When the cracking sound rang out, Dracula and Wang Yafu hurriedly looked down, only to see the ground suddenly cracking open;

Shortly after, a crack measuring hundreds of meters in length, abruptly appeared beneath their feet;

The bottomless crevice seemed like a giant beast with a gaping maw, ready to devour everyone.

Wang Yafu gazed at the darkness below his feet, feeling a chill run down his spine, a sense of powerlessness creeping over him.

Boom!

Suddenly, from beneath the abyssal crack, a colossal figure reached out with a violent force;

As Dracula looked up and glimpsed the true face of the figure, her expression changed suddenly.

It was a burly giant with eyes all over its body;

Emanating a terrifying aura, it gripped the rocky hands tightly on the edge of the abyssal crevice, trying to escape.

"Sister, step back a bit... The opponent is a high-level monster, not much weaker than me in terms of charm, not an easy adversary to deal with."

Honestly, Dracula did not expect such a powerful monster to be hidden in the vampire territory, and to have suddenly locked onto her without any warning.

She did not attribute it to bad luck, but rather saw it as a "gift" arranged by the duke!

The duke - the head of the second clan, had prepared a third "insurance" in case the assassin failed.

The Hundred-Eyed Giant!

Although called a "giant," there were no "giant clans" on the continent;

Like the harpy and other demon races, giants were categorized as "demons," but were creatures.

These creatures possessed intelligence, albeit only at a moderate level;

Compared to that, their own strength was the giant's greatest asset.

On the other side of the bridge, the attendants in formation looked up at the giant.

The attendants were far from cowards or weaklings, yet in this moment facing the giant, they felt a deep sense of helplessness;

Faced with such a powerful opponent, they seemed insignificant even when gathered in numbers.

"Roar!"

The giant roared, causing the clouds above to scatter, and leading to the attendants orderly retreating.

Buzz!

Just then, a loud buzzing sound, accompanied by a sword aura descending from the sky;

The light pierced through the firmament, cutting a corner of the earth, suddenly descending towards the giant.

Under the cover of this sword aura, the world seemed to turn deep red, the result of Dracula's action.

She displayed overwhelming strength with just one move.

For a moment, even the towering giant slightly retreated, avoiding the range of this sword aura falling down.

This experience was a first for the giant;

As a type of demon with tough skin, the giant's physical strength surpassed even the outer walls of the castle;

It can be said:

What the giant most relies on is its own body, which is its ultimate weapon.

But faced with the recent sword strike, the giant's intuition told it:

The attack just now was extremely dangerous, and it would not be wise to face it head-on.

Sure enough, shortly after, the sword strike from Dracula pressed down on the ground, causing a large collapse in the surroundings;

The force of this blow made the giant realize:

The sword-bearing blood maiden before him was a worthy opponent at the same level.

It's like a "contradiction":

Dracula's sword is like an unstoppable "spear," the giant's body is like an impervious "shield,"

when the "spear" and the "shield" face off, the inevitable result is the complete destruction of one side.

The giant believed:

what is coming later will be a fair one-on-one fight.

But Dracula would tell it:

Why fight one-on-one when you can gang up?

In Dracula's intimidating threat, the followers who were originally afraid of the giant realized that their leader was even scarier.

Therefore, the followers had no choice but to push themselves to grit their teeth and start carrying out the orders.

Soon, the scene of a group fight became a reality!

Thousands of followers worked together to create a pentagram formation, controlling magical attacks one after another, slamming towards the giant's position.

It was like a swarm of ants attacking an elephant herd.

Although the damage caused by the followers was minimal, it was indeed gradually weakening the giant's strength in reality.

And in a showdown where the strengths were closely matched, it was often these subtle changes that could tip the scales and determine the outcome.

The giant knew it could not continue like this, so it coldly snorted;

out of its hundreds of eyes all over its body, ten eyes suddenly opened, then burst out countless rays of light, forming a large net that spread over towards the many magical attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, those attacking magics were shattered to pieces.

On the quaking ground, the giant tore through many defense formations, instantly changing the situation, making the thousands of followers extremely passive at the moment.

The giant, single-handedly, gained a decisive advantage over an entire army, but at a cost.

