Andrew was stunned. The three billion-dollar bounty from the Dark Clans was no small amount. From what he knew, Guillermo's bounty from Dark Trinity was only five billion Meurico dollars.At the top of the Dark Clans' wanted list was none other than Reginald, the leader of Dragonfang, with a bounty of 12 billion Meurico dollars. Moreover, it was a joint bounty issued by the Lomuia Grand Cathedral and the Dark Clans.Juno glanced at Andrew and said coldly, "So, you understand why none of us are living an easy life, right? But the one living the hardest life is Mr. Lloyd Senior. As his son, I hope you don't let everyone down."Andrew gripped his massive sword, responding flatly, "I'll take the vanguard."Too many explanations paled in comparison to the proof of strength brought by the blade in his hand. The Dragonfang warriors were undeniably powerful, but Andrew had come to the Outlands with a singular purpose: to reach the peak of martial gods. His ultimate goal was to return to

The massive palace stood eerily empty. Vampires were known for their solitary nature, preferring to build their strongholds in remote wilderness or on cliff edges. They enslaved humans or other beings to serve them, and at the same time kept them as livestock for feeding.Andrew reached the highest point and noticed the storm clouds gathering in an unprecedented manner. The last traces of sunlight were completely blocked out. His brow furrowed as a terrible premonition gripped him. If sunlight were to disappear completely, it would be a massive advantage for vampires. But unexpectedly, the clouds parted slightly, revealing a blood-red light from the sky. It was a blood moon, and during daylight hours, no less. Andrew had expected a solar eclipse at most, but this was far worse: a blood moon that would amplify a vampire's power and brutality tenfold.Realizing the danger, Andrew immediately rushed downstairs.In the castle's bottom chamber, a brutal battle was already underway.

Knox trembled. "Everyone, be careful. This guy is volatile, but he's undeniably powerful."Franz roared, "Petra, get back into formation!"Petra immediately returned to position with his warhammer. Juno stood beside him, with Nyx expressionless in the middle.Andrew and Franz positioned themselves at the back.Franz quickly instructed, "Andrew, retreat with Knox upstairs."Andrew shook his head. "Mr. Hearst, that's unnecessary. Together we have a better chance!"From the moment he saw the blood moon, Andrew knew Soren would not be easily defeated.Soren's face twisted in extreme agony. "You filthy humans! I didn't invade your place and tear you apart, yet you dare trespass on my territory?"His mouth, filled with razor-sharp teeth, was literally splitting in half. "All of you are dying today!"A horrifying howl erupted, and blood-colored shadows flickered through the air.Petra's muscles bulged as he swung his warhammer, but after a dull thud, he was pushed backward. He excla

Andrew's massive sword erupted with a white glow. Without hesitation, he roared and used the sword as a shield, pushing forward against the energy storm towards Soren.The vampire duke let out a distorted cry of shock.Andrew, with a fierce expression, drove Godslayer, now infused with holy light, directly into Soren's heart."No!" Soren's mad screams exploded throughout the castle. His body first expanded, then suddenly burst apart, disintegrating into ashes. Andrew planted his sword into the ground, supporting himself as he gasped for breath. Franz rushed forward, gripping his shoulder. "Andrew, are you okay?"Andrew smiled. "Don't worry, Mr. Hearst. I'm fine. I just need a moment to rest." The dark clouds quickly receded, and the blood moon retreated unwillingly as sunlight broke through once more. Clear skies returned above Wicked Moon Hold.The armored battle vehicle quickly departed, leaving the castle behind. An uncomfortable silence filled the vehicle until Knox br

Andrew rubbed his nose. "Well, it's true enough."Knox looked starstruck. "No way! The legendary squad that gave the Dark Clans and major powers headaches was led by a brat like you? Ten years ago, you probably hadn't even hit puberty!"Andrew was used to such crude humor. He shot back, "Ten years ago, I was bigger than you!" Knox burst into laughter.Petra and Franz joined in, and even the cold Juno cracked a smile.She said, "You're growing on us. Anyway, I'm going to tend to my wounds."Petra also excused himself to treat his injuries. Andrew asked Franz, "Mr. Hearts, does Dragonfang have any Holtrien's elixirs? They work wonders on vampire wounds."Franz sighed and said, "You think we're back home? Dragonfang is small and hidden. We're famous outside, but our conditions are harsh. We were recently raided, leaving us with nothing.Andrew fell silent. After Reginald returned to the Outlands from Holtrien, he was ambushed by the Dark Lord Kaelen. At the same time, special
