Chapter 657: The Battle with “Vivian”

Hao Ren did not react immediately when something went wrong with the magical book. That was until he felt the chill air with the smell of blood coming from the book. He was horrified and quickly threw it away. “What the hell is this?”

When the book hit the ground, it opened, facing the moonlight. The illustration of the “Summoning of the Blood King” was almost completely covered in red. The red was moving like a surging blood as if the book was bleeding and the blood covered the pages. It was absolutely terrifying.

At the same time, the summoning circle suddenly changed. The patterns Lily draw just now, began to distort and change the shape, quickly correcting itself into the complete form as if it had come to life, and the ritual items ignited themselves without fire, turning into a pale flame floating in the air. Lily immediately jumped and yelled, “Oops, shoes! My shoes!”

“Are you still thinking about this at such a critical moment?!” Hao Ren immediately jumped out of the summoning circle when he heard Lily yelling, and slapped her on the back of the head and said, “Something’s wrong!”

The Nangong family reacted immediately as it happened. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi immediately took out the crossbow and silver dagger, making them look like ace hunters regardless of their combat power. Meanwhile, Nangong Wuyue and Ayesha had already twisted together and hidden at the corner. Now that Hao Ren knew from whom Wuyue inherited the cowardice.

Suddenly, the summoning circle was changing rapidly. The moment they realized what was happening, blood mist was already permeated from the pages, twisting and growing larger and larger in the air. It looked like an evil spirit sealed in the book was struggling to free itself, and it also looked like the strange wicked book was spouting a lot of blood.

Y’zaks saw it and stretched out his hand into the summoning circle without hesitation. As he was ready to ruin the strange book, a shrill sound was coming from the blood mist—the summoning ritual seemed to have been completed.

Y’zaks immediately stepped back and protected his daughter while observing the changes of the blood mist attentively.

The blood mist was pumping like the heartbeat, and the next second it suddenly shrank into a figure. At this moment, Hao Ren already took out his silver lance, ready to strike the blood mist with plasma flames. However, when they saw the figure in the blood mist clearly, they all stunned.

It was… Vivian!

The ‘Vivian’ appeared in the blood mist was wearing a long black dress, looking like an aristocrat who was ready to attend the banquet. She was standing in the air with her eyes closed tightly, and her long blood red hair was dancing in the air without wind.

“What are you doing, battie?” Lily was holding her Frostfire Claws, fully alert. However, she got angry at once when she saw that the figure in the blood mist was actually Vivian and scolded, “just pulling you out of the house, do you have to act so odd to scare…”

Before the husky finished her word, the red-haired Vivian already opened her eyes slightly. The pair of eyes glowing with dim light stopped on Lily for a little while, looking a little impatience. Hao Ren suddenly felt the danger at that very instant and hurriedly pushed Lily aside. “Be careful!”

A dark red light appeared out of nowhere in the spot where Lily just stood. After a flash of red light, the plants on that spot had withered, and the hard rocks instantly turned into ashes.

“OMG!!” The hair on Lily’s tail all stood straight up at once.

“This is not Vivian!” The data terminal suddenly came out of Hao Ren’s pocket and said, “Be careful! Avoid anything coming from her!”

And now, ‘Vivian’ seemed to have been awakened from the chaotic state. She tilted her head stiffly, finally opened her eyes, and a strange voice coming from her throat. She looked down at the people outside the summoning circle and said several syllables in a hoarse voice. Hao Ren focused on it and could barely understand what she was saying. She said, “Come back…”

And as she said it, the earth was suddenly shrouded in red lights coming from the moon!

Where the red light shone, the trees withered, the stones turned into ashes, and even smoke was coming from Y’zaks’s skin. Hao Ren raised his lance, ready to fight, but suddenly he saw lights coming from the residential area, so he quickly shouted, “Lead her to the moors!”

Hao Ren then rushed to the red-haired Vivian in the air without hesitation, trying to stab her with the plasma lance in his hand. However, the attack did not work: She seemed to have expected the attack from the start and dodged it in the air like she was weightless. The lance just left a scar on her arm, and just tilted her head like nothing happened, and pointed to Hao Ren and said, “Come back …”

Hao Ren did not expect the attack to cause any harm to her. He just wanted to draw her attention. After confirming that the hatred had shifted to him, he turned to the depths of the wilderness, running and shouting at the data terminal, “We need to get a good place to fight! I’m worried that here isn’t enough for her!”

A red light was split from the moonlight, shining on Hao Ren’s shield. He immediately felt the weight, aware that there was a lot of incomprehensible power in this attack, and that a simple shield could only counteract some of the power. But there was no time to analyze too much. He could only keep running forward!

At this moment, the red-haired Vivian looked at the scar on her arm. A strange hissing sound was coming from her throat and then she immediately chased after Hao Ren.

“Landlord finally got her attention,” said Lily.

Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi took out a few spell cards and threw them away in all directions. These spell cards were burnt in the air without fire and quickly formed a nearly transparent wall. The invisible force pervaded and interfered with the sensing capability of the ordinary people’s of this area. The residents who turned on the lights in the distance soon calmed down. And after this, Nangong Sanba, Nangong Wudi and the rest of them immediately chased after the red-haired Vivian.

This bizarre team was running to the depths of the wilderness. The devil, who looked exactly the same as Vivian but was manic and weird, kept attacking all living things in her sight, leaving a lot of withered plants and ashes of rocks along the way. Hao Ren was carrying the shield and attracting the devil, and at the same time, secretly startled and thought: The devil’s power seemed similar to Vivian, but was more dangerous.

Her power seemed to be able to transform objects directly into decay and dead!

After confirming that he was far from the residential area, Hao Ren stopped, looked at the dark horizon in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. He then raised his lance and turned toward the red-haired Vivian. At the same time, other people had also arrived. Needless to say, they had already besieged ‘Vivian’. All kinds of attacks were throwing at the ‘Vivian’ under siege.

The Demonic Flare, silver crossbow, exorcism cards, the Plasma Flare, as well as the fierce Frostfire Blades. There were no flaws in the attack and the red-haired Vivian looked like there was no way of escape. However, the moment the attack fell on her, something unexpected happened:

The evil spirit suddenly turned into a red light, blended into the moonlight, and then disappeared into thin air.

Lily stopped suddenly, holding her Frostfire Claws, looking around and asked, “Did she run away?”

“Not so easy…” Hao Ren said and frowned. Suddenly, he noticed the moonlight was reddening, and the reddish moonlight was shining on everyone. He then noticed that his skin was turning death-like gray. “Moonlight! Beware of the moonlight!”
