———————————————

Salomon's wound gradually healed under the slightly bright white light, and positive energy had an excellent effect on the trauma. Within a few seconds, his wound stopped bleeding, and the new flesh and blood gradually grew out to form a brand new muscle and skin.

"I think, I'm afraid I can't keep the promise, Mr. Barnabas." Salomon ignored Elizabeth's gun and Victoria's threat. He kept his kneeling posture and said to himself, "Unless I let them leave now, I can not hurt them. Don't you come out yet, Mr. Vampire?"

His trump card has been hidden well and has not been played until now, so he is confident of threatening vampires.

It was a quick decision to win, but because the range of killing was too large, he really didn't want to implicate the living people of the Corinth family - they were just to help their families, and Salomon could fully understand their thoughts.

He might have done more than he was in their environment, and Elizabeth was already very restrained by simply pointing a gun at him instead of shooting the head immediately.

Elizabeth was able to hit him before because of a sneak attack. Now she has stood in the open, and Salomon is confident that even if he does not use defensive spells, he will not be hit again.

"Shut up!" Victoria was furious when she heard Salomon's threat, "You hurt him so badly..."

"Okay, I get it." Salomon opened his eyes and a syllable came out of his mouth. The next moment, he was surrounded by silver mist again.

"Bang!" Elizabeth shot immediately, but only splashed a large area of ​​soil and grass chips, and Salomon was gone.

"Where is he?!" Caroline shouted, Victoria and Elizabeth looked around nervously, while David held his pistol in both hands and pointed at the dark bushes - the place really scared him, and he always felt something jumping out there.

He is now glad that he had let Willy leave the manor first and go to the gate to welcome the fire brigade.

A drunk old man is really not suitable for appearing in such a dangerous scene, no one will be stupid enough to let him take a gun.

After a while, just as they thought Salomon had left, a circle of orange-red sparks emerged from the gray stone road behind them, and Salomon walked out of the circle.

Perhaps the intuition of those with delicate hearts will be a little more accurate. David's intuition was not wrong. Salomon was indeed in the bush before. He opened a portal there and took out something. At this time, the thing was held in his hand.

It was a copper-cast round shield with a little golden color. The surface of the copper cast was vaguely patterned like snake scales. The round shield had a diamond pattern on the top, bottom, left and right sides. In the center of the shield, there was a bronze-cast woman's avatar. The snake hair grew from the avatar with an extremely painful expression extended to the surroundings of the shield.

Elizabeth fired without hesitation, and the metal balls scattered in speed were blocked by the shield held in front of Salomon. The deformed bullets splashed with Mars and did not knock out any depressions on the copper shield. She fired another shot, but the result was still the same. Even the kinetic energy included with the shotgun could not make Salomon take a step back.

This is Egs (Αiγίς), an Aegis, a sheepskin shield, and a Medusa shield. No matter what alias this shield has or what kind of legends it has, its most powerful thing is Medusa's head. Since it was cut off by Perseus and inlaid by Athena on the shield, this shield has extremely powerful power. Whoever sees this shield will turn into a fossil.

Salomon snapped his fingers, four bright white light balls surrounded the shield, and he lowered his head and silently recited the spell Athena taught him in his heart.

In a place where he couldn't see, the head of Medusa, with a painful expression, suddenly opened the originally closed eyes. The eyes were still fresh and flesh and blood. With a few slight sounds of the collision of the bronze ware, the snake's hair also broke free from the bondage of the copper shield, spreading freely, and spewing venom.

He heard screams and heard the sound of names, including Victoria's shouting Barnabas, Elizabeth's shouting Caroline, and Caroline's shouting David, all kinds of voices intertwined. But soon the shouting stopped. But Salomon still lowered his head and was unmoved. After a while, he put down his shield.

Four extremely delicate stone statues stood in the darkness, with lifelike fear and disbelief on their faces. Victoria wanted to pounce on Salomon, Elizabeth stood in front of her daughter Caroline, and Caroline pushed David aside, wanting to keep him away from here.

But no matter what they do, as long as they see Medusa's head on the shield, they will be irreversibly petrified, including their clothes and even guns, which are within the range of petrification.

This is an almost irreversible process.

This is different from petrification. Even if the spell "relieve magic", it is difficult to relieve their state. Unless it is the Supreme Mage or Athena casts the spell, they will always be stone statues.

This is more appropriate than a curse than a petrification.

When Salomon took out the shield, he hesitated for a while - the Collins family did not make any mistakes, they just wanted to protect their families. Is this really appropriate? But in the end he made up his mind to lift the shield in front of the Collins family, because they were now blocking his target.

It is hard to say that Salomon's thoughts were not affected by the memories in the holy marks. While accepting the memories, those cold thoughts were also affected all the time, changing him, prompting him to decide on certain things and pull him from the greenhouse to the bloody battlefield.

For example, now, when he was attacked by other people from the Corinthian family, he abandoned the idea of ​​not implicating them, and as long as they stood in their way to their goal, he would also take a hostile attitude.

In the past, the Venerable once told him that he had to pay a price to go on this path. At that time, he thought that these costs could be avoided with spell casting materials, but now he understood that the so-called costs did not refer to matter, just like the old wizard who saved the girl mentioned by the Venerable, he used his life to save lives.

This is the simplest and most brutal price. As the object of the Venerable's key education, Salomon will give up more things.

So, what is the price I paid? Salomon thought, is it conscience? Or empathy?

When he wanted to explain it to himself, he found that no matter how he explained it, he was extremely pale and powerless.

You know, his behavior can be explained in certain circumstances as a magician fighting evil vampires.

After all, Barnabas did kill innocent people just to get blood, and the Collins family was the guy who helped the evil. But he himself didn't believe this kind of thing - vampires should indeed be punished. This is his attitude from Kama Taj's standpoint, but the rest of the Collins family are innocent people.

For example, David, he is still a shy big child.

This is a typical moral dilemma.

In the past, Salomon could still hold his cell phone and stand on the dry shore and point fingers, but when he was really facing this situation, Salomon found that this was probably the most difficult thing in the world, because no matter how he made a choice, he was wrong.

To eliminate vampires, one must attack the Collins family and give up eliminating vampires, which is contrary to his position.

But since he made a decision, there was no room for regret. Now, he just wanted to hear what the Venerable thought about this matter. The Supreme Master who had lived for a thousand years had definitely encountered such a thing more than once. She could definitely give a perfect answer and could definitely solve his doubts.

"This is what you did." A cold voice rang beside Salomon, "Are they dead?"

Salomon quickly dropped his messy thoughts and turned to the source of the voice. "Yes." He nodded expressionlessly, "I did it all."

"Why!" The vampire who tried to maintain a tone at any time finally couldn't control his anger. Barnabas's face had only recovered part of it, and his cheeks were still bloody and bloody at this time, and there were some scorch marks in the cold flesh. The previous fist with positive energy caused him great damage, which also burned Barnabas's eyes to death.

Before this, Barnabas almost lost consciousness until his eyes were fully regenerated and he heard Victoria's shouting, he barely ran out of the house that had not been affected by the fire and appeared here.

Salomon did not answer. But after a few deep breaths, the vampire returned to calm.

"Everything I did was for the Collins family, but you destroyed it." The vampire opened his arms and said, "Now, you can destroy me, raise the shield! Take this as your great achievement! Hang this medal on your chest! I will laugh at you, Salomon, you forever, don't think, forget, remember! The unbeliever!"
