Chapter 162 Undercover Mission (4) - Fairy Mountains

The Fairy Mountains took a beating and turned into a desolated area. Well, that was only the case inside the fairy illusion, as the real Fairy Mountains were still the same.

No one would believe if they saw that attack in person. How was a person capable of releasing such force? The entire area did not have trees anymore, and an enormous hole made everything look hopeless.

Arthur flew above the desolated area, looking for the fairy who cast the illusion. There were no trees or bushes for it to hide, therefore Arthur found the fairy in no time.

A fairy looked like a small human with wings, and a flute, whoever when Arthur got close to it, the cute appearance changed, and the fairy opened up its mouth which had long sharp teeth like a shark.

“Just die and let me out of this illusion.”

He was not playing around or giving the fairy any change to retaliate. Arthur wielded his two-handed sword and cut the fairy in half.

With the increase in all of his attributes back at the dungeon, he had an astonishing speed, and his figure blurred as he slashed the fairy.

The members of the squad watched all of it from afar, and even they could not see Arthur’s movements. It was beyond their expectations.

“He’s a strong mage and faster than a melee warrior? What is this?”

Arthur was someone above their level, therefore it was understandable for them to react like that. Anyway, after the fairy was dealt with, they all returned to reality, waking up in the middle of the Fairy Mountains, near the river.

In front of them was a fairy, cut in half, just like Arthur did back inside the illusion.

They sighed in relief. “We are safe for now, but we should keep moving!” Arthur did not disagree with that, and they continue their journey through the Fairy Mountains.

Fairies weren’t the only dangers inside that place, and the deeper they went, the stronger the beasts became. Many monsters, but they were easily dealt with, until certain point.

Arthur took a peek and saw 3 young male and 1 young woman happily chatting around a campfire. At first glance, they looked like normal humans, but Arthur noticed their red-eyes and sharp fangs.

“Vampires.”

He looked at all the others, and everyone had already understood the situation. They were getting closer to the Dragon Scale Empire, so finding members of the dark races was not uncommon, and was actually expected.

One thing Arthur knew was that they did not have to worry about getting Vampirism and turning into a vampire. It was not as easy as it seemed, and a vampire had to do a whole ritual to turn into someone else.

Whoever, vampires were not an easy prey. Supernatural strength, senses, and strange blood spells that few people knew about.

Everyone activated their invisibility spells to hide from them. A vampire had a powerful sight, hearing, and everything. Getting near them without a stealth ability was just plain stupid, and none of them would try that.

They couldn’t talk, or else it would alert them, therefore all their communication was done with signals. It wasn’t the best type of communication, but the one they would have to use at that moment.

What was the best way to kill a vampire? Using fire. Arthur would have a good time fighting those bastards.

Each member of the squad hid behind a tree, circling the vampires, who hadn’t noticed their arrival. Arthur made a signal, saying that he would attack first and draw their attention, then the rest of them would do a surprise attack.

Arthur was the one that wanted to do the surprise attack using a fire spell, and end the lives of those vampires in an instant, but he couldn’t do that.

If someone else from their squad draw the attention, then they could end up dead. Arthur was the only one confident enough to face all of those vampires and live to tell the story.

When Arthur was 6 meters away from the vampires, he exerted the strength on his legs, and dashed towards them at a fast speed. Branding his two-handed sword, a slash was sent to the back of one vampire, who could not believe someone was doing a stealth attack on them.

A deep wound from the back of the shoulder to the lower back. Nasty. Blood flowed from the wound non-stop, and the vampire screamed in both rage and pain.

“Who the fuck are you? A human insect?”

The vampire cursed towards Arthur, whoever it was, all in vain. Another sword slash came, and this time, the vampire lost its head.

All the other vampires retreated a few steps, putting their weapons high, preparing for the fight. They would not underestimate that human, therefore one vampire chanted their blood magic, which was both strong and unpredictable.

Arthur saw it, and tried to focus on that caster, but two lines of blood coming from the vampire’s dead body circled around his legs, trapping him in place.

“Is the vampire using the blood of the fallen comrade?”

Now, without a chance to move, the blood magic from that vampire was done, and a spike of blood shot towards Arthur, piercing his chest, and sending him flying towards one tree.

The attack looked fierce, but at the end, the amount of HP it took away from Arthur was mediocre, and it shouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with them.

Receiving an attack pumped up his adrenaline, as it had been a while since someone gave him a decent fight.

“Let’s go, you sucker. Suck this!” Arthur yelled.

There was an attack that he had not used in a long time. The Void Step. In a moment Arthur was there, and in the other he wasn’t.

Even the vampires were surprised, as they had never seen something like that. After one second, a sound echoed through the woods.

Another vampire had lost its head, and this time, it was the one who cast the blood spike.

“My attack kills differently from yours.”
