49 Chapter 49: Meeting the enemy 3

The elderly man's eye twitched in pain while he retreated by a step, his eyes drifted from the hand which was obviously soaked in vervain and then shifted to the charming green-eyed young man whose white hair fluttered in the wind. The only two natural tools which could harm or potentially kill a vampire are wooden stakes and vervain. This vervain is a rare plant that can only be found on mountain tops, but after the appearance of vampires, the holy church found a way to bring back this plant and cultivate it in this kingdom. In fact, rumor has it that all branches of the holy church in every town in the Gyro kingdom have a garden where rare herbs like vervain and wolves bane which are used to fight supernatural beasts are been cultivated. The only reason the salvor family moved to this part of the Kingdom was that vervain has never been sighted in this little town and there is no way his informant can be wrong. Even if the informant is wrong, the knowledge of the special plant is only known by a few individuals especially since the church prefers to hoard important information, how did this man get his hands on such a rare plant?

[wait… Did he just say… Francis!!! The intermediate silver level nature mage!!!] The elderly man gasped in fear when the remembered the name.

Even before his family moved into this town, he had heard of the name Francis over and over again. Especially since its an incredible feat for someone to make it to Silver level adventurer, that just tells how strong such a man is. Even now, the Kingdom of Gyro had less than a thousand silver mage and this is a country that had millions of citizens. The only thing is that the elderly man has never seen the face of this sorcerer, barely twenty people can boast of been lucky enough to see the face of such a talented individual.

"Im-po-ss-ib-le!!!…" The elderly man stuttered in fear as he spoke. As a vampire who has lived for over two centuries, he was confident of crushing the Lockwood's, should they decide to attack them tonight. This old man was hoping these wolves would attack him but now this nature mage is in the picture, even if they win this battle, there will be a lot of casualties on their side.

"I'm truly grateful for your invitation, master Lockwood but my family has some important business to attend to… we will be leaving first" The middle-aged man from the Lockwood family stepped forward and spoke

Aiding the elderly man of the salvor family, all seven of them hastily walked towards the exit which caught the attention of almost everyone at the party. Some brave and courageous noble men and women approached them since this may be the only opportunity they may have, they tried to pour out their feelings but they were quickly turned down and shoved aside, this is the first time their life has actually been threatened every since they arrived in this little town

"An unknown enemy is the most dangerous of them all… we need to retreat, who knew the Lockwood's had a silver level solo adventurer working for them?... curse those dogs!!!" The elder muttered when they exited the castle. Not choosing to run in order not to arouse suspicion, these vampires walked towards the gate which was about 50 meters away from the castle only to meet the white-haired man who wore a casual smile on his face. Turning around, they saw all four members of the Lockwood family casually walking towards them with triumphant smiles on their faces. Seeing three pairs of yellow eyes, one pair of blue eyes and one pair of crimson red eyes which burned the brightest in the darkness, the calm expression on the faces of these vampires vanished. Slowly, one after the other well-armed men and women bearing the Lockwood family logo approached from all sides, this team of guards was over fifty comprising of a few battle mages, oracles, and normal fighters comprising of guardian knights, archers and a hand full of assassins. Soon all seven members of the salvor family comprising of an elder who looked like he was in his late 70's, a middle-aged man and woman in their late 40's and four teenagers comprising of three boys and a girl were surrounded and all escape routes had been blocked

"Are you all truly planning to attack with this many people around?... you will expose your family secret to the nobles of this town Lockwoods!!!!" The middle-aged man growled

"Do you think my family is that reckless?" Rolan laughed

"Take a look yourselves if you don't believe him, I believe you have good eyes" Lucas chuckled as he spoke to the elderly man.

The elderly man frowned slightly and turned his attention to the castle which was over 50 meters away and what his saw made him frown slightly. He could see vines and a strange pink flower everywhere in the grand hall, from it some sort of pink gas emitted which explained why everyone laid on the ground unconscious.

"It's one of the basic spells which we nature mages learn… although it's usually used on a small scale…" Francis laughed

The elderly man laughed as well, his eyes turned blood red as he walked towards Francis casually with a confident smile

"Excellent… I must confess I didn't expect this little wolf pack to be so resourceful and cunning… I will give you that… but if this is the best your family can do then I'm disappointed, Scott Lockwood… relying on bronze level soldiers to fight your battles for you! You are just sending these soldiers to their graves!" The elderly man laughed

"Humph! Don't get too cocky old man…" Scott said indifferently with a smile on his face which revealed his fangs "Why do you think I chose to fight your family today! At night? Don't tell me you actually think you bloodsuckers are the only ones who enjoy operating at night" He said

Instantly the smile on the face of this elderly man crumbled, everything finally started making sense

[why did this wolf pack wish to battle them at night? Wouldn't it have been easier if they fought during the day time?]

This was the question this elderly man kept asking themselves and now it has been answered. Looking up into the sky what this man saw was a full moon, his gaze quickly drifted back to the Lockwood's and Derik who now emitted an aura more savage and dangerous than what they have been emitting just a while ago which even made all 50 guards take a few steps back.

"Old man! Allow me to show you the true power of an alpha!" Scott said as he walked towards the Lockwood family. His body size instantly doubles, ripping his shit apart and his skin turned black. Twisting and turning in pain, bone breakings sounds could be heard but the young alpha still wore a charming smile on his face, which soon faded when he finally stood on all fours. Thick black fur covered this man's skin and his blood-red eyes glowed, the expression on the face of the members of this ancient vampire family soon turned ugly, as this is the first time they have encountered an alpha in his true form
