Chapter 231

Kathe, Serulis, Shia, and Nia launched their ferocious attack on the Vampire Lord.

The Terminus Icicle attack I had unleashed had caused them to become half-froze, and there was no way that they could match their attackers.

They went down one after another.

While Nia was still young, she supported Serulis and Nia, occasionally dealing the final blow.

Grulf had had his tail between his legs until a moment ago, but he now had his fangs in a Lord’s neck.

I took a supporting role myself.

This included shooting magic arrows at any Vampire Lords that tried to attack Kathe and Serulis from behind.

As they were more powerful than usual, the arrows easily blew off the heads of the Lords.

And I wouldn’t allow them to turn into mist either. I slashed at them with the Devil King Sword.

“They’re still coming…”

The vampires continued to appear from the magic circle.

Still, most of the new vampires looked shocked when they saw what was happening on this side.

And that was to our advantage. I immediately shot them down with magic arrows.

“I will help too!”

Luchila said as she began to shoot out magic bullets.

It seemed that she had been watching my technique, and targeted vampires that were fresh out of the gate.

And they were quite powerful bullets as well. They would be able to take down an Arch Vampire in one shot.

But Luchila couldn’t take down a Lord in one shot. Still, they flinched, giving the others an opening to attack.

“HYAAAHHH!!!”

“TAAAHHH!!”

“Hmph!”

Shia, Nia, and Serulis never missed an opportunity. They expertly cut off the heads.

Now, all of the vampires that had been frozen in the beginning were dead.

Still, Grulf continued to fight bravely. He held them down with his claws and buried his fangs into their flesh.

Kathe rose into the sky where she could get a better view.

And then she would attack the vampire who came out of the magic circle. She used her claws and wind magic to shred them to pieces.

The vampires were also quite quick to change tactics.

With the exception of the ones held down by Grulf, they started to flee.

It was probably the right thing for them to do.

“They’re transforming! Don’t let them get away!”

I shouted once again.

The vampires tried to transform, even while Luchila’s bullets blew their heads off.

Kathe’s claws opened large holes in their bodies, and yet they still tried to turn into frogs and bats.

It would be bad if the transformation was completed.

That went without saying. A normal sword would no longer be effective once they turned into mist.

And so I did not let a single bat escape. Still, there were many frogs and bats, and they were all small.

“Cock-a-doodle-dooooo!!”

Lord Gerberga let out a loud cry from inside my jacket.

In a flash, several vampires that had been trying to escape now turned into ash.

“Lord Gerberga. Thank you.”

“Cluck-cluck.”

Lord Gerbera clucked with a note of smugness in his voice.

And then he poked his head out and looked around.

He repeated his deadly cry every time he saw a vampire that was trying to transform.

When battling against powerful vampires that could transform, having Lord Gerberga was a huge advantage.

I stood behind everyone. While fighting, I wanted to see if anyone needed help.

Kathe had been strong from the beginning. But the others had grown a lot since I first met them.

And while it had not been that fast, Kathe had become stronger as well.

Even Lord Gerberga’s deathly cry seemed to be stronger than it had been before.

They were a reliable group.

It happened just as the total number of vampires we killed reached 50.

A large vampire with incredible dark energy appeared.

Luchila immediately shot the vampire with a magic bullet, but it just burst on his face.

“What does this mean?”

The vampire glared at us as if it was nothing.

“It hit him square in the face…”

“Leave that guy to me. Luchila, you take the weaker ones.”

“Yes. Of course!”

While Luchila was shocked, she quickly pulled herself together and obeyed my order.

Aside from the large vampire, there were other new ones coming in.

Shia, Kathe, and Grulf took care of them.

Luchila focused on ambushing the newcomers while also offering support.

I kept everyone in my sight as I talked to the giant vampire.

“I’m glad that your plan failed.”

I smiled provocatively. But the vampire didn’t look at me.

His expression was full of suspicion as he scanned the field.

The battle was as vicious as ever. And it was also clearly going in our favor.

“Why isn’t it destroyed? Where are we?”

“Did you really think your stupid plan would work?”

“Bastard. Tell me what happened and I will spare your life.”

Apparently, he wanted information from me.

I had drawn information from enemies before, but had never had them try to draw it from me.

It was a new sensation.

“Know your place, bat. We have the advantage here. Why would I tell you anything?”

“Hmph. In that case, I’ll just have to turn the tide, won’t I?”

As he said this, the vampire came charging towards me.
