Chapter 328 Vientiane House of Cards
As we all know, the Theed Empire is the royal family and the Dracula family is the "blood clan".
Although the steam technology of this ancient empire, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is not as good as that of Omar, its foundation is no worse.
Almost all the extraordinary inheritances on the market today, including martial arts, martial arts, kendo, magic... the birthplaces of various schools are almost all in Sid.
The “Top Ten Legends” have changed countless names over the years, but there is one that has never changed, and that is the most mysterious one - "Lilith Dracula".
No one knows how long this woman, who is said to be the oldest member of the Dracula family, has lived, but at least she existed before the Omar Empire.
A thousand years old?
Maybe longer.
Vampires are long-lived, but not immortal.
Time will also erode their lifespan.
But high-level vampires have the ability to hibernate, allowing them to get through long "boring times".
The reason why Master Kavo is known as the "First of the Ten Legends" is not only because of his great strength, but also because the [Blood Ancestor] Lilith has been in hibernation for the past three hundred years.
The last time she was in hibernation, Kavo had not yet been born. The two had never met each other, and there was no question of who was stronger.
Because he has not appeared in the world for such a long time, people have almost forgotten about this "legendary vampire".
Now, she is awake.
…
The ability to "transform into a bat" is a special ability that only vampires at or above the prince level are qualified to master.
There are only three or two vampires in the entire Theed Empire who possess this ability.
The only female vampire is the [Blood Ancestor] Lilith.
No one expected that Omar's coup would attract this old monster.
What is even more unexpected is that in order to assassinate the people from Black Dragon City, three of the "Ten Legends" from the Sid Empire actually came.
With this kind of situation, even the assassination of Emperor Omar may not be possible.
In the garden outside the parliament hall, Ryan was stitching Metternich's neck and was temporarily unable to free his hands.
Besides, I can't leave.
Because they are now trapped in the illusion barrier of the [Great Illusionist] Friedrich.
Without breaking the barrier, it is impossible to move.
And at this moment, a group of hundreds of guards suddenly rushed out from some unknown compartment in the palace.
Old man Tust showed no courtesy to these guys who were obviously coming for them. He raised his sixteen-round "Vulcan Cannon" and started firing at them.
But... the strange thing was that although the bullets hit the guards' bodies and made a big hole, no blood splattered out.
Moreover, in the blink of an eye, the wounds healed automatically.
Upon further inspection, it was discovered that these were not the imperial palace guards at all, but the "Undead Legion" of the Theed Empire!
In the blink of an eye, they teleported to appear next to Tust's mecha.
The old man knew that the musket was useless, so he drew out a big black knife and swung his eight arms like a windmill.
Mechas are very effective against vampires that also use physical attacks.
The blood clan's steel claws that could easily tear steel plates were almost helpless against this iron lump covered in enchanted armor.
But the Deer God Armor killed them like grass.
Although the vampires were known as the "undead race", their bloodline abilities allowed them to heal ordinary wounds, but injuries such as "beheading" and "cutting off heads" could still be fatal.
However, the Deer God Mecha seemed a little weak in dealing with the [Blood Ancestor] Lilith.
The musket fired a burst of shots, and the charming woman was disintegrated into pieces of palm-sized bats, without suffering any harm at all.
The ability to "transform into a bat" gave her the ability to become immune to attacks in the house, just like an elemental body.
But at this moment, Ymir took action!
The royal rapier in her hand suddenly condensed into a layer of crystal clear frost, and the fighting spirit on her body began to burn like an ice flame, and large flakes of snow fell from the sky in an instant.
This is clearly the ultimate manifestation of the law of ice condensed to the extreme.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "crack", and the ground where she was standing suddenly cracked open.
The air around them suddenly rippled, and when I looked again, that beautiful figure had already shot out like a bullet!
In the sky, the charming woman looked at Ymir rushing towards her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said to herself: "I didn't expect that after only three hundred years of dormancy, your Spurgeon family has produced two amazing talents. In comparison, those guys in my Dracula family are really a bunch of trash..."
