Chapter 356: Vampire’s Dependents

"咻咻咻咻咻——"

The sound of breaking through the air resounded fiercely in the deserted alley, causing arrows to shoot like a downpour in the direction of Li Ge and his party, without missing any corner.

The surrounding buildings were baptized by the arrow rain first, causing some of the arrows to fall on them and pierce the walls.

Laxi and others quickly reacted to the rain of arrows. Just as they were about to take action, Lige chanted magic first.

"[Arrow Blocking Wall]."

Suddenly, the surrounding air flow changed.

What Li Ge chanted was magic that could weaken shooting attacks.

Therefore, when the flow of the air changed, the arrows that rained down on everyone were immediately affected by the air flow and began to lose their accuracy one after another.

With a "thud, thud, thud" sound, all the arrows that had lost their accuracy deviated from their main targets, either passing by Li Ge and others, or falling from the mid-air as if they had lost their power. Either pierce the ground or pierce the surrounding buildings.

It was only then that Laxus and the others took action, spreading out and no longer gathering together to avoid being concentrated attacks by the enemy. Only Lige still stood where he was without moving.

"Chi chi chi——"

Suddenly, a sharp scream sounded.

Everyone discovered that after the rain of arrows, another large black shadow flew out of the prison-like building.

"careful!"

Evileye's vision seemed to be superior to that of everyone present. He immediately saw the true form of the group of black shadows and shouted a reminder to everyone present.

"It's a vampire bat!"

Vampire bats are a group of small bat monsters. As the name suggests, they will attack humans and creatures and suck their blood.

This kind of monster is not strong, it can even be said to be very weak. If calculated based on the level of "YGGDRASIL", they are only level 1 or 2 monsters at most. Even the lowest bronze level adventurer can easily deal with them.

But the most troublesome thing about vampire bats is not the strength of the individual ones, but that they usually act in groups. Every time they appear, they appear in large groups. If you encounter a relatively large group of vampire bats, it will A team of mithril-level adventurers will be very difficult to deal with.

This kind of monster is also one of the monsters most commonly summoned and used by vampires. Therefore, if a group of vampire bats appears, it generally means that there are vampires nearby who summon and use them. And the larger the group of vampire bats, the more likely they are to summon and use them. The vampire will become stronger.

Now, the number of vampire bats flying out of the building in front of Lige and others was so large that it could be described as covering the sky. The sight of the densely packed bats flying out of them shocked even Evileye.

"How, how come there are so many vampire bats...!?"

Not only Evileye, but the expressions of Laisi and others also changed.

"Geglan! Tia! Tina! Stay back!"

Laisi quickly gave instructions.

"whispering sound……!"

Gelan, Tia, and Tina were stunned one after another. They did not disobey Laxu's instructions and quickly retreated.

"This amount..."

Brian also frowned and stepped back.

Faced with such a large number of flying monsters, warriors like Brian and Gegelan who relied on melee combat as their main means of combat were at a considerable disadvantage.

After all, warriors have too few range attack methods, or even none at all. If they are surrounded by a group of vampire bats, they will definitely not be able to kill them. They will definitely be like an elephant bitten to death by ants, and will be slowly killed. Slowly biting and sucking blood, he eventually died of excessive blood loss.

That's why Laxi asked warriors like Gagaran to retreat. Even Tia and Tina were shouted down by her, leaving only the magic casters who could use large-scale attacks to stand in front and fight against the vampire bats. group.

"【flight】!"

Evileye took the lead in taking action, using flying magic to fly towards the sky, attracting some vampire bats.

"[The most enhanced magic·Crystal Shot]!"

Immediately afterwards, Evileye activated the skill-enhanced magic, turning countless crystals into bullets and shooting towards the group of vampire bats.

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"...

The crystallized bullets hit a large number of vampire bats that rushed toward Evileye, shooting them down from the air and flying away one by one with blood on them.

"Come on! Floating Sword!"

Laxus gave an order and made a series of cone-shaped swords rise from behind.

That is the magic tool that Laxus is good at - the floating sword group.

This magic item is just as its name suggests. It is a group of swords that can float freely. Under the control of Laxu Si, it can turn into free-flying flying swords and shoot through enemies from a long distance.

Now, Laxu activated this magic prop, letting flying swords fly out, rushing back and forth among the vampire bats, as if they were being held and waved by invisible people, sucking blood one by one. The bat was chopped down.

Unfortunately, there were too many vampire bats. Even though Lax and Evileye launched large-scale attacks one after another and killed many vampire bats, there were still many vampire bats that passed through them and flew towards the place where they were located. Soldiers at the rear.

Of course, Li Ge also became the target of vampire bats.

In this case, Li Ge used a magic.

"[Rejection of the Cocoon of Life]."

This is a protective magic that can exclude life and make it impossible for living things to pass through.

When Li Ge chanted this magic, a light shield with a radius of about ten meters rose from the ground, covering Li Ge and the soldiers, protecting them.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The vampire bats hit the cocoon-shaped mask one by one, and then bounced away from the mask. They were completely unable to pass through the mask and attack Li Ge and others inside the mask.

"[Shock Wave]."

At this time, Li Ge activated the second level of non-attribute magic, causing an invisible shock wave that distorted the atmosphere like an invisible explosion, centered on it, and swept away in all directions.

"Bang——!"

Amidst the roaring sound, a large number of vampire bats were blown away by the shock wave, spraying large swaths of black mist-like blood in mid-air, flying backwards and falling to the ground.

"good!"

"sharp!"

Seeing this scene, Lax and Evileye, who had planned to come over to support, couldn't help but scream.

"So Lord Brighaut is really a magic caster?"

Brian, who saw Li Ge using magic for the first time, was amazed.

