Chapter 456: A Mass Destruction Team.

25,597KM from the city of Warfall.

A few hours later, a group of Valkyries, and a man sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, were seen. They were in a cave created by Eleanor.

“…it was a trap,” Eleanor commented with a sour tone after a long time of silence.

“Indeed, that Alpha planned it all. He even sacrificed his kind…” Rose narrowed her eyes as she placed her hand on her chin; she recalled the Alpha’s words.

“These abominations are the result of not sending our kind to a battlefield with immortal monsters.”

‘Does that Alpha not consider himself the same species as those monsters? Because of that, can he sacrifice them so easily?’ Rose was doubtful. Even though the trap was dangerous, and they only survived because Victor acted quickly, the encounter had many questions left out.

To be honest, Rose didn’t understand much about Alphas. Who were they, what was their command structure, do they eat? Do they have sex?

They had been fighting for a long time, but there was only very little information about these Alphas.

WarFall specialized in technology derived from monsters and in the biology of monsters, but if they were going to talk about Alphas, they knew next to nothing.

“We only survived because Victor acted quickly…” Dorothy muttered.

“…” The girls gave a small nod.

“We were close to him, yet we didn’t feel a thing…” Martha commented as Alexa nodded.

“…As far as I know, the Noble of Clan Fulger, who have such a mastery over lightning, perceive the world differently from us…” Rose said.

“What do you mean?” Judy asked

“If they wish, they can see everything as slowly as if it were standing still. Considering the level at which Victor’s mastery has reached, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was capable of that too.” She finished her explanation.

“… I see; if that’s why I’m not surprised he noticed everything…” Alexa said.

While the girls were talking about what had happened,

Victor opened his eyes and saw a woman with long brown hair, black eyes, and a gentle expression on her face.

“The poison in your body must have been completely eliminated by now…” Anrietha explained with a tired sigh. She had been using her power for hours to stop the poison in Victor’s body from progressing any further.

Of course, Victor’s superior body also helped a lot. A few hours later, Victor’s own blood was healing him, but it was a fact that Anrietha greatly accelerated this process.

“Thank you, Anrietha.” He smiled kindly.

“…Thank you, you saved me not only once but twice…” Her face darkened as she remembered the ‘Predator’s attack.’

They are a stealthy class of monsters, completely silent, they can camouflage themselves and kill their prey so fast you wouldn’t even know how they were killed.

‘Good thing they were just winged predators. If it were those terrestrial abominations, the battle would have been much more difficult.’ Anrietha.

“… Are you okay?”

“Just tired… My technique uses more energy than my own powers.”

“I see…” Victor removed his black gauntlet and said:

“Come here.”

“…?” Looking at Victor’s smooth arm, she commented,

“Are you sure…?”

“Yes. You took care of me the whole time; the least I can do is help you regain your strength. I can’t drink your blood because it’s toxic to me, but you can drink mine.”

“….” Anrietha turned slightly red when she heard what Victor said.

‘He wanted to drink my blood… L-Lewd.’

In Vampire culture, letting another Vampire drink your blood is a very intimate thing. Anrietha felt complicated because he didn’t offer his neck, not that she would accept it or anything, but… Ugh.

‘Stop thinking nonsense! That’s just the suspension bridge effect! You are a warrior, don’t fall for these tricks!’ She shook her head several times to clear her mind of inappropriate thoughts.

“Mm…” She nodded and gently took Victor’s arm.

“A little warning, don’t drink too much blood, just drink enough to recover fully.”

“Okay…” Bringing her mouth closer to Victor’s arm, she bit.

“!!!” Anrietha’s eyes opened wide, and her eyes turned blood red.

‘It’s so tasty!!’

Gulp, Gulp.

“…..” The girls turned to face Anrietha and Victor and saw this scene.

“Ahhh! Anrietha, you sneaky, how can you!?” Dorothy and Martha screamed at the same time.

“Sneaky girl…” Juliet muttered.

Eleanor’s eyes were trembling badly now.

“Are you alright, Victor?” Rose ignored the noise of the girls and the state of their leader and asked:

“Yes… I’m completely fine… Yes… Completely…” Victor’s eyes briefly flashed blood red, and at that moment, all the girls felt a bloodlust that paralyzed them momentarily.

“…Are you angry?” Eleanor asked.

