Evan and the others moved carefully through the tunnels. To their surprise, they didn't encounter a single vampire. What's more, every room they entered was completely empty. It wasn't at all like a large base with a lot of vampires living in it.
Evan thought as they entered another empty room.
Suddenly Bas stopped them and said quietly, "I have a theory. I believe that the vampires have all gathered together in the sa room and are watching Miss Laila. Maybe they've already left here, but that's unlikely.. Then there would be no guards at the entrance. If I'm right, there will be a major battle. I have to warn you about sothing."
Evan thought.
"First, prioritize using fire spells and light magic spells. Vampires have little resistance to these elents. Secondly, be vigilant, there may well be other vampires capable of using blood magic besides that woman."
thought Evan.
"Commander, what are we going to do?" Asked the girl.
Bas hesitated and, after a while, answered, "Originally I wanted to attack the vampires and rescue Miss Laila stealthily, but given the situation, we won't be able to do that. I have only two options: the first is to try to negotiate, and the second is to attack head-on."
He wanted to avoid a head-on collision with so many vampires, but it was impossible. All the vampires were in one place and watched all the entrances to this room.
Only four tunnels were leading into this large room, and at least five vampires were watching each of them. There was no way a team of mages could have gotten close by stealthily.
"Commander, are you sure? I don't think we have any chance of negotiating with them." One of Bas's n said worriedly.
"Don't worry about , as soon as I give the signal, then attack with all your might. Don't be afraid to hurt Miss Laila with your attacks, I'm sure this barrier is pretty solid since it's a formation and not a simple spell."
At the edge of the barrier inside which Laila was, there were several stakes and pierced scrolls. This was clear evidence that it was a formation.
The group mbers nodded, and Bas stepped forward. He wanted to negotiate. Bas understood that if they fought, even if they won, most of their group would die. There were about forty vampires and only sixteen mages. There were two and a half tis as many opponents. It was a significant advantage.
Of course, Bas alone could easily kill five vampires or seven vampires. Besides Bas, so pretty strong n were in the squad. They could kill about three vampires. But, the enemies also had strong opponents like Nessa.
When Bas ca out of the tunnel, all the vampires turned their attention to him. They imdiately prepared for battle. Their eyes filled with blood and sharp fangs appeared from their mouths.
"I've co to make a deal," Bas said coldly.
Nessa stepped forward and said rudely, "What? You want a deal? You killed our comrades, and you dare show your face to us? We'll tear you to pieces like a filthy pig!"
Bas frowned, "I'm dead serious, if you give us Miss Laila, we won't fight you, and we won't harass you anymore. We just want to bring Miss Laila ho."
Nessa made a thoughtful expression on her face. She stared at Bas and said with a smile, "Kill him!"
At the exact mont, dozens of vampires attacked Bas. Bas's comrades backed him up and attacked him back. The spatial ring on Nessa's finger glowed, and a scarlet spear appeared in her hands. Nessa gripped her weapon tighter and threw the spear toward Bas from behind all her strength.
Bas reacted quickly and summoned his weapon. It was a long, wooden, white staff with an inlaid azure crystal. He quickly cast a spell, and a wall of ice appeared before him.
To his surprise, Nessa's spear easily shattered the wall and continued to fly on, but the weapon's trajectory was slightly altered. Bas could dodge, but Nessa wasn't about to allow him to attack again.
She lunged toward him, intent on sinking her long claws into his flesh. The crystal on Bas's staff glowed, and mana began to accumulate at his hands.
In a second, their attacks should have reached each other, but suddenly there was a blur of speed between Bas and Nessa.
Bam.
Evan punched Nessa in the side. His blow was so hard that one of her ribs cracked, and she went flying. Nessa slamd into the wall with a rumble. Bas was surprised at speed Evan had reached. He was able to achieve this thanks to using Ghost Step and Lucifer's Shackles simultaneously.
All Amplification Magic spells could only be used on a certain body part. Evan couldn't cast Ghost Step on his arms, for example. However, Lucifer's Shackles were different. They were similar to Amplification Magic spells but slightly different.
Eventually, in one leap, Evan could cross the ten ter mark and bring his blow down on Nessa. A small crater ford under his feet at the mont of the spurt, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Evan didn't stop there. He turned back into a blur and, a second later, hit Nessa with his fist. His punch was powerful enough to send Nessa flying aside and smashing through several walls in the tunnels.
For the next few seconds, the entire ground shook. Every vampire and mage could feel the shudder beneath their feet and the muffled echoes of the blows.
But if anyone had been watching Evan attack Nessa, they would have noticed that half of the blows Evan was deliberately sending past the target. He wasn't going to kill Nessa now, he was taking her off the battlefield with his actions.
