Looking at Edmund's twisted face, Christina shook her head helplessly.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you think you're strong because you have more people? I'm quitting. I don't want to die in such a place. "
Edmund snorted. "Christina, we invited you here because we think highly of you. Do you really think that thirty of us can't defeat a couple of Mages? It doesn't matter if you're here or not. "
"Then I wish you good luck."
Christina turned into a flock of bats and flew away from the wood.
Edmund snorted. "Coward."
Then, he turned into a flock of bats again and hung upside down on the branch.
In Liguburg City, Yelia wandered around with Lauren outside of the city with a black gem. But they didn't find any so-called dark creatures after a long time.
In other words, the gem didn't react at all.
They returned to the city in the afternoon. Hardly had they entered the city when a soldier ran to them and said, "Honorable Mage, the mayor invites you to meet him."
They looked at each other and hurried to the castle.
The moment they entered the courtyard, they saw a tied man kneeling on the grass with a few soldiers standing next to him.
Seeing Yelia, one of the soldiers walked forward and said, "Mr. Yelia, according to our investigation, this man took the dead girl out of the city last night. There are multiple eyewitnesses. "
"The city gate was closed at night. How did he take the girl out?"
"He's the son of the guard of the city gate."
So that was the case!
"The earl is not here. He must've gone to catch the girl, right?"
None of the soldiers said anything.
It was not a trivial matter that someone had opened the city gate in violation of the order. The culprit had to be investigated.
Yelia walked to the kneeling man and looked at him, before he asked, "Why did you take the girl out of the city?"
"I don't know." The kneeling man was sweating hard. "A voice kept ringing in my head, asking me to trick the girl out. At that time, I couldn't control my body anymore, so I did it."
"Then why did you come back? Or rather, what did you see? "
"There are bats in the millet forest in the west of the city. A lot of bats." The man said with a terrified expression, "A lot of bats gathered together and turned into a young man. He said he would let me go and let me bring another girl out tonight, or my head would explode! Sir Mage, can you save me? Don't let my head explode. "
"The vampire lied to you." Yelia shook his head and said to Lauren, "It's one of the vampires' best spells to charm humans. It's not as good as the succubi, but it's not far behind."
"Shall we go and take a look?" Roland looked at the sky. "It's still early. We should be able to fight them."
"Sure." Yelia snorted. "Liguburg City is my territory. Vampires or other creatures can't cause trouble here without my permission."
The two of them immediately borrowed two horses from the castle. In fact, Roland could've been faster with spatial bubbles, but on second thought, he dropped the idea. After all, he had to wait for Yelia.
When the sun was about to set, the two of them rode to the millet forest.
Yelia took out a black gem and injected magic into it. Very soon, vague purple light emanated from it and shot toward the forest.
"They're indeed here, and the reaction is very intense." Yelia's delight gradually turned solemn. "There are at least twenty dark creatures."
"That's a lot." Roland was slightly surprised, too.
Yelia said solemnly, "I think we should retreat strategically and come back after we're more prepared."
Roland nodded. "I agree."
They were about to leave, but the sky suddenly darkened. Two seconds later, it was so dark that they couldn't even see their own fingers.
Roland instantly launched five light balls, but the light balls that could illuminate a football field in the past were not very effective this time. They were still surrounded by darkness. Most of the light from the light balls seemed to have been absorbed by something, and they could only see about five meters away.
"The Curtain of Darkness! Such a large range? " Yelia exclaimed in shock. While comforting his frightened horse, he shouted, "Mr. Roland, let's go."
"There's no time." Roland quickly made up his mind and said, "Mr. Yelia, please help me block all the attacks for five seconds. Just five seconds."
At this moment, bats were flapping their wings from all directions.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh sounds like densely packed insects eating leaves.
We've been tricked … The enemy intentionally attracted us here.
The same thought flashed in both of their minds.
Yelia gritted his teeth and roared, "Five seconds, right? It's up to you whether or not we can go back alive."
Roland nodded, and a blue fireball was condensed in his palm.
Yelia took out a glass tube from his magic robe that contained a blue fluorescent liquid. He drank it without any hesitation and drank most of the liquid. Then he roared, "Massive Magic Shield!"
A magic shield that looked like a round glass cover covered the two of them.
One second passed.
A swarm of bats flew out of the darkness and took the shape of a human. More than thirty pale-skinned vampires surrounded the two of them.
Two seconds passed.
The vampires didn't waste any time. Seeing that the fireball in Roland's hand was expanding, they simply launched their spells at the two of them.
Three seconds passed.
Countless, diverse, and colorful spells bombarded the Magic Shield almost at the same time.
