Chapter 11 - The smoke of the castle and the fangs of the traitor

The engine of the vampire main ship traced a silver-blue trail in the night sky. As it passed through the clouds of the Alps, the European continent below was already shrouded in darkness. Lin Yuan leaned against the porthole, his fingertips sliding across the warm surface of the Wolf God's heart. Fen En's voice came from the communicator intermittently, mixed with the explosive sound of energy impact: "Young master, Valerus has destroyed the defense barrier of the settlement with blood energy runes. The eastern tower has fallen. The Tor Clan leader has led his people to retreat to the core area of the ancient castle, but his spiritual energy is about to give up!"

Sylvia stood in front of the console, her silver-blue psychic power condensed into a data stream at her fingertips, quickly cracking the encrypted information that Valerius had left in the parliament system. "He's no ordinary traitor," her voice was filled with suppressed rage. Information about Valerius appeared on the screen - with long silver-white hair and three claw marks on his left cheek. His abilities were to control blood energy and dark runes. "He was once a combat elder of the council. Fifty years ago, he was exiled because he coveted the power of the Wolf God. He never expected to secretly side with Raimon." His blood energy can devour the spiritual energy of vampires, so my attack will be discounted against him."

Elena is forging new weapons with her psychic powers. Metal melts into liquid in her palm and then solidifies into chains with the pattern of holy silver: "Blood is afraid of holy silver and the power of nature, but we can't invoke the power of nature for the time being." However, my metal can transmit Lin Yuan's Wolf God power, and thus I can create weapons to counter him." She handed a chain to Lin Yuan. The moment the chain touched the heart of the Wolf God, a pale golden glow spread across its surface.

When the main ship landed on the plain outside the Wolf Tribe's ancient castle, black smoke could be seen from afar above the castle. The broken defense barrier was like shattered glass, glimmering faintly in the night sky. Valerus' men - a group of vampire traitors in black leather armor - were using their blood energy to storm the iron gate of the ancient castle. The Wolf god runes on the iron gate were corroded by the blood mist, emitting a "sizzle" wailing.

"Act as planned!" Lin Yuan was the first to leap down the gangway. The golden light of the Wolf God's heart formed a shield around him, and the silver-white Wolf fur spread along his arms. Sylvia's long silver sword was unsheathed. Her spiritual energy merged with the moonlight, drawing a cold arc that instantly pierced the hearts of the two traitors. She deliberately avoided the range of their blood energy attacks, and the blade only touched the holy silver light, not the flesh and blood.

Elena's metal chain flew out like a spiritual snake, entangling a traitor's ankle. The golden light on the chain burst forth, instantly purifying the opponent's blood energy. "Lin Yuan, there's a tunnel on the east side of the ancient castle. Finn is there to meet you!" " She controlled the metal to build a temporary barrier ahead to block the incoming blood energy rays. "I'll hold them back here. You go and rescue the clan leader first!" "

Lin Yuan and Sylvia sped along the tunnel. The torches on the tunnel walls swayed in the wind, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of a mixture of Wolf spirit energy and blood energy. When he reached the exit of the tunnel, Finn was holding a battle axe and standing guard there. His armor was covered in blood. The moment he saw Lin Yuan, tears welled up in his red eyes: "Young master, you've finally come!" The clan leader is controlling the core runes at the top floor, and Valerius is leading his trusted followers to besiege them up there!"

On the spiral staircase of the ancient castle, blood energy runes were engraved all over the stone walls, and with every step, one could feel a bone-chilling cold. Sylvia's steps suddenly stopped. She pressed her chest, and her silver-blue psychic energy trembled slightly. "He created a realm with his blood energy on it. My psychic energy has been suppressed." Lin Yuan brought the heart of the Wolf God close to her forehead, and golden light rushed into her body. "Use my spiritual energy to neutralize his blood energy. Let's go up together."

In the council hall on the top floor, the Tor clan leader was slumped in the center of the rune array, with a blood energy spear stuck in his chest, and his spiritual energy was rapidly draining away. Valerius had his back to the door, his long silver-white hair hanging behind him. He was using the blood energy from his fingertips to outline runes, attempting to forcibly strip away the remaining power of the Wolf God in the rune array. Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around. The three claw marks on his left face were particularly fierce in the firelle: "Sylvia, my little niece, you really came back with your werewolf cub." "

"Valerius, you betrayed the council and harmed your people. Aren't you afraid of being deprived of your vampire status?" Sylvia's long sword was pointed at him. Her psychic power was stabilized again under the golden light. "The law enforcement team of the Council is already on the way. You can't escape." Valerius gave a sneer and raised his hand to throw out a blood energy blade, which was easily blocked by Lin Yuan with his Wolf claws: "Escape?" I have never thought of running away. When I obtain the Heart of the Wolf God and the Heart of Pure Blood, and merge them to become the Lord of Darkness, all those old things in the Council will have to kneel before me."

Lin Yuan helped the Chieftain Thor to one side. The light of the Wolf God's heart fell on the chieftain's wound, slowing down the loss of his spiritual energy. You, like Raymond, have been blinded by power. The illusionary figure of Lin Yuan's Wolf God condensed behind him. His silver-white Wolf claws glowed with golden light. "The bone spurs of the ice castle and the black claws of the rainforest were all defeated by us. You won't be an exception either."