“Yes, I’m irritated.”

“You shouldn’t, monsters are like that-.” Eleanor was going to explain that Victor shouldn’t be angry because monsters will always do that.

“I’m not angry with the monster. He’s our enemy. What he did was something I would do… I’m angry with myself.” Victor interrupted Eleanor.

‘From now on, I won’t make the same mistake again; I’ll always keep my fucking skill active.’ Victor thought to himself.

If he had constantly been using his ability to check the environment, he would have noticed the traps, and because of his carelessness, everyone almost died.

“….” A silence fell around them, and at that moment, Anrietha stopped drinking Victor’s blood.

All the girls took a deep breath for a few seconds when they smelled Victor’s blood, but they controlled themselves when they heard Anrietha’s voice:

“Thanks, I’m fully recovered now.”

He smiled a little as he stroked Anrietha’s head:

“…You’re welcome.”

“What do we do now?”

“We should back off-.” Rose was going to suggest backing off, but she was interrupted by Victor’s words.

“Of course we advance.” Victor placed the gauntlet back on his hand.

“….”

“Go back because we almost died? Non-sense.” Victor got up from the ground and turned towards the cave exit:

“The danger of death was something we all knew when we went on this expedition.”

“This time…” Slowly Victor’s face began to change and become formless. Victor’s demonic, age-old voice echoed through the cave:

“That bastard will taste despair.”

…

35,541 KM away from WarFall.

“They are back.” The Alpha commented when he saw the image of a group advancing through the forest:

“And they came back more determined.” He analyzed when he saw them killing the monsters without stopping running.

“Even that woman who never fought is helping this time…” He commented as he looked at Rose.

“Does that change anything?” He heard the voice of another being close to him.

He turned his face, and saw someone very much like him, with just different colors of scales.

“That doesn’t change anything, My Son.”

“They are invaders, and invaders will die.” The Alpha’s reptilian eyes gleamed dangerously.

“…All for our god.”

“Sending out the level 0-3 monster hordes, we will eliminate the Adrastea bloodline today.” The Alpha spoke as he left the room.

“Yes, Father.” The son walked over to a medieval yet strangely advanced device. He clicked a few buttons, and the image soon changed to the monsters coming out of their cages.

…

“Hordes of Minions, Ogres, and 10 Behemoths are approaching.” Victor spoke.

“Judy, Juliet, keep your eyes on the skies, if you see any dragon class monsters let me know immediately.”

“Yes!”

“Dorothy, give me your weapons.”

“Yes!” Dorothy took out her two swords and gave them to Victor.

“Junketsu, be kind.” He handed his Odachi to Dorothy.

Dorothy picked up the Odachi carefully, and sighed in relief when she felt that nothing had happened. She really felt apprehensive about this Odachi.

“Clashing out in 3… 2… 1…” The group stopped running and saw a horde of monsters.

“Eleanor, it’s your turn.” Victor and the group of Valkyries ascend to the sky and begin to float.

“Leave it to me.” She jumped in front of Victor, her eyes glowed blood red, and a bronze colored aura left her body, and soon she punched the ground.

“ORAAAAAA!”

Quake, quake, quake.

At the same instant the earth began to shake, an earthquake was happening!

The monsters began to lose their balance, and fell due to the earth shaking.

And 5 seconds later, a large rift appeared and engulfed more than a third of the horde.

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble.

The skies began to fill with clouds, a great storm was coming.

Suddenly.

FUSHHHHHHHHH!

A burst of power soared into the heavens, and seconds later, Victor appeared in a completely changed form, the initial form of the Vampire Count of Clan Fulger.

“Horde of predators coming from the sky, I will take care of them.” Victor squeezed Dorothy’s daggers a little tighter, and soon the daggers were covered by lightning, forming two Lightning swords.

“Anrietha, Rose, I’ll leave it to you.” In the next moment, he disappeared leaving streaks of lightning.

Victor passed through the sky and attacked the ‘air’, and then moved on, but a few seconds later when Victor was gone, they all saw a monster appear as it fell towards the ground with its body cut in half.

Looking for a few seconds at the lightning dancing in the air as monsters fell to the ground dead, Rose ordered:

“Anrietha, it’s your turn.”

“Yes!” Anrietha took hold of her priestess staff and spun around, saying:

“@$%!”

