Chapter 243 - Vampires Are Very Lean
Chapter 243 Vampires Are Very Lean
The black electric balls circled around the skeleton soldiers. Under the cover of night, they looked very conspicuous.
After falling from the sky, Giovanni’s vampire subordinates had just pulled themselves out of the sand. Although it did not cause any harm to the vampires, it was very embarrassing for the vampires who claimed to be nobles.
Especially when they saw that the demon opposite them actually wanted to use a group of low-level skeleton soldiers to deal with them, these vampires became even more furious!
They no longer cared about Giovanni’s orders. They jumped up, stretched out their sharp claws, bared their fangs, and roared as they pounced at the nearest skeleton soldiers. They wanted to destroy these skeleton soldiers as quickly as possible so that the demon would realize how ridiculous his behavior was…
“Wait… wait!” Giovanni hurriedly tried to stop them, but it was too late. The vampires were already fighting the skeleton soldiers. They used their sharp claws to block the blades of the skeleton soldiers and easily broke these rusted blades with their strong grips. Then they dug their claws into the skeleton soldiers’ chests and pinched their spines in the cavities. With violent force, they immediately crushed the skeleton soldiers into two pieces.
Against the weakest skeleton soldiers, high-level undead such as vampires would crush them like dried twigs.
However, before they could find their next opponent, the Lightning Shield on the skeleton soldiers turned around and touched the vampires…
Sizzle. The power contained in the black electric balls suddenly erupted, and black lightning instantly covered the bodies of the vampires. The vampires at the front let out blood-curdling screams in unison. Their entire bodies became motionless, then they slowly fell to their knees and fell straight to the ground.
These vampires that collapsed were all charred black.
They were not dead yet. Roy’s Dark Lightning was distributed on so many skeleton soldiers and inevitably dispersed the magic power. So the power of the black lightning naturally decreased a lot and was not enough to kill these vampires directly. But the sudden burst of high temperature scorched the bodies of the vampires until they were charred, causing them to lose their combat strength instantly. They could only lie on the ground and rely on their recovery ability to recover slowly. As soon as the battle began, hundreds of vampires fell down, but their opponents were merely a group of skeleton soldiers that they could shatter with a single claw. This shocked the vampires who had not rushed forward, and their cloaks almost shook off.
Roy’s Lightning Shield was not a commonly seen air spell in Ashen because this spell might injure allies. Roy had only seen it in one of the magic books brought out from Ulambus. The other magic books did not have any records of it, and this spell was not even recorded. Roy could use it because lightning was already his source magic.
Moreover, if not for the fact that his troops were like cannon fodder and had no intelligence, Roy would not have chosen to use this spell. However, judging from the battle situation, the effect of this spell was unexpectedly good…
“Damn… damn it! Don’t go near them!” Giovanni saw his collapsed subordinates and stomped his feet in anger. He drew the vampire sword on his waist and shouted, “Attack with weapons!”
After hearing Giovanni’s command, the vampires drew their swords one after another and used the length of their weapons as a safe distance to attack the skeleton soldiers.
This time, the skeleton soldiers began to be quickly eliminated and turned into broken bones. Although there were a few unlucky vampires who accidentally let their sword tips touch the electric balls of the Lightning Shield, causing them to be electrocuted and collapse, this was only a small number. The vampires quickly gained the upper hand.
As expected, the skeleton soldiers are still too weak! Roy thought when he saw this scene. Skeletons are indeed only suitable to play the skeleton sea tactics…
Although Roy had this thought, he still began to chant according to a magic incantation from a book.
After a short chant, Roy waved his arm gently. Magic light marks appeared on his sharp claws, and another spell took shape.
The sand under the feet of the thirty skeleton soldiers fighting at the front suddenly rotated rapidly, turning into a whirlwind that enveloped these skeletons before quickly disappearing. After the sand disappeared, a layer of hard sand armor appeared on the bones of these skeleton soldiers!
After slashing the skeleton soldiers with their longswords, the vampires fighting them could not easily cut the skeleton soldier into pieces anymore. Instead, there was a loud clang, and the rebound force against the swords almost knocked them flying out of the vampires’ hands.
This was ‘Stone Skin’, a very useful earth-element defensive spell. But Roy only used his magic power to simulate the effect of this spell this time. Be it in terms of coverage or quality, it was nothing compared to the previous Lightning Shield. The thirty skeleton soldiers covered in Stone Skin only lasted for about ten seconds under the vampires’ swords. The magic effect expired, and the vampires cut them to the ground.
This situation energized the vampires. They found that the demon did not seem to be that powerful.
Therefore, several vampires immediately turned into bats, flew over the skeleton soldiers, and rushed toward Roy, wanting to kill him first.
Giovanni saw this scene and wanted to stop them, but he thought about it and did not say anything. He knew that the demon opposite him was definitely a hero-level high-rank demon, but he did not know how powerful this high-rank demon was…
To put it another way, it was often difficult to determine the opponent’s strength between different races. Generally, you could only vaguely make a judgment based on intuition!
For example, among the demons, low-rank and middle-rank demons could easily feel the pressure coming from Roy, a high-rank demon. Even though Roy did not release his power, they could vaguely feel Roy’s strength and would submit to him obediently. This was probably a kind of genetic memory evolution.
But between different races, this perception of the opponent’s strength would be a little indistinct. Giovanni was like this now. He knew that Roy was a high-rank demon, but this was based on his experience of dealing with other demons. It was impossible for him to tell how strong Roy was as a high-rank demon. In addition, a vampire count like Giovanni was very strong himself. Precisely because of his confidence in his strength, he could not say that he knew that the enemy was a high-rank demon and just directly flee. He had to test him no matter what.
And now, the task of probing was given to the vampires that had transformed into bats…
There were not many undead troops under Cassandra’s control, and most of them were cannon fodder like skeleton soldiers. Their combat strength was obviously not very strong, so Roy was not surprised that the vampires were using the decapitation tactic. But he did not even look at these vampires swooping down at all and instead concentrated on using the army magic that he read from the books.
A few vampires flying over showed joy in their eyes when they saw this scene, thinking that their attack would succeed.
However, before they could reach Roy, an enormous black shadow suddenly blocked their path! In their horror, the only thing they could smell was a damp stench, and the only thing they could see was sharp teeth that were almost as long as their arms!
Awoo! Fat Tiger rushed out from the side, and the large mouths on his three heads opened at the same time. The huge area attack let him bite all the vampires that came in one bite, and then he started chewing them.
However, the taste of vampires was not good. These undead creatures did not have souls, and the flesh and blood of their bodies could only be maintained by absorbing blood. They did not have much blood to speak of themselves, so when Fat Tiger chewed the vampires in his mouths, he felt as though he was chewing dry wood. It was too disgusting!
After chewing a few times, Fat Tiger frowned and spat out the vampires. At the same time, he barked at Julia, “Aw,” “Woo,” “Woof,” meaning: Mistress, bats are not tasty…
Poor vampires. They had been chewed and spat out by Fat Tiger, and they were now a pile of minced meat and mud and could not be saved…
