Fires ignited on the top floor of the giant villa standing in the night, and little sparks floated into the night sky in the evening wind.
Salomon stood in the garden paved with flagstones, looking up at the burning manor. Behind him were black bushes with twisted and grotesque branches. Even the flames could not illuminate the deepest darkness.
The negative energy that maintains the activities of Barnabas and Victoria has already begun to erode the land in the manor. It is precisely for this reason that the temperature of Colin Manor is slightly lower than other places.
Living people staying here will be slowly eroded by negative energy and become old and sickly. Although Willy was already an alcoholic, the low temperature made him drink even more.
Salomon saw the drunken Willie open the door and run out of the hall in panic. The old servant called the police after discovering the fire in the manor, and Salomon clearly heard his conversation with the fire brigade.
But he did not come out of the shadows to stop this behavior. Instead, he stood in the shadows where no one could find him and continued to stare at the top of the manor, waiting for the vampire to appear.
But such a movement could not be hidden from many people. Even though Colin Manor was surrounded by private lands, the rapidly spreading flames and the fire that dyed the sky red attracted the attention of many people in the town.
Salomon didn't wait long when he saw a car rushing into the garden. The living members of the Collins family jumped out of the car anxiously before the car stopped.
When they saw the old servant Willy, they quickly grabbed him and wanted to ask him about the situation.
In fact, when Victoria, who was walking and chatting with them, suddenly turned into a bat and flew towards the manor, Elizabeth felt something was wrong. She felt that what she was most worried about had happened.
The most decisive woman in the Corinthian family immediately asked Caroline to drive back to Corinth Manor, but before they could pass through the gate, they saw the light of fire rising into the sky.
Drunk old Willy couldn't say much at all. No matter how much Caroline patted him on the head and how Elizabeth asked, Willy only said that he heard a few noises when he was dizzy and didn't wait for him to check. Thick smoke filled the corridor, and when he ran out of the manor to check, he discovered that there was a fire.
"It's the wizard!" Caroline said angrily, a low purring sound coming from her throat, and she sniffed, trying to smell something.
Elizabeth's face was so cold that her emotions were hard to see, but her waist was straight, as if the shrewd and capable head of the Corinthian family thirty-one years ago had returned.
Back then, after Angelique came to the door, Elizabeth had imagined whether the Collins family would encounter such a situation one day, so she made the best preparations she could.
Elizabeth handed a key to David, who was standing aside, and said, "Kid, follow Willy and go to the weapons warehouse to get some guns."
"But that thing is useless against wizards." Thick hair slowly grew on Caroline's face, and her toned legs became stronger and the joints deformed like the hind legs of a canine creature. Her height also increased. Much higher than before.
At the same time, her upper and lower jaw bones gradually elongated, her teeth became sharper, her originally beautiful nose bulged and became ugly, and her voice became deep and hoarse, with a threatening growl as she spoke.
But the living people of the Corinthian family were not surprised by this change in Caroline, but were accustomed to it. Caroline was a werewolf - Angelique Bouchard continued her hatred of Barnabas to Corinth The family not only wanted to embarrass the Corinthian family in business, but also wanted to pollute the Corinthian family's bloodline, so Angelique ordered a werewolf to bite Caroline when she was a child.
This secret was not revealed until thirty-one years ago, during the battle between Angelique and Barnabas at Colin Manor.
"The wizard must still be inside." Caroline said, "Now, let us go in and kill him!"
"Wait until David brings the gun." Elizabeth did not rush into the villa to attack the wizard who might still be there. She said, "With the gun, at least we can help.
I believe Barnabas and Victoria, they are not that easy to deal with. At least we need to let the wizard know that the Corinthians are not easy to mess with. "
A swarm of bats smashed the glass window on the top floor of the manor, and the broken glass fell to the stone floor. Elizabeth and Caroline raised their heads.
They saw the bats hovering near the burning roof for a while, then swooped into a dark corner of the garden.
"He's there!" Caroline shouted and rushed in that direction.
At this time, David and Willy also happened to come back. Elizabeth took the shotgun from David's hand and skillfully inserted the bullet into it. This is an old gun, the Winchester M1917 Trench Gun, but being old does not mean it is not useful. This gun was not discontinued until 1945. It was supplied to the military until now and is still used in SWAT. After Elizabeth loaded the shotgun, she helped David load the bullets in his M1911 pistol.
"You have to learn to fight." Elizabeth said to David while loading bullets. "I am old, and you are the only normal person left in the Collins family. Caroline is a werewolf, which is why she has never married. .
The family still needs you to continue. Be brave, David. No matter whether we can survive today or not, you have to fight. Remember, David, remember, family is the real wealth. "
Salomon reached out and clenched his fist, using the Ring of Raggador to block the swarm of bats coming towards him. His arm felt the impact like a wave of waves.
He calmly stretched out his fingers, and the ghostly sharp blade passed around him, cutting several bats into two pieces. But this didn't stop the other bats. When those bats swooped down from the night sky again, he opened his palms again, and deafening thunder suddenly sounded, even Elizabeth and David, who were thirty meters away, heard it.
The lightning that appeared out of thin air around him hit every bat, and fell from the sky with the smell of burnt fur and squeaking screams.
Immediately afterwards, Caroline stepped on the stone slab and rushed over. Salomon blocked the werewolf's sharp claws with a shield, then stepped forward and punched, hitting the werewolf hard in the abdomen, knocking the whimpering werewolf back into the garden.
In the next moment, the shield in front of him suddenly exploded with countless sparks, and a large number of small steel balls with unparalleled kinetic energy hit the Ring of Raggador, knocking Salomon over on the grass.
Before he could hide behind the shield again, there was another gunshot, and a few scattered small steel balls passed through Salomon's calf.
The severe pain instantly blinded Salomon's brain, and he could no longer maintain the spell in his hand. The ring of Raggador flashed for a few times and then went out. He felt that his legs were extremely heavy, as if they were being burned by fire, and blood was constantly gushing out from between the damaged flesh.
But that was nothing compared to the pain he felt when he put the ring on.
Salomon took a deep breath and forcibly stabilized his emotions. He turned over, with countless grass clippings all over his body, and reluctantly climbed up from the grass wet with blood. White light glowed in his hand, and he pressed it quietly on his calf. (Contract Warlock: Lord of the Celestial Realm, one ring, heals injuries)
Elizabeth held up the shotgun, pulled the bolt, strode over, and pointed the gun at Salomon, who was kneeling on the grass.
Victoria appeared behind Elizabeth with a group of bats. She looked at Salomon bitterly and said, "You are dead, no one can save you!"
