With Mike's intentional restraint, his infiltration did not attract too much attention from the Werewolves and Vampires.
After unexpectedly seeing the First Werewolf, he was no longer in a hurry at all, simply standing at the edge of the battlefield, enjoying the battle while collecting attribute traits.
Looking back at the battlefield, the Werewolves brought by Selena did not dare to resist even when they were "accidentally injured" by the Progenitor.
Coupled with the many Vampire elites joining the fight, the Werewolves' situation was already precarious.
Feeling that the tide had turned, Selena quietly moved to her companion, Mark's, side.
To deal with the current situation, the Vampire decided to go all out and attempt a decapitation strike.
Thus, in the chaotic battle, Selena and Mark were seen avoiding the Vampire elites and rushing towards Victor's direction at the rear.
Victor, as the strongest among the second-generation Vampires and possessing the atavistic talent, his abilities were already on par with Marcus, the First Vampire.
Such a powerful existence naturally had strong perception.
"Thump, thump… thump, thump…"
Having detected it early, Victor chose to evade Selena's surprise attack of rapid-fire silver bullets this time.
"I told you, all your skills were taught by me…" Victor, facing his adopted daughter again, calmly crooked his finger and said, "Come on, you were raised by me, now let me personally end you."
The revenge for her parents' murder was irreversible, and Victor had no intention of keeping Selena, who had already broken ties with him.
"You demon, I'm ashamed to have known you!!!"
The calmer Victor's expression, the more intense the nameless fire in Selena's heart burned.
Overwhelmed by fury, she threw away her gun, which was out of bullets, pulled out a silver-plated longsword from behind her back, and roared as she charged at Victor.
To be fair, her current appearance and style somewhat resembled Blade.
It was just that the enemy she had to face was stronger.
Victor merely extended a hand and caught the slashing longsword.
Although silver weapons had a suppressive effect on Vampires, Victor was no ordinary Vampire.
This silver-plated longsword, specially crafted by Selena, only caused a puff of white smoke to burn on Victor's palm, with no further effect.
"Take your hatred for me and reunite with your parents!" Victor, controlling the longsword, swiftly reached out with his other hand towards Selena's throat.
If this grab connected, Selena would be crippled even if she didn't die.
At the critical moment, the enhanced hybrid, Mark, flashed in front of Selena to protect her, simultaneously transforming a pair of Vampire fleshy wings to block Victor's powerful attack from behind.
"Pfft—"
Victor, who had already decided to kill, his full-power strike was not so easily nullified.
Although this grab did not hit Selena, it pierced through Mark's back wing, directly grasping the hybrid's shoulder Blade.
"Why resist? Your situation is just a dying struggle, and you'll suffer even more—" Victor sighed as he looked at the two in front of him, then used the hand that was holding the sword to strike Mark's back.
As the two in front of him tumbled several meters while embracing each other, Victor's hand held a bloody Vampire fleshy wing.
If Mark hadn't had a strong physique, just that one strike could have torn off his shoulder Blade.
"Ma-Mark, are you alright?"
Selena, protected in his embrace, felt a hand covered in blood and looked up to see the bloody scene on her companion's back.
"Cough, cough, run! We are no match for him…"
Mark, who remained rational, had a premonition from the beginning that this trip would be very dangerous.
However, only after truly witnessing Victor's terrifying power did he realize the vast difference between them.
With no further desires, he only wished to see the Vampire who had once brought him hope survive before he died.
Not long ago, Mark was just an ordinary person, captured as experimental material due to Victor's hybrid experiments.
The days that followed brought him endless hybrid experiments, turning him from an ordinary person into a "monster" with powerful strength.
The torment suffered during this period was unimaginable to most people.
It was during this ordeal that Selena helped him escape.
Regardless of her intentions, Mark was grateful to Selena, and deep within his heart, some different emotions had even developed.
Now, facing life and death, these emotions were clearly amplified.
"No, I can't leave you!" Selena stared into Mark's eyes, seemingly also sensing his emotions.
Overwhelmed, she had already lost her reason.
"How touching, I was almost moved by your true feelings," Victor watched the struggling pair with interest, saying, "I've changed my mind, I've decided to keep you two star-crossed lovers…"
"How about it, Selena, my child, are you happy?"
Saying that, Victor picked up the silver-plated longsword that had fallen to the ground and quickly severed the tendons in the hands and feet of the two in front of him.
Victor did not keep the two because of the hundreds of years he had spent raising Selena and developing feelings.
Instead, he wanted to continue researching Mark in the future, as he was the only perfect test subject who possessed powerful hybrid strength while also maintaining rationality.
Considering this, Selena's survival was thanks to Mark.
After all, people can only endure more darkness when they have hope.
Selena was now Mark's hope.
Meanwhile, the Werewolves brought by Selena had also been defeated by the many Vampire elites.
Only the bloodthirsty First Werewolf, William, remained on the battlefield, fighting against the vast numbers of Vampires.
Although the outcome wouldn't be decided for a while, the ending was basically set.
After all, no matter how strong William was, he was just an irrational beast, and his individual threat was not that great.
At this point, Victor was undoubtedly the ultimate winner of this battle.
Of course, one also had to consider whether a certain spectator could resist interfering.
The answer was naturally: No.
The show had been watched long enough, and plenty of characteristic traits had been collected, so Mike felt it was time to end all of this.
As he slowly walked to the center of the battlefield, he immediately attracted the attention of many Vampires.
"Look here, everyone!"
Perhaps feeling he wasn't conspicuous enough, Mike clapped his hands as if playing a game, then continued, "I'll put on a fun performance for you…"
This audacious behavior gave many Vampires an unreal feeling.
It was as if this wasn't a bloody battlefield, but a relaxed and pleasant gathering.
Of course, some smart Vampires had already vaguely sensed that this overly handsome human in front of them was probably not so simple.
And among these Vampires was the Vampire leader, Victor.
However, no matter what the Vampires present thought, they were not worth Mike's further attention.
Next, Mike's right hand glowed faintly with white light, then he slammed his fist into the ground, and the powerful recoil instantly sent a large number of Vampires flying into the air.
Especially those in the center of the battlefield, none were spared.
"And now for a bath—"
As the strange words fell, the Power of Faith in Mike's hand condensed into a halo and was thrown out.
It was a roundabout way of letting the Vampires bathe in holy light.
However, this holy light bath was not friendly to Vampires; the vast numbers of Vampires directly turned to ash in mid-air, while a portion of relatively powerful Vampires fell to the ground like dumplings, struggling for two more seconds before turning to dust.
Only a small portion of very weak Vampires, who didn't even have a chance to join the battle, survived on the periphery.
However, even though they survived being affected by the holy light's aftershock, they were still not well off.
And Mike, who caused all of this, after the performance ended, did not forget to wave his hand for a perfect curtain call.
