The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 31: THE CLEVER PLAN

Allowing Lucius to come forward, capture Van Helsing, and inflame the city's sense of opposition to Anna and her family was naturally Roy's idea.

Since Roy had decided to take Anna's soul which could possibly be that of a noble, he naturally had to cooperate with Dracula's actions and even help her. It was also a good way to separate Van Helsing and Anna.

Roy also has a plan ...

The first plan: one of them is Anna's soul. Let Dracula test Anna, and if he was truly willing to sacrifice himself to save his brother, then the noble soul might be able to form. But on the other hand, if Anna did not want to, even if she died, it would be an ordinary soul that was of low quality and not worthy of Roy's attention.

Plan two: of course, is Lucius's fallen soul. Roy was more convinced of that. Although Roy himself could not directly move against Lucius due to the devil's contract, he knew he could utilize Dracula and even Van Helsing to get rid of Lucius.

And letting Lucius and Van Helsing meet is an extra guarantee. It was impossible for Van Helsing, a monster hunter, to miss the demonic aura in Lucius.

Regardless of who killed Lucius in the end, Roy would be able to achieve his goal. He realized that he really liked the feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes!

As for Van Helsing's soul, it wasn't part of Roy's plan. Although Roy did not clearly remember the plot, he vaguely remembered that Van Helsing was an extremely powerful existence, whether it was an angel incarnation or something else. Therefore, to play it safe, Roy did not think to snatch the soul of Van Helsing. Lucius' appearance may have dismantled his transaction with the demons, but as long as Roy did not appear in front of Van Helsing, there would be no problem. When he was unable to hunt down the demon, he could only deal with Lucius. As soon as Lucius died, Roy would leave and return to the Abyss.

Of course, Lucius was cunning, and no one could guarantee that he would not kill Van Helsing to not reveal his relationship with the demons. However, Van Helsing was sent by the church.

Whether Lucius moved or not, it didn't matter to Roy. If he could really kill Van Helsing, then it would benefit Roy.

The critical problem now is that Roy needs a little time for Dracula to execute his plan…

The townspeople tie Van Helsing and Carl to a wooden cross with both hands and feet tied and leave them in the wilderness. The city has used this method to execute prisoners for many years. When night falls, hungry animals will appear and wander here in search of food! All the townspeople have to do is collect Van Helsing's body the next day and then use his head to claim the prize!

While the others left, Lucius stayed. He waited until no one was around before saying to Van Helsing,

“I guess when people from church see your body, their expression will be amazing!” shouted Lucius

Van Helsing was expressionless as he said calmly, “You stink of the devil. I can smell it from far away. I did not expect to find anyone else who made a deal with the demons aside from the vampires who occupied this place. The church did make the right decision to send me to clean up this place! “

“Hmph, so what if you know?” Lucius said loudly. “The church does not care about our life for many years, and now wants to play the role of a good person? How am I wrong for seeking help from the devil to save myself? “

“This is not the reason for your damage!” Van Helsing. “I'll kill you and exorcise that demon, regardless of what kind of deal you make with him!”

“But the face feels right on its own!” Lucius shook his head. “After all, you should be able to do it. You better pray for the wild animals that come here tonight to eat. This way, you can at least die quickly! “

With that, Lucius left without looking back..

After Lucius left, Carl looked at Van Helsing with a worried face. “Van Helsing, what should we do? I don't want to be food for wolves! “

Van Helsing struggled but found that he was bound so tightly that he could not free himself. But he wasn't discouraged. “Do not worry. The blonde beauty was a descendant of the Villelis family. Since he knew my identity, he would know that we were sent by the church to help him. He won't see us being eaten by wild animals. He may come to our rescue after nightfall! “

“Then we have to find a way to save ourselves!” Van Helsing sighed.

As time passed, night arrived, and a body figure finally appeared.

When he saw Anna actually coming, Van Helsing heaved a sigh of relief. It seems he has placed the right bet.

Anna is not silly. He knew that Dracula had sent his wife to deliver a message with ulterior motives. Although it seemed for the sake of her brother, she would be completely ridiculous if she were to hand herself into danger just like that. In the end, she would not be able to save her brother, and the two of them were instead captured. After pondering for a long time, Anna came to the rescue of Van Helsing and planned to go with him to save her brother afterwards.

Anna carried a torch as she walked forward. He quickly cut the rope and removed Van Helsing and Carl from the cross.

But at the moment, there is an accident. From that night, two shots were fired. Van Helsing trembled and slowly fell to the ground.

“Oh no!” With a look of despair on her face, Anna rushed towards Van Helsing while watching the blood flow from her chest.

Lucius came out of the darkness. In that light, he looked full of arrogance. “Miss Anna, I think you might come to release these prisoners. You made me wait a long time! ”

“Why did you try to kill him?!” Anna shouted at Lucius.

“Why can't I kill him?” Lucius asked in turn. “He is a wanted criminal. Do I need a reason to kill him? Instead, Miss Anna, you came to release these prisoners. Are you planning to follow them? ”

Van Helsing coughed up blood and said to Anna, “Don't listen to him. He made a deal with the devil and it has fallen! “

Hearing that, Anna immediately pulled out her weapon, pointed it at Lucius, and fired two shots.

Although they stood apart, and Anna's shooting skills were not good and failed to hit Lucius, she still managed to scare Lucius, causing him to crouch in fear.

“Sir! Save me!” Lucius yelling.

As soon as Lucius finished speaking, Lucius' body was dragged away by a force that emerged from thin air.

Is correct. Roy's coming. However, he did not show himself but instead hid in the darkness and only let Lucius advance. Although Roy was speechless by how cowardly Lucius was, he could not let him die now, so he saved him.

All this was done in the dark of the night. Anna and the others could not see them and only thought Lucius had escaped.

Anna was a little desperate. He originally wanted Van Helsing to accompany him to save his brother, but Lucius had appeared and injured Van Helsing. Although Van Helsing was still alive, he could not accompany him in a rescue like this. After deliberating, Anna stood up and told Carl, “You stay here and take care of him. I go!”

He decided to go to the castle alone.
