The First Vampire

Chapter 719: 717 Legend_1

The South Gate of Huorong City.

Knight Logh walked slowly into the city, followed by troops of the Blood Knight Army continuously pouring into the city.

“How is the situation?”

“Didn’t catch up.” Knight Logh removed his helmet and said with some annoyance.

“Well, that guy is after all from the Holy Field, and he’s the most fleet-footed among them, haha.” The deputy officer, recalling that ever since Mr. Ji became a Holy Knight, he seemed to have been on the run, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “If this guy is hell-bent on running away, it’s not that easy to catch him.”

Knight Logh also laughed, then glanced at the mess in the city and said, “It seems that things really heated up in Huorong City after we left.”

...

“Yes. As expected by Duke, the Church and the Mages joined forces.” The deputy officer spoke disdainfully, “Unfortunately, they were weak and easily suppressed by the Duke!”

Knight Logh gave a faint smile, but did not comment since he knew very well that the battle was not that effortless.

While leading his army in pursuit of Mr. Ji, he witnessed the various unusual phenomena in Huorong City. Even from afar, he felt an extremely intense pressure which indicates the fierceness of the battle in the city at that time.

Therefore, he dared not pursue too far. He immediately gathered his army and returned, for fear of any accidents happening in the city.

Luckily, all was well in the end.

“Where is the Duke now?” Knight Logh walked a few steps then asked again.

“In the Church, I’ll take you there.”

“Alright.”

After they had taken a few steps, they noticed that the night sky over Huorong City suddenly brightened.

“Is it dawn already?”

Knight Logh looked up in confusion, feeling that today’s dawn arrived too quickly.

But immediately, he realized that this was not a normal day-night change.

The originally pitch-black night sky suddenly burst into brilliant light, as if skipping dawn and arriving directly at noon.

No.

That was the dazzling Holy Light which was even brighter than the midday sun!

It spread over the sky, covering everything.

All creatures under it couldn’t help but harbor an impulse to kneel and worship from deep within their hearts.

“A Divine Sign!”

“This is the Divine Sign of the Supreme Lord!”

“Praise the Supreme Lord!”

…

The members of the Temple Knight Regiment were the first to react. They prostrated themselves on the ground and prayed loudly.

Then, all, be they commoners, nobles, or soldiers, couldn’t help but kneel and pray loudly.

…

In the Church.

Colin slowly lifted his head from the corpse of Emperor Gana, with golden blood still lingered around the corners of his mouth.

He could clearly feel that every cell in his body was cheering as Emperor Gana’s blood entered his body.

It seemed as if after a prolonged drought, every droplet of rain was greedily absorbed.

Even his ethereal soul was nourished by the mysterious power and was becoming stronger at an astonishing speed.

For a moment, Colin felt as if he was standing at the top of the world, overlooking and controlling everything before him.

Dense golden patterns crawled all over his body, and a pair of golden wings slowly opened, filling almost the entire hall.

The Holy Light descending from the sky penetrated the dome of the church, pouring down on Colin, merging with him.

At this moment, the Holy Light was Colin, and Colin was the Holy Light.

Unsurprisingly, countless images flashed again in Colin’s mind.

In a daze, Colin found himself standing at the top of the Holy Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain were countless cheering citizens.

A strong Holy Light descended from the sky, enveloping him.

Within the Holy Light, a flight of stairs abruptly appeared in front of him.

The other end of the stairs seemed to have no end, slanting upwards into the heavens.

Immersed in the grand chorus of hymns, Colin found himself climbing up the steps.

Away from the human world, passing through the clouds, the steps are endless, as if leading to heaven itself.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but he couldn’t hear the cheers of the crowd anymore.

Looking around, his view was filled with dazzling holy light.

Pure and pristine, but also gradually monotonous, even deathly silent.

Finally, Colin reached the end of the stairs.

In the vast emptiness, stood a golden throne.

Looking at this familiar scene, a slight wave washed over Colin’s heart.

The next moment, Colin found himself sitting on the throne.

In an instant, countless holy lights condensed in front of the throne, eventually forming an angel-like figure.

He was shrouded in an intense, dazzling light, blinding to anyone who looked at him.

“Gana St. Lorenzo.”

The angel spoke.

At this moment, Colin was certain that he had indeed seen this illusion scene before!

Sure enough, the angel held out a crown with both hands and said to Colin:

“On behalf of the Supreme Lord, I crown you!”

That’s it!

Colin was sure he had indeed seen this scene before.

Moreover, he knew that what was about to happen was that Emperor Gana did not accept the angel’s crowning.

Sure enough, Colin found himself holding a sword.

The sword was engulfed in a fierce fire, emanating a bone-chilling heat, as if it intended to incinerate all the evils of the world.

The tip of the sword pointed straight at the angel’s chest!

“Gana St. Lorenzo, do you know what you’re doing?”

“I do,” Colin’s tone carried unwavering resolve, “My only wish is for the world to see your true faces!”

Just as he finished speaking, the holy light that filled his sight suddenly raged.

The last time the illusion got to this point, Colin could no longer see anything.

But this time, perhaps due to advancing to the realm of legend, Colin could finally see clearly.

The crown in the angel’s hand disappeared in an instant, replaced by a giant sword made of holy light.

An overwhelming pressure swept over, for a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was rejecting Colin.

However, Colin, or Emperor Gana, didn’t flinch, even though he was facing an angel, a deity!

Boom!

Colin launched into the air from the throne, charging resolutely at the angel in mid-air.

At the same time, the angel’s giant sword also thrust forward!

Shick!

Neither of them dodged.

Colin’s sword pierced the angel’s chest, but at the same time, the angel’s giant sword also punctured Colin, crushing his heart into pieces.

But seeing the golden blood flowing from the wound of the angel, Colin suddenly burst into laughter:

“What makes you any different from me?”

These words seemed to enrage the angel, his surrounding holy light raged once again.

But Colin suddenly saw a trace of green light appearing in the void behind the angel–

Silent, but noticeable amidst the pervasive golden light!

The green light expanded abruptly and finally burst like a bubble, from which a delicate figure shot out!

Sharp long ears, a magnificent face, and azure hair flowing like the sea.

It was the female elf he had seen in the Illusion Realm during his last promotion to the Holy Field!

“Elan Seraph!”
