"Consider yourself unlucky because you will realize that being alive for a few more minutes will be worse than being thrown into the deepest pits of hell!" Dilan said before he turned into a purple blur.

He disappeared from the sight of the Melza family's patriarch, just to hear the anguished cries of his opponent's subordinates around him.

The patriarch could feel their helplessness and the way they were being slowly tortured to death in the most painful way possible, which was transmitted straight to him. As the master of his Vampires, he could sense that they wanted to be relieved of the pain.

It may not be possible for him to actually feel their pain but he could clearly sense whenever one of them was being killed.

And that happened several times in a matter of seconds. He couldn't move for a few seconds because his body was being reassembled after he had been killed.

His occupational ability [A Phoenix's rebirth] was something that would activate itself the moment he died. It would resurrect him at a safe position near the location he had been killed.

[A Phoenix's rebirth] could only be used once a day which was why he was very careful while fighting enemies. The ability was very powerful, yet not enough to face Dilan. This was something the Melza family's patriarch noticed quite quickly.

He wanted to let the masses of his powerful subordinates take charge of Dilan, and decimate the human group with his Ancient Vampire Power. However, the patriarch quickly realized that this was also not that easy.

Two huge, Skeleton Minotaurs appeared in front of the Melza family's patriarch. They held huge, spiked maces in each of their hands, which they smashed down onto the body of the noble Vampires.

Yvonne had appeared high in the air above Dilan's battlefield. She had gotten her hands on two Gold Tier-1 Minotaur Leaders after she had upgraded her Origin ability.

By conquering the Pagoda of Time twice, she had collected numerous Essence crystals, which were all used to upgrade her Growth ability [Death Curse] as well. Thus, the moment she started to fight after undergoing all possible upgrades, her strength had increased and now easily rivaled an ordinary Tier-2 existence.

In fact, even the Thunderbolt Eagle may not be strong enough to defeat Yvonne anymore! The skeletons of the Minotaur Leaders were basically unaffected by the elements. Only the holy and light element would harm them severely which was a huge plus.

Shrouded by the [Death Curse] ability of Yvonne, the strength of the Undeads she controlled increased exponentially, which was something the patriarch of the Melza family realized quite quickly.

The maces smashed down on his shoulders, breaking them at once. He was only able to move after the maces impacted on him but that was barely in time to avoid getting killed.

With a swift stride, he disappeared from his position, evading the follow-up attack of the Minotaur Leaders. Yvonne pinpointed the patriarch's new position and the Minotaur Leaders charged in the said direction.

However, before they could reach the noble Vampire, a compressed lightning strike shot past them. A purple flash followed suit and a woman wielding a purplish longsword and wearing light but highly protective metal armor emerged in front of the patriarch.

Kathrine and Yvonne had been ordered to finish off the Melza family's patriarch after Dilan had tired him out. He was only a Tier-1 existence, and the strongest power he had was his Ancient Vampire Power, the [Blazing Wind of Evernight].

This power was entirely useless against Yvonne's Undeads, and Kathrine could evade the blazing winds quite easily. Kathrine was supposed to use her abilities to restrict the noble Vampire, while Yvonne's Undeads would enter close combat to kill him.

Both the girls fought together against the patriarch because he was one of the strongest opponents that had appeared in the army of 1500 Vampires and 300 Gold Tier-1 monsters.

With a single attack, it would be possible for the Melza family's patriarch to decimate the Undying group's Ascenders by dozens, if not hundreds.

That was something Sven had realized quite quickly. His eyes were moving rapidly and his mind was rattling like never before. He was seeing everything that could be seen with his strength, which included where everyone had to be at which point.

As he was aware of the strength of every single Ascender in the Undying group, Sven controlled everyone accurately. He shoved the most important figures in the areas they were needed, whether they liked it or not. It allowed the ordinary and relatively weaker Ascenders to have an easier time fighting against fewer opponents.

Unfortunately, this didn't mean that everything was perfect because the Vampires were much stronger than expected, especially a small number of evenly spread out Vampires that were wreaking havoc.

Other than the patriarch of the Melza family, there were two Vampires, who seemed to be as dangerous as him. However, that didn't mean they were 'the' most powerful, especially since there were close to 25 Tier-2 Vampires.

These Tier-2 Vampires were just the biggest threat for the Undying group because their abilities could affect all Ascenders the moment they would be unleashed in their direction.

Fortunately, the rest of the Vampires were still at Tier-1, which was quite obvious due to the high difficulties in advancing to Tier-2 with high-quality occupations.

Victoria faced one of the remaining two threatening opponents, while Williams, Oliver, Ailee, Kira, Kuhn, and Silas faced the last overly powerful Vampire, who was surrounded by a few Tier-2 Vampires.

Williams and his people had the biggest problem because their agility was much lower than the other Vampires. The Agilt family decided to jump in the battle to support the other vampires not too long ago.

They had realized as the first Clan that it wouldn't be as easy to get the five Sanctum Keys as expected. Thus, instead of allowing themselves and the other clans to get destroyed and meet their deaths, they had chosen to sacrifice their pride to support their brethren.

The last powerful Vampire belonged to the Bryte family, whose Vampire Power was infinite strength. They labeled their power 'Infinite strength' but their physical strength was merely higher than others…a lot higher. Yvonne's Minotaur Leaders would be crushed under the brute force of the Vampire, whose supernatural strength power had merged with his Origin ability.

It was a simple Origin ability but those were the most dangerous, especially since it allowed the Vampire to change the shape of his body. [Monstrous Shifting] was the name of the fused Ancient Vampire Power and it was powerful enough to kill everyone around him.

This noble Vampire of the Bryte Clan was considered to be the strongest foe in the entire army of 1500 Vampires and 300 Gold Tier-1 monsters. However, Dilan had yet to face this opponent because he was ordered to move around.

Several groups of Ascenders were ordered to keep the noble Vampire in check, including Williams and the others. They gave their utmost to survive and to subdue or tire out the Vampire but his strength was overwhelming.

After his brothers, sisters and subordinates were added to the fray, the Bryte clan's physical strength seemed to turn into a force to reckon with.

Victoria was forced to join them and to use her Blood-Ice to further restrict them.

However, this didn't make things easier, especially since she had already used lots of her power to help Dilan a moment ago.

"Fuck, we're losing grounds…" Williams cursed out as he was pushed backward. They had to retreat several steps and were about to be forced to go back into the city.

At that moment, a few traps had been activated, catching dozens of Vampires and injuring them. This decreased the pressure on the groups of Ascenders tremendously and they could start counter-attacking them with renewed vigor.

As long as each group of five Ascenders would fight a single, or at most two ordinary Vampires everything would be hopefully fine.

This couldn't be guaranteed but Dilan and everyone were doing their best to fight the Ordinary and Bronze Tier-2 Vampires and the strongest Tier-1 Vampires, who had either powerful abilities, occupations or noble Vampire powers!

[Retreat to the city. We will face them there!]
