"Woooo

The sound of breaking the air resounded fiercely in the uninhabited alley, causing the arrows to burst in the direction of Riege and his party like a downpour, not missing a single corner.

The surrounding buildings were baptized by the rain of arrows, causing some of the arrows to fall on them and pierce the walls.

Lahath and the others quickly reacted to the rain of arrows, and just as they were about to respond, Rig sang magic first.

"The Wall of Arrows."

Suddenly, the air flow around me changed.

Rigor sings about magic that weakens shooting attacks.

Therefore, when the flow of the air changed, the rain of arrows that were shooting towards everyone like a downpour was immediately affected by the air current, and began to lose its accuracy one after another.

With a "do-do-do" sound, all the arrows that had lost their accuracy deviated from their main target, either grazing past the bodies of Rig and the others, or falling from mid-air as if they had lost their strength, or stabbing into the ground or into the surrounding buildings.

It was only then that Lahagi and the others took action, scattering each other, no longer gathering together, so as not to be attacked by the enemy's concentration, only Rige remained in place, without moving.

"Twitter—"

Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out.

Everyone found that after the rain of arrows, a large black shadow flew out of the prison-like building.

"Be careful!"

Evelai's eyesight seemed to be above that of everyone present, and he immediately saw the body of the group of black shadows, shouting to everyone present.

"It's a vampire bat!"

Vampire bats, which are a group of small bat monsters that, as the name suggests, attack humans, attack living beings, and suck their blood.

This kind of monster is not strong, it can even be said to be very weak, if you calculate it by the level of "YGGDRASIL", they are only level 1 or 2 monsters at most, and even the lowest-level bronze level adventurers can easily deal with it.

But the most tricky thing about vampire bats is not the strength of the individual body, but the fact that they usually act in groups, and every time they appear, they are a large group together, if they encounter a relatively large group of vampire bats, it will be very difficult to deal with even a Mithril-level adventurer team.

This monster is also one of the most commonly summoned and enlisted monsters by vampires, so if a vampire bat swarm appears, it usually means that there are vampires nearby that summon and serve them, and the larger the vampire swarm, the stronger the vampire who summons them.

Now, the number of vampire bats flying out of the building in front of Rig and the others was large enough to be described as obscuring the sky, and the dense gushing out of the scene shocked Yvere.

"Why—How can there be so many vampire bats......!?"

It's not just Eville who mourns, but Lahasis and the others all have a change in complexion.

"Ggran! Tia! Tina! Stand back!"

Lahagi hurriedly gave instructions.

"......Shh

Gran, Tia, and Tina were speechless one after another, but did not disobey Lahagi's instructions, and quickly retreated. ….

"This amount ......"

Brian also frowned and stepped back.

In the face of such a large number of flying monsters, warriors like Brian and Gegran who use hand-to-hand combat as their main means of combat have a considerable disadvantage.

After all, the range of the warrior attack means is too few, or even completely none, if you fall into the encirclement of the vampire bat swarm, it will definitely not be able to kill, it will definitely be like an elephant that is bitten to death by ants, being slowly bitten and sucking blood, and finally falling to the miserable end of dying of excessive blood loss.

That's why Lahaz made warriors like Gergran back down, and even Tia and Tina were shouted down by her, leaving only the magic bards who could use a wide range of attacks to stand in front of the vampire bats.

「

[Fly]!"

Ivelère was the first to act, using flying magic, and flew in the direction of the sky, attracting some of the vampire bats.

"[Magic Enhancement: Crystallization Shot]!"

Immediately afterward, Iverai unleashed a skill-enhanced spell that turned countless crystals into bullets and shot at the vampire bats.

"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" ……

The crystallized bullets struck a large number of vampire bats that pounced on Yvere, shooting them out of mid-air and flying them one by one, splattered with blood.

"Come on! Floating Sword!"

Lahasi gave an order, causing a cone-shaped sword to rise from her back.

It was a magic prop that Lahas had wielded——— floating sword group.

As the name suggests, this magic item is a group of free-floating swords that can be transformed into free-flying swords under the control of Lahagi to shoot through enemies from a long distance.

Now, Lass activated this magic item, causing a flying sword to fly out and rush back and forth in the vampire bats, as if being held and waved by an invisible person, cutting down the vampire bats one by one.

Unfortunately, there were so many vampire bats that even though Lahas and Eville launched a large-scale attack and killed many of them, many of them still passed through them and flew towards the warriors in the rear.

Naturally, Rig has also become a target for vampire bats.

In such a situation, Rig used a spell.

"[Reject the cocoon of life]."

It is a guardian magic that can keep life out and make it impossible for living beings to pass through.

As Rig chanted this magic, a light shield with a radius of about ten meters rose from the ground, enveloping Rig and the rest of the warriors, protecting them.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ……

The vampire bats crashed into the cocoon-shaped mask one by one, and then were bounced off by the mask, completely unable to pass through the mask and attack Li Ge and the others inside the mask.

"[Shockwave]."

At this moment, Rig unleashed a second-order attributeless magic, causing an invisible shockwave that distorted the atmosphere to sweep around like an invisible explosion.

"Bang ——!"

With a roaring sound, a large number of vampire bats were blasted away by the shockwave, sprinkling large swaths of black mist-like blood in mid-air, flying upside down and falling to the ground. ….

"Good!"

"Awesome!"

Seeing this scene, Lahas and Evel, who were going to come to support, suddenly couldn't help but scream.

"Is Brihaut-sama really a magic bard?"

Brian, who saw Rigg use magic for the first time, was amazed.

It was the first time he had seen Rig use magic, and when Gurdjieff said that Rig was a magic chanter, he didn't believe it, but now he had to believe it.

