Inevitable Road To Divinity

Chapter 72 Drugged monsters and vampires

Xue Ren was moving quickly towards the source of explosion.

However, soon, he had to stop. The area of the dam was closed. Many disciples were evacuating the citizens as far as possible from the dam. One of them had noticed Xue Ren as he shouted...

"Leave! The army of monsters have broken through the first dam!"

"Army?"

"Yes, that's why leave quickly!"

The disciple turned around. He didn't believe that Xue Ren would just follow him after he has told him about the army of monsters...

'Hasn't Duan Qiu told me that monsters from the Dark West Mountains can only come either alone or with small groups?'

This means that situation was worse than he thought... Either monsters got new leader or... someone was helping them...

Following the disciple, he was going towards the battlefield. In his mind was the story of the hero from Duan Family. Xue Ren's goal was to find Duan Qiu and protect her and her family forces if the situation would allow him... he can't risk his life for normal disciples...

The first dam!

"How can this be..."

Duan Qiu mumbled to herself with voice full of fear. The first dam that usually stood strong was now filled with blood. The smell of human's and monster blood reek throughout the area... She summoned her spirit sword and quickly went towards the group of monsters...

Slash! Duan Qiu nimbly attacked releasing her magic and spirit at the same time. The monsters who had look similar to that of bear didn't dodge her sword. They took the slashes bravely on themselves and like kamikaze, immediately rushed to pounce at her...

Swinging her sword, Duan Qiu quickly released another set of attacks. The 'bears' who where the closest to her fell immediately. Those from behind did their best to approach her as quickly as possible while others began to eat the fallen comrades...

'What?'

It confused Duan Qiu as she has never heard about this. Actually, the monsters themselves were strange. As if on drugs, they didn't think properly and could only rush furiously...

"Young Miss! Don't let them eat!"

"!"

Duan Qiu heard one of her family guardians warning, thus, she quickly moved and distrubed the feast. Angering the monsters even more, she releaseda two series of her spirit sword slashes, but!

"They aren't falling?!"

Those monsters already had felt her sword several times. Duan Qiu believed that she would kill them with this attack, but as if they regenerated, they could withstand more and even move faster...

"Young Miss, they can suck the blood and regenerate themselves like vampires!"

"Eh?"

"The highest elder already has spotted the vampires... It's confirmed that they have drugged the monsters..."

"Vampires..."

"Young Miss, please take a look."

The guard passed down a scroll. When Duan Qiu unscrolled it, the images from before began to appear inside her mind.

'Similar to that from monument!'

The wolf had very similar appearance to the wolf from the momunemnt she had shown for Xue Ren. The monster had younger appearance, but the ferociousness was on totally another level. Was it because she could see it 'alive'?

The truth is that this monster is drugged just like any other from the 'army'. But, the amount of vampire's blood inside this 'wolf leader' was tremendous. Much larger than normal beast from Dark West Mountains...

Its whole body was covered by large chains stopping its furious movement. The wolf's leader enormous body was trying non stop to break those chains, but such action only brought more pain to its body...

However, the wolf was already drugged so much, that all it could feel was its anger. The blood that has been flowing down incessantly was so hot that the steam was coming from it...

"Scary..."

Duan Qiu mumbled to herself as she lightly shivered. Her eyes moved to the humans standing behind the monsters... No, to the vampires...

Vampires were wearing long black robes completely covering their bodies. Still, their faces could be easily seen as they didn't wear anything on their faces. The beast red eyes that outshined everything and pale skin that was so pale as if they didn't know about the sun...

Then, her beautiful hazel eyes moved to the vampire that was laughing maniacally. She easily could see his teeth...

'Doesn't Xue Ren have the similar ones?'

Such sudden thought... She has noticed this during their deep kissing, but had no time to ask about this. Now, seeing the real vampire for the first time... she couldn't help, but feel a little betrayed...

'If Xue Ren is vampire...'

As she thought about this, she suddenly turned around. The guards that have gathered around her to help their young miss with monsters got surprised by her action, but they quickly recovered as they shouted...

"Young Miss, what's wrong?"

"I must do something first. Go help others!"

Duan Qiu who said this was already far away.

Xue Ren has already arrived at the first dam. The sight of humans and monsters fighting was rather not that pleasant, but he quickly narrowed his eyes as he could feel...

'Vampire's aura...'

Those monsters had vampire regeneration attribute! Such thing was surprising and this already notified Xue Ren that soon, he is going to meet vampire for the first time. The real, living vampire. Not those annoying nobles from the memories of his past...

"Or maybe exactly those annoying nobles will be the first ones to appear before me..."

Xue Ren thought as he could feel someones gaze on him. He was still hiding himself from other families as he didn't want to burden them with his pressence...

Still, someone has found him, thus, turning his eyes...

"Duan Qiu?"

He saw little red beauty looking at him without any expression. Her eyes were a bit red, thus, he couldn't help but worryingly ask...

"Did you cry?"

"Open your mouth."

She didn't answer him, but asked another question. He followed her instructions completely oblivious that he is going to expose his teeth that were longer...

As Duan Qiu saw them, she bursted with tears. Still, she summoned her sword and pointed it at him. With her tears flowing down, she shouted...

"What's your objective... vampire?!"

Her words tightened his heart...
