There were a lot of bats…

Within the Warlock’s Eyes’ field of vision, there was pitch-black flock of bats flying out from behind the hillside, which looked like a thundercloud coming before a storm.

This nightmarish scene made Lin Li’s mouth wide open. This was not a joke! Every bat was a Vampire, and there were at least a hundred of them in this pitch-black patch. This also meant that more than 100 Vampires were waiting for them!

“This is too much of a joke…” In an instant, Lin Li felt that his mind was blank.

“So… So many?” At this time, Adelo started to panic as well. His face immediately turned pale when he looked at the flock of pitch-black bats, and beads of sweat the size of beans started to trickle down his forehead.

Vampires were in the Scar of Death. They had a terrifying speed like spirits, and were naturally proficient in all sorts of Dark Magic, causing them to be born with strength of at least level-10. Furthermore, one could not forget this was the Scar of Death, the Scar of Death that Gloomy Dark was lying in the depths of. Under the influence of Gloomy Dark’s power, even Skeletal Warriors could reach level-eight. What about Vampires that were much more powerful than Skeletal Warriors? Duh.

This was just a tragic ending…

They had expanded a Herculean effort, and even used a Ironback Blue Wolf Summoning Scroll that was worth 20,000 gold coins before they finally escaped from the Skeletal Warriors’ encirclement. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, they had encountered more than a hundred Vampires. Was there anything more ironic in this world than this?

If they’d known it was going to turn out this way, they would’ve rather fought it out with the Skeletal Warriors…

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now. Just when everyone was dumbfounded, a few bats already descended from the sky. A black fog rose up, and instantly transformed into the shape of a Vampire with a pale face and razor sharp claws.

The Vampires were emitting a thick scent of blood from their bodies. They arched their bodies and gave out a low roar as though they were starving wolves. Lin Li knew that they were completely different from Norfeller—even though Norfeller was a Vampire, he had retained perfect memory and soul. Furthermore, he had formed a blood oath with Lin Li, making him not any different from a real human. As for those in front of them, they were totally Undead creatures. They had no thoughts nor consciousness, and only knew slaughter and destruction. The only thing that could control them was Gloomy Dark that was hidden within the depths of the Scar of Death.

The number of bats descending from the sky grew. In the midst of the black fog, there were bats transforming into the figures of Vampires, while the scent of blood in the surroundings grew thicker and thicker. In the blink of an eye, those Vampires had blocked off the escape route of the advance party.

Everything happened so quickly that n.o.body could react to it. The two high-level Warriors had just drawn their weapons when a large group of Vampires charged over. The razor-sharp claws tore the air, and the sizzling sound of the air being ripped apart were like venomous snakes swimming when heard. The strength of the Vampires was on a whole new level when compared to the Skeletal Warriors that were on the other side of the hill, and the high-level Warriors that could originally sweep through hundreds of Skeletal Warriors single-handedly were now out of breath when entangled by more than ten Vampires. The Combat Energy that was protecting their bodies could not defend against the Vampires’ razor-sharp claws. In just an instant, the two high-level Warriors had slashes all over their bodies.

What was more frightening was that these Vampires did not attack blindly. At the same time when more than 10 Vampires were holding up the two high-level Warriors, even more Vampires used their speed to rush over. After that, those razor-sharp claws scattered the entire advance party. Almost every member of the advance party was surrounded by more than 10 Vampires. It was especially so for those two mages that had weak physically strength—they were surrounded by even more Vampires.

“F*ck, are you guys not embarra.s.sed?” Lin Li was almost driven mad. It was as though these Vampires had taken stimulants and were risking their lives. A very thick ice wall was erected, yet they charged over without any hesitation. After that, they used their razor-sharp claws to tear open a pathway through the ice wall.

Li Li continued reciting and desperately strengthening the shaky and crumbling ice wall, but under the constraints of the spell’s cooldown, the speed of strengthening the wall could not keep up with the Vampires’ destruction thereof. In mere moments, the thick ice wall was battered.

However, Lin Li’s situation was not the worst. Reggie, Johnathan, and the rest had it worse. Bandits were not a profession that excelled in direct combat, plus Vampires naturally had the speed of spirits. Although they were incomparable to Norfeller, it was more than sufficient when dealing with a few level-15 Bandits. In a series of sneak attacks, three out of four of the Bandits had suffered heavy injuries. Only Reggie was left, desperately holding on…

Even level-15 Bandits were in this plight, so there was no need to mention a level-14 Warrior. From the start of the battle, Johnathan could barely hold back a few, but the number of Vampires around him grew. This level-14 warrior was soon forced into a corner.

Other than them, Adelo was not having a great time, either. A large group of Vampires held him back, and the spells that required recitation could not be cast at all. At this time, Adelo really thought that he was going to die. Even though he had the power of a level-17 Archmage, he could not use it at all. There were too many of these d.a.m.ned Vampires. Without the cover of the two high-level Warriors, Adelo could not stop fighting to start reciting. He could only continuously use instantaneously cast low-level spells and hope that it could delay his opponents till the two high-level Warriors came back to rescue him.

Unfortunately, Adelo did not receive the high-level Warriors’ a.s.sistance. Instead, he received an attack to his back by razor-sharp claws…

In the moment that Adelo had cast a Flaming Storm, a Vampire had already sneaked up to his back. With a “tchh”, razor-sharp claws pierced through Adelo’s body. In an instant, there was warm blood spewing everywhere. After that, this Vampire pounced over just like a hunting dog that caught its prey, and using the powerful momentum, it pushed Adelo to the ground.
