Lu Yao was riding the Otherworld's elevator for the first time. The "Richard Hotel" had a total of four floors, and this spacious elevator could go straight to the banquet hall on the top floor.
When a banquet was held, as soon as the elevator doors opened, countless attendants carrying platters would gracefully deliver fine food and exquisite wine.
But this time, what was to be delivered were three humanoid tanks.
The old-fashioned elevator was slow. Lu Yao idly tapped his metallic fingers "click-clack" on his firearms while casually chatting:
"The newspaper clipping says that Vampires are ranked by strength as prince, duke, marquis, viscount, and baron. This woman named Kartin, who believes in the cruel Original Doctrine Sect, has a liking for little girls and has caused a number of tragedies in the New World. She's been given the nickname 'Bloodstorm'. Not favored by the Royal Family, she hasn't been granted a title, but she possesses the strength of a Viscount Level... equivalent to a Blood-Exchange Warrior."
Lu Yao's voice, slightly distorted, came from his battle armor:
"Vampires of the same rank generally outperform martial artists by a wide margin because of their various bizarre methods. That's why I made the 'Vampire Happy Eggs', don't hold back later, just shoot them all up!"
No sooner had the sound of his voice faded than a "ding" signaled the arrival of the elevator.
A faintly elegant violin melody came through, and Lu Yao sneered, "'Ode to Love'? These demon beasts really know how to enjoy themselves, eating humans while listening to music."
~~~~~~~
In the midst of romantic melodies reminiscent of lovers' entwinement, the elevator doors opened.
Several Vampires, as if on cue, turned their heads in expectation, only for their eager expressions to freeze on their faces.
Stepping out were three humanoid tanks moving with heavy steps!
Within a second, three AA-12 automatic shotguns opened fire, and countless silver beads poured down like a torrential rain upon everyone present.
Liao Qe hit a Vampire wearing a captain's dress uniform.
The demon beast let out an earth-shattering scream. The silver beads struck, charring the impacted flesh visibly, and amidst the sickening "sizzling", turned to ash as swiftly as ignited toilet paper.
In that instant, dozens of Vampires met this horrific fate. The banquet hall echoed with their wails, filled with the strange smell of their scorched remains.
~~~~~~~
"It's silver bullets!" The Vampires called out as they began to fight back!
Some flipped over the sturdy wooden tables to use as cover, taking out firearms they carried and shooting; others drew rebar-thick swords and teleported directly behind Lu Yao and his companions.
The battle armor's outermost layer, made of specialized "boron carbide ceramic", was designed with enemies that fired all types and calibers of cannonballs in mind, not at all concerned with mere bullets.
Amidst the "ding-ding and clanging" sounds, the trio felt as though they were merely being bumped by flies. The bullets fired from the Vampires' revolvers and shotguns, sparking in flight, were deflected, leaving behind only trivial scratch marks.
"Ding ding dang dang," the deformed .45 cal bullets sparked countless sparks, but Lu Yao was unharmed.
Throwing her guns aside, Kartin let out a piercing scream. The sound waves spread rapidly, it was actually an area-effect Spell!
And there was more, Kartin stretched out a hand towards Lu Yao and clenched her fist tightly, trying to drain his blood; her other hand condensed a blood-red energy into an arrow shape and shot it towards him.
It turned out Kartin had only fired her guns at the beginning to buy time for casting the three spells that followed! She had long realized that the Battle Armor was extremely robust; firearms were useless against it!
Unfortunately for her, the three spells were also utterly useless!
The sound wave only made the three of them step back half a step; the "Blood Extraction" was blocked by strange steel and earth and did not take effect; as for the corrosive blood-red arrows...
Boron Carbide Ceramic had strong stability and excellent resistance to corrosion! The blood-red arrows exploded on Lu Yao, only scorching a few small pits into the floor, leaving the Battle Armor completely unscathed.
"What kind of Battle Armor is this!!! Who are you people!?"
Kartin, having exhausted all her tricks to no avail, showed a shocked expression, then attempted to flee relying on her speed!
She turned into a black shadow, accelerating to nearly a hundred meters per second, rushing towards the main entrance!
The sisters couldn't react to this speed, but thankfully Lu Yao could!
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he went full focus, and the enemy slowed to 0.4 times speed.
What was too fast to see clearly became something he could keep up with. The AA-12 continuously fired silver bullets, covering all of Kartin's possible trajectories.
She was performing high-speed serpentine maneuvers, moving too fast to see, but the area-saturating spray of bullets left her with no option, forcing her to take several hits.
The female vampire let out a piercing scream as she fell to the ground, her wounds cauterizing and smoking but not fatal, as her resistance to silver was much higher than the previous vampires.
Lu Yao grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up while one-handedly reloading his AA-12.
Kartin's fingers turned into sharp claws, frantically trying to tear into Lu Yao's steel arm, but other than making some noise, it caused no harm.
"You lowly vermin! How dare you!!! How dare you hurt me! I am the daughter of the Churchill Family!"
At this moment, her once elegant and confident demeanor was gone, her clothes disheveled, and her body covered with slowly spreading burn marks.
Faintly, it seemed as if countless young girls gathered around, all of them unfortunate souls whose blood she had drained. The face of the girl patched up with rags was the clearest of all.
Lu Yao had finished reloading, pointing the Shotgun's muzzle at Kartin's head, and said, "My lady, I had a blast at your party."
With that, a spray of silver bullets blew off her head, a 12-gauge shell casing was ejected, clattering noisily as it hit the floor.
The old man, both blind and deaf, was still blissfully performing, the music entering a finale with complex emotions.
