One day later...
The group of vampires and monsters searching for Ayden's group and the others were about to hit their targets near the Valley of Lightning!
In the area, there were ten 6th stage monsters. This included 7 Beginner Archmages and 3 Intermediate Archmages. Additionally, there were 3 5th stage vampires. Among them were two Low-level Paragons and one Mid-level Paragon. With these numbers, they were almost certain to encounter their targets soon.
The strongest vampire in the area looked around with a smile on his face, opened his mouth, and taunted the enemies he was sure could hear him loud and clear.
"Show yourselves! Don't you think it's disrespectful to come so close and then run away? We should at least greet each other, shouldn't we? What type of visitors are you?"
The six individuals remained in their positions, each one sensing a deceleration of time as they braced themselves for the battle that would determine their fate.
