Chapter 418 - Werewolves' Victory

For now, let's watch how the fight continues.

I can see everything, so I will explain one by one.

Let's see… there are three battles going on. Shelia against the vampire duke boy, Jack against the vampire duke, and the rest of the werewolves and the vampires.

For now, about the werewolves and the vampires.

It was not easy for the werewolves, but they slowly but surely gained advantages, and started killing the vampires. Once several of them were defeated, it was obvious which side will win.

Although the vampires said that they need to retreat, they were unable to because of the werewolves.

Since that side was done, I don't need to explain any more about that, right?

Next is Jack against the vampire lord.

That vampire looks to be the oldest among the vampires. Though I don't know if he's really the oldest or not. But at least I know his status is higher than most of them. And seems like the only one with higher status is the vampire duke boy.

That vampire lord looks about as old as Grandpa Werewolf. But he's much weaker, so I guess his age should be less than Grandpa Werewolf when he died.

And because Jack has improved a lot ever since then, he is just slightly weaker than Grandpa Werewolf when I killed him. At least that's what I thought.

But their strength seems to be evenly matched. That vampire lord must have drunk a lot of blood himself before. That's why they are evenly matched.

If it's me, I can easily defeat that old vampire. It will be even easier if I can trick him. But for now, Jack is the one fighting. It's rare for him to find an equal match after getting so strong. As for Shelia, she's already way stronger than him. Probably even stronger than Grandpa Werewolf when I fought him.

That old vampire realizes that he's evenly matched with Jack, so he tried to suck Jack's blood to get stronger. Obviously, Jack didn't allow him to. Though each time he shed blood, that old vampire will try to get that blood into his mouth. Seems like just a little bit of blood can still make him stronger.

I learned a lot about vampires today. This way, in case their reinforcement arrives, I can expect what they can do. Though I want to see if they can use magic or not.

Oh? They can use magic! And it's to use the blood they drunk and used it to create an object they can use. And in this case, that old vampire is using blood to creates a sword.

"You're much stronger than expected, little puppy. Although I used quite a lot of blood for this sword, there's no way for you to win. You should have let us retreat if you want to live, puppy!" the old vampire said to Jack.

That seems to be a provocation toward Jack. But Jack is already used to spar with me during this last few month, so he's used to provocation worse than that.

"If you want to provoke me, you should have done better than that! I have fought with a much stronger swordsman than you, so it's you who is at disadvantage!" Jack said.

Is the one he called a stronger swordsman is me? I'll give him a reward later. Probably a sack of dog food. Nah, a sack filled with chicken nuggets for him. But the sack will be smaller than the sack for dog food. I will let him choose.

With the old vampire got weaker after creating the blood sword, Jack should have gotten the upper hand. But the old vampire's swordsmanship was better than mine. Though if I fought him, I can overpower him with brute strength. But it seems like watching him using sword can teach me something.

Even though Victoria is a swordswoman, because she lacks the strength, she can't show everything she knows to me. That's why watching a good swordsman fighting will only help me improve.

"Roy, look at how he wields the sword. It was as if the sword is weightless," Victoria said.

"As for you, you can literally change the weight of the sword. And your sword is really part of your body," I said.

"I'm talking about sword skill and not Black Slime's racial skill. Just watch and learn. Though I think Jack will still be the winner in the end," Victoria said.

I agree with her. Although my skill is not as good as the old vampire, he is weaker and slower than me. Once Jack is used to the old vampire's skill, it will be done in an instant.

And just as I expected, when the old vampire swung his sword, Jack parried the sword by using his claws on the side of the blade.

After losing his balance, Jack clawed the heart of the vampire out and eat it. I know that he's a monster, but I don't expect him to eat the heart of a vampire. I only know him as a werewolf who loves fried chicken and chicken nugget.

I hope he won't get used to the taste of raw food again like before he met me.

"Don't worry, my king. Cooked meals are more delicious," Jack said.

