Chapter 293

The strength of vampires was something Karel understood better than anyone.

Yet, a vampire, using all their might, couldn't even budge a single person?

Was that even reasonable?

Karel was stunned, feeling that something was terribly off.

It wasn't just him; the other vampires watching were also sensing that something was amiss.

Seeing Delia, a vampire, unable to push someone with her supernatural strength, was like watching an elephant fail to move an ant. The scene left them shocked and bewildered.

"Who exactly are you?!" Delia shrieked, her voice full of disbelief. "You're definitely not an ordinary human!"

Her question was met with an indifferent gaze from Syd, as if he were observing a monkey. "Vampires, huh? How interesting…"

His dismissive attitude infuriated Delia.

"Don't think being special makes you invincible! Even if you're strong, there are so many of us here. What can you possibly do?" Delia sneered.

Her words reminded the other vampires, who began to sneer as well, their faces filled with mockery as they glared at the figure in white before them.

Karel's expression shifted.

"Yes, how could one person possibly deal with so many…" Karel muttered, but before he could finish, a strange phenomenon unfolded before his eyes.

In the dimly lit, blood-scented bar, a ray of bright sunlight suddenly appeared.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as they gazed at the figure bathed in sunlight.

In the next moment, the radiant light shone directly on Delia.

"Ahhh…"

Delia, who had been frozen in shock, let out a blood-curdling scream. Her pristine, alabaster skin began to emit black smoke, and dark, corrosive spots spread across her body as if she had been splashed with acid. The scene was horrifying.

In mere moments, Delia's once-beautiful face had become grotesque.

Screaming, she tried to escape, but no matter where she ran, the sunlight followed her, enveloping the entire bar.

The bar echoed with the anguished cries of vampires.

Karel was speechless as he watched the vampires writhe in agony, their bodies smoking, and his gaze lingered on the figure radiating sunlight.

"Sunlight?"

"Who are you?"

"How can you possess such power?!"

As Karel gawked in disbelief, a sudden realization struck him. The glowing figure seemed familiar.

"It's you! The White Knight?!" he exclaimed.

At his words, the struggling, disbelieving vampires froze in place, their faces etched with shock, fear, and despair.

The name "White Knight" was infamous even among vampires. Everyone in their circles knew of him and dreaded him. His mere presence was enough to make them tremble in fear.

Not only was the White Knight's strength terrifying, but his abilities were also particularly devastating to their kind. Seeing him now, glowing with sunlight, was like witnessing their worst nightmare come to life.

"This is the White Knight? And we provoked him?"

"We thought he was just a human! We wanted to drain his blood and gang up on him?!"

Countless vampires were paralyzed with terror.

Delia, too, was utterly dumbfounded.

But their fear didn't last long, as the excruciating pain consumed them, eliciting endless screams.

"White Knight, have mercy! Please spare us!"

"It's all her fault! Punish her instead!"

The vampires begged for mercy, but despite their pleas, the White Knight didn't stop emitting sunlight.

In just a few seconds, many weaker vampires had already fallen unconscious.

The stronger ones gritted their teeth and tried to flee the bar.

However, the moment they moved closer to the exit, their screams intensified.

The closer they got to the outside, the stronger the sunlight became.

Clearly, the White Knight was determined to eradicate them.

"Fight him! So what if he's the White Knight?!"

The stronger vampires screamed as they charged at the glowing figure.

"Watch out!" Karel instinctively shouted.

Then, he froze again.

As the vampires rushed forward, Syd simply willed the divine power of light within him to surge forth.

Before they could get close, the vampires disintegrated into ash under the radiance of divine sunlight.

The surviving vampires stared at the scene in despair, their eyes filled with hopelessness.

"Why? Why is the White Knight here…"

With their final moments filled with resentment and regret, Delia and the others followed in the same fate, their deaths swift and tranquil.

Watching the vampires turn to ash under the intense sunlight, Karel was left dumbfounded.

As the light gradually receded, the bar returned to its dim state.

However, the absence of the once lively and glamorous vampires left the place eerily silent.

After dealing with the vampires, Syd didn't linger. Glancing at the now-empty bar, he turned to leave.

But suddenly, something caught his eye. His gaze fell on the ground in the center of the bar.

At the spot where one of the vampires had perished lay a piece of parchment, aged and tattered, resembling a scroll made of sheepskin.

"What's this?"

Ignoring the still-shaken Karel, Syd waved his right hand. A crimson glow of chaotic magic appeared.

The worn and ancient sheepskin scroll floated into his hand.

Opening it, Syd was surprised to find it blank.

However, he soon noticed something unusual.

On the scroll, strange symbols began to emerge—letters he recognized.

Syd was stunned.

What kind of item was this?

As he stared at it, his expression grew serious, a thought forming in his mind.

"Could this be the Chthon Scroll?"

Syd pondered.

The Chthon Scroll, also known as the Darkhold, was one of the most mysterious magical tomes in the Marvel Universe. It was also referred to as the Book of Death or the Book of Sin.

Billions of years ago, Chthon spent an immense amount of time researching the universe's arcane powers, eventually becoming the first dark sorcerer.

Over time, he grew increasingly malevolent, plundering the powers of others until a god-devourer appeared.

To evade this devourer, Chthon fled to another dimension.

Before his departure, he inscribed all his malevolent deeds and spells onto indestructible parchments.
