Chapter 167 [Bonus chapter] Planned Ambush

Rafael had always killed the witches mercilessly. He had never cared if they were men, women or kids.

If he would die, they would be able to live freely again. They would be able to gain everything they have lost. He did not know how the war had started but he could end it with just one arrow.

His pupils dilated when he remembered all those cries he had suffered thorough by losing his family and members of the coven.

His eyes shone and the arrow that was lying on his feet started floating in the air.

Even if someone would see it, they would not doubt him. He was a human for them not a witcher.

The arrow started floating when slowly it pointed towards Rafael. It started trembling as the will of its master was not yet strong.

But he clenched his hands and focused. Soon the arrow danced with the air and flew towards Rafael who was still busy in facing so many attacks at once.

He had his back towards the arrow when he felt something coming towards him but if he tried to check, he would be attacked by more than a dozen arrows.

He could not even blink since his hands were moving constantly to cut all those arrows and shoot the knights. Five of them were already shot and fell on the ground but there were still more than seven of them left.

And other knights were taking the place of the attacking knights. It was a well planned ambush. The preparator already knew the time and path of their arrival. There was no way that it was just a mere confidence.

And the fact they were all wearing the uniform of knights, the emperor was not even trying to hide his intentions. Was he so sure that he could get rid of Rafael just because he found a little amount of Bellarium!

“To think that I am so easy to deal with! Aren’t you taking the power of lord too lightly??” The knights who were outnumbered felt frightened even when they were winning when they heard his cold words with that dark and sinister look in his eyes.

The witcher clenched his hands and waved them, the arrow that was still waiting just a second ago went straight to his nape.

But before he could touch it, a dagger cut it in half and his eyes met with the cold eyes of the woman who should be resting in the carriage.

She turned to him and his whole body trembled. The thought that she would hate him and try to kill him made him restless and his mind already started to form excuses to save his image. His head lowered to hide his eyes as he muttered an apology but the girl just sneered as she looked at him with a piercing look.

“You! I thought you were going to help Rafael! Why are you standing there like a fool? Could you not see the attack of the knights? Go and kill them. It is the order of your mistress!” more than relieved, the witcher blinked and his eyes once again turned green,

“I.. I was scared for a minute. I apologize for my carelessness! I will go now.” he nodded as he took out both daggers and leapt into the air but was stopped as Rafael leapt into the air surprising her.

“Do not kill them. It would be a waste of food.” licking his lips with his tongue, he leapt towards the rest of the six knights, shocking Hazel who ran behind him.

“Wait! What are you doing!” this dumb vampire. Did he know that his strength would not work if Beryllium touched him?

He would be like them, frail and weak. Then he would be easy to kill. But her scolding fell on deaf ears. Rafeal had already reached the knights that were also barehanded.

He stared deep into the eyes of the knight standing in front of him and licked his lips again. All he could see was red veins flowing with blood.

Looking at his darker eyes that were glowing, the knight took a step back but it was already too late.

Rafael held the knight and pulled him closer before attacking his neck. He started sucking all the blood off his body that soon made his face paler.

He tried to struggle but his frail attempts were nothing in front of Rafael. It only forced him to suck the blood faster that made the struggle of the knight weaker and soon his fighting capacity was gone.

Other knights who were too shocked to react came back to his senses when Rafael let go of the body of the knight which fell on the body without any life left in it.

With a predatory smirk on his face, he jumped in front of another one. His reflexes and agility was unparalleled that the knights were not able to notice when and how he moved.

They tried to move their swords into the air to attack him but it was a failed attempt.

He had already gotten hold of other knights as if a person was enjoying the feast laid in front of them.

His sharp fangs pierced his neck too and soon the metallic taste started to fill his mouth. He started savoring the blood he had gotten after long when he felt a knight behind his back.

The knight had already taken out his sword and was trying to attack him. But before he could move even an inch closer. He held the sword from his bare hands and snatched it from the knights as if an old man was snatching candy from a toddler.

The action did not take any effort. The eyes of the knight widened as he was not expecting the vampire who was busy in having a meal to be this alert.

Before he could take a step back, Rafael’s hand tightened around his neck and he was raised higher into the air.

“Att.. track eve..ryone.. At on.. Ce!”
