120 3.32 The Clubs - Part 3

Two of them came charging at me from above.

At this point, it looked like a desperate attempt because that was clearly a foolish move. But I had no reason to be kind after everything they did to the city.

I fired two fire arrows at them, and as soon as the arrow touched their body, they started burning.

Instead of coming at me, the five that were left attacked Zagan. This gave me the opportunity to attack them while he was keeping them distracted.

I shot the two that were attacking him from above with fire arrows, while Zagan dodged the three that were attacking him from the front by moving backward.

The three of them looked at each other's faces. It looked like they were finally getting scared. 

They tried flying away, but there was no way I was letting them escape after everything they did. I raised myself up in the sky and attacked them with fire arrows. All three of them fell on the ground and started burning.

"Burn in hell bloodsuckers."

Even though I knew they were no longer here to listen, this just felt right.

"Let's move ahead. With this much miasma, whoever they are summoning must be insane."

After Zagan said that, we moved little forward on what was once the main street of the residential district. At this point, it was just filled with rubbles and burned woods.

A little further on that street was an old house that looked abandoned. Since this part of the town was close to the brothel, very few decent families lived around these parts.

The entire house was covered in the thick miasma, so it was obvious that this was our destination. Though even if we weren't able to sense the miasma, that would have been obvious since all the nearby houses had been destroyed except this one.

The two of us walked up to the door, but before I could do anything, Zagan broke the door open.

Normally, a good strategy would have been to sneak in. But at this point, it was somewhat obvious that they already knew we were here.

The sitting room was empty with nothing except cobwebs there. But I could smell a stink of rotten meat inside.

When we saw that the sitting room was empty, we walked towards the other room. As we walked forward the stink got stronger and stronger.

"Oh god!"

The sight in front of me was hard to believe. There were several dead bodies of women lying on the floor. If I had to count, there were over a dozen of them.

"Bloodsuckers lived here, so that's not surprising."

It was obvious that what we were looking for wasn't there. So, instead of thinking about it too much, both of us moved forward. But even as I tried thinking about something else, the sight that I just saw was still my head.

'I will surely get a few nightmares because of that.'

We checked the two rooms that were close to the stairs, and like the ones before, they were empty. So, the two of us walked towards the final room.

It looked like the door wasn't locked, so I opened the door and sent a gust of wind inside. The aim was to startle the enemy if they were inside.

Inside, there was a large magic circle. And in the center of that circle, a man wearing a similar dark cloak as the vampires that we fought earlier was seated. He had a bite wound in his hand from which the blood was dripping.

By the smell, I could tell that the circle was made up of fresh blood. So, I looked around just to find Goro lying unconscious on the corner.

"You made it right in time. All this circle needed was a final drop of blood," the vampire said without even looking at us.

"I won't let you do it," I said as I shot a fire arrow at him. But he dodged it by bending to his right at an incredible speed.

"Now the conditions are met. You have no means to stop me," the Vampire replied.

I created a Flame sword in my right hand, and right when I was about to attack him, I sensed something outside. It felt like all the miasma around this house was now being collected at a point.

"Looks like it's happening again. These damn fools never learn," Zagan said while looking at the ceiling.

The entire house, no the entire city, started shaking. I was feeling almost the same level of power that I felt from Olive when she had finally used her magic.

In my weak state, I was by no means ready to fight an enemy of that level. My body was at its limit and if I tried using more power, I would obviously faint.

"Hahaha… Enjoy the little time that you have humans. Not just this city, but the whole nation will be destroyed now."

For once, I forgot that he was right there because of what I sensed. The wound in his hand had already started healing at this point.

"Zagan, what do you think we should do now?" I looked towards Zagan and asked.

While I was distracted, the vampire used this opportunity to attack me with his claws. His speed was a lot faster than the others, but unlike how it looked, we were still keeping an eye on him.

I dodged his claws in the nick of time by moving leftward, and because of that, he lost his balance. Zagan, who was standing next to me, used this opportunity to kick him in the back of his neck. And when he fell on the floor, I thrust my Flame sword right through his back.

He too started burning like the other vampires.

"My suggestion would be to let things be and save yourself. But I know you won't do that, so maybe let your spirits purify the miasma around."

"But I would faint the instant I let Flare out."
