The missionary captain was almost moved to tears upon hearing that and thanked Isaac several times before leaving.Inside was a massive chamber resembling a grand hall, with a height of at least 98 feet in the center, crowned by an oval ceiling and a massive image of God.On both sides were arc-shaped corridors. At first glance, there were at least seven or eight floors that could be reached from this hall.Isaac didn't stay long, instead walking into one of the three entrances in front of him.According to Nicholas, when they caught higher-ranking bloodsuckers or enemies, they would imprison the latter in the blood dungeon beneath the north hall.There were three checkpoints on the way to the blood dungeon, with the final one guarded by two Dark Horse Knights. Isaac could only enter with the Grand Archbishop or Pope's token.So, for him, it was an impossible task to sneak into the blood dungeon to rescue Rem. What he needed to do now was to find Lotis.Isaac entered through the

"Iss—""Give me the token to the blood dungeon," Isaac coldly said.Lotis' expression darkened, and he shouted, "Do you know what it means to barge in here? It means that you can't walk out even if you manage to rescue Rem!"Isaac approached Lotis with his Skyrend Sword again. Its blade was bone-chilling cold as it cut through Lotis' throat skin, blood slowly seeping out."My patience is limited! Do you want to die?" He growled fiercely.Lotis sensed the impending demise. He knew that Isaac had the power to kill him. His face contorted in fear as he took out a purple token the size of an egg from his waist and placed it on the desk.Isaac took a quick peek at it. The token was similar to what Nicholas had described. He took out a syringe from his pocket, removed the needle cap, and quickly stabbed it into Lotis' neck."Isaac Garten! What have you done to me?" Lotis stared wide-eyed at Isaac in horror but dared not to move."It's a highly concentrated anesthetic," Isaac responde

Due to the blood connection, Rem, despite her overwhelming strength as a bloodsucker, began to feel intense uneasiness."Mr. Garten, it's very close now." She came to a halt, refusing to move ahead.Isaac noticed only one round arch-shaped exit ahead, with nothing else in sight. He frowned and moved a few steps forward. When he stretched his head out to gaze beyond the arch, he discovered a massive cave that had been hollowed out. The entire cave's walls were silver-coated. It was painted with several incomprehensible ancient hieroglyphs.In front of the cave, he saw an extended platform, with no stairs or ropes surrounding it. The platform was at least 130 feet higher than his current position. Looking beyond the arch, he could only see a platform extending 10 feet outside, with seemingly unseeable abysses on both sides.Just as Isaac looked up at the platform, he noticed a man wearing golden armor standing there, looking down at him sternly.He instinctively recoiled and turned

Isaac was surprised. He was curious as to how Bank recognized that Rem had formed a spiritual contract with him."Go see what's going on inside! It's His Majesty's order! Open the door!" An angry shout came from the blood dungeon's entrance.Bank frowned when he heard the voice outside. "Get up first, little girl. I'll deal with those damn guys outside."He flashed and disappeared from the spot. Soon, Isaac heard screams coming from ahead.When Isaac and Rem arrived at the entrance, they found that the two Dark Horse Knights and the missionaries who had been guarding had all fallen to the ground.Even a Golden Knight who had just arrived had also been drained and collapsed on the ground.There was still blood on Bank's lips. He gazed at Isaac and Rem, who had just walked out, with an intoxicated expression. "The Golden Knight's blood is the most delicious."Isaac ignored him and took Rem outside hurriedly.Bank glanced at them and smiled. Then, he turned and reentered the blood

Isaac hastily reversed the Jeep, turned around, and accelerated toward the rugged mountain road.He remembered that the map showed a relatively flat paved road about two miles ahead. They should be able to leave this place quickly.However, just as the Jeep entered the paved road and accelerated for less than ten minutes, four men wearing golden armor and riding white horses blocked the way ahead."It's the damn Golden Knights!" Bank showed a fierce expression.Isaac was about to speed his Jeep and rush by. But unexpectedly, the four Golden Knights in front suddenly swung their swords and attacked the Jeep.Four light golden shadow swords, each over ten inches long, carried the power to blast across space and slash at the Jeep."Get out!" Isaac roared. He swung open the Jeep door and flew out.Four consecutive loud booms sounded. The four shadow swords ripped apart the black Jeep Isaac and the others were riding in, sending its wreckage flying in every direction.The sound of h
