The rise of comics

London, England.

This is a deserted suburb.

Large forests have existed here for a long time, and there are only a few paths and roads leading to small towns in various regions and the main road to London.

As the night approaches, a line of black figures sneaks through the forest.

Quietly.

Soon, when darkness completely enveloped the land, these ghostly shadows crossed the forest, passed through the hills, and came to a small town that seemed to have a population of nearly a thousand.

At this time, the clouds in the sky moved away, and the bright moonlight cast down, illuminating the strange appearance of these eight figures in a silvery light.

These are five male creatures and three female creatures.

Although they have humanoid postures and faces, why are they called 'creatures'?Although these guys are all wearing black coats and look no different from humans, their bright red eyes are enchanting, their handsome cheeks are filled with extremely pathological paleness, and there are terrifying fangs exposed on both sides of their lips. , all reflecting the sense of evil that enveloped these eight people.

These are eight vampires.That is, the legendary blood clan.

And their purpose today is to have a feast they haven't had in a long time.This town is their restaurant, and the common people in the town are delicious food.

"Lisa, are you really sure that the priest in this town passed away today?"

The blond vampire man who spoke hoarse English and looked like the leader turned to look at a female vampire behind him.

"I'm very sure. As you know, there is my 'half-blood slave' in this town. I have always asked him to keep an eye on the movements of the church in the town. Any disturbance must be reported to me. And just this afternoon, The 60-year-old pastor died of a sudden heart attack, and the few remaining staff were insignificant and posed no threat to us. My 'half-blood slave' told me that the London Church will be open tomorrow during the day. The headquarters will reassign the priests, and tonight is our only chance."

The vampire known as Lisa smiled seductively.

"That idiot believed what I said. I told him that as long as this thing is done, I will transform him into a real blood slave, become one of us, and enjoy immortality."

"I asked him to put blood poison in the town's drinking water source. Without the old priest, everyone in this town is just a 'livestock' to be slaughtered."

At this point, she couldn't help but chuckled proudly.

"You're doing a great job. As long as we absorb all the 'livestock' in this town, our abilities can be improved to another level. It's not impossible for you to even become a viscount, and I can become a count. In this way Come, you don’t have to worry anymore about shitty bastards like Robert suppressing our branch of the family.”

The blond man's eyes glowed with hatred.

"But head, if we absorb all the humans in this town, will we go too far? If this alarms the London Church and sends bishop-level guys to investigate, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here. "

A large, strong-looking vampire frowned and spoke.

After all, the current era is no longer the era of the glorious peak of the vampire clan. The thirteen vampire clans are scattered all over the world. Many of the strong men in the past have basically entered a state of sealed sleep, and humans are no longer the ones who can control and kill at will. Weak races, not only humans have invented various terrible military weapons, but there have also been some special species that have mutated and possessed strange powers. The world has even been mixed with the existence of non-Earth races. In this diversified era background , the vampires put away their former high-spiritedness and hid in the darkness, keeping a low profile as they had not done such vicious things like massacres of towns for a long time.

"I think we can forge some evidence and blame the Setet clan for this incident. Those Setet bastards originally invaded our territory. This was originally the land of our Gangro clan, but Just because they had a powerful marquis among them, we had to swallow our hearts and give up a large area of ​​land to them. Now these shits are still trying to cause trouble for us all day long. Their purpose is nothing more than to drive us away so that they can completely occupy us. If we really attract the bishop of the church, this may be a good opportunity to get rid of the Marquis of the Setet clan."

Another female vampire suggested.

"Wouldn't that be a little too risky?"

"What if it affects us and a family war breaks out?"

"But those bastards from the Setet clan are already very ambitious. Judging from their behavior these days, they have long wanted to attack us."

The remaining three male vampires were whispering to each other and talking among themselves.

"Needless to say, Beverly's proposal is very good. If the guys like Setet Robert don't make it easy for us, we will never make it easy for them. Let's act according to this plan."

The leading blond vampire's expression was uncertain for a while, but finally he seemed to have made up his mind. As the son of the leader of the branch clan, he was so arrogant that he could no longer endure the humiliation of being overpowered. After tonight, he would let him go. These Setet bastards pay the price.

"Lisa, your 'half-blood slave', didn't you agree to meet outside the town at this time? Why hasn't he come out of the town yet? Could it be that his actions were exposed and he was caught?"

