Chapter 330: 330

Chapter 330 Army of Locusts

There was a dungeon for vampires deep inside the cavern .

At first, the prisoners would be suppressed by special enchanted equipment, before they were put in special iron cages .

Those cages were very tight, with holes only the size of a finger . The prisoners couldn’t escape in bat form .

As for Atomization… Since the cages were meant for vampires, that problem had been taken into consideration too .

Those cages were partly made of gold, an inert metal that wouldn’t react with magic power and could block Atomization .

After Wenger was imprisoned, Christina did not leave but simply stood nearby . She asked after a brief silence, “Do the Golden Sons have special ways to communicate?”

“Yes, we do . ”

Having lived for some time in the Bruce family, Wenger had met a lot of people . He wasn’t very familiar with Christina yet, but they greeted each other every time they met .

He had been quite fond of this girl, who was both pretty and had principles .

“Why did you change from a Golden Son to a vampire?”

“Actually, I’m still a Golden So, . ” Wenger said with a smile . “I can still resurrect, and I can use all the functions of the system . The abilities of vampires are just added onto my previous identity . ”

Christina snorted and said, “Is that why you can resist Lord Bruce’s order?”

“That’s part of the reason . ”

Nobody else was in the dungeon, and it was deep and quiet underground . So, they sounded quite loud even though they kept their voices low .

Christina rubbed her eyes and asked again, “What kind of person is Roland among your people?”

“I have no personal contact with him . I’ve only learned of him through special channels . ”

Christina furrowed her brow and said, “Why don’t you tell me about it?”

“He’s the strongest Mage . He has powerful friends . He’s generous and amiable too . ” Wenger said with a smile, “If I have to comment on him, he’s like one of the Mage protagonists in the knight novels . ”

“He’s so good?”

“You’ve already met him . Do you think he’s good?”

Remembering the fireball that exploded like a sun, Christina’s heart was still shaking even now . She was rendered speechless .

“Christina, a word of advice: you will only be killed if you stay here,” Wenger said solemnly . “My people will arrive in five hours at best, and more will come later . By then, there will be no time for you to escape . ”

“Seriously?” Christina was still unconvinced . “Thousands of professionals are coming here? Are they all crazy?”

“They’re here for money . ”

“The vampires don’t have much money . ”

“Bone powder . ” Staring at Christina, Wenger said, “Roland stated that the bone powder of vampires is valuable on our communication channel . ”

After a brief shock, Christina had goosebumps all over her body .

“Your people… are killing us for money?”

“That’s right . ” Wenger’s gaze became queer .

“How could you…”

“Why couldn’t we?” Wenger said matter-of-factly . “If you regard human beings as prey, isn’t it fair that the Golden Sons regard you as prey?”

“But we’re vampires…” Christina murmured .

“And we’re the Golden Sons . ” There was pity in Wenger’s smile . “Why can’t the vampires be prey?”

Christina was horrified by Wenger’s smile .

She subconsciously stepped back and staggered out of the cavern .

Prey!

We’re prey!

The thought rang in Christina’s head .

By the time she woke up, she found that she had flown away from the Bruce family’s base .

What am I doing?

Christina was of a mind to fly back to the family base, but what Wenger said popped up in her head .

“A piece of advice: you will only be killed if you stay here . ”

“If you regard human beings as prey, why can’t you be regarded as prey?”

As a colony of bats, Christina flew aimlessly to a wood and hid herself there .

She was about to take a rest when she heard horses passing rapidly the wood .

She sent one of her bats out of the wood, only to see a dozen people riding horses to her family base .

All of them were professionals and had the same vibe as Wenger’s, indicating that they were Golden Sons .

“They’re really so fast?”

Christina was rather panicked .

Soon after they passed the wood, she saw another twenty people galloping toward her family base on horseback .

Seriously? They’re really coming?

Christina really felt frightened .

This was only one direction . What about the other directions?

While she was thinking, she heard horses coming up from behind her again .

This time, one of the riders was even shouting, “Horse tracks! A lot of people are ahead of us! Let’s hurry up! There’s only a limited number of vampires!”

Hide! Hide now!

Christina dared not fly out of the wood or up above . She simply flew inside the wood in the opposite direction of her family base .

At this point, Roland had come to the edge of the Bruce family’s base too .

Hardly had he climbed the hill when he heard battle cries from the castle .

About a hundred people had launched attacks on the castle from all directions .

Since it was the day, the vampires were greatly affected . The weak, patrolling vampires at the periphery had been caught by big nets while they were flying .

Net Casting Specialty!

It was a special trick available for Hunters and Rogues that could even catch angels when their levels were high enough .

Looking at the bats, who were angry but dared not assume human shape, the players all laughed .

After all, it was still daytime, and the sun was strong . They would be burned to ashes if they transformed into vampires .

Then, magic flames were thrown into the nets .

Very soon, all the bats were burnt into bone powder and collected into system Backpacks .

“I’ve earned hundreds of thousands . ” The players who made a fortune laughed crazily .

Then, more and more players scored .

In no more than two hours, all the patrolling bats outside of the castle were gone .

The bats that luckily survived had flown back to the castle .

At this point, the players were ready to attack the castle as more and more of them were gathered here .

Two hours earlier, there were only a hundred, but their number had exceeded a thousand at this point .

Standing on the hilltop, Roland watched the players charge forward and shout .

“Spare some for me!”

“You can kill them, but please leave their ashes to me . I like spraying ashes best!”

The hundred players in the lead looked back, only to be shocked . They rushed at the castle even faster .

At this moment, there was obviously not enough meat for everybody, and they intended to claim their share first .

Anyone who stopped would be a real idiot .

However, when the few players at the front were about to break into the castle, they were flung away by a strange power and blown into pulps of flesh and blood in midair .

Then, a black ball rose from a balcony in the castle and expanded into a black round dome that surrounded the entire valley in the hills .

The players in the middle of the Dome of Darkness could not even see their own hands .
