!

Watching that lance tip like a meteor, Kalian still didn't dodge or avoid, the corners of his mouth hooking into a disdainful and regretful smile.

"Too weak!"

The moment the shining lance tip was about to pierce him, the short sword in his hand swept out like thunder.

"Clang—!"

The blade and the lance tip collided!

The piercing sound of metal clashing almost tore everyone's eardrums!

Watching that blow, which was enough to pierce a city wall, about to completely submerge Kalian, Teresa, standing not far away, was shocked to find that the shining cavalry lance had actually crawled with spiderweb-like cracks!

"Bang—"

With a crisp sound, the shining cavalry lance, like broken glass, shattered inch by inch under the erosion of the power of Chaos, turning into light dust and flying away!

The violent impact sent Princess Ailin flying off her horse, drawing a pathetic parabola in the air.

However—

Her pathetic state lasted only for an instant.

She saw that heroic figure turn in mid-air, stabilizing her posture like a fallen leaf supported by an airflow.

Princess Ailin forcibly adjusted her posture, the cavalry lance in her hand turned back into sword form, and her boot soles and blade landed steadily on the ground together.

However, even so, that huge impact still made the blood in her chest surge, and the web between her thumb and forefinger felt numb!

Is this the strength of the Purple Crystal-tier...

Truly terrifying!

Princess Ailin didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent, staring fixedly at that figure, adjusting the rhythm of her breathing, stabilizing her blade and mind.

Seeing that this guy could still move after taking a sword from him, Kalian's eyebrows raised slightly, then he sneered and his legs exerted force suddenly, rushing up against the whistling rain of bullets!

"Die for me—!"

Bang—!

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out again, but this time it wasn't a clash of swords, but a contest between sword and magic!

Earth spikes as thick as pythons suddenly leaped out, with a thunderous momentum not inferior to the Campbell cavalry lance, colliding with the short sword Kalian had swung in a hurry.

The boiling black energy shattered the whistling earth spikes without suspense, but that huge force still made Kalian's movements pause.

Taking advantage of the time Kelin had bought for her with magic, Princess Ailin took down the reagent bottle hanging from her waist, bit open the stopper, and drank it in one gulp.

The bright red medicine poured into her throat, dyeing her emerald green pupils with a hint of scarlet outline, and her aura also soared.

Magic potion?

Kalian was surprised in his heart, but didn't take it seriously; the short sword killed Princess Ailin like a shadow, colliding with the Light of Heraldry in her hand!

"Clang—!"

This was the second clash between the two!

Kalian slashed dozens of swords in an instant, each sword shadow dragging a huge black energy, and the dense sword shadows even piled up into a wall!

Facing Kalian's fierce attack, Princess Ailin didn't give an inch either.

She saw the longsword in her hand dancing like the wind, the meteor-like sword light colliding with those dozens of black afterimages in the air, sparking dazzlingly.

Objectively speaking, Princess Ailin was clearly superior in swordsmanship and equipment, but Kalian still had the upper hand in pure strength.

His swordsmanship had no rules, and couldn't even be called swordsmanship, but it emitted a primitive dominance. His sword was like a beast's fangs, every bite aiming for the vitals!

That was the skill he had honed from slaughter.

Although Princess Ailin had also been baptized by war, she was still slightly raw compared to the many battles Kalian had experienced.

Thanks to the buff magic cast by Kelin, otherwise she wasn't sure how long she could hold on in this back-and-forth slaughter.

This guy's strength was even far above her father's old rival—the previous Demon King of Lei Ming County, Lei Ji Dragon!

After all, Lei Ji was only Diamond-tier.

Watching Princess Ailin gradually fall into a disadvantage, Kalian wasn't in a hurry to end this battle, continuing to launch attacks like a storm while saying in a mocking tone.

"Your Highness, forgive me for being blunt, your swordsmanship is only suitable for performing on the martial arts field; it's still too green for killing."

Without waiting for Princess Ailin's answer, a voice he hated suddenly drifted into his ears.

"Is that so? I think Her Highness Princess Ailin's sword is much cleaner than yours."

At the same time that the voice drifted into his ears, the warning in Kalian's heart rose suddenly, and he subconsciously leaped backward.

At the moment he left the original spot, dozens of thick vines broke through the ground, entangling the position where he had just stood like living things!

Kelin's figure appeared at the other end of the battlefield, the tip of the magic wand in his hand flashing with emerald green light.

His movements didn't stop because of a missed hit, but continued to throw out a spell he had prepared in advance!

A whistling fire dragon sprayed out from the tip of the magic wand, chasing Kalian's figure leaping in mid-air, and then bit down!

Dazzling firelight exploded in the forest, and the flying wood chips and sparks knocked down a row of passing soldiers; although it didn't hurt Kalian, it made him look pathetic.

