Chapter 238 - The Attack (2/2)
Evan smiled and said, ”Something interesting, looks like we didn't come to this banquet for nothing. Malespera, be careful. If someone attacks you, try to kill them, no matter what it costs you. I need you alive.”
”Okay.” Malespera simply replied, and ignoring what was going on, she continued sampling a variety of snacks.
Most of the vampires attacked Viscount Pol and his daughter. Many mages tried to protect them, including Aimee, she was one of Viscount's guards.
But, apart from them, battles were fought all over the banquet hall. The vampires took advantage of the element of surprise and stealthily killed many of the mages. Moreover, they were agile and fast enough to dodge all attacks and kill their enemies quickly.
Evan hadn't taken any action yet, he was assessing the situation.
<Hmm, vampires aren't powerful either, I haven't noticed any so far that are at the Two-Pointed Star stage. What do vampires want with Viscount? Maybe I should help him to strengthen my relationship with him. Then, I should wait a little longer and enter the fray at the very last moment.>
Evan didn't know much about vampires. All he knew was that they were considered a race and were a hybrid between human and monster. Because of their large population, ancient history, and similar appearance to humans, it was decided to call them a separate race rather than just monsters. But, Evan had no more information about vampires.
<Maybe I should help the vampires? No, that wouldn't make any sense. In that case, I would have to flee from Vextin and not know if I can trust these creatures, then it's decided>.
Only half a minute had passed since the vampires had appeared, but they had already killed half of the banquet attendees. Sure, a few vampires had been killed, but they were still in the majority. There were two vampires per person, a rather unfortunate situation.
”Hurry up and kill everyone here! We don't have much time! Soon the guards will come here, and then we won't get out of here alive!” A tall woman with long red hair said loudly. She was the leader of these vampires.
Evan used Mammon's Gaze and looked at her intently.
[Nessa Emerton
Race - Vampire
Rank - One-Pointed Star, Three Flames
Warp - Puprle]
<She's pretty strong, she might be trouble. But Viscount's guards aren't weak either. They should at least seriously wound Nessa and the other vampires.>
Evan thought as he watched the fierce battle in the center of the banquet hall.
Step.
Suddenly Evan heard someone sneaking upon him. He turned around and saw a tall man with blood-stained hands. The vampire wanted to attack Evan, but suddenly he stopped.
Evan turned and released his aura. He looked coldly at the vampire and said, ”If you take another step, I'll rip your arms off and shove them up to your ass. Go help your commander.”
Evan and the vampire were on the same page, but Evan's icy stare sent shivers down the man's spine. He swallowed and decided to avoid Evan. He was horrified by Evan's aura.
<What was that all about?! He's psycho!”> the vampire thought to himself and sprinted toward the Viscount. Their main goal was to kill the Viscount and his daughter, the rest wasn't that important.
<Huh, and he's pretty skittish, by the way, where's Malespera?>
Evan thought and looked around. He quickly found her. Malespera was fighting a vampire on stage - One-Pointed Star with no flames.
Malespera was losing. There were many scratches on her body, and trickles of blood trickled from the corners of her mouth. But, the vampire was wounded, too, even though he was two stages taller.
”Now she's unlikely to enter the Gust, she's not feeling desperate. She's mad at this vampire and wants to kill him. Too bad, there's nothing to be done about it.” Evan muttered, and his spatial ring glowed.
The Dark Reaper appeared in his hands, and Evan cast Lucifer's Shackles on top of it. The weapon became covered in tattooed stripes, and Evan flung the scythe as hard as he could at the monster.
The scythe blade flew over Malespera's head and sliced the vampire in two.
