Chapter 544: Geoff Turns to Fingernail Clippers
Chapter 544: Geoff Turns to Fingernail Clippers
"We can't win, we can't win at all! How can there be so many monsters in this world!
One Adabao is already bad enough, but why is there also a Vampire Ancestor! Since when did demons and vampires start working together? Are these monsters now experts in teamwork?"
Upon seeing Shatiya, it wasn't just Brian who was affected within the Kingdom Adventurer's team.
Ibiluai, who had always been composed and unperturbed, now hugged herself and started trembling uncontrollably.
"Ibiluai, what's wrong with you? Is that guy so terrifying? Is he even stronger than Adabao?"
Seeing Ibiluai's reaction to the vampire across the way, as if she had turned into a frightened little lamb, La Jus and the others were also puzzled. As members of the Crimson Rose, they were well aware of Ibiluai's strength.
Despite Ibiluai's usual arrogant demeanor, her abilities were genuinely impressive.
In fact, the strongest member of the Crimson Rose team wasn't their leader but Ibiluai herself.
Although they were teammates, the combined strength of the other four might not even be a match for Ibiluai alone.
Ibiluai was the one who could rival the world's strongest spell singer. And after adventuring together for so long, this was the first time they had seen Ibiluai, who was usually arrogant and looked down on everyone, display such fear.
When facing Adabao earlier, Ibiluai was surprised by his power but didn't seem as terrified as she was now.
Ibiluai's reaction made them feel like a mouse encountering a cat, a dimensional strike. The reason Ibiluai feared Shatiya so much was that they were both vampires.
However, compared to Ibiluai, who had 'destroyed nations', Shatiya was the Vampire Ancestor, the highest-ranking vampire!
This world had racial suppression, especially among the same race. As a vampire, Ibiluai naturally felt fear towards Shatiya, the Vampire Ancestor.
And because they were both vampires, she understood better than anyone at that moment just how powerful the vampire before them was!
The battle hadn't even officially started, and their second-in-command was already scared out of her wits by the opponent's new character, causing the Kingdom's side, which already lacked fighting spirit, to lose all will to fight instantly.
Adabao was already so strong, and now there was a vampire who seemed even more dangerous. Continuing this fight would be suicidal.
When the first Kingdom soldier couldn't bear the pressure and dropped his spear to flee, it triggered a chain reaction, and the others followed suit.
Seeing that the demon in front of them wasn't stopping them from running, the Empire's workers, who already lacked professional integrity, also turned and fled without hesitation.
They were only here for the money, not to die for the Kingdom.
With such a huge power gap, this wasn't a battle; it was a suicide mission.
Geoff, the Warrior Marshal, didn't try to stop these deserters because he understood their feelings.
Everyone feared death, and even Brian, a powerful man, had been beaten to the point of shutting down. What about ordinary soldiers?
"Alas, it's sad to part ways so soon after meeting.
But do you really think I'll let my prey escape right before my eyes?
"With a mask concealing her face, Shatiya's eyes glowed with an eerie red light. Two figures then darted out from behind her, moving at incredible speed to pursue the fleeing humans.
In a matter of moments, cries of agony echoed from behind the kingdom's forces, undoubtedly from the escaped soldiers.
Within a few minutes, the wails of despair ceased, and the two vampire brides returned to Shatiya, bowing respectfully. "Lady Shatiya, as you commanded, we have eliminated all the fleeing humans."
"They had lost their will to fight and only wanted to survive. Was it necessary to deny them even that chance?"
Geoff, the kingdom's warrior commander, witnessed the slaughter of his soldiers in such a short time, without even a chance to intervene. His anger surged, and he drew his sword, charging towards Shatiya.
Brian, recalling Mr. Sebastian's teachings, overcame his fear and followed suit, drawing his blade and rushing forward.
The top two swordsmen in the kingdom, Geoff and Brian, were the winners of the Royal Court's Duel Tournament. Many hoped that these two geniuses of the kingdom would be able to defeat the vampire.
"Six Light Successive Cuts!"
"Domain: Tiger's Fall Flute!"
However, reality proved cruel. Despite using their most powerful martial techniques, Geoff and Brian's attacks were effortlessly blocked by the vampire, who yawned and deflected them with a single hand.
Indeed, even with Brian by his side, Shatiya's strength was overwhelming. They were like a pair of nail clippers, one broken and the other intact, in the face of this formidable foe.
Geoff, realizing the true meaning of Brian's earlier words, understood the gap that couldn't be bridged by effort alone. Compared to this monster, they were as insignificant as ants.
"As far as nail clippers go, you barely pass. But in this world, only the strong have the right to choose.
Those who fled were undoubtedly the weakest of the weak, undeserving of survival. Do I need to teach you this simple truth?"
Geoff, the kingdom's warrior commander and a symbol of strength for his soldiers, appeared helpless before the vampire. The once-loyal kingdom soldiers, witnessing their commander's weakness, lost all hope.
Just as despair engulfed them, a black-haired figure drew his sword and stepped forward. "I am Night City, the wandering swordsman. I wish to experience your so-called power and see if I can become a strong enough to determine my fate."
Shatiya, who had been watching the scene with amusement, now faced Night City with a serious expression. "Of course, Night City, I mean... Even without a fight, I can sense your strength. The aura you exude is on a completely different level compared to those two insignificant humans. I admire and respect you from the bottom of my heart."
Shatiya, initially addressing Night City as 'Lord,' caught herself, remembering that Lord Ainz was pretending to be weak to deceive these humans.
