As Lucius took out that sniper rifle, he focused on dealing with the bullets from the gun in Luciusâs hand, and how to shoot him . But, when he pulled the trigger, he realized that Lucius hadnât fired at all!
Instead, Luciusâs body turned into a puddle of blood and disappeared in front of him . His rifle fell to the ground . The bullet filled with holy water shot back into the wall .
âYou liar!â
Lucius didnât want to be blasted by holy water! It wouldnât be fun if they faced one-on-one or gun-to-gun, western cowboy style . In a flash of lightning, Luciusâ figure appeared behind the soldier .
So fast! This time it was him who was surprised, obviously, when they were in the manor a few hours ago, Luciusâs speed couldnât keep up with his speed .
But now⌠their speed was on the same level .
Lucius punched the nano-armored soldier hard . He, too, reacted quickly, tossing aside his heavy gun and started to retreat!
He ran away?
No, itâs obviously a trapâŚbut, so what if itâs a trap?
Lucius followed until he broke through a few mechanical gates and followed the nano-armored soldier as he ran into a giant warehouse . After Lucius stepped into this warehouse, the warehouse, which originally was dimly lit, suddenly became bright .
The smell of smoke permeated the entire warehouse . The soldier wearing nano-armor stood right in the middle, and at some point, a gun was added to his hand, aiming at Lucius .
âOh yeah⌠Itâs all felt deja vu . Is everyone here preparing a big Christmas dinner?â
Lucius scanned the warehouse .
There were so many gun muzzles pointing at him as if all the guns in the world had been gathered there . Pistols, sniper rifles, automatic rifles, machine guns, etc . The soldiers in a uniform set up their defense fortress here, weapons ready in hand, waiting for Lucius . It looked like they had been waiting for Lucius for a while now . There were about one hundred and twenty-three people .
They all must be the leftover people whoâre capable of fighting in the entire base . They gathered all the weapons and ammunition that they could find within the base here . There was only one target to shoot, to kill .
That target was Lucius!
âAm I supposed to put my hands up and surrender, professor Ye?â\nBeing exposed to these live-harvesting weapons, it was as if Lucius was naked in front of them . Lucius looked up at the figure, wearing a lab coat and holding a crutch, standing at the back of the entire array .
Ye FushengâŚ
âItâs no use pretending to be strong . â Ye Fusheng stared at Lucius . Through the surveillance camera, he had been watching Lucius from the time he started his killing feast in the base . Ye Fusheng tried to identify his weakness, and felt lucky enough to find them!
âThe reason why youâre not afraid of bullets is because you can turn yourself into blood! But the bullets inside Lieutenantâs gun right now were rapid freeze bullets!â
The Lieutenant that Ye Fusheng was referring to was the soldier wearing the nano-armor .
Lucius had twice fought the Black Watch and dodged the bullets through his ability to turn his body into the blood . So why did the vampire dodge? If the bullets couldnât hurt him, he shouldnât have dodged them . Thatâs why Ye Fusheng came to a conclusion .
âI donât understand how you were able to come back alive, even with all those injuries, but itâs understandable that rats have a hard life! But nowâŚâ
With a wave of Ye Fushengâs hand, all the soldiers around him lifted their guns and pulled the trigger . Cold steel clashing sound echoed throughout the warehouse .
âAll I have to do is command my soldiers to fire thousands of bullets blessed with holy water at you! Itâs absolutely a nightmare for a vampire . You might recover, yes . But not from these many bullets that ripped through your body . In order to resurrect, your body needs to be safe in one piece, right? Thatâs why you were afraid of guns . Thatâs why you hide by turning your body into blood!â
âItâs all within my prediction . Die you monster! Iâll show you what happens when you underestimate human intelligence!â
Or so he thought . He thought he was winning, and his enemy lost . But when he looked at Lucius again, he found out that he was smiling . It was strange for someone who was in a dire situation to smile as if he was excited about something .
Shit! Ye Fusheng hated that kind of smile! Vanityâs a great emotion . Maybe for humansâŚ
âHuman intelligence, you say? Right . Professor Ye, humans, are indeed such horrible creatures . Itâs only a matter of time before the weapon you invented kills you!â
Lucius spread out his hands as if he was welcoming the bullets .
âLetâs try it then, human! Hold the weapon you call the firearm and pull its trigger! Shoot at me! Shoot bullets that could easily claim a human life!â
âAim at my heart, my brain . Go on! Shoot anywhere you like!â
âShoot! Shoot!â His scarlet eyes and the sound of Lucius repeating these words on his lips echoed inside the mind of everyone present in the room like a terrible nightmare . His voice eroded bit by bit to everyoneâs sanity and brought fear to them .
âShoot!â\nâShit! Youâre going to get yourself killed! Attack!â
Ye Fusheng couldnât endure the way Lucius laughed out loud with ease, even though he was clearly in a dire situation! Everyone couldnât endure Luciusâs provocation either, and at the moment the order was given, everyone pulled their deadly triggers . Guns spat out tongues of fire into a bullet storm that aimed at Lucius .
