Lord Of Puppets
Chapter 232 – Wondering adventurers – Part 2.
"..."
"..."
"Okay. So, you revealed your form and everything... But why are you not attacking?" – asked the elderly lady as the vampires around just stood their ground.
"Are you waiting for me to make a first move or something like that?"
"...Huh... Normally your kind would just attack from get go, think that they are gods or some shit.... But I guess you DO have some brains."
"Heck. This forest covers the skies pretty good, so vampires with weakness to sunlight can probably here at full power."
"So hey, you maybe have some chance."
"..."
"Aren’t you going to reveal your true self?" – asked the hooded woman as he took out her staff and short sword, while pointing with her blade at the elderly lady.
"Shapeshifter?"
"Hm? Why I should I do that when I don’t need to?" – replied the elderly woman.
"I mean, I can probably murder all of you with this form alone."
"..."
(She is speaking like she dealt with vampires a lot.) – thought the hooded woman.
(But what is she? A demon?)
(That elderly woman form is definitely fake.)
(...No. What she is isn’t the problem.)
(How does she know about golem dungeon and what our goal is?)
"..."
"By the way, that woman over there with backpack." – said the elderly lady as she pointed at adventurer who appears to be a porter.
"I get that you are good at hiding your mana and what not. But I can tell that you are the real leader here, instead of that hooded gal who pretends to be a one."
"..."
"Bitch." – said the woman who was carrying a bag as she sudden dropped the luggage as the black smoke suddenly started surrounding her entire body.
Few seconds later, the smoke dispersed, revealing the woman.... But her appearance was completely different.
Before she wore a basic common adventurer clothing with bit of armor.
But now?
She was wearing a white coat with a hood, which covered the woman’s entire body and hid her face completely.
"Not hiding one bit?" – asked the elderly woman with a smile.
"I guess you know what you are doing."
However, upon changing her clothing, the vampire around.... Something changed.
They became visible nervous and confused upon the woman sudden transformation.
"Attack. No mercy." – said the woman in white coat.
And the moment she spoken those words, all of the vampires went full power, instantly rushing at the elderly lady.
In response, the elderly lady swung around her tail which still had impaled vampires on it.
The impaled vampires were sent flying at the incoming foes.
Some were stopped in tracks, but other leaped above their thrown comrades and flew straight at the elderly lady, who in response just used her bat like wing to block off their attacks yet again with ease.
However, one vampire managed to quickly circle around and instantly rushed towards the elderly from the side.
The vampire moved at way faster speed compare to the other vampires... But even so, his attack was met with by the second bat wing which sprouted out from the elderly woman’s back, which blocked off the attack with ease.
"Hm? Weren’t you suppose to go all out now?" – asked the elderly woman with a smile as she was blocking off the barrages of strikes from the close-range combatants.
The elderly woman swung around her tail, but this time the vampires were ready for it, as all vampire nearby quickly leaped away, dodging the deadly tail.
The elderly woman got ready to launch another attack... But then suddenly, a massive amount of ice started gathering up and forming a massive humanoid monster.
The monster of ice swung down its beastly claws at the elderly lady, who in response used both of her bat wings to form a defensive wall above her, blocking the strike.
However, this was what the vampires were waiting for, as they all instantly rushed at the elderly lady once again.
The elderly lady thrusted her tail towards the vampires, but then the female mage unleashed [Wind Magic: Havoc Wind Sphere], unleashing an extremely concentrated sphere of violative wind, which upon hitting the tail, unleashed a massive blast of wind.
The blast of violative wind managed to stop in tracks the tail, allowing the vampire warriors to all rush in at once.
*Sigh*
"You know I still have hands, right?" – asked the elderly lady as she manifested several dark spheres around herself.
[Darkness Magic: Black Sphere – Barrage]
A massive hail of black spheres began flying straight into the warriors.
Some warriors fought back by striking down the spheres... But some others were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of shots that were unleashed on them.
However, as the black spheres flew, something suddenly flew past the warriors.
"..."
"Huh.... That is interesting." – said the elderly woman as she extended her hand, forming a small yet tough barrier, which appears to be blocking a blade.
However, it wasn’t some random blade.
A silver liquid stretched through the battlefield and formed the blade in the end, which was met by the barrier of arcane magic.
