our family is gone

Chapter 847 Scarlet Courtyard (8)

Under Yulia's guidance, Lance followed into the core area, which was also the place where the curse she mentioned was the strongest.

However, it was not the "palace" that Lance understood. Instead, it was an area of ​​brick and stone ground that had sunk into a swamp, with no buildings around it.

There were all kinds of trees growing on the swamp, but for unknown reasons they had withered and collapsed, forming a messy scene. However, what stood out among them was a huge insect cocoon that was at least four or five meters high. It was much larger than the cocoons that were burned along the way, which were at most one person high.

From a distance you can see that it is covered with moss, and when you get closer you can see that it is the center, with a large number of throbbing cocoons distributed around it.

The two looked at the cocoon and seemed to understand something: the big guy was inside.

Lance also understood why the ancestor was gone and the seal was dissipating, but these blood descendants did not spread out. Only those mosquitoes, flies, pestilence insects and animals that accidentally entered the area to suck blood.

It turned out that the most core guy was still asleep, and most of the remaining blood descendants who had been imprisoned for so many years had no brains and naturally could not react.

Yulia didn't have so many thoughts. The urge of revenge made her unable to bear it anymore, but Lance, who had no reaction until now, persuaded her and stopped her.

"Don't worry, let me shoot first."

Lance looked at the cocoon that was as exaggerated as a two-story building, and took out a large-caliber cannon directly in front of Yulia.

Artillery had been used in the farm battle against the Sleepers, but Lance found that the six-pound and eight-pound field artillery were mostly ineffective against the monsters he had to face.

So after returning, he immediately found a heavy artillery. As soon as he took it out, it began to sink. The weight was too heavy and the frame could not support it in the swamp. However, it was enough for him to fire a shot.

"Oh!"

A thunderous explosion echoed over the empty swamp. The shocking power made Julia stunned for a moment. If she knew that this artillery was produced in Totnes, she would probably feel even more complicated.

But there was no time to waste on the two of them, because the shell penetrated directly and tore the giant cocoon in front of them, and a large amount of blood gushed out and splashed. The mosquitoes, flies and insects that were also dormant in the surroundings rose up and gathered, covering the surroundings like a dark cloud.

Soon the giant cocoon collapsed, but the things inside did not die, and they appeared in reality.

It was a very large figure, more than two meters tall, with a human-shaped upper body, wearing a court dress that was absolutely gorgeous at the time, and holding a fan that covered most of its face.

But its length is extremely exaggerated, because like other blood descendants, it has a huge and fat insect body.

From the front, you can see the tattered hem and tassels of the dress, with two uneven black shells covering the sides, tiny spike-like limbs growing around the waist, and finally three pairs of legs supporting the huge body.

The back half of the insect's body was very exaggerated. The tail was covered with a thick shell and there was a sharp thorn at the end. Under the abdomen were countless densely packed nipples, which were bright red and made people feel uncomfortable.

The Countess has arrived! She is unrecognizable, disgraced and determined to exact a terrible revenge!

However, that thing did not seem to have lost its mind. On the contrary, it covered its face with the fan in its hand, leaving only that weird look to look at Yulia. Although no one knew why it did not speak, one could feel the sarcasm and mockery in its eyes.

But it didn't seem to care about the ordinary Lance at all...

Lance didn't care. He collected the cannon that was about to fall into the swamp like Xiao Tomoyu.

When this guy appeared, Lance felt a little strange. The countess was able to enter the courtyard as a human and charmed many people. It must be the human form of Julia.

The reason why it has become like this now is probably because the ancestor killed him, and then he suffered losses after bleeding himself to make wine, which led to the current out-of-control situation.

According to Yulia's explanation, the scarlet curse is also a kind of power. Perhaps this is the price of the backlash of uncontrolled supernatural power.

Yulia didn't waste any time. When she saw the Countess being blown out, she just picked up her sword and attacked her without hiding her anger.

revenge!

A roar released a terrifying aura, and the distance between the two sides quickly shortened. The Countess's huge body did not allow much space to dodge, so the two sides started fighting directly.

Lance did not rush to take action, but began to clear the surrounding insect nests and blood cocoons, and took out the holy grail to take away the lingering mosquitoes.

