Count Dracula, as the most famous vampire in all realms and also the one with the highest appearance frequency, his story is incredibly widespread.
He is often referred to as Count or Duke, occasionally also known as the King of Vampires or the Progenitor of Vampires.
And behind each of these titles lies a story that is starkly different, either tragic or evil, making Dracula's image highly variable and abstract, difficult to judge.
In the film adaptation of The Hammer of the Gods, Count Dracula's character is relatively straightforward, being a thoroughly evil being.
He not only betrayed his father and the family belief, making a pact with the devil to become a vampire, but also aimed to use darkness to dominate the whole world and enslave all mankind.
All that might be forgivable, but the most despicable thing of all is that he has three wives, all slender-waisted and long-legged beauties, and now it's highly possible that there's even a fourth, or possibly two more.
Absolutely shameless!
The thought of Dracula partying with five gorgeous beauties every night sends a pang of jealousy through Wu Xian's face.
What a preposterous notion! Even someone who has an unfair advantage hasn't established a harem yet. How can a vampire enjoy such licentiousness?
Just for that reason alone, Count Dracula has found his death sentence, and today, we must scatter his ashes!
"Five dark creatures have arrived, with Dracula not among them. Besides his three vampire brides, the other two are werewolves."
At this moment, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, simultaneously displaying the surveillance footage he had seen to everyone in the Zhongzhou team through the mental network.
On the other side, upon hearing that dark creatures were approaching, Van Helsing's face immediately became serious. While the Weikin siblings were on high alert, they subconsciously looked towards Wu Xian, hoping that this powerful exterminator could make a decision.
"Two werewolves?"
Wu Xian raised an eyebrow, this was an unexpected twist in the plot. At the same time, he was more certain that the werewolf virus was just a decoy. After all, who would mass-produce something that could kill themselves—it's like a longevity master hanging himself—just to prolong their life?
"Don't worry, go and notify the villagers to find a safe place first. We, the professional exterminators, will take care of the rest."
Standing up from his chair, Wu Xian looked out at the sky outside the castle and flashed a cold smile: "This is the perfect opportunity to test the depths of Dracula's wives. If they're too weak, I'm not against going to Dracula's blood castle tonight and chopping off his bat head."
...
Ding-dong! Ding-dong————!
The Weikin siblings were highly efficient. Not long after Wu Xian gave his orders, the clear and tinkling sound of an alarm bell rang out through the ancient town.
This is the signal for the arrival of dark creatures. For many years, the townspeople here have relied on this bell to barely survive.
Therefore, upon hearing the bell, the entire population of the ancient town immediately dropped whatever they were doing and, using every ounce of energy, ran into the nearest dwellings.
Those with basements hid in them; those without sealed their doors and windows shut tight, moving chairs to block the entrances and exits. Their actions were so skilled that it was heart-wrenching to watch.
About five minutes later, as the wind howled in the sky, three white dots kept getting closer. Suddenly, they revealed to be three humanoid beings with wings.
Their entire bodies were pale without any hint of blood, and their humanoid figures were adorned with two pairs of pale bat wings. The upper part of their bodies featured a terrifyingly beautiful woman's head, but as soon as they opened their mouths, you could see rows of sharp fangs and pointed teeth that instantly quenched all desire.
Beings beyond... Ahem, these are the vampire brides in the movie, Dracula's three wives.
The three vampire brides, Winona, Elira, and Marica, are all exceptionally beautiful, but with wicked hearts. They are truly poisonous and beautiful women.
However, that is in their human form. Once they become vampires, the word "beautiful" loses its relevance to them. Unless there are some perverts with peculiar fetishes, it would be hard for normal people to develop any sexual interest in them.
In the original script, they only made their appearance after Van Helsing and his assistant entered the ancient town. Their purpose was to hunt down Anna and sever the last bloodline of Velaris.
However, with the intervention of the Zhongzhou team, Van Helsing has arrived in Transylvania nearly a month earlier than the original script. The timing doesn't match up.
Therefore, their sudden appearance today, aside from capturing ingredients, the most likely reason is because of the death of that werewolf, which has attracted Dracula's attention. Hence, he has dispatched them to gather information.
"Bang————！！！"
A bullet rings out, followed by the screams of one of the vampire brides, Elira.
Her left bat wing explodes into pieces, and she falls to the ground like a kite that has lost its string.
The other two vampire brides horror-stricken, watch the scene unfold and follow the direction of the gunshot.
In the distance, about a few kilometers away from the castle, a man with a sniper rifle was coldly watching them. He then changed the bullets, clearly intending to fire another shot.
"Bloody exterminator!!"
Sensing the danger approaching, the two vampire brides were shocked and angry. After cursing, they quickly flew up and enclosed themselves like eagles or falcons, ready to pounce on their prey. They instantly dived downwards, using the ancient buildings as cover to minimize the chances of being shot by the sniper's bullet.
Meanwhile, Winona, who had landed on the ground, had already healed herself. However, the pain from the fall was still fresh in her mind. Angered by what happened, she was about to rush to the castle to drain the blood of the person who attacked her.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flickered before her eyes.
As Elira reacted, the newly healed bat wing caused her pain once again. Turning her head, she saw that it was as if someone had forcefully pulled it off.
"Aaaaaaaaaah——————!!!"
A piercing scream shattered the eardrums, turning into visible ripples of sound waves that spread out. A few seconds later, the scream abruptly stopped, and a delicate hand forcefully pressed her open jaw back, nearly cutting off her tongue.
"So noisy!"
A cold voice rang in her ears, and then the world around her seemed to spin wildly. It took a while for her to regain her composure, but she felt utterly exhausted and overwhelmed by immense pain and fatigue.
Struggling to open her eyes, all she could see in front of her was a half-kneeling decapitated body, with blood gushing out from the neck and continuously spraying, emitting a stench of putrefaction.
"That's... my body?"
The thought crossed Elira's mind, and with that, her last conscious thought faded into darkness.
【Killed one vampire bride, rewarded with a C-grade side quest, rewarded points 2500】
"Wu Xian was right; this is indeed the correct way to carry out an assassination."
Looking at the broken bat wing in her hand, Zhao Yingkong's mouth curled into a smile.
In fact, as one of Dracula's brides, Elira's strength is not weak at all. At the very least, she is of the level of a vampire count in the main god space.
Even though she has various weaknesses, in terms of absolute strength, crushing more than a dozen Zhao Yingkong is definitely not a problem.
If it were in the past, even if Zhao Yingkong had unlocked her genetic lock, she would still not be able to break through the opponent's defense due to the significant gap in basic attributes.
But things are different now. Zhao Yingkong's hybrid blood from the Golden Horned Giant beast has endowed her with physical fitness far exceeding her peers.
Great strength combined with agility is the quality a powerful assassin should possess. This is what allows her to easily kill a vampire bride.
