Meanwhile, on the other side.
Boom! !
Boom! !
boom----
"Don't run! You have nowhere to escape!" the chariot threatened.
boom! !
"Whoa!! Are you going to let me get flattened if I don't run?!"
Ludwig ran wildly, her heart pounding.
"How can he run so fast! He's so big—"
Ruo Keke said, "Say less and run, Miss!"
The "chariot's" terrifying destructive power left the two girls no time to retaliate. If Coco had known that despite her strength, she was no match for it, a single blow would have been enough to eliminate her.
The two could only run away one by one. Every time the "chariot" missed its attack and its footsteps landed, an entire wall—or even a large section of floor—would be crushed into dust as if it had been run over by an armored tank.
Ludwig was even less capable of dealing with him, because her umbrella sword was not with her. With only the sharp blade hidden in her high heels, she was completely helpless against this monster covered in tank-like heavy armor, like trying to cut an elephant with nail clippers.
"Humph! Damn it!"
Running away is not a solution, because the underground facilities are not interconnected. Sooner or later they will be forced into a dead end, and then they will definitely be smashed into fresh vampire meat patties.
"Coco, give me your hand! Let's teach him a lesson!"
Ludwig took Coco's hand.
"You know where you should hit, right?"
The crimson light in the eyes of the two girls intensified simultaneously.
"As you command."
If Coco responded, she would flick her long staff with one hand, and a huge scythe would unfold.
Snap—tap!
Ludwig stopped in her tracks at that moment, her high-heeled feet coming to a steady halt on the ground.
She turned around gently and raised her finger.
"Time, stand still for this moment!"
At the same time, Coco struck the ground with the end of her scythe, sending up several pieces of cement. They seemed to lose gravity, floating in the air and no longer falling...!
The girl parted her lips slightly, and a strange, invisible force field pushed away the fragments; its repulsive force momentarily prevented the "chariot" from moving forward even an inch.
"Nothingness, the myriad phenomena!"
Ding--
Tick tock tick tock——
The girls' almost unbeatable combination attack came at him unexpectedly as the car ran over the dust.
Chapter 50 On the Superiority and Inferiority of Blood Energy
Blood energy is a superpower that exists in the blood and is innate to vampires.
However, not all vampires possess blood energy.
Vampire scholars believe this is related to the great vampire queen, from whom all vampire bloodlines trace back to, and therefore the true nature of blood energy is a manifestation of some of the queen's omnipotent abilities; however, as the number of high-ranking vampires with blood energy increased, some abilities that even the vampire queen had not mastered appeared in their blood energy, thus disproving this theory.
However, vampire scholars still firmly believe that the cause of blood energy is related to the vampire queen, so for countless years they have studied blood energy with a sense of awe.
In any case, given the original vampires' fanatical loyalty to the Queen, they have already added many achievements to her that have nothing to do with her over the past thousand years, so one more won't make a difference.
Ludwig and Rucoco are among the few high-ranking vampires who possess blood energy. They have a tacit understanding and have fused their abilities together to form a unique combination technique. Although they haven't fought together many times, they have already mastered how to apply it to this battle.
tick-tock-
tick-
Ding!
The ticking of the mechanical clock had stopped, and the enormous, agile armored giant before the girl also came to a halt.
The flying debris, the shattered walls, and the deafening sounds of destruction all came to a standstill at the same moment, as if a film had been paused.
While holding Ludwig's hand, Coco could also travel through this brief pause in time.
They leaped up, and at that moment, Coco further unleashed her power.
Since there was no foothold to rely on around her... she would create one herself!
despair!
Although there was nothing beneath their feet, Ludwig felt as if she were standing on solid ground, and when her body tilted to almost parallel to the ground, she seemed to float as if weightless.
Gravity seemed to defy the laws of physics, as if an invisible hand was manipulating the mechanics around them.
And this "invisible hand" is Ruo Keke.
"Nothingness, Direction!"
They bent their knees as if walking on flat ground, and then leaped up.
However, the direction of this "leap" was straight towards the face of the "chariot"!
If Coco's abilities still have many unexpected uses, this is just the most basic one, which is also the one she excels at—creating the most suitable angle of attack for her.
Bang!
Their speed was so fast that it created a whooshing sound in the still space—
"Use this strike to cut his head off!"
