CHAPTER 502: THE LAST BOSS? (1/2)

“It’s okay, as long as both of them aren’t in danger, we can just watch from the sidelines. Still, some preparations have to be made…”

“You mean… I got it…”

Zurnalin immediately realised what I had in mind. She promptly signalled to the Assassins in secret, after which several of them disappeared into the shadows.

Up till now, the Vampire hadn’t shown any high-level minions yet. But there was no guarantee he only had lower-starred minions, so I decided to play it conservative for the moment. At the very least, there was no need for me to show my hand while Nicole and Neneth were showing off their heroic side.

“Curses… just you wait!” Yelled the distraught Vampire; perhaps he wasn’t too proficient at close-quarter combat? The Lycans he had brought over were all dead thanks to Nicole and Neneth. Other than using some Blood Magic, Umbra did not seem to have much else to show. After all, he wasn’t a Vampire Overlord, who were known to have the power to control the blood within their opponents. Soon after, Umbra finally relented to the two girls’ relentless attacks and tried to flee in a cloud of bats.

However, that was exactly what I was waiting for. My lips curled into a smile. “Now!”

With the command given, ten or so Assassins suddenly emerged from the shadows, every one of them so happened to be stationed around Nicole’s battlefield. Umbra’s bats were completely surrounded. From every one of their fingers, a thread of white, translucent webbing shot out into the air, forming a gigantic spider web across the horizon…

“Bring it in.” On my signal, the spider web made entirely of mana descended from the skies, easily snagging all the fleeing bats.

As the mass of bats slowly congregated into a struggling mass, Umbra emerged once more, looking a lot more haggard than before.

“Blasted Dark Elves… why are you interfering in my business with the Humans…”

As of right now, his body was entangled within the half-translucent web. It was conjured with the aid of ten Dark Elves who were all at least Seven-star; based on his strength alone, there was no way he could escape.

“Interfering? If you had just let us go from the start, would all this have happened? Bet you never thought you would get caught, did you?” I sneered at him. “Why would I not have a backup plan after knowing that you can transform into bats to escape?”

Umbra’s actions till now had been very contradictory in my eyes. What was he even up to? The only thing I managed to discern was that he wanted a rift to form between Nicole and those villagers, and if possible, have her murder them. But so what if she killed them? Based on his words, this wasn’t the first time they had tried this tactic on a Demon Hunter. Why then?
