124: Serena's chance

Locke merely raised his head and swept a cold glance at him. That gaze was incomparably frigid, frightening Marcus into hurriedly flapping his wings and fleeing immediately.

However, as he flew away, he did not forget to utter some harsh words.

"Hahaha, isn't the brat wanting to kill me? If you have the guts, follow me. This time, I will be waiting for you at the prison!"

"If you are afraid of death, you can just find a place to hide."

Although his expression was arrogant, his gaze was fixed intently on Locke.

A very strong premonition in Marcus's heart was warning him:

He must eliminate Locke within a very short period, otherwise, he feared he would never have the means or opportunity to defeat Locke in the future.

Locke sheathed his knight's longsword, a very indifferent smile curling at the corner of his mouth:

"Rest assured, I will definitely go. I have claimed your head."

"Hmph! Then I will be waiting for you to come; just make sure you don't flee before the battle."

Seeing that Locke had fallen for the trap, Marcus sneered and flew west at maximum speed,

heading toward the location of William's imprisonment recorded on the map.

Locke, too lazy to look at him again, turned his gaze toward Alexander, who had a large hole in his chest and was leaning against a stone pillar.

"Are you people of the Vampire Clan?" Alexander asked, looking at Locke and Serena, who was walking slowly toward Locke.

Locke did not answer. Serena, cold on the outside but kind at heart, walked quickly to his front and replied:

"Yes, we are the ones who came to hunt down Marcus. How are you feeling? Are you still..."

Blood hung from the corner of Alexander's mouth. He shook his head, interrupting what Serena was about to say, and then looked at the two with pleading eyes:

"No need. I am beyond saving. Before I die, I just want to ask you two for a favor, is that possible?"

Serena's expression was somewhat conflicted; she did not immediately agree but turned her head to look at Locke, seeking his opinion.

Locke nodded calmly without speaking; he mainly wanted to leave the stage to Serena.

Of course, the main reason was also that he himself did not need the blood within Alexander.

Having received Locke's reply, Serena then said to Alexander:

"Whatever request you have, just say it. If it is something we can do, we will try our best."

"Cough, cough." Alexander's injuries looked very serious; he coughed up another large mouthful of blood and then reached out to grab Serena's arm.

"I only hope you can eliminate... cough, cough... eliminate Marcus and William, and stop them from continuing to commit evil."

"That is precisely the purpose of our trip."

"Then I will leave it to you."

While talking to Serena, Alexander kept stealing glances out of the corner of his eye at Locke, who was standing to the side without speaking, observing his every move,

and it was unknown what he was plotting.

Facing Alexander's yearning gaze, Serena nodded solemnly.

"Rest assured, my lover Locke and I will absolutely not let them go."

When Alexander heard this, his eyes flickered, and he extended his wrist toward Serena:

"You are a Vampire; surely the blood in my body will be helpful to you. Drink it."

"No need, I am not the type of person who craves blood." Serena refused subconsciously without even thinking.

Just then, Locke, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly spoke to dissuade her:

"Serena, how can you spurn the old man's good intentions? Drink it. Drink it, and later, when facing Marcus and William, our chances of winning will be greater."

Speaking to this point, he looked at Alexander with a meaningful gaze.

"I think the old man also intends to contribute before he dies, which is why he plans to give his blood to you. Just accept it."

Facing Locke's somewhat suspicious gaze, Alexander said calmly:

"That's right, just drink it. I couldn't bring myself to kill those two back then; that is the sin I have forged myself."

"Now that I am about to die, it would be better to transfer the energy contained within my body to you, allowing you to bring out its maximum effect."

"This..."

After hearing what the two said, Serena was stunned for a moment; it was mainly because she had not expected Locke to actually urge her at such a time.

She felt some hesitation in her heart.

Thus, she looked at Locke again, and Locke nodded calmly at her.

"Drink."

After all, in his eyes, this person Alexander deserved to die; the other party's behavior could not be called noble, nor could it be called base.

It was merely that, as a father at the time, he was unwilling to kill his own two children.

If one stood from the perspective of a father, there was no way to blame him for anything.

But standing from the perspective of an outsider like Locke, he was a thorough villain.

He was the culprit who caused all of this.

Because it was precisely due to his indulgence that the Vampires and Werewolves had slaughtered countless innocent people over these hundreds of years.

And those innocent people, whose children were they? Whose fathers? Whose mothers?

Was anyone deserving of death?

That was why he felt that this person Alexander deserved to die; even though he did not cause all of this with his own hands, he was absolutely not free of blame.

Seeing that Locke's attitude was firm, Serena closed her eyes and bit down on the artery in Alexander's hand.

As the blood flowed away, Alexander's body gradually became withered, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Locke confirmed from the side that Alexander was indeed dead, and only then did his suspicion toward him slightly diminish.

"Could it be my illusion, or am I too suspicious?"

In contrast, after drinking the blood of Alexander, this immortal being,

the aura on Serena's body became stronger bit by bit,

progressing step by step from the lowest-level Ghoul toward a Sequence 9 Vampire.

After about a few minutes, Alexander, with a smile, closed his eyes and completely turned into a mummified corpse; it looked like he was dead, dead beyond any doubt.

The aura on Serena stopped at the threshold of crossing into Sequence 9,

only a thin line away from becoming a true Extraordinary Creature.

At this moment, Serena's strength was significantly stronger than both Kraven and Victor,

and not weaker than Sophia, who had turned into a Flesh Ball and almost defeated Locke.

And perhaps after some time,

after she thoroughly digested the Extraordinary Factor hidden in the blood within her body, she would be able to step into Sequence 9.

Locke looked at Serena, who was about to become extraordinary, very satisfied, and thought:

"Although the general plot is different from the movie, these key details are indeed as I expected."

Serena wiped her mouth, then stood up and looked at Locke, her eyes filled with an expression of disbelief:

"Darling, what is this..."

"You are thinking correctly. After you fully digest it, you will be able to become an Extraordinary Creature like me."

Locke smiled.

"So, you knew early on that his blood would be useful to me, which is why you urged me to drink it?"

"Yes,"
