“Gabriel...”
Vanhelsing repeated the name, his expression slightly dazed.
As a hunter who was cultivated by the church, even though Vanhelsing dislikes reading, he knows that "Gabriel" is one of the four archangels, and the highest-ranking among all angels.
In legend, Gabriel and another archangel Michael are respectively positioned on either side of God, thus also known as the "God's left hand" and "the left of the throne," etc. They are usually responsible for listening to and transmitting God's divine will, equivalent to a role of private secretary, holding a definite status in heaven.
Of course, Van Helsing doesn't believe he is that archangel or a reincarnation of Him.
After all, according to the description in the Bible, that one's appearance should be more similar to a woman, while he is a pure man with secular desires, obviously not in line with the setting of that archangel.
So Van Helsing guesses that before he lost his memory, he probably worked for the church as well, and had extremely outstanding merits to be granted this sacred name.
Otherwise, in the feudal era with divine authority supreme hundreds of years ago, there really weren't many parents who dared to name their own children with the names of archangels.
So the question is: why would Dracula know him and act so familiar.
Could it be that the reason for his memory loss was also related to the other party?
As Van Helsing stood there in a daze, brainstorming, the conflict between the Middle Earth team and Dracula had already begun.
Clearly, because they had seen the movie in advance, all the members of the Middle Earth team had already guessed Van Helsing's true identity, and would not feel surprised.
Moreover, as reincarnates, the Middle Earth team is simply a visitor to this world. Even if there really is a heaven, it has little to do with them.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Van Helsing's original name is Gabriel or Jesus. It won't hinder them from killing Dracula and completing the task of the main god.
"Hah!"
There is no doubt that the first to take action is Zheng Chasha, who is the second strongest person in the Middle Earth.
Seeing him take out a giant black-red axe from the space bag, raise it high with both hands, and deliver a powerful jump slash at Dracula.
A terrifying force, wrapped in the whirlwind, surged forth with a thunderous impact, the air itself seemed to emit a piercing screech of friction.
Seeing this scene, Dracula wasn't at all panic-stricken. His body seemed like a phantom, disappearing without a trace, allowing Zheng Chasha's fierce attack to fall empty.
The place where he had stood just now was blown into a rubble hole by the huge force, sending up a lot of smoke and dust with the collapsed earth and rocks.
"As a vampire, you are too rough."
The mocking voice came from Zheng Chasha's ear, but Dracula appeared behind him, and the nails of his five fingers stretched out like claws, straight at Zheng Chasha's back, as if he wanted to talk to him heart to heart.
However, at this moment, Zheng Chasha's body suddenly burst into flame, the color of which was bright and transparent, like jade.
"Sizzle!!"
And when Dracula's palm touched this flame, it shrank back like a hot iron, not only that, but the flame seemed to catch on fire right away, and even reached the elbow in just a blink of an eye.
Severe pain rushed in, Dracula was surprised and angry. He lifted the other hand, pointing like a knife, wrapping up dark energy, and fiercely hit the burning arm. The arm was broken at the root and then quickly swept outwards, colliding with Zheng Chasha's axe turning around to slash.
Clang!!!
The sound of metals clashing echoed in the air, with sparks flying everywhere.
A huge force surged from the axe handle, shaking Zheng Chasha's arm and causing him to slide along the ground for more than ten meters before finally stopping, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It is obvious that Dracula's strength exceeds Zheng Chasha's imagination. And according to Zhan Lan's words, the one before them might just be a clone, so how strong could the original be?
What kind of flame is that?!
On the other side, Dracula was also surprised. Looking at the flame burning on Zheng Chasha's body, his eyes revealed a trace of apprehension and at the same time a deep sense of confusion.
If he hadn't felt wrong just now, the flame on this young vampire's body seemed to have the ability to burn souls and annihilate negative energy, especially against dark creatures, making it invincible.
The problem is... how did you, a vampire, acquire such skills? Don't you worry about hurting yourself?
While he was thinking about it, a shadow flashed by in front of him. It was Zao Yingkong wearing nanomaterial battle suit, appearing like a ghost beside Dracula.
In her hand, she held a short golden sword etched with complex runes, emitting a faint glow.
The girl's eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent. She quickly stretched out her hand and inserted the short sword, aiming for Dracula's ribcage, intending to pierce his heart.
Feeling the threat from the short sword, Dracula frowned slightly and suddenly turned into hundreds of bats to scatter, avoiding Zao Yingkong's attack.
But at this moment, a terrifying force fluctuation descended from the sky, wrapping all these bats up like an invisible big hand, making them unable to escape.
At a distance of about 10 meters, Zhan Lan's expression turned into confusion, his eyes emitting a dim white light, and he had indeed entered the second phase of gene lock.
The next second, a cold sniff was heard, and it was Zhan Lan who fully unleashed his A-grade telepathic power, instantly squeezing the trapped black bats to pieces, turning them into smelly bloodwater that scattered and splashed everywhere.
Are they dead?
Of course not!
Thump!!!
A hammer and a sword were almost simultaneously swung towards Van Helsing's back, hitting Dracula and making him fly out with a thud.
At the same time, Cheng Xiao and Wang Xiao, who had been ready for a while, rushed forward.
The former danced with his sword and knife, in a fleeting moment, unleashing hundreds of strikes, with the swordsmanship and knife skills all landing in the dark void where Dracula had disappeared, causing an incredibly violent wave of energy.
The latter was not to be outdone, his fists flashing a shadow in the air, releasing a dominant qi carrying nuclear radiation, creating an intense blaze visible to the naked eye.
"Roar roar roar——————!!!"
A roar sounded, Dracula turned into a three-meter-tall humanoid bat, resisting the furious attack and flying towards Cheng and Wang's bodies. He swatted them away with one hand each, then continued to charge at Van Helsing's direction.
Rumble rumble————!!
The ground shook beneath his feet, and numerous vines and thick tree roots burst forth like countless snakes, wrapping tightly around Dracula's massive body.
Following that, two rows of earth walls rose abruptly and then closed suddenly, trapping Dracula temporarily with the tree roots and vines.
The next second, the entire Middle Earth team rushed up. First, it was Zhan Lan, Qitingyi, and Zhu Peng, etc. who were remote attackers, continuously pressuring Dracula's mobility. Then, it was Zheng Chasha's turn as the leader of the close-combat people, who concentrated their strongest attack on Dracula's body and tried to solve this clone once and for all.
As expected, it failed again.
At this moment, the Middle Earth team encountered an embarrassing situation similar to that of Wu Xian.
Dracula couldn't defeat them, but they couldn't kill him either.
Of course, there are still differences between the two. For example, the other Dracula can't do anything to Wu Xian at all, and even can't break through his basic defense.
But this Dracula has the ability to harm most of the Middle Earth team members, and once he succeeds even once, the Middle Earth team will be in danger.
At the same time, Van Helsing, who had just recovered from his confusion, looked at Dracula, who was about to break free from his constraints, and his expression became extremely serious.
Footsteps sounded, Chu Xuan walked to his side and said.
"Van Helsing, we need your help."