The result of this situation was that the giant's own strength had never been so consumed in the previous instant.

And at that moment, when Dracula accurately assessed the opponent's weakened strength, he finally made a move again.

As the blade, like a blood moon, was drawn, magic swept out like a storm, setting off a resonance in this corner of the world, directly colliding with the giant.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

It was a thunderous roar that could cause ringing in the ears.

In the next moment, with the place where the two sides fought as the core, the raging power swept in all directions, causing the surrounding land to rise half a meter.

In this shocking collision, before the followers could see a winner, the situation changed.

They saw the giant take a step forward, breaking through the explosion's aftermath, locking onto Dracula's direction with that massive hand, and slamming it down with a palm strike.

This blow was a pure physical sweep; as it neared midway, the killing intent surged like rising tide, attacking Dracula consecutively.

Clang!

A supremely strong sword light soared from Dracula's hand;

under that strike, the red light rose like towering mountains, flashing towards the giant hand in a confrontation.

In a moment, another astounding collision occurred.

But this time, the attacks only had a brief contact, and then the giant had already charged in front of Dracula.

Just now, all of the attacks by the giant were nothing but feints, merely intended to draw Dracula's attention.

Now, the real killer move is here!

The giant's fist came crashing towards the target, truly showcasing its immense physical strength. For a moment, it seemed invincible and unmatched.

"Boss, it's dangerous!"

The relatives who could only stand by and watch from a distance now sensed the threat of this strike, realizing the peril that Dracula was in.

They shouted out in alarm, but it was already too late, as the giant had closed in on Dracula.

Looking from any angle, the giant's stature loomed much larger than Dracula's, like an adult facing a mere insect.

However, in a matter of seconds, a completely surprising scene unfolded!

As the giant's massive force struck out through its giant hand, about to harm Dracula, it was effortlessly absorbed by the calmly raised left hand of the opponent, completely neutralizing the impact.

Dracula seemed like a vortex, swiftly absorbing the force of the giant's blow, indirectly shielding himself.

Wang Yafu, who was in a safe zone witnessing this scene, was utterly stunned.

In Wang Yafu's mind, thoughts of the "Primordial Strength" sealed in the left hand, or the hidden "Qilin Arm" all came to mind in that moment.

However, none of these theories were correct, not because they were too fanciful, but simply because they were inaccurately labeled.

Dracula's left hand clearly had a more suitable name.

As the giant exclaimed in shock:

"'The Ancestor's Left Hand'!"

The Bloodline consisted of thirteen families, also known as the "Thirteen Clans";

And each of these clans possessed an ancestral artifact bestowed by the Ancestor (Cain) himself;

These thirteen artifacts were collectively called the "Thirteen Blood Tools," the most precious treasures of these thirteen clans.

Among these representatives were the "Illusion Mirror" held by the head of the second clan, and the "Ancestor's Left Hand" owned by Dracula!

To understand more accurately:

"The Ancestor's Left Hand" was not literally a surgical procedure performed by Cain, transplanting his left hand onto Dracula's lineage;

In the past, Cain directly passed on all the power of his left hand to the Dracula lineage;

Therefore, by inheriting a portion of Cain's power in the left hand, Dracula essentially possessed "The Ancestor's Left Hand."

This was the origin of the name of this artifact.

Similar to the unique effect of the "Illusion Mirror," this left hand was equally effective, specifically:

Whenever Dracula raised this left hand, he could completely absorb the opponent's attacks.

Even though the absorbed power would not enter Dracula's body and would gradually dissipate from the left hand, its impact was still significant.

In the previous moment, without the absorption effect of this left hand, Dracula would have likely sustained considerable injuries and been at a disadvantage.

From the giant's perspective, it was indeed quite unfortunate.

Although Dracula was on par with it in terms of power level, both being in the "City Toppling Tier," Dracula proved to be an opponent with an almost unfair advantage.

Considering this, the giant, who had never been afraid before, couldn't help but feel genuine fear at this moment.

Its hesitation was of no concern, as Dracula, being the dominant force, could not afford to let this fleeting opportunity pass by. He decisively chose to launch a pursuit.

Ding!

Dracula wielded his sword and slashed at the giant's massive palm, creating a large gash from which blood sprayed out.
