Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 207

The Fire Pillar created a huge scene attracting not just the nearby Vampire but also the Awakened Teams and soldiers gathered around the City.

The Fire Pillar reaches about 50 meters after all.

With such a height, there were many people who had seen this and felt Kendel’s Aura.

“An S-Rank Awakened!”

“They’re here helping us!”

“They must be fighting the strongest Vampires!”

“Don’t give up!”

“As long as we patiently wait, we will definitely be saved!”

Everyone who had felt the Aura of a powerful Awakened had a renewed strength. Since they know that they aren’t alone fighting the Vampires, they felt a lot better… Especially now that they know that an S-Rank Awakened is on their ranks.

However, the man in question is now fleeing with all his might together with Asta and the soldiers.

Apparently, before the Noble Vampire was eaten by the Fire Pillar, two more Noble Vampires appeared and protected their fellow Vampires.

Kendel thought that there although they will be injured by the Fire Pillar, there was no way it would kill three Nobles at once!

This is why he immediately ordered a retreat so they could take a Holy Artifact to fight against them.

“Sir Kendel! The Mass Blood Sacrifice made on the other side of the city provides an almost infinite regenerative ability to the Noble Vampires on that side. We have to do something about that pool of blood they’re using there. Do you know any method to destroy it? At this rate, it will just continue to increase as more people die.”

One of the soldiers consulted the S-Rank Awakened.

Right now, the soldiers could only rely on modern weapons to suppress the Vampire but not to kill them.

This is the sad truth they have to accept so they needed the help of the professional Explorers who have fought against these monsters inside the Arcane World.

“Hmm… This is difficult.”

Kendel thought for a moment as he considers a method on how to deactivate the Blood Sacrifice.

Unfortunately, his two Rank-S Artifacts are only good for Spatial Movement and Physical Attacks. As for Asta’s Rank-S Artifact, it has no burst or destructive ability that she can use.

“We probably need the help of other S-Rank Awakened with suited Artifacts. Canceling the Blood Sacrifice requires a Magical Ability. We can’t destroy it with physical attacks.”

“Have you tried bombing them?” Asta asked.

They were currently on top of an Armored Vehicle as they got closer and closer to the stadium. Luckily, the cars on the road have been rammed on the sides by the Army which gave them a path of escape.

“We tried… However, the Vampire’s Blood Mist can protect it. Haa~ Even shooting the Vampires on their heads is not effective. It’s really too difficult without proper Artifacts.”

Even the soldier can only complain about the unfairness of the situation.

“Help! Help! Someone! Please help!”

A middle-aged man who’s about 300 pounds shouted while running for his life. He’s wearing a suit and tie like an office worker but his face looked flushed. He seems to be intoxicated by alcohol. Anyway, there are two other girls behind him as well who seemed to be dizzy.

Of course, the soldiers stopped to help them out.

“Why are you guys so slow evacuating! Look everywhere! This has become a battlefield!” One of the female soldiers inside the Armored Vehicle couldn’t help but scold them. However, she still helped them up so they could leave the place.

“Our room was soundproof, we were sleeping…” The man sighed in relief after getting inside the vehicle.

On the other hand, Asta and Kendel remained seated on top of the vehicle to protect it from wandering vampire bats.

“Ahh! Wait! Let’s go back! I didn’t bring the briefcase!” The overweight man shouted after recalling his baggage.

“What? There’s no time for that!”

“That’s important! Hurry up and stop this thing!” The man continued shouting as one of the soldiers is already planning to put this guy unconscious…

However, before the soldier could do anything, they felt a sinister aura coming from the bodies of the three individuals they just rescued!

“They’re infected! No!”

The nearest soldier noticed that they were actually bitten by the Vampire already! They were familiar acting like normal humans!

Blood Burst!

An explosion occurred within the vehicle! The three familiars exploded almost without any delay killing the entire squad of soldiers.

Luckily, Asta reacted swiftly as she jumped away. However, Kendel was caught by the blast and his condition is unknown…

“No!”

Asta dropped to the ground as she saw Kendel’s body get covered by the Blood Burst.

Kendel may have an Artifact that allows him to move in a long distance but it requires time to activate it. There was no way for him to escape that explosion unless he activated his Full Armor and covered his whole body with his S-Rank Aura in that instant.

However, Kendel actually used some of his Aura to contain the explosion to ensure Asta’s safety!

“You!” Asta doesn’t know what to do as she looked at the area of the explosion. The vehicle was gone together with people inside. It was replaced by a crater caused by the Blood Burst.

Kendel and everyone else died from the powerful ability.

In truth, this could’ve been avoided if they just sent their Aura to carefully inspect the people they’re trying to help.

Unfortunately, they are still lacking in experience on how to deal with vampires. They are just learning it now the hard way.

Asta gritted her teeth as she looked around. She didn’t see the Noble Vampire at all but he must be hiding somewhere. Nevertheless, she didn’t leave yet as she needed to find something.

“There…”

Asta moved swiftly as she retrieved, Kendel’s two S-Rank Artifact. The Roaring Battle Axe and the Blink Bracelet…

As soon as she retrieved them, Asta moved with haste as she needed to replenish her Aura and obtain the Holy Artifacts.

‘I will avenge you!’ Asta tightened her grip on the Artifacts as she recalled Kendel’s last moments. The two of them did not expect to die here at all.

Her mind has a single goal as she dashed in silence…

***

Versailles City, Forbes Park Subdivision.

Bonnie couldn’t help but worry about the ongoing slaughter of the Vampires in Flushdenn City.

There was just a report that hundred of vampires broke away from the formation of the Army and went to other cities and towns.

She learned that Vampires can create familiars using their Blood Magic and it’s only a matter of time before the Vampires can increase their force.

Ring! Ring!

“Vanessa? What’s the situation?” Bonnie worriedly asked after picking up the phone.

“I’m alright, Miss Bonnie. I just called you to provide you with the intelligence we have about the Vampires. Well, I thought that Cyril might need it once he goes out. This intelligence is what we got from the Special Being inside the Union’s Arcane World. He should know what I mean by that.” Vanessa really wanted to bring out all the S-Rank Awakened they could call.

This is why she’s not giving up and providing intelligence to Cyril in case he suddenly comes out.

“Got it! Thank you for providing this to us.” Bonnie immediately thanked the kind lady of the Strauss Family. She didn’t know who’s this Special Being but she had a hunch that it was not human considering the term she used.

Nevertheless, she didn’t ask about it and just accepted the information.

Just like what she said, their house phone received an email about top-secret information about the Vampires.

Of course, Bonnie didn’t wait for Cyril to open it with her since she’s already curious about this.

She read about the Vampire’s several Blood Magics and surprisingly, it has information on why the vampires weren’t weakened by the sunlight as of yet.

“So it’s really an outbreak… How come this has never happened before? Why now?” Bonnie read that the High-Class Arcane World of the Vampires has indeed reached its limit. It was fractured to the point that it created a crack where the Vampires could get out and escape to the human world.

The cause of this is still unknown and still being studied by experts. Nevertheless, the information shows that the Outbreak may not only happen today but also in the future!

Aside from that, based on the information from the Special Being, the creatures that have come out of their Arcane World would have about 48 hours boost on their strength! With such a timeframe, it would not be surprising that the monsters can cause so many casualties in the human world!

Bonnie trembled after seeing the information.

It seems that there will be another era in this world. It is no longer the Awakened Era but the Monster Outbreak Era…

At this time, the news on the television also reported thousands of death within the city.

Right now, even the neighboring countries are sending their help hoping that the vampires can be contained in only a single region to avoid more casualties.
