Chapter 879 Provocation Before the Battle
One day later...
The group of vampires and monsters searching for Ayden's group and the others were about to hit their targets near the Valley of Lightning!
In the area, there were ten 6th stage monsters. This included 7 Beginner Archmages and 3 Intermediate Archmages. Additionally, there were 3 5th stage vampires. Among them were two Low-level Paragons and one Mid-level Paragon. With these numbers, they were almost certain to encounter their targets soon.
The strongest vampire in the area looked around with a smile on his face, opened his mouth, and taunted the enemies he was sure could hear him loud and clear.
"Show yourselves! Don't you think it's disrespectful to come so close and then run away? We should at least greet each other, shouldn't we? What type of visitors are you?" The six individuals remained in their positions, each one sensing a deceleration of time as they braced themselves for the battle that would determine their fate.
Their hearts were racing, beating so fast as they perspired more than they ever had in their entire lives.
Qiang found himself in the most challenging predicament of his life, experiencing a sense of vulnerability he hadn't felt in over 600 years. He was forced to confront opponents that instilled genuine fear within him.
Dealing with this situation was no easy task for the arrogant hippogryph.
As he stood motionless, trying to avoid drawing attention from his enemies, his eyes widened and seemed on the verge of popping out of his head.
Bonfi glanced at the hippogryph standing beside him, someone he had never truly liked or gotten along with. However, in this crucial moment, he couldn't help but lock eyes with him and raise his eyebrows, silently signaling him not to explode and jeopardize their plan.
Meanwhile, the vampires and monsters moved with increasing caution, their steps slowing down as they approached their adversaries.
With Dark Griffin leading the hunt-a formidable creature known for his exceptional investigative skills and ability to track targets through subtle clues, echo location, and keen directional sense-the group of monsters was confident that their enemies were lurking somewhere within their shrinking search area.
These creatures were on the lookout for surprise attacks as the confrontation began. They circulated their mana, prepared to attack or defend against their enemies at any
Far away from the waterfall, explosions of cannon fire erupted from the east and west, coming from the trees that the group of monsters was not targeting.
The Dark Griffin shifted his focus and spotted 11 metallic creatures attacking his group, doubting his senses for a moment.
"Did I miss something?"
As the monsters and vampires looked around, their attention was drawn to the area's surroundings. Sensing the electromagnetic attacks generated by the 11 peak 5th stage armors, each of them instinctively raised their defenses in that direction.
In that moment of distraction, Bonfi and Qiang jumped out of the cave behind the waterfall and flew toward the strongest monsters in the area, while Lonan moved
clusively.
A total of 18 pentagrams manifested from Ayden, Paul, and Jacob's bodies. Together, they soared towards the adversaries, casting spells to bolster their comrades and weaken the foes, ultimately enhancing the strength of their allies and exposing the vulnerabilities of their enemies.
The Mid-level Paragon vampire ignored the 5th stage armor a second later, realizing his opponents' strategy while making an ugly grimace on his face.
"Wretches! Are you trying to trick us?" He shouted as his green pentagram emerged
from his body, starting the battle already using his innate ability.
Even though he was a powerful vampire at the Mid-level Paragon level, this was a group
of six Beginner Archmages that even he could not eliminate so easily. Since the monsters' enemies had started this clash by attacking first, they certainly wouldn't be easily defeated!
One of the two Low-level Paragon cultivation vampires pressed the device connected to the monsters' camp around the Majestic Treefrog Grove, signaling they had found the enemies before engaging in this battle.
Thus, their battle began, with Qiang and Bonfi unleashing ferocious attacks on some of the strongest enemies, with their group starting the battle with some balance with their opponents.
