There were really so many bats …
In the vision of the Warlock's Eyes, a black mass of bats was flying out from behind the mountain walls. At a glance, it was like the dark clouds before a storm. This nightmarish scene made Lin Li's jaw drop. This was not a joke. Every bat was equivalent to a Vampire, and there were at least a hundred of them in this black mass. This meant that there would be hundreds of Vampires waiting for them!
This is too much of a joke … Lin Li only felt that his mind was blank for a moment.
"Why … Why are there so many?" At this time, Adelo was also a little panicked. Looking at the black mass of bats in the sky, his face instantly turned pale, and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Vampires were not Skeletal Warriors. They had the terrifying speed of ghosts, and were naturally proficient in all kinds of Dark Magic. This allowed them to be born with at least level-10 strength. Furthermore, one must not forget that this was the Scar of Death — the Scar of Death where Gloomy Dark was buried. Under the influence of Gloomy Dark, even Skeletal Warriors could reach level-8, not to mention Vampires that were far stronger than Skeletal Warriors.
This was simply a tragedy …
The group of people spent a lot of effort, and even used a Steelback Blue Wolf Summoning Scroll that was worth 200,000 gold coins to finally escape from the Skeletal Warriors' encirclement. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, they would meet hundreds of Vampires again? Was there anything more ironic than this in this world?
If they had known earlier, they would have fought with the Skeletal Warriors …
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now. Just when the group of people was dumbfounded, a few bats had already descended from the sky. They could only see a cloud of black smoke rising, and in an instant, they transformed into the form of Vampires. They had pale faces, sharp claws, and a thick stench of blood emanated from their bodies.
They arched their bodies and let out low growls, just like hungry wolves. Lin Li knew that they were completely different from Norfeller. Although Norfeller was also a Vampire, he had retained his complete memory and soul. In addition to the blood oath that he had signed with Lin Li, he was no different from a real human. But these in front of them were definitely Undead creatures. They had no thoughts and consciousness, and only knew to kill and destroy. The only thing that could control them was Gloomy Dark that was buried in the depths of the Scar of Death.
More and more bats descended from the sky. In the black smoke, there were constantly bats that transformed into Vampires. The stench of blood became thicker and thicker. In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of Vampires had blocked the path of the advance party.
Everything happened so quickly that no one could react at all. Just as the two high-level Warriors raised their weapons, a large group of Vampires had already pounced on them. Their sharp claws tore through the air and made a hissing sound that sounded like poisonous snakes slithering in the ears of the people. Compared to the Skeletal Warriors on the other side of the mountain wall, the power of the Vampires was on a completely different level. Originally, the high-level Warriors could wipe out hundreds of Skeletal Warriors with their power alone. However, under the entanglement of more than a dozen Vampires, they felt suffocated. Their protective Combat Energy could not block the sharp claws of the Vampires at all. In just a short while, the bodies of the two high-level Warriors were already covered in wounds.
What was more frightening was that these Vampires did not attack blindly. While more than a dozen Vampires held back the two high-level Warriors, more Vampires used their speed to charge forward. Then, those pairs of sharp claws split the advance party apart. Almost every member of the advance party was surrounded by nearly 10 Vampires. In particular, the two mages who had the weakest physical strength were surrounded by a large number of Vampires.
"F * ck, don't you have any shame?" Lin Li was almost driven crazy. The 20-odd Vampires all seemed to have taken expired aphrodisiacs. Each of them was more reckless than the other. They pounced on the thick ice wall without hesitation, and then used their sharp claws to tear holes in the ice wall.
Lin Li chanted spells again and again, desperately trying to strengthen the crumbling ice wall. However, under the restriction of magic exhaustion, the speed of strengthening the ice wall could not keep up with the destruction of the Vampires. In just a short while, the thick ice wall was already riddled with holes.
However, Lin Li's situation was not the worst. The ones who were really in trouble were Reggie, Johnathan, and the rest. Bandits were not a profession that was good at fighting head-on, and the Vampires were born with ghost-like speed. Although they were not as fast as Norfeller, it was more than enough to deal with a few level-15 Bandits. After a few sneak attacks, three out of the four Bandits were severely injured, and only Reggie was left there struggling to hold on …
If the level-15 Bandits were already in such a state, there was no need to mention the level-14 Warriors. At the start of the battle, Johnathan was still able to resist a few attacks, but as the number of Vampires increased, this level-14 Warrior was quickly forced into a corner.
