Chapter 119: Dark Vampire Bats I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Dark Mist is not so easy to create. I once thought of creating it and I’ve tried a few times but I don’t have the confidence to do it. So, I gave up at last.”

Holmes shook his head slightly. It turned out that he had tried to create Dark Mist’s Spell Model but he failed.

Usually, the stronger the spell, the more difficult it was to create its Spell Model. Merlin had the analysis of the Matrix, so he could easily create a stable and strong Spell Model.

When Merlin simulated Dark Mist Spell Model in his Awareness, he had already noticed how complicated the Spell Model was. To him, it was the most complicated Spell Model he had ever created until now.

It was no wonder that even Holmes, a genius Four-Elemental Spell Caster, did not have the confidence to create Dark Mist’s Spell Model.

“I’m just lucky,” Merlin said calmly and smiled slightly.

Following that, Merlin looked around. These Elemental Swordsmen were all Third-level and above. If it was before, he could never be able to easily deal with so many Elemental Swordsmen.

Now, just his Dark Mist was enough drove these Elemental Swordsmen into a hallucination and rendered them vulnerable. Merlin was greatly satisfied with the effect of Dark Mist.

“Oh right. You’re here to investigate the Dark Vampire Bats?”

Marquis Barossa suddenly stood up and gave an agitated look.

Holmes stepped forward and nodded. With a cold tone, he said, “That’s right. We came for the Dark Vampire Bats. Do you know what’s the problem with these Dark Vampire Bats?”

Marquis Barossa frowned and replied hesitantly, “These Dark Vampire Bats suddenly appeared three months ago at the outskirts. A few dozen bodies were found, some of their limbs gone and their blood was all sucked dry. Initially, I only ordered my people to investigate this matter. However, before we find the reason for it, I received more news that more bodies were found.”

“Hence, I let Wizard Pario investigate this matter. It’s Darkness-type Elemental Monster, Dark Vampire Bats. So, I let Wizard Pario bring a few Ice Swordsmen to destroy the Dark Vampire Bats’ nest. That’s right. They’ve only left for half a day.”

After hearing Marquis Barossa’s words, Holmes and Merlin exchanged a glance. Holmes said with a heavy tone, “Our mission is to clarify the situation of the Dark Vampire Bats. Just this information is not enough to complete our mission. It seems that we have to find Dark Vampire Bats’ nest to truly grasp the situation.”

Merlin and the others nodded. This mission was difficult because they had to clarify the situation of the Dark Vampire Bats. If they encountered a large number of Dark Vampire Bats, the situation would be dangerous.

Wizard Holmes turned around and said to Marquis Barossa, “Marquis Barossa, we need someone to lead us to the Dark Vampire Bats.”

Marquis Barossa would, of course, love to help. He had heard about the Dark Magic Region, a strong Spell Casters organization. The Spell Casters who came from Spell Casters organization were extremely powerful, far more powerful than the roaming Wizards he had recruited.

The matter with the Dark Vampire Bats was troublesome. If the Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region were willing to help, then the possibility to solve this issue would be greater.

After thinking for a while, Marquis Barossa set his gaze on the skinny roaming Wizard beside him. He said with a low voice, “Wizard Danbe, you know a little about those Dark Vampire Bats. You can lead these Wizards to them.”

Wizard Danbe gave a look to Merlin and the team, then he nodded.

“Let’s go. The earlier we investigate the situation of the Dark Vampire Bats, the earlier we can go back,” Holmes said to Wizard Danbe calmly.

Thus, Wizard Danbe bowed slightly to Marquis Barossa, then brought Merlin and the team out of the castle.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of intense crashing noise exploded. A few dozen bodies lied all over a spacious ground in the forest.

These bodies were mostly covered in blood with some of their limbs missing. Moreover, there were also many bat-like monsters with bodies gleaming in a bloody red. They spat out a bright red light while engulfing the bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the bodies rapidly dried out. All their blood had been absorbed into the bats’ mouths.

“Ice Cleave!”

Suddenly, a terrifying icy air wrapped around the bats and froze them. The frozen bats crashed onto the ground into smithereens.

The place was currently in the middle of an intense fight. It was extremely cruel. There were two Wizards, a strong Fifth-level Ice Swordsmen and a few dozen Fourth-level Ice Swordsmen hanging onto the battle in difficulty.

“D*mn it. There are too many Dark Vampire Bats. We can’t get out of here. Wizard Pario, what do we do?”

Marshal Wharton’s body was giving off a terrifying icy aura as he howled.

Wizard Pario’s expression was dark as well. He glanced at his side as his people gradually decreased. Trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, he glanced at the two dark caves behind him. He said in a heavy tone, “Since we can’t get out, then we should go into the caves. I’m sure these two caves are the nests of the Dark Vampire Bats. Destroying their nests in there may give us a slim chance of survival.”

“Go!”

Wizard Pario and Marshal Wharton led the team and chose one of the caves under the endless attack of Dark Vampire Bats. They quickly went into the cave.

Dark Vampire Bats, their bodies gleaming in an eerie red, let out a sharp screeching sound. Then, they flew into the two dark and mysterious caves. Only the bloody corpses were left lying around outside the caves.

“Swoosh!”

After a while, two figures quietly appeared outside the caves. They watched the bodies on the ground with a complicated look. The intense bloody stench made them sick.

“Capace, what should we do? Father and Wizard Pario seem to be in danger...”

These two were Capace and Catherine who had followed Wizard Pario and the team sneakily. They witnessed the cruel battle outside of the caves with their own eyes. It was obvious that the situation Wizard Pario and the others were in was extremely dire. They were forced to go into the caves.

The usually fearless Catherine could not help but become pale looking at the bodies now. Fear crawled across her face.

The tall Capace was slightly calmer. He took a glance at the dark caves and said in a heavy tone, “Wizard Pario and Father are both in danger. They’re forced to hide in the caves. We must quickly go back to Donglin City and report to Sir Marquis. He’ll send his man to save Father, Wizard Pario, and the others.”

Catherine was out of any idea now. She quickly nodded and agreed. “Right. Let’s quickly go back to Donglin City. If we’re late, I’m afraid Father will be in great danger.”

“Shriek!”

Just when the two were about to leave, sharp noises echoed from the dark caves. Many gleaming Dark Vampire Bats rushed out of the caves in a frenzy and dived toward Capace and Catherine.

“Not good. We’re found. Let’s go quickly!”

Capace’s expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled out the sword on his back and took hold of the shivering Catherine as they dashed into the forest.
