Chapter 471 Reinforcement
*Bam* *Booom* Series of explosions are heard inside the enclosed meeting room. All the furniture in the room was already torn and destroyed. Despite this, the wall room is still intact and no one is coming inside the elder meeting room.
Yawan already noticed this weird phenomenon from the start. He speculates Darren did something before revealing himself. However, Darren didn’t let him do something about it. He even couldn’t get a breath or make a strong attack on it.
Still, he also notices Darren’s projection was not having his whole strength and speed like when he attacked before. If Yawan receives that kind of concentrated mana attack, he will need a lot of time to regenerate himself, which is a bad thing in this fast-paced battle.
“It seems your projection couldn’t use 100% of your power.” said Yawan as he deflected Darren’s onslaught.
“It is more than enough to beat the shit of you!!” replied Darren, once again launching an attack on Yawan’s eyes.
Since the start of their battle, Darren has been obsessed with attacking and gouging his eyes. Yawan wasn’t surprised at this since he dared to ‘look’ at his master blatantly.
While deflecting Darren’s attack, Yawan is also surprised that Vlad can fend off the remaining three elders. The last three elders are not ordinary sixth-grade combatants but those that reach pseudo-seventh grade level.
The pseudo-seventh grade is a level where someone can fight against the seventh grade, even just for a moment. Basically, their combat level is already almost reaching seventh-grade level, but they are still unable to break through because of many factors.
Even Yawan himself couldn’t fight against these three elders at the same time. Yet, the Ancestor Vampire named Vlad deflects and parries their attack without receiving any single wound, only using his blood sword.
“Hmm… Is that all?!” taunted Vlad while dodging another fist attack with his attack.
Since Altras can manipulate their body and flesh, they are famous when it comes to frontal battles. Using their body, they can launch powerful physical attacks. Yet, Vlad can still redirect the force easily as the fist hits his sword.
Suddenly, Vlad feels a large amount of mana from his behind. An elder covered in rough pale white suddenly becomes bigger and recklessly hits Vlad with his surroundings [Diamond Crush].
*BAAMM* The shockwave spread around the room and pushed everyone besides the elders on the top of the Blood Impale.
“Did Jojin get him?” asked Elder Razi.
“I am not sure about that. The vampire is famous for having many life-saving abilities.” replied Elder Tedar.
*Sprruutt* Suddenly, they saw a large amount of blood sprouting from the Vlad location.
“Urghh!!” groaned Elder Jojin as he took a distance from the Vampire.
The two elders are surprised to see Jojin losing a massive chunk of meat on his body and two arms.
‘Impossible!! Jojin’s [Diamond Crush] is imbued with a large amount of earth elements. How could he cut it easily?!’ thought Elder Tedar.
p
The three elders didn’t know how Vlad could break Jojin’s bone skin and earth elemental combination, but they knew Vlad was a dangerous opponent. Moreover, they are also certain the room is completely sealed with a strong enchantment barrier.
Otherwise, the entire room already broke a long time ago from Darren and Yawan’s clash. They also find Vlad is very expert at using swords. His sword skill is so ridiculous that he could even deflect Razi’s strong fist with a small amount of power.
“Razi, Jojin, buy me some time. I will try to release the others from that blood spike.” said Elder Teldar telepathically.
Hearing this, both Razi and Jojin immediately rush towards Vlad again. However, Vlad completely ignores them.
“Oii… Darren, stop playing around. I still need to hunt some rats.” shouted Vlad ignoring the incoming attack.
“Tch… Fine.” replied Darren shortly.
Suddenly, Darren takes a distance from Yawan and claps his hand [6th Circle – Mass Exchange]. A bright circle appeared below Vlad and covered his surroundings. Seeing this, Yawan tries to stop Darren’s spell.
However, he underestimated Darren’s ridiculous casting speed. In less than a second, his spell is already complete. Elder Jojin and Razi are suddenly getting hit by an unknown attack. *BAM* *BAM*
Yawan also notices a swift attack coming from the spell’s direction and decides to stop his attack. *BOOOM* a large shockwave appeared from his previous spot. He finds a gigantic humanoid being appearing in front of Darren.
