91: Instant kill

Marcus did not recognize the Vampire who had just awakened him in the secret chamber.

However, the moment the other party arrived, he told him that someone wanted to kill him and urged him to leave immediately.

At first, Marcus did not take it entirely seriously, believing instead that this person had disturbed his slumber.

Furthermore, feeling somewhat hungry and thirsty, he immediately drained the Vampire of his blood.

However, he felt that the blood he had just drained from the Vampire was not fresh at all.

It was like the most trashy blood, stored within a body and completely stagnant.

Moreover, the Vampire's behavior appeared dull and sluggish in his eyes, just like a puppet.

Therefore, he did not hesitate in the slightest to finish the other party off.

However, he did not completely disbelieve it either, and before Locke Galahad arrived, he quietly hid in the skylight above.

If he discovered that Locke Galahad's strength was weaker than his own, he would attack without hesitation.

But when Locke Galahad arrived, Marcus easily sensed the aura of a Sequence 9 that Locke Galahad had not fully concealed.

And it was not an ordinary Sequence 9, but rather a powerhouse among the Sequence 9s.

Although he did not know how Locke Galahad had managed it, just from that one moment, he knew that if they were to fight one-on-one, he would be no match.

That was why he did not choose to launch a sneak attack when he had such a good opportunity, but instead flapped his wings and left his secret chamber.

The reason he dared to risk staying behind to confirm Locke Galahad's strength was that he relied on the advantage of being able to fly.

One must know that there are likely only a handful of individuals in Sequence 9 who possess the ability to fly, and he was undoubtedly among the best of them.

What he did not know, however, was that in the dark night not far behind him, a large swarm of bats was following him under Locke Galahad's orders.

From the memories of that puppet earlier, Marcus learned that the Werewolf Clan was currently on the outskirts of the Vampire ancient castle.

Therefore, he also learned that the Werewolf who held half of the map was there too.

This made him very excited, and he immediately widened his eyes, searching through the dark night.

"Found you!"

It did not take long for him to find Lucien, who was still guarding Sophia.

The necklace hanging around Lucien's neck immediately caught his attention.

In the past, when Victor was still alive, he had no opportunity, nor was it appropriate to violate the original agreement to release William.

But now that he knew Victor was dead, combined with the fact that someone stronger than the average Sequence 9 was hunting him, he made up his mind to awaken his own brother, William, and then establish his own kingdom in America.

Thinking of this, he glanced back, and confirming that Locke Galahad had not followed, he sneered:

"Brat, I'll leave this castle to you for now. Don't think that just because you are stronger than an ordinary Sequence 9, you can act recklessly."

"No matter how strong you are, you are only one person. Once I awaken William, with the two of us, both Sequence 9, joining forces, you can just wait for your death, hehe."

The thought flashed through his mind.

Then, like a goshawk swooping down on its prey, Marcus suddenly dove diagonally downward, rushing toward Lucien at an extremely fast speed.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Lucien, who was guarding his surroundings, suddenly felt an extremely intense killing intent locking onto him from afar.

And under his faint perception, Lucien was surprised to discover that the opponent's aura was not much weaker than that of Locke Galahad, who had slain Victor before his eyes earlier.

This discovery immediately heightened his vigilance. He transformed into a Werewolf, raised his sharp claws, and looked around warily:

"Who is it! Get out here, don't do such sneaky things behind my back."

"Hehe, hmm!"

Responding to him was a sinister sneer.

"You wolf cub, I didn't expect your sensing ability to be quite good, but it's too late!"

Before the words had even faded, Marcus slammed toward Lucien like a sharp sword.

"Not good!" Upon hearing the voice coming from above, Lucien immediately looked up and raised his wolf claws to resist.

But when he saw Marcus's face and figure clearly, alarm bells rang in his heart.

He had once been a slave in the Vampire tribe for a period of time, so he knew who the person in front of him was.

"Damn it, why is it this guy? How did he manage to escape?"

He knew that in a one-on-one fight, he was absolutely no match for this monster Marcus, so he immediately canceled his original attack preparations,

then gathered all his strength into his claws, tensed his legs, and slowly crouched down, preparing to withstand the impact.

Seeing him neither dodging nor evading, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Marcus's mouth:

"Quite a brave wolf cub, you have guts. You recognize me, yet you dare to block my path and choose to go head-to-head with me? You really must be courting death."

No sooner said than done.

Marcus did not hold back at all; his entire body, like a blade descending from the heavens, slammed violently into Lucien.

Although Lucien had mentally prepared himself, the moment his claws collided with Marcus's, his heart was churned by stormy waves:

"Is the gap in strength really this big!"

He had not expected that a single blow would shatter his claws along with the bones inside.

The entire person was knocked backward repeatedly under such a massive impact, leaving behind pits all over the ground.

Not only that, but even the muscles all over his body were oozing blood from this attack.

He was clearly heavily injured and no longer had the ability to fight.

In truth, it was not that the gap in strength between him and Marcus was actually this large.

It was mainly because Marcus's attack came from above, so it not only contained his own power as a Sequence 9, but also the bonus from Earth's gravity.

This move could be considered his strongest attack.

After fusing his own power with gravity, this move was almost twice as powerful as his usual strikes.

Therefore, it was normal that Lucien could not withstand it.

If he had fought Lucien directly on the ground, although it would still have been a one-sided situation, it would never have been resolved in just one move like this.

Seeing that Lucien had not died after resisting his ultimate attack, and having not discovered any sign of Locke Galahad pursuing him, Marcus lost the sense of urgency he had felt while fleeing earlier.

Thus, after landing, he actually began to comment with great interest:

"Wolf cub, your physical body seems pretty good compared to ordinary Werewolves, but I wonder if your blood is delicious enough?"

Vampires are very sensitive to the scent of blood.

When he smelled the scent of blood drifting through the air from Lucien, he swallowed uncontrollably, then even stuck out his tongue to lick his somewhat dry lips.

Although he had previously consumed the blood of a Vampire, the energy that Vampire's blood provided was very mediocre and had not been able to fully restore him from his dormant state.

Now that he had discovered prey with high-quality blood, Marcus naturally developed a hunting instinct.

Thus, he revealed a pair of iconic Vampire fangs, and stared at Lucien's neck as he slowly walked over.
