Chapter 359: Chronicle of Darkness (Part 7)
July 18, 1460, late at night.
A carriage was parked outside the magnificent castle, but the guards were not traditional guards, but two statues of armor several meters high. The hands of the armor were hanging above the hilt of the sword, and the giant sword standing on the chest alone was three or four meters high.
Under the moonlight, the statue shrouded in the helmet's eyes flashed with red light.
Soon, two young women got off the carriage.
"This is...the castle of Count Dracula."
After a few days of journey, they finally arrived at the end of their destiny, and the rumored vampire tyrant who symbolizes a dark age is waiting for their arrival in this castle.
As of now, everything they come into contact with remains the same as centuries ago, but Dracula is an exception.
This is foreshadowed by the two statues standing in front of the castle.
The one who guards the castle is the dead spirit from the underworld.
"I'm ready."
Andera held the stone ghost mask that she had worked hard to get in her hands. In order to get rid of the pursuers, her companions who were walking with them voluntarily put on the mask.
"Andella, I will always be with you."
The witch's voice sounded very ethereal at the moment. Her eyes were flashing with golden light, and the dazzling red crystals worn on her neck emitted a dazzling light.
In order to seal the source of evil, she must use the power of this crystal, even if it is, it will force her to abandon her human identity.
However, as a witch at Inari Shrine, she was ready to sacrifice when necessary from the beginning.
"Thank you, let's go."
When the two approached the city gate, the two statues came alive without any surprise. They raised the giant sword in their hands high. The next moment, a golden beam of light enveloped the two armor images. The giant sword and armor began to fall off quickly, and it turned into powder as it fell.
……………………………………………………………………
At the top of the castle, the familiar moonlight shines into the room from the window.
Dracula sat alone on the throne, looking up at the moonlight outside the window, and in the midst of loneliness, he heard footsteps from far to near.
The war with Belmont and Fernando tribes has lasted for centuries. Thinking of the last fierce battle, he still feels like a different life.
Soon, the uninvited guest broke into the door again.
The witch's body was stained with blood, but the momentum emitted by her whole body increased instead of decreasing? In the ancient Egyptian belief system, the extinction of the body precisely means the immortality of the spirit. When she accepted the power of the crystal, it means that she had completely abandoned her identity as a witch.
"The Dark Clan? I will judge your crime."
Even the voice of the speech changed.
"Stone Ghost Mask, and the crystal that carries the power of the sun."
Dracula seems to be familiar with the props brought by the witch and Andera? "I used to know a friend who knew the crystal spell..."
The witch did not seem to have a long-term plan to give Dracula a long speech, and the golden light, which was countless times more dazzling than before, enveloped Dracula in it.
Dracula subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands? But everything he did seemed pale and powerless.
The exquisite tuxedo began to shatter little by little? The beam of light was like a sacred flame, instantly burning him to ashes.
After the golden light disappeared, only the witch and Andera were left at the top of the castle.
The moonlight outside the window was still there, and an unprecedented sense of emptiness enveloped them.
"Is this... over?"
The witch was a little unbelievable? Although the attack just now almost tilted most of the energy of the crystal? But they faced the cruel Earl of Dracula, Belmont and Fernando, who had sacrificed their lives to seal the demon, but what she had done was not sealing, but purification.
Count Dracula, like all the dark creatures he encountered before, was purified?
"It seems that's true."
Andera finally forced a smile out of her smile? "Our research has been successful, compared to the power of engraving? The energy that Dracula really fears is actually hidden in this crystal."
"Great, Andera? That way you will be completely free."
He was truly freed from the cycle of fate of the Fernando family!
"I came for this, too."
"Go back, if Cassandra knows the news? I will definitely be very happy."
"Only the last spell is left..."
Andera's soft voice brought her long-lost peace of mind? According to their original plan, Andera will open the cracks that she looked through. Unfortunately, in order to eliminate the demon, they lost two hands.
After the witch's nerves relaxed, the accumulated fatigue surged up.
"I'm a little sleepy."
"Then go to bed, and when you wake up, everything will be over."
With Andera's guidance, the witch slowly closed her eyes, and a warm feeling wrapped around her. This feeling was like returning to her mother's arms.
I missed a little homesick.
After returning, the chief witch and her sisters would not believe her actions, but she must tell her mother about this.
She personally eliminated Count Dracula and rescued the Fernando family from fate...
Then, the remaining consciousness also fell into boundless darkness.
And when she woke up again, the dawn light shone into the room, the warm feeling of the previous disappearance, replaced by the biting coldness.
The witch subconsciously wanted to move her limbs that had become a little stiff, but was surprised to find that her hands and feet could not move. Her deep sleep disappeared in an instant. She was surprised to find that she was tied to a log like a witch, and the man sitting on the throne was watching her jokingly.
Count Dracula, who should have been destroyed, appeared in front of her again.
She immediately activated the energy of the crystal, but found that the pendant on her chest had disappeared. The log that bound her was located in the center of a complex magic circle. On the other side, she saw Andela.
Andera was not tied up like her, but held a thick book and carefully carved the magic circle under her feet.
"Andella, what are you doing?"
"Oh, you're awake."
Andera still smiled gently, "Hold on it, it's almost done, and there is only one last step left to break the fate of the Fernando family."
“…Why is Dracula still alive?”
The witch could not understand what was happening in front of her, and she could not imagine any reason to explain Dracula's resurrection from the dead.
"It seems that you still have many questions. As a reward for bringing the mask and crystal to me, I will answer your questions in person."
