The people who had participated in leveling the canyon were all panicked when they saw the true appearance of the terrain.
All the paths leading out of this area were blocked by dark clouds and lightning.
Within this sealed area, sword lights appeared from time to time. They suffered heavy casualties, and if this continued, their people would soon be wiped out.
Some had already started to cry out for help.
"My lords, the vampires, what is going on? Is this the work of the monster? What should we do? Lords, vampires, save us!"
"What is the deal with these strange dark clouds and lightning that have blocked all our paths? Where did these dark clouds and lightning come from? Lords, vampires, save us! We don't want to die here, we haven't even sworn allegiance to you yet!" kuAiδugg
"Oh, great lords, vampires, save us!"
The crowd began to wail, and at this moment, the two vampires, looking at the drastic change in their surroundings, also felt a little uneasy.
What worried them even more was that the person who had been standing in front of them and speaking just now, with the seven-colored small flag in his hand, had disappeared from their sight. They concentrated their vision, but they could not see where that person had gone.
This was the first time they had encountered such a strange situation. As vampires, their energy and abilities were exceptionally powerful. When they focused their power on their eyes, they could see through everything, but for some reason, they could not see through the mist before them.
Andrew said angrily, "Who was that guy just now? Did he do all this? Damn it, how dare he plot against us! If I see him again, I will suck his blood dry and let him know our power."
Another vampire, Jack, said, "That guy's goal seems to be to trap us. He must have concentrated all his power on the dark clouds and lightning, aiming to prevent us from leaving this area. He wants us to die at the hands of the monster."
Hearing this, Andrew laughed heartily, "There is no power in this world that can destroy us. Even if that monster is powerful, it cannot stop us from escaping. What can these mere dark clouds and lightning do?"
After speaking, Andrew walked directly into the area sealed by the dark clouds and lightning.
Immediately, a bolt of lightning struck down. Andrew used his vampires' powerful strength to resist.
Blood-red light enveloped his arm. He collided with the lightning. With a loud bang, the ground was scorched black, but the vampire was unharmed, only his face turned even paler.
The collision with the lightning had cost him a lot of strength, but he had managed to block it. He laughed heartily, "Is this all your strength? What can these mere lightning bolts do to me?"
He continued to walk forward, intending to leave the sealed area. But as he took his second step, another thick bolt of lightning struck down. This bolt was twice as thick and twice as powerful as the first one.
Seeing this, Andrew hurriedly extended both his palms, concentrating all his strength on them to counter the lightning. With a deafening roar, a deep pit was blasted into the ground, and Andrew remained unharmed.
Seeing this scene, the crowd cheered.
"Lord Andrew is mighty! Lord Andrew, you are the best!"
"With Lord Andrew leading us, we will surely escape this area! Andrew, my master, your power is unmatched in this world. What can these little dark clouds and lightning do to you? As Lord Andrew's servant, I am deeply honored. Long live Lord Andrew, forever and ever!"
The crowd cheered, but Andrew's heart trembled. Others didn't know, but only he knew that during the confrontation with the lightning, he had suffered a slight internal injury. Although he had blocked the thick lightning bolt, his body had also suffered a strong impact, and he could not withstand the next lightning strike.
He could only hope that the lightning in the sky would not strike him again. So he took another step forward. He was about seven steps away from leaving this area. If he was fast enough, he could be out in a flash. But as soon as his third step landed, the lightning came.
As if the dark clouds in the sky had sensed it, no matter how fast he moved, the lightning would strike as soon as his foot touched the ground. This third bolt of lightning was twice as thick as the second one. Facing such a powerful lightning strike, Andrew knew he could not take it. He had to activate his vampire life-saving skill.
Instantly, his body turned into a blood mass. The lightning struck directly down, passing through the blood mass and hitting the ground. The lightning seemed to have lost its target, creating a large pit on the ground before dissipating.
The blood mass Andrew had transformed into seemed to have faded slightly. He quietly returned to his original position, not daring to move forward. After moving away from the area sealed by the dark clouds and lightning, he revealed his true form. His face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, which was very eerie.
Jack, standing beside him, asked in confusion, "Are you injured? What happened? Can that lightning still harm you when you've turned into a blood mass?"
Andrew nodded, saying weakly, "That lightning is too strange. Although my blood mass form has no physical substance, being pierced by that lightning made me feel my strength being rapidly weakened. If it continued, I might die in the lightning. It's so hateful, where did this lightning come from? Why is it against me?"
Seeing Andrew return in failure, the people below were at a loss, but a few still flattered him and praised him.
"Lord Andrew, you must have come back because you couldn't bear to leave us, haven't you? You truly are the vampire lord we admire."
"Lord Andrew, as your servant, I am so moved that you didn't abandon me. You are compassionate and the most merciful person I have ever met."
"Lord Andrew, we want to pledge our loyalty to you, we want to become your servants."
Seeing the people below singing his praises, Andrew was furious. He had been seriously injured in the lightning just now, and hearing these flattering words now made him feel like they were mocking him.
With a flash, he transformed into a blood shadow and engulfed the few people who had spoken. Red blood mist rose around their bodies. Moments later, those people all turned into mummified corpses. Andrew returned to his original spot, his complexion looking much better. By absorbing the blood of these few people, he had recovered some of his losses.
Andrew licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and at the same time, he looked at the area that was now completely sealed. He said to everyone, "If you want to live, kill that powerful monster. In this area, no one can escape now. And the real threat we face is nothing more than the monster within this area. As long as we kill that monster, we will be safe. This force that is sealing us will eventually dissipate, and then everyone will be free."
