Where the moonlight shone, the Countess of the Crimson Moon would be there.
However, only a few people had personally encountered the moonlight of the Countess of the Crimson Moon, and there were even fewer people who could escape from it. Therefore, no one had ever been able to tell what kind of ability the oldest vampire had, and no one knew what her real fighting style was—they could only speculate on her strength through ambiguous and vague descriptions left by their predecessors.
Under the crimson moonlight, all life started to wither away, and even inanimate things began to decay. Plants withered and fell, and the bare ground was also stained with a lifeless black color. A faint, almost indistinguishable sound was echoing amid the moonlight. The noise made them dizzy and unable to concentrate. They heard the sound of birds flapping their wings in the woods. The flock was also disturbed by the crimson moonlight. Hao Ren saw a flock of sparrows flying out of the woods and fell to the ground. It was terrifying.
After the moonlight had enveloped the earth, the figure of the red-haired Vivian finally emerged. She appeared from the moonlight and skipped around in it, so they could not capture her. She bellowed and attacked every one of them randomly, continuously appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi raised their crossbows before they fired at her repeatedly.
*Bang! Bang!*
The trajectories of silver arrows crisscrossed into a light net in the air, but the arrows were only able to brush past the devil. After seeing the enemy's way of dodging the arrows, the experienced Nangong Wudi suddenly realized a terrifying possibility: this devil could probably partly sense her opponent's mind! Her attacks and defenses were exactly like a rehearsed play. Their attacks were just to cooperate with her!
Their energy was severely depleted as they fought in the moonlight. Even the healthiest Lily quickly felt a sense of dizziness coming from the depths of her mind. She was shaking as if she was about to fall under the red moon. The gray and crimson air was swirling up from her body towards the moonlight. "Landlord... I'm feeling a little cold…"
Y'zaks was burning with roaring flames to resist the strange moonlight, and he held up the Demonic Barrier to shield all of them. However, the shield had limited power—the moonlight's attack was beyond all magic and curses. Even Y'zaks did not know how to deal with it. "We must find a way to avoid the moonlight! And we have to lure that devil farther away... The moonlight is going to spread to the urban area!"
"MDT, find a place where the moon can't reach!" Hao Ren shouted while he jumped to the side. The moment he jumped, another light hit the spot where he stood earlier, and a vast expanse of ground was directly turned into dead land. "Send everyone and this devil away!"
"I'm trying!" The MDT was running around in the air and shouting, "The devil keeps moving around, I can't target it… F*ck!"
The red-haired Vivian appeared again in the moonlight. The MDT was already covered in blue light at this point, and it immediately rushed to her. "Watch me!"
*Bang!* The MDT finally hit the red-haired Vivian at the back of her head. The first effective attack turned out to be a brick tactic from the MDT. Hao Ren was almost stunned, and so was the devil. The MDT would not let go of this once-in-lifetime opportunity. It immediately shouted, "Open the door!"
A beam of teleportation light that reached the sky suddenly lit up and all of them disappeared together with the devil.
The crimson moonlight in the sky flickered before it suddenly disappeared, and the moors returned to silence again.
Hao Ren quickly recovered from the momentary dizziness. He shook his head, and immediately clenched his lance as he made a stabbing motion to the side. It felt like he had stabbed something. He jumped away before the counterattack struck him. The devil was flying in the air not far away, and one of her arms was almost completely cut off by the light blade!
The devil roared angrily, trying to summon the moonlight again, but this time her efforts were futile: there was no moon there.
Hao Ren just had a chance to look around. He saw a vast expanse of red wasteland, while the others were not far away, confronting the devil in a tense situation. Lily was holding her Frostfire Blades, ready to attack. She kept coughing and asked, "Where is this place… It's making me a little uncomfortable."
"Mars!" The MDT's voice came from the air.
They quickly put on their life collars (Hao Ren gave them one and got them to carry it with them everywhere they went). Lily was waving her Frostfire Blades happily, mocking the devil in front of her. "Ah ha! Let's see where you'll find a moon this time! There's nothing here!"
The devil glanced at Lily, ignoring her mockery. She just raised her finger and said, "Come back..."
All of Lily's hair stood up and she immediately jumped away. A black dent appeared in the ground where she was stood earlier, expanding hundreds of meters behind it as if the earth was festering.
"She's still stronger than you even without the moonlight!" Hao Ren reminded Lily loudly. Then, he turned to the rest of them and said, "Now she has no way to be invisible, everybody, go!"
Without hesitation, all of them attacked her immediately.
All kinds of attacks were thrown at her from all directions, so much so that the red-haired Vivian had nowhere to run. But even in that situation, she did not panic. It was as if she had no feelings. She was hit by a series of attacks, and before she was hit by Y'zaks' Demonic Flare, she glanced at Hao Ren without any expression and said, "…You? Come back..."
Hao Ren was breaking out in cold sweat. The moment the devil looked at him, he sensed his shield capacity falling rapidly like a bursting dam. After he avoided her eyes, he wondered what did "come back" mean.
The devil, however, clearly would not answer his question. She was wounded in a series of attacks, but still, there was Blood Mist coming out of her wounds to heal those wounds. She ignored her wounds and floated in the air, preparing to launch a second attack. Y'zaks frowned at her state, nodded and said, "Her speed of recovery has slowed down. Our attacks are working!"
Hao Ren gritted his teeth, clenched the silver lance in his hand and said, "Be sure to catch her alive! We have to figure out what's going on here!"
As he got ready to fight, the devil in the air rushed towards them again!
The red-haired Vivian was surrounded by Blood Mist. Where she passed, not only did the earth begin to rot, the air was also rapidly filled with the eerie mist as if the world was eroding. Her strength was increasing, or recovering over time. Hao Ren knew that he could not delay, so he set the plasma flame of the lance straight to the maximum and rushed towards the devil without hesitation.
He was going to give the devil a head-on strike and Y'zaks would release the Demonic Seal while the devil was healing. If it did not work, he would have to use his Dimensional Pocket... Although this may destroy a lot of things in the Dimensional Pocket, he did not want to let this strange and suspicious devil run away!
But just as he was about to race towards the devil, a black figure suddenly appeared.
Vivian emerged from a red light, looking bewildered. She was still wearing an apron, and with a pan in her hand, she looked like she had just stepped out of the kitchen. "What are you doing?" She asked, looking surprised.
Hao Ren pointed behind Vivian and shouted, "Watch your back!"
Vivian felt that something was not right behind her. She turned around and saw a figure surrounded by red mist racing towards her. Before she could discern and think carefully, she raised her hand, and the frying pan hit the devil right on the face.
*Bang!* The devil was directly knocked down by a pan…
