Chapter 506 The Elder Vampire
A red mist completely clouded the figure. The fog was no different than Michael's cloud of darkness. Only the cloud enveloping the figure was dark crimson red. The stench of blood in the air doubled after the figure appeared. The strong scent nauseated Michael and he was no stranger to the smell of blood. Involuntarily Olivia stepped closer to Michael as the judges stared at the figure shivering in the air. They waited for the guards but to no avail.
"Where are the guards?" Olivia whispered,
"Boys, slow down," the figure's voice echoed through the arena. Only then did they witness people in the arena getting bitten by someone enveloped in the red mist just like the one in the air. The people who got bitten from behind exploded afterward.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Looking at the scene, many screamed out loud and panicked. Instantly, the people made a run for the exit, only to turn into a pulpy mess. Michael noticed hundreds of vampires sucking the peoples' necks and turning them into a bloody mist. Deep down in his heart, he was glad Olivia was with him. Otherwise, she would have been targeted by the vampires.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god," Olivia panicked, shivering from top to bottom.
"GUARDS!"
"GUARDS!"
Atian and Gabriel both screamed for the guards, but no one came through the door behind them.
Michael never expected the vampires to launch a large-scale attack. Instead, he thought they would go into hiding because that is what he would have done if someone had exposed his secret identity.
"This is troublesome," Michael said to himself. According to the experiments and information he gathered from Victor, Vampires were immune to spell attacks no matter how powerful the spell was. The guard who was killed by Gabriel wasn't a fully turned vampire. He was controlled like a puppet by someone, probably the vampire shrouded in a red mist.
The bloody mists appeared after the people exploded, drifted to the vampire hovering in the air, and enhanced the crimson red cloud around the vampire.
Killing a vampire without going into full Dark Lord was highly troublesome. He had to use the Dark Flames to kill or even slow down a vampire. Otherwise, they would just regenerate and attack back with several times more ferociousness.
Fortunately, the vampires blocked the sunlight by putting on a giant blanket over the arena. But, unfortunately, by doing this, they turned the arena dark, and darkness was his domain.
"Shit!"
"What's happening? Where are the guards?"
Leilan and Jennifer panicked just as the rest of the alchemists. Considering the vampires hadn't started to kill the alchemists on the ground yet, they still possessed the ability to think. The spectators, however, ran for the exit like headless chickens. Many got stepped over and died by getting crushed.
"Jade crucifix," all of a sudden, Hendrix who remained furrowing his gray eyebrows, raised his hand,
The very next moment, an emerald green crucifix materialized in the air just a few meters away from Michael. The crucifix went from a typical handheld size to a giant 8 feet crucifix. It floated towards the vampire in the air.
As the crucifix floated towards the vampire, it sucked the bloody mist like a black hole. Soon afterward, Michael noticed several vampires getting sucked from the spectators' stand. They screamed and squirmed. However, Michael noticed that only several people in guards uniforms were getting sucked by the crucifix. Those who bit people wearing completely black robes remained still without getting affected by the crucifix.
The crucifix differentiated the halfly turned puppets from the fully matured vampires. What bothered Michael was how mature these vampires were. If they were anything like Victor, the odds of surviving would go way down.
He could count at least fifty vampires; weirdly, he sensed no cultivation power from them.
There was only a possible explanation that appeared in Michael's mind. When the vampires crossed the void line, they possessed a cultivation level like the normal cultivators. But, in the cultivation of continents, they became something else.
'Are they stronger or weaker?" that was the question that quickly emerged in his mind
"Humph," Michael heard the vampire in the air snicker. Afterward, a trail of smoke extended from the crimson red shroud towards the crucifix. Then, the emerald green crucifix and blood red smoke clashed in mid-air, producing an otherworldly whistling sound.
The crimson red smoke rapidly engulfed the crucifix, rendering the emerald green dim. In a couple of blinks of an eye, the red smoke completely swallowed the crucifix,
Boom!
Then, the sound of the explosion reverberated in the air as Michael witnessed thousands of tiny green particles raining down.
"Ah!" Hendrix coughed up a mouthful of blood as he stumbled back, losing his balance.
"Run," Hendrix mumbled. Hendrix was at the Fusion stage yet his spell was decimated within a few moments. Even if Hendrix was a warrior, his spell still wouldn't have affected the vampire.
"Is he an Elder Vampire?" Michael asked himself, recalling Victor's words about the Elder Vampires, who were the most powerful pure-blooded vampires. But, of course, Victor had no idea there were more powerful classes of vampires above the Elder Vampires.
Gabriel didn't even dare to cast a spell because he was at the Core Strengthening stage and he knew how powerful Hendrix was. So Gabriel knew if Hendrix stood no chance, neither would he. Hence, Gabriel turned back and rushed towards the door to escape.
"What's the rush, Lord Gabriel?" The vampire's high-pitched clear voice rang in their heads as a cloud of smoke shot out from the vampire and covered the door.
