The sudden movement of the ghouls also bothered the high-level ghouls as they wanted to hunt Kieth themselves. The three baron-level ghouls released their corrupted blood-qi and overwhelmed the lower-level ghouls.
Graaah!
The three ghoul barons hovered around the low-level ghouls to stop them in their tracks. It was instinctual of them to stop the low-level ghouls even if it was unintentional. Keith could've used the lower-level ghouls as shields when the high-level ghouls appear.
[What I most worry about is the viscount level vampire. I can easily deal with the baron-level ghouls even if they attack me simultaneously. Their blood-qi level isn't that high to rival Keith's.
[The problem is, will the viscount level ghoul just stand there or join the fight? Even with all this strength, handling three barons and a viscount level ghoul might be a bit much.]
