Book 9: Chapter 27: Baskerville
“You don’t get to choose who kills you!” Qin Lun was kicked into the air by Alucard, yet his assault didn’t cease. His hands moved, and the BURIAL OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS fired a bullet each simultaneously.
The instant the black and white bullets left the barrels, they were drawn to each other like magnets. Almost touching, they began spinning around their shared flight path.
Intense friction with the air ignited small electrical sparks across their surfaces. Finally, a chain of electricity linked the two bullets together, forming a larger, spiraling lightning projectile. This was the signature skill of the Legendary firearm – BURIAL OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS!
The bullet streaked through the air, tracing a dazzling trail like a corkscrew drill, heading straight for Alucard. The Vampire managed only a slight twist before the projectile smashed into his right shoulder.
Boom! Instantly, a volleyball-sized chunk of Alucard’s right shoulder vanished. Blood splattered wildly like a smashed watermelon, and his entire right arm dropped severed from the shoulder.
Yet, the grievously wounded Vampire showed no reaction on his face. He didn’t even glance at the injury. To him, this was likely less significant than the previous wound left by the Forbidden Scissors on his left shoulder.
“Ah, miscalculation!” Qin Lun muttered to himself mid-air, unable to resist smacking his own forehead lightly.
With lives numbering over a thousand, Alucard feared powerful attacks like this the least. Whether it consumed one life via the energy-intensive BURIAL OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS or a simple shot to the heart, the result was identical: one life spent.
Still, Qin Lun couldn’t be entirely blamed. This was his first encounter with such an enemy. Alucard’s physical attributes weren’t strong; his speed and agility were weaknesses. Preferring to trade wound for wound, he always came out ahead, exchanging a hundred of his lives for one of his opponent’s.
