The First Magic World War

Charles's gunmanship was ordinary; after firing one shot, he found no opportunity to fire a second Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet.

He had intended to wait patiently, but the diary in his embrace trembled slightly, and a thought entered his mind.

"You may issue the following task to NPC Lord Leo: Kill Harriet Alva."

"Reward him with more Labyrinth privileges."

"NPC Lord Leo may issue the following task: Rescue him from the Labyrinth."

"Reward: Teach the Bloodline Mantra."

"You may issue the following task to NPC Harriet Alva: Kill Lord Leo."

"Reward her with more Labyrinth privileges."

"NPC Harriet Alva may issue the following task: Assist her in killing Charles Meklen."

"Reward: Some insignificant friendship."

After pondering for a while, Charles began to understand, what exactly was the trait of a Labyrinth NPC?

As the owner of the Machu Picchu Labyrinth, he could issue tasks to NPCs, and anyone who entered the Labyrinth could accept tasks from NPCs and get rewards.

The game-like nature of the Machu Picchu Maze-ification was not a problem of the Labyrinth Evil God Agmiras, nor of the Labyrinth itself, but of Charles, the owner.

After its formation, the Labyrinth would shape its own style and characteristics according to the master's will.

If it were the real Charles Meklen, the Machu Picchu Labyrinth would definitely exhibit an ancient temperament, matching the cultural atmosphere of the Old Continent. But the current Charles, whose soul originated from Earth's Huang Haisheng, a mathematics teacher, the world structure that most closely fits the Labyrinth in his memory are those detailed and rich games.

Thus, after the Maze-ification of Machu Picchu, following Charles's memory, a crude gamification took place, resulting in NPCs, and even such bizarre logic as "NPC Harriet Alva may issue the following task: Assist her in killing Charles Meklen. Reward: Some insignificant friendship." However, as it was the transformation of the Power of the Evil God, the core was not a game, and Charles was unable to fully grasp it immediately, only being able to explore gradually.

Of course, Charles wouldn't issue tasks to the two NPCs to gain more control over the Labyrinth privileges, which would be akin to "offering the hilt of the sword to others." He certainly wouldn't assist Harriet in killing himself, which would be purely insane. The only thing worth doing was to rescue Lord Leo from the Labyrinth.

The thirty-seven Vampire clans each had their own Secret Techniques, and each had a fundamental Secret Technique from which the clan's techniques derived.

For instance, the fundamental Secret Technique of the Asiluo Clan was the Angel's Thorn, while the fundamental Secret Technique of the Adonis Blood Clan was the Blood Flame Qi!

The fundamental Secret Technique of the Arthur clan was the Bloodline Mantra.

As one of the Three Emperor Clans, the Arthur clan, known as the first magic clan of the Blood Clan, possessed countless, profoundly mysterious Bloodline Mantras. With this Secret Technique, the Arthur clan had members of the Sacred Order in every generation.

Among the thirteen Unique Skills created by Protagora, there was no Bloodline Mantra, making Charles truly desire this Secret Technique.

Lords Leo and Harriet were by then engaged in an intense battle.

Neither of them knew why they had started fighting, but both felt it was trivial, and that killing the other was the real deal.

After all, they belonged to different nations, the Fars Empire and the Byron Empire, humans and vampires, with far too many reasons to fight to the death.

Harriet was constantly on guard against Charles's sneak attacks, always holding back a third of his strength with every slash of his sword, increasingly at a disadvantage. He knew that if he continued to fight this way, he was bound to lose and had to locate the hidden Charles and kill him to focus all his attention on Lord Leo. At that moment, he let out a low roar, activating another proof of knighthood— the Proof of Honor!

Behind Harriet, beyond the blood-colored flag, a vague apparition of Saroses Robin, the symbol of the War God of the Fars Empire, emerged.

Saroses Robin was one of the founding dukes of Fars, who helped King Akser ascend from a commoner to the throne, renowned worldwide for his loyalty and bravery.

This ancestor of the Robin Family also represented the glory of the military!

With both proofs of knighthood manifested, the blood-colored flag behind Harriet fluttered, sending out a ripple that spread, making his military saber slashes even bolder.

After unleashing three blood-colored ripples in succession, Harriet still couldn't find any trace of Charles, growing slightly anxious.

Lord Leo, after a long battle, had more or less grasped Harriet's strength. After all, the Radiant Fighting Spirit was quite popular in the Old Continent. Although it was antithetical to the vampire clan's powers and not welcomed in the Byron Empire, it was not completely unknown to them.

In his anxiety, Harriet inadvertently revealed a weak spot. He let out a long howl, and his rapier transformed into a Knight's Spear. In his shadow, two other figures leaped out—they were his two servants trapped in the Labyrinth with him.

The spear of the servant from the Adonis Clan, a famous weapon of the clan, was most powerful when it took the form of a Knight's Spear. With the Knight's Spear in hand, Lord Leo's Blood Energy surged, advancing him by an order, turning the spear into a sky full of light and shadow, blocking every counterattack route from Harriet.

Harriet had not expected this Blood Clan Lord to have such a tactic. He had never faced a high-ranking member of the Blood Clan on the battlefield and lacked the experience to deal with them. Desperately resisting Lord Leo's Knight's Spear, he could no longer attend to the sneak attacks of Leo's two servants.

Two flashes of brilliance passed, and his back and ribs were slashed with two deep gashes.

By now, Harriet knew the tide had turned. Taking a hit from Lord Leo's sweeping Knight's Spear, he spat out a mouthful of blood and without hesitation fled towards the outside of Machu Picchu Fortress.

Why would Lord Leo allow his prey to escape?

He uttered a light reprimand and quickly gave chase, with his two servants accompanying him like shadows.

After running desperately for half an hour, Harriet realized he could not find the way out.

His heart sank, and although he tried to rely on his military experience to find an exit, how could he have known that Charles was shifting the Labyrinth, changing the pathways?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lord Leo had been in the Labyrinth for a very long time and was well aware that it was impossible to leave the Ghost Fortress. He was not in a hurry, taking his time following Harriet, and casually pulled an Anti-Space Sniper Rifle from inside his collar.

He had told Charles that he brought two Anti-Space Sniper Rifles with him, and he wasn't lying. Continue your saga on empire

Lord Leo's marksmanship was much stronger than Charles's. Even while running at high speed, he still managed a steady shot.

Thanks to the vigilance Harriet honed on the battlefield, he rolled aside into a building, avoiding the shot.

Charles, meanwhile, pulled out a Silver Rhinoceros. Although the firepower of the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle was fierce, it was not as flexible and convenient as the Silver Rhinoceros. He was quite interested in this Transcendent handgun, regretfully noting that of the two he had, one had to be returned, and the other must remain unseen.
