328 A Competition of Numbers? 3 (2/2)
Yelia vomited blood and fell on one of his knees. Then, he drank the remaining blue fluid in the container.
Though a lot of cracks were appearing on the magic shield, it did not fall apart.
In the fifth second, Yelia lost all strength and nearly fell over.
His Massive Magic Shield was finally broken.
Edmund was delighted.
But at this point, Roland threw the blue fireball in his hand, which was almost two meters in diameter, before he quickly created a rock tent with Mud to Stone, protecting himself and Yelia.
All the vampires were fixated on the fireball.
Edmund was the first to come back to himself. He shouted, ”Run!”
But there was no time.
In the darkness, the fireball emanated brilliant light like a rising sun, burning a lot of the weaker vampires into ashes.
Then followed an intense explosion. Even the air warped. Some of the vampires fell from the sky with bleeding faces.
Eventually, the red ”tsunami” caused by the explosion consumed everything.
The Dome of Darkness, like a round bubble, was blown apart by the airwaves until it cracked.
All the vampires were consumed by the blast.
The weaker of them fell from the sky as ashes, and the stronger of them had been completely blackened even though they survived.
Edmund crashed to the ground and tried to turn into bats, but he failed.
He had been too badly wounded. Besides, with fire elements all over the place, it was hard for him to communicate with dark elements.
The Dome of Darkness was broken, and the afterglow reached everybody.
Many vampires smoked and screamed when they were illuminated, but none of them died.
Different sunlight had different intensity. The afterglow could only injure the vampires' skin and was not fatal.
The rock tent was canceled, and Yelia and Roland walked out.
Yelia fell on his knees again after a couple of steps. Due to the severe mental recoil, he was too exhausted to do anything now.
Roland looked around and burned the struggling vampires into ashes with fireballs, before he collected their bone powder in his system Backpack.
Then, he walked to Edmund and kicked him into the shade of a tree.
Edmund felt much better without the afterglow and stopped screaming.
Standing before him, Roland looked down at him and demanded, ”I remember that you were crippled by me before.”
”Even the Dome of Darkness was broken by you. So, we didn't surround you; you surrounded us…” Edmund burst into crazy laughter. ”But that's fine. Lord Bruce will be exasperated that you killed thirty of my people. Later, fifty or even a hundred of my people will come back for you.”
”Bruce?” Roland was rather curious.
”Lord Bruce is a second-generation vampire and the first vampire who was transformed by the True Ancestor. You're dead for sure now that you've pissed off the Bruce family.” Edmund laughed so hard that he was spasming.
Roland was stunned.
He was reading the system notifications.
Personal main quest received: Destroy Bruce's nest and find the information on the True Master of the vampires! (Epic and nightmarish; it's recommended to recruit as many mercenaries for the quest as possible.)
”Huh?”
”You have no idea how many people the Bruce family has and how united we are. Lord Bruce will avenge us…” Edmund was still shouting crazily.
Roland shook his head. ”But you won't get to see it.”
He burnt Edmund into bone powder with a blue firepower and then packed it up.
”Besides, you think you're large in number?”
Roland immediately took a photo of his personal epic quest with the system camera and then uploaded it on the forum in a thread.
My personal epic quest. I wonder if you can trigger a chain of quests after you read this.
Roland generally described what happened in the thread.
Very soon, someone replied. After all, Roland was a celebrity, and his posts were always popular.
”Shoot. I've really triggered a quest. I'm being asked to kill vampires. For each vampire I kill, I will have two credit points. If I kill Bruce, I get fifty. If I offer Roland leads on the True Ancestor, I will have a hundred. What can credit points do?”
”Me too.”
”Me too.”
The thread soon became heated. Before long, most players would read it.
Roland smiled and clicked off the forum.
As he expected, certain special quests could be shared with other players in posts, like the main quest he had last time.
But on the other hand, what was the usage of credit points?
There was no place to exchange them in the game, and the authorities did not release any announcements, either.
That was rather mysterious.
