Chapter 545: Chapter 546 I Have a Reason Not to Die [5/7 Please Subscribe]
"Come out! How dare you put on this charade before a True God?"
In a fit of rage, Giles roared furiously. At that moment, his oppressive presence permeated the entire space, causing the bats and nuns to tremble uncontrollably.
The nuns and bats were all well aware of Giles’s power. If Giles wanted to blow this island to bits, it would be no difficult task at all. They were terrified, certain that anyone who opposed Giles would meet a gruesome end.
The nuns began to cry, while the bats erupted in cheers. "Our king is so formidable!" "Yes, such a powerful aura! I’ve never felt anything like it before. With the king here, we have nothing to fear from anyone playing tricks." "With the king here, who would dare to act so recklessly?" The bats were overjoyed.
"Come out! Why don’t you dare come out now? Are you afraid of me?" Giles asked, his voice hoarse with excitement. He asked the bats if they could still hear that other voice, and they all said they couldn’t. Giles was ecstatic. "See that, my children? He’s afraid! I am a True God, and at the mere sound of my voice, he no longer dares to be so insolent!"
Giles assumed his oppressive presence had intimidated Wu Tian. Little did he know that Wu Tian, back in the Dragon Country, was currently being pestered by Qin Yuhan and simply had no time to deal with this vampire.
「In the Dragon Country...」
"Our daughter just said you were carrying a torch for someone," Qin Yuhan said, sizing up Wu Tian from head to toe, her expression maintaining the authority of the head of the household.
Wu Tian was speechless. He glanced at the little girl again.
She just giggled. "Dad, I’m doing this for your own good and for the good of our family. What if you fell for someone else and our family fell apart? What would we do then?"
Wu Tian was at a loss. He really had no way of dealing with this daughter of his. Many men were like this; they could be powerful figures in the outside world, but at home, they were utterly helpless against their darling daughters.
Qin Yuhan wasn’t naive enough to believe Wu Tian so easily. She asked directly, "You haven’t been getting tangled up with any other women recently, have you?"
"I have!" Thinking of Li Xiaolu, Wu Tian nodded immediately. He had barely exchanged a few words with that woman before she tried to frame him. That definitely counted as getting tangled up.
"Did you sleep with her?" Qin Yuhan’s eyes turned cold, and she lightly bit her lip.
Wu Tian nodded again. "Yes, we did." He started to explain, "But..."
"No buts." Qin Yuhan scoffed, picking up their daughter and heading upstairs. She decided she wouldn’t be speaking to Wu Tian for the rest of the day.
Wu Tian was left speechless. People say it’s tough being a woman—doing the laundry, raising children, cooking... what a hard life. But what about men? Were their lives not hard at all? Trying to reason with a woman was completely futile.
Wu Tian was furious. He needed to find something to vent his anger on. Without a doubt, the first target that came to mind was that swarm of bats and their vampire king!
「On the isolated island in the Iron Tower Country...」
The bats were still cheering, assuming Wu Tian’s voice had vanished because he had been thoroughly intimidated by Giles’s aura. They were thrilled and utterly satisfied to be following such a king.
But their joy didn’t last long.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One after another, the bats began to explode again, splattering blood everywhere. It was as if a black, bloody rain had begun to fall upon the island, spattering the great stones and the Holy Church. The scene was utterly shocking.
The nuns were completely petrified.
"Who is it!"
"Who still dares to be so audacious!"
From within the tomb, Giles was furious enough to die. Finally, as the sun set, he crawled out. He had waist-length purple hair with slanted bangs that often obscured a pair of bewitching, liquid-purple eyes. He was a man, yet more beautiful than any woman, though his was a bewitching charm, entirely different from mere effeminacy. His presence was devilishly charming, and a single glance into his eyes was like being pulled into the depths of the sea.
Vampires have, since ancient times, often been depicted as handsome men. When Giles was human, his looks were ordinary, but upon becoming a vampire, his appearance became so magnificent that women would swoon for him.
Yet now, he was clenching his teeth in rage as he finally climbed out of the graveyard into the night. He was determined to see who would dare be so presumptuous as to play tricks in his presence!
Just then, Wu Tian’s voice echoed in Giles’s mind. "You wish to die? I’ll grant it."
What? Giles was startled. Before he could even react, he felt an attack. It was invisible, not striking his physical body, but rather his soul, his very mind. He couldn’t understand it; he had no idea how his opponent was attacking. He was utterly baffled.
Giles’s face turned pale as he staggered backward. Suddenly, he was struck again. His left hand exploded into a bloody mess.
Horrified and completely petrified, Giles watched his blood pool on the ground. "I give up! I give up!"
He had appeared on the scene as graceful as a nobleman, but now he looked as disheveled as a beggar. "Let me go! Let me go! I’m willing to crawl back into my tomb and never come out again!"
How could he possibly fight back? He couldn’t even see his attacker. He didn’t know how the blows were struck, only that he was being wounded. How was he supposed to fight this?
His face was deathly pale as he begged for mercy.
"AAARGH!" At that moment, one of Giles’s legs inexplicably exploded, spraying blood as he let out an agonizing scream.
The remaining living bats no longer dared to fly. They landed on the ground, trembling in fear. Their king, with his formidable presence and immense power, turned out to be nothing more than a joke before Wu Tian. The bats were now more terrified than ever, shivering uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Giles seemed to remember something and screamed, "No, no, I absolutely cannot die! I have a reason I can’t die!"
The bats were stunned. What? What reason could their king possibly have?
Giles cried out, "My... my brainwaves! I once collaborated with the military of the Iron Tower Country! I’m willing to serve as a marshal again! If you kill me, the Iron Tower Country will not let you go!"
"With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy and great advancements in technology, the Iron Tower Country is not what it once was! It now commands extraordinary, ultra-modern power! Do you really think you can fight an entire nation alone?"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, his body suddenly began to swell, growing larger and larger like an overinflating balloon, on the verge of bursting at any moment.
Giles panicked. "No, no, no! Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I..."
But in the next moment, his body completely burst apart in a spray of blood. Giles was utterly and completely obliterated.
The bats were stunned. Giles, who had proclaimed himself a True God, had died so quickly.
"You’re all going to die too!"
Wu Tian’s voice once again resounded in the bats’ minds, and they were petrified with fear.
At that very moment, a fleet of warships was already approaching the isolated island. They were coming to welcome Giles. In life, when he was human, Giles had been the invincible marshal of the Country of Law. Now, the military of the Country of Law had come to invite him to assume the rank of marshal once more.
