Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 245: Successfully escaping

And so, several days passed.

The wish for things to go smoothly was not fulfilled for Matt.

Right now, they were hiding in the undergrowth of the Empire's barren fields as they watched several checkpoints of Divine Knights and Heroes.

"There are too many of them, Matt. I'm afraid... We can't win if we fight them." Alice said.

Matt agreed.

'In fact, our limit might be to fight 30 at the same time... These guys are 50, and the other checkpoint is close...' Matt thought and sighed.

"We can't go this way. Let's get back quickly and try to find another alternate route." He said, and they crawled on the ground to get the hell out of there.

Still, their bodies made some movements in the undergrowth.

And in the distance, someone could notice it.

"Boss, isn't that weird? What kind of animal could make that kind of move?"

"A big snake? There aren't any around this area, are there?"

"Hey, you. Go see what the hell is that moving over there."

Following this, a man jumped down from the checkpoint and quickly ran there.

But just as he was about to arrive, his head was blown off, bringing shock to those behind, watching everything.

"It must be the vampires!"

"Quick, announce that those guys are over here!"

"Get them!"

Various shouts went up all over the checkpoint, and many shot off towards that spot.

Matt groaned internally. He didn't think something like that would be noticed so quickly. And even though it seemed to have been a sneak attack, his ability didn't activate, so he didn't receive power or anything for this mistake.

Still, there was no point in complaining. The mistake had already been made, and all that was left for him to do was hug Alice and start running again in the direction he had come from.

Fifty people began to chase them, but Matt's speed was amazing, and he soon left them behind.

Night soon fell, and Matt and Alice found an excellent place to rest, but Matt was overly pensive.

'This is dangerous. Those guys already know we're here. It looks like our only alternative is to keep going this way and then take a detour up ahead. The problem is that they'll possibly tip off more people up ahead and could surround us...'

'We can't go this way, but we can't go back either. What's the other way? I think it would take us to the Nevod Mountains... That place is dangerous, but I heard that the Divine Knights are not in that area. There are only Grand Sorcerers there; even so, the abilities of Grand Sorcerers are the most troublesome for me...' Matt sighed and looked at Alice. She looked worried.

She could sense the seriousness of the matter.

They knew that continuing to run away was not a viable option, as they would catch up with them sooner or later. Trying to cross the checkpoints wasn't viable either because, in those places, there were traps explicitly set against illusions and the like.

'What to do?'

Matt sighed a little after seeing her like that and nodded. "Let's go to the Nevod Mountains." He said, catching Alice's attention.

"Nevod Mountains? You want to go there?" she asked in shock.

"It's not that I want to go; it's the only option we have. The idea is to move down the road where we are going and get rid of several Divine Knights. As many as we can to try to reach the 30,000 power and also to give them a false illusion that we want to go in that direction. Halfway, according to the map, we should be able to sneak out and go towards the Nevod Mountains." He told her his plan.

And she had no say in the face of that plan. She knew Matt was good at strategizing, so it was better to listen to him. That's why both then did what Matt said...

The days began to pass, as the Divine Knights began a chase towards a couple of vampires who seemed to be running around like headless chickens.

Little by little, the Divine Knights were leading that couple to where they wanted to go.

Although many of them died in the process, in the end, losses were inevitable.

During that time, powerful existences of the Empire joined them. Existences that neither Matt nor Alice wanted to provoke.

For this reason, Matt taught Alice one of the tactics he had created on Earth with Charlotte. The Deadly Dance of the Bloody Couple. It was a combat tactic used by couples who understood each other very well. And this time, in a different world, the Deadly Dance showed its full splendor in Matt and Alice's hands.

It was an ability to fight when they were being chased. It could shine amazingly against 20 people or more. It allowed them to kill a lot of people to sneak away from them.

Somehow, escaping death several times.

Sometimes, they couldn't even rest at night, as they were rammed again and again by those bastards.

That was a long, long journey...

More than four months later, Matt and Alice could finally take the detour they wanted when the Divine Knights thought they had fallen into the trap. The Divine Knights were in shock and uproar after realizing that they had, in fact, lost track of that couple.

At the Imperial Castle, the Imperial Princess was furious.

"Are you telling me that after spending so many resources for over four months, you failed to catch them!?" she shouted hysterically.

"DO YOU ALL HAVE A HEAD FULL OF SHIT!?"

Several vases were destroyed by the fury she carried. It was the first time she looked so angry, as she is usually a calm and indifferent woman.

But this time, the situation warranted it.

"YOU'RE ALL USELESS! GET OUT, GO BACK TO GET THEM!" she shouted as she beat up some of them.

She had spent countless resources on this but still failed to grab two little vampires.

That was frustrating!

The fact that the news brought to her was just that, totally ruined her day.

She wouldn't expect the couple she was looking for right now, would be laughing under the moonlight while eating delicious meat.

For a moment, both remembered what had happened these past few months.

After recalling it, Matt made a grumbling face again, after remembering that their skills had played a trick on them. Especially Matt's.
