In an instant, the Vampire leader turned into a bloodied ss, with no intact skin left on his body.
Although his appearance was tragic, it was clear that the amount of one anticoagulant was not enough to completely kill him.
The degree of cell expansion still allowed Deacon to maintain a basic human form.
On the other side, Blade, who had fallen to the ground, recovered and, seeing that the anticoagulant was indeed effective, took out two more doses and rushed forward.
"Puff… puff… puff…"
With a series of muffled thuds, Eric inserted almost all the dicine from his belt into the Vampire leader's body; at this point, he only had one last anticoagulant left in his hand.
As for the Vampire leader, he had long since lost the power to resist. His expression was extrely painful, and his body swelled into a ball of flesh under the effect of the dicine.
"Die!"
Carrying all his hatred, Blade plunged the last anticoagulant fiercely into Deacon's forehead.
Imdiately, the Vampire's body completely lost control, and finally, with a "bang," it exploded everywhere.
And these chunks of flesh, without their original power, rapidly withered after landing, eventually turning into charcoal-like matter.
It's finally over.
Blade, who had personally ended his enemy, also exhausted his last ounce of strength and collapsed onto the ground, disregarding his appearance.
"Eric!"
At this mont, Whistler, in a weakened state, arrived at the scene, supported by Dr. Karen.
"Let's go."
Mike, having seen what he wanted to see and with the mission successfully concluded, gathered the X Squad mbers and walked out.
At this ti, the NYPD and MIB Agents, who had finished collecting the Half-Vampire captives, also entered the ancient castle to clear the scene.
It was convenient that Vampires either turned to ash or charred remains after death, but the Half-Vampire corpses in the ancient castle needed to be dealt with.
Upon seeing the X Squad approach, the NYPD and MIB Agents handling the scene all showed respectful expressions.
One didn't even need to think; just by looking at the current scene in the ancient castle, they knew what kind of battle the X Squad had experienced.
The strong deserve respect.
"Agent J, I think after this support mission, you should have a full understanding of the female partner you recomnded. So, I don't need to tell you what to do next, do I?"
Agent O, who was stationed at the MIB Headquarters, was very dissatisfied with Agent L's performance this ti and had already decided to have her withdraw from the MIB.
The nature of the MIB dictates that every agent in the organization must undergo great trials, and their actions often have significant implications.
Therefore, every agent needs to be carefully selected.
Clearly, Laurel's "saintly" ntality was not suitable for this important job.
"I understand." Agent J sighed deeply.
He admitted that he liked Laurel a bit, but that liking was not enough for her to joke with the lives of their own people.
Agent J, having received the "mission," adjusted the mory-eraser in his hand and walked towards the girl who was still emotional in the corner.
Perhaps letting Laurel leave the MIB would be a good thing for both parties.
When Mike walked out of the ancient castle, the Half-Vampire captives had already been taken away by the NYPD. Although those people would not be in mortal danger, they would probably never see the sun again for the rest of their lives.
In an open space next to the ancient castle, a dozen or so clergy mbers were treating the wounds of NYPD officers who had been scratched by Vampires.
It's worth ntioning that the church's holy water indeed has a natural advantage in treating infections from evil creatures.
Mike also saw an acquaintance, Father Jas, among that group of clergy mbers, and coincidentally, he was also looking in this direction.
"Mike, didn't I tell you before that when you encounter missions dealing with evil creatures, you can co to for so equipnt…" Father Jas walked over, feigning generosity while expressing his dissatisfaction.
The truth was, the last ti they t, Mike had asked him for equipnt such as holy water, a Bible, and a cross.
At that ti, this Father Jas was stingy and didn't give any, only making so appropriate promises.
And before this mission, Mike happened to experience a surge in strength and also had specialized dicine to deal with Vampires, so he completely forgot about Father Jas and the promises he had made.
"What, are you willing to give the cross hanging in your church now?" Mike joked back.
Actually, Father Jas had a pretty good impression score with Mike, as he had a good personality and wasn't rigid.
"This… I don't have the final say."
Facing Mike's outrageous request, Father Jas was embarrassed.
He was just a priest; above him were bishops, cardinals, and the Pope. Within the church's sphere of influence, Jas was just a small fry.
"Seriously, your MIB's mission against the Vampires this ti didn't notify the church. Do you know what that ans?" Father Jas lowered his voice, his expression also becoming solemn.
Yes, this major operation against the Vampires in New York was planned solely by the MIB from beginning to end, without prior communication with the church.
One should know that previously, missions dealing with evil creatures were always led by the church.
Father Jas wanted to convey the ssage: Was the MIB trying to beco a competitor to the church's power through this operation.
As more and more mysterious events erge today, such as werewolves, Vampires, and aliens, they certainly can't be hidden anymore.
