Marcus and the vampire stared each other down, waiting to see who would make the first move.
Normally the vampire would have already attacked with wild abandon since he was absolutely livid right now from Marcus' attempted possession but seeing the shield of light Marcus had conjured kept him from charging in blindly.
Of course, against someone who wielded his greatest weakness, light magic, how could he just charge in without gaging Marcus' abilities.
However, seeing that their stare down was not coming to an end anytime soon, the vampire ordered his spawn to attack, and even though they instinctually feared the shield of light Marcus had, they could not deny their master's command.
Over two dozen of the vampire spawn came rushing towards him, while the other eight went to attack Lilia and Blitz.
'Damn, this is not good.'
'Flamethrower.'
