Chapter 313: Chapter 232: Final Battle! Vampire Semi-Divine Artifact [Thorny Giant Sword], [Eye of Judgment]
He radiated a frenzied aura.
The wings on his back, previously only slightly unfurled, now grew immense.
A bloody light flowed across the membranes, their edges as sharp as blades.
His blood-red eyes held nothing but pure resentment and a thirst for revenge.
A careful assessment of the aura emanating from Vampire Viscount Hercules revealed he had reached the Ninth Level!
This was the same Level as the Heroic Clan and the elite Elf Mages in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm!
Behind Vampire Viscount Hercules were thousands of Bloodline members who had undergone the Blood Moon Ceremony with him and survived.
Their bodies had also transformed.
They were larger, their claws sharper, and their bat-like wings were fully spread.
The auras they exuded had all reached the Seventh Level, crossing the threshold of High Level Power!
A flicker passed through Instructor Li Qiongtian’s consciousness.
’Two Ninth Level Vampires.
’One is so bent on revenge that he doesn’t even care about his own life.
’The other has been stuck at Ninth Level Power for a long time, having already perfected his Vampire-exclusive combat techniques.
’Add to that a Vampire Corps of several thousand at the Seventh Level, plus a Vampire Regular Army of nearly one hundred thousand!’
’This time, Zhang Yi’s defensive line is facing a massive crisis!’
However, Instructor Li Qiongtian, with only a sliver of his consciousness present, did not see a shadow on the Blood-colored Plain where the Blood Moon Ceremony had been held, stirring slightly.
Having apparently received the order for an all-out assault,
Vampire Viscount Hercules, at the very front of the Vampire Corps, abruptly raised his head and rallied his troops with a cry.
"For eternal Darkness! For the great Vampire Ancestor! For the Vampire Count!"
"Kill every Clan member you see! Convert them into Blood Slaves! Crush everything! Conquer everything!"
"Kill—!"
The Bloodline members who had undergone the Blood Moon Ceremony alongside Vampire Viscount Hercules let out a deafening roar.
They then followed Vampire Viscount Hercules, surging into the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate.
Count Yin Hai the Vampire glanced back at the Dark Plane, then at the corps led by Vampire Viscount Hercules, before moving to the center of his army.
Instructor Li Qiongtian withdrew his consciousness, emerging from the Teleportation Gate to look toward Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm.
Back in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm, the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate, which had been dormant for three days, suddenly expanded, casting a blinding crimson light over the surroundings.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Dwarf and Elf defenders on the War Fortress,
a Ninth Level Blood Beast—capable of shifting its form by controlling its own blood and bones—was the first to emerge from the gate!
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The trap Magic set around the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate by the Elf Mages—such as the Ninth Level Spell: Firmament of Flames, the Ninth Level Spell: Lava Sinkhole, and the Ninth Level Spell: Flame Storm... all these spells had been placed around the gate as if they cost no Mana at all.
The moment the Blood Beast stepped out of the Teleportation Gate, they were all triggered!
Even for a Blood Beast as large as a small mountain and also at the Ninth Level, it was impossible to withstand so many consecutive Ninth Level Fire Attribute spells, especially when they were imbued with a Holy Attribute.
The bursting flames and the radiance of the Holy Light scorched the Blood Beast’s skin. Its blood sizzled, releasing thick black smoke.
"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!"
The Blood Beast roared in pain.
Its body, once as massive as a small mountain, rapidly shrank until it was only a few meters tall.
At the same time, its most precious core—its beating heart—was forcibly exposed!
However, the Blood Beast’s sacrifice had also triggered all the spells laid by the Elf Mages.
For the Vampire Corps, the Blood Beast’s sacrifice was worthwhile!
Immediately after, like a torrential flood, the Bloodline Corps led by Vampire Viscount Hercules swarmed out of the Teleportation Gate!
Four thousand members of the Bloodline Corps emerged, each nearly two meters tall, radiating a Seventh Level aura, and clad in full Armor.
Their eyes burned with madness.