Transcendents who can advance to the legendary realm are rare even in the field warfare era thousands of years ago when there were no mechanical cities.
And now, two of them appeared in the Omar Palace.
One Andre and one Ymir.
Lilith felt the power of the law of ice in the air that made her blood freeze, and a solemn look appeared in her eyes.
Obviously, she also knew that the other party was well aware of the abilities of the vampires.
The range of cold air greatly limited her ability to "transform into a bat".
However, Lilith plans to fight with Ymir now.
Although she did not take this little girl who had just entered the legendary world seriously, if legendary masters really fought, it would not be easy to determine the winner.
And her intuition told her that the two young men on the ground were the targets that must be eliminated first!
How rich is the combat experience of this old monster who has lived for thousands of years?
She dodged Ymir's sword and teleported to appear in front of Ryan and Metternich.
An old ancestor of the blood clan is trying to launch a sneak attack on a third-level junior without caring about his dignity. Who can stop him?
At this time, no matter how fast Ymir is, it is still one step slower than teleportation.
She wanted to turn back to rescue them, but the time difference was enough for Lilith to kill Ryan and the other two who were still in a dream!
This is also the most important part of Sid's "foolproof" assassination plan.
Triple approach.
Assassin, illusionist, blood clan ancestor...
No matter who the target is, he must be killed!
…
"Tsk tsk... If your Black Dragon City wasn't a real headache for me, I wouldn't have the nerve to sneak attack you two juniors!"
Lilith snorted in her heart, and her hands turned into dark blue ghost claws.
When he grabbed it out, it was as if he had grabbed a real object, as if the void was cracked by his five fingers.
It seems that Ryan and the other two are doomed to die!
But even before the vampire ancestor could grab the target, his face suddenly changed as if he had sensed something!
"Such a strong sword energy!"
Lilith didn't even need to turn her head to look, she knew that the moment she made her move, an extremely terrifying sword energy had already slashed her side.
If she didn't stop, even if she could kill the two people in front of her, she would definitely be cut into two pieces by the sword energy.
Moreover... this is not ordinary sword energy at all!
The "sword intent" made her bloodline feel very depressed. It was like being burned by the sun, making her feel very uncomfortable.
For at least a thousand years, she hadn't felt such a strong crisis of death!
Who swung this sword?
Lilith's pupils suddenly shrank, and she instinctively teleported away to avoid the sword energy.
But even though the speed of teleportation was fast enough, the moment her figure disappeared, the sword energy still swept through her body like thousands of knives.
The next moment, hundreds of meters in the sky, Lilith looked at her cloak that was full of holes, and her face turned very ugly.
Although the sword did not hurt her body, it made her clearly experience the power of the sword.
The person coming must not be underestimated!
Then, she set her eyes on the sloppy swordsman who was walking slowly towards her not far away, twisting a large black knife in his hand.
This guy's appearance was ordinary, but the golden "waterfall of sword energy" behind him was very eye-catching. And there was a weird look on his face that was half solemn and half murderous.
This person is none other than [Sword of Justice] Guy Villiers!
"What kind of 'sword intent' is this? So weird..."
This ancestor of the blood clan who has lived for thousands of years must have seen all these amazing talents and sword intents.
But she had never heard of Guy's sword intent of "evil cannot prevail over good".
Lilith's eyelids twitched. The oppressive feeling that made her blood feel disgusted came from the sword intent of this swordsman.
In a blink of an eye, she looked at the big black knife in Guy's hand, and obviously recognized it. She was shocked again: "Evil Sword [Great Thousand Dark Night]? There is actually someone who can master this sword without being possessed by the devil?!"
How is it possible...
Lilith just felt that she had seen something that subverted her cognition for the first time, and she was a little confused.
Could it be that I have been in hibernation for too long and my brain has not fully recovered?
How come there is no mention of such a person in Black Dragon City in the intelligence?
Isn’t there a werewolf who is one of the “Top Ten Legends”?