"Another noble here to die?"

Shaking the short sword blackened by the flames, Kalian curled his lips in disdain, but there was a hint of hidden vigilance in his heart.

He couldn't see through this man!

Unlike the little girl of the Campbell family, this smiling man gave him an unfathomable pressure.

That pressure was no less than when he was listening to the voice in the void.

And at the same time that the man appeared, he felt a pair of eyes hidden behind the dark clouds looking at him.

That was Urgos's eyes!

Watching Kalian, who was pathetic but not substantially hurt, Luo Yan, although not surprised in his heart, was still a little helpless.

What he was best at was actually necromancy.

However, he happened to be wearing Kelin's vest now, so he could only make do with fire and earth magic.

However, it didn't matter.

At most, it would just take a little more time.

"A person can have many identities; using noble to describe me is too biased."

Luo Yan smiled and continued in a gentle and polite tone, "By comparison, I suggest you call me, Roxie Kelin."

You can hate him after going down, no need to hate me.

Kalian was stunned for a moment, laughed casually, but his eyes stared fixedly at him.

"Roxie Kelin, interesting guy, you are the second noble to report your full name to me... so are you Platinum-tier? Or Diamond?"

Luo Yan said leisurely.

"You are not trying to build an equal country, why care what level I am?"

"Heh," Kalian sneered and clicked his tongue, "You are also quite good at playing with words."

Luo Yan accepted his praise and nodded slightly.

"Of course, you can tell me which set of principles you like to hear, I can say them all to you."

"I'd rather hear your screams!"

At the same time the words fell, Kalian's body had already moved.

He saw his whole person shoot toward Kelin, who was nodding slightly, like a cannonball, the short sword in his hand swept out, and a pitch-black crack moved like lightning!

He didn't care about any martial virtue—

Only the living are qualified to talk about that!

"Careful—" Watching the power of Chaos that tore through space hit Kelin's face, Princess Ailin couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

At the moment this exclamation escaped her lips, an incredible scene happened.

She saw the sweeping black energy pass straight through Kelin's body, plowing a trench over ten meters wide on the ground.

As for "Kelin," who was hit by the pitch-black energy of Chaos, he disappeared without a trace like a broken soap bubble.

As if the hit was just an illusion.

Kalian was shocked.

Where is the person?

Not only did Kelin's figure disappear, but so did his aura, which had been restrained to the extreme.

This sense of separation made his heart panic, and also made the "Claw of Eternal Hunger," who was gazing at this battlefield, subconsciously hold its breath.

That rolling black cloud was Its breath.

Clearly, It hadn't expected to see that power, which It was extremely familiar with, here, and even less expected why this power would stand with the God-chosen of Saint Xisi...

Kalian's gaze moved rapidly, but the corner of his eye caught a butterfly.

Before he could come back to his senses about what that was, a long whip transformed from pitch-black flames replaced the butterfly's position, smashing straight toward the tip of his nose!

"Boom—!"

Kalian swung his sword to parry; although he blocked this whistling blow, the flying sparks still splashed onto his body.

That wasn't ordinary fire.

It was both scorching and bone-chillingly cold, as if passing through his flesh and blood body, straight to the deepest part of his soul...

From that torture of ice and fire, he faintly heard the wailing of the undead, as if thousands of ghosts were demanding his life!

His pupils shrank slightly.

"Necromancy?"

"Shh."

Luo Yan raised the index finger of his left hand to make a gesture of silence, smiled, and faded his figure from the sword light that swept past, standing in the forest tens of meters away.

Using necromancy to describe his black flames was imprecise; that was a product of the crossbreeding of necromancy and fire magic.

He had mastered this skill a long time ago.

Faintly, Princess Ailin felt an evil aura, but didn't take it to heart, just thinking it was a trick of Chaos.

Taking advantage of the time Kelin had bought for her, she stepped forward, the longsword in her hand dancing like the wind, sweeping toward Kalian, who was still in shock.

"Ah!!!"

Accompanied by Princess Ailin's crisp shout, the golden light descending from the sky was like a falling meteor, colliding fiercely with the short sword Kalian had used to parry in a hurry, colliding with a sky full of light feathers!

That dazzling light scorched both of them in the slaughter at the same time, and the holy light gave equal sanctions to the God-chosen of Chaos and the vampire.

Clearly.

Even after becoming a vampire and being able to burn life infinitely, the Light of Heraldry was not without side effects for Princess Ailin.

Most of the legends established by the ancestors of the Campbell family were attached with holy halos, and if one was not careful, they would hurt themselves.

But fortunately, she still had "Kelin."

At the same time she gritted her teeth and endured the scorching of the holy light, hundreds of pitch-black fire rains suddenly enveloped the two who were slaughtering.

