Kiss of the vampire
"The Girl with the Sharp sword"
Ethan and the others froze, their hearts racing as they turned to face the newcomer. The figure emerging from the shadows was a tall, imposing vampire with sharp features and an air of authority.
And she rushes into Rebecca's arms and says
"It's good to see you, Verek! I miss you! Hey, Kim, Verek is here!". She called out for their other friend. It turns out the other two were Rebecca's friends too. As we explain the situation to them, they were reluctant to help. Because they too want to stop the vampire king's madness. As it turns out. Lancer will turn the whole world into vampires like them. But they don't want that too because as they befriend a human, and that's Rebecca. So we split our group into two
Rebecca, Ethan, and Clark and Lily. They're the ones who will find the altar while the others, Elric, Mizuno, and Kim, will create a distraction.
As the plan took shape, tension hung in the air like a thick fog. Rebecca, her eyes gleaming with determination, turned to Ethan and Clark. "We need to move quickly. The longer we wait, the closer Lancer gets to his goal."
Ethan nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. "Right. We'll find that altar and put an end to this madness. But we need to be careful. Lancer's minions are everywhere."
Lily, who had been silent until now, stepped forward. "I can sense the energy from the altar. It's powerful, but it's also unstable. If we can disrupt it, we might be able to delay his incantation for the sacrificial ritual. If I'm right, it will take an hour to activate."
Meanwhile, Elric, Mizuno, and Kim were already strategizing their distraction. "Alright, we'll create chaos at the vampire's lair," Elric said, his voice low and steady. "If we can draw Lancer's attention away from you, it'll give you the time you need."
Mizuno smirked, his eyes glinting with mischief. "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Let's just say I know how to make an entrance. My water dragons and mist might do the trick, but just make sure you'll disrupt the circle if it doesn't work through this," Mizuno said and handed her a U.V. bond. "Fuck dude, you black knights are really crazy. It's crazy, dude, that thing is really hot. But it might really buy us time. So, Lily, if Lancer turns your way, throw it and hide; don't look back, because if you do and don't hide, well, even a grace of that can disintegrate you in an instant.
"And dude, I want you to put this bomb around the area so it will split his attention. Ok, move when I say ok," Mizuno said as he ran upstairs.
The air crackled with anticipation as the two groups prepared to execute their plan. Rebecca, Ethan, Clark, and Lily exchanged determined glances, their resolve solidifying. They knew the stakes were high, and failure was not an option. While Ethan and Clark are in their position to launch an assault on Lancer at the altar that, at the time, is busy with his incantation. As Elric slowly took down all of the guards.
"Let's go," Rebecca urged, her voice steady despite the fear growing at her insides. They slipped out of the shadows and into the night, the moon casting an eerie glow on their path.
As they moved through the winding streets, Ethan couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. "Stay alert," he whispered, scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
The group pressed on, their footsteps muffled by the damp earth beneath them. The tension was palpable, each heartbeat echoing in Ethan's ears as they navigated the labyrinth of alleyways leading to the vampire king's lair.
"Do you think Elric and the others will be okay?"Lily asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Rebecca shot her a reassuring glance. "They know what they're doing. We have to trust them. Our focus needs to be on the altar."
Ethan nodded, but unease gnawed at him. "I just hope they can create enough of a distraction. Lancer won't be easy to deal with, especially if he's in the middle of that incantation."
"Ok, Cap, I'm ready, Mizuno said to Ethan through his radio.
"Copy, Kliev, what's your status? Ethan asked Kliev.
"We're ready when you are, Cap," Kliev said as we zoom out and scan the area; many of the vampire guards are slowly turning into ash or have already turned into one. As Kliev team is ready to open the gate.
"Alright, on my mark we'll start our assault! Captain Cooper, status? Ethan asks.
As we see captain cooper and captain Chloe killed the last guard of the captive cell.
"Captain Cooper here," the voice crackled through the radio, steady and resolute. "We've cleared the area but haven't found the senator's daughter. We'll update you after we—"As he was about to continue his report, Chloe called him. As he came closer, he saw their targets. But Ghellie wasn't there." Fuck! The captain sent the others to intercept; they already got the girl and are now heading to the altar," he said. as they tended to the captives.
Ethan's heart sank at the news. "We need to move faster, then. If they're heading to the altar, we can't let them complete the ritual. We have to intercept them before it's too late."
Rebecca clenched her fists, determination etched on her face. "Let's go. We can't let Lancer win. We have to save Ghellie and stop this madness." As he says that, a man emerges while dragging a girl (Ghellie, they both say in shock). "As Ethan turns his head up, he can see the moon and sun nearly merging, the sky painted with a tint of red. So he gives the order.
"Men, it's now or never! Mizuno, do it!" As he says that, Mizuno just smiles and uses his water ability and collects the moisture in the sky and fuses it together, forming a giant dark cloud. And use it to cover the moon and sun's shine.
