315 Miscalculation (1/2)

Vampires were known to be the second fastest intelligent creatures. The first were, undoubtedly, the dragons.

The Mages, with Wind Soaring, could only fly 35 meters per second, and around 126 kilometers per hour, which was very fast in this world where transportation was inconvenient, although the spell was flawed in that it cost tremendous magic power and required a day of rest for two hours of flight.

The bat form of the vampires was much better. They could fly 50 meters per second, or 180 kilometers an hour. More importantly, the bat form was just one of their many shapes and did not consume anything. They could fly for a whole day as long as they had enough stamina.

While the dragons were faster than them, the dragons were too big and had a low acceleration, and they were not as agile as the bat form of vampires at low altitude.

Therefore, vampires were all very confident about aerial warfare.

But Edmund was completely dumbfounded at this point. All the little bats' eyes and mouths were wide open.

What was this thing which was crashing into him at an unbelievable speed with a bolt of lightning in each hand and a magic shield?

How could a human being fly so fast?

It took him only a short moment to think, but during that short moment, Edmund had sensed a sharp pain in his soul.

The human being that was emitting blue light, in the midst of whistling wind, passed right through his bats.

After a collision, blood and meat burst out like raindrops, leaving a human-shaped hollow with outstretched arms on the cloud of bats.

Then, this blue shadow was swallowed by a spatial bubble after it penetrated through the blood, before it was spurted upward. It then took a curve and swirled back.

Gravity could not be completely upset even though this was a magic world and he had a magic shield.

The bats were stunned for quite a while. Then, they tried to fly down into the woods.

At this point, Edmund couldn't care less about who the blue Mage magnate was anymore. Having been hurt both spiritually and physically, it was impossible for him to defeat that monster above him, who was about to swoop at him again.

Run. He had to run.

Now, half of the bats were already gone. Those little creatures were flapping their wings with their best.

They were closer and closer to the woods, but the magic waves behind came even more rapidly.

Edmund exerted all his strength, and so did all his bats, but the magic waves behind him were still faster.

Looking at the woods before his eyes, Edmund knew that he didn't have enough time.

Gritting his teeth, he abandoned most of the bats, and one of the bats slipped away and flew in another direction.

Pa… Dum!

The trees were all shaking under the intense earthquake.

At the center of the crash, a crater three meters in radius and half a meter deep had appeared.

Squatting in the crater, Roland felt numb.

Though he was protected by a magic shield, the counterforce caused by the collision had consumed two thirds of his mana. If his body were as weak as it was in reality, he would've had broken bones all over.

After quite a while, he rose from the crater, only to see no enemies nearby. He secretly sighed.

He had hoped to capture this male vampire and see if he could draw back the female one.

He was quite greedy about the female vampire's ability to change a spell model.

But he did not expect the male vampire to be so smart as to escape like a gecko cutting its tail.

It was hard to kill a vampire. As long as one of the bats escaped, he would come back again after a year of rest.

Fine… I'd better find a chance later. Then Roland looked around.