And as mysterious events surface, the MIB and the church's power will certainly also co into the public eye.
The MIB deal with aliens, and the Pope deals with evil creatures.
This was a tacit understanding between the two parties, but now, with the MIB's major operation against the Vampires, the division of "rights" between the two sides seems to have diverged.
"Maybe Agent O forgot, who knows?" Mike naturally understood Father Jas's implied aning, but he wasn't interested in these matters of "rights" division.
Can the struggle for ordinary people's worship and faith compare to the improvent of one's strength?
"Perhaps." Seeing that the other party didn't want to discuss this, Father Jas agreed and said no more.
After a brief chat, Father Jas watched the X Squad go to Agent O.
"Maybe he's right, what does this have to do with ? I'm just a priest…" Father Jas also figured it out; the issue of power distribution was sothing for the big figures above to consider, not for a small fry like him to worry about.
After a self-deprecating laugh, Father Jas returned to the ranks of treating those infected with Vampire venom.
It is worth ntioning that the clergy who ca to help this ti did not have the church's permission.
They were all privately gathered by Father Jas, who had received the news, and then brought here.
"Your X Squad's mission this ti was very well done. You can rest assured for a while now…" Agent O, who understood the entire mission process, affird Mike's X Squad.
Moreover, compared to the unqualified Agent L and the not-so-steady Agent J, Agent O liked Mike more and more the more she looked at him.
Furthermore, this mission against the Vampires was a complete success; not only did it eliminate the Vampire hidden danger in New York, but it also captured a large number of troublemaking Half-Vampire mbers.
With this operation as a "warning," it is believed that other mysterious presences in New York should behave for a while.
"Tina, co over and report our mission losses to Agent O and Agent Z…" Mike didn't want to hear too many complints, so he called Tina over and asked her to discuss financial matters with the organization.
Budget, reimbursent, subsidies, etc. were the concerns of the other mbers of the X Squad.
And as an intelligence officer, Tina also had to be proficient in this aspect; these matters would be handed over to her in the future.
By the ti Tina's financial discussions were almost finished, Blade also walked out of the ancient castle accompanied by Dr. Karen and Whistler.
"What are your plans for the future?"
After handing over the X Squad's subsequent financial matters to Agent Z, Agent O called Blade aside individually.
Agent O also knew about Eric's mother's situation.
In fact, the MIB Headquarters was quite troubled by Blade, an agent who was like an unofficial mber and acted very independently.
"After a while, I plan to go out and clear my head." Blade replied.
His mother's experience had exhausted him, and he had already developed the idea of leaving New York. Besides, Deacon had been eliminated, and Blade was no longer needed here.7
"Alright, it's good to go out and walk around." Agent O did not prevent Blade from leaving, and even thoughtfully prepared enough travel expenses for him.
Afterward, Blade, who mysteriously received a black card, returned to Whistler and Dr. Karen.
After telling Whistler about his idea of going out for a walk, Blade looked at Dr. Karen and said, "The Vampire threat has been resolved, so you don't need to follow anymore."
Eric knew his situation; the girl would only encounter misfortune if she followed him. So, he suppressed his emotions and planned to continue being a lone wolf.
"Perhaps I can cure the Vampire virus in you, and then you can live like a normal person…" Dr. Karen tried to persuade Blade to stay.
She seed to have a premonition that after this separation, when they t again, they would probably only be strangers.
"No need, this is how I should be…" Eric, accustod to his identity as Blade, couldn't imagine what he would be like as an ordinary person.
Moreover, the culprit who caused his unfortunate life had not been completely eliminated, and Eric still needed the power of the Daywalker on him to help.
Yes, Blade already had a tendency to shift his hatred for Deacon to the entire bloodline.
After all, as long as Vampires exist, people will be bitten by Vampires, thus repeating the "tragedy" like Eric's mother's.
Therefore, only dead bloodlines are good bloodlines.
"Take care."
Watching Blade and Whistler walk away, Dr. Karen finally offered her blessing.
Soon after, the female doctor found Mike and the others who were about to leave.
"You said you had a way for to join the MIB…" Dr. Karen stated her purpose.
After all, the Vampire venom in her body had not been completely cleared, and she urgently needed a place to continue researching the antidote.
"No problem." Knowing the female doctor's request, Mike readily agreed, and then continued, "But I hope that after you join the organization, while researching the antidote, you also upgrade the anticoagulant."
According to Mike's observations, the current anticoagulant was already at its limit for killing Count-level Vampires; to deal with older Vampires, its power needed to be further increased.
"I have no problem with that either." Dr. Karen said that since both were researching dicines to combat the Vampire virus, the difference between the two dicines was not very big.9
This was exactly in line with her specialization.
Soon, after the two reached a verbal agreent, Mike led the female doctor towards Agent O.
