Chapter 146: Violent Via

The three of them becoming cautious and wary naturally fell into Gune's eyes.

Being suddenly locked onto would make anyone wary and cautious, after all, no one knew if a powerful curse might suddenly emerge from the shadows.

They were wary, but Gune had no need to be.

Following the guidance of the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse, Gune frantically unleashed Puppet Secret Threads toward the right leg of the tall vampire standing in front of Via.

Dense Puppet Secret Threads coiled around the ankle of that right leg.

Using the Magic Blade Trick Curse would certainly be powerful in lethality.

But those two vampires were too fast; dodging the Magic Blade Trick Curse in the blink of an eye was not difficult.

If careless, the Magic Blade dodged by the vampire might accidentally injure Via, since the three were fighting at close quarters.

On the contrary, against such fast and agile vampires,

Puppet Secret Threads, a curse with superior control, were the most effective means to deal with them.

“Damn it.”

When he clearly felt a large number of strange things winding around his right ankle, the fourth-rank vampire expert “Francis” immediately sensed trouble.

The strange threads coiled so quickly that by the time he reacted, seven or eight threads had already penetrated deep into his leg.

He swiftly retreated, while the short sword in his hand burst with blood-colored light and slashed at the threads on his leg.

With one slash,

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three threads were easily severed.

“Indeed, a fourth-rank expert is after all a fourth-rank expert. Even my Puppet Secret Threads, already at the second level, can be sensed and easily cut by him.”

“Pity, your slashing force against these highly concealed Puppet Secret Threads is ultimately not strong enough.”

Francis, who had severed three Puppet Secret Threads with one strike, showed no joy; instead, his face grew stiffer and uglier.

Because, at the same time he cut those three strange threads,

over ten more strange threads had continued to coil around in that brief moment.

He couldn't cut them faster than they came.

Moreover, there were many such bizarre threads scattered densely around.

Now, the source energy of the entire Sog Ruins City was in turmoil, which masked the slight fluctuations of the caster's spells.

In a short time, he simply couldn't determine where the enemy was hiding.

In this brief moment of hesitation,

“Ring!”

A gleam of cold light pierced through from behind him.

The sharpness of Via's spirit weapon blade—let alone vampires who were not known for defense—even a meat-shield knight would find it hard to withstand the penetrating kill of this genius spirit weapon contractor's blade.

With a light tap of his foot, Francis was about to leave his spot.

However, this time he failed.

His upper body moved, but his right foot seemed welded to the ground.

Even with his utmost burst of source energy, he couldn't budge half a step.

“It's those damned strange threads.”

Angry and terrified, Francis tried desperately to lower his body to avoid the sword strike from behind, but it was already too late.

Chi!

A sword easily pierced his right shoulder.

Under normal circumstances, even with such a severe injury, he could still escape.

But now, with his right foot welded in place, he was a complete sitting duck.

“Ring!”

The destructive power within the spirit blade lightly twisted, and Francis's entire right arm and shoulder were instantly shredded.

Then the blade slashed downward.

“Chi la!”

The upper half of his body fell from his torso.

“Damn bastard.”

The upper half of Francis's body did not die immediately, but he was certainly not going to survive.

Behind Via, the vampire Vlad, who had intended to ambush, saw Francis instantly dismembered.

Without any hesitation, he rolled backward, transformed into a bat the size of a palm, and quickly flew away close to the ground.

His escape was quite decisive.

Facing Via alone, he was essentially doomed.

With a mysterious caster hidden in the shadows, if he fled even a little slower, he would be dead for sure.

The fourth-rank vampire turned into a bat was cunning; it turned a corner close to the ground and disappeared into a small alley.

This made Gune give up on further pursuit with spells.

“He fled fast enough, like a rabbit!” Gune rubbed his brow.

“Don't kill me, I'll tell you anything.”

At this moment, Francis, looking at the murderous Via, quickly spoke.

Their vampire vitality was quite strong; if the body was severed, it could still survive if reattached and a potent recovery potion drunk.

Unfortunately, Via clearly had no intention of letting him live.

She raised her foot.

“Bang!”

The fourth-rank vampire's head was crushed by Via like a watermelon under her foot.

“What a violent woman,” Gune thought to himself.

This Via, who usually liked reading Mary Sue steam knight novels, showed no mercy when killing.

Just as Gune stepped out from the corner, Via immediately looked over.

“You?”

Seeing it was Gune, Via was startled.

Then, Via scanned Gune up and down.

The chainmail on Gune was too conspicuous.

One might mistake Gune for a knight.

“How did you get out?”

“If I didn't, I'd be dead in Deep爵 Castle,” Gune shrugged.

“You... was that place ambushed too?”

“Mm,” Gune nodded lightly.

Via quickly surveyed the surroundings and said, “Now is not the time for chatting. Follow me.”

As Via moved, Gune followed closely.

“Teacher and the others are chasing those strong members of the Human-Faced Flower Sect.”

“I was held up by those two vampires. Now that I'm free, I need to go assist Teacher and the others; the battle there is intense.”

“Is it Melesa and them?” Gune asked in a low voice.

“Yes, and Melesa is the core they protect.”

“Melesa.”

Gune couldn't help but feel his heart pound violently.

“Finally found you.”

“The Human-Faced Flower Emperor is a terrifying existence at the lord level. Once it grows up, killing it will be far too difficult.”

“And according to the information we've received, Melesa is very favored by the Mother Goddess of the Human-Faced Flower Sect.”

“The Mother Goddess of the Human-Faced Flower Sect is a terrifying evil god from the stars.”

“Many strong individuals have died at the hands of the Mother Goddess of the Human-Faced Flower Sect.”

“Melesa is so favored by the Mother Goddess, most likely because Melesa has something very special. Perhaps Melesa will become a terrifying existence at the ‘Legendary Lord’ level.”

“Today, we must kill Melesa in the Sog Ruins City.”

“Letting her escape would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountains.”

The murderous intent in Via's voice was especially fierce.

“She won't escape.”

Gune, accompanying her, secretly clenched his fists. The Death God Beast blood within him surged, and his killing intent swelled.

Today, no matter what, Gune would kill Melesa.

Whether to avenge his father or to eliminate these wantonly terrorizing evil god cults.

The Human-Faced Flower Sect's involvement in the sabotage actions of aliens and heretics had already attempted to assassinate Gune more than once.

Since the enemy wanted to eliminate Gune so badly, Gune naturally needed to retaliate with even more brutal means, launching a destructive counterattack against the enemy.
