Chapter 221 How dare you? (3k)

Although he was in the main city of the Bathory family, Moon could still hear the earth-shaking noise outside clearly.

Even the moonlight was completely replaced by the red light of artillery fire.

After gazing out the window for a moment, Moon continued to walk upwards.

It can be seen that Bathory and the Pure White Dynasty are undoubtedly the ones who have the absolute upper hand outside.

Little Akado must have been suppressed to the point where he could hardly raise his head.

Even with the addition of two new families and the return of his father, I believe the situation will not improve much.

Because Moon also saw the fortresses from other vampire families approaching.

When it comes to air combat, it is obvious that the vampire family fortress is more exaggerated.

These fortresses are almost all relics from the Age of Gods.

It is the weapon of the Age of Gods created to win the final war between gods.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that in a world where breech-loading rifles haven't been fully figured out, there could be such exaggerated aerial battles.

Because of the emergence of the extraordinary, many aspects of this world have almost unimaginable gaps.

Moon saw clearly the Pure White Dynasty's plan. They wanted to break through the Akado family's defenses as quickly as possible and then directly enter the Seven Hills.

At that time, as long as the last seal is broken, no matter how strong the wind and waves are, they will stop.

In silence, Moon walked into the new hall.

This is the internal gathering room prepared by the Bathory family for family members.

The scale is naturally not as large as the one below, but the decoration is more exquisite. On the walls of the meeting hall are hung exquisite and ancient oil paintings, each of which tells the glorious history of the Bathory family.

These include collections of successive heads of the Bathory family as well as their own writings.

Even Moon saw himself, and there were two paintings of Moon.

The first picture shows the first Grand Duke Bathory cutting off his own fingers, but he himself does not appear completely, only an image of a hermit wearing a robe.

The second picture shows his successor Duke Bathory kneeling with his children to welcome his arrival in the image of the Dark Moon King.

After taking a look, Moon stepped on the luxurious carpet which he couldn't even name.

The feeling is very special, just like stepping on soft snow, but it is extremely warm.

In silence, Moon kept moving forward and looked at Grand Duke Bathory who was trying to stop him.

To be honest, Moon thought this guy would be hiding higher up.

After noticing that Moon's eyes were on him, Grand Duke Bathory took a step back unconsciously.

Even though he had made sufficient preparations, the oppressive feeling brought by the King was still far beyond his expectations.

He had seen a king, but not Morn, and certainly not the King of Blood Moon. The eras of these two were too far away from him.

He was seeing a great man from a wild land, and he was deeply impressed by the lions and golden ornaments.

But because the other party came as a guest, he did not feel the oppression that a king should have.

After a moment, he realized this and walked forward a little more with a gloomy face.

"The great Dark Moon King, the friend of King Durin, the terminator of the eternal blood moon, the hero of the lost age, the apostate among us, the one who betrayed the promise, the piercer Zebes."

The tone of the first half of the sentence is extremely high, while the tone of the second half is extremely gloomy.

The first half of the sentence needs no elaboration, while the second half says that as a vampire, Moon rebelled against the Blood Church, seduced the Blood Saint to break her oath, and was given the derogatory and fearful title of Zebes the Piercer by many vampires in the era of perpetual blood moon.

Because he always pierced the vampires to death, the vampires felt that this was a great insult and unacceptable cruelty.

But compared to the blood nobles during the Blood Dynasty's rule, to be honest, Moon always felt that his means of counterattack were unusually mild.

The rose crossbow held by Mr. Tilly in the Lion family's main city, Stone Castle, is a weapon that is not used for killing but for torture. The blood nobles have tinkered with a lot of it.

In later generations, many torturers would try their best to excavate relics from the Blood Dynasty in the hope of finding torture tools from that period.

Because they basically found that the torture methods they had painstakingly come up with were most likely no match for the sudden ideas that the blood nobles used for fun.

Even if the Dark Moon Era banned all of this, even if the Dark Moon Era destroyed all of this.

But basically, as long as it is a relic from that period and is of a certain scale, you will definitely be able to find some tricky torture instruments that have never been seen before.

Moon still remembers that he once saw a ring with a beautiful and unique shape, and it was so sophisticated that it almost exhausted people's imagination. If it was used to propose marriage, no girl would be able to refuse it.

But once it is really put on, the girl who is immersed in great happiness will suffer torture that she will never forget in her life.

It's not something as simple as adding barbs to the ring to prick your fingers, nor is it something like putting poison in it. That would be a joke to the blood nobles.

The ring was made from the pus and blood of the blasphemous dragon, and it would melt instantly once worn.

What was the pus and blood of the blasphemous dragon? It was a horrific pollution that almost cursed the rivers of the entire world, a horrible curse that only the gentleness and mercy of the holy tree could bear.