At the same time, three humanoid beings appear in front of Vlad while all the blood and Jojin’s flesh are gone. One is a tall person bandaged all over his body with a long sword attached to his two arms.
The next one is a woman with an icy blue dress holding a staff and skull in both hands. The last one is a brown-skinned man holding a spear and various weapons in his body.
“Just this?! Hey… It is a lump of concentrated mana meat. At least summon another two or three more.” complained Vlad after seeing the three humanoids in front of him.
“Shut up, Vlad. Did you think it is easy for me to call more in this restricted dimension? This is the maximum I could do.” replied Darren while glaring at Yawan.
At the same time, the three elders and Yawan are entirely rooted on their spot. Since the arrival of the four strange humanoid beings, they know the situation has turned. They could feel all the expressionless humanoids in front of them had the power of at least sixth grade.
Noticing the lack of expression and life in the four humanoid beings, “An Undead?!” exclaimed Yawan.
“Huff… You know what. Not only did you look at the Master with those eyes, but you also couldn’t appreciate my art. Fine, let’s see how long you can keep regenerating those eyes and that stupid brain.” said Darren before the gigantic humanoid in front of him charged at Yawan.
While Darren fights against the Altras’ elder, Angus’ group is hopeless inside the Twilbo Forest. Their task is to catch one hundred red-striped rabbits in a week. It is not an impossible test but also not easy either.
They had already wandered the misty forest for hours yet still couldn’t find any single rabbit beside the hidden beast/monster waiting to sneak attack them. Even the calm and controlled Angus feels like burning the whole forest to find the damn rabbit.
He knows the red-striped rabbit is not only a cautious creature but has sharp hearing. It will avoid anything that tries to get close to it. This is one of the reasons it is hard to catch even by experienced fifth-grade hunters.
Angus also recalls one of their adult-size meat could even sell for up to 1 thousand gold coins which is an enormous amount of money for a non-beast creature. While they keep searching for the hiding rabbit, Anna and Mira are playing around like walking in the park.
The two girls keep running around and touching anything that interests them. Fortunately, Anna is still sensible and does not run too far away from them. She keeps the rope on her body to avoid getting lost in this thick mist.
The mist is still as thick as when they came here a few days ago. They also notice a few people screaming and the beast roaring from somewhere behind them. However, Angus, Jayna, and Aunt Extalia ignore it as they know it comes from the stalker or spy.
“Angus.. Hurry, come here!!” called Anna excitedly from their front.
Angus and the others immediately follow Anna’s sound and find a familiar gigantic plant. They find an enormous elephant-shaped plant with many trunk sides in every direction. Moreover, they also see the two girls are actually only a meter away from the plant.
“See, Mira. This is a funny plant that could make you fly away.” told Anna to her friend.
“Fly?” asked Mira while tilting her head.
“Anna, Mira, go back here!! It’s dangerous.” called Jayna worriedly as she remembered the terrible sound and airwave it could produce.
The air wave is too strong that could easily throw a few royal guards despite their fast reaction to cover their bodies with mana. Unfortunately, the little troublemaker is too preoccupied talking with her friend and doesn’t notice Jayna’s warning.
“Yeah… It could release BOOO!!” said Anna while shouting at the plant.
Reacting to Anna’s shout, the plant trembles and releases a thunderous sound along with very strong airwaves. *BOOOOO* Fortunately, Aunt Extalia is ready and immediately grabs the two little girls before hiding in the hole Angus creates on the ground.
Although the airwave will not hurt the two little girls, it will be another hassle if they lose each other again in this misty forest. Suddenly grabbed by Aunt Extalia, the two girls were surprised but didn’t resist.
After entering the hole, Aunt Extalia releases the two girls and waits until the airwave is gone. Being released by her, Anna stayed silent and didn’t have her playful nature as usual. She even behaves weirdly while fidgeting around.