Fear was an emotion that every human could relate to, but it would diminish once the humans had something to rely on, just like a gun in their hand . By holding it in their hands, they possessed power .
The power to kill!
âAaaaahhhhh!!!â
The soldiers had completely lost their minds and were aiming at where Lucius stood . Lucius stood still while countless bullets went through his body like a mindless puppet . Bullets sliced through every part of his body, breaking his flesh, splattering blood everywhere . His brain and heart were destroyed to pieces under the rain of bullets . The power of hundreds of guns firing at one target in unison was not a joke, let alone defenseless target!
Soon, the guns ran out of ammo . When the guns ran out of ammunition, the round of shooting finally stopped . But there was someone who didnât stop .
âDie!! Die!!â
One of the soldiers completely lost his mind, he still fired with the gun in his hand .
âSoldier! Stop! Target is confirmed dead! Soldier!â
No matter how much the Lieutenant tried to dissuade him, the soldier was one of the lucky people who survived after witnessing Luciusâ killing spree .
âShit!â
The Lieutenant punched him in the face to stop his frantic shooting . He fell to the ground and covered his face, his teeth were chattering, and his speech was slurred .
âSirâŚheâs laughing!â The soldierâs eyes overflowed with tears, his body couldnât stand up at all .
âLaughing? Who?â
âThat monster!!!â
He could clearly see that he wasnât the only one, as everyone else saw it tooâŚ
What was Luciusâ expression as the bullets ran through the monsterâs body, and the metal storm tore through it, dismembering his body bit by bit?\nIt wasnât worry, not even fear . It was a smile .
A smile that made everyone present trembled from the bottom of their heart .
âI canât stop firing, sirâŚâ he held the machine gun in his hands, âOr elseâŚor else heâllâŚâ
âItâs over, soldier! The monster is dead!â
Ye Fusheng couldnât bear to see the soldierâs cowardly act . Luciusâs body had turned into a mass of shredded flesh, completely losing its human-like appearance . Even though the vampireâs regeneration ability was incredible, it would be impossible to resurrect in this state!
But was it true?
He was laughing . The only person in the room that could laugh! A laugh that everyone presented in the room could hear!
âGo ahead⌠shootâŚâ hearing the laughter, the soldierâs eyes widened, his hand couldnât hold his gun properly .
âCanât kill⌠himâŚThe monster⌠we canât kill him! You canât kill him! All of them will be killed⌠all of them . . heâll kill all of them!â
Bang!
Ye Fusheng raised his pistol in his hand . Mercilessly shot the soldier who had lost his mind . The soldier fell on to the ground, fear still crept on his face . His words represented the real thought of many people there .
The corpse that had just been ravaged by the bullets had turned into shredded flesh and turned into blood . The blood began to reform into the shape of a human bodyâŚ
What kind of monster was he?! Ye Fusheng gritted his teeth and stared intently at the moving blood!
âArmor-piercing bullets, bombs, silver bullets filled with holy water shot through my heart, shot through my brain, amputated my limbs, shredding my flesh and blood torn apart⌠Is that it? Itâs over already? Thatâs all you got?â
âItâs not enough at all! Humans!â
The blood spilled, showing an unharmed Lucius .
âObviously not enough⌠whatâs wrong? Havenât you killed many people with the guns in your hands?â
âBabies, women, teenagers, old people, enemy soldiers, soldiers of your country, criminals, civilians!â
âWith the guns in your hands, didnât you shoot them one by one without mercy?â
Lucius had absorbed memories from the blood of Black Watch soldiers and knew everything they had done .
âSo go ahead and kill me! Iâm your target! All you have to do is pull the trigger and aim like you normally would . â
âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs with that surprised face?â
Lucius stepped forward and looked at the petrified crowd .
âAh⌠I see . In your perception, the guns in your hands are absolutely capable of killing any life . One bullet for one life! Thereâs nothing you canât kill! What a fragile lifeâŚâ
âIn that caseâŚâ scarlet liquid gathered on Luciusâs hand . He cracked a slight smile, âThen Iâll do it . Someone has to perform on the stage at a Christmas party, right? You guys are done performing, so⌠itâs my turn now!â
âShoot! Attack! What are you stopping for? Nothing is unkillable! Itâs all in my prediction!â
Ye Fusheng was the first to recover from the shock, and he immediately ordered everyone to attack again . The sound of raging bullets rang out once again .
Blood splattered all over Luciusâs body, but it didnât affect his movement! The vampire species were faster than humans! Much faster! With a flash of scarlet light, Lucius broke into the line forged by the soldiers . Grabbing the nearest soldier, he pinned him up by the neck and lift him up .
âDid youâŚknow?â
Blood wrapped around Lucius, deflecting the bullets for him .
âRather than just killing you with your own blood, I prefer the feeling of tearing your bodies apart with my own hands!â
âDonât!!! StopâŚ!!!â The soldier who had been choked by Lucius struggled .
Lucius squeezed his hand tight, and blood splattered all over his face . Without any hesitation, another headless body fell on the ground .
âItâs time to move on to the main meal . â Lucius smiled at everyone with blood splattered on his face . He softly spat out a few words as his lips parted .