But a blood noble added such a vicious thing to the eternal proof of love.

It was hard for Moon to imagine how desperate the victim must be if there was one. He thought he was in heaven, but immediately fell into hell.

Therefore, Moon never thought that it was cruel to destroy the Blood Dynasty and imitate the atrocities of the Impaler.

He even felt that he was a little slow.

Therefore, Moon smiled nonchalantly at Bathory's accusation and said:
"This is how the era of decadence and depravity should end."

Looking at Moon who was getting closer and closer, Archduke Bathory, who wanted to continue speaking, suddenly found that he had no mood to continue.

He just wanted to end it all quickly.

All the prepared remarks and sarcasm were useless, and all turned into fear. Even though the other party didn't hold that scary sword-shaped spear, even though it was the first time he saw the other party.

However, the terrifying rumors from the Piercer and the natural sense of oppression as a king still made him want to escape.

This is not a king like the Sword and Shield King who only has the title but no real power.

This is a strong man who has fought through two eras.

But when he placed his hand on his left hand, the fear disappeared instantly.

What emerged was endless courage.

The Ring of Earth is still in his hand!
Although the hateful Dark Lord played tricks on their great vampires, the nineteen rings he created did have unimaginable power.

Each one exceeds the limit of a first-level seal. Although they are not as unique, these rings have a very, very excellent advantage - they can use power without paying a price!
This is something special and superior that no other seal possesses.

And the Ring of Earth represents suppression!

It doesn't need to be too effective, as long as he can delay the Moon King in front of him, then as long as the dust settles outside, he, Bathory, will be the biggest hero.

They will be the most reliable believers and followers after the return of the Blood Moon.

That would be infinite glory and power!
It is countless times better than the current half-baked state!
With an infinite desire for power and the knowledge that there is no turning back, it is a do-or-die battle.

Bathory raised his left hand and shouted:
"You blasphemous and evil Impaler, look what I have in my hands!"

The power from the Ring of Earth reached its peak at this moment.

The Ring of Earth was a gift from the Dark Lord Sauron to the vampires, although the vampires refused the gift of darkness with laughter because they did not know its value.

But the vampires knew how terrible its power was.

Especially this Ring of Earth, its ability is to suppress, it can suppress desire while also suppressing power.

It is said that when Sauron forged this ring, he hoped to use it to curb the desires of mortals.

At first, the vampires thought it was just a piece of rubbish like a tranquilizer, but when they saw humans use this ring to suppress the power of several dragons to the point where they couldn't even get up.

They regretted it, deeply regretted it.

At this moment Bathory laughed, a very exaggerated laugh. He could clearly feel how powerful this force was.

Sauron actually said that the real function of this ring is to suppress the desires of mortals.

What a joke! What a lie!

Its real purpose is clearly to suppress the enemy's power, allowing oneself to win easily.

This is the most powerful force second only to uniqueness.

He didn't believe that the king in front of him could be completely unaffected.

In this way, even I would be able to fight against it.

After all, this is the castle of the Bathory family, and I am the head of the Bathory family!
"Hahahaha, you lose, Piercer!"

But as he laughed, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because the king in front of him grabbed his arm.

And the powerful and brilliant suppressive light also disappeared into thin air.

He tried to break free from the king's grasp, but he was motionless because the difference in strength was too great.

He wanted to activate the Ring of Earth again, but it was of no use. It was as if the Ring of Earth was not in his hand.

"How could it be possible? How could it be possible?!"

The next moment, the Ring of Earth lit up again.

This ignited a fire of hope in Bathory's eyes, but then he became incredulous.

The Ring of Earth suppresses himself!

The first thing that disappeared was his power. He was an angel, a powerful Sequence Two. Even without using his own abilities, he could easily tear the earth apart and destroy the fortress.

But now the power in his body could not emerge at all, and all his various abilities disappeared directly.

"What did you do? What did you do?!"

Amid the horrified questioning, Bathory struggled violently.

The next thing to disappear was life. He was immortal, never old and never dead. His body could remain unchanged forever, and his flesh and blood resisted change.

But now his arms were drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his flesh and blood were shriveling incredibly.

"You, you, what on earth did you do?!"

The strength disappeared, the life disappeared, and finally, his consciousness disappeared.

He began to lose sight of everything in front of him, he could no longer hear the sounds outside, and he could no longer feel his own existence.

I almost forgot to even think about what was going on.

At the very end, the only thing he was thinking about was a sentence from the darkness:

"How dare you use a ring I made against me?"

In the last moments of his life, Bathory's only thought was unprecedented shock.

Outside, with a crackling sound, the thing that was once Bathory fell to the ground in a heap of weathered bones.

And the Earth Ring that was shining with orange-yellow light returned to the hands of its creator.
