<h4>Chapter 546: Pdin</h4>


    While Chen Chen was standing in the shadows of the hall, thinking, he suddenly sensed two figures in his Field range. The two men were stooped low, surreptitiously approaching the castle gate. One of them seemed to be dressed as a wizard and the other was dressed as a knight in full armor.


    The wizard’s body seemed to be in apletely transparent state, with only the distortion of light caused by his movements. Still, in this dark night, the distorted light was also difficult to detect.


    Invisibility technique?


    Chen Chen frowned. This invisibility technique that could only conceal through light rays had no effect on him. Under the detection of Field energy, this invisibility was much more conspicuous than that rogue’s ability to blend into the shadows.


    At least when the rogue escaped into the shadows, even Chen Chen’s Field energy had trouble locating him.


    Although the knight was not invisible, when he walked in the dark and stooped over, he could make himself silent.


    Stealth.


    Suddenly, such a word shed in Chen Chen’s mind.


    If Chen Chen was not wrong, this was a skill called stealth. The higher the stealth skill, the lower the user’s presence. With the help of some other methods, one could even attain the ability to blend into the shadows such as the rogue Chen Chen had killed previously.


    Sensing the two people approaching slowly, Chen Chen thought for a while. Then, he simply stepped back, always keeping both of them at a distance of more than 40 meters.


    Sure enough, at this distance, neither of them discovered his presence.


    “In other words, everyone can notice me within forty meters? Is this the ability of props? Or is it their own ability?”


    Chen Chen looked suspicious, but now it was not the time to bother about these things. Feeling that the two were approaching the castle area as if they were thieves, Chen Chen’s mouth twitched in a smile as he continued to retreat. When he reached a corner and could not continue to retreat, he flipped out directly from the side window.


    Finally, the two of them walked into the hall of the castle.


    When they entered Chen Chen’s castle, the nerves of the two were already highly strung. They moved more slowly and cautiously, but it was a pity that they did not step on the trapid before.


    They seemed to be looking for something.


    Chen Chen frowned and did not make a move but continued to observe. There might be some clues that he did not know.


    After going around the entire castle hall, the expressions of the two of them were more rxed. Just then, the transparent wizard put down his hood, revealing a middle-aged face with a yellow beard. “Good news, it seems. The vampire count has indeed gone out hunting...”


    “Don’t let your guard down, Gs.”


    The knight in full armor on the side also heaved a sigh of relief. His body was not of a strong bulky build, but a streamlined slender body. At this moment, he stood up and rubbed his sore legs. “The vampire count may return at any time. Let’s look for the artifact as soon as possible. If we find it, this vampire is done for!”


    “It’s a pity that our rogue was killed...”


    The wizard immediately replied, “Otherwise it’ll be easier for us to find it. I hope the vampire count won’t trap us here...”


    “It won’t be a problem.”


    The knight chuckled. “The captain and the priest John are guarding outside the door. Even if the vampire count returns, he’ll be distracted by the captain and John first, leaving us with a chance to escape. Don’t worry!”


    The two chatted casually as they began to look around the hall.


    Hearing the conversation between them, Chen Chen could not help frowning. If he did not guess wrong, the artifact they mentioned was the simple longsword that Chen Chen found.


    That sword had a powerful ability to damage Chen Chen and even the Field energy could not block the sword’s strike. This was the power of the sword. If it was used by an adventurer, it would not be difficult to kill Chen Chen. No wonder these people wanted to find that longsword.


    Still, these people did not know that the sword had been buried deep in the ground by Chen Chen and it was not in the castle.


    However, when they said that some people were lying in ambush outside the gate, Chen Chen immediately circled the castle to the front gate. Immediately, he detected that two people were hiding in a house in front of the castle.


    Of these two, one knight also wore silver-white armor, but he was much more muscr than the previous knight, more like a warrior who liked to face things head-on. The other one was wearing a robe, but ording to the previous conversation between the two in the castle, this person should be a priest.


    In other words, the nanny.


    Chen Chen kept the distance of forty meters in mind. He only approached those two at about fifty meters away and then observed them.


    ording to the conversation between the two before, this four-person team should be the team of the rogue that Chen Chen had first encountered. Rogues usually roamed about as scouts, so Chen Chen only met him by himself.


    After losing the rogue, the four of them simply went to Chen Chen’sir to look for an opportunity.


    Moreover, ording to the information that Chen Chen overheard, this warrior and the warrior who had entered the castle had the same profession, a ss called pdin. This profession was extremely lethal toward vampires.


    Although Chen Chen was not a vampire, he was indeed ying the role of a vampire now. This kind of pdin was used to deal with himself.


    Thinking of this, Chen Chen did not hesitate anymore. He condensed a huge hammer directly using Field at a distance of more than 50 meters, then hurled it at the burly pdin captain!


    Chen Chen’s Field power was immense. Although he was distanced by more than 50 meters, he still exerted a huge force. It was just a second before the hammer hit the pdin that this pdin seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly turned around and at the same time, raised the shield in his hand in front of him!


    “Boom!”


    There was a huge impact that boomed out as loudly as arge copper bell. The priest beside barely had time to gasp before he was mmed directly into the wall behind him, and then bounced back to the ground again. He was reduced to a crumpled pulp.


    All the bones in his body were shattered!


    The target of this attack, the pdin captain, was thrown through the wall behind him, but it seemed that because of his strong physique and the armor he wore, he only coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and kipped up while looking at the darkness ahead with amazement.


    Earlier, he had sensed an indescribable chilling from behind him. With a knight’s instinct, he immediately used a shield to protect himself. As a result, the priest beside him became coteral damage and died of the aftershock...


    “D*mn it...”


