Chapter 167: Cornelia's Intelligence |
Countess Lilislina did not hesitate much. She turned around and started to flee like a weak girl trapped in fear.
Although she knew it was disgraceful for a noble Vampire Countess to react like this.
But if she didn’t run now, her fate would most likely be the same as the two meals she had just caught.
Not to mention the brute force girl who could create an air blast just by swinging a book.
The other two guys in the room also gave her a very bad feeling.
The person wearing the Get Rich mask exuded a strange sense of pressure.
And the person wearing the Red Center mask, although Lilislina couldn’t feel any aura of a strong person from him, and even felt that he was harmless.
But Lilislina knew that this kind of guy was often the most terrifying!
If she was at her full strength, she naturally wouldn’t be too afraid of these three.
At the same time, Cornelia’s figure also rushed out of the door like a demon.
Dekan and Morion quickly walked out of the lord’s bedroom.
However, they just stood there as if watching a play, with no intention of making a move at all.
Cornelia, chasing Countess Lilislina, held the murder book, her determined gaze locked on the countess' head, as if she would not give up until she hit it.
With such a guy chasing behind her, and getting closer and closer, a chill suddenly ran down the countess' spine.
She absolutely did not want to be hit by this guy with a book!
However, soon, the countess felt that her familiars had arrived.
“Quick, stop her!!”
With a command from Lilislina, several attacking black shadows emerged from the staircase connecting to the first floor of the mansion.
These few black shadows quickly protected Lilislina behind them.
Then they started to charge towards Cornelia.
They were the vampire familiars disguised as the lord’s mansion attendants.
Under Lilislina’s command, they all drew the weapons they carried. The men all had longswords, while the women had a pair of daggers with a blue glow on their blades, obviously both the longswords and daggers were coated with deadly poison.
When Cornelia saw that the situation was not right, she cleverly turned around and ran back.
She had carefully counted just now. The other side had a full five rank-six vampires. She couldn’t deal with them in a head-on battle at all.
Even though the rank-four Cornelia herself possessed the combat power of a rank-five.
Even with all her buffs active, including the epic-grade enhancement spell card 【Olive’s Ultimate Frenzy】 (greatly enhances physical performance for a short time), she could probably only briefly reach the combat power of a rank-six warrior.
At this time, she needed to hide behind Dekan and wait for him to come up with a solution.
“Don’t even think about escaping tonight!”
Countess Lilislina saw that the advantage had returned to her side, and let out a sharp cry with a sinister smile.
Although she didn’t know how these three had easily infiltrated the lord’s mansion.
But she knew that these three were not on the same danger level as the guys who had come to deliver her meal earlier!
She must deal with them tonight!
Otherwise, her plan would surely fall through!
And amidst Lilislina’s cry, the several attendants began to chase Cornelia, charging towards Dekan and Morion.
Their speed was extremely fast, and they soon turned into streaks of black shadows.
“Oh my, this is a bit troublesome.”
Dekan shook his head.
Along the way, they had used mental magic and poison magic to take down the guards, and Cornelia had used 【Witch’s Reward】 (breaks barriers) and her unique lock-picking skills to quickly infiltrate the lord’s bedroom.
Originally, they had only wanted to control the lord, and really didn’t plan to catch the boss in one go.
But of all the places for this boss to hide, she had to hide in the lord’s mansion.
According to Dekan’s line of thought.
To find the lurking vampire in the city-state most efficiently.
The first step was of course to have Morion replace the lord.
He didn’t expect this boss to have thought of the same thing.
As expected of a rank-six Shadow World, it had some tricks up its sleeve.
But here came the problem.
In the enemy’s headquarters, besides the weakened boss, there were also five elite monsters.
Although it wasn’t that there was no way to deal with them, the problem was that even if they could deal with these five elite monsters, it was very likely that this countess would escape.
After all, among the three of them, only Cornelia had active combat ability.
Dekan and Morion were both acrobatic supports who played defensively.
In the end, they still had to rely on Cornelia’s unparalleled strength to subdue the countess.
But it didn’t matter much.
They were always prepared to deal with any unexpected situations.
The current situation was also within the acceptable range.
After all, in Dekan’s line of thought, he would even consider the situation of suddenly encountering the Vampire Count while walking on the road.
So when he saw the countess in the lord’s mansion, Dekan was surprised, but not shocked.
To deal with these vampire familiars while also keeping this countess, only a simple step was needed.
Dekan looked at Morion.
Next, it was up to Morion’s bluffing.
Morion unhurriedly held his mask.
As if preparing to take it off and reveal his true face.
Countess Lilislina watched Dekan and Morion’s movements closely from a distance.
She wasn’t sure what these two wanted to do.
But she knew that right now, compared to the White Board girl, the real variables were with these two.
Morion’s mask gradually lifted, revealing his left eye.
His pupil had the indifference of an absolute superior looking down on all living beings.
As Countess Lilislina met Morion’s gaze, she could also feel more clearly that the formless pressure from Morion was becoming more and more obvious.
This pressure was not like that emitted by a rank-seven or rank-eight powerhouse, but another unknown level of aura.
As Morion gradually revealed his true face, Countess Lilislina’s eyes also widened, as if she had seen something incredible.
Morion finally lifted the mask by more than half, revealing his face, but he never completely took off the mask.
The face under the mask was sharp and handsome, heroic and extraordinary, but different from a masculine handsome man, he had a pair of phoenix eyes and translucent red pupils, making his overall temperament seem a bit sinister.
“Hehe.”
Morion chuckled twice, with a hint of mockery, and also seemed to contain the sorrow of hundreds of years.
This laughter, coupled with his cold attitude, made Countess Lilislina tremble all over.
“This… what’s going on…”
The countess sat down on the floor like a duck.
She also instinctively ordered her several attendants to stop their attack.
“Not going to continue offending me? Countess?”
Morion’s words were a question, but his tone was like a statement.
Like a judgment delivered by a superior to an inferior.
“No! I dare not! This is a misunderstanding!”
Countess Lilislina shouted in terror, quickly stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes, then bowed to Morion and lowered her head.
She was so flustered.
Because—
Morion’s appearance at this moment was exactly that of Marquis Roderick!
