The bottle was crushed in Dracula’s mouth, and the liquid flowing out instantly caused Dracula’s mouth to smoke. This was real holy water that even a true demon like Roy could not endure, let alone Dracula. In an instant, half of Dracula’s chin dissolved!
Dracula could not even scream as some of the holy water trickled into his throat.
Van Helsing escaped from Dracula’s control, but he had used up almost most of his weapons and could only wait and see the effect of the holy water.
This bottle of holy water left Dracula heavily injured, but just one bottle was slightly too little. After Dracula ripped off the dissolved parts, his wounds began to heal slowly.
Van Helsing could only smile bitterly at this scene. He had already reached a dead end.
This was the reason that Roy had killed Viken and Anna. He wanted to see what other means Van Helsing had without being bitten by Viken and having the ability to turn into a werewolf.
If there truly existed a main theme, the so-called main character halo, then Van Helsing should, at the last moment, use some method to get rid of Dracula.
If such a scenario occurred, then Roy would have to be extremely cautious and avoid provoking these main characters when he entered other worlds...
Now that Van Helsing had run out of means, Roy was even more focused, wanting to see what would happen at the last moment.
However, what Roy had not thought of was the recovered Dracula pouncing in rage, hugging Van Helsing, exposing his fangs, and biting him on the neck!
Van Helsing could not avoid it as Dracula bit him and began sucking his blood. Van Helsing’s entire body began to soften.
Roy could not believe his eyes. Th-this is the end?!
Why is there no punch to the ending?
Throwing Van Helsing aside, Dracula spread his wings and burst into wild laughter on the spot, seeming to announce his victory.
Roy waited for a while and did not see Van Helsing standing up again. He was stupefied.
However, the unexpected happened in the next moment!
Outside the castle, under the dark sky raining heavily, a vortex suddenly appeared, driving away the dark clouds and finally revealing a circular hole. A golden ray of light shone straight down from the hole, through the roof of the castle, straight at Van Helsing’s body.
With his body shrouded in this ray of light, the illusion of a six-winged angel appeared on Van Helsing’s head!
This scene left Roy flabbergasted, thinking that it was the appearance of some guardian angel for a big move such as reincarnation!
Dracula was terrified. He was the closest to him, and that golden ray of light left him feeling an immense threat to his life and wanting to fly away immediately.
But Van Helsing’s resurrection as they both imagined did not happen!
On Van Helsing’s body, a golden light spot the size of a firefly appeared, almost unclear. After the golden spot appeared, it began to rise slowly along the golden ray of light and gradually became faster.
Something suddenly struck Roy when he saw this!
Soul! That golden light spot is a soul! Van Helsing is really dead!
Golden? This... is the soul of an angel?!
He was not alone. Dracula was also thinking the same. The appearance of this golden soul meant he had really killed Van Helsing. But the angel’s soul hidden in Van Helsing’s body was now being taken back by Heaven!
At this moment, Dracula’s greed got to his head, and instead of retreating, he reached out and attempted to catch the golden soul!
The instant his hand touched the golden soul, his entire arm turned into ashes. The golden light then went along his arm and spread across his entire body so fast that Dracula had no time to react. He screamed in agony before disintegrating!
If Heaven wanted to recover the angel’s soul, then how could Dracula lay his hands on it?
Seeing Dracula turn into ashes, Roy should not dare to place any hopes on this soul. But who knew why, Roy felt an intense instinctive impulse coming from his demon body, resounding in his mind, telling him to get it! To get that soul!
His body’s instincts and his reason were constantly in conflict, leaving Roy in a dilemma, hesitating. The golden soul rose faster and faster in the ray of light. It had already moved through the roof of the castle and was flying toward the outside!
Seeing this, Roy hesitated no longer. He flapped his wings, flew out of the darkness, burst through the roof, and rushed toward the golden soul.
At this moment, all the people in Transylvania were attracted by the golden ray of light in the sky. People came out of their houses into the pouring rain and looked at the ray of light. Some people held crosses to their chests, while others knelt on the ground and started to pray.
However, they then saw a huge demon appearing in midair. They could see Roy clearly under the pillar of light.
“Demon! It’s a demon!”
“Wh-what does it want to do?!”
People watched dumbstruck as Roy flew toward that pillar of light and grabbed something in midair.
After laying his hands on the golden soul, Roy shouted in pain. The holy power residing in the pillar of light was acting on Roy’s body, and the soul was burning hot in his hand. But oddly, Roy did not burn into ashes like Dracula had. He clenched his hands and actually pulled the soul out of the pillar of light!
The moment he pulled out the soul, the pillar of light in the sky instantly disappeared, and the sky returned to a sea of darkness once more.
Although Roy’s hands were emitting green smoke, the golden soul lay intact in his palm. Even Roy was left astounded. What exactly is going on? Why was I able to get this soul?
Roy was unaware that the instinctive impulse from his body to get it was not without reason!
Why were there legends of angels and demons being true sworn enemies?
This was because only angels were truly capable of destroying demons! And similarly, only demons were able to snatch away the souls of angels!
When Roy, a true demon, snatched the angel’s soul, the moment he grabbed it was equivalent to blocking the connection between the angel’s soul and Heaven. The holy power residing in the beam of light lasted for a moment before disappearing, so he did get burnt into nothingness like Dracula.
This was a hidden talent that the demons had, so it was not strange for Roy to have that kind of instinctive impulse. Every demon that laid eyes on an angel’s soul would have this kind of impulse.
Of course, there was another reason why Roy was able to snatch this soul from the beam of light—this soul was not sufficiently strong.
Roy was not stupid, so he quickly put this golden light spot in the system.
The system interface displayed this soul as a ‘holy soul fragment’!
Yes, the souls of angels were displayed with a holy prefix. This soul was not a complete soul but a soul fragment. It was split from Archangel Gabriel’s soul and was one of thousands of fragments.
The ability to split souls to form fragments was not unique to demons. Angels had it as well! Similar to demons chasing souls in countless worlds through the Gates of the Abyss, angels from Heaven also had their traces in countless worlds. What differed was that there were many times more demons than angels, so angels frequently used the soul splitting method to make incarnations to fight against demons.
Where demons existed, so too did angels. The countless worlds were nothing but battlefields for angels and demons...
At this moment, Roy did not know what benefits he had obtained. Regardless of the size of this soul fragment, it was a fragment of Archangel Gabriel after all. If he brought it back to the Abyss and those demon kings became aware of it, they would probably pay a huge price in exchange for this soul fragment.
Of course, it might also bring Roy unending trouble...
Speaking of which, the first trouble was already approaching!
How could Archangel Gabriel not know that he had lost connection with a fragment of his soul?
Therefore, under the astonished gazes of the people of Transylvania, the heavy rain in the sky suddenly stopped. From high in the night sky appeared a golden magic formation that was slowly rotating. Thereupon, a wisp of a holy and majestic aura slowly revealed itself...
