Villin, Rein. and Amelia were quick to get up and run toward the man. All they knew right now was that this man was a proper Magus and surely he had a bunch more spells compared to them.

When they stood next to the casually dressed man he raised his wand toward the doorway that had three pairs of legs laying next to it and a solid stone wall grew out of the ground blocking it entirely.

“Take ‘em to the truck will ya.” The man’s voice was quite deep and just after he said this Kayley pushed them further away from the warehouse.

“The truck is nearby, we’ll be safe in a bit but we still have to hurry now!” Kayley looked quite nervous as she started running toward the city that was still a decent distance away.

When Villin turned his head he saw a peculiar sight. Kayley’s dad was floating in mid-air just above the warehouse with his wand in its holster. He was simply holding his hand out in the direction of the warehouse and three seconds later Villin was flabbergasted.

A massive purple fireball was forming in front of the man. First, it was the size of a regular fireball but after these three seconds, the purple fireball was already four times as large as a person.

Then the fireball headed toward the warehouse at a relatively slow pace, it looked like it would take about ten seconds for the fireball to hit the roof of the building.

At this point, he once more drew his wand and pointed it toward the purple fireball. A black streak came out of the wand and the fireball seemed to implode. Within a second it became tiny, but then it suddenly exploded, it exploded into a sea of purple flames, now rapidly falling toward the warehouse, encompassing all of it.

Half a second later hundreds of tiny explosions happened, every time a tiny whist of purple fire hit something it exploded causing whatever it hit to be destroyed.

Within five seconds there was no more warehouse, instead, there was a massive crater on the ground.

And then something moved. At the bottom of the crater stood two figures. Both of them were wearing a regular guard uniform and seemed absolutely unscathed, but now they took off their masks.

“Oh, hey Gerry, it’s been a while!” one of the soldiers looked at the floating mage and said in a happy voice. He had red eyes and long blonde hair, he looked rather handsome.

The other soldier looked a lot more serious, he had the same red eyes but had messy black hair instead. “He didn’t even leave any corpses,” he stated in a slightly annoyed tone.

Kayley’s dad, who he now knew was called Gerry spoke up. “Cut the shit will ya, I don’t feel like waiting till there’s more of you about.”

He had only just said this when he pointed his wand down toward them and four black orbs headed toward the guard duo, the same kind he used to save Villin and his group earlier.

The two people standing at the bottom of the crater didn’t change their expressions, they did, however, use a tiny blade attached to their thumb to cut into their fingers, causing them to bleed.

The black orbs were already halfway there but the duo wasn’t nervous at all. The blond guard still seemed happy and the dark-haired guard still looked somewhat annoyed.

At the exact same time, they moved their right arms and blood came out of the wound on their fingers, this blood then formed a shield in front of them. The black orbs hit these shields of blood but before they could expand the blood engulfed the black orbs, disconnecting it from Gerry’s control.

“Mages?” Villin felt stunned as he stopped running to look at the fight, he had no idea what was going on.

“No.” Kayley heard his exclamation and pulled him by the hand causing him to follow again “They’re not mages, they’re vampires.”

Villin’s eyes widened when he heard this. He knew from the books he read magical beasts existed, hell, without them, bloodlines wouldn’t exist. But he never heard about vampires or anything of the like, neither had he heard of magic beasts staying in the mortal world.

While he thought this the fight continued. As soon as the dark orbs were engulfed by the blood the vampires began sprinting out of the craters, still holding their previous expressions. They were fast, extremely fast.

While they sprinted out of the deep crater at over thirty miles an hour, Gerry was firing off spell after spell. From spears made out of ice to stone barriers to block the path. Meanwhile, with each spell he cast he flew higher, it was clear he wanted to try and stay out of their range and continue bombarding them with spells.

As for the vampires, they simply cut through everything that was thrown at them. They controlled the blood with insane accuracy. One time hundreds of tiny needles made of ice came out of Gerry’s wand and they all headed for the two. Villin thought this would work better since blocking all of those would be impossible but he was wrong. The blood thinned near-instantly and covered their entire front, the icy needles disappeared as soon as they made contact with the blood.

“Come on down now Gerry! Let’s have a fight again! Last time was so much fun!” The blond-haired vampire licked his lips as he looked at the magus that was now directly above them, but well, there was well over thirty meters separating them.

Gerry didn’t entertain him and kept shooting spell after spell, the two vampires just stood beneath them and kept blocking, they seemed to have no interest in trying to attack Gerry from this distance.

Villin quickly understood what they were doing. Right now it was a battle of endurance. Gerry was consuming magic power constantly from both flying and attacking, meanwhile, the vampires were using their blood to block the attacks. Whoever ran out of their respective resource first would lose.

Just when Villin understood this, the blond-haired vampire spoke up again. “Ohhh, he won’t come down! Why don’t you go get the kids, deal with those guys first.” The black-haired vampire simply nodded when he heard his companion’s suggestion.

Then the black-haired man started sprinting right toward them at an insane speed.
