Chapter 244 - With A Watermelon, Throw Away the Sesame Seeds
The mutilated corpses of the suicide squad made the other vampires feel a chill in their hearts. Before, Fat Tiger and Julia had not taken action, and only Roy was playing, making Giovanni and the others almost forget that it was not only Roy at the high-rank demon level. There were also a few ruthless characters watching from the side…
At this moment, Roy released his new spell. This time, he cast an air-element ‘Haste’ spell.
However, the effect of this magic was also not very good. The so-called Haste was actually a strong breeze that revolved around the body and feet of the targets, reducing their weight, enabling them to move quicker. Although Roy’s lightning power was also in the category of air magic in this world, lightning and wind elements were fundamentally different. Roy could use lightning magic well, but he might not necessarily be able to use this Haste well…
After Roy released this magic, it could not cover too many skeleton soldiers. Only a few dozen skeleton soldiers became lively because of this, but besides making them get hacked to death faster by the vampire, it was of no other use.
This scene made Julia giggle so hard that she bent over. Roy’s magic power was very formidable, but he was not good at this domain, and it looked a little clumsy.
Roy was a little embarrassed by Julia’s giggling. So many people were watching, not only his servant (Cassandra) but also a group of vampire enemies opposite him. Perhaps these pale-looking fellows were secretly laughing at him…
So Roy felt a little angry. Damn it. Since I can’t strengthen my troops, can’t I weaken my enemies?
He raised his hand again, and Roy’s fingertip drew a black magic light. This time, he directly used his dark power to cast Weakness on the nearby vampires!
As Roy’s magic took shape, the vampires, who were slaughtering the skeleton soldiers like cutting vegetables, suddenly lost all their strength! Even though they were undead creatures, it was as though they had carried millions of bricks in a row. Their bodies were extremely sore and soft, and all the muscles in their bodies did not listen to them at all, as though they had collectively gone on strike!
Roy’s dark power mainly came from the Dark-Dark Fruit. Although the moves he used in the past were all based on the ones of the Dark-Dark Fruit in his memory, this did not mean that he could not use the dark elements in his body in other forms. The Weakness he cast this time was a type of dark magic. Roy’s spell brought an unparalleled and powerful effect that directly enveloped all the vampires!
The vampires, who were instantly drained of their strength, were actually suppressed by the skeleton soldiers!
The vampire count, Giovanni, was no exception. Although he was more resistant to dark magic than the other vampires, this Weakness also took away most of his strength. After sensing the powerful effect of Roy’s dark magic, Giovanni gasped! Finally, he directly felt how powerful the demon opposite him was.
Therefore, this fellow did not hesitate to sheathe his vampire sword and turn into a bat to leave!
Without needing him to say anything, the other vampires also let out strange cries as they turned into bats in fear and began following behind Giovanni in retreat. They were frightened by Roy’s dark magic. For example, normally, if these vampires had a slashing power of five hundred kilograms, then after being drained of their strength by this Weakness spell, they probably only had about ten kilograms of slashing power left. They were not idiots. Under the effect of such powerful magic, it was difficult for them even to flap their wings and fly, so how could they dare to continue fighting?
They were afraid that if they continued fighting, they would be completely cut down by the cannon fodder-like skeleton soldiers. If that happened, they would become the biggest laughing stock of the vampires… Roy could not help but be stunned when he saw the power of his spell. Back then, he had suffered Xeron’s Weakness and knew that this dark curse was very powerful. But now that he used it, this group of vampires was so terrified that they did not even have the courage to fight, which was beyond his expectations.
In fact, it could be seen from this that Roy was now far stronger at using dark magic than Xeron…
But how could these old bats run away like this? Roy had yet to agree, so he chanted softly and waved his hand to throw another dark curse!
What he used this time was ‘Suffering’.
The next second, the vampires, who were still flapping their wings with all their might, screamed as they fell from the sky. The moment they landed, they could not help but transform into their vampire bodies and then roll on the ground while howling miserably. Not only did they roll, but they also desperately tore their hair and slammed their heads into the sand. Under the effect of this spell, unbearable pain came from their bodies. It was as though thousands of needles were pricking their brains through their skulls, as though thousands of ants were biting their bone marrow. They were so painful that even their throats started bleeding from the roaring. The tragic screaming sounded terrifying…
Of the remaining four hundred vampires, only Giovanni escaped. But judging from the crooked flying of the big bat that he had transformed into, he was also in excruciating pain. He was merely enduring it as he escaped.