    The pdin captain gritted his teeth and he drew his sword with a sharp “ng”, looking as if he was ready to face death. At this moment, he had already nned to do everything in his power to block Chen Chen, to gain a chance for hispanions who had gone deep into the lion’s den to escape!


    Upon seeing this captain’s actions, Chen Chen had an even better impression of him. ording to the rules of D&D, not just anyone could take on the profession of a pdin. It required extremely strict self-control and strong faith. That was to say, a person who could be a pdin was a person who pursued justice because a person who had evil in his heart could never activate the power of the pdin.


    Nheless, the battle at this moment was enough to arouse the alertness of the two in the castle. In Chen Chen’s Field range, the two in the castle had already rushed out and were running toward the city gates on both sides without hesitation!


    Did they want to flee?


    Chen Chen had to stay here to deal with the pdin captain first, so instead, he used his Field power to fix the two directly in ce. However, in the next second, a circle of gray light appeared around the wizard’s body, shrouding himpletely.


    Meanwhile, the slender pdin suddenly roared and then his body shed with a hint of silver light, which corroded a portion of Chen Chen’s Field energy!


    It was just like when Chen Chen was burnt while holding the longsword before. At this time, although this white light was not as strong as the sword, it still fended off Chen Chen’s Field energy attack!


    “Is this the ‘protection against evil’?”


    Chen Chen’s eyes flickered. At this time, he was almost certain that among those who were the greatest threat to him, there was the profession of the pdin. Thinking of this, Chen Chen did not want to let the opponent go. He elerated and rushed toward the slender pdin.


    The closer the distance, the more powerful and flexible Chen Chen’s Field became. He threw a punch toward the pdin’s head but at the same time, secretly concentrated the Field energy and smashed it toward the opponent’s lower body!


    Seeing the vampire count was appearing in front of him, the pdin instinctively drew his sword and raised it. There was a sharp “ng” and the pdin had blocked Chen Chen’s fist urately!


    Chen Chen’s physical strength was even overpowered by his opponent’s counterattack. The longsword in the pdin’s hand flickered and instead shed toward Chen Chen!


    Chen Chen’s protective Field around his body would immediately melt like white snow in the spring under the attack of that white ray!


    Seeing that the sword was about to pierce his body, Chen Chen just took a step back at will and in the next second, the Field energy hadpletely hit the opponent’s crotch!


    “Bang!”


    The pdin’s eyes widened suddenly in a dazed expression. A trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and he slumped to the ground...


    It seemed that although the light on the pdin had the power to defend against Chen Chen’s Field, it also had to be activated. Earlier, Chen Chen first turned his opponent’s attention toward protecting the face while using Field to attack the lower body, so it was difficult for the opponent to notice thetter.


    Looking at the figure that waspletely limp on the ground, Chen Chen knew that the other party was dead. This blow did not simply shatter his lower body but also everything in his abdominal cavity...


    “Agh!!!”


    However, just as Chen Chen killed the pdin, a heart-wrenching cry erupted at his right. Chen Chen turned his head calmly but saw that the pdin captain had arrived not far away and just so happened to see Chen Chen killing hispanion...


    Immediately, the pdin bit the tip of his tongue viciously and spat arge mouthful of blood on his longsword. Suddenly, a white gleam of light protruded from his body and he barreled toward Chen Chen with steely determination!


    “Sacrifice!”


    At the same time, the pdin let out a harsh anguished roar!


    At this time, in the perception of Chen Chen’s Field energy, the aura of his opponent suddenly increased by a few levels. A force that Chen Chen must treat with caution emanated from his opponent’s body. This was a force of anger and madness, and at the same time, there was also a hint of death!


    This guy had expended his life force to kill Chen Chen along with himself?


    Chen Chen immediately understood the other party’s intention. With a slight curl at his lips, when the pdin was about to reach him, suddenly, Chen Chen pushed off lightly with his right foot and he floated backward as if he was weightless!


    “Vampire count,e down and fight me!”


    Seeing Chen Chen running away, the pdin captain was even angrier. He rushed toward Chen Chen while panting but after all, he was not of an agile profession. Even if he rushed forward with all his might, he could notpare to Chen Chen’s speed.


    However, Chen Chen seemed to be deliberately angering his opponent. He did not confront him but did not retreat either. Instead, he kept circling the castle, silently draining the power of the pdin captain.


    One minute, two minutes, three minutes...


    Five minutester, the pdin captain was showing signs of exhaustion. His face was blue and gray, and his lips also turned a strange white.


    His life force was almost depleted...


    The pdin saw that he could not catch up with Chen Chen and wanted to retreat, but just as he turned back, he felt another strong wind behind him. He quickly turned around and shed, but he did not hit anything!


    Seeing this, the pdin knew that Chen Chen wanted to expend his power, so he had to continue to retreat. Even so, he had not retreated far when suddenly there was a chill in his chest and it felt like his chest was bursting...


    The pdin captain looked down nkly, only to see that a hand had prated his blind spot and was protruding from his chest, holding a heart that was still pounding restlessly...


    “Your protection has disappeared.”


    Behind him, the deep voice of the vampire count was heard and this voice was already close by!


    “Ugh...”


    The pdin captain gave a sorrowful smile. He only felt that the strength of his body was beginning to drain from his chest. He wanted to continue to raise his sword but that hand seemed to see through his thoughts and withdrew from his chest with a “swish”.


    “Pfft!”


    At once, a torrent of blood mixed with mushy flesh flowed out of the big wound in his chest...


    A look of defiance shed in the eyes of the pdin captain, but this expression gradually became frozen and then he toppled forward and fellpletely to the ground.


    The pdin captain was dead!
