Chapter 230: 230: Gestures
The General fought Draco. If one pays enough attention, one would see that the two are equal in strength. They both had lived for a thousand years. Their battle wasn't as flashy as others but every one of their moves caused quakes and shockwaves.
They employed various martial arts techniques and exchanged dozens of abilities unique to their path. On the other hand, Draco was more versatile due to the blood spells in his arsenal but it was nothing that the general couldn't counter.
A one-meter blood ball emerged from Draco's hand that grew quickly to thirty meters and hurled it toward the general.
The general only snorted. Green lightning enveloped his right arm and he greeted the blood ball that caused it to explode.
The battle between the two was in stalemate. Not only them, but the three captains and the three commanders joined the fight. They were on separate battlefields from their subordinates.
After all, every one of their attacks or slight moves could kill the weaker forces around them. It would increase the casualty.
The Tier 9 to Tier 7 Scouts chose their opponents wisely. They would pick weaker opponents and avoid someone stronger than them. Such nuances happen on the battlefield.
Andre, Rozho, Luna, and the others also fought. Rozho a Tier 8 Hunter + Sword Master was particularly dazzling in that he could even kill multiple vampires of the same realm as him. He was besieged yet he wasn't at a disadvantage.
'Not bad...' Caleb who was within the shadows monitored his friend and nodded with satisfaction as he saw that they could already handle themselves. With this, he was assured. He didn't need to worry about them anymore.
As he thought about this, a smirk appeared on his face. 'It's time to harvest some points.'
He looked around the battlefield. Near him, there was a group of nine Tier 8 vampires fighting a group of Guards and Constables.
Caleb condenses purple webs and shoots the gum gum rubber webs to one of them. It stuck upon the vampire who was just about to cast a spell.
"What is this?" Startled, he forced his foot away. However, the purple web only elongated. "What a weird thing."
He hurriedly condensed the blood axe and waved it to the purple substance only for it to stretch.
'Suddenly, one of the guards noticed this. Although he didn't know why the enemy suddenly stopped his chant and what the purple web suddenly appeared. He took the opportunity and pierce the vampire in the neck with his sword.
'Damn it... I intend to sneak upon him. What a waste.' Caleb sighed.
It was a bonus contribution point! He thought that the others were busy fighting. Who knew that the knight would suddenly shift its attention?
'Well, at least I managed to ease their pressure.'
Just like that, Caleb repeatedly tried to sneak attack. The first few attempts failed since he only used his gum gum rubber. In the end, however, he made fist-sized balls of gum gum rubber and hardened them.
He's comparable to a machine gun! Every hardened gum claimed the lives of Tier 8 vampires. Due to his continuous output, the invisibility provided by the ephemeral cloak was canceled.
'How would they know who killed whom? And how many vampires we killed? Is there someone who was keeping track?'
Five minutes had passed. Three hundred fifty-six Tier 8 had died on his hands. He attempted to kill some Tier 7 with it but a ball of hardened gum wasn't enough for them.
'It seems I need to wreck with my own hands.' Caleb's figure blended into the shadow of the manor.
His next target is Tier 7! He wasn't satisfied with Tier 8. With his current strength, he was confident of fighting those enemies one realm above him.
This is his confidence in his strength. As he thought of this, his eyes landed on a red-haired fellow fighting a Tier 7 from Scout.
'That guy. I think his name is Efron?'
Yes, he was familiar with the guy. In fact, he knew all Tier 7 veterans on the scout regiment. After all, he did his own assignment and gathered information about the strong members. He didn't go in-depth though. Just general information.
'It seems he's having a hard time with his opponent.' Read new adventures at empire
Efron got forced back when he took the blood wave of the enemy vampire. In terms of skill and combat experience, the red-haired Tier 7 vampire was also far superior. It could be said that most vampire invested a long time and their training and they are jack of all trades.
After all, they lived long enough that they managed to afford to waste time to train just anything in their whims. They also fought a lot in their long life. Not only Efron but everyone in the city was disadvantaged by such long-lived enemies.
'If this goes on. I'm gonna have to retreat.' Efron let the spear on his hand spin. He had used all his Tier 7 abilities but he couldn't get an advantage. 'Should I attack him at the cost of an injury?'
Suddenly, he saw a hand wriggling in the shadow not far away from him.
'Huh? Who hands as that? Pretend that I'm not aware of him?' Efron was still a bit proficient in sign language. He could see the hand making various gestures trying to communicate with him. 'Why should I follow him?'
Efron ducks an attack from his opponent. He felt his stamina was about to get depleted. 'Shit! It seems I just need to follow him!'
This time, he decided to take a leap of faith. A violent aura erupted on his body. "Tier 7 Ability: Hunter Wings!"
As he launched his ability, wings of light sprouted on his wrist.
With renewed vigor, Efron took a step forward and made a consecutive attack. His hands turned blurry due to the boost in his attack speed provided by the Hunter Wings ability.
'Is it his final attempt to save his life?' Surmised, Robin. 'I should end this and convert him to a vampire. I'll surely get rewarded.' Robin licked his lips. His red hair fluttered in the wind and a blood red mist enveloped his feet.
"B-rank blood spell: Vertigo Enclosed!"
