Chapter 948 Standing Before The Ancient Castle
After the black-robed man died, Lu Yu looked at the others behind him and said, "Now that we have a rough understanding of the situation, it seems that they are indeed the source of these potions."
"Should we continue moving forward?" the Empress asked.
"Of course, we are close to the source. As long as Dracula dies, these Truth Potions or Blood Origin Potions will disappear from this world. Everything will be over once he"s dealt with."
Lu Yu had fought against the Truth Department many times along the way, and he had seen this potion popping up in many places.
He hated this evil potion with every fiber of his being!
Since an opportunity to destroy this potion was right in front of him. Lu Yu could not miss it!
Even if his mission could not be carried out, he had to destroy this potion!
"Let"s go. We don"t need to waste any more time. I want to rush straight to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s nest and kill him!"
Lu Yu"s tone was filled with a thick killing intent. He hated this b.a.s.t.a.r.d to his very bones and wished he could kill him right now!
Shirley looked at the boy lying on the ground and asked, "What about him?"
"Let him return to where he came from. I don"t have time to take care of a stranger now."
Lu Yu stated decisively that he could not afford to be delayed by other things now.
If Dracula escaped, the losses would be too great.
It was far from something that could be exchanged for this boy"s life.
Shirley looked at the unconscious boy on the ground and was distressed.
"But if we leave him alone, he will definitely die here!"
She looked around and knew danger was still lurking everywhere. If an ordinary person stayed here, there was a high chance he would not survive.
Lu Yu looked at the person on the ground and at the Empress helplessly. "Can you stay here? When he wakes up, send him out of here, okay?"
"I also want to go with you and kill that guy. It"s a waste to stay here!" The Empress voiced her reluctance.
She wanted to join Lu Yu"s battle. The feeling of being able to fight to her heart"s content was excellent.
"Listen to me. Stay here and watch over this person until I come back."
The Empress was unwilling, but she still nodded obediently.
Although she was once the ruler of a country, she had to listen to Lu Yu.
After all, she could only obey the strong, which was the way of this world.
Lu Yu asked the Empress to stay behind and guard this boy while he took Shirley and Helen forward.
Although the Empress was strong, her combat style was that of an a.s.sa.s.sin. She did not have the area-of-effect damage of a mage, nor could she stand her ground like a warrior and face all kinds of powerful enemies head-on.
She might get fl.u.s.tered and endanger herself if she had to fight more than one person at a time.
Therefore, Lu Yu asked Shirley and Helen to follow him closely. The three of them continued to move forward together. Shirley and Helen move forward with peace of mind under Lu Yu"s protection.
Soon, Lu Yu could see the tip of the castle in the distance.
As he got closer, Lu Yu spotted the towering black walls.
At the same time, a figure stood on the tower in the center of the castle, overlooking the large forest in front of him.
He was dressed in a long robe, had pale skin, and blood-red sunken eyes. He appeared to be a terminally ill patient.
His long, red robe was particularly eye-catching in the surrounding darkness.
He licked his lips, and a smile appeared on his face.
He looked at the forest and was energized.
"Interesting, he killed one of my servants. It seems that a powerful enemy has come to find us."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the darkness behind that person.
"President, leave it to me. You don"t have to worry. I"ll help you solve everything."
"I know. Go. kill that guy. After all, that"s your specialty."
A figure emerged from the shadows. He was dressed in all black, and his gleaming bald head and pitch-black eye sockets revealed he was not your average person.
Dracula turned to look at him.
He lowered his head and looked at the chain hammer in the man"s hand—it was stained with blood.
"Go. That guy seems to be coming. I can feel his aura!"
Dracula closed his eyes tightly, lifted his head slightly, and took a deep breath.
"Phew... This person is strong and cannot be underestimated. He is definitely stronger than anyone you have killed in your life!"
The bald man swung the chain hammer in his hand and smiled sinisterly. "He will die, so don"t worry. Leave it to me. He"ll be gone soon."
With that, he turned around and walked down the spiral staircase.
"If you are careless, you will die in his hands."
"President, don"t worry. When have I ever failed?"
"If you said so."
As he spoke, Dracula sat on a chair beside him and picked up a teacup on the table. He took a sip of the bright red liquid in the teacup.
After drinking it, his face became much rosier, and his bloodshot eyes improved. He became more energetic, making him seem like a different person from earlier.
At the same time, Lu Yu had already arrived at the castle gates.
A crow squatted on the street lamp at the entrance, and its blood-red eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
If it were the past, Lu Yu would definitely refrain from alerting the enemy and think of a way to sneak in. But this time, he decided to rush up and fight without wasting more time.
Lu Yu walked out.
When the crow saw the figure that had suddenly appeared, it was on alert. Its pair of red eyes locked onto Lu Yu"s body, letting out two ear-piercing cries.
Caw! Caw!
The ear-piercing crow"s cries rang out eerily.
Lu Yu took out his Star Piercing Demonic Sword and stabbed at the crow.
Just as the crow was about to flap its wings and escape, a sword aura shot out, instantly rendering it into a pile of flesh and blood that fell to the ground.
Lu Yu stood before the castle entrance.
It was a pair of heavy, double stone doors.
Lu Yu shot out a Star Piercing Stab. He gripped his sword tightly and stepped forward, aiming it at the stone door!
With a loud bang, a sword aura shot out and penetrated the stone doors.
The stone doors exploded into pieces and fell. Dust filled the air, and broken stones littered the ground.
Lu Yu stepped forward.
It seemed that no one was in this huge castle. When Lu Yu and the two girls entered the main hall, they saw that there was no one inside.
Suddenly, one figure emerged from the middle of the main hall, seemingly waiting for Lu Yu"s arrival.
The man turned around, took out the hammer in his hand, and swung it in the air.
He stared at Lu Yu and let out a sneer.
"How brave of you to come here? Do you know where you are? Never mind. All you need to know is that this place will become your h.e.l.l!"
"You will die amidst endless torture and become a blood sacrifice for us!"
His cold laughter would have made other"s hair stand on end, but it was especially laughable to Lu Yu.
"No. You"re the sacrifice here."
