The Vampires below stared blankly at the bats flying away together.
Is this a signal to retreat?
Could it be that their King was preparing to withdraw?
The Vampires looked back at the castle, where a faint red light flickered.
They breathed a sigh of relief, just about to turn back to stop the invaders. However, at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.
The castle, which had been glowing red, suddenly flickered and the light disappeared.
The castle fell silent.
The Vampires panicked.
They hadn't noticed any changes in themselves.
Could it be that their King had abandoned them and left?
Aaron noticed the change in the castle.
He shook his head. "It seems we need to speed things up."
He extended his right hand and snapped his fingers.
At this very moment.
Inside Dracula's castle.
Dracula clutched his head, looking in shock and fury at Doctor Doom, who was holding a Blood Chronovium glowing with a red aura, not far away.
Dracula asked, "What are you doing?"
Doom said, "As you can see, this war is over. I'm taking what's mine. Didn't you already foresee all of this?"
Doctor Doom held a large staff in one hand and Blood Chronovium in the other, feeling the immortal power contained within it.
The only visible eye beneath his steel mask gleamed with satisfaction.
Dracula was both angry and resentful.
Just now, sensing the abnormality on the superheroes' side, he hastily began chanting the Vampire Chapter, intending to transform the Vampires into perfect beings.
However, just as he was at a crucial moment, Doom emerged from behind him with a large staff, gave him a fierce blow, and snatched the Blood Chronovium.
His head was completely knocked askew.
To this moment, Dracula's head was still buzzing, as if countless little bees were flying around.
"Damn it, was this your goal? I thought you'd make your move later. Perhaps we could have both achieved our objectives."
The cunning Dracula knew Doom was equally cunning.
When the other party came to him with the Chronovium, telling him about the Evernight Project and the Vampire Chapter, Dracula immediately became wary of this old fox and highly doubted his intentions.
But alas, Doom offered too much.
The plan he outlined was too brilliant.
Dracula only thought for a moment before agreeing, and as Doom planned, he gradually transformed New York into Evernight, creating a Vampire feast.
The plan proceeded smoothly, so smoothly that Dracula lost his due vigilance.
After all, he had successively defeated the Vampire nemesis Ratatoskr, Blade, and even defeated Doctor Strange in his exclusive Sanctum Sanctorum.
Coupled with millions of Vampires, and countless Vampires rampaging across the globe, disrupting public order in other countries and delaying their armies, Dracula was confident that even if Doom had other plans, they would absolutely not succeed.
But what he never expected was, Doom had been watching him from the shadows, and had even been hiding in his castle for several months.
Who could withstand that?
Facing Doom, that sneaky old man, Dracula miscalculated and carelessly lost the Blood Chronovium.
Moreover, because it was interrupted midway, this Blood Chronovium was filled with a large amount of 'immortal energy' from Vampires, making it even more bizarre and powerful.
Dracula suddenly understood that this was what Doom sought.
He coveted the immortal power of time, but the Chronovium still lacked something and that something was the immortal power of Vampires.
Doom regretfully shook his head. "I originally wanted to wait longer, as the more immortal power it absorbed, the more perfect it would become."
"But unfortunately, there was a small flaw in the plan. Someone who shouldn't have appeared, appeared."
A hint of apprehension appeared on Doom's face.
Although he wasn't personally present, the power displayed by that group of superheroes was a bit too outrageous.
Dracula's Vampire army was mowed down like grass before that man.
Doom looked outside the castle walls and sighed slightly, "That's why I had to plan ahead and temporarily inconvenience you."
"Dracula, thanks."
Doom threw away the blood-stained mace and immediately turned to run toward the secret passage.
Dracula chased after him madly, he was unwilling to accept this.
As the King of Vampires, he would not allow his success to be ruined at the last moment.
"Oh, look, you guys are fighting among yourselves too."
As a frivolous voice sounded, Aaron arrived inside the castle without anyone noticing.
And behind Aaron was a group of stunned Superheroes. They had lost their usual composure, looking at Aaron as if he were a ghost.
"What? You... how are you so fast..."
Dracula was horrified.
He had deployed tens of thousands of Vampire troops outside, along with countless bats.
How could Aaron and the others cross the army without any obstruction?
Even tens of thousands of pigs wouldn't be wiped out that quickly.
Doom was also startled.
Using the dim moonlight to look behind the crowd, Doom felt a chill run down his spine.
He saw the ground strewn with corpses. The Vampire Legions that were lively and at their peak just a moment ago, were now lying on the ground, lifeless.
"Th-that's the Montesi Formula?!" Dracula's voice trembled slightly.
The King of Vampires, who had been so arrogant just now, was now trembling like a child.
Aaron glanced at him in surprise. "You know your stuff. This is a modified version of the Montesi Formula. It's my first time using it, and the effect looks pretty good."
More than just good.
Stephen and the others behind Aaron were complaining endlessly in their minds. They still couldn't forget the scene they had just witnessed.
Aaron merely snapped his fingers lightly and the Vampires who had been ready to move a moment ago collapsed scattered on the ground, as if all their life force and power had been drained.
This was the Montesi Formula, yet it wasn't the Montesi Formula.
At least he hadn't detected any backlash on Aaron.
The Montesi Formula without a price!
It seemed Aaron only glanced at it earlier, right?
Afterward, he was able to cast it, and even made modifications to it.
What kind of terrifying talent was this?
Even Stephen, whom the Ancient One regarded as the most outstanding Sorcerer, felt that compared to Aaron, he wasn't even one ten-thousandth as capable.
Receiving the affirmative answer, Dracula felt no joy, his face was pale and lifeless. Ignoring Doom, he waved his cloak, and his entire body turned into smoke, attempting to flee.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Aaron's expression remained unchanged.
He secretly used his Mist Ability to forcibly control the mist that Dracula had turned into. He pulled it down and confined it within a small space.
Dracula frantically darted around. The smoke sometimes stretched, sometimes dispersed, or sometimes condensed into a hammer trying to break free.
"You don't understand plain speech. Fine, if you want to leave, then leave. I'll send you on your way." Aaron sighed.
His eyes flashed, and the Montesi Spell unfolded.
A scream was heard from within the smoke, and Dracula instantly turned to ash, dying without a burial site.