"Arrogant!" " Valerius suddenly stepped on the ground, and the blood energy runes on the ground instantly lit up. Countless blood spikes shot out from the ground and headed towards Lin Yuan. Sylvia's long sword slashed through a silver light net, blocking part of the blood spikes, and at the same time shouted, "His blood energy needs a carrier. Don't let the blood spikes touch it!" Lin Yuan leaped up, his Wolf claws grasping the chandelier above his head, and with the help of it, he turned over and landed behind Valerius. The golden psychic claw blade slashed at the back of his neck.

Valerius sidestepped to avoid it. The blood on his fingertips could condense into a shield, blocking the subsequent attacks. "Your Wolf God power is indeed formidable, but my blood energy can devour the power of all living things." " He licked his lips and stared greedily at the Wolf God Heart in Lin Yuan's arms. "As long as you drain your spiritual energy, the Wolf God Heart will be mine." " He suddenly spread his arms wide, and the blood mist in the council hall instantly condensed, transforming into a huge blood Wolf and pouncing towards Lin Yuan.

"Use this!" Sylvia threw a sacred silver dagger at Lin Yuan. The dagger was engraved with the purification runes of the Council. "The sacred silver can restrain his blood energy!" Lin Yuan caught the dagger and injected the power of the Wolf God into it. Instantly, the dagger burst out with dazzling light. He charged towards the blood Wolf. The moment the dagger pierced the blood Wolf's head, the blood Wolf let out a shrill scream and turned into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated.

Valerius spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly having been counterattacked. He looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief: "Impossible!" How could your psychic power be so strong?" Lin Yuan didn't reply. Wolf Ears caught the footsteps coming from outside the door - Elena led several Wolf warriors in, and the metal chains entangled all the remaining traitors. "Your men have been dealt with, Valerius." Elena's metallic claws glowed coldly. "Now, it's time to settle accounts."

In a desperate situation, Valerius suddenly burst into wild laughter. He forcefully thrust his hand into his chest and pulled out a beating blood-red heart - that was the "blood core" condensed from the spiritual energy of dozens of vampire people he had gathered. "Since we can't get it, let's destroy it together!" " He raised the blood core above his head, and the light of the blood energy runes reached its peak. The entire ancient castle began to shake violently. "I will make this ancient castle your tomb!"

"Take the clan leader away quickly!" " Lin Yuan shouted as he pushed Sylvia and the Tor Clan leader towards the door, while he himself clenched the Holy silver dagger and charged towards Valerius. He unleashed all the power of the Wolf God's heart. The illusory figure of the Wolf God behind him merged with him, and a silvery white light enveloped the entire council hall. "In the name of Lin Yuan, the son of Ella and the guardian of the Wolf race, purify the darkness!"

The moment the sacred silver dagger pierced through the blood core, dazzling golden light and blood-red energy burst out simultaneously. A large hole was blown in the wall of the council hall, and rocks rustled down. Lin Yuan was blown away by the shockwave, but Sylvia rushed back in time and protected him with her psychic shield. When the light faded away, Valerius had vanished without a trace, leaving only a pool of black ashes, and all the blood energy runes had gone out.

Lin Yuan propped himself up. The light of the Wolf God's heart was somewhat dim, clearly having been consumed too much. Chief Thor walked up to him and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Lin Yuan." You not only saved us, but also paid off the traitors in the parliament. Finn handed over a water bag and added, "The law enforcement team of the parliament has arrived. They said they would take credit for you."

Sylvia examined the rune array in the Council Hall, her brows slightly furrowed. "Although Valerius is dead, there are still strange energy fluctuations remaining in his blood core, which are of the same origin as the dark energy of the Gates of Hell." She retrieved the news from the law enforcement team. An ancient map appeared on the screen, "The Council found this in Valerius' hiding place, marking the last node of the Gates of Hell - the Egyptian pyramids."

Lin Yuan took the map. The heart of the Wolf God felt slightly warm in his palm and resonated with a certain mark on the map. "The last node?" He looked out of the window at the rising sun. Golden sunlight was shining on the ruins of the ancient castle. "Whether it's the desert or the pyramids, we must go." Only by completely sealing all the nodes can the gates of hell not open.

Elena leaned against the door frame, and the metal claw blade slowly retracted: "Egypt, I haven't seen the pyramids yet." Just right, my metal control can also be used in the desert." Sylvia put the map away, her silver pupils brimming with determination: "The Council will send a fleet to support us. This time, we must completely eliminate the dark forces." "

Three days later, the restoration work of the ancient castle was underway, and smiles appeared on the faces of the Wolf tribe members again. Lin Yuan stood on the top of the tower of the ancient castle. The heart of the Wolf God in his arms echoed with the totem necklace and the silver Wolf pendant on his chest, and a warm power flowed through his entire body. The voice of Green Feather came from the communicator, carrying the wind of the rainforest: "Lin Yuan, I saw from ancient books that the guardian of Egypt is the desert Wolf spirit. If you need it, I can bring my people to offer support." "

"Thank you, Green Feather." " Lin Yuan's lips curved into a smile. "But this time, let's go and find out the situation first." If I need help, I will contact you at the first time. He hung up the communication and turned to walk towards Sylvia and Elena who were waiting at the foot of the tower. The engine of the Vampire main ship has been activated and is flying towards Africa.

Sunlight shone on the metal hull of the main ship, reflecting dazzling light. Lin Yuan knew that within the pyramids of Egypt, there must be more ancient secrets and more powerful dark forces hidden. But he was no longer afraid, for he had the most reliable companions by his side and the support of the alliance of all ethnic groups behind him. The journey to break free from the shackles is about to usher in a new chapter between the desert and the pyramids.
