Chapter 230 - 228 My Lord, Times Have Changed.
Sharp bat wings, like limbs, extended from Marcus's back.
The hard bones quickly elongated and abruptly pierced through Lucian's shoulder, instantly splashing blood. ??
Thud!
The bat wings lashed like a whip, throwing Lucian, who had transformed into a werewolf and had increased his strength to one side and slamming him hard on the soft carpet.
The entire hotel suite shook as if something heavy had fallen, making a startling commotion.
The Lycan Leader was able to hit Viktor at least a few times, but when faced with Marcus, who had become a hybrid, he was unable to fight back.
'The power of the hybrid species can barely be perceived. '
Luke, leaning on the sofa and keeping calm, thought so.
'That's almost equivalent to half of Captain America. '
He used Rogers, who was famous for his combat power, as the unit of measurement.
"What a loyal dog!"
Getting rid of the Lycan Leader in the way, Marcus sneered and pulled back the elongated bat wings behind him.
He licked the blood dripping on it. There was a trace of satisfaction on his ugly face.
"That's enough, Marcus! Don't go on with your nonsense and cause more trouble than you can handle …"
Corvinus, trying to pose as a strict father, shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, with a rebellious son, this attitude would only achieve the opposite effect.
"Father, you have known about the hybrid race for a long time, but you never told us about it."
With an apparent disgust in his eyes, Marcus looked at Corvinus, who kept his human form.
"William is a damn werewolf because of your bloodline! You could have made him better, but you didn't do anything!"
"The fear of daylight is like a curse that has been seared into a vampire's body and can never be erased! The thirst for flesh haunts werewolves, making it impossible for them to think rationally!"
"You could have … solved all these problems."
"William and I were supposed to be perfect creatures, ruling Europe together and becoming great monarchs like Charlemagne."
"If we could have an army of hybrids, we could be invincible in the human world!"
"…"
Luke, who leaned against the sofa, scratched his ears and looked at Corvinus, who looked embarrassed.
It was very difficult for the old father to have a stupid and rebellious son.
As a Hungarian warlord, how could Corvinus not have a burning ambition?
He also considered dominating Europe, ruling the world, and creating a glorious dark dynasty.
However, Corvinus recognized the reality in time.
After seeing Temple of the Three and the powerful capabilities of the Sorcerer Supreme, he decided to give up on that thought.
How could vampires and werewolves be more terrifying than the dimensional demons?
Want to take over the earth and rule mankind?
At the entry level, there was already the alien overlord, the Allfather.
Anything below this level should just go to sleep early, like good little kids.
Therefore, Corvinus thought about it seriously, decided to follow his inner will, and chose to be an unknown moderate.
Sometimes, the key to living a long life wasn't strength but vision.
The easily proud and arrogant guys were usually killed as soon as they left the novice village.
"Selene shut him up."
Luke looked at the female vampire warrior who had entered the transformation stage and gently said, "If we go on, I'm afraid we'll have to force Mr. Corvinus to take action himself and kill his own son."
"Hmm."
Selene, who quickly injected the Corvinus blood sample, struggled to nod.
She was experiencing great changes in her body, and her tall figure seemed to be getting slimmer.
The bones made a subtle sound as if they were being pulled up.
Then, the fitted leather jacket, as if overwhelmed, tightly stretched, outlining the fiery curves.
"The hybrid … has a second growth effect?"
Luke glanced at the big headlights, which were particularly striking, and then at the taller, more muscular Marcus.
Thinking, 'Because they were different genders, they developed in different areas?'
"This the hybrid … ?"
Selene was unaware of her boss's strange and inexplicable thoughts. After a few moments of intense pain, the genetic chain in her body reassembled itself as if it were rapidly breaking down.
Her pupils turned completely black as if they could absorb light.
Her limbs were stronger, and huge bat wings popped out from her back like Marcus.
A fierce aura suddenly burst out.
"Haha, I remember you, Selene! The little pet next to Viktor."
Marcus's eyes were cold, like needles sticking to his opponent.
"Now you have become a traitor to your coven, a lapdog of a human."
"What is the use of becoming a hybrid if you don't even have the rank of an elder!"
Swish!
The bat wings sprung out!
Like a sharp knife!
"Hold your arrogance …"
Selene's body flashed. She dodged the fatal blow that could have severed her head.
"This will be your undoing, Marcus!"
Selene, who was also a hybrid, wasn't familiar enough with the sudden and powerful strength.