"Holy Blast!" Gabriel raised his hand, sending the golden plasma blast at the cloud. To his shock, the plasma blast shattered into millions of golden dots when it clashed with the cloud.
"Lord Hendrix!"
Hearing Atian's shout, Michael turned his head from Gabriel to Atian and saw Hendrix floating towards the vampire. His old body was stiff as though he was paralyzed. He didn't even move a muscle.
"Does he have something to do with the ambush?" Michael asked himself looking at Gabriel, who was currently trying to get through the red smoke blocking the door.
Despite the chaos and mayhem, Michael remained calm. On top of his training to stay calm despite the situation, the darkness soothed his mind and soul. He canceled out all the screams of the people and focused on how to escape the arena without revealing his full power.
Furthermore, he hoped the vampires' aim was to massacre people and issue the world a warning. Rather than targeting anyone specifically, anyone such as the Dark Lord who orchestrated their destruction of secrecy.
"Jennifer," Eve tried to move forward, but Michael quickly grabbed her hand,
"Stay still. Don't give him a reason to attack you. Noah will protect her,"
Michael whispered coldly to Eve. The seriousness and authority in his voice rendered Eve speechless. She wanted to disagree, but she simply couldn't.
Michael didn't know about Leilan, but he was certain Noah would protect Jennifer. Meanwhile, Alicia and Norvin leaped onto the ground, reaching Noah.
"Ghosty Drag-" with his eyes turning red, Atian raised his hand to cast a spell. Before he could finish casting, a puff of smoke shot out from the vampire like an arrow and blasted Atian to the wall,
In mid-air, the shroud enveloping the vampire slowly opened up, vaguely revealing a bloated short man. Through the opening, Michael saw the man opening his mouth as a meter-long tongue resembling a tentacle came out to lick Hendrix,
Still, Hendrix didn't even move a muscle. Instead, he looked like a t pose statue while being licked by the vampire.
The tongue gradually coiled around Hendrix's neck, clenching Hendrix's throat little by little.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Suddenly, Noah's shot echoed through the arena. Then, everyone saw a bright beam of light shoot out of Noah's body to straight up at the vampire. The bright beam had a tint of blue as Heaven's flame coiled around the beam.
As per Michael's knowledge, the Primordial flames were one of the weaknesses of a vampire. Ever since he used Dark Flames on Victor, Michael wondered whether the other Primordial flames would have the same effect or not. His curiosity ended when Noah's flame cut straight through the bloody mist enveloping the vampire, cutting the tongue around Hendrix's neck.
Immediately Alicia leaped into the air, catching Hendrix in her arms.
"Argh!" the vampire cried but it sounded more pissed off rather than hurt. When the vampire growled, all his underlings stopped killing the spectators and leaped onto the ground.
"Boys kill them," the vampire coldly ordered the underlings. Michael had a feeling the vampire was looking at the VIP seatings. His feeling was confirmed when a few vampires leaped from the ground to their VIP seatings.
"Thank you Noah," Michael cursed Noah in his mind. There was a possibility that the vampire was targeting only Hendrix and would have left the arena after killing Hendrix. By attacking the vampire with Heaven's flame, Noah pissed it off. Now, the vampire ordered the underlings to kill them instead of killing the spectators.
Granted, Michael felt terrible for the people who got killed by the vampires. Yet, his own survival was more important to him than the people. When two powerful forces were at war, people would die. As far as Michael was concerned, it was impossible to save everyone.
"Get them to safety!" From the ground, Noah shouted at Alicia.
And just as she was about to leap at the VIP seatings, Noah raised his hand, sending a stream of Heaven's flame to Alicia's golden spear. Immediately, her spear lit with Heaven's flame,
Michael, who saw the spear burning with Heaven's flame cursed at the Dark Flames because if he had to cover his swords in Dark flames, the flames would melt down the steel like a knob of butter.
"Seems like mine is more powerful than Heaven's flame," he calmed himself down, comparing Heaven's flame and the Dark Flames.
"Stay back," Michael stepped in front of Eve and Olivia as two vampires targeted him. While four others targeted Atian and Gabriel,
"Like hell I would," Eve stepped forward and stood beside Michael as a hammer with a gold handle materialized in her hand. In the corner of his eyes, Michael saw several tiny runes glowing on the gray hammerhead.
Eve kept spinning her hammer until the hammer became blurry.
"Whoa," Michael was stunned when she threw the hammer at the vampire and sent the vampire flying before hitting the vampire in the chest.
Whoosh!
She raised her hand as the hammer, which disappeared from their sight, came right back into her hand.
Michael noticed the runes glowing brighter than before. Unfortunately, he missed the ability to summon back Doom bringer after throwing it. At the moment, he had to upgrade the Doombringer if he wanted to place any runes.
Seeing Eve summon the hammer back, he was slightly jealous, to be honest. Moreover, she looked so cool.
However, Michael didn't plan to be on the sidelines. This was his scene, and Michael had enough of being sidelined.
