Suddenly, I recaNed the skull-headed vampire, Lee, from the amusement park.
Could Hubson be talking about him?
After I thought about it carefully, I figured my guess was right. He was the only vampire who had come into close contact with me; not only did he spill his tainted blood on me, but he even used my body for experiments in an attempt to take control of me.
And perhaps most importantly, the runes he drew were the same as Hubson’s.
It seemed that Lee had a similar power to Hubson, although the latter was much more powerful.
Lee had bitten me and sucked my blood. I was on the verge of being turned, but fortunately, Rufus saved me in time. Otherwise, I’d probably be the lowest-ranking slave of the vampires by now.
I still shuddered at the thought of three different forces raging inside of me.
It had turned me into a stupid girl who did some foolish things, albeit briefly.
Was it because Lee bit me that I was able to resist Hubson’s powers? Otherwise, why was Hubson soangry?
I sneered in secret. It seemed that some good came out of my previous suffering.
Hubson was still losing his mind, refusing to accept reality as though it was too humiliating. He buried his head in his hands and roared, “A worthless half-blood loser! How dare he possess my bloodline? I should’ve strangled him the day he was born!”
Noreen broke into a smirk and began to gloat. “What’s wrong with having mixed blood? It’s so much stronger than pure blood.”
“Shut up, Noreen! Mixed blood is the greatest shame for any family! Mixed-bloods are the lowest of the low. They don’t have the right to call themselves vampires!”
Even until now, Hubson still acted lofty and elitist, believing that a pure lineage was superior to everything else.
“Those mixed-blood bastards are just as bad as rats in a godforsaken sewer. To be alive is already a privilege for garbage like them. Yet he actually thought he could restrain me with my own bloodline? How foolish!” Hubson was practically delirious at this point, saliva spewing as he shouted. I didn’t fully understand what he said, but I could guess that Lee was his illegitimate child and that only a few people knew about it.
“He has been hiding all these years! This whole time, I thought he had already died at the hands of a pureblood. I never thought he’d do this!”
Even the arrogant Noreen couldn’t stand his ramblings anymore. “Enough with the pureblood supremacy. You only have yourself to blame for not controlling your dirty desires! You old bastard, you’ve lived for hundreds of years yet you’re still so narrow-minded. It’s ridiculous!”
“You know nothing, you old hag! My family has suffered a lot thanks to those bastard hybrids. I swear I’ll capture that son of a bitch! I’ll fucking crucify him!”
Hubson roared like a madman.
Noreen rolled her eyes and chuckled arrogantly. “Hubson, you haven’t changed at all. You’re still so stubborn and ridiculous.”
Even I had to admit that Noreen was right; Hubson was being ridiculous. It turned out that vampires placed even more importance on a pure lineage than werewolves. Their strict hierarchical system had likely caused the demise of many vampires.
And it was likely because of this that the vampire community had always suffered from internal strife, with constant conflicts among various clans. Thus, despite the vampires occupying large territories, their population only dwindled.
I had no interest in listening to Hubson’s nonsense any longer. Taking advantage of his loss of composure, I quietly activated the power within me and struck him while he was distracted.
Having been caught off-guard, Hubson wasn’t able to dodge my attack in time.
He coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“How dare you !” he roared.
I snorted in response. “You talk too much!”
The vampires lurking in the dark saw what happened and instantly swarmed towards me, unleashing various powers upon me.
Fortunately, I turned into a wolf and quickly dodged their attacks in time. The werewolf soldiers guarding outside also joined the fight.
The whole palace turned into hell on earth. The pungent smell of blood filled the air and pained cries echoed everywhere.
But I didn’t have the time to care about that. I was too focused on attacking Hubson, delivering deadly blows to prevent him from getting close to Beryl.
Despite how hard I fought, Hubson refused to back down. He raised his hands above his head and summoned more blood, transforming it into thorny whips that lashed at me.
The old vampire had gone mad. His desperation made him rash, and his sudden ruthlessness caught me off guard.
My body twisted in pain with each lash of the thorny whip. I felt as though I was being burned alive, reminiscent of the time when Lee splattered me with his dirty blood at the amusement park.
I wasn’t afraid of death, but I couldn’t help but fear unbearable pain. I didn’t want to experience such a thing again.
But for Beryl’s sake, I was willing to sacrifice anything even if it meant turning my flesh into ashes.
I knew that the second Hubson had a hold of Beryl, he’d kill her without hesitation.
Just then, I heard the shrill shriek of a child. “Mommy, help! A bad guy’s trying to bite me!”
I turned my head and saw that a blonde vampire had somehow approached Beryl’s side without anyone noticing, his fangs bared and ready to strike in the next second.
At that moment, I didn’t give a damn about anything else. I threw myself onto Beryl’s body and grabbed the vampire’s jaw with one hand. With a sudden twist, I heard the sickening sound of bones cracking. The vampire shrieked in pain, tears streaming down his face and dribbling down his now dislocated jaw.
I sneered and tossed him aside ruthlessly.
“Good job, Sylvia! That’s it. You’d better protect me. Don’t let Hubson got to me, or else Beryl will also die. You don’t want to let her die, do you?” Noreen reverted to her voice. Now I knew that she had only used Beryl’s voice to take advantage of me again.
But I had no choice but to set aside my hatred for her and do as she say.
Ignoring Noreen’s bullshit, I focused my attention on Hubson. The thorny whips he made had become thicker and heavier, striking me relentlessly. Although there were no visible wounds on the surface of my skin, I felt as though my bones were being shattered with every lash of his thorny whip.
Before I could recover, Hubson activated his runes again. It seemed like he no longer had any strategy and just kept hurling attacks at me.
All too quickly, I felt cold again. Although I could still move, there was nothing I could do to fight back. I couldn’t use any spells, nor could I tap into my werewolf power.
My body felt like a leaky vessel, and every second that passed, I could feel my power slipping away. I trembled uncontrollably.
However, I could see that Hubson wasn’t doing much better than me. His body gradually withered, like a shriveled raisin. It was obvious that he was about to die from exerting all his strength. , It seemed that using his powers’ took a significant toll on him.
Still, I didn’t dare to underestimate my enemy. Now that Hubson was nearing the end of his rope, I needed to be even more cautious. Hubson was a powerful vampire, and even in desperate situations, he would likely do everything in his power to survive. After all, when people were pushed to their limits, they were capable of doing anything.
