Originally, when Dracula killed and absorbed the power of "the Forgotten", this ancient demon did not truly die, but his will always remained, only sealed within himself by Dracula and unable to escape.
However, with the passage of time and the continuous increase of negative energy in this world, "the Forgotten" began to persistently attack the seal and attempt to consume and assimilate Dracula's soul.
As a demon from ancient times, the soul of "the Forgotten" is naturally powerful. Dracula, however, is still too young and has become despondent due to successive setbacks, so he naturally cannot be a match for "the Forgotten." He quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
At this time, another army came to conquer Dracula, led by the knight order of the Wiherly family, and their leader was the eldest son of the current family.
No surprise, this army was defeated and almost completely annihilated. Numerous powerful knights were drained of their blood by the enraged Dracula and only the heir of the Wiherly family remained.
Perhaps due to being well-fed, Dracula briefly regained clarity at that time. However, he also knew that he couldn't resist "the Forgotten" for much longer, so he made a deal with the heir of the Wiherly family.
He will transfer most of his power and part of his soul to the other party, making them the new Dracula. He will then leave with the seal, as long as the entity "Dracula" does not die, the seal will remain unopened.
In this world, the only thing that can kill "Dracula" is Dracula himself, but without his power, he cannot do this. It is a perfect cycle, thus it would be possible to forever seal "the Forgotten," eliminating the possibility of its destruction of the world.
The heir agreed, becoming the new Dracula and hiding within the Castle of Blood. The Dracula who had lost his power and memory, guided by instinct, returned to the Vatican, was saved by the churchmen, and from then on continued to serve the church under the identity of Van Helsing.
...
The memory ends, and the camera returns to the present.
Not to mention Van Helsing's profound enlightenment over there, Janlan has already read all his memories through telepathic abilities and synchronized them with all the members of the Middle-earth team, instantly causing a stir in the psychic network.
It's not surprising that they were so surprised. After all, "Demon Castle: Shadows of the King 2" was released in 2014, and these people who live in 2007 naturally cannot know that and would not have nothing to do to search for fun at the divine realm.
Even Wu Xian hasn't played this game, so he hasn't linked it to the movie "Van Helsing" at all. Otherwise, he would have devised a more detailed plan with Chu Xuan and wouldn't have ended up in the current situation.
It can only be said that everything is the fault of the Celestial Sovereign.
Knowing that "Van Helsing" is a mishmash world, but you also can't sew everything into it just to increase the difficulty!
[So, what is the true source of the bloodline, Van Helsing or "the Forgotten"?]
Zheng Zha asked doubtfully, after watching Van Helsing's memories, he was a bit confused and hoped that there would be an intelligent person to explain it to him.
[Most likely it is "the Forgotten"].
Chu Xuan replied.
[In terms of the main quest, there is another requirement to prevent the arrival of dark power in the world, which is more in line with the description of "the Forgotten". And if I haven't guessed wrong, Dracula's life should be bound to "the Forgotten", and either one of them cannot survive if the other dies.]
[What are we waiting for? Attack that black cloud immediately!]
Zheng Zha's eyes lit up, and without waiting for the others to react, a blaze of glassy red lotus inferno enveloped him. He transformed into the shape of an axe in mid-air and directly chopped at the mass of dark star clouds.
With a loud bang, the dark star cloud and the giant axe created by Zheng Zha were split in half. Then, in the next second, they reunited and slowly distorted, eventually forming an indescribable blob of flesh.
The darkness was mixed with red lines, twisting and writhing, with only a few black tendrils extending towards the periphery. Dimly, one could see a pair of crimson eyes scanning the surroundings, finally settling on Van Helsing kneeling on the ground. It let out a "cackle cackle cackle" laugh typical of an antagonist, chilling those who heard it.
"Old friend, it seems you've regained your memories. How does it feel? Are you pleased?"
An otherworldly and sinister voice emerged from the darkness, neither male nor female, laden with a unique falsetto effect, seemingly omnipresent.
"It was you who fought with us earlier, wasn't Gerald infected by you?"
Fan Helsing looked serious, staring at the pair of dark red eyes in the darkness and asked in a low voice.
Hmm, Gerald is Dracula, which is also the name he took when he was a human.
"Hah! Do you think he turned into that because he was infected by me?"
A derisive laugh echoed from the darkness.
"It's not like all of them, that guy couldn't resist the temptation of power, sold his soul to me a long time ago. But he hid his own little schemes, thinking he could become the king of this world by relying on the seal."
"That's laughable. He doesn't realize that from the moment he sold his soul to me, his life no longer belonged to him."
"Of course, I still want to thank you, these foreign people, especially the strongest one. If it weren't for his strength giving too much pressure to that fool, I wouldn't be able to easily control the little bats he had hidden and form a new body for you to kill..."
Indeed, as Chu Xuan had guessed, the previous Dracula had hidden his true essence as before.
Although by design he could only be killed by the true Dracula, just in case, he had left a fallback, hoping for a rebirth.
However, Dracula did not expect that a part of his soul that contained the will of "the Forgotten" had been hidden by him when he divided it. Over the years, these forces had been secretly lurking and have gradually regained some of their power.
As Van Helsing, the former "Dracula," appeared, he immediately could not tolerate it. Seizing the opportunity when Dracula was beaten by Wu Xian, he controlled those bats and sent them to face Van Helsing.
The plan went smoothly. With Dracula now dead, he had finally broken the seal and gained his freedom.
Just...
"Get out of here quickly!!!"
Suddenly, it seemed as if Van Helsing remembered something and shouted towards the Middle-earth team behind him:
"His physical body has been destroyed by me long ago. Now, he only has the remaining soul and will, which needs a powerful host to recover his strength. He cannot succeed!"
Hearing this, the members of the Middle-earth team exchanged a quick look in their psychic network, and everyone made up their mind.
One word — retreat!
There's no way around it; the ancient demon's setup sounds very powerful. Now, possessing others with this creepy ability, it's clear that now is not the time for a head-on collision. Self-preservation should be our top priority.
"Hahahaha... Not bad, old friend. You really understand me, but do you think a warning will let them escape?"
The dark star cloud laughed aloud, and the dark star cloud suddenly exploded. The countless black tendrils grew wildly, spreading over the Middle-earth team that had already distanced themselves.
As for Van Helsing?
Hahaha, people should not fall into the same pit twice. At least, they shouldn't. Knowing that this guy has a seal effect, they still need to get involved, isn't that just being an idiot?
Hehe! Let me see which one to choose first.
Is it the vampire with the strange flame, or the half-human, half-demon hybrid, or that Eastern wizard with an aura of evil...
"Hey!!"
It seemed that he had discovered something, the dark cloud slightly trembled, and then let out an excited laugh, charging towards the Middle-earth team's location with full force. And his target was...
Zhao Yingkong!
