Chapter 1212: Chapter 544: The Time of Prophecy Eruption
[...A series of eerie scenes caused utter chaos in the exhibition hall, with screams and cries echoing intermittently. Amid the dust and disarray, the crowd frantically surged towards the exits on all sides of the hall, desperately trying to escape the venue. Some were injured in the pushing and shoving, while a few unfortunate souls became the objects of trampling, left forever in the exhibition hall...]
[...As the crowd gradually dispersed, the few remaining figures in the hall became increasingly conspicuous...]
[...Aside from a very few tourists who were too frightened to move, there were still two to three hundred people who, despite the chaotic scene and intermittent screams, remained motionless in their seats...]
[These people, seemingly in unison, scanned the others in the hall, but most of their attention was still focused on the Stone Coffin on the display...]
When the tide receded, it was clear who had been swimming naked. Nearly all of those who remained were Vampires in disguise.
"There are actually two to three hundred people..." Mu You was slightly surprised at the number.
It should be noted that these were mostly high-level Vampires of the fifth generation or below. After having already fought fiercely the previous night, it was surprising that so many were left...
It seemed that it was not just the Regent King and the Reformers who had come today; other clans, as well as those solitary high-level Vampires, had also gathered.
This exhibition had attracted almost all the elite Vampires of the entire city.
Mu You could guess that the others were Vampires, and they all knew each other’s identities too.
At that moment, everyone stared at each other warily, not daring to make a move for the coffin yet due to how suspiciously a third-generation Vampire had died earlier.
The sound that had come from the coffin had likely been heard by all the Vampires present, suggesting that there might be something alive inside, powerful enough to kill a third-generation Vampire effortlessly.
Among the Blood Clan present, few believed themselves stronger than the Vampire who had just perished, so nobody dared to act rashly without understanding the situation first.
As the crowd completely dispersed, everyone remained vigilant of each other, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
After about half a minute of this tense calm, finally, someone unable to bear the pressure made the first move.
A Vampire in the front row, perhaps betting on being the closest and possessing the "Godspeed" Blood Rhythm, decided to seize the coffin and run. He burst forward with a speed like an afterimage and rushed onto the podium.
However, his movement triggered a chain reaction.
In the three-level spectator stands, about a dozen figures simultaneously activated "Godspeed" and charged towards the stage to attack him.
The first mover, though not weak as a fourth-generation Vampire, was inevitably overwhelmed by the attacks of more than a dozen adversaries.
Almost instantly, he was struck by numerous assaults from behind and fell a few meters in front of the Stone Coffin, his eyes wide open in death.
Those who had rushed onto the podium didn’t stop there; immediately after slaughtering him, they scrambled towards the coffin from all sides.
Unfortunately, the remaining Vampires were no idle spectators. Although they were a step slower and couldn’t approach the podium, they could still prevent others from getting close to the coffin.
The Blood Clan possessed many Blood Rhythms capable of inflicting long-range damage.
Mu You saw a flood of messages suddenly pop up in the game, "All using some Blood Rhythm."
In an instant, hundreds of Vampires on the podium unleashed firepower that was several times more horrifying than the initial decimation.
Mind Piercing, Bat Swarm, Blood Curtain, Torrent, Screech... various harmful Blood Rhythms transformed the podium area into a death zone.
While some tried to use defensive Blood Rhythms to dodge the attacks, the onslaught was too dense—they could dodge once but not the next.
Eventually, several people fell in succession, except for one, who appeared to belong to the Deformed Clan. Fortuitously possessing the special Blood Rhythm "Immortal" and mastering several defensive Blood Rhythms like Mistify, Deflection, and Iron Block, he miraculously survived this intense onslaught, dashed out of the attack zone, and reached the Stone Coffin first.
Staring at the Stone Coffin so close by, he hesitated for a moment, then burst into elation, and with a wide-open mouth, activated "Glutton" and swallowed the coffin, then turned to flee.
Making use of shadows and cover, by the time the crowd realized the coffin was gone, he had already distanced himself beyond the reach of most Blood Rhythms.
Among the stands, many masterful observers who had been watching intently now could no longer hold back and prepared to act, bursting towards the podium in a flurry of motion.
However, before the masters could catch up, the Deformed one had just run a few steps when he suddenly staggered, shrieking on the spot.
[A muffled voice could faintly be heard from within the Deformed’s belly: "The creatures of the City of Enoch must die!"]
[Accompanied by this murmur, you could see streams of black smoke emerging from the Deformed’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, enveloping him as if alive.]
[...Soon, amid the harrowing screams of the Deformed, like the victims before, his life force was sucked away by the black smoke, turning him into a mummified corpse on the ground...]
