Chapter 454 Perilous Mire
"Upiel is a legendary monster originating from Slavic mythology, closely associated with folklore in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other regions."
Adam continued his narration in an emotionless voice: "They are usually described as an immortal vampire or spirit that rises from the grave to frighten and harm humans."
"The Russian vampire in the eyes of Muggles," Grindelwald laughed.
"After the experimental subject awakened the mythical species, he was pre-selected by the Warsaw Supreme Council."
"The vampires want to try and see if converting experimental subjects with Upiel's traits into vampires can further enhance their abilities."
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, like a block of iron pressing down on one's head.
Zorian closed his eyes with difficulty: "I thought you wouldn't at least be our enemy."
Drazco was a few years older than him and had once been his elder brother whom he relied on.
But in just one year, everything changed.
The young man nodded to the old vampire in the lead before stepping forward and looking down at the crowd.
"Surrender. It's my last act of mercy that you've come this far."
Hundreds of guns, swords, and wands were aimed at the six people; at a single command, they would be overwhelmed by a barrage of attacks.
A boy, bound hand and foot and restrained by iron-like devices around his head and mouth, was brought out of the crowd. He had typical Middle Eastern features and was looking at them with sad eyes, as if telling them to run.
"You were originally Soviet assets. Defection is an unforgivable crime. Now that you've surrendered, perhaps you'll be spared for your research value," he said coldly.
"They want to capture him alive," Hermione said abruptly.
"Like that Rice guy, it seems he's going to be sent somewhere?"
She looked at Grindelwald: "Isn't it about time we made our move?"
The old man thought for a moment, then looked at Adam: "Don't rush, let's wait and see. If we really have to make a move, let this guy go up and try first."
Hermione turned her head and met the boy's innocent eyes.
"You want to test his combat capabilities? Aren't you afraid of revealing that he's Sechenov's creation?"
"Then let's just test his hand-to-hand combat skills." As long as the machine's characteristics aren't displayed, the boy is almost indistinguishable from a real person.
Grindelwald kept his eyes fixed on the situation in the hall and responded casually.
Hermione thought for a moment, then took out the Viles Sword from her pouch. She had forgotten to give it to Ron, so it would be good for Adam to use it temporarily.
In the hall, Branislava pulled back Zorian, who was about to say something.
"Drazko is dead. What's alive now is just a vampire in his skin."
She glanced around: "Like we said before, if we can't leave this world alive, then we'll die together!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a shattered ice spike suddenly exploded from the body of a nearby blood servant.
Carrying frozen blood crystals, it shot out in all directions.
At the same time, Metek's Lelek let out a piercing scream, forcing everyone in the arena to cover their ears to resist the headache that felt like steel needles piercing their skulls.
The exquisite stained glass was shattered by the sharp sound waves, but before it could hit the ground, the swirling, shapeshifting god had already turned the shattered glass into sharp cones, piercing the crowd.
Zorrian began firing his submachine gun, but more often than not, he used Veles's power to turn the incoming bullets into water.
"Bukawachi!" Boyang shouted, and like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed towards the second-floor terrace.
The curved blade in his hand slashed straight at the old vampire's face.
"You're courting death!" Drazko shook his head.
"Upier!"
The next moment, a pale skeleton dressed in black mourning clothes, wearing a leather hat, and with rotten flesh hanging on its body suddenly appeared in the air and blocked Bo Yang's vicious attack with its sharp bone claws.
But before Drazco could utter any more harsh words, he saw the boy's smug smile.
"Bang!"
A tremendous force suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and an invisible monster suddenly crashed into the young vampire's arms.
The monster, devoid of skin and covered in blood, was chained together, and its seven or eight arms, hidden beneath tattered cloth, wildly pounded at the enemy.
In a single instant, he knocked over Drazco and the group of vampires behind him.
Upier immediately rushed back to help and engaged the monster in battle.
"You don't think my Bukavachi is still unable to leave my body like it was a year ago, do you?" Mythical creatures from the Dimension of Travel are usually endowed with powerful physical abilities, but leaving their bodies makes movement much more difficult.
Boyang made a sarcastic remark, and took the opportunity to climb onto the terrace, reaching out to try and rescue Rice.
But suddenly, a loud explosion rang out in the air.
Bo Yang reflexively withdrew his hand, and where he had just stretched out, a vine lashed out like a phantom and then vanished in an instant.
The boy's eyes narrowed, and he jumped back into the hall.
At that moment, the forest spirits of Yashbik summoned life from the wooden floor of the hall, forming a simple thorny barrier to protect the six people.
"Supervisor Grimsel!" Bukavach appeared beside him, and even Bojan, a man who was fearless, trembled slightly when he uttered this name.
In the darkness of the second floor, a figure slowly emerged.
"Drazko, you still haven't improved at all, actually letting a child almost 10 years younger than you make a fool of you." A stern and cold middle-aged woman's voice rang out.
Next came a middle-aged woman with her brows furrowed almost into a deep frown, wearing a long leather-buttoned coat, and her face covered with deep wrinkles.
"Adelheid Grimsell, 40 years old, early mature case of Experiment 116, name means harsh and controlling, psychological defect is obsessive-compulsive, possesses the mythical species Kharshitz, level 3 researcher, also serves as the experimental subject's life supervisor, and will belong to the Supreme Soviet after the project ends." Adam brought new intelligence.
On the terrace, the wolf-fox vampires stood up again. The leader of the council glared at the ashamed Drazko but said nothing.
These elderly Muggles who transformed into vampires didn't have much fighting power; they were merely using this curse to prolong their lives.
"Is this all the power the Warsaw Supreme Council has to offer? They can't even take down a few children," Supervisor Grimsell sneered.
"I've been stalling for you for several days, but in the end, we still have to take action ourselves."
She turned her head and looked down at the six children below, who looked as if they had seen a ghost and were facing a formidable enemy.
A cold, terrifying smile appeared on Wen's face.
"A year has passed, and it's finally time for those disobedient children to be punished."
As she spoke, a nearly three-meter-tall, upright demon with goat hooves and deer antlers appeared beside her. The demon carried a box on its back, from which came the faint sound of a child crying.
"Khapperts, originating from folklore in the Alps, is a villainous demon who appears alongside Santa Claus during Christmas, especially on Christmas Eve. He punishes disobedient children and is revered as Saint Nicholas in some regions." Adam explained the newly emerging mythological species in a monotone manner.
