The Situation Is Dire

The male vampire stared in astonishment at his empty heart and collapsed. The one who had taken his heart was none other than Vladimir!

This guy didn't die. While we were talking, he launched a surprise attack on the vampire in front of him, took his heart, and swallowed it!

We stepped back abruptly and discovered that Vladimir had changed completely. His hair had fallen out, revealing a bald head with only the whites of his eyes showing, and with his long, hooked nose, he looked exactly like a demon!

"I didn't want to become like this, but you brats are really troublesome. You even broke my Master-Servant Contract. Well then, become my nourishment!"

Vladimir's aura suddenly intensified, and the magic circle I had just destroyed began to glow red again!

Not only that, but the area above the magic circle also lit up, reflecting intricate magical patterns in the night sky, echoing each other like a cage!

The dead vampires have now risen again, and become incredibly ferocious. Our warriors, who had just glimpsed a glimmer of hope for victory, are forced to rejoin the battle. 🐤🍟 💘💜

Vladimir stared at us with terrifying white eyes and launched an attack. This time, he not only used Blood Magic but also kept waving his claws to reach for our hearts.

Swain, three other vampires, and I spread out and surrounded him in the middle, each using powerful attacks, but the effect was not ideal.

The blood mist barrier around him was gone, but his body had become exceptionally strong. When I stabbed him with the Gale Sword, it felt like touching hard steel. This feeling was very similar to my previous battle with the Vastaya!

Swain created distance to launch ranged attacks. His magic was very powerful; the Black Mist formed Ghost Claw that often staggered Vladimir, but unfortunately, they didn't cause any real damage.

As for the other three vampires, they were in a much worse situation. Their Blood Magic was completely ineffective against Vladimir, and their Martial Arts were also useless. On the contrary, they were scratched by him and almost had their hearts ripped out.

"Hahaha... You actually managed to destroy my magic circle, you Ionia are quite something. But don't think you can kill me like this. My life force is beyond your imagination. Become a part of me!"

Vladimir taunted us with a manic tone as he fought, and occasionally, when he encountered soldiers or other vampires, he would rip out their hearts and devour them—he was incredibly cruel!

At first, I thought the vampires would be able to generate Spiritual Power after being resurrected, but I never expected that they would never be able to rise again after Vladimir swallowed their hearts.

I can't use Spiritual Power to attack, and other methods of attack are ineffective against him. What should I do? After fighting for so long, I'm completely out of ideas.

During the difficult battle, I heard shouts of battle coming from not far away. Soon after, I discovered that reinforcements from the Flame Legion and the Sandstorm Legion had all arrived.

Each of them sent over a hundred men, all elite warriors. Ignoring Darius's advice, Rappor led them directly into the magic circle.

"You brute! I told you not to bring anyone in, why didn't you listen!" Darius was a little angry.

"You expect me to stand by and watch someone die? I'd rather die here!" Rappor blew on his curly mustache, swung his hammer, and charged into battle!

The vampire minions were not stronger this time, and they were quickly wiped out by the combined attack of Darius and his allies, as well as Vladimir's slaughter.

However, Vladimir became exceptionally powerful from devouring both sides' hearts, and his skin gradually turned reddish, making him even more terrifying than before!

"It's been so long since I've enjoyed such a delicious meal, it's truly delightful!"

Vladimir stopped attacking, stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, revealing two sharp teeth.

"What a twisted sense of humor! They don't even spare their own people!"

"Hahaha... Don't misunderstand, I trained them so they could give their hearts for this moment. Now that they've completed their mission, they should be happy!"

"Then I'll take your heart!"

There's no other way now. I've decided to believe Jax's words: there's no such thing as weak or strong power; as long as you use it skillfully, its power will be immense!

I stopped thinking about Spiritual Power and silently focused on the Wind Riding Technique that Souma had taught me, concentrating on using the Wind Force.

Darius, who was never afraid of battle, saw my fighting spirit rise and also wielded his great axe to fight.

As Rappor watched his men fall one after another, being brutally murdered, the hammer surged with immense power.

Swain continuously supported us with magic, and his binding power greatly hindered Vladimir's movements.

We all used our best methods to launch a fierce attack on this formidable enemy!

Vladimir spoke less and less, and faced with our calm and collected battle, he had to become serious.

The fierce battle continued for a while, and then, in a casual slash, I was surprised to find that his arm had been cut by my Gale Sword!

After getting into the swing of things, I inflicted several more wounds on Vladimir, two of which even drew blood!

This greatly boosted our morale. He is not invincible. As long as we persevere, we will surely win!

However, the excitement didn't last long. One of the female vampires fighting alongside us was struck by Vladimir, and her bloody heart was ripped out and swallowed.

Two of the four vampires had already died, and the remaining man and woman were extremely angry. They recklessly pounced on Vladimir, but this played right into Vladimir's hands.

He conjured two clouds of blood mist that instantly struck their heads, binding the two vampires. Then, he reached for their hearts with his claws.

We never stopped, but Vladimir didn't care at all; he took our attacks head-on and killed two of them!

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Swain could only use magic to attack the two vampires. Two huge raven claws grabbed their legs and dragged them backward, but in the end, he only managed to save one of them.

The male vampire had his heart ripped out and collapsed to the ground. The female vampire survived, but a large hole was ripped out of her from her heart, rendering her unable to fight.

These men's hearts were extraordinary to Vladimir, because each one he swallowed would flash, and the wounds he had sustained from taking our attack would heal!

Without a doubt, these individuals are the ultimate weapons he has cultivated!

"Your end is near! Hahaha..."

Vladimir's strength has been greatly enhanced. We had just gained the upper hand when we were back to where we started, and were even more passive!

Soon after, Darius was also hit, his shoulder was grabbed hard, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible!