On the other hand, the hundred-odd vampires that had been electrocuted by the Lightning Shield and slowly regained their consciousness escaped the catastrophe. But when they saw this scene while lying on the ground and opening their eyes, they spontaneously chose to close their eyes and continue pretending to be dead, afraid that they would become like their companions, where living was worse than death.
During the entire battle, Roy had never used any destructive offensive magic, but the result was unexpectedly good. In the end, Giovanni still managed to escape. He did not even know who the enemy was, where he came from, and where he was going. In a daze, Giovanni left behind hundreds of his subordinates and escaped like a lost dog. Although he was unwilling, this battle made him understand that he was still a little lacking if he wanted to replace Arantir…
Therefore, he decided to report back and complain! He would let Arantir deal with this terrifying demon…
Because Roy had not used any magic to kill, although these vampires collapsed, none of them died. Roy turned to ask Cassandra, “How is it? Can you incorporate these vampires into the troops?”
“These high-level undead with intelligence require some effort, and they can only be forced!” Cassandra replied. “Let me try first…”
“Go ahead!” Roy nodded.
Cassandra floated forward, and the petal-like lich robe fluttered slowly. In her hollow eye sockets, the flames of the undead burned fiercely. When she came in front of the vampires, her powerful mental power spread out and enveloped all of them, including those who were pretending to be dead.
Cassandra activated her undead enslavement, intending to forcibly engrave her mark in the minds of these vampires. But not long later, Cassandra suddenly screamed, and the flames of the undead in her eyes dimmed as she fell to the ground dispiritedly.
“What’s wrong?” Roy quickly turned into lightning and instantly came to her side to help her up.
“I can’t control them!” Cassandra said weakly. “There’s a stronger enslavement mark in the minds of these vampires. This means that their master should be a very powerful necromancer!”
“So, when you tried to enslave them, you suffered a backlash from this mark. Is that what it means?” Roy asked with a frown.
Cassandra nodded. “Yes. Either I become stronger and forcibly erase this mark, or the necromancer who left the mark dies, and the mark will disappear on its own.”
Roy touched his chin and pondered. He felt that Cassandra’s strength might not increase much in a short time. Even if it improved, she might not necessarily become stronger than the necromancer who left the mark. Now, he could only use the latter method—wait for the necromancer to come and kill him with his own hands. Then he could let Cassandra take over the undead army.
“That vampire who escaped should have gone back to get reinforcements, right?” Roy said. “Then, let’s wait here. When that necromancer comes, you can replace these skeleton soldiers with high-level undead. It doesn’t matter if we have to wait a while!”
“What about these vampires?” Cassandra reminded Roy. “If the necromancer comes, these vampires who obey him will fight for him again.”
Roy thought for a while before turning around and picking up a vampire who was pretending to be dead as though he were pinching a chicken. He asked, “Does your master have any undead stronger than you?”
“Yes, yes…” the vampire said in fear. “There are also some death knights and some bone dragons…”
“Is that so? That’s good!” Roy smiled. Then he grabbed the vampire’s body with both hands and pulled hard to both sides!
With a ripping sound, Roy tore the vampire into two…
Roy threw the vampire corpse aside and ordered Fat Tiger, “Bite them all to death!”
Before the vampires could react, Fat Tiger jumped out, pounced into the group of vampires, and bit fiercely. Under his enormous body and strength, the vampires were bitten to death, crushed, and sent flying like rag dolls!
Only at this moment did the remaining vampires realize that these people had not fought them seriously in the previous battle!
However, it was already too late to escape because Julia had also joined the battlefield and quickly slaughtered these vampires with Fat Tiger!
Just as Cassandra had said, keeping these vampires would be a disaster. Once the necromancer arrived, he would order them to attack Roy and the others. And when Roy learned that there were still powerful undead like death knights and bone dragons in the enemy’s troops, he lost interest in these vampires, so… He directly crushed them to death!
