BXBX NOVEL Chapter 336 Magic
Shiron was certainly not a large city, but the large industrial buildings made it quite interesting to fight there.
This was especially the case if someone knew the territory well.
The Undying Group spread out in the city as they retreated and Sven moved backward to take cover behind one of the few skyscrapers that were located near the entrance of the city.
He and the young man with the telepathy ability were brought to the city by Yvonne before she returned to the battlefield. Sven’s eyes were glowing as he used one of his new active abilities [Bird’s-eye View]. It increased his eyesight tremendously and it allowed him to see a large area and assess their current situation easily.
Thus, Sven looked at the entire battlefield from high above as if he was looking at a map. [Bird’s-eye View] strained his mind a lot but Sven ignored this because he was the only one in their group, who could direct everyone to move and attack or hide to the best of their advantage.
The Vampires were stronger than the Undying group but with Sven’s detailed orders, it was possible for them to fight against the Vampires.
Their casualties were low, while the number of Vampires, who succumbed to Sven’s devilish strategies, died like flies.
From a total number of 300 Gold Tier-1 monsters, only 200 were left alive, while the number of Vampires dwindled to less than 1200. This was a tremendous achievement for the humans after the first clash that occurred between the four Vampire Clans and the Undying group.
Unfortunately, the Vampire Clans had chosen to throw aside their pride and work together. This was necessary for them to come out victorious, and they realized this, if only a bit late.
While everyone in the Undying group moved backward, the majority of them remained on the main street or nearby. The main battlefield was chosen by the Undying group and the Vampires only followed suit.
The Vampire families understood that Dilan and Victoria were their biggest threats. Yvonne and Kathrine had great teamwork, and they were the next biggest threat.
As for everyone else, they either survived barely by trusting their colleagues or by joining forces to attack the Vampires. This had been more than enough before but since the Undying group chose to split up, their death was the inevitable result of their actions.
Wanting to take revenge, the Vampire clans spread out their forces evenly, while focusing the vast majority on the main street in the city. Dilan stood in front of the Undying group’s main army, like the commander he was. He didn’t charge forward mindlessly and he allowed his body to recuperate rapidly.
He had already used his Origin ability’s sub ability [Burst Regeneration] to prepare himself physically for the next clash.
“Is everyone ready? It will get a bit chaotic soon!” Dilan asked quietly, but his voice traveled through the rows of Ascenders nonetheless, charging them up with energy.
Everyone was afraid to die as some of their comrades had. However, they could also gauge that the Vampires would never leave them alive. Whether Dilan was in possession of the Sanctum keys or not, the four Vampire clans that the Ascenders were currently facing would have become their opponents sooner or later.
The scent of death lingered on their corpses, which Yvonne could sense with much more intensity than anyone else.
“If we don’t kill all of them today, they will come back in the future, and they will kill us just like the hundreds of thousands of humans they’ve killed before!” She revealed the harrowing reality to everyone.
Nobody doubted her words and even those Ascenders, who had frowned upon Dilan for forcing everyone into a war they didn’t want to fight, began to realize that it was better for them to be in war now rather than in a few months when the Vampires would have grown even stronger than they currently were.
Right now, they still had a chance against the Vampires but that may not be the case in the future. Some humans had already grown accustomed to getting a bit lazy and relaxed instead of giving their utmost efforts to become stronger, even if it would strain them just a bit.
Only when the news of the first Tier-2 monster and the attack of the Vampires reached them did all Ascenders return their focus on becoming stronger.
Life was not as simple as it had been in the past, and strength determined everything.
This was something everyone should have already understood by now. Unfortunately, there were more than enough dense humans in Dilan’s group who had lived under the cushion of safety he had provided. They didn’t want to accept reality even if everyone believed that they had already understood it.
However, they changed their opinion more often than some people could change their underwear in recent times. And this made things a lot more difficult.
“We will kill all of them today, don’t worry. Just prepare yourself for the rumble,” Dilan assured his people as he stepped forward, he swung Balzaki to his right with all his might and created an air fissure that dug deep in the concrete next to him.
This formed a small grin on his face and his expression turned ecstatic when he saw that all of the Tier-2 Vampires and the most powerful Tier-1 Vampires had appeared right in front of him.
There was no sight of any of the Gold Tier-1 monsters the Likar family controlled which further brightened Dilan’s smile.
“Looks like the Likar Clans are trying to flank us after killing the groups of Ascenders, who spread out …just like you were hoping for, Sven!” He mumbled as a burst of adrenaline shot through his body.
Dilan was still angered that some of his Ascenders had been killed, while others had nearly been drained of their entire blood right in front of him. However, he also understood that it was necessary for him to keep a calm mind.
Activating [Berserk Mana] right now may allow him to kill everyone but it would be detrimental to himself as well. He could tell that for sure. His body was not able to endure the Berserk Mana in certain situations…not if he wanted to make use of all his abilities.
Rather than becoming a mindless, ferocious monster in human skin, Dilan had to be a Commander right now, a commander, who pulled his opponents into a trap they wouldn’t be able to escape!
“Victoria, go for it,” Dilan ordered and the beautiful Vampire didn’t hesitate for a single moment. She shot forward, several hundred meters in an instant before she came to an abrupt halt.
“Freeze, bitches!” Victoria screamed at the top of her lungs as she manifested a ginormous wall of ice behind all the powerful Vampires that were leading the way through the main street.
Victoria separated the vast majority of Vampires from their masters, and their strongest subordinates. This drained her of the biggest portion of her power.
The arrogant Vampires looked at the wall of Blood-Ice with a frown. They didn’t think much about it and simply shrugged at the inconvenience.
“Walk around the obstruction or break through it,” One of the noble Vampires of the Bryte family instructed and the Vampires were about to obey the command they’d received, when Dilan appeared next to Victoria, issuing his own command with a bright smile on his face.
“Everyone, use your teleportation, and beat up these idiotic Vampires,” Dilan roared as he raised Balzaki in the air.
As if on cue, every single member of the Undying group retrieved the exact same Magic Scroll from their body.
They activated it at once to manifest a magic circle below their feet.
And as if true magic was at work, all the Ascenders, except Dilan disappeared from the powerful Vampires’ sight.
“Don’t look at us like that. Did you think that you guys are the only ones with Magic Scrolls? Interesting thought…but quite dumb, no offense!” Dilan chuckled lightly as he reveled in the gobsmacked expressions of the Vampires. They were fuming in anger, because even the groups of Ascenders, which the Likar family had been hunting, disappeared all at once.
And all of them reappeared on top of the large industrial buildings that were located on the sides of the main street, faraway from the reach of the Vampires that were on the ground.
Close to 1200 Ascenders appeared above the Vampires. They were standing on top of the building and looked down at the Vampires, who had been separated from their leaders by the huge Blood-Ice wall that Victoria had created.
All of a sudden, a second Blood-Ice wall was manifested behind the last batch of Vampires, while the side alleys were blocked by Various elemental walls of other Ascenders.
Victoria sweated profusely but her expression was overflowing with excitement as she looked down at her own brethren. With a satisfied smirk, as she saw Dilan order the Ascenders,
“Release the daggers!”
