【What's wrong Chu Xuan, is there something wrong?】
Zheng Zha sent out an inquiry through the mind network, and the other members of the Zhongzhou team also looked over, with confusion on their faces.
Why stop Van Helsing? This way of directly completing the task seems good, doesn't it?
【Van Helsing has a problem. Just now he deliberately sought death. Keep everyone on high alert, and try to notify Wu Xian to come back immediately!】
Chu Xuan also sent his will to the crowd through telepathy, while at the same time, he took out a black pistol with a peculiar shape from his spatial bag and pointed it towards the position of Van Helsing and Dracula, as if both were within his attack range.
Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled, only Zhan Lan seemed to have read some part of Chu Xuan's thoughts and her expression changed abruptly. She immediately used telekinetic powers to pull everyone away to a safe distance.
So, there were only Van Helsing, who had taken on the form of a wolfman, still biting the neck of Dracula. It wasn't until half an hour later that he let go of his teeth and retreated cautiously a few steps.
"Eh eh……Haha……Haha hahahahaha————! ! ! "
As in a movie plot, after being bitten by the wolfman Van Helsing, Dracula's wound failed to heal on its own and continuously spat out black blood.
Then, he gradually dissolved like he had been hit by invisible force, leaving only a black pus.
However, compared to the movie, Dracula's reaction was very strange. Facing death, he did not feel any pain or despair, but seemed to be very happy. He laughed aloud until his vocal cords melted away.
Such an eerie action aroused the caution of everyone present, including Van Helsing.
Particularly the members of the Zhongzhou team, who had yet to receive a prompt indicating the completion of the main mission, were already half dead with worry.
Half of the worry was due to their assumption that the bloodline source was still Dracula. The lack of a prompt from the Main God meant that the other party, Dracula, had not yet died.
Although there is a bit of regret, given Dracula's displayed strength, he does not pose too great a threat to the Zhongzhou team. Even if the strongest combatant, Wu Xian, is tied up, there is still a high probability that they can complete the main mission.
However, if Dracula has truly died, the problem will become troublesome.
This means that "the source of the bloodline" is someone else, and it is highly likely that this person will be much stronger than Dracula.
If that were the case, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty and uncertainty of the main mission. After all, no one knows what kind of dangers and enemies they might encounter later.
Thinking like this, Van Helsing, who had taken on the form of a wolfman, suddenly froze in place and let out a painful howl. A large amount of black mist sprayed out from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and fur.
Finally, after a terrible shriek, these black mist seemed to break free from its prison and soar up into the sky, transforming into a dark, raw nebula that slowly wriggled.
At the same time, Van Helsing, unknown to anyone, had somehow returned to his human form, his entire body covered only by a torn pair of pants that barely served as a means of modesty. He then collapsed helplessly to the ground, gasping heavily.
A moment later, he struggled to raise his head towards the nebula, and countless fragments of memories flashed through his mind in an instant.
"Indeed, it's so strange."
Muttering to himself, Van Helsing's eyes, which had always carried a sense of melancholy and confusion, gradually cleared up as if he had understood everything.
Yes, Van Helsing has regained his memories. Just like Dracula's address to him, his original name is Gabriel.
Full name - Gabriel Belmont.
He was once the strongest warrior trained by the church, belonging to the predecessor of the Holy Knight Order, under the banner of the Luminous Brotherhood.
And just like now, Gabriel was a worldwide hunter of dark creatures and heretics during that time, making significant contributions to the development of the church, and could be considered a distinguished figure.
Originally, such a diligent and powerful double flower red stick, should have been valued by the high-level members of the church, and his future prospects were unlimited.
But later, because of something that happened, it completely altered Gabriel's life.
It was said that a senior member of the Luminous Brotherhood, named "Pan," had accidentally obtained a fragment of a magic mirror that could peek into the future destiny.
One day, after several researches by the elders of the Brotherhood, they finally saw a terrifying prophecy in this fragment -
They saw a future for Gabriel filled with terrifying darkness and emptiness, posing a great threat to the existence of the church.
Since they knew that this was a risk that could not be controlled, the elders naturally had murderous intentions. However, because Gabriel was too powerful, the Brotherhood did not want to cause great losses to themselves, so they decided to use a knife to kill someone else.
In the name of God, they dispatched Gabriel to hunt down the three legendary Shadow Kings. They were planning to wait until both sides were heavily injured and then reap the benefits, eliminating Gabriel and the Shadow Kings together.
However, no one knew that those three so-called Shadow Kings were actually the three founders of the Brotherhood. After ascending to heaven, they left behind their dark sides in the mortal world. They were respectively the Wolf King Koner, the Vampire Queen Camilla, and the Death King Zobek.
Moreover, the three Shadow Kings and the three founders of the Brotherhood who ascended to heaven were one in two, connected by life and death. If one side died, the other could not survive either.
Most importantly, the three founders had once sealed a demon named "the Forgotten One" during the ancient period. If they all died, it would mean that the seal was broken, and the world would welcome an endless darkness and destruction.
Unfortunately, this secret was unknown to both the church and Gabriel. In this confusion, they killed the three Shadow Kings and thus released the seal.
Thus, the church failed to kill Gabriel and instead released the apocalyptic demon themselves, which led to war in the mortal world and pushed the church into dire straits.
In the end, it was still Gabriel, who had become disheartened by the death of his wife, taking advantage of the help of Vampire Princess Laura and transformed into a vampire to enter the dimensional space. He killed and absorbed the power of "the Forgotten One."
At this point, the mortal world was restored to peace, but Gabriel had become one of the most powerful dark creatures in history and the king of vampires - Dracula!
That's right, Gabriel is the true Dracula. The prophecy of the broken mirror fragment was therefore fulfilled.
As for why he later lost his memory, became Van Helsing, and who the Dracula we saw earlier is……All of this can be traced back to four hundred and fifty years ago.
Back then, Gabriel, or rather Dracula, had already become the most powerful dark creature in the world, surpassing all demons.
At least in the human world, no one and no demon would be his opponent. Even if the king of hell, Satan, came, he would only be flattened by him.
No doubt, the church could not tolerate such a threat to itself, especially since Dracula had the church's secrets and scandals. It was only natural that they would want to eliminate him.
However, Dracula was too powerful for the church to be a match for. The church's attempts to organize an army had been repeatedly shattered and suffered heavy losses, nearly bringing them to their knees.
And at this moment, Dracula himself began to experience problems.

In this story, I'm not going to follow the game's plot and have Dracula's son, Alucard, beheaded. Let's just say he was never born or unable to be resurrected.
After all, Van Helsing is a mended monster world. Let's just consider it a parallel universe.
