Chapter 895 Unexpected Visitors?!

Liam and Luna flew around for a couple of minutes, and Liam even summoned his soul minions to take a look in the area, but there was not even a fly or mosquito in the vicinity. 

The entire military base, along with their heavy-duty items, had simply vanished into thin air. Where did they all go?

He turned around with a frown when unexpectedly, another shocking sight greeted him. In the distance, charging towards him, was an army! 

Their steps echoed like thunder as big and bulky men with crimson eyes and big horns on top of their heads rushed toward him like there was no tomorrow.

Hooorrrraaaa! Roarrrrrr!! Attaccckkkk!!!

Liam could clearly hear the war cries of the troops. They most definitely numbered in thousands.

More importantly, they were all, without a doubt, buffed-up vampires, and they were clearly coming to attack him.

At the forefront of this army, Liam saw two bigger and stronger vampires with a particularly powerful aura and visible killing intent, charging forward at an even faster pace. 

The duo snarled and growled at him as they dashed toward him first with big blood red broad swords in their hands.

"Vampire Lords?" Liam was shocked.

What a coincidence! Here he was, wondering how to look for the next vampire lords when two of them were rushing right at him, thereby saving him a lot of time and effort.

"BRING IT ON!" He shouted as he as well unleashed his troops.

He did not know what powers these two vampire lords wielded, and his new ultimate skill still had a cooldown of about 40 minutes, so this was going to be an interesting battle that he potentially had to fight with his life on the line. 

However, Liam wasn't all that worried as he charged forward confidently. 

After all, the two vampire lords did not come alone. They brought thousands of souls along with them for his benefit. How nice of them! He needed to thank them properly for the party favors!

Rumble… Rumble… Rumble…

The battlefield immediately became chaotic as Liam unleashed all of his thousand five hundred soul minions without holding back.

The two sides clashed violently as the vampire lords as well commanded the troops to attack first and stayed back.

On the other side, Luna stayed back with Liam, but the other soul minions, even the wyverns and newly forged spider beast, Helikatos, rushed forward to take care of the horde. 

Perhaps to others, an army like this was a threat. However, to Liam, this was merely a leveling opportunity.

"Eat your fill, everyone! Don't hold back!" He commanded arrogantly as several vampire heads started rolling down right off the bat.

Helikatos was running wild, taking down dozens of vampires along with him, even with his internal struggle of how exactly he got here.

The wyverns were doing their usual business and unleashing destruction on their part. The thousands of vampires suddenly looked like innocent sheep getting slaughtered by a pack of wolves.

Seeing this, the two vampire lords grunted in annoyance. The sight of their army being slaughtered right in front of their eyes was not pleasant to watch and made them furious. 

More importantly, they knew very well that under no circumstance could they lose the current battle. Those were their orders.

However, the massacre was only becoming worse. There was no chance for a comeback. Their advantage in numbers also proved to be useless. This battle looked like it was about to be over.

And that could not happen!

One of the two vampire lords hurriedly started waving his blood sword.

Unlike the previous vampire lord, this one's skill activation was quite fast, almost instantaneous.

A red aura started spilling out on the battlefield, and all of a sudden, the vampires fighting against the soul minions started becoming stronger and faster.

Hmmm? Liam frowned. What skill was this?

However, before he could act, the next instant, something else happened. He received a notification.

<Ding. Wyvern 1 has been afflicted by the curse of the dead; All stats have been increased by 5%>

<Ding. Wyvern 2 has been afflicted by the curse of the dead; All stats have been increased by 5%>

…

…

…

Wait. Increased? Not decreased?

Liam laughed at this unexpected development. It looked like one of the vampire lords had the skill to buff the other vampires, probably similar to 'empower the undead,' but that backfired at the moment.

The curse of the dead was utterly useless against the undead. This skill was the worst in a match-up against him, and this happened despite him having used the minions against other vampire lords.

Liam was not exactly keeping his soul minions a secret.

So why were they attacking him hastily without even thinking a little? What was the rush? Were they coming after him this rabidly because he took the treasure?

It did not matter. That was not his concern. Even if they were willingly coming to die at his hands, he would only gladly welcome them with open arms and his black dragon sword. 

While the two vampire lords made their preparations, Liam did not remain idle. Luna blurred through the army and arrived in front of the two just as the disaster of the undead buffs occurred. They did not give them any time to think about the next step.

The two vampire lords looked utterly shocked at this development and the beast's speed, but they snapped out of it quickly and dashed towards Liam, waving their blood-red broad swords.

It looked like, except for the sleezebag uncle, the other vampire lords were quite capable when it came to swordplay.

Liam did not know if they trained for it or if they received these skills through some shortcut as well, but when it came to swordplay, they were not quite strong enough to stand against him just yet.

Liam nimbly moved to avoid all the sword beams, and the black dragon sword held its own against the blood swords. When the two sides clashed, it was the blood-red swords that shook from the impact.
