Lind transformed into a blood bat and hung above the castle.
He didn't have much blood left. Even the lowest-level Blood Magic like Blood Bat Transformation was almost unusable. This made Lind desperate to obtain the seed of the Demonized Blood Millet Flower so that he could recover a portion of his strength as soon as possible.
The agreed time with the werewolves was three days later.
However, Lind didn't think that these werewolves would honor their promise so well.
For the past few nights, he had been guarding the castle and monitoring the movements around the territory.
After transforming into a Blood Bat, Lind's hearing was extremely sharp. He could hear every sound within a few kilometers.
"They're here."
Lind quickly heard a strange sound coming from the north of the territory.
A group of people was approaching his territory.
If nothing went wrong, those should be the werewolves.
These werewolves were quite stealthy, using the night to hide their figures.
However, they couldn't hide their sounds, so they were completely exposed to Lind.
Through the echo, Lind could roughly calculate how many people had come from the other side.
There were almost a hundred and twenty of them.
This number made Lind tremble and he couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately, he did not choose to fight head-on. Otherwise, these people in his territory would not be a match for the werewolves.
"These guys really don't care about morals. We agreed to fight in three days, but they attacked the next day." Lind spat at his opponent's unruly behavior.
Then, he flapped his wings and flew towards the werewolves.
Now Telades was walking through the darkness. The moonless sky made the land seem even darker. With Akames leading the way, they kept moving toward Lind's territory.
However, when they were halfway there…
Telades suddenly reached out his hand and spoke.
"Stop!"
"Yes, Lord Telades?"
Akames, who was walking at the front, couldn't help but ask.
Telades sniffed, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I smell something special. Something is approaching."
A werewolf's sense of smell was naturally incomparably sharp, and Telades was one of the best. He was acutely aware of a scent coming at him constantly.
Telades looked up and raised his scepter. "Since you're here, there's no need to hide. Come out."
After saying that, he looked around warily, searching for the direction where the smell came from.
When Lind heard this, he didn't hide anymore.
Instead, he deactivated his Blood Bat Transformation and arrived in front of the werewolves.
"It's a vampire!"
When the werewolves saw Lind, he immediately recognized him as a vampire.
They all took out their weapons.
A few werewolves had even completely turned into wolves.
Thick fur covered their bodies. Pairs of eyes glared angrily at Lind, looking like they were about to pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
However, their actions were all stopped by Telades's gaze.
He looked warily at Lind but didn't make a move.
The fact that Lind had dared to appear alone in front of so many of them made Telades feel cautious.
"Who are you?" Telades asked.
Lind hid his face in the darkness and said calmly, "I'm Lord Lind's blood descendant. Lord Lind's territory is ahead. Please leave quickly, or the lord's anger is not something you can withstand."
Lind announced the existence of the lord.
Sure enough, Telades's fingers trembled slightly at the word "lord." Even though he hid it well, Lind saw it.
Although he did not have the strength of a lord at the moment, his identity as a lord was still surprisingly useful.
Who would have thought that a prince-level vampire could not use any Blood Magic now?
Telades looked at Lind. He tried to see a weakness in his expression.
As soon as there was a flicker in Lind's eyes, he would not hesitate to order his men to kill him.
However, Lind's expression did not change at all, as if he was not afraid of them at all.
That made Telades hesitate.
This time, he was only here to test the strength of Lind's territory. He didn't really plan to occupy Lind's territory.
However, he hadn't even reached Lind's territory yet before he was discovered by the other party. This was difficult for him to accept for a moment.
His single eye looked at Lind coldly. Then, he looked at the other werewolves beside him and took a step back.
"In that case, I won't disturb Lord Lind. I'll take my leave."
With that, Telades turned and left.
The other werewolves beside him also turned around.
But at this moment, a werewolf suddenly pounced on him from the side.
The werewolf had completely transformed into a wolf. It opened its bloody mouth and attacked Lind mercilessly with sharp teeth and claws.
It grabbed Lind and tore him into pieces.
However, in the next second, the scene of Lind's blood splattering on the spot did not appear.
Lind's body, which had been torn apart by the werewolf, turned into a black mist and disappeared into the air.
At the same time, a dense blood mist spread out.
Lind had long known that this group of werewolves would not follow the rules, so he did not use his true body to go out just now.
Instead, he used a simple Blood Magic to pour his blood into the Blood Bat, allowing it to replace his eyes.
Similarly, the Blood Bat also had the ability to transform. It was equivalent to an incarnation, but other than that, this incarnation could not use any magic.
This was one of the simplest Blood Magic spells, and one of the few that Lind could use now.
Telades tapped his cane angrily as the mist of blood vanished.
He did not expect that what he had been carefully guarding against just now was actually just a clone.
"Shall we move on, sir?" Akames asked.
Telades shook his head. "We've already been discovered. There's no point in continuing forward. Inform the clansmen to retreat."
However, just as he finished speaking, he smelled something that did not belong to Makar Forest.
Compared to vampires, these smells instinctively disgusted him.
Lind also sensed that those guys were constantly approaching the werewolves.
"As expected, these demon hunters can track my location."
The blood bat that Lind released was not only to distract the attention of the werewolves and delay them.
He also wanted to use his blood to attract the demon hunters.
For demon hunters, it was the same whether their opponent was a werewolf or a vampire.
In any case, they were both on the wanted list.
Looking at the werewolves who had already entered a battle stance, Lind revealed a smile that his scheme had succeeded.
"I hope you like this gift."