At this time, the last remaining female vampire spoke.

"Probably not. My vampire sense can still feel that this guy is still alive."

Lisa also felt that it seemed a little strange. They had been waiting for so long and talking for a long time. Why didn't the 'blood slave' come out yet? Could it be that the poison was exposed as Clara said?

"I think you are waiting for him."

At this time, a male voice that sounded a bit joking suddenly sounded at an inappropriate time.

"Your plan is quite good. I'm very interested in it."

"Who?!"

The leading blond vampire man immediately took a defensive stance.

The other vampires dispersed in an instant, but before they took a few steps, they suddenly discovered that a violent wall of blue fire suddenly rose on the cement floor under their feet, and the flames rising into the sky blocked their movements.

"This is!"

"Hellfire Array!"

One of the vampires let out a horrified cry.

"Oh? I didn't expect that there are people who know the goods in such a stupid place. No, I was wrong. It seems that you guys can't be called human beings. I'm right."

On the side of the road at the entrance of the town, a thin man slowly walked out from among the grass.

The silvery white moonlight hit him, illuminating the pair of oily and shiny brown leather shoes on his feet.

The man has short, crisp blond hair and looks to be about 30 years old.

He was wearing a long, slim-fitting dark yellow trench coat, lined with a white gown and a black tie. He had his hands in the pockets at his waist, and a playful and unpredictable smile hung on his stubbled cheeks.

Then, he glanced back, and there was a rustling sound in the grass, and a British man with long brown hair and a big beard walked out. He looked panicked, and his hands and feet were trembling. After seeing these eight vampires, especially the female vampire named Lisa, her face suddenly turned pale and she sat down on the ground.

"You slave, how dare you betray me!"

Lisa's beautiful face suddenly showed great anger, and at the same time she felt an extremely uneasy self-blame, because this person was the blood slave of her own who was about to join them.

Lisa never thought that he would betray them (her) at this last moment.

This man was not a pure blood slave, otherwise such betrayal of his master would never have happened. 'Half-blood slaves' refer to beings who are sucked by vampires and leave a drop of vampire blood in their bodies.Strictly speaking, half-blood slaves are still humans. They only have a weak sense of mutual sensitivity between vampires, so they are used by vampires to lurk around humans.Half-blood slaves do not have the characteristics and abilities of real vampires. As long as they are smart enough, it is extremely difficult for humans to detect abnormalities. They have always been used by vampires to carry out various intelligence activities.

Lisa realized that she had been fascinated by this man for a long time, and she had been firmly controlling him in her palms. However, she did not expect that her success would fall short. Since this man can bring a stranger here, it means that Their identities have been exposed, not to mention the hellfire array that had been ambushed for a long time. It can be seen that this unexpected man is definitely not a good person.

"Human, who are you?"

In the flames, the leading blond vampire man stared at this unexpected person with a gloomy expression.

"It's nothing, I just came to this town to do something. In the evening, I suddenly found this sneaky guy on the mountain. Guess what I saw when I followed him? He actually wanted to use the water source of the town. "Put poison"

The man in the trench coat did not directly answer the blond vampire man's question. He took out his palm from his pocket, tilted his head and made a gesture of spreading his hands.

"And the poison he wanted to put happened to be a thing that I am very familiar with. This is not an ordinary poison. Do you know blood poison? Yes, it is something that only vampires can tinker with. After drinking it, you will have a high fever. Not retreating, going insane, and there are even a lot of people in history who died from blood poisoning, and without exception, their faces were distorted and extremely hideous."

The man smacked his lips.

"Someone wanted the lives of everyone in this town. I was curious about who dared to do such a thing. So I came to have a look."

"I advise you to stay out of other people's business. You don't know who you are talking to. You are a lowly human being. You cannot bear the anger of the Gangro clan."

The leading blond vampire man threatened.

"It turns out they are the little devils from the Gangro tribe."

The man in the trench coat showed a surprised expression.

"No wonder you have the guts to attack the entire town. I have to say that among the thirteen vampire clans, your clan is the most courageous and has the biggest temper. Oh, by the way, it also produces sexy and hot bat girls. But you know, usually, In terms of courage, the most courageous”

The man whistled, and then an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"As far as I know, Constantine, they are all the shortest to live."
