The First Vampire

Chapter 668: 666 Fight_1

Colin stood in front of the window, the distant sounds of fighting growing closer and clearer, but his face didn’t betray any emotion.

His gaze was fixed directly on the night sky outside the window, yet his eyes showed no focus.

However, with the sound of a door being pushed open, Colin snapped back to reality.

“Prince Lexie,” Colin turned around, greeted the person with a faint smile, as if he had anticipated their arrival.

Lexie was quite surprised by Colin’s composure and paused for a moment before nodding and saying:

“Count Angler.”

“I wonder why Your Highness has come to see me at such a late hour,” Colin calmly gestured for Prince Lexie to sit down and even poured him a glass of water.

Prince Lexie didn’t sit down. He stood expressionless at the door and stated bluntly:

“I’ve come to kill you!”

After saying this, Prince Lexie paused for a moment, observing Colin’s reaction carefully.

But to his disappointment, Colin’s expression did not change at all, as if he had no idea that his life was being threatened—and by a Holy Knight at that.

With a faint smile, Colin asked:

“Your Highness, I am curious. Why do you want to kill me?”

“Don’t tell me that the death of Emperor Reinhardt has nothing to do with you. And why was the Central Army the most heavily damaged in the battle of the Luwal Valley?” Before Colin could defend himself, Prince Lexie shut him down, “There’s no use making excuses. It will only make me think less of you.”

Colin spread his hands and said: “So, I should just sit here and await death?”

Prince Lexie hesitated for a moment, and his tone became slightly softer:

“Considering the outstanding contributions you’ve made to the Empire, I can give you a way out, if you agree to three conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“First, divorce the Northern Duke and renounce the title and territory of the North; second, disband the Blood Knight Army; third, swear allegiance to the royal family. Rest assured, after you have pledged allegiance to the royal family, I will guarantee that you will be made a Marquis and receive the Crimson Flame Territory equivalent to your nobility.”

“I refuse,” Colin said without hesitation.

Prince Lexie’s conditions may seem as though they are meant to elevate Colin’s title, but in fact, they aimed to cut him off entirely from the power he currently holds and make him a vassal to the royal family.

They call it a vassal, but it’s really a slave.

Without sufficient power to back him up, Colin would simply be at the mercy of the royal family.

Even a fool wouldn’t agree to these terms.

“Will you not reconsider?” Prince Lexie’s tone turned cold again.

“No,” Colin replied decisively.

No sooner had he spoken than Lexie’s demeanor abruptly changed.

In the darkness, his eyes shone with golden light.

Colin was taken aback to suddenly find a sword made of holy light aimed right at his face, and he hadn’t even seen the Prince make his move.

Fortunately, he had been prepared. As soon as Prince Lexie had targeted him, the Holy Warrior who was his blood slave had rushed out from the shadows.

A gusty wind blew, and a piercing shriek echoed.

With a sharp look in his eyes, Prince Lexie quickly changed his attack.

Boom!

With a loud bang, two powerful beings from the Holy Field clashed head-on in front of Colin.

Circles of invisible ripples rapidly spread out, and the terrifying aftershock from the battle caused minute cracks to appear throughout Colin’s body.

Suppressing the shock within, he quickly retreated.

But even more shocked than him was Prince Lexie.

He thought that after getting Duke St. Gregorian out of the way he could completely manipulate Colin, but he never expected that Colin would have a Holy Field powerhouse by his side!

Moreover, it was a Holy Warrior!

The Troll Tribe only had one Holy Warrior, and that was Prince Otto.

But wasn’t Prince Otto clearly besieged and being killed by the Blood Knight Army on the Sky Ice Plain?

One doubt after another flickered in Prince Lexie’s mind, but his actions didn’t pause for a moment.

The platinum Holy Light on his long sword surged dramatically, paced crazily over the blade like a living creature, only to be instantly blocked by a surge of purple and black power.

The blood slave Holy Warrior, wielding a long blade, launched a storming attack on Prince Lexie, with a crazy posture of persisting to advance and not thinking about retreating, with only offensive moves and no defense in mind.

Prince Lexie was forced to retreat continuously, wiped out in blocking the onslaught.

This was not because Prince Lexie’s strength was inadequate, but because he could see that the Holy Warrior before him was truly fighting desperately.

He had encountered various opponents, experienced countless life-and-death fights, and dealt with many who staked their lives to fight.

But those were mostly bluffing, seemingly intimidating but the moment a sword aimed at their vital points, they would still play defense.

However, this Holy Warrior was indeed staking his life and fighting. He completely abandoned defense, focusing solely on attacking.

Prince Lexie tried several times to reverse the situation, but failed every time, always being on the edge of defense.

There wasn’t much difference in terms of strength between the two, but Lexie was completely suppressed in terms of momentum.

The Holy Warrior’s mad behavior reminded Prince Lexie of Emperor Reinhardt on the battlefield of the Luwal Valley.

At that time, that normally timid emperor had behaved in an unexpectedly fearless and mad manner.@@novelbin@@

Could it be… this Holy Warrior, like Emperor Reinhardt, had also been controlled by Colin Angler?

Yes, that must be it.

Otherwise, considering Colin’s identity as the destroyer of the Troll Empire, how could there possibly be a Holy Warrior who would die for him?

At this point, Prince Lexie realized that he would definitely not be able to kill Colin Angler today. On the contrary, if he wasn’t careful, he might even annihilate along with this puppet Holy Warrior.

With this thought, Prince Lexie lost his fighting spirit and turned to flee.

However, at the next moment, three armored men rushed in from outside the door, blocking his way.

“Get out of the way!”

Prince Lexie yelled in anger, and swung his sword.

A sharp sword light slashed down like moonlight, seemingly beautiful but carrying extreme danger.

Though, the three armored men who rushed out didn’t show any intention to evade.

Shi!

The fine gold armor seemed like paper mache in the face of this sword light, instantly falling apart.

The fierce sword light continued to penetrate deeper, almost chopping the three armored men in half at the waist.

A large amount of blood gushed out, yet they still blocked the doorway, even brandishing their weapons and attacking Prince Lexie.

Prince Lexie was in a hurry to parry, but at the same time, the attack from the Holy Warrior behind him also arrived.

The black blade, carrying the afterimage of tearing apart the space, hit Prince Lexie’s back.

Sizzle–

A large amount of golden blood sprayed into the sky, causing Colin, who was watching from the sidelines, to instinctively lick his lips.

Prince Lexie grunted, his eyes suddenly bursting with golden light, golden patterns crawled rapidly over his face, a terrorising aura sweeping out and knocking the three armored men blocking the door flying.

The golden sword, carrying hot flames, stabbed into the chest of the blood slave Holy Warrior at an eerie speed!

However, the next moment, the blood slave Holy Warrior did not retreat but advanced, letting the sword pierce his heart but at the same time, using his long blade to slash open the throat of Prince Lexie!
