#322 - Timely support
The Shadow Warrior glanced coldly at the marks on the ground, then turned to look at Gwen, a hint of respect seemingly in his eyes.
Gwen stared at the scene, still in shock. She looked at the Shadow Warrior gratefully, but he simply nodded slightly before turning and disappearing into the night.
Greenwich Sanctum!
This place was originally supposed to be the Sanctum where the Ancient One was stationed, but with the Ancient One going to outer space to stop Dormammu, it had already suffered multiple vampire attacks.
"Oh, sh*t! Why are there so many variant vampires in Greenwich? Didn't we eliminate quite a few of these things? And where are they hiding?" Tony complained as he flew through the air.
He had been in this area for half a day, killing no less than a hundred variant vampires, but this place was like a vampire respawn point.
No matter how much he killed, he couldn't get rid of these filthy creatures!
"The mages inside the building said that there should be a teleportation array nearby constantly sending vampires over. Unless we can destroy that teleportation array, we can only defend passively," Hawkeye said, standing on the roof of the Sanctum, constantly drawing arrows and shooting down the vampires that Tony had missed.
"Speaking of which, is this place really that important? Why are these vampires trying to attack this building at all costs?" Black Widow Natasha asked, puzzled.
Honestly, she herself had already killed many vampires. If Lin Mei hadn't supplied S.H.I.E.L.D. with some weapons specifically for these dark creatures, she probably would have withdrawn from the battlefield long ago.
"This isn't just about a building, Natasha!" Tony said, dodging vampire attacks nimbly in the air while firing palm repulsors to eliminate them one by one. "If this building wasn't so important, so many vampires wouldn't be trying to capture it!"
Wang, who had taken over the Ancient One's job and specifically ran from Kamar-Taj to Greenwich, explained in the communication channel: "The Greenwich Sanctum is one of the key nodes connecting multiple dimensions. The Ancient One placed a powerful seal here to prevent creatures from other dimensions from invading Earth. If this place falls, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"At that time, we might have to deal with more than just vampires! If things go wrong, Mephisto's avatar, the Hell Lord on Earth, might join in the fun and play another demon invasion!"
Remembering the previous incident, the few who were originally a little tired perked up!
Indeed, vampires starting a blood hunt frenzy was already enough to plunge the people of the world into despair.
If the people of the world had to face another demon invasion at this time, it would probably be even worse!
"Looks like we have to speed things up," Hawkeye aimed at a vampire trying to climb the walls of the Sanctum and shot it down with an arrow. "There are too many of these vampires. Our ammunition and stamina are limited."
"I agree," Natasha said, pulling out an enchanted pistol and shooting. "We have to find that teleportation array and solve the problem at its root."
Just as the group was discussing, a strong tremor came from underground, and the entire Sanctum began to shake.
Knowing the situation was urgent, Wang waved his hand and opened a portal directly to the sewer under the Sanctum.
Before Natasha could enter, she saw many vampires surging in the sewer.
She pulled out four ultraviolet bombs from her back, pulled the pins, and threw them in!
Soon, a strong ultraviolet light erupted from the other side of the portal. Natasha, who had avoided the ultraviolet light, waited until no more ultraviolet light flashed out before picking up her pistols and rushing into the sewer.
"Is she okay going into the sewer alone?" Wang asked into his earpiece, worried in the communication channel.
"Problem! F*ck, there's a teleportation array right here where you mentioned it!" After entering the sewer, Natasha was lucky enough to run into a group of variant vampires who had just teleported from the sewer!
"Natasha, retreat! Safety is the most important thing!" Hawkeye said urgently in the earpiece.
In the sewer!
Natasha looked at the group of variant vampires in front of her and said with a wry smile: "If I turn into one of those ugly vampires, remember to kill me! I don't want that!"
With that, Natasha took off her earpiece and prepared for a desperate fight!
"Natasha! Natasha!!! F*ck! Answer me!" Hawkeye called out several times, and after receiving no response, his eyes turned red.
Wang looked at the open portal, gritted his teeth, and did not go to support her!
Now that he was the only one who could hold this place, he had to protect the Sanctum.
"What! Looks like our reinforcements have arrived?" Tony suddenly said something inexplicable in the communicator.
Wang and Hawkeye were still immersed in the atmosphere just now and didn't know what Tony meant by saying this.
Just then, layers of shadows moving at high speed on the ground covered the entire street of Greenwich.
Soon, Wang said in surprise: "Little junior brother's support is too timely!!!"
Wang saw a mass of darkness suddenly pouring into the portal he had opened. Soon, Natasha, who had only suffered minor injuries, was thrown out of the portal by a Shadow Warrior in a daze.
With the appearance of the Shadow Warrior, all the variant vampires who showed their faces were instantly killed without exception.
The Shadow Warrior was like a god of death in the night, silently shuttling through the vampire horde, each attack precise and deadly. His figure was so fast that only afterimages could be seen. Wherever he went, vampires fell one after another, and the air was filled with an unspeakable aura of death.
Natasha came back to her senses from the shock and quickly put her earpiece back on.
Hawkeye also jumped off the roof, and after confirming that his comrade was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief.
With the addition of the Shadow Warrior, the situation quickly reversed, and the vampires' offensive began to become scattered and weak.
