Chapter 1058 - Bait
The bright, full moon enveloping half the night sky splashed on the pitch-black ground with its illumination. The outlines of the leaves in the forest were clearly visible, but all of a sudden, a series of animal howls broke out throughout the tranquil forest. Countless, startled birds woke up from their slumber, flapped their wings, and soared into the sky fearfully to escape the close-approaching death, as well as the holder of the death aura.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A dozen black shadows flitted across the forest silently, and not even the criss-crossed thorns and lush tree branches were able to stop them in their tracks. They overcame obstacles like fast-moving ghosts and shortly after, rays of flashes shone, interweaving into a net of light.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of rasps rang and the shadowy figures landed on a lawn in the middle of the forest. Mysterious soldiers clad in black armor encircled them from the perimeter, wielding swords and staring at their target before them with crimson eyes. It was Carol and the vampires surrounded in the middle. They were covered in blood and injuries. But even so, they maintained their perfect formation. One of the young vampire ladies wearing a pair of glasses clutched the pitch-black staff, chanting under her breath. Then, scarlet shields appeared around the young ladies. The two young ladies standing behind Carol to her left and right held swords in both hands, glaring at their prey before them like raging wolves.
The peace between both sides lasted for only a moment before erupting into a violent battle again.
The dark soldiers by the perimeter pushed forward and flourished their swords. Meanwhile. the young ladies also raised their weapons and rushed toward them. The battle resembled a flower bud blooming its sharp edges. The young lady in glasses standing in the middle slammed the bottom of the staff into the ground. As she recited the dark, mysterious chant, radiances in balls of blood exploded instantly, transforming into sharp spears that flew in all directions. However, facing such an aggressive attack, the dark soldiers continued to march forward fearlessly. But at the next moment, they suffered for their actions.
Clang! Clang!
Carol danced in the flashes of blade rays like a nimble bat. The sword in her hand instantly turned into a bright spot, abruptly jumping over the slashing swords of the dark soldiers. Then, it changed its trajectory and pierced one of the dark soldiers through the helmet’s opening. The soldier let out a mournful screech when suddenly, mysterious white smoke exploded from within the helmet. Carol withdrew her sword and retreated back to her original position. Meanwhile, the dark soldier swayed, took two steps back, and his body exploded, blasting his comrades around him. In an instant, their tight formation was smashed. The other vampire ladies quickly sheathed their swords and returned to their positions. But the several corpses before them announced that these young ladies absolutely weren’t just fortunate to successfully burn down Athos City and came all the way to the Land of Atonement from the Country of Darkness.
“You think trash like you can stop us? Utterly worthless!”
“… Great, Angelina. I heard you submitted yourself to the Void Dragon? Is that the reason why you dare to spout nonsense in front of me? Do you think you can act so brazenly just because of that?”
“You’re the one who’s brazen, slut.”
At this moment, another voice sounded. Not only was Ashvril surprised, but the silent Balende also turned around instantly. There were three beings to their left, right, and back, blocking their retreat.
Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Alice.
Ashvril was baffled upon witnessing their presence. Even though she didn’t know who Alice was, she witnessed Canary and Mini Bubble Gum in battle and felt their strength personally. It was especially so for Mini Bubble Gum. The instant Ashvril saw her, an unknown flame of anger lit up inside her. If it weren’t for Mini Bubble Gum who destroyed her weapon during the battle in the Order Ceremony, Ashvril wouldn’t be in this rocky position now. But she apparently had no time to consider this problem now. Of course, she knew that Angelina relied on the Void Dragon for help and just in case, she came here as fast as she could, attempting to resolve everything before the Void Dragon detected her. Anyway, to Ashvril, these vampires weren’t powerful. With Balende’s assistance, she was confident in taking them down in seconds. Ashvril thought that her plan was thorough and detailed enough, but now, the appearance of the trio clearly showed that the Void Dragon was aware of her arrival. But before Ashvril came up with a counter solution, the voice that she hated sounded once again.
“You came all the way to the Void Territory to smash our turf? You are so brave, slut; it seems like it was truly a mistake to not punch you to death during the Order Ceremony. Are you ready? Since you’re here already, don’t even think of going back alive!”
Mini Bubble Gum said with eager excitement, clenching her fists and revealing a sinister smile.