She swept through with a streak of shadow and rushed out the floor-to-ceiling window, wanting a wider battlefield.
"I will prove to you who the best son of Corvinus is!"
Marcus made a sharp statement and followed after Selene, who was hovering at a low altitude.
The two clashed like lightning in a rapid exchange of blows.
Like a rolling blade, the bat wings kept spinning and slashing, bringing up strong air currents.
"Mr. Corvinus, there shouldn't be a problem if your son gets injured, right? "
Luke walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the two hybrids battling furiously.
Marcus was better in strength, while Selene was better in speed.
It was down to who had more combat experience and endurance.
"Lieutenant General Cavill, Marcus deserves a lesson, but he …"
Corvinus watched Luke's expression change and silently swallowed the phrase 'is still a child'.
After all, Marcus has lived for hundreds of years, and no one would believe him if he said he was a 'spoiled child'.
"I still hope you … would do me the honor of teaching him a lesson, just this once."
Corvinus was never a strict father. Otherwise, when William caused a 'wolf disaster', he would have stepped up and cut off the source.
For so many years, the Hungarian warlord quietly wiped the asses of his two ungrateful sons and took care of the loose ends.
They even came up with the idea of hiring people to write about vampires and make movies about vampires to expand their influence and cover up their existence.
"I have no bias against Marcus, but this is a … personal vendetta between him and Selene."
The corners of Luke's mouth turned up, and he whispered, "How could there be room for two hybrids in the Corvinus coven? "
"The time when the elders took turns to rule has passed. There can only be one ruler in the future."
"Who will become the leader of the coven, lead the vampires to the North American continent, enter the Magic Congress, and occupy that seat --"
"All this -- will have to wait for the outcome of this battle."
"Winners will have power."
"Losers will remain in the 'sanctuary' designated by the sanctums."
Corvinus's heart jumped; there was a feeling of falling into a trap.
He thought of the three seats in the Magic Congress discussed before. If Marcus lost later, it meant that Selene would have the final say in the future.
If the female vampire warrior, who became a hybrid, took a seat.
And then, Lucian, who had just shown his loyalty.
He was the Lycan Leader, and he would naturally occupy a seat.
In this way, as the family's patriarch, Corvinus would have only one seat to hold.
When a problem needed a resolution, and the two votes were against his one vote, then his voice was useless.
"General Cavill, I think … this is very unfair."
Corvinus, who felt like an honest man being bullied, politely expressed his opinion.
"Is it? But that's fair enough for me."
Luke raised an eyebrow and calmly replied.
"Don't mind the details, Mr. Corvinus."
"Marcus was already an elder, and becoming a hybrid will only make him stronger!"
"Don't you have confidence in your son? You don't think he's a match for Selene?"
Corvinus looked at Marcus, who had the upper hand for the time being. He didn't know how to answer.
Although it was said that his son was stupid and vicious.
But in terms of strength, he was really a step ahead of Selene.
However, there was always the strange feeling that it was all a trap!
Such a thought crossed Corvinus's mind.
While Luke was chatting with Corvinus, the battle between the two hybrids took a turn.
Marcus's bat wings flashed, and he approached Selene, who was losing strength and was in a disadvantageous position.
The blue-black veins on the ferocious face revealed a serious murderous intent.
"Fresh blood from the same race … I wonder how it tastes?"
A thought swept through Marcus's mind. He quickly strangled her neck. His hand felt like it was cast in iron.
At the same time--
Boom!
An ultraviolet bullet penetrated the heart of the hybrid man.
"You …"
Marcus's movement paused, and his hand dropped helplessly.
He looked down and stared at the wound.
"Times have changed, Marcus. Werewolves are no longer hunted with swords, nor are vampires dealt with silver crosses and bibles."
Selene added one more shot. If he were a normal vampire, he would have been burned to ashes by the ultraviolet light.
But Marcus was already a hybrid and was no longer under the curse of daylight.
Two bullets through the heart only made him weak.
"You should learn to accept the changes of the new world. Vampires hiding in dark castles have no future. We have to keep up with the times."
Selene repeated the ideas Luke had instilled in her.
Then, she ruthlessly tore off Marcus's bat wings!
She watched the other party fall and smash into a house.
Luke, who witnessed the end of the battle, shrugged his shoulders and comforted rather perfunctorily, "What a pity your son lost, Mr. Corvinus."
"This may be the … evolution of the times. "
