CHAPTER 516: EPILOGUE 7 (2/2)
“Hah. A scrawny coward like you wants to challenge the mighty Werewolves?”
“Stop standing so close to me already, foolish dog. It’s an insult just breathing in the same air as you. And could you do something about that awful odor coming off your fur?” Having said that, the Overlord Vampire retrieved a white handkerchief and covered his nose.
“You’re really asking for it, aren’t you?”
The Overlord Werewolf raised his claws as if ready to strike once more. The Overlord Vampire took up a combat stance as well. In the blink of an eye, the Overlord Werewolf and Overlord Vampire were suddenly at each other’s throats, both glaring at each other as if they were only waiting for a reason to rip each other apart.
Aques Lumen couldn’t help but chuckle quietly to himself. This was the exact result he was looking for when sent that Vampire flying into the Werewolf. Given that both parties were so willing to cooperate with his machinations, he was more than happy to stand aside and reap the benefits after.
At the same time as the two rivals were threatening to have a go at each other, the Death Knight’s new weapon had just taken shape. It was a nearly two meter long, double-edged halberd. His first move was to ram straight at the shadows duking it out with the spirit wolves. With a mighty swing, he passed through the Werewolf’s spirit wolves and hacked the strange shadows summoned by Ferti’nier, hitting all of them in an arc!
Cleaved, the shadows immediately disintegrated into a pile of black goo that ultimately flowed back into Ferti’nier’s Territory. As for what the identity of this goo was, it was a mote of pure Darkness element… In other words, the Death Knight’s halberd had not only the ability to harm elemental constructs, but also had the frightening ability to pass through allies without causing harm!
Every Territory had its own quirk; there was no better proof of this than that Death Knight’s Unique Territory. His Territory was able to forge weapons on demand, but at the end of the day, this forging was also related to summoning. He bent the laws of the world to summon countless souls to power his actual forging, so one could say his Territory also exhibited traits of a Summoning Territory. A walking, tailor-made, armory of equipment – a perfect fit for a Death Knight like him!
Even so, the fact that both the Lich and the Death Knight were premier Overlords of the fifty meter tier, together, they still couldn’t hold a candle to Ferti’nier. Even those defeated shadows were defeated only with her permission. She allowed them to meld back into her Territory, simply because she was intrigued by Aques Lumen’s Territory. Naturally, this was seen by her enemies as a sign of weakness that she was finally cracking under the pressure of the Lich and Death Knight.
“Will you two stop arguing, we still have a battle to fight!” The Overlord Lich yelled in an annoyed voice. The fact that they were supposedly winning and yet those two loggerheads were trying to ruin it by fighting each other was incomprehensible to him. “Settle your opponent first, and if you are alive then, you can settle this feud after.”
The Lich was speaking the truth, though some of his assumptions were a little suspect. It did not make sense to tear at each other’s’ throats while there was still an enemy lurking about. Besides, the Lich was stronger than the both of them combined, so if even his words did not make sense, they had to comply.
“Together now, we will finish him off right this instant!” The Overlord Vampire roared triumphantly, clearly under the same mistaken assumption that Ferti’nier was somehow on the verge of breaking. Like the Lich said, they could settle their feud later…
“AWOOO!” Ever the forthright one, the Overlord Werewolf immediately leapt into battle the moment that Vampire suggested they work together.
Still half-submerged in his blood pool, the Overlord Vampire kept close distance with his companion, firing off blood daggers at Aques Lumen at the same time. Just like the blood pool, these daggers had a powerful corrosive effect that could easily dissolve anyone under Five-star. Even Overlord would not get off unscathed should these land a hit.
However, Aques Lumen merely maintained his cool, erecting a barrier to block off the daggers. With that plan to distract him foiled, the Overlord Vampire sped up further, in hopes of getting rid of this pesky Demon Hunter who had the gall to embarrass him.
