Chapter 330 Bloodsucking Bat Swarm
A vast forest with green trees and lush, full leaves.
An odd buzzing sound suddenly replaced the chirping of insects. It was the sound of beating wings.
Pupupu.
A dense swarm of bats surged out of the forest like a black cloud. They surrounded the group of knights in an instant.
Black shiny fur, red eyes, white fangs, and a body as large as a wash basin. These weren’t the typical bat species that resided in the woods, but a swarm of bloodsucking bats that had been mutated with evil magic.
They were unqualified to be called real vampires. At the very best, they were only blood servants and spawn created by an actual vampire.
Throwing these weak entities against the two radiant knights and three spellbreaker knights was a futile effort. It was like smashing an egg against a rock. The knights would crush them within moments. All five of the knights cast aside their rough cloak and quickly gathered together with their backs against each other. They were nervous, almost as if they were afraid of something.
With the addition of the vampires, the five knights’ battle quickly turned into an arduous one.
The radiant knights had far better Physique and Strength compared to the vampires. Killing them was as easy as slicing vegetables. Thus, the vampires commanded the bat swarm to delay the radiant knights. Meanwhile, all the monsters quickly gathered up and assaulted the protective circle of the spellbreaker knights.
A spellbreaker knight, engaged in violent and bloody combat, was too preoccupied with hacking at a vampire that had flown past him. He failed to notice the bush beneath his feet.
He stumbled two steps and suddenly found himself outside the defensive formation.
The accident caused him to panic. He waved his sword about and tried to rush back to his companion’s side before he even managed to balance himself.
But it was too late!
Rustle.
Countless bats surged into the midst of the knights from the gap that had just opened in their formation. They used their strength in numbers and forcefully threw the knights into chaos.
A swarm of vampires descended from the skies as they were distracted. They assaulted the stray knight with their bodies.
Blood splashed everywhere, and limbs scattered in every direction!
The stray knight slowly pushed further and further away in this storm of blood and flesh. He quickly disappeared from sight.
Pupupu.
Consecutive energy blades blasted into the sky. The bats swarming the knights were instantly sliced to bits. Blood filled the air and stained the knights crimson.
They didn’t even have time to suppress the agitated energy within their bodies. A new batch of bats sped forth from every direction, once again pinning them to the spot.
The knights could vaguely hear the battle cries of their stray companion through the horde of bats. However, the sounds soon stopped following a sorrowful cry. Only a sickening sucking sound remained.
“No, leader, we must save Stophe!” Locard, the man with the axe, was already panting in exhaustion, his muscles covered in sweat.
“Save? Can’t you see he’s already dead?” Sim roared as he continued to hack and slash.
This team had already suffered casualties. If they continued to stay here for a dead man, none of them would live to see another day. That was why he was so annoyed by Locard’s brainless suggestion.
“I don’t care, and I will not abandon any of my brothers… ” Locard’s eyes had already turned bloodshot from all the killing. He yelled in anger and turned towards the distance, waving his axe and cutting his way towards his companion.
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!
As expected, the knight leader had already made his decision before Sim could even curse.
“You bring Sim and leave first. I will return with Locard. We will meet at the agreed location.”
The leader’s body enveloped in light the very next second. The runic energies came from within his body and formed an armor of light. It gave him more power and a savage strength.
When the blinding curtain of blades fell upon the bats, their corpses dropped like rain.
“Go! Hurry! I will catch up with you soon…”
The leader yelled and charged into the woods.