Out of trust in Kelin, Princess Ailin almost didn't set up any defenses, and caught off guard, she took a hit on her back and shoulder respectively.

Feeling the scorching heat coming through the armor, she was about to let out a cry of pain, but found that there was no expected pain.

This fire...

Why is it a bit comfortable?

Only Kalian was scorched; a low roar came from his mouth, as if his soul had been hit hard, and he retreated a few steps before standing firm.

Princess Ailin, bathing in the black flames, couldn't help but let out a soft hum, her eyes blurred for a moment, only feeling that all the fatigue of her body had been healed by those warm flames.

However, she quickly came back to her senses, and was immediately frightened by her own reaction, looking in panic at Kelin standing not far away.

This is—

"This is the secret technique of the Gutav Kingdom, the black holy fire woven by ancient dragon language!" Luo Yan held the magic wand and said without pause, "It's now, Princess Ailin! Don't let him go!"

"Go to hell!" Kalian cursed, the aura of Chaos all over his body rising with his boiling anger, slowly healing his severely damaged spirit.

So that's it—

It's dragon language secret technique!

Princess Ailin felt relieved in her heart, and then her sharp eyes instantly locked onto Kalian, waving the Light of Heraldry and killing him again!

"Ah ah ah—!"

The powerful roar and the sword blade as swift as the wind arrived at the same time; this time, the person who was chasing relentlessly changed from Kalian to Princess Ailin!

Bathing in the black flames, she seemed like a different person, every move containing sharp killing intent!

"Clang—!!!"

The colliding blades set off a hurricane in the forest, and the nearby oak trees snapped and fell to the ground!

Feeling the impact coming along the hilt, a look of astonishment appeared on Kalian's face, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared between his brows.

Such powerful strength!

He was both astonished at why the strange black flames wouldn't hurt Princess Ailin, and puzzled at why her strength seemed endless, even getting stronger the more she fought!

The whistling sword blade was like a hammer, and the holy light feathers were faintly mixed with an aura of the undead.

Kalian was completely confused.

What the hell is this guy?!

How could one person possess the power of holy light and the undead at the same time?!

Although he had the strength of the Purple Crystal-tier, he couldn't withstand this kind of round-after-round consumption.

Especially on the battlefield close at hand, the Campbell army had already gained the upper hand.

If he couldn't end the Campbell hero, he would lose everything even if he won this duel!

However, every time Kalian tried to concentrate his strength to finish off Princess Ailin first, the whistling black flames would follow him like a shadow, pouring power into Princess Ailin while biting his soul!

That black flame was simply unreasonable.

Because he didn't have to worry about hurting his own people, the mage named Kelin could cast spells at will without any scruples.

Those endless strange spells, combined with Princess Ailin's increasingly sharp sword blade, constantly compressed his living space.

Facing Princess Ailin, who was fighting more and more bravely while bathing in black flames, Kalian finally began to feel a hint of strain.

He realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose!

To win this duel, he must first solve the mage who was hiding behind this woman and chanting constantly!

Just then, the corner of his eye caught Kelin in the distance coughing, and taking a blue medicine bottle from his arms.

Kalian's heart was overjoyed.

That guy's magic power is not enough!

Not missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Kalian let out a beast-like roar, and the suppressed power of Chaos exploded instantly.

Taking advantage of Kelin's pause in casting, he slashed out with a sword, forcing Princess Ailin, who was chasing relentlessly, back two steps, her boot soles stepping out a deep pit on the ground.

That was the strength of the Purple Crystal-tier after all!

Without Kelin's support, Princess Ailin really had a hard time resisting just by relying on the power of the Light of Heraldry in her hand.

However, Kalian's target wasn't her; he knew very well who the biggest threat was.

That man whom even Urgos feared—

If he didn't kill that guy, he even suspected that even if he cut down this little girl, that guy could pull her up with magic.

Who can stand this?!

His legs exerted force suddenly, Kalian held the short sword backhand, and like a lightning bolt, suddenly stabbed toward Kelin, who was looking up and drinking the magic potion.

He even saw the rolling Adam's apple, and faintly smelled the clean and refreshing scent on the collar.

The corners of Kalian's mouth curled into a victorious smile; this time he would absolutely not miss!

His eyes were blood-red, the power of Chaos all over his body running to the extreme, and the sword blade that tore through space swept toward that figure, which was more slippery than a loach, from all directions.

"Die for me!!!"

The connection between the entire space and the surroundings had been severed; even a demigod here would absolutely not be able to dodge this unavoidable blow!

However, in just one second, that ferocious smile froze on his face.

His sword didn't pierce Kelin's throat.

Instead, a butterfly with gorgeous colors flapped its wings and landed lightly on the tip of his nose.

In just an instant, that beautiful and fragile butterfly was torn to pieces by the whistling sword wind.

