【 Vox POV 】

"We are almost done here!"

"This doll is really powerful, Hime being able to summon it is amazing!" (Gill)

"Now let's head back!" (Gunther)

As Gunther said that, a bright light flash from the village.

"Don't tell me!"

"I am....sorry...malfunction..." (Alice)

"Huh?"

The doll disappeared.

"What the?..." (Gill)

"No time...let's head back!"

【 Army general POV】

"Blood Spikes!" (Seleca)

Spikes appeared on the floor of blood aiming at me.

I dodge it by going backwards, but the spikes followed me.

"Divine Liー"

I was interrupted by the approaching Treants and the flying arrows, because of it my magic is interrupted and I was hit by the blood spikes.

Though it didn't deal much damage because I was protected by my armor.

The blood witch approached me while holding a sword made from blood.

She swung her sword furiously, I parried it with my light saber resulting her blood sword dispersing and returning to its liquid state, but due to the flood of blood on the ground she can make another one, this is really annoying.

As she charges and point her sword, jump from the right and kick her abdomen sending her away.

The Treants also approaches me from the back, I cut them to pieces with my light saber.

"Let's get serious right now!"

I approached the woman that wield the bow and punch her in the face and kick her right side.

A red blade appeared in front of me and I block it with my light saber.

The blood witch started to chant and gather all the blood on the surroundings.

"Thy the blood moon shall bring its light tonight, the red water that flows within me shall rampage forth, the call of thirst shall be sated, 【Arcane art 《 Blood Queen 》 】" (Seleca)

Her body turn dark and the blood has been absorb to her body.

I can feel the killing intent from her, I know this feeling, and it’s the thirst of a vampire.

She approaches me in an incredible speed and bare her claws and fangs. She attack me with her claw and scratch my armor, I fix my stance and swung my light saber.

My attack was block by a shield of blood.

Then my right was struck by a spear of blood sending me flying.

I stand up and regain my posture, since this woman is worth a fight, I should give it my all too.

"Thy light is divine, thy light is pure, thy light shall be my sword, give me divinity, 【 Arcane art: 《 Holy knight 》】"

My body is envelop with light element and I acquired a new armor.

A transparent wings appeared on my back giving a strong glow, my sword also have been upgraded and turn into a holy lance.

Arcane arts are a major skill that consumes a massive amount of mana in order to be activated, in my current mana, I can only keep up for about an hour and that woman also will not last long.

"Prepare yourself vampire!"

The woman in front of me has the intention to kill.

But....this is weird, she is not looking at me.

"The roots of the underworld shall pull you down, the monstrous plant that devours all shall grow, and the devil plant will bloom, 【 Arcane art: 《 Mandragora 》】" (Felt)

An earthquake occurred and a giant stem appeared on the ground with a huge bud, the bud blooms and giant roots appeared on the ground.

A flower with giant teeth and massive roots with claws.

I forgot the user of the Treants, but using his arcane art make him fell on the ground trembling.

"Devour!!! MANDRAGORA!!" (Felt)

With his last strength he shouted.

The mandragora screech and swing its roots at me, each root that attack me have been cut, but the regeneration of this plant is faster than I thought.

"Holy Ray!"

I point my lance at it and burst a ray of light.

The ray cut some of its roots, it hit the mandragora.

As I thought, but a giant wall of blood has stop my ray.

How can she still move, having that form for too long will consume her mana.

My mana is also getting drained while maintaining this form.

It will not be long until we both hit our last drop.

The roots regrow and trample the land while the vampire ran through the moving roots heading at me.

"COME!!! UNDEAD CLAN!!"

【 Vetys's POV】

After I close my eyes and meditate, all sounds and noises from my surroundings are lost.

After a while, I open two new portals.

The speed is faster now, but I'm worried about the people out there while I'm meditating.

Alice seem to return to the staff, only ten more houses and all of them will be safely transferred.

Huh? I can hear faint sounds of clashing, maybe the army reach this place, but I know that this eight people are strong to protect this clan.

Almost there, only two more.

Huh? I hear something, somebody yelled Merry's name.

I'm almost there, just wait.

Done.

Now let's open my eyes.
