Chapter 425 - Fighting In Wolf Form
Two against five. But we are not losing at all.
I think even if it's a one on five like it was supposed to be originally, I still won't be losing. Though if they still have some trump card left, I don't know.
I'm glad that Shelia came though. With her cooperation, the fight should be easier. And so far, the vampires don't have any way to attack us from the distance. If that's really the case, then winning should be easy. But I won't let down my guard.
This time, two vampires are moving forward at the same time after they had a short discussion. I couldn't hear them, but seems like they have a plan.
"Shelia, you fight those two. I will watch the other three," I said.
"Okay," Shelia said as she charged toward the enemies.
She seems to be having fun. Even though this is a life or death situation, she's having fun. As expected of a werewolf. A species who loves battle.
The two vampires that Shelia fight wield different weapon. They are both male vampires, but one of them is wielding a sword, while the other is wielding two daggers. One in each hand.
I guess the vampires' weapons are sword or dagger. Maybe because they don't need to use much blood? If it's a spear, it will be longer and need more blood. But sword or dagger will use less.
Well, maybe there is other reason why they used sword or daggers. It will be disastrous if I keep thinking that they are only using sword and daggers when they suddenly use other weapons. Maybe they can use their blood to transform into any kind of weapon just like Victoria.
For now, I'll watch Shelia fights. Of course I won't forget to look at the Vampire King and the two other vampires who are not fighting. If they are trying to hurt Shelia, and Shelia can't dodge it, I will protect her.
I know that Shelia has a regeneration skill, but that doesn't mean that I will let her get hurt. Though if it's Graham, and he's still annoying, I will be the one to hurt him instead. But he's not here, so let's not talk about him.
Shelia is doing well against two Vampire Dukes. Although back then, when she fought the vampire boy, I think she had some difficulties. But the vampire boy was too confident with his regeneration skill and let Shelia cut off his arm. Which ended up badly for him because he never expected Shelia to be able to react so fast just by her instinct.
But these two vampires are much experienced than that vampire boy. They won't purposely let themselves be hurt for the sake of winning. And now, Shelia seems to be in trouble. Though I won't help her at the moment. Unless the other three vampires decided to join, or Shelia's life is at stake.
If it's Shelia, she also can get herself injured purposely so she can win. But seems like she's smarter than that and won't do it. She has witnessed how badly things can go with that plan after that after all.
When Shelia is blocking the vampire with sword, the one with daggers would attack her. Because the enemies have three weapons, it's difficult for Shelia to block them all. Even when she blocked a dagger, the vampire still has another dagger to attack. And the sword wielding vampire will help.
Shelia gains some distance after receiving the attack from the dagger, and swung her arms to attack the two from distance. But the two vampires summoned a pair of blood wings on their back and dodge it by flying. Although they used more blood now, it will still be difficult for Shelia to win.
Oh? Shelia is transforming into her wolf form? Well, this is the first time I'm seeing her using that form in a battle. How will she fight?
Shelia on all four, is running to the sky. Charging straight forward. As for the vampires, they are in front of her. But Shelia only focused on one enemy. The one with the daggers.
Yeah, that one is the most troublesome enemy among the two. Good quick decision.
The sword wielding vampire tried to slash his sword at Shelia, but Shelia ignored him. With her speed, and the durability of her fur, she ignored the sword and continue charging forward at her target, the vampire with dual daggers.
"…that's just like Jewel. She must have learned it from that disciple of mine," I said.
"It is a simple move, but it's quite powerful. Though as a wolf, I think her attack would be weaker than a rhino. How will she finish that vampire?" Victoria said.
The answer can be seen right away.
Shelia faces the target with her mouth wide open, and she bites on the vampire's arm. She quickly rips it off of the vampire's shoulder, and kicked it away.
Since the vampires can regenerate, and it will be faster if the lost limb is nearby since it can be reattached quickly, that was a good move to kick the arm away.
She's a wolf, and not a rhinoceros like Jewel. Although she can slam her body on the enemy, using her fangs are more effective than slamming her body on the vampire.
"AAAARGH!"
The vampire screamed in pain after losing his arm. I guess even he didn't expect to get hurt like that.
As for the other vampires, they are watching with surprise. Why are they surprised? It's obvious that a werewolf can transform into a wolf.
And then, they whispered something as the three vampires who are watching raised their index finger and aimed them toward Shelia.
…don't tell me!
I quickly moved toward the three vampires, and use Reizpear and Victoshield to block their line of sight. Instead of blocking their fingers, this is better since their accuracy will be lowered.
What they did was shooting a bullet made of blood. A Blood Bullet if I have to name it. And using a drop of blood means that they won't spend too much blood with that attack.
My strategy is right to cover their line of sight instead of blocking their fingers. None of their blood bullets hit a big target like Shelia in her wolf form. And Shelia is now moving around after all, so it's difficult to hit her.
"I won't let you do that. If you decided to participate in the battle, I will join as well," I said.
After saying that, the two other vampires were stunned because they didn't expect me to react so fast. As for the Vampire King, Avan, he quickly changed his aim from the sky where Shelia is fighting the two vampires, to my head.
Oh, shit!
I tilted my head slightly as he shot his blood at me. The blood scratched my forehead as blood dripping on my face.
"Hey! What if I turn ugly because of that!?"
"Don't worry, you won't," Avan said.
"So, you think that I'm handsome?" I asked.
"The opposite. Since you're already ugly, there's no point in turning you uglier," he said.
Is that provocation? I'll show him how to provoke your enemy.
"Don't lie. I know you want to hurt my face because you don't like seeing someone more handsome than you. I'm sorry to say this, but there aren't many people more handsome than me. At least I haven't found any," I said.
"I'll kill you!"
It worked too well as the Vampire King aimed all ten fingers at me. Well, I guess the time is over for me to just watch Shelia fights. Now, it's time to join in the fight.
Shelia against two vampires, and I against three vampires including the Vampire King. After seeing how they can attack from distance with their Blood Bullet, I know that this battle won't be easy.
I don't need the Victokatana any longer. It's best to use Victogun. And with a wider surface area, the Victogun can be used to block the enemy's Blood Bullets.
To make sure that none of them will try to aim for Shelia, I used the pole of Reizpear to shove the three vampires away as far as possible. Their ribs should be broken from how strong I swung my spear, but they all healed quickly. They must have quite a lot of blood reserve. And the Vampire King also failed to attack me.
"You two, ignore the werewolf! Just attack the human from distance! You are too weak against him!" Avan commanded the two vampires in front of me.
That is a good strategy. If those two keep shooting at me, I won't be able to focus only on Avan. And I won't be able to help Shelia.
But their enemy is me. They don't know that I can use portal to move toward Shelia in an instant. Though I won't use it anytime soon. Maybe later.
While the two vampires are aiming at me, I already aimed my Victogun at one of them, the female vampire, and shoot her at the heart. Though I missed and I didn't hit her vital.
"Well, I can shoot as well, so your plan might not work," I said.
"We'll see about that," the Vampire King said.