Of course, he also paid attention to watching the fierce battle. He was still very curious about how the Earl defeated the Duke, and then he saw the Earl's face hidden by the fan.

It is just like the blood descendants seen before, with a mouth full of fangs and fangs pointing outward, and its attack method is even more weird. It opens its mouth wide and extends a thick fallopian tube from it, with fleshy tentacles like sea anemones at the end that keep wriggling.

It wants to excrete strange blood eggs similar to the facehugger and parasitize on humans. When this thing touches a living thing, it will extend its tentacles to take root in the flesh and blood and bind directly, extracting blood to develop, and then hatch and explode to cause damage.

But its opponent is Yulia, who is also of the same bloodline.

He would raise his hands without any hesitation, tear apart the blood eggs, throw them on the ground and stomp them to pieces, or he would just swing his sword and cut the pipes in half.

Moreover, the two sides had fought before, and without the intelligence advantage of the first kill, the count was immediately at a disadvantage when facing Julia, because his huge body could not avoid the sword at all.

Fortunately, the thick shell took on most of the damage, but the Count's counterattack seemed a little weak and could not stop Yulia at all.

Lance found this scene a little strange. This seemed to be a one-sided situation. How did the Count defeat Julia before?

Could it be that the bombardment I just did on the cocoon caused it to become weak?

Soon the Countess told Lance the answer, because only those who enter the bloodthirsty state can be true blood descendants.

Metamorphosis!

Although it was originally weird, it still had a somewhat harmonious beauty. However, when the Countess instantly entered a bloodthirsty state, her body underwent very ugly changes.

No one knew where the fan had been lost, his face had completely turned into an insect, with no human facial features, his mouth had grown to an exaggerated size as big as a sword, and his mouth was full of fangs, with three layers of chin that looked very greasy.

But this was just a small matter, because something even more disgusting was yet to come. The court dress was directly torn to pieces, and countless red pustules could be seen growing from the shoulders to the back.

The arms turned into limbs, and another two pairs of legs grew out from the waist, like a praying mantis's sickle waiting for prey. The swollen abdomen contrasted with the blood-red inside, and the lower part that was originally obscured was revealed, which was full of rotten holes like a bug's nest.

The layer of carapace covering the front of the body became three overlapping layers, but the red pustules spreading from the bottom layer of flesh and blood propped it up and could not cover the body. The three pairs of legs also became thicker and stronger, only in this way could they support the fatter body that was swollen than before, and even the cyst on the tail was smoothed out by the swollen tail.

How can such a horrifying thing exist in this world...

But the countess didn't need an answer. The moment she entered the state, she was controlled by bloodthirsty desire and attacked Yulia fiercely.

Hungry!

The sword-like mouthparts were waving, the long and fierce tongue was sticking out of the mouth, and the six knife-like limbs were waving. Under the strong desire to attack, Yulia, who was originally in an advantageous position, was instantly in trouble.

No matter how fast her sword was, it could not be faster than the six pop-out spikes, not to mention the protection provided by the triple armor. The Iron Maiden could block some of the damage, but the force of the whipping tongue could knock her over, and she was even bitten, and something was immediately taken away from her, leaving her weak. On the contrary, the Countess recovered.

The situation really took a turn for the worse...

Lance also noticed the change in the situation and realized that it was not the time to watch the show, so he immediately raised the Holy Grail and swung it out.

He did not leave immediately, but instead used the power of the Holy Grail to explode the two cocoons that were scattered everywhere, extracted the power inside, and under control turned it into a rocket shell that hit the monster's face, directly interrupting its continuous attack and rescuing Yulia from its mouth.

Then he raised his hand and no longer did the previous stingy drops, but ten drops turned into a blood bead and flew out into Yulia's mouth, instantly filling her emptiness and saving her from weakness.

But Yulia knew that it would be difficult for her to defeat the Countess as she was now. If she wanted to defeat the monster, she had to become a monster.

That means she's planning to stop being a human being!
Horrible torture!

That force was what pushed her to complete the final transformation. Intense pain seemed to be manifested in her body. Even her strong will couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, or perhaps it was a roar of anger.

Then Lance on the side saw a very outrageous scene. After Yulia swallowed the essence and blood he gave her, she stabbed the big sword with her backhand, and her whole body began to twist and change in pain.

