So hard to kill!

Su Ziyu looked at the pile of charred remains in front of him, reached out to brush away the ashes, and found a small piece of dark red flesh.

"Strange Item: Essence of High-tier Vampire Flesh."

"Effect: Can be used to concoct an advanced magic potion for vampire mutation, enhancing the success rate of secondary vampire mutation."

The only loot from Gimmon Fan Talaf was this.

Su Ziyu casually tossed this material to Lady Elena beside him, then walked over to check on the injuries of Van Helsing and Melissa.

Van Helsing's injuries were slightly lighter, mostly the aftereffects of injecting Czech-03, and he was now in a state of complete exhaustion and unconsciousness. In contrast, Melissa's injuries were much more severe, her spine had been dislocated. Such an injury would have left an ordinary person paralyzed if saved, but fortunately, the demon hunter's regenerative ability was strong, though she would need a long period of recuperation.

"See if there are any monsters nearby?" Su Ziyu drew his Meteor while looking at the injured others and said, "You all go tend to your wounds. Let Nicole come over to heal you."

"Lady Inid, you come with me to clean up the battlefield."

The entire courtyard was in a state of chaos.

Su Ziyu cautiously advanced along the underground passage, with Lady Inid behind him, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"If you want to ask, just ask." Su Ziyu said, looking at the prison in front of him.

This seemed to have held many humans in the past, with dark stains on the walls, and many bizarre instruments of torture scattered nearby, but he didn't see any monsters.

"Are you really a warlock?" Lady Inid asked seriously.

"Sort of." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said softly, "But I can only use some lightning-type spells."

"That's impossible! Demon hunters can't cast high-tier spells." Lady Inid said, incredulously, "Unless you were a warlock all along! A source mage!"

"Damn it!"

"Your mentor actually let a source mage undergo the demon hunter's magic potion trial!"

Lady Inid had a very regretful expression on her face.

Demon hunters also needed a certain spell-casting talent, but not as high as that of a warlock. The fact that Su Ziyu, as a demon hunter, could use high-tier spells could only be explained by the fact that he was originally a highly talented male warlock, but no other warlock discovered him, and instead, the demon hunters found him and let him undergo the demon hunter's transformation trial.

If it were during the Academy era, someone with such talent would quickly be discovered and taken away by the Warlock Academy.

The ones who underwent the demon hunter trials were leftover picks by the warlock faction.

"Your talent shouldn't be wasted!" Lady Inid was somewhat excited, seriously saying, "When we get back, I'll teach you meditation, perhaps you can master more spells."

"Alright." Su Ziyu's attitude was very casual.

He relied on Spiritual Energy to cast spells, but it was hard to explain clearly in this world, so he could only cover it with the identity of a warlock.

At least Lady Inid's Thunder Strike looked pretty similar to his Thunder Strike Skill.

There were few spoils in the ancient castle.

They only found some gold, silver, and jewels, along with some rather expensive antique artworks.

According to the demon hunters' data, the most dangerous creature in this world was the Shadow Elder, or the legendary Vampire Elder, no demon hunter had ever faced them. Besides that, ranked second were high-tier vampires, and in history, no demon hunter had successfully killed a high-tier vampire. Su Ziyu and his team were perhaps the first.

As for dragons ranked third, demon hunters had taken down a few during the Academy era, but later due to the sharp decrease in the number of demon hunters, they stopped accepting dragon-hunting commissions.

The most recent record was a group of bounty hunters killing a White Dragon in the Northern Ice Glacier.

The dragons in this world were relatively weak, many being sub-dragon species. The only powerful dragons appearing in history were the Red Dragon and the Black Dragon. As for the small Green Dragons seen on the Northern Continent, ordinary people could shoot them down with a bed crossbow, they were not at all on the same level as high-tier vampires.

If it weren't for Su Ziyu's intervention, Van Helsing and his team would not have found dealing with a high-tier vampire as easy as it was.

Before nightfall, they left the ancient castle.

Perhaps it was Su Ziyu's illusion, but after discovering he was also a talented warlock, the female warlocks' eyes seemed to glow when looking at him.

That feeling was strange.

Van Helsing woke up the next morning; his injuries weren't too severe, just needing some rest, which wouldn't affect daily activities.

"Here." He handed over the Power of Frost Giant and curiously asked, "Can you really cast high-tier spells?"

Su Ziyu reached out and accepted this strange item, nodded, and said, "Yes, I can cast a bit."

"But I can't use Dharma Seals."

"Tsk tsk." This old guy had an expression as if the heavens blessed the demon hunters, smacking his lips and saying, "I really didn't expect that! If it were during the Academy era, someone like you would have long been taken away by the Warlock Academy."

"It wouldn't be the demon hunter school's turn at all."

The conversion chances for demon hunters weren't high, and some had proposed that warlocks might also undergo demon hunter mutation conversion.

However, considering the success rate, most people gave up.

Warlocks wouldn't risk their lives just to strengthen a bit of combat ability, and genetic mutation might affect their spell-casting ability, since demon hunters could only use some of the simplest Dharma Seals.

Su Ziyu had many secrets.

But Van Helsing wisely chose not to ask further, because to him, Su Ziyu had the aura of a demon hunter, knew the demon hunter school's swordsmanship, and acknowledged himself as a demon hunter.

That was enough.

Whether or not Su Ziyu could use high-tier spells, or if he was a gifted warlock, those things didn't matter.

He wasn't part of the Griffin school.

Only the Griffin school's demon hunters would be constantly thinking about how to master more spells and increase their power. The Raven school's demon hunters were straightforward, melee combat was their choice. Over the years, Van Helsing had only mastered three types of Dharma Seals, and during the Academy era, there were some demon hunters who didn't use Dharma Seals at all.

Van Helsing didn't ask about firearms either.

Each demon hunter school had its own foundations; it was the entire school's secret. Just like the Viper school's Frost Potion, which was once used to assassinate a king, if the old viper hadn't died, he definitely wouldn't have handed over that formula.

He just guessed that it was a powerful magical item.

On the third day.

The group returned to the City of Freedom.

Su Ziyu, Van Helsing, and Lady Inid set off together at dusk, heading for the Night Queen's Brothel in the trading district.

They had completed their mission.

Now it was Lady Anirella's turn to fulfill her promise.

Hmm.

Today, mainly Van Helsing and Lady Inid would negotiate with the other party, while Su Ziyu was there to hold down the fort and play a few rounds of Kunpeng Faction with the vampire banshees.
