Chapter 243 - Vampires Are Very Lean (1/2)
The black electric balls circled around the skeleton soldiers. Under the cover of night, they looked very conspicuous.
After falling from the sky, Giovanni’s vampire subordinates had just pulled themselves out of the sand. Although it did not cause any harm to the vampires, it was very embarrassing for the vampires who claimed to be nobles.
Especially when they saw that the demon opposite them actually wanted to use a group of low-level skeleton soldiers to deal with them, these vampires became even more furious!
They no longer cared about Giovanni’s orders. They jumped up, stretched out their sharp claws, bared their fangs, and roared as they pounced at the nearest skeleton soldiers. They wanted to destroy these skeleton soldiers as quickly as possible so that the demon would realize how ridiculous his behavior was…
“Wait… wait!” Giovanni hurriedly tried to stop them, but it was too late. The vampires were already fighting the skeleton soldiers. They used their sharp claws to block the blades of the skeleton soldiers and easily broke these rusted blades with their strong grips. Then they dug their claws into the skeleton soldiers’ chests and pinched their spines in the cavities. With violent force, they immediately crushed the skeleton soldiers into two pieces.
Against the weakest skeleton soldiers, high-level undead such as vampires would crush them like dried twigs.
However, before they could find their next opponent, the Lightning Shield on the skeleton soldiers turned around and touched the vampires…
Sizzle. The power contained in the black electric balls suddenly erupted, and black lightning instantly covered the bodies of the vampires. The vampires at the front let out blood-curdling screams in unison. Their entire bodies became motionless, then they slowly fell to their knees and fell straight to the ground.
These vampires that collapsed were all charred black.
They were not dead yet. Roy’s Dark Lightning was distributed on so many skeleton soldiers and inevitably dispersed the magic power. So the power of the black lightning naturally decreased a lot and was not enough to kill these vampires directly. But the sudden burst of high temperature scorched the bodies of the vampires until they were charred, causing them to lose their combat strength instantly. They could only lie on the ground and rely on their recovery ability to recover slowly. As soon as the battle began, hundreds of vampires fell down, but their opponents were merely a group of skeleton soldiers that they could shatter with a single claw. This shocked the vampires who had not rushed forward, and their cloaks almost shook off.
Roy’s Lightning Shield was not a commonly seen air spell in Ashen because this spell might injure allies. Roy had only seen it in one of the magic books brought out from Ulambus. The other magic books did not have any records of it, and this spell was not even recorded. Roy could use it because lightning was already his source magic.
Moreover, if not for the fact that his troops were like cannon fodder and had no intelligence, Roy would not have chosen to use this spell. However, judging from the battle situation, the effect of this spell was unexpectedly good…
“Damn… damn it! Don’t go near them!” Giovanni saw his collapsed subordinates and stomped his feet in anger. He drew the vampire sword on his waist and shouted, “Attack with weapons!”
After hearing Giovanni’s command, the vampires drew their swords one after another and used the length of their weapons as a safe distance to attack the skeleton soldiers.
This time, the skeleton soldiers began to be quickly eliminated and turned into broken bones. Although there were a few unlucky vampires who accidentally let their sword tips touch the electric balls of the Lightning Shield, causing them to be electrocuted and collapse, this was only a small number. The vampires quickly gained the upper hand.
As expected, the skeleton soldiers are still too weak! Roy thought when he saw this scene. Skeletons are indeed only suitable to play the skeleton sea tactics…
Although Roy had this thought, he still began to chant according to a magic incantation from a book.
After a short chant, Roy waved his arm gently. Magic light marks appeared on his sharp claws, and another spell took shape.