Then why did you eat his heart?

At the same time, Shelia is still fighting the vampire duke boy. And that vampire boy is about as strong as Grandpa Werewolf.

"Shelia! He's about as strong as Grandpa Werewolf!" I shouted.

"Really? That's good. Now that I have become stronger, I want to see if I can beat grandpa or not," Shelia said.

"You are not strong enough to defeat me!" the vampire boy said.

This vampire boy's blood magic is much better than the old vampire. Because he only used very little amount of blood to create two daggers which he held in each hand. It's dual-wielding vampire now.

Maybe I can meet other vampire that use spears or other types of weapon as well. Though if they are hostile, I don't want to meet them. But since they will be here anyway because Angela hasn't finished yet, I'll just watch how the vampire boy fight.

It's claws against daggers. And two weapons, if I can say that claws are weapons, are clashing.

It might look like the vampire boy is stronger. But Shelia is better in fighting.

Shelia is in her werewolf form with her tail out, and as she blocked the daggers, she parries them and did a spin. While doing so, she makes sure that her tail will hit the boy, and it did.

Although it's just a tail, it's still strong enough to get the vampire boy lose his balance. And Shelia used that chance to claw at the boy again. But the vampire boy is fast enough to react as he dodges, and throw a counter. In which Shelia has no choice but to block it. And the strength difference makes her take three steps backward.

I can see well that Shelia has more experience in fighting than the vampire boy. Probably because although the boy is strong, he let his subordinate do the fighting instead. That's why he lacked experience. But his current strength means that the difference won't be too much.

Seeing that he has no advantage fighting on the ground, he lets out blood wing appears on his back. The wings are red and it flaps as the boy flew. And Shelia who can run on air, won't let him get away.

"So, vampire can fly as well, huh?" I said.

"Alright. What else is the same characteristic with the fictional version of vampires in my world," Victoria said.

…let's ignore her.

The two are fighting in the sky now. And the sound of clashes between daggers and claws can be heard. Some vampires and werewolves who were fighting stopped to see what's going on. But the werewolves reacted quickly and kill the stopped vampires.

As they fight, Shelia got used to the boy's strength and slashed her claws at his unprotected arm. Severing his right arm from the body.

Weirdly enough, the boy didn't react much. Other than the fact that there's a string of blood connecting the severed limb to the body.

The boy smiled, as it turns out that he can manipulate the severed arm as long as the blood string is connecting it with his body.

The severed arm, with dagger still in its grip, is stabbing Shelia from the back. Shelia notices too late as she's unable to dodge, but she was quick enough to not get hit in the vital as she slightly leaned her body sideway. That way, the dagger stabbed on her shoulder instead of her vital.

But Shelia is smart. The moment the dagger is stabbing her shoulder, she knows that the boy will let down his guard at that moment. And in that exact moment, Shelia is already had her other hand prepared to slash the boy with full power.

As the boy smiled, he realized that Shelia is still attacking. He had not time at all to dodge, and his body is severed into pieces. But he didn't die yet.

"Urgh… please don't kill me," the boy said.

I approached the boy, and checked why he's still alive even though his head is away from his body. Is it because of his blood magic?

"How are you still alive?" I asked.

"It's his heart. It's still beating," Shelia said.

She notices that? I look at the separated chest of the boy and see his heart is beating indeed.

That mean the only way to kill them is by destroying the heart, huh? Is that why Jack ate the heart of the old vampire?

Does it mean he knows that the only way to kill vampire, or at least the stronger vampire, is to destroy their heart?  Did he learn that by instinct?

I guess monsters are still monsters.

Shelia then stepped on the heart and destroys it. Killing the vampire boy instantly.

The morale of the surviving vampires dropped as the werewolves easily defeat them.

With this we have protected Angela for three days. But there's no sign of her coming out at all.

I guess we will continue protecting her for a few more days.
