Chapter 5 Between Priests and Assassins part 2

It was only 6:00 p.m. and the sun was just beginning to set, when three figures entered the cemetery.

"I thought vampires couldn't step on holy ground," commented Jack as he passed over the cemetery without any problems.

"We wear shoes, we're not stepping on it..." Diane replied with a smile.

- Seriously, don't tell me that... oh my god of course! the sole does not allow you to step on holy ground.

- Just so you don't get confused - Diane's bodyguard said - yes we can step on cemeteries, although there are "holy" artifacts that kill us instantly, but they are neither crucifixes nor garlic and neither are cemeteries

- By the way, who are you? Jack asked Diane's bodyguard.

-Crown Princess Diane Kurono's guardian, Christopher Rozacrux now as a new member of the Kurono royal house, I am also her guardian prince fiancé Jack Kurono

- What did you just say? - said Jack completely confused braking suddenly

I'm the guardian...

-not that! You called me prince promised

"About that," Diane interrupted, "how about we discuss it when we get the Dante statuette back?"

They were already in front of the crypt, the sun had completely hidden, Diane hit it and the stone broke like paper, a couple more hits and the passage was open, the steep staircase descended as if it were going to hell, to Despite being completely dark, the eyes of a vampire did not need light, for the three of them it was as if they were walking in broad daylight, they carefully went down the stairs until they reached an incredibly large round room.

- this is strange - said Christopher - it's too easy...

- I think the same, hell demon

a thick and ceremonious voice made them jump and stand guard out of pure instinct, a man dressed in a black jacket, tie and cape that elegantly contrasted with his white shirt and his silver crucifix was calmly standing on the stairs, apparently he had followed them so stealthily that not even three vampires had noticed him.

The subject had an air of solemnity and elegance, a pointed hat adorned by a white ribbon and a huge feather of the same color resting gently on his head, he had round glasses that did not hide a pair of kind blue eyes, another particular feature was his beard style lock, the man with a kind smile looked at the young people.

"Because I'm not surprised to see you here, Father Francisco," Diane said completely terrified, trying not to show the sweat running down her back and the trembling in her legs.

- infernal demon- said the priest kindly- of course it is not surprising that I am here, where darkness wants to be born, the light of the holy church will always emerge to illuminate the children of God.

The priest drew a gun and fired, Diane and Christopher moved faster than bullets, attacking the priest while Jack only managed to run aimlessly in the living room.

The priest drew a second weapon and firing at the young vampires began a fierce battle inside the hall.

The priest fired one of his weapons, a thousandth of a second later he fired the second, in the air the two bullets collided, changing the trajectory of one of them abruptly, hitting the arm of Christopher who fell face down, prey to pain, from having been a normal bullet there would be no problem, but this was anti-vampire bullets.

Diane evaded three bullets that, colliding with each other, changed their course, attacking her from impossible angles, not even for an expert shooter such a feat was thinkable, but that man made his bullets collide with each other, changing course at will, without even looking at her. As if knowing in advance her every future move, the bullets ricocheted off the walls heading for her from behind.

Diane barely managed to evade her rear attack, luckily she knew that technique very well, on more than one occasion she had almost killed her.

The priest, as if knowing that she would evade his attack, deigned to look at her, fired a new burst of bullets, the ease with which he had managed to corner her was surprising, in just an instant an attack came from all angles, he had no way to evade it, there was no blind spot.

that's why Diane hated meeting this man, he was too strong for her. Just when the priest finally gave her up for dead, a body of hers got caught between her and her bullets, giving the girl an escape route,

Christopher in a desperate measure had used her body as a shield, for his queen, he absorbed as many shots as possible, causing Diane to sustain only a few injuries.

- Criss...- Diane whispered as she saw the body of her guardian and friend fall to the ground, she without strength tried to go towards him, but the anti-vampire bullets contaminated her blood, she couldn't move easily, so she quickly she proceeded to remove the bullets that hit her herself, using her own fingers, even though touching them burned them to the bone

"I'm fine" Criss said standing up "remember I'm not a vampire, I'm a lycanthrope

Criss's body practically burst into muscle and hair, turning into a gigantic beast, but as he took a step he staggered and fell to his knees, while the priest kindly raised his hat with the barrel of his gun and said.

- Do you think I didn't put silver heads on them? – While he looked pleased, how in less than a minute he had defeated two of the demons most persecuted by the church.

Something startled the priest moved his neck back as fast as he could while a knife passed by a millimeter past the priest's throat, without wasting a millimeter of a second, shooting into the shadows where the attack came from.

Shadows from which emerged a man dressed in white, with blond hair and green eyes, with an implacable look, he was undoubtedly a dagger user, incredibly quickly he threw hundreds of daggers into the air and then, as if by magic, they attacked the priest cornering him

The priest fired, knocking down the daggers, but the guy in the white suit moved his fingers as if pulling invisible strings and the knocked down daggers immediately returned to his hands to be thrown again, the priest was in trouble, his bullets were not infinite, but the guy in the white suit being able to re-throw the daggers through that strange trick with his fingers had unlimited ammunition

Diane didn't waste a second and she removed every last bullet from her body despite the terrible pain they caused her, she crawled as fast as she could where her guard

"Diane runs away," said the huge wolf with an effort, "we can't beat a murderer and even a priest at the same time….

Diane was not going to give up, she was not going to run away like a cowardly rat, she took the blood from her scattered on the ground and transformed it into a sword and without hesitation she launched herself at the priest,

The three stood still, the priest's pistols pointed at the head of the white-robed man and the head of the vampire princess, the man's daggers at the priest's and Diane's necks, while Diane's fingernails were on the man's neck. in white suit and his sword in the chest of the priest

- It's been a while Neltair- kindly greeted the priest to the murderer in white- does your pagan organization still exist?

- My creed is more real than the farce represented by your corrupt church, damn priest- the murderer looked at Diane- What the hell are you doing here princess? It doesn't surprise me that her race is nearly extinct, if they lack even the slightest survival instinct. By the way I see a fun party here, do you mind if I join you?

- Of course not- said the priest- the daughter of hell and I, we couldn't have fun without the ambassador of the seeds, Neltair the assassin.

Suddenly a strange sound made the three of them turn their heads in the direction it came from, the doors of the circular room opened and from it emerged an army of mummies identical to the one the drunken bum had defeated, and behind them one much bigger than it was definitely the final boss.

- Well - said the priest - what do you think if we take care of these things and then I kill you?

- Do you murder me? - Neltair said surprised - I think you have very high expectations disgusting priest, but I admit that I agree, let's take out the trash first.

Diane looked worried at the situation - Neltair was a professional assassin who had killed vampires much stronger than her, the priest was a true monster - she looked at her bodyguard Christopher - who was mortally wounded and Jack next to Criss, or was he trying to remove the bullets or was she using her body as a hiding place, the truth could not be said with certainty, only a miracle would get her out of that place alive, for now it was best to play along and not show weakness.

- A daughter of the night does not ally with pigs from the Vatican, nor with oriental assassins, it will be rather a contest of who ends up with the most garbage

The three of them broke up... Diane had to think of something and soon or this would be her last night.
