and many more.

Bai Ye recognized him. Wasn't this the demon child that Maglock had risked his life to protect back in Friedum?

Although I've grown up a bit over the years, I still have a childlike look in my eyes.

How could it appear in a place like this?

"What's wrong, Master?"

"...Wuyue, do you remember what Maglock did back in Friedham?"

"I remember you said Mr. Maglock protected a demon child... uh... could it be her?"

"Exactly."

It's true, after Bai Ye saved Maglock's life and entrusted the child to him, she didn't know what happened to her...

I never expected to see you again in this secluded mountain village.

"By the way, where do you live? We can take you home."

Beatrice asked.

At this point, a hint of panic appeared on Inessa's face.

"By the way... home, there are definitely more bad guys than just these... sister, and everyone else... they might be in danger."

Inessa muttered to herself as she hurriedly ran off in a certain direction.

"Eh!"

Beatrice tried to stop him, but he had already run far away.

"Don't just stand there, let's go after them."

Fiona said.

......

How could a child possibly outrun everyone else?

Before long, the group caught up with Inessa, and Lin Mo carried her on his back as they continued on their way.

Following Inessa's directions, the group quickly moved towards the house she had mentioned.

The closer I got to my destination, the more uneasy I felt about my surroundings.

There seemed to be a strange energy that blocked perception.

"Everyone, this is a barrier that blocks sound and light."

Alessandra offered a friendly reminder.

"You can see, right? How come I can't see?"

Fiona turned her head to look at Arester's face, which was blurred by magic.

Alessandro was too lazy to even explain such a question.

First, she is not blind.

Secondly, even without using her eyes, she could see the enormous magical field that enveloped the entire forest.

Sure enough, as soon as they took a few more steps forward, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

The once peaceful forest is now filled with the sounds of battle, and a massive cloud of blood mist swirls in the air.

To be precise, it was a dark cloud composed of blood bats...

"Note that our presence has likely been detected."

Valeria reminded.

This is also based on experience.

Valeria witnessed the methods of vampires while serving in the army in Sacred Deer Valley.

Often, the blood bats arrive before the humans, serving as a vanguard for reconnaissance and surprise attacks.

At this moment, these blood bats are naturally used as a warning.

Everything that happens within the entire barrier is visible to the naked eye.

"In that case, there's no need to hold back."

As Areste spoke, she floated up and flew into the air.

"Analysis, reflection, reductio ad absurdum..."

Echoes from the Mirror World

A large-scale magic spell that was chanted in just three words.

This is extremely rare.

In some ways, it is even rarer than spells without chanting... and it better reflects the quality of a mage.

In mid-air, countless fine cracks appeared, like a shattered mirror suddenly exploding.

The real sunset shone through the false barrier, instantly turning the swarm of blood bats into ashes.

"Attack! Someone is attacking!"

From the woods ahead came the cries of the vampires.

However, it was too late to defend. Valeria, still feeling the thrill of the previous slaughter, had already started a new round of reaping.

"This woman, she's really good at pretending, even though she's more ruthless than this princess..."

......

"Sir! Our rear! Our rear has been attacked!"

A vampire reported to Peder Lesenberg, the commander-in-chief of the operation.

"Have you seen who it is?"

"One mage, one paladin, and the others... are currently unknown."

"Looks like they're the church's dogs. No need to worry about them. Have everyone turn around and deal with them. I'll handle this personally."

"Yes."

Peder couldn't help but take a deep breath of the murky air.

Chaos is indeed the most delightful thing in the world.

Soon, the vampires will be completely under their control.

As long as we seize the executioner's bloodline...

......

Valeria charged ahead alone, while Areste positioned herself on higher ground.

However, the road ahead for the remaining few was not without its challenges.

Led by Wuyue and Fiona, Eve protected Beatrice and Linmer, who was carrying Inessa, as they struggled forward, trying to keep up with Valeria.

"Hey, how come that churchmaid is so fast? Is it possible that I, the princess, am really no match for her?"

Fiona pierced the forehead of a vampire whose face was contorted with rage with a single sword strike, and said with displeasure.

Wuyue remained silent.

However, it was clear that the vampires they were facing now were on a completely different level from those they had just encountered.

What Miss An said earlier about the hierarchy of bloodlines among vampires is vividly demonstrated here...

Also, why don't these vampires look like the ones Lady Armand brought?

The vampires in the Florence dungeon, at least, still managed to look somewhat human.

But these...

His distorted face, already somewhat bluish-gray, looked as if...

Has it become a regression to ancestral traits?

But weren't those ancient vampires in the Florence Underground City wiped out long ago?

With this question in mind, Wuyue beheaded another vampire.

The closer they got to their destination, the more serious the situation became.

Finally, the team's weakness was revealed.

Eve, an archer, couldn't protect three people. An opening appeared in their rear, and a vampire seized the opportunity, his claws aimed straight for their backs...

Swish!

The vampire's arm snapped off instantly.

"Moonless" reappeared at the back of the group at some point, coming to Eve's rescue.

"Thank you, Wuyue... Phew..."

Eve was surprised, but she didn't forget to thank him.

"Wuyue" glanced at her and then disappeared.

Eh?

Eve looked back and realized that Wuyue had been at the front of the group the whole time and hadn't looked back at them at all.

It's definitely Mugetsu... right...?

......

Vampires are not good at teamwork and have no chemistry with each other whatsoever.

The hastily organized defenses crumbled in an instant.

Valeria charged straight at Pedir's back, her lightsaber thrusting forward with undiminished force, determined to kill him with a single blow...

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out, and Pedir's phantom had vanished, replaced by Pedir holding the sword's blade between two fingers. The holy light attached to the sword had no effect on him.

"Paladin, a lackey of the Church."

"I don't know how you found this place."

"But since we're here, let's not leave..."