But that was all.

Kalian screamed in shock, wanting to hold back the whistling sword blade to parry, but it was too late.

"What the hell is this?!"

"I call it, a surprise."

The ghostly voice blew into his eardrum.

That voice wasn't far from him, even less than ten meters, but it felt like it was separated by a vast ocean.

"It's over."

Luo Yan swung the magic wand in his hand lightly and declared his ending in a gentle voice.

Kalian's heart twitched violently, and the omen of death climbed onto his brow for the first time.

"No—"

Unfortunately, this time the gods didn't stand with him.

In fact, It had given him a chance; the person chosen by the gods didn't point the sword at him right away.

Compared to Chaos, the Demon King was still very reasonable.

At the moment the whisper fell, thousands of spears condensed from pitch-black flames pierced Kalian's body like a net descending from the sky!

His eyes widened, his muscles tensed, but in the end, he couldn't resist the arrival of death.

A pitch-black spear pierced his heart, but not just his heart.

Also his soul!

'Ah—!'

His soul, out of his body, roared in horror, trying to struggle and escape, but was grabbed by the back of the neck by an uncontrollable force, dragging him to float toward the black clouds in the sky.

Luo Yan looked up at the sky, feeling sorry for him for two seconds in his heart, not knowing which world's Hive City this poor soul would drift to, and what kind of fate he would accept.

That was probably only known to Urgos.

Looking at the group of vengeful ghosts hovering in the sky, he always felt that the people of Dusk Saint Saint Xingsheng shouldn't be the most miserable.

At the moment the pitch-black spear pierced Kalian, Princess Ailin's longsword also wiped across his neck like a shadow.

This kind person still couldn't bear to see him suffer, even if he was an apostle of Chaos.

However, as a mortal, she didn't know that his soul had long been taken away by Urgos, and what remained in place was just a burnt-out empty shell.

What awaited him would be torture a hundred times crueler than physical torture.

After all, death is a matter of an instant; only by living can one taste every kind of bitterness.

Kalian's head fell to the ground, and the gushing blood spilled all over the ground; a generation of heroes fell here.

In terms of the number of people killed alone, he probably set a record in the history of Dusk Saint Saint Xingsheng.

Shaking the blood-stained longsword, Princess Ailin caught her breath. Confirming that Kalian was dead, she cast her gaze toward Kelin and walked over anxiously.

"Kelin, are you okay?"

When Kalian rushed toward him just now, she felt her heartbeat was about to stop.

But now it seems that her worry was a bit redundant.

"As you can see, I'm fine."

Watching Princess Ailin walking over with concern, Luo Yan smiled gently, reached out his index finger to wipe the blood from her cheek, "It's you, you scared me to death just now."

His "Butterfly of Myriad Phenomena" needs to fly for a while.

As a result, just after he put a buff on her, this guy rushed up like he had been injected with chicken blood.

Princess Ailin, whose cheek was touched, was like a switch that had been pressed, and a red glow instantly burned on her face.

"I I I... what is there to worry about, a mere apostle of Chaos, hurt hurt hurt can't hurt me at all!"

She explained in a panic, subconsciously taking half a step back, and as a result, her heel hit a tree root, and she almost fell down.

It can be seen that she was really panicked.

Otherwise, with her strength, the tree would probably fall before her.

Luo Yan smiled and reached out to hold Princess Ailin, steadying her again.

"Since you're fine, then I'm relieved."

"I..."

Watching Princess Ailin, whose face was flushed red, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak, Luo Yan pondered for a moment and cast his gaze toward the battlefield in the distance that was gradually coming to an end.

"Compared to worrying about my affairs, there are more important things waiting for you to do now."

In fact, he saw it; even without Princess Ailin commanding on the front line, Teresa could command very well.

The Campbell people's military literacy is very high.

Even in the case of the main general dying in battle, every hundred-man squad could continue to fight under the leadership of the centurion, while the centurion fought under the command of the thousand-man commander.

It was precisely because of this that Princess Ailin could let go and entangle with Kalian, safely handing her back to others.

However, for the time being, he hadn't thought about how to explain his own affairs, so he could only let Princess Ailin go and be busy with other things for a while.

He still had to think about how to make it up.

However, what he didn't expect was that Princess Ailin actually didn't think in that direction at all.

Now, let alone "Dragon Language Magic," even if Mr. Kelin said that the Dragon God was practicing backflips in his own home, she would probably believe it.

Princess Ailin didn't move, stood in place and held back for a long time, her face getting redder and redder, and finally only squeezed out a small sentence.

"... There is nothing more important than you."

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, a caring smile appeared on his face, just like looking at a child who was trying to drive a truck but couldn't reach the accelerator.

Is this the sword swung with all the strength of an honest person?

A bit cute. ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