"A metal manipulation? That is very interesting and rare thing to be seen on a battlefield." – said the elderly lady as she gazed at the woman with a white coat, who was the one controlling the silver-colored liquid, which seems to had came out from underneath her coat.
While the elderly lady was distracted by the liquid metal, both the warriors and the ice monster launched their attacks all at once.
"...."
"Heh."
But as they tried to, something weird had happened.
And it wasn’t the elderly lady unleashing some sort of attack.
No.
From afar, from all directions all at once, a burst of energy suddenly shoot out from the sky, forming a massive glass like barrier which stretched at the extremely alarming rate.
The energies stretched in all directions and met up above the group, joining up and fusing together, which resulted in a formation of a massive dome.
"!"
"BACK AWAY!" – shouted the leader of vampire, as instantly all warriors leaped away, canceling their attacks alongside the ice monster.
"...Barrier?" – said the leader as she and other vampires were on extremely high alert as they realized they were trapped in some sort of barrier, which formed in just several seconds.
"!"
(Wait! She was stalking?!) – the white coat wearing woman instantly realized what was going on, the elderly woman wasn’t fighting, she was just stalling for this unknown barrier to finally activate.
"Ah.... Fucking finally." – said the elderly lady as her whole body started acting up, alarming further the vampires as they observed the elderly lady undergoing a massive transformation.
[Metal Magic: Blade Forging]
However, the leader of the vampires didn’t stood idly as she unleashed a massive amount of liquid metal from her coat, which flew towards the elderly lady, forming two massive pendulum blades that were big enough to cut entire human body in half and some more.
The two massive blades were about to hit the elderly woman while she was in the middle of her transformation.... But as they were about to make contact, an eruption of darkness elemental magic suddenly was unleashed, knocking both pendulum blades away.
"Ah.... This should do it." – said the beautiful voice from the cloud of dark magic, which did not resembled one bit the voice of the elderly woman.
The black smoke was pushed away by a something what appears to be a four massive bat like wings, which ended up instantly cleaning up the area.
And as the area was cleaned up, the vampires saw somebody.
A beautiful woman in the where the elderly lady once stood at.... But she was clearly not a human, no matter how you looked at it.
No.
That was clear from the get go.
Four massive bat pitch black wings.
A long pitch-black tail, which was equipped with countless blades.
And yet.... Her body looked both beautiful and seductive, despise these inhuman traits.
Even the tattoos that were covering bits of her body were unable to hide her beauty.
Her eyes, beastly, yet also beautiful, with each eye possessing a split color in both of them, a purple and red colors.
Her hair of two colors, red and black stood out as well, forming a beautiful harmony, which also were noticed alongside two horns, which formed a pseudo like tiara on the woman’s head.
This beautiful creature stood in front vampires, wearing a blue and purple dark dress, which enchanted the woman’s beauty even further.
Many would had been charmed by just looking at her.... But they were not.
Why?
Is it because they knew that the foe in front of them was enemy?
Well... Yes.
But not exactly.
DREAD
When this beautiful creature transformed into her true form, the vampires could senses it, no matter how good their detective abilities were or not, they all could senses it.
Even horses could sense it as they got restless by just being exposed to it.
An overwhelming power and presence, which instantly made the vampires panic and get on the high alert.
All of them had the same thought.
(DANGER!)
They knew that the "creature" in front of them was something that they shouldn’t let their guard down for even a moment.... Or it could mean death
"Ah....This should do it." – said the beautiful demonic looking woman.
"?!"
(Wait.... Four vampire fangs?!) – thought the woman in the coat as she noticed from afar four vampire fangs when the woman was speaking.
A four vampire fangs which only pure vampires should have.
(A pure vampire?)
(Some does have some "monster" traits.... But something about her isn’t right.)
"What the fuck are you doing? Who sent you?" – asked the vampire leader. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Hm....Well, I’m working here for my own reasons." – said the beautiful woman.
"Honestly, I can tell you all about it.... But I really can’t waste time on you all." – said the beautiful woman as the tone of her voice got way colder and cruel.
"Surrender now."
"This is your last chance."
"...And if we don’t?" – asked the white coat woman.
"Oh, then I will just murder all of your assess." – replied the woman with cheerful tone.
"Teehee."