The werewolf didn't see that now here comes an absurdly strong swordsman!
Moreover, there is no "magic solution" phantom, which obviously does not rely on the [Divine Power Crystal] to advance to the legendary extraordinary.
Forget about the guy who had descended with the "mysterious will" before...
Forget about the guy who can condense his fighting spirit to the extreme...
Now there is another swordsman like this?
On the contrary, the first Princess Omar who entered the Legendary Realm was the only normal Legendary Realm that Lilith thought of. Using [Divine Power Crystal] to advance to Legendary Realm, isn't this the way of advancement that has been used since ancient times?
Although there are rare geniuses who can comprehend the power level above the fifth level without relying on crystals...but it may take hundreds of years to see one!
What kind of era is this? Why are there so many "evil-level" young people appearing at the same time?
Is it that this era is different from hundreds of years ago, and it is easier to produce geniuses?
After a moment, Lilith thought of their "idiot" descendants of Sid and accepted the reality.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with this era, but that there’s something wrong with the people you meet.
Before she could think about it, Guy's sword energy came through the air again.
His "justice" can just restrain the vampires' "dark blood"!
…
The three legendary fighters Ymir, Tust and Guy stopped the Theed royal family's determined assassination attempt.
On the other hand.
There was also a lively fight in the parliament hall.
The troops from the two factions of the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince were fighting to the death without mercy.
Naturally, they also noticed the movements in the garden outside.
When they saw the legendary assassin [Night Ghost] Roscoe suddenly appear and attack Ryan, they all thought that Ryan was in great danger.
Unexpectedly, Ryan miraculously survived even though his head was chopped off.
Only then did he and his friends realize that the guy in the tuxedo was actually a mysterious extraordinary person with the ability to "replace lives."
When they saw that Princess Ymir was actually a "legend" who had touched the ceiling of the extraordinary power of time, they also thought that things would turn around...
But unexpectedly, Sid actually invited out the old vampire monster who had been dormant for hundreds of years.
Just when they thought that the group from Black Dragon City was going to be wiped out,
Unexpectedly, an incredibly strong swordsman appeared and stopped the Blood Ancestor.
There is also a terrifying "thunderbird" that is currently spitting out purple thunder in the sky above the garden...
No one in this world could possibly withstand the triple assassination tactics Sid arranged.
But they were resolved one after another in full view of everyone.
The few people in Black Dragon City revealed their jaw-dropping cards.
These Omar nobles only then realized how powerful the people coming from Black Dragon City this time were.
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince Mueller swallowed his saliva repeatedly, his eyes full of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't intend to make an enemy of Black Dragon City before..."
At the same time, he was also very happy.
Just now, he was worried that the Eighth Brother had colluded with Sid, and the situation would be very unfavorable to him. If these high-end fighters of Sid attacked the palace together, how bad would his situation be.
But I didn’t expect that those guys would become hostile to Black Dragon City.
He shouted, "Royal Guards, surround and kill the rebels who are colluding with Sid!"
…
Ryan and Metternich were trapped in a world created by the mental power of the Great Illusionist Friedrich.
At this moment, all kinds of terrifying creatures have appeared on the altar covered with runes, including the three-headed hellhound, griffin, behemoth, Titan dragon, cyclops, dragon...
Not only real creatures, but also creatures in myths and legends.
These phantom creatures possess a variety of abilities.
Magic, spirit, power, corrosion, annihilation...
If one method cannot kill the enemy, try another one. There is always a way to restrain it.
This is the power of this master of illusion.
In the fantasy world he created, he is "God".
He can create everything that is unfavorable to the enemy and resolve all factors that are unfavorable to himself.
The old man with a long red beard and a wizard hat finally showed up. He looked at Ryan and the others as if he was looking at a trapped beast struggling to survive.
At this time, Ryan finally stopped.
Metternich's broken neck was finally completely healed under his tireless treatment.
Metternich tried to twist his neck, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Hehe, Mr. Ryan really has a 'miraculous' healing ability. Speaking of surgical healing ability alone, I'm afraid no one in the world can match you."
