Chapter 61 What kind of king do you want to be!?
The sudden burst of power caused the lake water to surge outwards like a tsunami.
The five men were locked in a fierce battle on the water, but the more intense the attack, the thicker the surrounding fog became.
All their attention was focused on Jiu Nian, so much so that they ignored the subtle movements coming from the lake.
"Oh no! This guy... this guy is burning his brains! He's really going to drag us down with him by overdrawing his life like this."
Without further hesitation, the four of them took a short break and were about to join forces to take him down when a scarlet figure suddenly appeared above them.
"Shadow Bite...!"
Blood-red skulls abruptly covered the entire sky, sweeping across the lakeside from top to bottom.
The skulls pressed down like a tidal wave, while simultaneously opening their gaping maws to unleash aurora-like rays that bombarded the ground from every angle.
Luo Xia's sudden appearance startled everyone present, but soon, apart from Jiu Nian, the other four began to dodge.
"boom--!"
A large amount of blood mingled in the lake water, and Jiu Nian's expression became even more listless, but his chilling killing intent rose to its peak once again.
The other four people suffered injuries of varying degrees and were forced to fall from the sky, crashing straight into the lake.
"Uh...who is this guy!?" Ye Feng was the first to react, frowning and staring at the sky in horror.
Cliff, clutching his shoulder, squinted and turned to look at Ye Feng: "A magical attribute I've never seen before...? This... this is from those mummies that appeared in Camedor..."
"puff…"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Euphemia tightened his grip on the gun tip, showing no surprise at Rorschach's appearance.
"This...this is a vampire...! It seems their experiment has succeeded...?"
Aston and Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise at the same time, as they had expected that such magic should not have succeeded so quickly.
Elegantly ruffling his long white hair, Luo Xia glared at the crowd and immediately corrected them: "Wrong! It's the vampires! The great vampires! Hehehehe... You're all exhausted from fighting, aren't you?"
"bump--!"
In the blink of an eye, he teleported in front of Ye Feng and grabbed him by the neck: "You bastard, I've been looking for you for ages! We'll settle all our scores, old and new!"
"You...who are you?" Ye Feng struggled violently, his face turning ashen, as he gripped the pale wrists with both hands.
"Don't you recognize me?" Luo Xia looked down at him and asked coldly.
Hehehehe…
"Then you'd better remember this! The person who killed you..."
"Call him Rorschach—!"
He twisted his neck, about to bite Ye Feng's neck, but the sudden attack made his body tremble.
"boom--!"
"call out…"
In an instant, the golden sword severed Rorschach's head, and Cliff followed up with a kick that shattered it to pieces.
"What!?"
Amidst gasps of alarm, the headless corpse quickly grew a head, and Luo Xia, feigning nonchalance, bit Ye Feng's neck.
"Don't rush... the next one is..." He drank in the fresh blood, not forgetting to mock the others.
"Crack—!"
Euphemiah swung his golden holy spear, cleaving it vertically in two in an instant, but the horrific wound healed the moment the spear left his body…
"Hmm!?" With a displeased look, Rorschach glared at Euphemia and, with a burst of violent energy, immediately lashed out with his claws.
"Clang—!"
The gun accurately blocked the attack, but what followed was a swarm of bats that frantically tore at the group, forcing them to retreat.
"Didn't I tell you not to rush? I'll taste your blood one by one!" With a leisurely wave of his hand, Luo Xia suddenly felt a surge of energy rising from the bottom of his heart.
"Hahahaha! You didn't expect this, did you? You bunch of good-for-nothings! After all that hard work, you're just here to pave the way for my own benefit!"
He had already begun to imagine what it would be like to dominate the world, and so he laughed loudly, wanting to announce to the world that he was the new ruler.
...
"What! It's him! It's him! It's really him! Our Lu Guan Gorsha! He's back!"
"Wow! Posting some old treasures (I'm never going to log in again.jpg)"
"I have this picture too! (Choose one!.jpg)"
"Hahaha, holy crap, I didn't recognize him at all! His skin looks like he's been dead for 80 years!"
...
