Chapter 274: Offer Your Heart to the King of Murder!

Wen Xishu’s palms had turned completely black.

In fact, if he were to carve names in different places, even if he covered his entire body—even if he wrote the names of the vampires on his 404 parts—it still wouldn't be enough.

But Wen Xishu also discovered that after writing a name, even if he wiped it away, the content he had written would still take effect.

So he only wrote on his palms; now his palms were pitch black, and it was impossible to tell what was written.

But they were all dense, packed with the names of those about to die.

Or rather, the obsessions of those about to die.

Under Wen Xishu’s manipulation, Night Demon soon discovered he didn't need to move anymore.

Cannon also didn't need to fend off the vampire tide from afar.

He only needed to keep bombarding the distance, ensuring the firelight illuminated this city.

The vampires were still increasing in number.

Shadow, in a state of concealment, observed the battlefield and found that some vampires who were fighting hypnotized vampires one second would suddenly be hypnotized the next, becoming comrades.

The vampires formed a city wall.

The wound on Canon’s neck had miraculously healed.

His formation’s harvesting effect had finally kicked in; with hundreds of vampires dead, the harvest finally allowed Canon’s wound to heal and his blood and Qi to become abundant.

Wen Xishu and the others all felt that their lost stamina had been replenished.

Cannon needed stamina to produce ammunition; while the ammunition was infinite, his stamina was not.

However, within the range of Canon’s formation eye, Cannon suddenly felt he had an inexhaustible supply of power.

The more vampires his artillery killed, the more stamina he had.

Wen Xishu did not stop for a moment, continuing to write names and methods of death.

The vampires seemed to have split into two factions: righteous and evil.

Canon remarked:

"Your hypnosis... has already reached the level of a god!"

Wen Xishu did not speak, merely continuing to wave his brush.

The situation on the battlefield was thus stabilized.

The vampires outside wanted to charge in and kill Wen Xishu and the others, but they were blocked by the "Ultimate Murder King" legion, who were also vampires.

Moreover, more and more vampires were being converted.

The bombardment never ceased; Cannon had never bombed so recklessly before.

And under the influence of Cosmos’s "Crisis Perception Elimination," the vampires couldn't realize anything was wrong at all, possessed only by the desire driven by blood.

Even though Canon’s wound had healed, to the vampires, the air still held the scent of living people.

Thus, the charges were endless, and the bombardment never stopped.

Under such bombardment, those behemoths finally could no longer sit still.

In the center of Crystal City.

Inside a massive fortress, seven ornate coffins began to shake.

The huge coffin lids were pushed open bit by bit.

Seven second-generation vampires converted by Cain awakened from their slumber.

"I have heard the call of my Lord. Someone is disturbing my Lord’s rest; these fellows who profane the Blood God shall all offer up their blood!"

Dracula, one of the seven great vampire enforcers, stood up.

"Heh, I smell it—it’s the scent of the living. Dracula, don't you dare try to hog it all for yourself."

Enforcer Camilla was a vampire even older than Dracula.

The third enforcer, Edward, with a withered and gaunt figure, said:

"I do not care for drinking blood, but disturbing my Lord’s rest is unforgivable."

Brushing the dust off his body, the fourth enforcer, Sir Ruthven, said:

"This ancient city should not be ravaged like this. Let us take action."

Sir Ruthven’s figure faded into the night.

Subsequently, Camilla, Dracula, Lilith, Lamia, Empusa... the owners of these seven coffins all set out.

On the outskirts of Crystal City.

As more and more vampires joined the other side, the group gradually began to think, "We might be able to hold out until dawn."

As long as this Ultimate Murder King from Longxia was here, these tidal waves of vampires were not so terrifying.

This thought was correct at a certain stage.

But soon, Night Demon sensed a powerful force.

Not just one force; to be precise, several terrifying forces were rushing toward them.

Night had fallen.

Night Demon grew stronger the more he fought, and his perception had become incomparably powerful.