"Heh, let me do this as a night greeting, you bloodsucking bastard!" As he said that, four gigantic dragons descend into the giant black sky Mizuno created, and as the water dragons are falling down, electricity gathers and covers the dragons as they're struck down the altar and 3 more areas, killing hundreds of vampires while Lancer just brushes it off like it was nothing. But as he turned his head, his altar circle of runes was destroyed by the impact.Tsk, human trickery," he said, and Lancer's eyes narrowed. As he called the man who was holding Ghelle, "Balthazar, kill those humans that want to stop us. "Yes, majesty." As he said that, a cluster of explosions erupted, and Kliev finally opened the gate, and all of the hunters outside rushed inside, and the full-scale war started.
Mission thirtynine!: Under The Red moon part 1
"Men! Charge inside! Stop the ritual!" General McDougal shouted. "All generals! On me! We're going to the altar! All captains and commanders! Buy us time as much as you can!" He added.
The chaos erupted around them as the hunters surged into the vampire lair, weapons drawn and hearts pounding with adrenaline. Ethan, Rebecca, Clark, and Lily pushed forward, weaving through the throng of combatants, their eyes fixed on the altar where Lancer stood, a dark figure against the flickering flames of battle.
"Stay close!" Ethan shouted, his voice barely audible over the cacophony of clashing steel and anguished cries. He could see Lancer's minions falling to the hunters, but the vampire king himself remained unfazed, his eyes glinting with malice as he surveyed the chaos.
"Lily, can you sense the altar's energy?" Rebecca asked, her breath coming in quick bursts as they navigated the battlefield.
"Yes," Lily replied, her brow furrowed in concentration. "It's still unstable, but Lancer is trying to stabilize it. We need to disrupt him before he can complete the ritual!"
As they neared the altar, Ethan caught sight of Ghellie, still in the grip of Balthazar, Lancer's enforcer. The girl's eyes were wide with fear, and Ethan's heart ached at the sight. "We have to save her!" he yelled, but before he could move, a wave of vampires surged toward them, drawn by the commotion.
"Get ready!" Clark shouted, brandishing his weapon. "We can't let them overwhelm us!"
The four of them formed a tight circle, fighting back against the onslaught. Ethan swung his weapon, feeling the rush of adrenaline as he struck down a vampire, the creature disintegrating into ash before his eyes. "We need to create a path to Ghellie!" he urged, pushing forward.
Just then, a massive explosion rocked the lair, sending debris flying. Mizuno's water dragons had done their job, but the distraction had also drawn Lancer's attention. The vampire king's eyes blazed with fury as he turned to face the hunters, his voice booming over the chaos. "Fools! You think you can stop me? I will turn this world into my kingdom!"
"Not if we can help it!" Rebecca shouted back, her voice fierce. She charged forward, determination fueling her every move. "Ethan, cover me!"
Ethan nodded, his heart racing as he provided cover fire, taking down any vampire that dared to approach Rebecca. She reached the edge of the altar, her eyes locked on Ghellie, who was still being held captive by Balthazar.
"Hey, how about we let her go and we'll settle our score here, Baltz! " Ethan demanded to Balthazar
Balthazar sneered, tightening his grip on Ghellie. "You think you can save her? You're too late!" He raised his weapon, ready to strike." We don't need her alive; we just need her blood!" As he shouted, suddenly someone slashed Balthazar's back, making him jump to his side, releasing Ghelle.
"Man, your ability dude is quite handy! Kliev said as he pushed Ghelle behind him.
"Well, what do you expect?! I'm the next captain," Cymac said proudly.
"Heh, take her somewhere safe; me and Captain Ethan will handle this bitch!" Kliev declares.
Ethan felt a surge of relief as Ghellie was freed from Balthazar's grasp, but there was no time to celebrate. The battle raged on around them, and Lancer's fury was palpable. The vampire king's eyes blazed with rage as he turned his attention to the newcomers.
"More fools to sacrifice!" Lancer roared, his voice echoing through the lair. "You think you can disrupt my plans? You will all perish!" as he said that he lunged forward to Kliev and Ethan, but someone kicked him, but he managed to deflect the kick. But it doesn't stop him from crashing into a nearby wall.
"Well, well, well, we're not late, right kids?" General McDougal asks. As the other 3 generals landed beside him.
"You haven't changed, old fart, General Arthur said, calling his soul weapon called Excalibur.
"Hahahaa, you're always a showoff, McDougal!" General Adrac said as he called his soul weapon Warhammer niegguwrath.
"Heh, you guys always want to look cool to our next generation, huh? I won't let you grab the spotlight, General Monica said as she pulled her own soul weapon, the tempest harpoon, a long bow clad with lightning. As it crackled, General McDougal pulled his soul weapon, a two-golden gauntlet called Doomsday. "Come, you bloodsucker! I don't forgive people who mess with my student! (Deyviel got almost controlled by Lancer reference mission twenty.) You mess with him, you mess with me. Generals! Full-scale assault!" He shouted.
The air crackled with tension as the generals rallied their forces, their presence igniting a renewed sense of hope among the hunters. Ethan felt a surge of adrenaline as he stood shoulder to shoulder with Kliev, ready to face the vampire king alongside the seasoned warriors.
