Chapter 17 - Awakening and Separation – Part 6

"Looks like they've started their last assault." Long Xian Yu watches from a close, dark distance inside a house where the blood of two soldiers being devoured by ghouls is in the air.

Long Xian Yu has been in charge of finishing off the soldiers from the rear, generating a group of around 20 Ghouls.

During the fights, she discovered that these are like beasts that little concentration is needed to be able to control their movements and also they attack without worrying about anything.

Because of this, some Ghouls had to be scrapped due to losing a leg or losing mobility. Even some Ghouls she currently possesses have no parts of an arm or the loss of an entire arm.

"It is a pity that they cannot regenerate, but I think it is a logical thing. They are no more reanimated corpses" Long Xian Yu opines with all the observations made earlier.

"I still don't understand why she is so different from one to the other. But I think that I will discover that later, first I must focus on what is now and when the latter is free" Long Xian Yu carefully observes and notices some unusual movements of the soldiers.

"It seems that now they are together and watch all the flanks. This is getting more exciting." Long Xian Yu's eyes narrowed red as she tried to find a way in.

After an exhaustive search, she finds a place. The second-story window that was damaged is not being heavily attacked, although flames are spreading there.

"Although I have 14 relatively healthy Ghouls, there are over 40 well-equipped soldiers, I will only have a short margin to infiltrate without being seen, but I will also be able to get information on combat capabilities with different opponents of different strength types."

Long Xian Yu dilates her pupils to detect the level of power through blood frequency and follow her instinct.

This ability is not equal to the detection level that many artists possess, as Long Xian Yu is not yet a martial artist, she only relies on her instinct, dangerousness based on assumptions, and blood intensity.

The brighter the blood, the more purity it has and the more power the subject has.

"As expected, the officer in charge has more power, and 10 other soldiers are somewhat below him"

The scent of blood further enhances her vampiric senses and dark thoughts come to mind.

"The desire to kill is very strong, but it is not difficult to control it." Long Xian Yu looks at her Ghouls in a frantic state. "But for my Ghouls, it is almost uncontrollable, if it weren't here they would attack any living target"

Long Xian Yu analyzes the situation and prepares her Ghouls, two small groups on the flanks and a large group in the middle.

"I must send the main attack and on the flanks and in the main area. I have to move"

Long Xian Yu quickly moves towards a still burning hut and immediately sends her Ghouls to attack.

"It's time to have a feast"

Group of soldiers

"Lord enemies are approaching"

"Ready the weapons, those rats di…" The officer trails off, his eyes widening as the attackers quickly approach.

The officer observes a group of unknown enemies, but wearing unique and broken armor, soldiers or what seems to be them; surprise and fear invade his being and his men, it is not fear when he is in combat or if they discover a crime and even a fear of death. It is a unique fear as if the being in front is his natural predator, his true enemy, the true hunter of living beings.

Even if the being in front of him was the King himself, he would only feel fear mixed with respect due to his majesty, presence, and strength. To the strong, fear due to their level of power; but in the face of these monsters, it is an innate terror, something born in the hearts of living beings.

Vampires, by nature, are the predators of all life, of those who live in the light. Even though in this world and outside there are beings that live in darkness or whose nature is evil, vicious, or destructive; They don't compare to a vampire. The only similar ones are the Devils, but there are still differences.

That of a Demon will be discussed later.

The soldiers did not stop trembling, trying to seek strength from who knows where, but even so, the desire to flee intensified.

The officer, seeing that some were backing away, raised his voice in an attempt to calm them down. "Everyone still! Calm down! Archers fire at will, spearmen forward. Stay together"

The soldiers quickly fall into formation and the archers start shooting without stopping.

"Why do they dress like us, what monsters are those? One of them asks muttering.

"Wait a minute, isn't that the rookie Lao and the other Li Xin?" A soldier comments with slight tremors in his arms.

"It's true, as well as the others" Another soldier reaffirms the above.

Recognizing them, fear gradually takes over their spirits. No one knows what has happened in the rearguard and this new extremely unknown and terrifying enemy.

AHHHH…ARRRRHG!

The Ghouls growl and roar, advancing quickly regardless of the impact of the arrows, in a few seconds they jump like cheetahs towards the soldiers who were some distance from the main group.

"! Spearmen attack, archers draw swords!"

The soldiers used their long spears to stab them in the stomach, though they were pierced the Ghouls only let out a loud growl, opening their mouths and showing their sharp fangs and rows of pointed teeth.

AHHHHHHHGGGGGG!

Some Ghouls who relatively well bit into the necks while using their claws to tear apart the abdomen. Their metal armor is shredded like paper, chunks of metal mixed with flesh flying through the air to litter the already bloodstained land.

Many soldiers turn pale and some fall on their butts due to the bestial and bloody scene that was presented, only the strongest shake their heads and run towards the Ghouls using their swords to attack the Ghouls by cutting off their arms or piercing them.

Soldiers fight this terrifying new threat as they fall back and maintain formation, despite the casualties the Ghouls are also rendered less effective by wounds.

Let's remember that a Ghoul cannot regenerate

Some feel nauseated due to the brutality, even the captain himself couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach despite the torture and cruel methods he used in the past and today.

"Stay strong, those monsters aren't powerful at all!" The officer yells as he decapitates a Ghoul and it immediately disintegrates leaving a black skeleton behind.

"Behead them, behead them!" The commanding officer yells at the soldiers.

Even though the soldiers' counterattack was collapsing the Ghouls, they also suffered heavy casualties and such casualties became Ghouls.

Meanwhile, at the farm, the fire is spreading rapidly and has consumed more than 50% of the building, killing many villagers and soldiers who were still there.

"Hurry into the tunnel, the fire is coming!" A soldier yells as he runs and helps anyone he crosses.

While crossing a corner a loud noise is heard in a room.

The soldier enters to check, but a hand brutally grabs him and a sword goes through his heart.

The intruder looks around and takes a deep breath until he notices something.

"My targets are down almost close to the fire, if I don't hurry they will die"
