nVan Helsing had summoned his courage to come.

nAlthough he used to deal with these monsters in the past, they were mostly alone, and to be honest, he had no confidence this time.

nIn addition to the four-hundred-year-old vampire, there was that demon lurking in the dark. And either of them was very difficult to deal with.

nHe did not know what the outcome would be this time, so he went alone without Carl. He only asked Carl to pay attention to the news, and then Carl would inform the church should he die.

nHowever, after entering the castle and finding Dracula, he realized that matters were much more serious than he thought. He saw the bodies of Anna and Viken. In the two hours that he was delayed, the Villelis family had perished!

nAt this moment, amid the thunder and lightning, Van Helsing felt immense pressure. It seemed to be from the attention God paid here.

nIn the castle, Dracula was annoyed. He had launched an attack on Roy and was easily flung away once again. When he climbed up from the rubble, he found that Roy had disappeared. Although he could still smell the light demonic aura, showing that Roy was still in the castle, Dracula felt uneasy about Roy’s abnormal actions.

nAnd without further ado, Van Helsing appeared. At his first sight of Van Helsing, Dracula recognized his old enemy at once. He finally understood that Roy was going to let him deal with Van Helsing!

n“We finally meet again, Gabriel!” Dracula did not panic at all as he smiled courteously at Van Helsing.

nUsually, how would a man like him who had transacted with a demon and turned into a monster dare to speak to the legendary Archangel Gabriel in such a tone? Dracula was not pretending to be courageous. He knew that although Van Helsing’s background was great, he was actually only one of the many incarnations of Gabriel! Not only that, but he was one of the weaker incarnations.

nOtherwise, how could Dracula have lived for so long and not died four hundred years ago?

n“What did you call me? Van Helsing was confused, as he had no recollection of his identity.

nDracula told Van Helsing about his life experience and his true origin, the incarnation of an angel who lost his wings…

nHowever, Van Helsing did not care about his true identity. He walked to Anna’s body, gently reached out to close her eyes, and coldly asked Dracula, “Did you kill them?

n“No, no, no!” Dracula shook his finger. “I won’t claim the credit of others. The one who killed them is the true demon! You should also be able to smell that he’s in the castle and probably somewhere observing us…”

nSpeaking of which, Dracula was very depressed. Roy was possibly the strangest demon he had ever seen! If it were other demons facing a noble soul, they would not have been able to restrain their greed nor kill Anna so simply. But yet the demon Roy did just that.

nAnd now, this demon hid without a word, leaving him here to face Van Helsing. Dracula could not fathom at all what this demon wanted to do. His actions were all so mysterious…

nVan Helsing carefully smelled the scent in the air. But unfortunately, with the rain pouring outside, the smell of rainwater had filled the castle with the strong wind blowing into it, diluting the smell. All he could only smell was the faint demonic aura emitting was from the rubble in the corner.

nThat pile of rubble was left behind by the unlucky Lucius, who was hit by Dracula when Roy flung him…

nThe demon lurking in the dark made shivers run down Van Helsing’s spine, yet all he could do was to take a deep breath. He suddenly pulled out the repeating crossbow hidden behind his back and fired at Dracula!

nSwish Swish! One after another, silver crossbow arrows flew at Dracula. Dracula quickly turned into a vampire the moment Van Helsing started. Van Helsing continuously adjusted the crossbow to tail Dracula as he flew around, but he was always a step too slow, and the arrows missed him by a bit each time.

nAfter a while, the crossbow in his hands made a clicking sound. It had run out of arrows! Van Helsing instantly threw the crossbow away, drew out his pistol, and started firing!

nDracula, who was flying around, was shot by Van Helsing’s bullet. The pure silver bullet sunk into his body, causing Dracula to roar in pain. But Van Helsing’s pistol was also swept out of his hands by Dracula.

nThe bullet sunk into his body was slowly squeezed out. Dracula extended his claws, grabbed Van Helsing’s neck, pulled him right in front of his eyes, and bellowed, “Do you think that the Villelis family has not tried using these things? How ridiculous!”

nAfter that, he mustered all his strength and flung Van Helsing!

nDracula was not actually that strong. At least compared to Roy, he could not resist. However, facing Van Helsing, his strength was frightening. This was the essential difference between monsters and humans. Van Helsing was hurled directly into that pile of rubble in the corner.

nWhile dust filled the air, Van Helsing only felt the bones in his entire body hurting. However, to his surprise, someone else was in more pain than him!

nBefore he could stand up, he heard a weak voice. “Help… Help me…”

nTurning his head, he found Lucius. Lucius’s current condition was not good. His right chest had collapsed, and a broken rib penetrated his lungs. Blood foam was constantly pouring from his mouth.

nHearing Lucius calling for help, Van Helsing frowned and ignored him. Why would he save someone that transacted with a demon?

nHe climbed up and took out from his pocket a wheel-shaped blade that had the emblem of the Knights of the Holy Order embossed on it. The wheel-shaped blade started spinning, and Van Helsing held it while lunging at Dracula.

nWaving the blade, Van Helsing launched his attack. Dracula seemed to be wary of that blade and dodged twice before accidentally being cut in his abdomen.

nBut that was all. Although Dracula was injured, Van Helsing suffered a vicious kick and went flying.

nDracula’s wound on his abdomen began healing slowly, and with a cruel smile, he slowly walked toward Van Helsing.

nVan Helsing bent over and coughed violently, but when Dracula came closer, he suddenly took out a cross and pressed it against Dracula’s chest. The moment it came into contact with Dracula, blazing flames erupted, burning his entire body, leaving him screaming in agony.

nAs the flames slowly dissipated, the cross actually softened, and Dracula’s screams gradually died down. With his devilish eyes, he stared proudly at Van Helsing.

nThese commonly used monster-hunting tools could only inflict pain on Dracula at most. But wanting to use these things to kill Dracula was too naive…

nWith a soft sound, Dracula stretched out a finger. His long, sharp nail easily pierced through Van Helsing’s collarbone and pressed him against the wall.

n“Hahaha. My long-cherished wish of four hundred years is finally coming true today!” Dracula said to Van Helsing, “I said that I would kill you one day, Gabriel!”

nHiding in the dark and watching all of this, Roy really had the urge to roll his eyes when he heard Dracula’s words. If you can make a move, don’t delay! Those villains who died because of talking too much are numerous. How can you not have learned from their lessons?

nAs expected, maybe because Dracula placed his face too close to Van Helsing, Van Helsing, who was still screaming in pain a moment ago, suddenly took something out with his other hand and stuffed it into Dracula’s wide-open mouth.

nIt was the bottle of holy water!
