Chapter 138: Threats After Threats

-----

My Undead was doing their best to buy time, but they were easily overpowered. The amazing movements and physical strength of Leon were admirable. He moved at an amazing speed and pace and was almost unstoppable.

However, each time he slew one of my Undead, I made it explode using Undead Detonation from a long distance. The explosion of the Undead was strong and threw him away a few meters each time, but the priests were competent, as they healed him and later on covered him with barriers alongside his allies, inhibiting the power of my Undead explosions.

"Be purified, lost souls!"

Eric used several rays of holy light to burn through my Undead while protecting himself with a holy light barrier like it was nothing. With his attacks, the Undead were easily turned to ashes so they couldn't explode in time. The group I had was only about 20, so it wasn't nearly enough to even put a threat against them, especially because they were only C- and C+ Rank at most.

Damn it! I am rushing here as fast as I possibly can… Please, Undead, do your best!

Meanwhile, I used my clone to guide the Goblins outside of the village. The last one finally left, and the group quickly rushed through the entire forest. They quickly made their way into the temple which then led to the hideout that the necromancer was using to save the people he had as slaves.

I know its not the best place, but it still the safest there can be. I had to quickly bring them out of danger before it were to become too late.

With Gofumin in my arms and the chief at my side leading the people, things were going smoothly. I think we might manage.

Meanwhile, my main body was still rushing towards here, and I quickly decided to utilize more mana. I drank a dozen of Mana Potions, quickly making up an army of Ghost Snakes. They're not that strong anyway, but they can still be annoyingly formidable in such a big group.

I grouped them all together and sent them off towards the enemy. They were faster than me due to being so small and rushed and spread across the forest, trying to quickly catch up to the Undead, distracting the damn Mercenaries and Priests.

I had also decided to cut this army of hundreds in half, sending the other half towards the goblins and the other people led by my clone there, just as back up in case any monster show up and tries to eat the people while we are moving there.

"Gahahaha! It's useless!"

CLASH!

Leon sliced through another of my Undead. His massive ax easily sliced in half a monster the size of a wolf, which quickly exploded in front of his face, but he was mostly protected by the barrier of light, even if it shattered into pieces. He was somehow fine. That damn bastard was incredibly burly and muscular, and his defenses were phenomenal, more than Elderlight.

I had inspected this guy's status in the meantime. He was packed with defense and offense-oriented Skills, which enhanced his physical power through the roof. He also had the "Beast Axe Arts," which were like an evolved form of Axe Technique, and he had things such as "Earth-Shattering Slash" and even "Heaven-Piercing Crush," which only made me grow more concerned, as this guy hasn't even shown these skills yet. He was someone really at B Rank in power.

He was a Mercenary and also an Adventurer, an odd combination I never thought I would see… I had read in the libraries and stuff that Adventurers already at B Rank were terrifying people to fight against. Their power was admirable, and they had polished their strength for years and years.

Fighting Elderlight, someone with a threat level of B+ Rank, was already like a B-Rank Adventurer, and his power showed it. It took all three of us, including me, Emeraldine, and Partner, to barely take him down.

I had evolved since that fight and my strength was definitely higher, but even then, I couldn't help but feel a strong dreadful feeling that it would be a hard fight. His muscles shone brightly before the sunlight, and his smile, filled with the desire to crush the innocent people I was protecting, only made my heart grow more restless.

"Be purified, unholy Undead!"

FLASH!

Meanwhile, although Eric was something like a discount version of Elderlight, it didn't mean he was less scary. His power over holy light was admirable. He was able to easily purify Undead in seconds. I think he was even more talented in this regard than Elderlight himself.

pᴀɴdᴀ Additionally, he came with another four priests who were almost at the B Rank threat level, and it was shown in their amazing magical power and cooperation. They all combined their magic together, sometimes into something called "Combination Magic," scary-sounding magic used by the priests to conjure spells with power way above them.

With this magic, they conjured barriers that the explosions of my Undead would barely shatter, and with this magic, they also conjured strong healing spells capable of putting bones back together.

My last Undead was still fighting, evading attacks, and barely struggling, and my army of snakes was getting closer while I was lurking closer too. I had to travel over a kilometer by myself, so it was bound to take a few minutes. I couldn't help it!

Meanwhile, my clone had already reached the temple and was getting closer to the Necromancer hideout. Just a bit closer, and we'll finally arrive there and put the people in a safe place. However, before we could reach the hideout, something stopped us.

"W-What? Who are they?"

"P-People?"

"They're pale…."

"S-Stand back!"

"Maria… who are they?" Asked Gofumin looking at me with concern.

In front of us, there were three figures, their features… everything.

I knew what they were…

Vampires.

"Kukuku, I knew they would come here!"

"Good thing we followed those humans here."

"Indeed… Time for a feast…."
