Finding that the only one coming with him to the area that the demon lord had just come from was Midnight, Walker understood why. The entire party had just been embarrassed. There were enslaved vampires finding themselves weak and free everywhere nearby. They had just fought and been injured.
All of this was a lot to handle. This had been one of the most unpredictable fights just yet. Having affinity to blood related skills was not something that they had considered, yet, nwo they had to accept that there were magics and manas that allowed more unique things like that.
Beyond this, the twisted elder vampire had been powerful because he literally kept his subordinates alive to sue them as vessels for himself. He had been injured so badly that he had lost the ability to move. Just controlled his enslaved armies for his own gain while he could.