This was the first time he saw Li Ge use magic. When Gazef said that Li Ge was a magic caster who was proficient in magic, he still didn't believe it, but now he had to believe it.

It's just that a magic caster can actually perform such a stunning slash. I have to say that Brian's feelings are quite complicated.

Gegelan and others didn't think so much.

When they saw Li Ge protecting themselves and others, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then their sharp eyes noticed the emergence of the second abnormal situation.

"Something's coming again!"

Gegelan shouted, causing everyone to quickly look in the direction of the building.

The next moment, everyone saw that from the prison-like building, a group of black shadows moving on the ground also emerged and were approaching here.

There are two types of black shadows approaching.

One is the person who has lost all the water in his body, as if he has turned into a mummy, staggering towards this side.

Their movements were stiff, with sharp claws on the front of their dead branch-like arms, red light emitting from their empty eye sockets, and unusually sharp canine teeth emerging from their slightly opened mouths. At a glance, it was clear that they were not humans, but monsters.

"It's a low-level vampire!"

Tia and Tina immediately told everyone the identities of those monsters.

The so-called low-level vampires are actually the lower species of vampires, a degraded vampire.

The usual vampires are undead with almost the same intelligence as humans. Some of them have the same appearance as humans. Not only do they have much stronger bodies and strength than humans, but they also have many special abilities. Basically, in addition to silver and Except for special weapons made of metal equivalent to silver and magic weapons with a certain degree of power, any physical attack that falls on them will be mitigated.

Low-level vampires are different. This kind of degraded vampire is like a shriveled corpse. Although it has memories of life, its thinking ability is low and its combat power is also quite low, far inferior to the orthodox vampires.

They are usually born after being drained of blood by vampires, and will be dominated and enslaved by the vampires who created them.

At this moment, many low-level vampires came out of the building, roaring and approaching stiffly.

"Is he the person in [Eight Fingers]?"

"I see, all of them have really been transformed into vampires."

Tia and Tina each spoke out.

"There's also a vampire wolf nearby."

Gegelan had already taken out his weapon, holding the heavy thrust war hammer, and cast a sharp and hostile gaze at the other kind of black shadow beside the low-level vampires.

I saw that beside those low-level vampires, there was a group of monsters dressed in pitch black, as if shrouded in night, with a pair of glowing red eyes revealing evil wisdom, and that looked very much like wolves.

Vampire wolves, a kind of monster with excellent tracking ability, like vampire bats, usually appear as dependents of vampires and are enslaved and dominated by vampires.

However, they are much stronger than vampire bats. If placed in "YGGDRASIL", they would be at least level 7 monsters, sometimes even stronger than low-level vampires.

Their movements are also extremely agile, not as slow as low-level vampires. After rushing out of the building, they immediately ran like a real pack of wolves, and some even jumped onto the surrounding buildings, like geckos. They were running like sticks to the wall, and were surrounding them in the direction where Li Ge and his party were.

Of course, there are a lot of them, and you can tell at a glance that they were summoned by very high-level vampires.

"...I now believe that the monster secretly controlling [Eight Fingers] is definitely a vampire, and it is a much stronger vampire than our little one."

Gegelan said these words in a deep voice, causing Tia and Tina beside him to fall silent.

Being able to summon and use such a number of vampire bats, vampire wolves, and low-level vampires, it is obvious to everyone how powerful the opponent is as a vampire.

"Damn it! How could such a powerful vampire suddenly appear?"

Even Evileye, who was flying into the air, seemed to be reluctant to admit this, and was cursing.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

At this time, the agile vampire wolves had already pounced in front of everyone. Some pounced in the direction of Laxu, who was the only one left on the ground and not protected by magic. Some of them ran into the [Rejection of Life] The light shield of "Cocoon" caused a loud collision sound.

"ha!"

Lachesi had already begun to use magic, adding various support magics to herself. After improving her abilities, she controlled the floating swords and let the flying swords kill in all directions, killing vampires, wolves and blood-sucking vampires one after another. bat.

"[Crystal Shield]!"

Evileye also deployed a crystal barrier around himself.

It is a magic that can defend against attacks to a certain extent. Although it will gradually fade with the number of attacks, it can block all attacks that do not reach the upper limit of defense outside the barrier.

The barrier composed of crystals turned into a protective shield, protecting Evileye. Whether it was the bite of a vampire bat or the claws of a vampire wolf, it could only chip away a layer of powder and could not attack the inside. of Evileye.

"[Fireball]."

Li Ge finally activated the fire attribute magic in [Cocoon of Rejection of Life], causing the scorching flames to gather from the front of his fingertips, spinning and expanding.

It didn't take long for the flames to expand to a size larger than others, leaving everyone who saw this scene with dumbfounded expressions.

"Then, is that still [Fireball]...!?"

Evileye let out a wavering cry.

Li Ge ignored them and shot a super fireball from his fingertips, letting the fireball pass through the light shield of the [Cocoon of Rejection of Life] and hit the rushing vampire wolves and vampire bats.

“Boom—!”

An astonishing big explosion suddenly appeared, and a huge fireball exploded on the spot, setting off heavy waves of fire and engulfing the vampire wolves and vampire bats.

For a time, countless vampire wolves and vampire bats were burned in the fire wave, and even the corpses were carbonized and turned into ashes and disappeared. Even the monsters that were lucky enough not to be swallowed by the fire wave were blown away by the explosion. It hit the surrounding buildings.

"————"

Such a grand explosion shocked the countless monsters that rushed here. For a moment, they did not dare to approach Lige at all. Instead, they stopped and backed away tremblingly.

Laxus, Evileye, Brian, Gagaran, Tia and Tina also unconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Ge who calmly retracted his fingers, with fear in his eyes. Come on look.
