Chapter 768 Vampire Civil War
Second Grade versus Third Grade?
It was something that couldn’t possibly happen in the World of Adepts.
Such a thing could never happen, regardless of how powerful the Second Grade adept was and how weak the Third Grade adept was.
The World of Adepts was one of the famous large planes of the multiverse. Its division of the adept grades was also undoubtedly one of the most authoritative ones. A certain busybody once did a calculation. For every increase in an adept’s grade, the adept’s power would increase significantly by over ten times.
It was precisely due to the strictness of the World of Adept’s division of grades that the adepts had become such a famous and intimidating group in the multiverse.
Thus, all the adepts in the stone hall and the tent were stunned to see this Second Grade female vampire prepare herself for battle against the intermediate Third Grade Vampire Haines.
This Bloody Mary seemed to be a fearless person.
If a Second Grade couldn’t deal with that Third Grade vampire, then three of them would fight him at once!
Zacha and Tigule were enveloped in the crimson magical forcefield created by the tower’s blessing. They roared and lunged out of the darkness, quickly joining the battle against Haines.
One had to admit that the heavy armor and dragon scales on Zacha, as well as the Goblin Shredder’s thirty-centimeter-thick alloy armor were way too dense for a vampire to pierce. Even though every claw attack from Haines carried with it over three hundred points of blood attribute damage, he couldn’t do anything if his attacks couldn’t pierce the enemy’s armor.
If they were the only two dealing with Haines, then the old vampire had over a hundred ways to slowly use his blood energy to destroy their defenses before murdering them. However, when the three of them gathered together–the dragonborn attacking, the Goblin Shredder defending, and Mary stalling–then even the Third Grade Haines couldn’t help but be troubled.
If he tried to focus on Mary, she could easily kite him for a period of time with her twenty-eight points of Agility (her own twenty-six points with a +2 bonus from the tower). During this time, the Second Grade dragonborn’s lightning spear and Frozen Mallet, along with the Goblin Shredder’s magical guns, posed a decent threat to the Third Grade vampire.
At the very least, Haines could no longer ignore the threat that they represented!
On the other hand, if Haines wanted to focus on the two of them, the dragonborn’s lasting lifeforce and the goblin’s speechlessly sturdy machine made them challenging targets.
Third Grade Haines weaved between the three enemies, always finding gaps and opportunities to dive in. He would occasionally scratch Zacha, strike at Mary, or lead Tigule about in circles. However, he still had no way to exterminate any one of them quickly.
Thus, the battle continued in this awkward stalemate!