The viewers in the live stream were taken aback at first, but he quickly remembered Luo Xia, and the barrage of comments started flooding the screen with emojis.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Rorschach restarted his livestream, this time titled it: "[The New King of the World! The Strongest Ruler! Ushering in the Era of the Vampires!]"
"From this moment forward, I am the king of the new world! The great vampire count Rorschach!" he shouted, venting his excitement in a furious outburst.
"After I kill you all, I will be the king of the world! The man standing at the pinnacle of this world!!!"
"This continent, all the oceans, this entire planet! They will all be named after me, Rorschach!!!"
With each roar he let out, nearly a million people flooded into the live stream, watching the screen filled with comments and a plethora of praise.
He suddenly felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life!
"Uh...you bastard..."
After being harassed by the bats for a while, Cliff and the others were almost unable to fight. They clutched their wounds and stared at the sixth brother in front of them with great anger.
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Luo Xia mocked, "Kizaru, Aokiji, I'm sorry, I don't know your real names, but..."
"I'll give you both a chance. After all, I only have a grudge against Ye Feng. You two can become vampires too!" He pressed his index finger to his lips, twitched his eyebrows, and looked down on everyone with the air of a victor.
"Hey... brat!"
Suddenly, an extremely domineering voice came from behind.
With narrowed eyes and a dismissive wave of his hand, Luo Xia didn't want to pay him any attention: "Don't rush, it's your turn soon, don't interrupt me."
Jiu Nian's voice did not stop. His scarlet eyes stared directly at Luo Xia, and terrifying black and red arcs of electricity surged from his nostrils: "What kind of king did you say you wanted to become...?"
"I want to be the world's—"
With his arms outstretched, Luo Xia proudly shouted to the sky, but his words came to an abrupt halt the next moment.
Cliff quickly pulled the two away, and they ran desperately toward the outer perimeter, ignoring the cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Great Vajra! Thunderous Eight Trigrams—!"
A powerful roar erupted with the sound of thunder; it all happened so fast!
By the time Luo Xia realized what was happening, the spiked club, as deep as a black hole, had already struck his face.
"you--"
"Aa ...
"boom--!"
Black and red arcs of electricity shot into the sky, and a violent explosion created a thunderous field from which immense power swept outwards.
The clouds, the fog, and the huge number of bats that had been circling in the sky all turned to dust and disappeared as if they had never existed.
"bump--!"
Gritting his teeth, Jiu Nian increased his strength even further, until the lightning surged ten thousand meters high, filling the entire field of vision with its power…
The lake water evaporated instantly, and the surrounding area of tens of thousands of miles was reduced to nothingness by this attack. The earth was blasted into a hollow, and the entire lake was swallowed up by the ground...
"How is this possible?! This is impossible! You...you! Ahhhhhhh!"
"Thump—!"
Luo Xia's figure had long since disappeared, and the faint echo was quickly swallowed up by the raging thunder.
"Splash..."
Blood rained down from the sky, and a light shone from over ten thousand meters underground. A lake of blue and purple water appeared out of nowhere…
Jiu Nian, having exhausted all his strength in the attack, was completely drained, causing significant damage to the Magic Corridor.
Fortunately, the Dead Sea Scrolls fragments he had pinned to his chest shielded him from much of the aftershocks, preventing him from dying on the spot.
"What vampire era? That's hilarious!" He shakily hoisted the spiked club back onto his shoulder and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva downwards in disgust.
"Incredibly weak!"
Between heavy breaths, he gave his assessment of what had just happened, and at the same time, he figured out the weakness of Rorschach's healing ability.
"Unorthodox methods...!"
"Only the ultimate magic can transcend everything!"
He reached out his palm, firmly grasped the black and red lightning, and let out a cold snort of utter disdain.
"thump…"
Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes, and his body, suspended in mid-air, began to plummet uncontrollably downwards.
After a long while, his body bumped into some peculiar rocks, and he happened to avoid the lake water that was a mix of blue and purple.
"Thud..."
After the battle, a blood-red fingernail fell to the ground on the shore of Loch Ness…
