914 The Power of 6th Stage Armor
As soon as they left the space protected by the formations, Vicente and his group flew south.
The strongest enemies were close to them, approaching from the east and west, while some weaker ones were ahead, positioned offensively, ready to launch attacks.
"Ignore them." Vicente eyed his companions. "Let's make a quick escape and distance ourselves as much as possible. Once we're out of the Citadel's seal's reach, we can teleport even farther away from here."
He wrapped his hands around the device he had received from the Dragon Tribe, which could teleport them away should the need arise.
'I was only going to use it when I had to face Demien. But now that I've reached the 6th stage, the most important thing is to avoid those monsters and hunt down my 11th pentagram.'
Vicente knew what he had to do, and he was willing to risk losing such an artifact in order to escape the group that was pursuing them.
As they flew south, the armor took up position, falling back as the enemies approached.
Ready to distract the enemies so Vicente and the others could succeed in their escape, the artificial metallic creatures were the first to move in the battle to escape the Citadel.
Five armors joined forces against the Master Archmage, simultaneously using their creator's electromagnetic powers to slow the creature down.
Instantly, a suppressive force washed over the strongest monster in the area, forcing it to slow its movement speed by 70% for a moment.
The vampire Archmages understood the abilities of these armors simultaneously with the strongest monster present, while the other armors attacked them.
Using the knowledge they had inherited from Vicente and their special powers, the artificial creatures went in search of what was most precious to vampires: their souls.
One of these metal beings clasped its hands together at chest level and a golden core of light appeared in the darkness.
Frustrated by the problem, the Cthulhu unleashed its wrath, its massive tentacles thrashing towards the armors that dared to restrain it.
With tentacles covered in mana, it reached the metallic creatures around it in a single instant, overpowering their combined suppression and preparing to crush them with its body.
For a moment, the armor reached by the Cthulhu's tentacles resisted, their bodies withstanding the pressure that tried to crush them as they penetrated the mighty Master Archmage's body.
They elicited cries of pain from the monstrous creature, but they could go no further in the face of a being so much more powerful than they were.
Boom!
All the armor that the Cthulhu had attacked exploded, their suppressive effects on him gone, allowing him to move freely against Vicente and the others.
The creature took the lead, abandoning its allies in search of the five creatures on the run.
At this point, Vicente merged his mana with that of his four companions and then used the dragon's device, infusing 80% of his mana into the teleportation artifact.
Having just reached the beginning of the area unaffected by the vampire seal, he didn't hesitate to take this important.
His body and those of his companions vibrated for a few moments as the giant body of the Cthulhu came close to them.
Qiang thought, for a moment, they wouldn't escape when he saw the enemy's tentacle attack coming towards them, something that could kill half of the group if it reached them.
He saw how weak he still was against one of the strongest on the continent, and realized he still had a long way to go if he wanted to become a peak expert.
The second before it reached them, however, they all disappeared under the watchful eyes of every single enemy.
"NOOO!" one woman fighting against the armor said in a high-pitched tone, sending shivers down the spines of everyone left behind.
