GRIN!

With Liam and Luna struggling, the vampire lord, who was cowering in fear and hiding behind the barrier all this time, arrogantly lunged forward.

The blood-red sword was back in his hands though this time it was a lot smaller, probably because most of its essence was consumed earlier.

"DIE!" He dashed forward toward Liam, who was in his most vulnerable and weakest state at the moment.

On the island, the little kid's face was also covered by a big vicious grin. "DIE! DIE! DIE!" He shouted and stamped his leg repeatedly on the island, making the entire landmass tremble.

It was as if he was the one who was about to slaughter Liam and not the other guy. "KILL that insect now! How dare he lay his hands on what is mine! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

Elmis's crimson eyes glowed with a cold glint as he watched and waited for the annoying pest to disappear forever. How dare a lower realm human stand up against him!

Back on the battleground, the 'vampire lord' obediently followed the commands of the boss like a loyal lap dog and ran forward to slash down at Liam with the smaller blood sword.

The sword thrummed with a strange power, and Liam was also incapacitated at the moment. There was nothing stopping him from slaughtering the enemy.

The blood sword gleamed as it came down on Liam's neck at full speed in executioner's style. The vampire lord licked his lips, and Elmis grinned like the devil.

The next second…

CLANG!

Unexpectedly, a screeching metallic noise echoed loudly. Instead of flesh squelching and blood spurting out, the sword trembled.

Right under the eyes of the real vampire lord and the fake vampire lord, the sword that came down with full force didn't reach the neck of its target. Their faces froze as the sword stopped mid-air at the last minute.

The vampire lord was speechless. Elmis looked stunned. Just what the hell was happening?

Blocking the path of the blood-red sword was the black dragon sword, and wielding it was Liam. The guy who was incapacitated and shaking at the knees was no longer down on the ground.

With a single push, he blocked the sword and then forced the vampire lord back a few paces.

And he did not stop there.

Liam kept attacking the vampire lord without giving him time to execute another mental attack. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body was still shaking, but he did not stop attacking the vampire.

Mental attacks were something that he did not understand. However, their effect was something that he understood quite well.

After enduring the repeated assaults of the black dragon sword every time he broke a seal, and the repeated assaults of his master, the elven old man, this mental attack of the vampire lord was not beyond him.

He might have been suppressed in the beginning, but he was able to bear the pain and overcome it in a fraction of a second. Also…

Liam sucked in a waft of soul energy rich air. This was his battleground. He was not going to get beaten or suppressed so easily.

Weng! His sword made the blood-red sword shiver, and he shouted and went berserk on the opponent.

Now that he knew what this vampire lord was capable of and also had the advantage of the element of surprise, he used the chance to finish the fight quickly.

Wanting to put him down with a single mental attack? Dream on!

Without giving time for another blood sphere shield to materialize, he executed consecutive fire slashes using his abundant roiling mana reserves and sliced and diced the vampire lord.

In front of his attacks, the other party could not even block effectively. He might have a sword in his hand, but he was useless against Liam's attacks.

In the end, without being able to cast another mental attack, the vampire lord crumbled and desiccated into skin and bone dust.

Liam grinned. This was his victory. He looked at Luna, who seemed to be doing better now, and forged the dead vampire lord's soul first.

He then looked at the other vampire lord, who had still turtled himself under the blood sphere. Just as Liam began to think about how to break the barrier in front of him, once again, something unexpected happened.

The blood barrier began to fade away and disappear all on its own. However, unlike last time, it did not seem to be the plan of the vampire lord inside the barrier.

In fact, the other party looked just as shocked as Liam did. He blankly stared around as if he did not expect his protective layer to disappear.

Liam did not miss this chance. With a single move, he reached the second vampire lord as well and finished him off cleanly.

As the man's head rolled down, his body as well turned to dust and vanished. Liam once again forged the soul of the guy.

Of course, there was also the abundant soul energy brimming on the battlefield. How could he let such a precious resource go to waste?

He took a look at the condition of the battlefield, and clearly, there was nothing to worry about. There seemed to be about ten thousand or so vampires, but there was no threat to his soul minions.

While the weaker ones seemed to be capable of handling only one vampire at a time, the stronger ones took down dozens at the same time.

Seeing this, Liam relaxed a little and steadied himself first. He reached into his spatial artifact to take out the stone tablet to harvest all the souls around him.

He did not know if there were more vampire lords coming to assault him to reclaim the treasure, but for now, everything seemed to be over. Only the task of collecting the souls was now left.

"Luna, are you feeling better now?" He asked the fox and grabbed the stone tablet when…

RUMBLE!
