Up in the air, Vlad couldn't help feeling a little gloomy as he watched the Players who weren't giving up and were even baring their fangs at him.
Were humans actually such a stubborn species? It didn't feel that way before …
"If that Tigerman's attack hadn't interrupted my awakening, these lowly creatures … I wouldn't have awakened my ancient bloodline if I had known."
Vlad gritted his teeth as he watched the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, who had been transported far away by the Players to avoid the stray bullets on the battlefield but was still haunted by the curse.
Huge spears of light and unusual black serpentine flames shot towards him from below. Having ascertained that either of them could hurt him, Vlad had no choice but to block them with his blood cloud or evade them himself.
"Damn it!"
Vlad glared miserably at the culprits: a youth who wielded an unusual wand that was brimming with unusual power, and a little girl whose body was emanating some divine power.
Vlad had noticed that the two were clearly not on the same level as the other humans since the very beginning.
In fact, Gou Dan's AWM didn't lose out to the two, but he was still hiding in the rubble, waiting for the best opportunity to strike. Moreover, Joe's combat ability was higher than Edward's in melee combat, but Vlad didn't give the Players the chance to engage in melee combat after he emerged from the sarcophagus, which was why Joe, a Spirit Swordsman, could only watch helplessly.
He had been harassed by the Players who he viewed as ants ever since he awoke, and he was starting to get serious. He had thought that he could crush the humans who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, but he had only managed to kill a handful of them after much effort …
Feeling that nothing was going his way, Vlad's blood pressure rose to the brim. Without much thought, he raised his hand to summon several bolts of lightning at Edward and Eleena who dared to attack him, only to be blocked by Eleena, who was already prepared and raised her sacred shield.
Almost at the same time, the weapons of the other Holy Lancers shone with dazzling radiance as well.
Then, those radiances turned into powerful cannons enhanced by mana!
But this time, Vlad only had two targets. It took less than two seconds for the lightning to strike, and the moment the blood cloud reverted to its original state, he had regained the ability to move freely!
Hence, he simply shook the crystallized blood appendage behind his back and easily evaded the Players' Third Seal Release: Range of Truth, which they had been preparing for a long time!
The Players showed regretful and frustrated expressions at the sight. Even they knew that there was only one chance for such an ambush — Vlad would definitely be more vigilant next time, and it wouldn't be as useful as this time.
He was actually forced to this point by the ants in his eyes, and he almost fell into their trap!
Judging from the Mana and Divine Power contained in the bombardment, if he were to receive so much damage at once, even though it was unlikely that he would die instantly, he would definitely be severely injured. He might not even be able to move freely for a period of time.
There were many ways to deal with a Night Demon that could not move freely, and the most common way was to directly seal it …
"You guys have indeed exceeded my expectations. Feel honored, I've changed my mind!" Vlad bellowed in the skies. "I won't let you die so easily — I'll torture you all to death!"
There was a flash of a cold smile on his face as he stared at Edward, who was hiding behind the Holy Shield, who was clearly being commanded by the Players. "You think you're safe hiding behind that thing? If lightning doesn't work, I'll use wind! "
As if conducting an orchestra, he spread his hands and gestured a few times, and two massive tornadoes unfurled from the blood cloud behind him, their spiraling vents directly engulfing Edward and Eleena!
Unlike the lightning, the blood tornadoes were a continuous damage output move. They did not vanish at once after hitting Eleena's Holy Shield, but instead accelerated and whirled like a drill, dealing tons of damage to the Holy Shield.
In just a few seconds, cracks visible to the naked eye appeared on the Holy Shield's light curtain.
"We can't hold it anymore." Eleena briefly explained the terrible situation to Edward, and then took the time to stuff a lollipop into her mouth, trying to recover her mana.
"Damn it. I didn't expect him to recover his mobility so quickly …" Edward was a little unsettled.
Taking a deep breath, he directed the mana in his body and prepared himself mentally. While the newbie Players relied on the Skill System or something similar to unleash their skills, the elite Players had learned the energy flowing in their bodies after using their skills hundreds of times, just as they were familiar with the spell model (or something similar) to construct their skills.
Most first-rate Players had a common understanding: not using the Skill System and using their own will to construct and unleash their skills would speed up their casting, improve their agility, and even reduce their cooldowns.
Right now, with their all-out strategy failing, they could only brace themselves and continue.
The two intertwining blood tornadoes eventually shattered the Holy Shield and reached them.
Edward raised his scepter and was about to cast a spell when he realized that even though he was at the center of the tornado and could see the frightening wall of wind nearby, his surroundings were unusually calm.
'Could this be the eye of the storm?' Edward suddenly thought, having listened to the rich wood elves' descriptions of tornadoes back in Trinia. 33m.33xs
But in the very next split second, a black shadow had already appeared before him.
Even without using his eyes to confirm it, the scent of blood that was wafting at Edward's face was enough for him to be certain that it was the Revived Nightstalker, who had been attacked at close range before!
"Evil King Firelord …"
Edward quickly began to unleash his skills, but the Nightstalker was faster than him.
The Revived Nightstalker reached out and clutched Edward's neck, strangling his voice and lifting him up gently.
"You're the leader of those humans, aren't you?" Vlad's lips parted in a horrifying smile, revealing canines that were longer and sharper than humans. "I wonder what their faces would be when they suddenly realize that their leader has become my Blood Thrall!"
