Chapter 313: 313

Chapter 313 Again

The carriages moved on to their destination . The road conditions were very bad . After a whole night of storms, the road became muddy and ragged .

At first, Roland had flattened the road with Mud to Stone, but as they approached their destination, their speed dropped because Roland ran out of mana .

Differently from the competition with the female vampire the previous night, repairing the road on a large scale was much more costly . Metaphorically speaking, he had sprinkled water with a tiny pipe last night but was unleashing it with a hydrant at this point .

Looking at his mana, down to its last third, and then at the bumpy road ahead, Roland gave up .

They might as well take their time .

Supposedly, the destination was only forty kilometers away, but they only covered thirty kilometers after five hours .

They had to take a rest in a wood next to the road .

When they stepped out of the carriages and onto the wet ground, their boots filled with mud . Uncomfortable as the magic apprentices were, they were patient enough to scout the environment .

Confirming that there were no anomalies, Jerry dried the ground where they were resting with fire spells .

Then, they arranged the carriages in a circle and built a shelter in the same way they did last night . Then, they dug a pit and started a fire .

After they were done, Roland built an enormous wall around them with his remaining power to protect them .

The wall Roland built could block the rain, and it seemed unnecessary for the magic apprentices to build the shelter, but Roland still wanted them to do it .

After all, it was homework and had to be done . These students still had a lot to learn .

Looking at his mana that had been fully consumed, Roland gritted his teeth and put on the mana regeneration equipment from his system backpack .

Immediately, he became blue and shining .

The coachmen dared not look at him, and the magic apprentices were full of envy .

Andonara’s eyes were full of passion, and little red hearts seemed to be popping up around her .

Roland, on the other hand, was quite awkward .

But he didn’t have a choice . By his estimation, the vampire would come again tonight . The books he read in the library all mentioned that vampires could be vindictive .

The female vampire had been tricked by him for a whole night . If he were her, he would’ve been pissed too .

But he had to trick her . It was not like he could let her break into the tent and go on a killing spree .

The magic apprentices began to eat, and Roland ate beef jerky .

They took a rest after having food . This time, the ground was dry, so the apprentices paved the ground and lay down .

They didn’t sleep well the previous night, and they had been on shaking carriages all day . They were all exhausted .

Very soon, the magic apprentices were sound asleep .

Andonara was sitting right behind Roland . While having food, she asked slowly, “Was the enemy last night good?”

“Kind of . ” Roland nodded .

The magic apprentices and Andonara had been in the rock tent and had no idea what happened outside .

Before they came out in the morning, Roland had sunken whatever was left of the three dead mercenaries into a swamp and turned the swamp to stone .

Therefore, the magic apprentices only knew that something dangerous happened, but they didn’t know what it was .

“Then it’s time for me to play my part . ” Andonara shook her fair hands before Roland and said, “I’m a Master Great Swordsman . Few people in Hollevin can compare to me . ”

“It was a vampire . ”

After a brief shock, Andonara was disappointed . “Well, they’re quite tricky . ”

The Great Swordsmen were strong, fast, and capable of area skills .

But the problem was that, as dark magic creatures, vampires could fly, change into bats, or even turn into mist . The Great Swordsmen were only adept at physical attacks and could hardly deal with them, unless they had weapons enchanted with Soul Damage .

The three kinds of spellcasters were the real experts in dealing with dark magic creatures .

They chatted in low voices to not disturb the others .

Very soon, Andonara yawned too .

Roland said to her, “You take a rest . I’ll keep watch . ”

Andonara nodded .

She knew he didn’t need sleep, so she didn’t argue with him and simply lay down on a blanket next to Roland .

Very soon, she fell asleep .

Roland, on the other hand, opened the forums again .

He had deployed three magic spiders to the trees nearby to monitor the surroundings .

About two hours later, Roland quit the forums as the spiders sent pictures to him .

Differently from the previous night, it was quite lovely tonight .

The round silver moon was shining, illuminating the woods since few clouds were in the sky .

Then, a bunch of black bats, which seemed to have flown out of the moon, hovered around the shelter and turned into a woman .

The spider sent her image to Roland . It was indeed the woman from last night .

This time, she was not wearing a black dress, but a red one .

Her delicate, smooth shoulders vaguely reflecting the moonlight .

Why is this woman so fond of off-the-shoulder dresses? Roland mumbled inside the tent .

The woman looked at the rock tent and smiled too .

The vampires’ noses were as keen as those of werewolves .

She had tracked Roland’s team by smell even though it had been a whole day .

She felt that the person inside the rock tent understood her, and for that understanding, she would not kill them, but would let them go after insulting them .

It was her mercy toward an equal .

Then, she pointed at the rock tent, and the magic counterattack came two seconds later .

The woman laughed even more delightedly . With her big red dress, she was almost like a rose spirit .

Like the previous night, the stone softened and hardened again and again .

But the woman was not as desperate as she was the previous night . Gradually, she began to enjoy the competition .

Also, she was no longer obsessed with a fixed area . Instead, she flew around the rock tent and pointed randomly, putting vague colorful squares on the wall .

Then, those colorful squares quickly returned to their original color .

Giggling, the woman “drew” a flower on the tent, then the flower was gone .

She drew a rabbit, then the rabbit was gone too .

She hadn’t had such fun for hundreds of years, and she was more and more amused . She was about to draw a dragon, when she suddenly stopped and looked back at the moon with a cold smile .

Very soon, another group of bats approached in the moonlight . They croaked and turned into a man before her .

The man had black hair, blue eyes, and a long, thin face . He was handsome, but seemed grim and creepy .