After a brief moment of daze, a monster appeared on the scene. It was a giant leech that was two or three meters tall when standing.

The overall shape is streamlined, with a narrowed tail supporting the body. The back is a black iron metal base with dark black stripes, while the bottom is red with countless suction cups and mouthparts.

There are not many facial features on its head, but its big mouth can easily swallow a person when opened, not to mention the serrated teeth on it that can tear and cut anything. If you are bitten by it, you will probably be dead immediately.

Arms extended to the left and right, each with four-fingered claws that could undoubtedly tear through flesh with ease.

It doesn’t have the Countess’s excessive fancy distortions, which gives people the feeling of a failed product. On the contrary, the degree of completion is very high, just like a tentacle transformed into a red and black leech.

Only then did Lance notice that the Iron Maiden had become a part of his body, while the greatsword did not seem to be a single piece.

But none of this matters anymore, now he is only focused on one thing.

Now in front of him was a leech fighting a mosquito. Where the hell could he see such a scene? It was worth it for him to rescue Yulia.

This is worth the money!
As soon as the beast transformed by Yulia appeared, she rushed towards the monster transformed by the countess.

They may be slightly inferior in size, but they are just as ferocious, and the two sides are on the verge of fighting.

You swing your sharp thorns to cut me, and I swing my sharp claws to tear my flesh. You bite me, and I eat you. The battle between the two sides was so fierce that the scene was full of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

It just so happens that both of them have the ability to recover. They continue to cause damage, but they also recover by biting others to suck blood, which is as outrageous as a blood exchange. If the fight continues like this, it is estimated that the blood of both sides will not be their own.

Lance, who was watching the fight from the side, could see that after Yulia turned into a beast, they seemed to be evenly matched, but the Countess still had strong armor and thick blood, and Yulia was still at a disadvantage. If it continued like this, there was no telling how long the fight would end.

After waiting for a while, as the wounds on her body increased and blood was lost, Yulia began to lose the ferocity she had at the beginning of her transformation.

Ultimately, it was because Yulia did not fully embrace the scarlet curse, but wanted to control this power, which resulted in her being unable to consume the countess who was completely controlled by the curse.

More importantly, the pestilence released by the Countess was constantly devouring the place like an ever-changing black cloud, which could even suck the leeches dry.

Lance knew it was time for him to step in and help, so he shouted loudly.

"I'm here to help you!"

After saying that, he rushed forward and raised the Holy Grail towards the dark cloud composed of mosquitoes, flies, plague insects.

"My Holy Grail is for you mosquitoes, come here quickly!"

Because they were two vampires who could suck blood, Lance didn't dare to crush them directly, but chose to drag the mosquito away.

The mosquitoes lingering around the leeches could not resist the power of the Holy Grail at all. The blood in their bodies was controlled, and they broke away from the battle and flew in front of Lance. There was no need to worry at this time, he could just crush them to extract their essence and blood.

But Lance did not just wait there, but took out his greatsword and swung with all his strength. A stream of blood-red sword energy slashed down, directly cutting off a sharp limb, and the triple shell on his body broke two layers before he was able to block it, but it also interrupted the monster's pursuit.

"Open your mouth!"

Lance controlled the blood drops to fly into Yulia's big mouth in beast form. Her weak condition improved slightly, and the large wounds on her body began to heal slightly. It can only be said that she still has a strong inhuman physique.

At the same time, Lance also tested whether Yulia's consciousness was still controlling her body. Now it seems that he was too suspicious.

The Countess seemed to sense something, and plague insects kept rushing out from the insect nest in her abdomen, trying to repeat the same trick. However, Lance killed as many as they came, and the Countess was the one who consumed the plague insects and her condition deteriorated.

Yulia took the damage head-on, but after getting support from Lance, she turned around.

At this time, he took the opportunity to go around and stabbed the tail that was swollen with blood with his sword.

Lance's sword was not so wide, but it was not less long at all. The whole sword was more than two meters long. This time, it couldn't penetrate the Countess even after it was penetrated. You can imagine how huge the Countess was.

But the demon's eyes brightened a little, and the power that was exhausted in the previous attack was quickly replenished. The price was the Countess's crazy screams and the spikes of the tail slashing...