Ryan shrugged noncommittally and said, "Mr. Metternich, I don't think our current situation is the right time to talk about this."
“That’s right.”
Hearing this, Metternich shrugged his shoulders, looking nonchalant.
He looked at the red-bearded old man opposite him, his eyes narrowed with a hint of coldness, and he muttered to himself: "Tsk tsk... this old guy underestimated me."
After a pause, he continued, "Just now the neck was not properly connected, so I felt a little restrained. Now, I can finally let go..."
…
[Great Illusionist] Friedrich looked at the two people, Ryan and the others, who he had not been able to kill for a long time, and then looked at the golden poker cards, and he also showed a hint of realization: "I thought, the one who can survive in my 'Infinite World' for so long, turned out to be a disciple of [Gambler] Kant..."
Metternich looked at the old legend who had killed his teacher, and said with a half-smile: "The teacher made a bet with you and lost his life. He told me that although you used some dishonorable means to win, I hope you will accept the defeat and ask me not to trouble you..."
Friedrich: “Oh?”
The smile in Metternich's eyes became more and more perverse, and he tilted his head and said: "But you came to my door, which makes it very difficult for me..."
Friedrich disagreed and said confidently: "You can only blame your bad luck for having to get involved with the guys from Black Dragon City. Today, I'm afraid your lineage of gamblers will be cut off in my hands."
"hey-hey……"
Hearing this, Metternich licked his lips, and his expression suddenly changed from calm to violent. His eyes were full of madness, and his momentum was getting higher and higher: "Then do you want to bet with me?"
"You have indeed inherited most of your teacher's abilities, and in some aspects you are even stronger. But..."
Friedrich shook his head, as if he was sure of winning, and said: "The abilities of your 'Gambler Lineage' may be incomprehensible to others. But to me, it is no secret. After all, I know the secret of your 'Joker Cards' very well. I didn't expect that a selfish gambler would actually use his own cards for others. Haha, if you had kept that trick just now, I might have been a little afraid of you... But you have already used the [Substitute Joker], what can you use to beat me?"
“…”
When Metternich heard this, the coldness in his eyes intensified.
He fell silent, as if he agreed with what the other person said, but also... seemed to be considering something else.
Ryan was listening to their conversation and frowned slightly.
He only learned about Metternich's abilities last night.
This [Substitute Clown] is also one of the ultimate abilities of the gambler lineage. It can save lives and kill enemies.
There are almost no people in this world who know his cards.
Because everyone who knew their "Joker" secrets were dead.
And the person in front of him seems to be a guy who is very clear about the abilities of the "Gambler Sequence" and is also a mysterious and extraordinary person.
What's worse is that, as he said, Metternich's [Substitute Clown] was used just now to save Ryan.
This means that Metternich lost his biggest trump card.
But unexpectedly, despite facing such a disadvantage, the squinty-eyed man's momentum not only did not show any signs of weakening, but instead his violent aura became even stronger.
He lowered the brim of his hat with his right hand to cover his face, and a strange laugh came from his throat.
“Hehehe…”
The next moment, a colorful striped cane appeared in his left hand like a magic trick.
When he looked up again, Ryan saw a clown face painted with funny pastels.
That big red nose, the messy hair, and the bloody grinning mouth...
The originally funny clown makeup, coupled with his hysterical and violent expression, gave people a creepy feeling.
"Really?"
Metternich looked at the red-bearded old man opposite him and said with a fierce smile: "Old fellow, then you should try my 'new card sequence' as well..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire magic pattern altar suddenly changed.
The magic patterns on the soles of his feet and the starry sky above his head suddenly turned into huge playing cards.
Each poker card is a hundred times larger than those magical beasts.
Those poker cards formed an endless and huge world, like a cage, enveloping them in this poker world.
Metternich grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said with a strange laugh: "Welcome to my world, 'House of Cards'!"
At this moment, Ryan saw the aura of this squinting eye, as if he was... a god!
