CHAPTER 515: EPILOGUE 6 (2/2)

Yet for Ferti’nier, who was more amused than threatened as she stood at that same exact spot from the very beginning, she merely snapped her fingers nonchalantly. The fiery pit below instantly disappeared, replaced by over a hundred humanoid shadows rushing at the Overlord Death Knight.

However, the Overlord Death Knight wasn’t fazed by the sudden attack. He continued focusing on his forging while the Overlord Lich took this opportunity to send aid from his own Territory. His wraiths and Ferti’nier’s own shadows quickly clashed with each other. Being both denizens of the dark and incorporeal, there was suddenly this strange sense of competitiveness between the minions.

In truth, however, Ferti’nier could have summoned more shadows if she wanted to. But it had been so long since she got to play. Naturally, she wasn’t going to let her opponents get defeated by her so easily. Her opponents, even now, did not realise that she was still going easy on them, especially with how they seemed to be able to trade blows evenly.

Lest one forgot, Ferti’nier was not only dealing with the Overlord Lich and the Overlord Death Knight, the shadows she had summoned some time ago were still delaying the spirit wolves summoned by the Overlord Werewolf. In spite of that, she showed no signs of struggling at all.

Yet as Aques Lumen peered at the multi-front battle going on between them, he couldn’t help but wonder to himself. Whose side was she really on? Was she an ally? But she clearly attacked him just now. An enemy, then? But she’s clearly helping him now. The truth was that the answer did not matter. At the very least, three of the four Overlords had been delayed by her. There was just that Overlord Vampire to deal with. Time to get serious.

Amidst all that, he still had to worry about the other Demon Hunters he brought along with him. Thanks to Nicole’s signal, he knew that they would be dealing with a lot of enemies. That was why he not only brought the elites of the Demon Hunters, he also recruited some mercenaries as well. He was afraid for Nicole’s safety, so he rushed to the battlefield first. It shouldn’t be long before the experts he brought along arrived.

The problem was that these experts were just Eight-star at best. In the eyes of an Overlord, they weren’t even a threat. Naturally, that wasn’t to say that a single Overlord could take on a hundred Eight-stars. But an ordinary Overlord was still able to easily fend off eight, or even nine Eight-stars.

In order to avoid any casualties amongst his reinforcements, Aques Lumen knew he mustn’t hesitate any longer. Thus he gripped down hard on his sheath sword and rapidly retreated…

Opponent seemingly on the run, the Overlord Vampire clearly wasn’t going to allow that to happen. However, the moment he tried to catch up with the Demon Hunter in order to prevent him from deploying his Territory, a serpentine shadow creeped up from behind him and bound him. Unable to react in time, the Overlord Vampire was stuck fast. Yet that was about the extent of Ferti’nier’s interference. After all, it wasn’t her plan to deal with this Vampire, else he would be dead already.

Unfortunately, the Overlord Vampire had no way of knowing this. His first thought, upon seeing this lone serpentine shadow, was that his other three allies were pressuring Ferti’nier hard.

A foolish thought, to be sure. Why would she even interfere in this fight if she was truly in dire straits?

“Even now you wish to protect this Human? Just you wait. Once I’m done with him, I’m going to drain you of all your blood. I don’t think I’ve had a Fallen Angel’s blood yet…” The Overlord Vampire promptly shattered the serpentine shadow upon declaring so. He then rushed at Aques Lumen. At the same time, he cut his own wrists and scattered the blood in front of him.

“Face your baptism of blood, mortal!”

Territory: Blood River!

Previously, the amount of blood scattered in front of him was at most a liter. Yet the moment he deployed his Territory, the blood expanded several times over. Rather, it multiplied, to be exact. With the scattered blood as its core, the blood began to coalesce into a blood pool!