It's just that a magic chant can actually swing such a stunning slash, and I have to say that Brian's feelings are quite complicated.

Gergran and the others didn't think about it that much.

When they saw that Li Ge was protecting themselves and the others, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then they noticed the appearance of the second abnormal situation.

"Something is coming again!"

Gran shouted, causing the group to quickly look in the direction of the building.

The next moment, everyone saw that from the prison-like building, a group of black shadows moving on the ground also poured out, approaching this side.

There are two types of shadows that come closer.

One is that the body is completely dehydrated, as if it has turned into a dry corpse, and it is a person who staggers towards this side.

Their movements were stiff, with sharp claws at the front of their withered arms, red glow from their empty eye sockets, and slightly open mouths

Barry also has unusually sharp canine teeth, and at a glance he knows that it is not a human, but a monster.

"It's a low-level vampire!"

Tia and Tina immediately told everyone the identity of the monsters.

The so-called low-level vampire is actually a subordinate species of vampires, a kind of degraded vampire.

Ordinary vampires are undead beings with almost the same intelligence as humans, and some of them have the exact same appearance as humans, and they not only possess far more physical and strength than humans, but also have many special abilities, basically except for special weapons made of silver and metals equivalent to silver, and magical weapons with a certain degree of power, any physical attacks that fall on them will be mitigated.

The low-level vampire is different, this kind of degraded vampire like a shriveled corpse, although it has the memory of life, but its thinking ability is low, and its combat effectiveness is also quite low, far less than the orthodox vampire.

They are generally born after being sucked dry by vampires, and are subject to the domination and enslavement of vampires who create their own.

At this moment, a large number of low-level vampires came out of the building, roaring and stiffening towards this direction.

"Is it the man in the Eight Fingers?"

"I see, they've all been transformed into vampires."

Tia and Tina spoke out one by one.

"There's a vampire wolf next to it."

Gergran had already drawn his weapon, his heavy spike hammer in hand, and cast a sharp, hostile gaze at another dark shadow beside the low-level vampires.

I saw that beside those low-level vampires, there was also a group of monsters dressed in pitch black, as if shrouded in the night, with a pair of red eyes glowing with evil wisdom, and the appearance was like a wolf. ….

The vampire wolf, a monster with excellent tracking abilities, like vampire bats, usually appears as a vampire's dependent, enslaved and dominated by vampires.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE MUCH STRONGER THAN VAMPIRE BATS, AND IF THEY ARE PLACED IN "YGGDRASIL", THEY ARE AT LEAST LEVEL 7 OR SO, AND SOMETIMES EVEN STRONGER THAN LOW-LEVEL VAMPIRES.

They were also extremely agile, not as sluggish as low-level vampires, and after rushing out of the building, they immediately ran wild like real wolves, and some even jumped on the surrounding buildings, clinging to the walls like geckos, and surrounded in the direction of Rig's party.

Of course, there are quite a few of them, and at a glance you can tell that they have been summoned by very high-level vampires.

「…… I now believe that the monster that secretly controls [Eight Fingers] is definitely a vampire, and it is a vampire that is much stronger than our family's little one."

Gergran whispered something like this, silencing both Tia and Tina next to her.

Being able to summon and enlist such a number of vampire bats, vampire wolves, and low-level vampires, how strong the other party is as a vampire is is simply clearly placed in front of everyone.

"Damn! How could such a powerful vampire suddenly appear?"

Even Yvere, who flew in the air, seemed to be extremely unwilling to admit this, and spat there.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ……

At this time, the agile vampire wolf had already pounced in front of everyone, some in the direction of Lahagi, the only one left on the ground and had not yet been protected by magic, and some crashed into the light shield of [Refusal of Life Cocoon], causing a loud collision sound.

"Hah!"

She had already started to use magic, attaching various support spells to herself, and after improving her abilities, she manipulated the floating sword swarms to kill the flying swords in all directions, killing vampire wolves and vampire bats one after another.

"Crystal Shield!"

Ivelai also spread a barrier formed by crystals around his body.

It is able to defend against a certain degree of attack, although it will gradually fade with the number of attacks, but it can block all attacks that have not reached the upper limit of defense

Magic outside the barrier.

The barrier formed by the crystal turned into a protective shield, protecting Ivelwai, whether it was the bite of a vampire bat or the claw strike of a vampire wolf, when it landed on it, it could only peel off a layer of powder, and could not attack Ivelai inside.

"Fireball."

Rig finally unleashed the fire magic in the [Cocoon of Rejection of Life], causing the scorching flames to converge from the front of his fingertips, spinning and expanding as they swelled.

It didn't take long for the flames to swell to the point where they were larger than the others, leaving everyone who saw this scene with stunned expressions.

"So—Is that still a fireball......!?"

Evelwai let out a cry full of falteringness.

Rig ignored them and shot a large fireball at his fingertips, allowing it to pass through the light shield of the [Refusal of Life Cocoon] and hit the onrushing vampire wolves and vampire bats.

"Rumble ——!"

An astonishing explosion suddenly appeared, and a huge fireball exploded on the spot, setting off a wave of fire that engulfed both the vampire wolf and the vampire bat.

For a while, countless vampire wolves and vampire bats were scorched in the fire wave, and even the corpses were carbonized, turned into ashes and disappeared, even the monsters that were lucky enough not to be swallowed by the fire wave were blown away by the explosion, and crashed into the surrounding buildings one by one.

「————」

Such a grand explosion shocked the countless monsters rushing to this side, and for a moment they didn't dare to approach in the direction of Li Ge at all, but stopped and retreated tremblingly.

Lathax, Yverai, Brian, Gergran, Tia and Tina all unconsciously stopped what they were doing, and looked at Rig who had calmly withdrawn his fingers, with a look of fear in his eyes.

It's like talking
