Chapter 422 - Greeting The Vampire King

Finally, we will face the vampires. Not just a group of vampires like before, but hundreds of them.

This feels more like a war and Albert thought that it's a good way to gain experience for the real war. That's why he sent his best agents here. Lynn and Old man Henry also did the same. While Harold doesn't have anyone to send because he has no power in the kingdom at the moment.

Including the angels and the werewolves, we have about three hundred people. About the same as the vampires. Though I have reduced their number, so we should have outnumbered them a little.

And the one acting as the commander will be Albert himself. He said that it's a good way to train for the real thing in the future.

Lynn, old man Henry, and Harold were here as well. But they won't do much.

As for me, I'll be fighting their leader. The one who saw me when I was scouting on them, and made them kill each other.

And now, I'm thinking of checking on the vampires again before the clash.

"Albert. I'll be checking on them for a while. Take care of the rest here," I said.

"Leave it to me. I'll make sure that those vampires won't reach Angela," Albert said.

"Not just that. At least don't get any of my friends killed. As for the rest, I don't really care," I said.

"Please care about them! They are our allies, you know? They will be in the frontline for the battle against the cult," Albert said.

"Sure, sure. I'm leaving now."

I ignore Albert's shouting as I ride on Spot's back toward the vampires' location.

If they have the same pace as before, they should be reaching our location in two-hour time. But when I reach that place, I didn't see any of the vampires.

When we fly even further, I finally able to see them. They are faster than before, but somehow their number increased to more than four hundred.

"Why are they increased!? Don't tell me that there are more vampires in this world other than the one I saw previously?"

"Maybe so. This mean we're the one being outnumbered, right? How will we do it? Do you want to reduce their number again?" Victoria asked.

"Not this time. I might need to save my power against their leader. He's looking this way again. Seems like he has a good pair of eyes," I said.

"Will you fight with just Reizpear and Aura to improve your special ability?"

If I could defeat him without using magic or others' help, I believe I can see better with my Divine Vision. I can see further with less energy used. But this is not just about me. I have to protect Angela and the others. So, I can't allow myself to hold back.

"I won't do that. He seems to be much stronger than I can imagine. He even brought more reinforcements with him. That's why they were late, and quicken their pace. Look. He's flying this way to greet us. Victoria, transform," I ordered Victoria to transform into a sword, while I hold Reizpear in my other hand. Spot also become wary of the flying vampire. As he stopped and float in one place without moving.

"Greetings, human, serpent, and slime. I'm the Vampire King. What can I help you with?" the vampire politely said as he is floating with his blood wings.

"Greetings. I want you and your army to leave. The previous vampires disturbed my friend's cultivation, so we had to kill them. If you don't want to reduce the population of vampire, don't approach us," I said.

"I see… so, the reason for this magic fluctuation is your friend's cultivation, isn't it?" the Vampire King said.

"That's right. Since I saw you as the previous group's reinforcement, I had to cause trouble for you," I said.

"Hmm… that is difficult. You see, I'm here because my son didn't return. I never thought that he would be killed. So, I'm thinking of revenge against you for killing my son," he said.

"And if you kill me, my friends will avenge my death. It will never be over. I guess we will have to fight until only one side remains," I said.

"I suppose you're right. Shall we start killing each other now?" the Vampire King asked.

"No. I'm out numbered. We can fight later when you got closer," I said.

"And when will we reach your friends?" the Vampire King asked again.

"It should be around three or four hours,"

"Good. I'll see you then."

The Vampire King descend slowly to where the other vampires are.

Damn, he was so calm! Even though I'm pretending to not be panic, he was so close! Does he really believe that he can win? That he can avenge his son's death?

As for his son, I think he was the one that Shelia killed. Though if he was the one that Jack killed, I would be surprised.

"What now? We return and report the others?" Spot asked.

"Soon. Spot, fire your breath attack at them. We will return after causing more trouble for them." I said.

"After provoking them, you will make them even angrier? As expected of Roy. Retreating while reducing their troops," Victoria said.

While Spot prepares to fire, I also prepared some Blobbygrenades to throw. This time, all of them are filled with killing gases. But that's not all.

When the Vampire King lets down his guard, I told Spot to fire that instant.

"Spot, now!" I ordered.

Spot's breath attack hit a lot of the vampires and they died instantly. Unable to endure his powerful breath attack.

When the Vampire King was quite far from me, he noticed that we attacked his army and turn around to face us. But before he started flying toward us, I threw all the Blobbygrenades at the vampires.

"YOU BASTARD!"

Seeing that his kind is starting to kill each other, he aimed his anger toward me. There's no longer any trace of the previously calm Vampire King. Just the face of the angry man.

Of course I'm not letting this chance go.

I transformed Victoria into a rifle, and snipe him from afar. Now that my air element has reached advanced level, the power of my Air Shot is much more powerful than when I was intermediate level.

The bullet pierced him in the chest, but he was fine because his heart is not destroyed. And he started charging at me, but I keep shooting at him instead. Stopping his charge.

I rapidly shoot the Vampire King without caring of the recoil. With my strength and my Aura, I don't need to care about the recoil as I can shoot as many times as possible without having the aim shifted. I can also shoot rapidly as well.

"I hit him all the time, but his regeneration rate is so powerful. As long as I didn't destroy his heart, he won't die. But he's protecting his heart with his hands and flying in zigzag. It's difficult to aim at his heart," I said.

If it's Sara, she has better accuracy than me. Though she needed the help of a scope so she can see far, if it's her, she should be able to aim at his heart.

Knowing that he can't get closer to me, he retreated.

"Protect me!"

He gave the order to the vampires who were not affected by my gas. And I use that chance to kill even more of them.

"Roy. More of them are coming," Spot said.

"Let's retreat when they get closer. They are not fast enough to catch your speed, right?" I said.

I shot the approaching vampires, but when there are too many of them, and they are within five meters of Spot, we retreated. Spot didn't use his full speed as I still want to kill some of them.

But down there, I see something strange other than the vampires. They are keeping pets.

"Seems like they know how to get more blood now. They are bringing their pets with them," I said.

"So they can drink their blood before the fight? That's quite smart actually," Victoria said.

"Yeah. I'll shoot the pets as well then."

Now that the Vampire King is angry, there's no way that they're going to stop. He will order the vampires to chase after us.

Now, they will use their strength to arrive earlier. But the vampires don't know that the news have reached Albert and the others.

When the Vampire King greeted us, he only greeted me, Spot, and Victoria. But he didn't see the invisible Sonia whom I brought with me. And Sonia has reported it to Albert.

And that's why when I returned, Albert is scolding me because I provoked the vampire even further.

"Why did you do that!?" Albert asked.

"Fighting angry enemies is much easier than collected enemies. It's that simple," I replied.

"Yeah, but now they will come here highly motivated to kill every single one of us!" Albert shouted.

"Albert. The vampires fight with their body. Before they can reach you, you can defeat them with magic. Did you never consider it?" I asked.

"I did. But to get some experience in a real battle, I asked expert level mages to not participate," Albert said.

"Why did you do that!?"

Now I'm the one who wants to scold him.