He could feel that extremely dangerous entities—terrifying monsters that were worlds apart from other vampires—had joined the battlefield.

His first reaction was that "Cain" had finally lost his patience.

But he soon discovered... there wasn't just one powerful aura, but many!

After Cannon had been bombarding for quite a while, the city looked like a broken ruin after being baptized by war.

This kind of violent bombardment made Wen Xishu realize... Cannon’s superpower looked as simple as replenishing ammunition, but in practice, its destructive power was comparable to the Red House.

Its performance was far better than anyone else’s, and combined with Canon’s formation, Cannon had almost infinite firepower.

This also resulted in Cannon being the most conspicuous target in the eyes of the vampires.

A sound suddenly came from the heavens and the earth.

The vampire tide in front seemed to have received some kind of order, dispersing in an instant.

The "Ultimate Murder King Guard" attempting to block the vampires collectively felt fear.

But they were all dominated by the power of the Underworld Master.

Cannon suddenly discovered that the monsters' attacks had weakened; some vampires seemed to have stopped attacking.

He sensed that something had issued an order, causing the vampires to no longer advance rashly.

Testing the waters, Cannon fired a rocket into the darkness.

The rocket’s speed was extremely fast; anything that tried to block it would only be blown to pieces by the explosion.

But instead... this rocket fired into the darkness disappeared.

It was as if it had been swallowed by the dense night.

Soon, almost all the shells fired by Cannon... were swallowed by the darkness.

It was as if they had been fired into another dimension.

The firelight in the distance was constantly being extinguished.

The darkness was spreading, like a shroud of death covering down from the sky.

When people die, their lights go out; the constant extinguishing of the distant firelight made everyone feel fear in their hearts.

Night Demon trembled, unable to imagine what means these terrifying things had used.

Cannon’s artillery bombardment... had actually vanished like a stone into the sea.

More terrifying than the endless firepower was the absolute black.

Night Demon only felt that those shells had gone to another dimension.

The night seemed to have gained substance, like a thick liquid, extinguishing all the firelight.

"Don't let the lights go out completely! Otherwise, we will all die!"

Night Demon shouted.

Wen Xishu also immediately said:

"Don't bombard the distance, Cannon, ensure the light nearby!"

This feeling of darkness devouring light bit by bit made even Wen Xishu afraid of a total collapse.

After all, in a completely dark environment, not to mention high-level vampires, even ordinary vampires would be difficult to fend off.

Wen Xishu immediately manipulated the vampires to block the spreading darkness.

These darknesses were like living things, capable of devouring light.

Fortunately, flashbangs and flares were constantly being thrown from Cannon’s hands. Although the means of devouring light were powerful...

They were no match for Cannon’s infinite ammunition.

Outside the formation eye, besides the human wall of vampires, there was also the light that remained lit.

These tenacious lights were the final city wall for Wen Xishu and the others.

Of course, whether the city wall could hold, and whether it could withstand all the vampires' methods... Wen Xishu did not know.

The super vampires, whose strength completely crushed ordinary vampires, had approached.

This time, not only Night Demon, but even Wen Xishu felt that powerful sense of oppression.

Night Demon had a feeling... that even at his midnight peak, facing these monsters, he would be instantly killed.

Wen Xishu saw that the approaching darkness, like a giant monster from the abyss, swallowed up some of the vampires he had turned.

This also made Wen Xishu realize one thing—

The method of death written by the Seven-Colored Feather Pen is not absolute.

Simply put, after a vampire’s name is written by the feather pen, the vampire will die. That point has not changed. But the pre-death behavior Wen Xishu sets using the vampire feather pen does not necessarily mean the vampire cannot die before completing it.

For instance, at this moment, facing powerful high-level vampires, Wen Xishu intended to have one vampire lure them into revealing their true forms.

But the reality was that before this vampire could even execute the script’s actions... the vampire was already dead.

The seven high-level vampires possessed an oppressive presence like the night itself.

They had yet to show themselves.

Merely by using "Night Call," they had forced the group into a desperate situation.