Layers of dense, overlapping ripples first appeared on the transparent shield, and then cracks appeared.
Four seconds passed.
The fireball in Roland's hand was almost a meter and a half tall.
More spells rained down. Edmund's hands shot out black lightning. At the same time, he roared with a ferocious expression, "Come on, kill it!"
Yelia vomited a mouthful of blood and fell on one of his knees. Then, he poured the last blue liquid in the tube into his mouth.
Although a lot of cracks had appeared on the Magic Shield, it didn't break.
Five seconds passed.
Yelia's legs buckled, and he almost fell.
The Massive Magic Shield was finally broken.
Edmund's face lit up with joy.
But exactly at this moment, Roland tossed the blue fireball that was almost two meters in diameter into the sky. Then, he created a small rock tent with Stone to Mud and Mud to Stone, covering himself and Yelia in it.
All the vampires' eyes followed the huge fireball.
Edmund was the first to realize what was going on. He roared, "Run!"
But it was too late.
In the darkness of the night, the huge fireball was like a rising sun. It first blossomed with dazzling light.
Many of the weaker vampires were instantly turned into ashes.
Then, there was an intense explosion. Even the air was twisted, and some more vampires fell from the sky, bleeding from their eyes, noses, and mouths.
In the end, the red "tide" caused by the explosion swept everything around.
The Curtain of Darkness was like a round cloth ball that was inflated by the steam wave. Finally, it shattered with a bang.
All the vampires were consumed by the steam.
The weaker ones were burnt into charcoal and fell from the sky. The stronger ones survived, but they weren't much better off.
Edmund fell to the ground. He tried to transform into a bat, but he failed.
He was too heavily wounded. Also, the whole area was filled with the residue of fire elements, and it was difficult for him to communicate with the dark elements.
The Curtain of Darkness was broken, and the setting sun illuminated them.
Many vampires were hit by the light. Green smoke rose from their bodies, and they rolled around in the clouds, screaming miserably.
But none of them died.
Sunlight had its limits too. The setting sun could only cause superficial wounds to the vampires, but it wasn't fatal.
The rock tent dispersed, and Roland and Yelia walked out of it.
Yelia fell to the ground again after a few steps. His mental recoil was too severe, and he didn't have much strength left.
Roland, on the other hand, looked around and burned the struggling vampires into ashes with fireballs. Then, he stored the bone powder in his system Backpack.
Then, he walked to Edmund and kicked him to the shade of a tree.
Without the light of the setting sun, Edmund felt much better, and finally stopped screaming.
Standing before him, Roland asked in a condescending manner, "I remember that you were the one who was crippled by me last time."
"You broke the Curtain of Darkness? So, it wasn't us who surrounded you, but you …" Edmund laughed crazily. "But it doesn't matter. There are thirty of us this time. Lord Bruce will be infuriated that you killed all of us. It won't be fifty or a hundred of us who will come for you."
"Bruce?" Roland was rather curious.
"Lord Bruce is a second-generation vampire and the first vampire transformed by the True Ancestor. You're dead for sure when you run into the Bruce family." Edmund laughed so hard that his body was cramping.
Roland was stunned.
He was looking at the system menu.
[Personal main quest received: Destroy the nest of the Bruce vampires and find information about the True Ancestor. (Epic, nightmare difficulty. Mercenaries are recommended. The more, the better.)]
Huh?
"You have no idea how many vampires there are and how united we are. Lord Bruce will avenge us …" Edmund was still shouting crazily.
Roland shook his head. "But you won't be able to see it."
He shot a blue fireball and burnt Edmund into bone powder. Then, he took it away.
"Besides, there are too many of us!"
Roland immediately went online and took a picture of his personal epic quest with the system camera. Then, he uploaded the picture and created a thread.
"Personal epic quest. I wonder if you can trigger a chain of quests after you read it."
Roland briefly explained what had happened in the post.
It didn't take long for someone to reply. After all, Roland was a celebrity, and his thread was read by many people.
"Damn it. I really triggered a quest. I'm asked to kill vampires. One of them will give me two points. Killing Bruce will give me fifty points. Giving the clues about the True Ancestor to Roland will give me a hundred points. What's the use of points? " “
"Same for me."
"Same for me."
The thread soon became a hot topic. It wouldn't take long for most players to know it.
Roland chuckled and closed the forum.
As he expected, certain special quests could be shared with other players in the form of pictures.
It was exactly like the main quest last time.
But then again, what's the use of points?
He couldn't find a way to exchange them in the game, and the authorities didn't give him any information.
It was rather mysterious.