Apart from them, Adelo was not having a good time either. A large group of Vampires was surrounding him, and the magic that required chanting spells could not be used at all. At this time, Adelo really wanted to die. He had the power of a level-17 Archmage, but he could not use it at all. There were too many Vampires, and without the cover of two high-level Warriors, Adelo could not possibly stop to chant spells. He could only continuously use low-level magic instantaneously, hoping that he could hold on until the two high-level Warriors came to rescue him.
Unfortunately, Adelo did not wait for the high-level Warriors to rescue him. Instead, he waited for the sharp claws that attacked him from behind …
Just as Adelo released a Flaming Storm, a Vampire had already attacked from behind. With a "chi la" sound, the sharp claws pierced into Adelo's body. In an instant, hot blood spurted out. Following that, this Vampire pounced on Adelo like a hunting hound. Using the huge momentum, it pushed Adelo to the ground.
Then, Adelo saw two white fangs …
"It's over …" Adelo instantly felt his vision go black.
"Boom!" But just as the two fangs were about to land, a huge fireball flew from afar and landed squarely on the Vampire that was about to bite him.
The power of this fireball was shocking. A Vampire that was above level-13 was turned into a pile of ashes in an instant.
"Pyroblast!" Adelo, who was still in a state of shock, raised his head, and saw that young mage holding a magic staff and releasing huge fireballs one after another …
One, two, three, four … 10!
Looking at the fireballs that whizzed past, Adelo was completely stunned. The shock that these 10 Pyroblasts gave him was far greater than that of the two white fangs.
As an Archmage at the peak of level-17, Adelo was very clear what kind of magic Pyroblast was. The consumption of one Pyroblast was at least equivalent to that of two spells above level-17. Even with his abilities, he could only release five at most before having to stop and rest. To release 10 in one go, it would be impossible unless he had taken expired aphrodisiac …
But today, there was a young mage in his twenties who forcefully released 10 Pyroblasts right in front of him.
And it was almost instantaneous …
After temporarily breaking away from the Vampires, Adelo had enough time to observe that young mage's spell-casting. At this moment, he could clearly see that the young mage's recitation speed was definitely the fastest he had ever seen in his life. From the start to the end, there was no pause at all. A spell that was 10 seconds long actually took only five seconds to complete, and it did not sound rushed at all. It was as smooth as flowing water, with a strange yet harmonious rhythm.
The young mage held the magic staff in his hands tightly, and the complicated and mysterious recitation flowed out of his mouth like flowing water. Every word seemed to have a strange power, and the huge fireball was like the judgment of the end of the world, blasting a path of blood through the encirclement of countless Vampires …
At this moment, Adelo even thought that he was dreaming …
"Mage Adelo, are you alright?" It was only when that young mage broke through the encirclement of the Vampires and walked to Adelo's side that this Archmage who was good at disguising himself suddenly regained his senses.
"I'm … I'm fine." Adelo's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and the gaze that he looked at Lin Li also gradually became complicated.
"Looks like we really have to work together this time …" Lin Li smiled, but his expression was a little tired. While the Multicolored Potion stimulated his mental strength, it would also put his body in a state of overload. But there was no other way, as he had no other choice now. 10 Pyroblasts killing 10 Vampires seemed very perverted and violent, but looking at the surroundings, one would realize that these 10 Vampires were just a drop in the ocean, and did not affect the strength of this Vampire army at all. If he wanted to escape from so many Vampires, he had no choice but to borrow the power of the Multicolored Potion …
"I really did not think that Mage Felic's true strength was actually so strong …" Adelo looked at Lin Li with a complicated expression, and when he realized that the other party also seemed to be a little weak, he finally felt a little better. This Archmage who was good at disguising himself wishfully thought that this weakness was because of those 10 Pyroblasts …
Unfortunately, Adelo did not know that the Multicolored Potion was like this — the weaker the body, the stronger the mental strength.
"Mage Adelo, you flatter me …" As Lin Li spoke, he raised the magic staff in his hands, and erected a thick layer of Ice Wall in front of the two of them. "Alright, this Ice Wall should be able to stop those damned Vampires for a while, but it won't be long. Mage Adelo, we have to think of a solution as soon as possible."
"How do you need me to cooperate?"
When he heard this, Lin Li smiled with satisfaction. "I need you to tell the truth …"