But Wen Xishu was not panicked.

This scene was not large, unlike the previous scene which involved the Upper Spirit District, Middle Spirit District, and Lower Spirit District.

In this scene, there was currently only this British-style ancient city.

The shadow lurking in the dark suddenly noticed that Wen Xishu was no longer waving his pen constantly, but as if performing a magic trick, a scale and a knife had appeared in his hands.

Scorpion Knife, Scale of Chaos.

Wen Xishu had originally thought he wouldn't need them, but now he had to use them.

The Scale of Chaos is a Libra-class item that creates a "third-party force" of a corresponding level based on the level of the item placed on the scale.

An item can only be effective once within the same Trick Tower, Desire Tower, or Slaughter Tower scene.

The item Wen Xishu used on the scale this time was this god-level orange item.

Some things weighed in the hand are only a few pounds, but once placed on the scale, they are truly as heavy as an army of thousands.

The Scale of Chaos quickly took effect.

[They have already appeared on the battlefield. You will have two hours of safety time; after two hours, they will also launch an attack on you.]

A roar suddenly erupted.

The third-party force created by the Scale of Chaos was, unexpectedly, werewolves.

"Awoo—"

This was the roar of the third-party force.

This made Wen Xishu feel a strange coincidence.

"In a place with vampires, the third-party force created is werewolves?"

This was so fitting that Wen Xishu felt this might not be a coincidence? But rather a characteristic of the Scale of Chaos?

The howling of the werewolves seemed to possess some strange magic.

This magic gave Wen Xishu an unexpected surprise.

Originally, Wen Xishu’s plan was to have the third-party force disrupt the battlefield so that the cannons would not be locked onto.

He was also using an orange item, and a top-tier one among orange items like the Scorpion Knife at that, thinking only of creating the most powerful third-party force.

In this way, the vampires would have to pay attention to this new force.

The firepower would then be dispersed.

And as long as there was light around created by the cannons using flares and other weapons, plus the dilution of pressure by the third-party force...

Then they would be able to hold the current situation.

But reality was much better than Wen Xishu had anticipated.

Vampires need the night to become powerful, so one of the abilities evolved by high-level vampires is "Night Call."

As long as it is not during the day under sunlight, high-level vampires can swallow lamplight through "Night Call."

At the same time, "Night Call" can also dissolve the enemy's attacks like a sponge.

All light can be swallowed. But only sunlight cannot.

And the great situation that followed stemmed from the werewolves; the power of high-level werewolves originates from the full moon.

In the dense night, the moon could not be seen... and thus the werewolves could not complete their final transformation. As a result, the werewolves' power could not be fully unleashed.

Therefore, the power evolved by high-level werewolves is named "Moon Descent."

A huge, scarlet, blade-like moonlight tore through everything.

The night seemed to have been slashed open, and this wound spread rapidly!

The night of Crystal City finally had light!

Moonlight descended! Countless vampires cried out in discomfort.

Corresponding to this, under the blood moon, hundreds of ordinary werewolves and several powerful werewolves all began to transform.

This scene was also seen by all the vampires.

The vampires all felt panic, because moonlight is, fundamentally, sunlight.

And also because these werewolves seemed to have a higher individual combat strength than ordinary vampires.

At the same time, Edward, one of the seven great vampire enforcers, was exposed to the moonlight.

Edward immediately used Night Call to block the moonlight, while trying to hide in the darkness.

But it was already too late.

Wen Xishu was like Light Yagami who finally knew a name, the smile at the corner of his mouth twisted like a villain’s:

"Go to hell."

He had envisioned needing to use vampires to force high-level vampires to appear.

In this process, the cannons had to output flares at a high frequency throughout, and the shadow was perhaps the key of keys.

He had envisioned many schemes...

But he had not expected to have a stroke of good luck, that the units summoned by the Scale of Chaos were werewolves capable of making the moon appear.

This was simply a fatal blow to the vampires.

