Chapter 374
The battle initially involved hundreds of vampires but had escalated to tens of thousands, covering a battlefield spanning tens of thousands of meters. Giant trees were being cleaved and shattered by sword strikes and knife slashes. Vampires used uprooted trees as colossal weapons, charging at their foes.
The formations of the factions fragmented, but this allowed their comrades to engage the enemy. Suddenly, a vampire Marquis from the Lan Yu Grand Duchy streaked across the battlefield like a crimson streak of light. Dozens of Emerald Grand Duchy vampires froze in their tracks, only for their heads to roll as the wind rustled through the trees.
In the intricate Magic Nightmare Forest, the battlefield was divided into numerous sections. The three factions battled relentlessly, with Grandmaster Level experts constantly shifting locations to duel with their counterparts. Human followers of the factions formed teams and fought vigorously, their loyalty stemming from their extended lifespans or other reasons.
At this moment, the three-party skirmish was intensely bloody and fierce, with combatants going all out, aiming for fatal strikes. Legendary vampires were scarce.
Indeed, the combined forces boasted over 50 guru Professionals, predominantly legends and epics. William couldn't help but be astonished by the sheer number.
"Is Legendary Bloodline so readily available? My guess is that many of them turned into vampires along the way or enhanced their blood by feeding on their own kind," William pondered, beginning to comprehend the situation. Some Legendary Bloodline Professionals with limited lifespans and incurable injuries might willingly seek the aid of blood families to survive. Alternatively, certain vampires might secretly feed on their own kind to strengthen their blood.
As the battle raged on, Vampires Emerald, the elderly king, the first super boss, was besieged by masters and Legendary bosses from both sides, his body covered in wounds. He unfurled his wings, breaking the sound barrier as he retreated from the battlefield. Simultaneously, he captured an enemy vampire, sank his fangs into their neck, and drew their blood into his body.
Soon, the vampire in his grasp stiffened and turned into a desiccated husk. Vampires's injuries rapidly healed before his complete recovery, whereupon he brandished the longsword thrust into the ground and declared, "Osman LOSA, Vlad Lan Yu Grand Duchy, since you're both here, why not reveal yourselves?"
"Hehe, Vampires, when did you start resorting to the blood of your own kind? Aren't you afraid of becoming the rumored 'monster'?" Osman, the Lord of the Dark City, emerged from behind a massive tree, surrounded by bats that transformed into blood family members as they landed. These bats were part of his blood shadow killer team, raised since childhood. Three of these individuals had even reached the master level.
"Surprisingly, the war for the map commenced so early. Since you're all here, do you have the complete set of maps?" a voice laced with mockery echoed from a distance. The speaker, faster than his words, moved like a phantom, leaving afterimages that lingered for seconds, making it impossible to discern reality from illusion.
This was none other than the current ruler of the Lan Yu Grand Duchy, Vlad Lanyu!
Upon hearing these words, the other two also complied, saying in unison, "Let's present them!"
The three exchanged glances before simultaneously raising the maps above their heads.
Moments later, they lowered the maps.
An eerie silence descended upon the battlefield.
However, Vampires Emerald of the Emerald Grand Duchy wore a smirk as he uttered a single word.
"Well, before we settle this, shall we also invite the winner?"