"Let's show this bloodsucker what we're made of!" Kliev shouted, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Lancer, momentarily stunned by the sudden influx of reinforcements, regained his composure and sneered at the assembled hunters. "You think your numbers can save you? I will crush you all! You'll just use our food source, nothing else, so don't think you can outsmart me! "His voice dripped with contempt as he summoned dark energy, the air around him swirling with malevolence.
"Not today, you fucker! " General McDougal roared, charging forward with his gauntlets raised. The ground shook beneath him as he unleashed a powerful punch, sending shockwaves through the lair. Lancer barely managed to dodge, but the force of the blow sent debris flying, creating a momentary distraction.
"Now's our chance!" Ethan shouted, seizing the opportunity. He and Kliev surged forward, weapons drawn, ready to engage Lancer in battle.
As they closed the distance, Lancer retaliated with a wave of dark energy, but General Monica intercepted it with her tempest harpoon, the lightning crackling and illuminating the lair. "You'll have to do better than that! Kids! Get the senator's daughter out of here now!" as she gives them an order, her voice steady and confident. While taunting Lancer.
"Copy, ma'am. Kliev holds Ghelle's arm and toes her into his shoulder and runs while Ethan and the others create a path for them.
Ethan felt a surge of adrenaline as he and the others fought to create a path through the chaos. The air was thick with the scent of smoke and blood, and the sounds of battle echoed all around them. He could see Kliev sprinting with Ghellie on his shoulder, her eyes wide with fear but filled with gratitude.
"Don't stop moving! " Ethan shouted, swinging his weapon to fend off a group of advancing vampires. "We need to get her to safety. Don't look back! "
"Copy, sir!"
Rebecca was at his side, her determination unwavering as she struck down another vampire. "We can't let Lancer get to her again! We have to hold the line!"
"Hey, over here! Clark shouted as he guided them into a secret passage.
The narrow passageway was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and decay. Ethan could hear the sounds of battle fading behind them, but the urgency of their mission propelled him forward. "This way!" Clark urged, leading the group deeper into the shadows.
As they moved, Ethan glanced back to ensure that Kliev and Ghellie were keeping up. Kliev was a few paces behind, his expression a mix of determination and concern as he kept a protective arm around Ghellie. The girl looked terrified, but there was a spark of resilience in her eyes that gave Ethan hope.
"Are you okay?" Ethan asked, slowing his pace to match Kliev's.
Ghellie nodded, though her voice trembled. "I'm fine. Just… scared. uh… where is Deyviel? "She asks.
"Don't worry; that idiot is just late. But he'll come to save you," Ethan said with a smile. "But while he's now here, it's our job to keep you safe. Can you run? he asked, and she just nodded, but now after knowing Deyviel is coming, her expression lightened.
"Good," Ethan said, feeling a surge of determination. "We'll get you out of here, I promise."
As they pressed deeper into the passage, the sounds of battle began to fade, replaced by an eerie silence. The dim light flickered, casting shadows on the damp walls, and Ethan couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.
"Stay close," he urged, glancing back at Rebecca and Clark, who were keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. "We need to find a way out before Lancer realizes we've escaped."
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from behind them, followed by the unmistakable sound of Lancer's royal knight, filled with rage. "You think you can run from me? I will find you, and when I do, you will all pay!"
"Uh... fuck! We have to run! Now fast, that's the knight of 6 Cedric! That guy is bad news!" Clark shouted.
Ethan's heart raced as the echoes of Lancer's knight, Cedric, reverberated through the passage. The urgency of their situation hit him like a cold wave. "We can't let him catch up!" he shouted, pushing the group to move faster. "Keep going!"
"Ok, run as fast as you can. Don't turn back! Hey, you vampire kid! Go ahead; this might hurt you if you get caught, so run first!" As he said that, Ethan threw several UV grenades at his back and ran as fast as he could, catching up to others.
Kliev, still carrying Ghellie, picked up his pace, determination etched on his face. "Fuck, fuck, fuck! You son of a bitch captain, that impact will kill us too! " As they run, the bomb exploded, and the flaming impact is as fast as they run, slowly catching up to them.
"Uh...Ethan, you're just like those two idiots!" I'll punch you after we make it out here! "as Rebecca said she runs as fast as she can.
"Hahahaha, you can't do that! Because I'm already by that time! with you, hahahahahaah," he shouted as he ran alongside them.
The passageway twisted and turned, the air thick with tension as Ethan, Kliev, Ghellie, Rebecca, and Clark sprinted for their lives. The sound of Cedric's furious pursuit echoed behind them, a relentless reminder that they were not safe yet.
"Faster!" Ethan urged, his heart pounding in his chest. "We need to put as much distance between us and him as possible!"
Kliev grunted in response, his muscles straining as he carried Ghellie. "I'm trying! But this isn't exactly a sprinting track! you dumb ass!"
"Just hold on, Ghellie!" Ethan called back, glancing over his shoulder. The passage was dim, but he could see the flicker of flames from the UV grenades illuminating the darkness behind them. "We'll get you out of here!"