In essence, moonlight and sunlight are related, but the effect of moonlight is not as strong as daytime sunlight.

But even so, it caused many vampires pain and exposed a large area.

At the same time, the appearance of the werewolves completely attracted the attention of the high-level vampires.

Wen Xishu immediately wrote down Edward’s name.

Wen Xishu had seen Edward’s method of summoning the night, and he knew very well that Edward was one of the few high-level existences.

The level of these guys, while not yet at the level of the Red House, definitely exceeded that of ordinary leader-level entities.

But even so, they were only subordinates of Cain, and Wen Xishu could imagine how powerful Cain must be.

But no matter how strong, they could not escape death.

The first high-level vampire, an enforcer of the Gorgeous Seven Coffins, was thus "turned" by Wen Xishu.

"Edward will crazily attack vampires of the same level, forcing them into the light. If he cannot beat Dracula, Edward will beg for Cain’s salvation, but at the same time shout—For the Ultimate Murderer! Then he will beg for Cain’s salvation again, and finally be killed by Cain under the moonlight!"

This was another attempt by Wen Xishu.

If he couldn't make Edward kill Cain... then could Cain kill Edward?

The Night Demon was terrified; he was not afraid of moonlight, but he was very afraid of vampires.

He felt that those high-level vampires were existences on a completely different dimension from them.

But suddenly—

That vampire Edward, who summoned the night, actually launched an attack on another vampire, Dracula, who could also summon the night!

Edward tried his best to drag Dracula under the bright moon, directly facing that blade-like moonlight.

"Are you crazy!"

"Edward, you damn vegetarian! If you’re fucking crazy, don’t drag me into it!"

"Bastard, you’ve got some nerve, actually daring to sneak attack me! Why don’t you attack those monsters that can summon the moon!"

Dracula said these words almost roaring.

These words were also heard by the Night Demon.

The Night Demon suddenly turned to look at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu seemed to sense it, and also suddenly looked up, smiling at the Night Demon.

The battle between Edward and Dracula continued.

"If you don't drink blood, how could you possibly defeat me! Edward, you piece of trash!"

Sure enough, the next moment, Edward’s mouth suddenly shouted:

"For the Ultimate Murderer!"

These strange words almost confirmed every killer’s guess—yes, the Ultimate Murderer had conquered his opponent once again.

Despite being shocked time and time again, their reaction was still shock.

The Night Demon even had a thought...

Does he even have a limit? How strong is the true power of this Ultimate Murderer?

The high-level vampires appeared in such a grand, imposing manner, like the embodiment of the night, yet they were so easily controlled.

Where exactly is this person’s limit?

The werewolves began to slaughter the surrounding vampires, and the Night Demon quickly recovered from his shock:

"They... you didn't bring them here, did you? Or is it that there were werewolves in this place to begin with? Could they be our enemies?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"Don't panic, they are not enemies, at least not within two hours."

Although the Night Demon did not quite understand, Wen Xishu’s performance was too explosive; regardless of how high-status someone appeared when they entered the scene, the final result was always, "For the Ultimate Murder King!"

He was very curious: could this guy even manipulate the Savior of the Lionheart Kingdom, Cain, who had yet to truly appear?

The Night Demon had not dared to think this way before.

After all, high-level vampires were so terrifying, yet they were merely Cain’s servants... Cain was likely even stronger.

But now, he could no longer gauge Wen Xishu’s strength. It was too far off the charts.

Every time an enemy brought any kind of pressure, they were easily turned by Wen Xishu.

They appeared, they fell, no matter who they were, without exception.

He even began to wonder if perhaps Wen Xishu’s hypnosis was not a numerical anomaly, but rather a legendary... conceptual god?

Wen Xishu was also very curious—

Next, would Cain appear?

Would Cain appear to kill Edward, thereby fulfilling the cause of death written by the quill?

Or would Edward die at the hands of Dracula?

(I’ve had a lot to do during the day lately, hmm, the update schedule has become a bit strange... I will try to adjust it back to normal as soon as possible.)