A white power covered every girl’s body, and that power seemed to form a second skin.

Anrietha spun the staff twice more.

And soon a red and green power covered the girls.

“Defense, attack and speed amplified, I need time to cast the next spell.” Anrietha spoke as she replaced her staff with the shield on her back.

She removed her sword from the shield sheath, and held the greatsword in one hand.

“This is enough.” Rose nodded her head satisfied.

“Eleanor!”

“Yes!” Eleanor clapped her hands together.

“Divide.”

Quake, Quake, Quake.

Another earthquake started to happen in a different region, and soon pillars of more than 20 meters were created in a straight line at a distance of more than 1 KM.

Finished with her technique, Elenor grabbed the Greatsword from her back, and jumped towards the group in the air.

“Judy, Juliet, support me with your weapons, Martha, Alexa, Dorothy and Anrietha, let’s kill these monsters.” When Eleanor was about to leave, she stopped when she heard Dorothy.

“Wait, Wait, I have no weapon!”

Eleanor looked at Dorothy, and replied:

“Are you sure? Look once more at the weapons you’re holding.”

“…?” Dorothy looked at the Odachi -… Two swords!?

“When did he switch weapons!?” She looked up to the sky where Victor was and saw that he had already killed all the predators.

“He’s in Clan Fulger’s Vampire Count form, don’t be surprised.” Eleanor laughed, and then her expression turned serious.

“Let’s kill these monsters.”

“Yes!”

Anrietha, surprisingly, was the first to move. She threw her Greatsword on the ground, and this created a large crater, the next moment, she disappeared and appears in the crater, taking hold of her greatsword, and sheathed it in her shield. She clicked a button on her shield, and soon sharp blades appeared all over its surface and edges.

She leapt into the air, and with one thrust, she threw the shield at the monsters.

“I won’t stand on the side this time, creatures!” Anrietha’s eyes glowed blood red. She was very angry. It hurt in her warrior pride to be saved from danger several times like a tragic heroine.

ROAAAAAAAAAR.

The monsters’ screams of pain were heard as the shield literally tore apart everything around it as it spun.

Anrietha took the priestess staff, chanted some strange words, and pointed to her shield, and soon, the group could see a small ‘line’ holding the shield.

Anrietha said another strange word, and soon the shield multiplied in two.

At this same instant, Anrietha dodged the acid attack that was thrown from an Ogre’s mouth. She looked at the ogre with her monster eyes glowing dangerously.

Unconsciously, the Ogre took a step back, but he was just too slow.

Anrietha appeared in front of him and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying away.

“Disgusting creature, go spit on your fucking mother.”

Anrietha kept her staff behind her, and, using both of her hands, she began to control the two weapons as if they were puppets.

A dark aura began to form around her:

“Do… you… think… I’m… weak!?” With every word she spoke, a 50-foot behemoth was split in half like butter, followed by ogres and minions who were caught in the effects of the attack.

The shields with blades were tearing apart everything in its path, blood was flying around and painting the ‘gentle womans’ body completely.

Gulp…

“Remind me again not to piss off Anrietha…” Dorothy commented.

“Yes…” The girls spoke in unison.

“It’s like they say, the quietest and gentlest are the cruelest when provoked.” Rose laughed.

Eleanor awoke from her stupor, and says:

“Let’s continue!”

“Yes!”

Eleonor, Martha, Dorothy and Alexa jumped in the middle of the enemies and started killing them.

Judy and Julieta stay behind.

Judy picked up her two deagles and pointed to a Behemoth Horde of varying sizes that was approaching the group.

‘I’ll take care of them before they call more minions.’

Her two hands began to change, the two Deagles began to merge with her hand, and completely changed to become two Deagles with spikes, and with green power emanating from the entire body of the weapon.

Judy’s monster eyes began to glow slightly, and a dark aura left her body, then she whispered.

“Predatory Extinction.”

BOOOOOOOM!

A gigantic beam of red light shot through the air, hitting the first 20 meter Behemoth.

ROAAAAAAAAAR.

The Behemoth roared, it used its head shell as a form of defense, and continued forward.

Judy’s eyes glowed even brighter, and she increased the power output, and the effect was instantaneous.

The beam passed through the monster, and all monsters behind it, forming a straight line of destruction.

“Thanks for the food…” Judy burped a little.
