Anastasia's face lost color as she caught sight of a high-vampire emerging from the shadows, blocking their path of retreat.
Ahead of them, a horde of bloodsuckers could be seen approaching, while behind them loomed a high-vampire.
High-Vampires are essentially ancient beings who have lived for hundreds of years. Unlike humans, elves, and dwarves who grow weak as they get old, Vampires are the opposite.
Since they grew stronger each time they fed themselves, it could basically be translated as the longer they lived, the more they fed.
Meaning, the older a vampire was, the stronger that abomination was bound to be.
In essence, high-vampires were superior creatures—faster and stronger than most, if not all, other vampires in their ranks.
That is especially the case if they are the direct blood descendants of their former Vampire Monarch.