They paid no mind to the flesh and gore of the Blood Beast’s remains scattered around them, nor to the Holy Flame still burning on the chunks of meat.
They let out a unified war cry.
Vampire Viscount Hercules personally led the Bloodline Corps, marching over the remains of the Blood Beast still burning with Holy Flame.
They advanced toward the War Fortress in perfect formation!
The one hundred thousand strong Vampire Regular Army also began to pour out from the Teleportation Gate unendingly.
Once the Vampire Army of over one hundred thousand had stepped out of the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate,
Vampire Viscount Hercules beat his enormous bat-like wings and slowly rose into the air.
The massive Blood-colored Giant Sword in his hand, its hilt wrapped in thorns, was slowly absorbing the blood from his body.
This was the aura of a Semi-Divine Artifact!
The second-in-command to Elf Legion Commander Feiyana wore a grave expression.
But Vampire Viscount Hercules seemed to feel no pain. He flew into the air and pointed his Giant Sword directly at Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, who stood upon the War Fortress.
His frenzied aura, still unstable from just reaching the Ninth Level, mixed with the immense power boost from his Semi-Divine Artifact and his overwhelming resentment.
This furious power surged toward Elf Legion Commander Feiyana.
Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala waved her Crimson Staff.
A barrier formed in front of Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, blocking the attack.
"CLANG!"
"Elf, your time has come!"
Vampire Viscount Hercules snarled, grinding his teeth.
"I’ve changed my mind. Now I’ve decided I’ll kill you with my own hands, turn your corpse into my Blood Slave, and rip out your Soul to burn it day and night in the Blood Flame, forcing you to watch as I defile your body!"
"And your heart will become one of my prized collectibles!"
Vampire Viscount Hercules boasted wildly.
"Look into my eyes, you mongrel!"
"What!"
The words spoken by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana seemed to carry a special magical power.
Vampire Viscount Hercules instinctively looked into Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s emerald-green eyes.
"Eye of Judgment!"
This was a new Talent that Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had unexpectedly awakened after becoming one of the Holy Believers and undergoing a baptism!
Any member of any Clan who made eye contact with Elf Legion Commander Feiyana would face a round of Judgment, a contest of Spiritual Power!
The loser would be spiritually intimidated, falling into a stupor for at least three seconds.
If their luck was even worse, they would see the God of Nature that Elf Legion Commander Feiyana believed in and be attacked by the God of Nature’s phantom image!
And clearly,
Vampire Viscount Hercules, who had just forcibly raised his power through the Blood Moon Ceremony, was not very lucky.
In his spiritual world,
after he met Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s gaze,
her figure became impossibly tall.
Then, a blurry but towering Divine Spirit exuding infinite majesty and the aura of Nature appeared behind her.
The indistinct phantom that appeared behind her seemed connected to all the Nature in the world.
It simply extended a single finger toward him.
A powerful Spiritual Attack slammed violently into Vampire Viscount Hercules’s spiritual world!
"Aaargh—!"
Vampire Viscount Hercules let out a bloodcurdling scream in midair.
It was not physical pain, but excruciating mental agony!
At that moment, he felt the entire Divine Realm he had entered violently rejecting him, as if he were at war with the world itself!
Vampire Viscount Hercules’s arrogant and frenzied aura instantly faltered.
His flapping form in the sky abruptly froze, and his blood-red pupils lost focus as he hung motionless in the air.
This sudden turn of events caused a stir among the Vampire Army!
’Now is the time!’
’Attack with all your might!’
How could Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, whose grasp of battlefield timing was impeccable, pass up such a golden opportunity?
She immediately called for the other Clans to strike!
Elf Legion Commander Feiyana also drew her Semi-Divine Artifact, Natural Fury.
An Arrow, condensed with half of her body’s Fighting Qi, empowered by [Ancient Heaven], and imbued with a Holy Aura,
shot toward Vampire Viscount Hercules, who was now a stationary target in the sky.
How could Elf Legion Commander Feiyana let go of this perfect chance to kick a man while he’s down!
