Chapter 337 Rumbling
Standing on top of the buildings adjacent to the large main street in Shiron, all the Ascenders smiled brightly as Blazing Molotov Daggers appeared in their hands.
Williams’ smile was probably the brightest as he controlled a total of 20 Blazing Molotov Daggers in the air before he shot them down to the masses of 1000 Vampires when the command was issued.
“Release the daggers!”
Every single Ascender was holding one or two Blazing Molotov Daggers in their hands, and all of them threw them out almost at the same time.
More than two thousand Blazing Molotov Daggers shot to the ground before they exploded one after another as they collided with the ground, Vampires, or other daggers.
Painful screams, thunderous explosions, and the smell of charred, sizzling flesh filled the air as flames flared up as if they were presented with a wide field of tinder to gorge.
They filled the entire enclosure that had been created on the main street of Shiron. Everything was set ablaze and not a single Vampire could escape the flames. They were caught by the fire and started to burn brightly.
The Ascenders looked at their own actions in terror. They had been fully aware of what would happen after they threw the Blazing Molotov Daggers at their opponents but seeing the final result was more devastating than they could have anticipated.
Their eyes were filled with terror and only when the buildings they were standing on began to shake did they regain their senses.
[Retreat. The buildings will collapse. We will initiate the rumbling in 20 seconds. Stay far enough, otherwise, you will be squashed in the debris!] The voice of the young man, who used telepathy resounded in everyone’s head.
The young man had used his [Mass Telepathy] just now to warn his comrades, and everyone was grateful for this. The Ascenders retreated while oblivious to the exhaustion the young telepath felt. He was already exhausted after using telepathy a few dozen times but using the mass telepathy made things only worse.
Niko, the young telepath, had used his ability more than 200 times in the last 20 minutes. He could barely stand on his feet solely because he gulped down one mana replenishment potion after another so as not to let exhaustion cloud his mind and senses.
They didn’t have many mana replenishment potions left but it was essential for Niko to use his telepathy.
The most important for Dilan, Sven, and the others was to make sure that the Ascenders of the Undying group would survive.
Thus, after the Ascenders released a second volley of Blazing Molotov Daggers, they retreated as quickly as possible.
While blazing flames shot in the sky, explosions and the horrid screams of pained Vampires filled the air. Fire weakened them considerably, and that was something everyone could clearly tell, now even more than ever before.
Some Ascenders had watery eyes but nobody could say for sure that this was a result of the flames’ searing heat, the smoke, or the guilt they felt.
As they rushed back to safety the large industrial buildings collapsed, leaving nothing but rubble, dust, and destruction behind.
The commotion and the blood-curdling screams were more than enough to attract the attention of the powerful and arrogant Vampires, who had been separated from their people.
They looked backward, smelled their own brethren’s burned flesh, and could clearly hear and sense everything that happened behind the Blood-Ice wall that had yet to break down completely.
“Guys, how about you don’t look back when you’re about to face the fight of your life…your last one?” Dilan asked mockingly as he took a few steps forward.
He smiled in ecstasy, licked his dry lips and he drove Balzaki to the ground to generate an ear-piercing sound that made everyone snap their attention back to him.
“H-how did you manage to get so many [Teleportation] Magic Scrolls?!?” One of the four patriarchs asked, looking aghast. It was the patriarch of the Bryte family, the one, who was in possession of the Ancient Vampire Power [Monstrous Shifting].
“I thought that you could only fight mindlessly. Are we suddenly in the ‘talking’ stage? Cute, but I decline to answer your question. You can die without being able to ever find out the truth,” Dilan answered, shrugging his shoulders as he acted like it was not his problem.
The Bryte family’s patriarch gritted his teeth, and his fangs grew longer as his face twisted. It turned even more hideous as if it was the face of a real Demon.
Dilan acted terrified and as if he was feeling shivers running down his spine before he laughed out loud, further angering the vampire.
“You’re cute. How about we fight one on one so I can demonstrate to everyone that you’re nothing but dirt sticking to my boots?” Dilan smiled provokingly and the patriarch of the Bryte family was just about to step forward when the other patriarch stopped him.
“Don’t act foolish. We need to fight together against him…” The matriarch of the Agilt family tried to put sense in the enranged vampire. His words brought the patriarch of the Melza family to his senses and he couldn’t agree more.
“I hate to acknowledge it but he can kill us…all of us the moment he lets loose of his human nature…”
The patriarch of the Melza family hated himself for his words but they were the bitter truth. Never had anyone been able to defeat him that easily, whether it was before or after the Primordial Ascension.
He knew how powerful someone had to be to cut through his entire body while making it look like it was something as easy as running a hot knife through butter.. and that fact scared him the most!
“That’s flattering,” Dilan acknowledged before he dashed out. In response, the Bryte family’s patriarch shot forward as well.
“This idiot…” The other leaders mumbled as they realized what Dilan had done. He had lured the Bryte family’s patriarch towards himself, to have a word with the patriarch on his own while the others had hesitated.
They shot forward as well, and the nobles of the Agilt clan caught up with Dilan.
However, it was at this moment when everyone realized something they had missed out on.
The main street had turned dark as something huge covered it. They had been focused on Dilan, and not on their surroundings. For the Vampires, day and night were no different because they could literally see the same scene in front of them.
Just the shades were a bit different, and this was not something they had paid much attention to in the last few seconds, which was exactly what Dilan had wanted.
He couldn’t care less how many Vampires attacked him simultaneously as long as they wouldn’t realize what he was up to.
A bright smile appeared on Dilan’s face as he pointed with his empty hand into the air.
Simultaneously, he inserted Bilzaki with mere 10 Units of Mana to create a Mana Slash.
Everyone expected Dilan to create a terrifying Mana Slash as he did in the first encounter against the Vampires, however, that was not what he aimed to do right now.
His main priority was just to keep everyone distracted.
After all, the plan, which the Undying group had lovingly called ‘Rumbling’ depended on it!
Most Vampires Dilan faced were distracted by his words and were staring at his face. There were only a few, who actually looked upward when Dilan pointed in the air.
And it was only at this moment that they realized that the Undying group had made far more preparations to fight powerful Vampires than they could have anticipated.
Otherwise, two huge skyscrapers wouldn’t be collapsing just now, falling right in the area of the main street where all the powerful Vampires were currently standing.
“This motherfucker…”
