Chapter 353: We have a way
Matt stopped running for a while after reaching a cave to rest.
Alice had fallen unconscious a while ago, although Matt didn't understand why. The wounds on her body were not too serious to lead to unconsciousness. So, it was possibly some internal struggle.
Still, it gave him time to think about the things that had happened recently.
The Charlotte thing had become clear to him. Her plan was to lead the human race to certain extermination.
She is a great strategist; she has many ways to do it without them realizing it. He has full confidence in her abilities to do so, so he is not worried about her.
But he also knows that doing so is too dangerous. One wrong step could cause her to become the primary enemy of the human race. That is why he must become strong again.
'Although I don't want to collect the Fragments for now, since Charlotte will contain them from the inside, it wouldn't hurt to start collecting them soon.' He thought, remembering one of his new abilities.
When he remembered his abilities, he also remembered the battle he had with Vanessa and those guys.
He was able to confirm many things. For example, the ice power is much more powerful now, but he also realizes that sorcerers have problematic domains.
Vanessa's is an example. Although he was able to counter it, it was only due to his ability to freeze time. Without that ability, he would have died in one move.
That domain is several times more problematic than the domain of the other 3, but in Matt and only in him, the opposite was true.
But, against other people of the vampire race, that would not be the same. 'No wonder she is known all over the world. Not only is she very powerful by power of her own, but she also has such a powerful Domain.' He sighed a little.
In the end, all he could do was trap her for a while in his reality freeze to escape.
How he severely injured the other three because he froze an immense amount of attacks inside them with the frozen reality. They could not feel it; they only felt a tremendous weight, several tons, but in reality, it was the weight of Matt's numerous attacks on them.

That way, he could hurt them badly, but that was his limit for now.
Although he felt regretful that he could not kill them, as they would be a great increase in his power, in the end, there was nothing he could do. He must continue to strengthen his body slowly so as not to create problems, and moreover, he must try to understand the first phase of control, which he would focus on once he returned to the Vampire Territory.
For now, he must focus on returning.
He sighed after thinking about so many things and decided to rest. The next day, his long journey would continue, and he would possibly have pursuers, so it would be a long road...
...
So, the days passed. Matt and Alice were on a quiet journey. With the map Janna Patel had given them, it was easy for them to avoid the pursuing forces.
And each time they both got farther and farther away from the Nevod Mountains, until they reached the point where they did not even hear the name of that famous mountain range.
Days soon turned into weeks, until finally, they both reached an important point.
The number of people chasing them was so many that even with Matt's strategies, they could not avoid them so easily, reaching the point where they were cornered towards a small town on the borders.
They were relatively close to the other side and had arrived at the right place. But there was a problem whereby they both had to take shelter inside the town to avoid being caught.
Besides the immense number of troops everywhere in this place that were chasing them, there was also something else here.
A huge barrier protecting the Empire.
This barrier was not something Alice noticed when she entered the Empire, so the teleportation inscription she encountered was outside this barrier; perhaps it was used by vampires to infiltrate.
That's why they had no idea how to get out of here. With so many powerful people nearby, attacking and looking for the weakness of this barrier was a difficult challenge.
That's why they both locked themselves in the city.
"Matt, there are a lot of people walking around in the city. They are quite strong and seem to be searching through all the citizens and the vicinity. It won't be too long before they come to us. I don't think they'll overlook this place so easily." Alice had gone out for a while to look at a few things while Matt prepared a suitable hiding place.
Matt nodded at her. "I know. Honestly, there aren't too powerful people here; the strongest ones must be searching in the big city nearby, but it's dangerous to fight all of them with our current strength. And there are so many of them that the 200 meters of my domain wouldn't do much good."
Although he hadn't been out, he was aware of what was going on in the city because before coming here, he had turned a woman into a vampire to get information. They had been in town for almost a day, after all.
"What do we do?" Alice asked, frowning, sitting down next to him.
Although Matt thought of an answer, he didn't know what to make of this huge barrier.
"We need to increase our base power. My icy power bases all its attacks on my base power, so it's another counter to my sword domain. That's why I need to increase it somehow. If I can get to the level of power needed to freeze a part of the barrier, we should be able to break through it.
When we approached it earlier, I realized that, although seeing to the other side is possible, I can't cast my dimensional move to break through it. It's a good barrier."
"Do you want us to train here?" she asked, frowning, noticing herself a bit down. "But the training to increase our vampiric power requires a lot of physical training. The explosions that can cause our current power levels aren't going to be ignored by those guys, and I don't think we have any way to prevent said explosions from coming to light," she said.
Matt nodded, smiling a little. "No, as a matter of fact, we do have a way to keep the explosions from giving us away." He replied, full of confidence.
