Chapter 319: Who is the Real Sovereign of Blood?
Everything was going according to plan.
From the moment Ditto transformed to give out the chocolate, Dark and the two professors had been surveying the whole process together.
Once an error occurred in any part of the plan, they would think of a way to fix it.
But in reality, the plan went much smoother than expected.
Dark had a very thorough understanding of White and Robert's characters and behavioural patterns. He accurately predicted almost all of their reactions.
That was why the current scene was as such.Professor Cazer had adjusted the setting of these golems so that they would cooperatively play a game of hide and seek with Robert.
The purpose was to make Robert subliminally feel threatened again and again through repeated chasing, so that the soul of the vampire that might be hiding inside his body would also react.
Soul and body were one and the same.
With no other hosts around him, once Robert died, Vlad the Vampire would certainly perish together!
Therefore, as long as Robert was truly in danger and believed that it wasn't a trap deliberately set by someone, they would have a chance to lure out the vampire.
The moment the vampire exposed the slightest trace of his aura, Professor Cazer would be able to perceive and confirm his existence with his exceptionally strong mental strength!
……
The weakness of this plan lay in the fact that last night's astronomy class had already alerted the enemy.
Hence, Vlad the Vampire was likely to be on higher guard than usual, making it harder to trick him.
Fortunately, Dark's method was right on the money.
Even Robert himself would only feel that everything he had done was based on his own accord.
Moreover, it seemed that Vlad the Vampire wasn't as astute as they imagined.
……
This was the truth.
Because Vlad the Vampire managed to escape Professor Cazer's detection, Professor Cazer and Professor Silver had always viewed him as a sagacious person.
However, Vlad was actually a vampire who had lost most of his memory and had a haughty personality.
If he hadn't suffered from defeat and been ruthlessly beaten by Dark in the secret passage, he wouldn't even know what it meant to restrain himself.
But even after all that, he still exposed some tiny flaws after parasitizing Robert.
……
A few minutes ago, Robert, who had been running for a very long time, was finally pushed to his limit.
The stamina he was proud of was gradually exhausted. He could already feel the weakness of his feet as well as the pain in his sides.
Throughout this chase, the magic cards he had accumulated over a long period of time had nearly been used up, and yet he still failed to completely shake off those golems' pursuit!
The only thing that gave him some consolation was that he never saw White even after fleeing around the second floor of the castle for so long.
This made him think that White must've been lucky enough to avoid the throng of golems and had probably returned to the dormitory before the gate was closed.
That was right—it was past twelve o'clock now.
The curfew time had come.
He could no longer return to the dormitory.
Thinking about how he had no choice but to sleep outside on such a cold night, the despair in Robert's heart intensified.
It seemed that his luck would take a turn for the worse whenever White wasn't around.
The last time, it was also because he went out to follow White that he suffered a misfortune and had to sleep outside all night.
This time, although he hadn't been caught yet, sleeping outside already seemed to be an unavoidable outcome.
These two occasions clearly proved that he really shouldn't tail after people!
……
In the blink of an eye, he once again came to a familiar turn. Thereupon, he drifted around the corner in a practised manner.
Bang!
Without precautions, he went on to kick the Beetle, his whole body leaning forward from the action.
Seeing that he was about to fall, Robert grabbed the Beetle's long neck at the critical moment and exerted all his might to support his body.
But as the Beetle's neck began to bend, he had to prop his other hand against the ground, trying to let his body fall down as slowly as possible. At last, he didn't fall too hard!
But after this delay, the Beetle immediately rang out an urgent alarm sound, the red gemstone on its forehead flashing rapidly.
In addition to the golems pursuing him from the rear, even the golems patrolling ahead moved to come over upon receiving the call.
Robert made use of the momentum to roll away and save his strength, hurriedly running forward after standing up.
But just as he started to run, he heard the sound of turning wheels approaching from the front. This made his complexion instantly change.
"Have I been surrounded?"
Before he had any chance to think further, a Light Cavalry chasing from behind had already bolted past the corner and slashed down the long sword in its right hand without a moment of lag.
Rip—
In a flash, the sword cut a huge tear on Robert's robe.
Without having the time to mourn about it, he continued to rush forward in total panic.
Yet within just a few steps, a dark shadow flashed across the junction in front of him. Another Light Cavalry was fearsomely blocking the way ahead!
He was trapped between a rock and a hard place!
All at once, Robert's heart sank to the pit of his stomach!
……
Under the pressure of the Light Cavalry in front of him, Robert abruptly stopped and subconsciously reached his hand into his card pouch.
But after the magic energy flowing from his fingertips consecutively slid across the sides of the magic cards, the feedback he received only made him feel even more hopeless.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, the sound of the long sword piercing through the air came from behind him.
Robert's face paled in an instant.
He couldn't tell from what angle the slash was coming, so he could only muster all of his strength to throw himself to the side.
This move allowed him to successfully evade the attack of the Light Cavalry behind him.
However, he lost his balance after falling down. He wanted to stand up again, but his limbs were out of strength. He could only stick to the wall, watching the two golems gradually closing in on him with a look of horror on his face.
The approaching Light Cavalry got to him in just two steps.
Raising the long sword in its left hand, it briskly bent over and stabbed out the sword, plunging it into the wall right on top of his head with a thump!
"Ahh!"
Robert's terrified shriek came half a beat later.
Then, with its upper body still leaning forward, the Light Cavalry raised up two of its spider legs and fiercely jabbed the sharp tips into the wall at both sides of Robert's neck.
Along with the sword, they formed a perfect triangle, locking Robert's head in the middle.
Robert was instantly scared out of his wits, shaking all over without daring to move.
Tilting up his head, he firmly stared into the eyes of the Light Cavalry, seemingly afraid that some kind of light beams would shoot out from those mechanical orbs!
On the other side, the Light Cavalry that had blocked his way forward also came over.
