Chapter 562 Hard to Kill

?'Old Torne, how do I kill this creature?' Vicente asked as the vampire looked in his direction. 'For some reason, I feel I won't be able to escape from this place like I had planned with Layla.'

'Yes, you won't. Vampires are powerful, master. Even though this creature in front of you has a lower cultivation level than you, it has much more experience, special fighting techniques, powers, and a virtually indestructible body.

Like magicians, every vampire has a special ability. In addition to their ability to cast spells, vampires also have very strong bodies, are agile, intelligent, and have the innate ability to suck the blood of any magical creature and steal their victim's strength and vitality.

It is not easy to destroy the body of such a creature. But even if you succeed, it's no guarantee of anything. Vampires have excellent regeneration; even after being blown up, they can recover and return to their best condition.' Torne said quickly amid the tension of the moment.

'The only way to kill them is to burn their souls. To do that, you need a way to reach that creature's soul and make it leave the corpse they call a body.' Torne expressed seriously.

Vampires were undead creatures. They were not like zombies or liches, but just like those creatures, they had a dead body and a living soul.

In the case of zombies and liches, destroying their bodies was enough to kill them since they were normal undead beings.

They became zombies or liches after they died. But vampires mostly became undead while they were alive. By being infected by a vampire or being born from a pure vampire lineage, these beings would pass from the living to the undead classification without going through death.

Their bodies would stop aging, and they would no longer have vital points. Their characteristics in terms of strength, agility, intelligence, and the ability to absorb the characteristics of their food would gradually emerge after their 'infection.'

Because this whole process happened differently, the souls of these beings didn't depend 100% on their bodies, which allowed them to do many things. Among them, their bodies were not one of their weaknesses.

'How am I supposed to do this?' Vicente asked, fearing that he couldn't kill such a creature.

'You don't.' Torne came straight to the point. 'You should destroy his body and run. He will eventually recover and come after you. But that will buy us some time.'

Another characteristic of vampires was their ability to track. When a vampire set a target on someone, it was almost impossible for them to hide or run for long.

Torne did not doubt this would happen if Vicente did what he indicated. But all they needed was time. Even if they had to face this creature again in the future, it wouldn't be as bad as dealing with him now.

Vicente clenched his fists in anger at not having efficient enough methods to endanger that being's soul.

That wasn't a problem of skill, by the way. Any magical skill could do what Torne had in mind. But while some skills might be more or less effective against such creatures, the most important thing was the difference in power between the vampire and the one trying to eliminate him.

Vicente was currently stronger than this vampire in terms of level, but such a vampire had many different methods to protect himself or even endanger the magician's life.

If Vicente could destroy the vampire's body and force the creature's soul out of it, he could threaten him by using his mana to extinguish the vampire's soul. But for that to work, he would first have to be able to threaten the vampire to such an extent that the creature would have to expose himself to him in a moment of weakness.

Torne didn't see how his master could do that at the moment, so he didn't think it was worth it for Vicente to get into a deadly confrontation with the vampire.

'I can join you in trying to kill him, but our chances of winning without major losses won't be high. But if we can immobilize him for a few hours, we might gain enough time for you to complete your current plans for this state and for me to take you to one of the Cataclysm Order's outposts.' Torne said to Vicente.

His thoughts were simple. If he risked fusing his powers with Vicente's, as he had done before, he would run a significant risk of slipping back into an unconscious state. But if he remained unconscious, he wouldn't be able to help Vicente reach the hidden locations of the Cataclysm Order.

On the other hand, even if he sacrificed himself in such a way, Torne wasn't sure if Vicente could kill the vampire in front of them.

Vicente's first magical form was very good, but it was especially weak against vampires. Other powers on the continent would have been able to kill this vampire with much less power than Vicente. However, that was his reality against such an opponent, something he couldn't do much about now.

His second magical form would probably be good against the vampire. Still, after the last use of it, Vicente and Torne knew that he could no longer use it casually. If he did so before adding his fourth pentagram to the first magical form, he would suffer terribly in a way he had never experienced before.

'All right, let's do what you suggest.' Vicente made up his mind as the creature looked at him with a thirst for blood.

"Young magician, come to me." The vampire said as he gestured to Vicente, while his surroundings distorted and he became infinitely more seductive than he had been a moment ago.

Even Layla and Casey, who weren't in this creature's sight now, noticed that he became much more pleasing to their eyes, as they felt that they could trust this creature.

Gulp!

'What a strong, seductive power!' Layla moved to avoid falling into the enemy's trap.

Casey had a strong mental power, so he also saw through the enemy's power. Still, he couldn't help but be shocked by the creature's unusual ability to manipulate the mind.

"Vicente..." He muttered as he looked at his friend.

Vicente then shouted. "Casey and Layla, you should work together. It wasn't my plan, but let's face these two!"

Layla understood what this meant and didn't question the fact that these were different orders than before.

Casey's father activated his abilities when he saw his son moving and said. "Stand still, son. You're here to be my master's food!"

"Fuck you, you old bastard! I'll kill you!"
