Liam stored the Sanguine Witch's body, even grabbing onto her dislodged head with his chains before it flew away.
The remaining vampires instantly lost their courage with the Legionnaire's death.
Why would they try to fight someone their superior couldn't kill?
They'd rather live for another day. Although the higher-ups could potentially execute them for cowardice, they'd gamble their chances.
Instantly, they turned around and headed towards the distant Citadel.
…But Liam chased after them.
Zooming towards the Citadel, he realized there was no backup in sight, meaning the dearly departed Madam Ursul hadn't ordered for any.
Or, she simply didn't order them to chase.
Lower vampires strictly followed the instructions given by their leaders, and the Sanguine Witch clearly thought she was above receiving support.
At the same time, Liam didn't want any witnesses to the battle he just had.