Since Coco couldn't wield the scythe with full force with one hand, Ludwig used her free hand to grasp it together with her. At that moment, a black mist instantly enveloped the massive scythe, making it as dark and terrifying as the Grim Reaper's scythe.
"cut!"
If Coco shouted, a cold light flashed across the armored giant's neck.
That was one of the few weaknesses in his seemingly invincible armor, because the armor could not be fully connected to the joints that required frequent movement.
when!
...
...
With a crisp metallic clang, Coco realized that things were far more complicated than they seemed.
In the stillness of time, any enemy is nothing but a lamb to the slaughter. Combined with Coco's precise and deadly attacks, their combination technique has never failed since it was first used.
But if the enemy they're dealing with can't even be cut by Ruo Keke's scythe, then their combined attack is no longer "unsolvable".
Tick tock...
Tick tock, tick tock——
The sound of mechanical gears turning quickly resumed, and the stagnant time began to flow again.
"What... how could that be?!"
Ludwig didn't even need to look back, because she already knew the outcome of this strike.
If Coco's scythe has become dull and blunt!
...
"Is your blood energy nothing more than this?"
The chariot turned around, and a strange, blood-red light shot out from the pupils behind its bone helmet.
"Looks like we overestimated you? All flash and no substance, nothing of value."
Ludwig retorted sharply, "What did you say! Stop being so smug! I have a backup plan!"
If Coco were to support her as she gasped for breath, this power to stop time would undoubtedly consume a great deal of her strength.
"Miss, do you have any other ideas?" Ruo Keke asked anxiously.
Ludwig put her hands on her hips and stared intently at the skeletal monster right in front of her, looking extremely angry.
"Although 'Stay Here For Now' consumes a lot of energy, I am a high-ranking vampire, and it is not a problem for me to use it twice in a short period of time."
She took Ruo Keke's hand again.
"Hmph, my ability has one foolproof and never-failing method."
call--
As soon as he finished speaking, the two girls vanished without a trace.
...
"Don't make it sound so self-righteous about running away!"
"If we don't run, we'll just die! Okay, Coco, vaporize!"
call out--
They darted into the ventilation shaft they had come from and fled the place in a sorry state.
...
Quack, quack, quack——
Click, click, click...
With a strange sound of bones rubbing together, the bone shell turned into powder and dissipated, revealing the true form of the dust trapped inside.
"..."
"They got away."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if they know these little clues, at least the higher-ups won't suspect me."
"The performance report stated—theft"
The thieves have been wiped out.
"Ha, if you knew about this, you should buy me a drink."
...
...
...
Meanwhile, Yin Shang had been talking with the priest in Bailing City for some time.
"What did you say? Yang Lingxi...is your daughter?!"
Yin Shang said with an incredulous look on his face.
The priest nodded: "Yes, our second daughter. She is the younger sister of our eldest son, Yang Qi."
His expression was sorrowful.
"Five years ago, our son died in battle like a hero. My wife and I were heartbroken, but at least he sacrificed himself for a just cause. Fortunately, we still have Lingxi to keep us company in our old age. However, she has been busy with work in recent years and doesn't come home much anymore. We two old folks are so lonely."
The priest's heartbroken explanation left Yin Shang completely confused.
He wondered to himself, "What is this? One minute she's a princess, the next a knight of the Apocalypse, then the daughter of a priest. How can she have so many unrelated identities?"
Yin Shang scratched his head: "This... there's nothing I can do, please accept my condolences. Uh, about Yang Lingxi, you said she hasn't been coming home much in recent years... have you noticed anything different about her than before?"
The priest asked suspiciously, "Young man, didn't you come to see Xiao Qi?"
Yin Shang quickly made an excuse: "Oh right, that's right. Hmm... I haven't heard from him for so long, I was starting to wonder if he had already passed away. It's really a pity."
The priest waved his hand.
“Don’t worry about it too much, young man. However, you came all this way only to hear the news of your benefactor’s death. As a priest… well, at least in name only, my job is to help people solve their problems. I can’t let you go back feeling depressed.”
He picked up Yin Shang's Wandering Sword, which was placed aside, and gently stroked its blade.
"I've heard that your church knights have always held these ancient artifacts in high esteem. I'll ask you one more time: are you interested in its origins?"
Yin Shang was indeed interested in this, and Reinhardt also made a request to him in his mind:
