Chapter 178 The Great Battle of Vampires and Spellbreaker Knights
The red sun had already risen above the horizon, but the depths of the woods were still dimly lit.
As the witcher-knights were hot in pursuit, dashing across the dense woods, groups of bloodsucking bats flanked them from behind. Swiftly, they pounced and tackled the witcher-knights in the rear, one after another.
With their leathery wings and the ability to fly silently, along with their ability to shift rapidly between their batform and human form, none of the witcher-knights were able to defend against the sudden attack when they dove down from above.
Of course, any knight that made it into this army was no weakling. Even if they were caught by surprise, they were still able to counter attack, severely wounding the attacking vampires. But their bravery in the face of death was useless against the vampires. All they had to do was devour a little fresh blood, and all sorts of serious injuries would be healed in a matter of seconds.
And so, with their tactic of tackling and then surrounding……then tackling and surrounding again, the groups of vampires took turns and were able to silently kill seven of the witcher-knights.
Until……
A pained scream rang through the forest!
However, some of the shards still managed to pierce through her blood-red defense, leaving scratches all along Mary’s body and limbs. The fine shards remained embedded in Mary’s body, their fires still persistently burning……
Yet even faced with such wounds, Mary was not any less courageous. She did not retreat to treat her wounds, but chose to sneak above the enemy to attack once again.
The unexpected sneak attack did not give the knight enough time to form the shockwave within his body. He could only tightly grip the magic colt with his legs and drive it forward. He rested his back on the horse’s back, the shield on his left hand blocking Mary’s claws that struck down again.
The sharp claws screeched as they slashed on the semi-translucent shield. The violent impact was not completely deflected. The shield was pushed down, causing the spellbreaker knight’s back to crash heavily into the magic colt’s spine.
The colt beneath him let out a pained whinny as it continued to run forward.
Mary, who had been pushed away by the tremendous recoil, immediately unfurled her bat wings and leapt towards the knight as if she defied physics itself. A blood red longbow suddenly appeared in her hands, and a mysterious scarlet, crystalline arrow converged on the half-drawn bowstring.
“Go!”
With a shout, a hundred blood red arrow images filled the space between Mary and the spellbreaker knight.
Goddamn, what is this attack!?
The spellbreaker knight, who had never seen a close-ranged adept attack like this one, was shocked. He swung around and instantly and sent a cross cut from his sword, neutralizing most of the scarlet arrow rain. The energy shield on his left hand was directed about frantically, barely deflecting some of the arrows that shot past the cross cut.
Even so, both him and his mount were peppered with blood arrows that had managed to pierce through his shield and battle technique, covering them with numerous wounds. If it wasn’t for the protection of his runic armor, and the scales of the magic colt, the attack just now would have severely wounded them.
The spellbreaker knight let out a battlecry and turned his horse around, charging towards Mary, who was catching up on foot.
One of them was a mysterious vampire adept from a different plane; the other a powerful spellbreaker knight that stood high in this plane. The two powerful beings of different races with different combat styles, savagely clashed against each other, just like that!
