Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven and his team’s ambush site was not near the granary, nor was it in the Tesser Refugee Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they positioned themselves in the forest on the mountainside near the Tesser Refugee Camp, backed by the mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was done to accommodate Black Nanmu and Thornspike, whose enormous sizes were too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were near the Tesser Refugee Camp, they would surely have raised the alarm of those cunning vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their visits to the refugee camp were not one or two instances; they wouldn’t fail to remember the presence, or lack thereof, of large trees nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people, an ambush from seven to eight hundred meters away might seem too distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for two towering Treants with long legs, this was a mere two to three hundred steps, especially downhill, where they could move even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their position offered an excellent vantage point, not only allowing them to see what was happening at the granary but also enabling them to survey the refugee camp without obstruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist brought by the vampires was not a true fog that enveloped everything in sight; at most, it was a thin layer clinging close to the ground, not even dense enough to shroud taller constructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they charged into the granary, and the Sanctum was activated, the black mist they brought with them naturally dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was the moment Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven and his team would come to the rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unexpected development forced them to halt their steps of reinforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before they attacked the granary, the vampire mist split in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One part remained to assault the granary, while the other surged towards the mountainside where Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven and his team suspect for a moment that their whereabouts had been exposed, and the vampires had dispatched a portion of their forces to wipe them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ambushers were few, but elite; even facing this sudden turn of events, they could contain their impulses and watch quietly for changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t expose their location until the very last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, it was a false alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wave of vampire mist didn’t continue up the mountainside but circled around the granary and the church, stopping here and there along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for several minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarves Soulsnare Daphne whispered urgently, “Sacrificial Array, hurry and stop it, there’s a vampire spellcaster in the mist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sacrificial Array.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regina repeatedly questioned, “Can you discern what kind of Sacrificial Array it is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it for summoning, or is it a sacrifice to the gods?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no way to tell,” answered Daphne, “but it’s definitely of the evil kind, extremely evil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can’t be a summoning Sacrificial Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main objective of these Dwarves Vampires is to break the seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By profane means, they essentially require two things: blood and souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve been attempting to use blood until now, probably realizing it’s ineffective; they’re likely preparing to use souls.” Lord Virginia offered a rational conjecture, “The Sacrificial Array might be one that extracts souls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne nodded in agreement, “Very likely, since all Sacrificial Arrays involve souls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what the other side is preparing, as long as we prevent them from succeeding, that’s all that matters,” Regina said as she glanced at Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, who still lay wrapped up by Thornspike like a corpse, and couldn’t help but ask, “Can we wake Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven had been in this state since before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Daphne, he had been marked by the Goddess of Undead Vengeance, making him appear like a beacon of light in the night to all followers of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance—the more conspicuous, the brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this group of Dwarves Vampires was likely related to the Goddess of Undead Vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting an ambush here was probably like lighting the way for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, Lord Virginia had cast a seventh-level Isolation Spell on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spell can put someone into a state of feigned death, not only evading detection and location by prediction spells, but also remaining invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regina could now see him because Lord Virginia had set it up that way; to everyone else, there was nothing but a pile of tangled vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Virginia’s gaze flickered, and he shook his head, saying, “Don’t rush for now, attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps influenced by Gaven, she had a particular fondness for the element of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, protected by the Isolation Spell, was the hidden trump card on Thornspike; at a critical moment, he could potentially have a surprising effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Thornspike and Black Nanmu started running down, although there were only two of them, the momentum they created was not small by any means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Thornspike, with the Dragon Oak War Banner fluttering in the wind, each step caused a minor tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At best, they were jogging, with most of their energy focused on maintaining balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their speed was not slow at all, a benefit of long legs, covering the distance of more than ten steps of others in a single stride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a loud commotion could be heard even by a fool, let alone the exceptionally alert Dwarves Vampire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a horde of monsters charged out from the Vampire mist, full of ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These monsters were a mixed and disorderly bunch, including the massive Comanso Tiger, four-armed gorillas, and Owl Bears, among others, more than a dozen in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters previously sent to attack the granary were not all controlled by the Vampire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awooo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dog Demon, marching alongside the two Treants, howled to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awooo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awooo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awooo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, countless responses echoed around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of wild wolves rushed out from the darkness, converging alongside the Dog Demon and the two Treants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both teams were essentially invisible to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in terms of momentum, they were very much like two squads of human knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thornspike fully embodied the nickname of Treant Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the start, Thornspike turned its arms into auxiliary legs, charging down the hill with six limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, its upper body was too heavy, and while it was manageable on flat ground, going downhill was a definite issue with balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it adopted a charging stance, that problem was no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the eyes of onlookers, this was not a knight’s charge, but a Siege Hammer charging forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A four-armed gorilla stood upright, furiously beating its chest with all four arms, then its figure visibly swelled at an eyeball-visible rate, turning into an enormous peak form, approaching the size of a giant monstrosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enlarge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This four-armed gorilla was not a common existence either but a mutated species with spell-like abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It likely often took advantage of this power to bully others, being the dominant force in its own territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thornspike’s charge provoked its competitive spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four arms supported its run, hopping and jumping as it eagerly charged straight towards Thornspike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Thornspike didn’t have a suitable target for his charge, as his body limited him to lock onto targets of large size and above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he set his sights on that fool who knew nothing of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Prince of the Foul Giants, a naturally Transcendent being,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was forced to use his own kind as a shield against the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention an untamed beast that reigned supreme in a forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferocious counter-attack became a joke, as the beast got skewered on Thornspike’s huge log-like spear, turning into a new medal of honor for Thornspike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thornspike carried the four-armed gorilla, which had reverted to its original form, charging madly into the refugee camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, it kicked aside an owl bear that was too slow to evade and its thrashing tail swept away a Comanso tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they hit the ground, they were very much more out of breath than in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene resembled a heavy truck barrelling into a small car during a high-speed chase, the latter sure to be severely damaged on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the former, it hardly felt anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of the two sides was simply not on the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Black Nanmu had a smaller frame than Thornspike, its level of danger was no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only because of the ever-whirling Touch of Agony, granting it a greater attack range in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also because it wasn’t fighting alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Dwarves Soulsnares, each more ferocious than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Daphne, whose eyes sparkled at the sight of a Comanso tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Comanso tiger swatted away by Thornspike didn’t even hit the ground before Daphne wrapped her arms around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much the Comanso tiger struggled and thrashed upon landing, it couldn’t shake off Daphne, nor could it possibly do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because what Daphne had ensnared wasn’t its body, but its soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of the Comanso tiger’s unwilling and desperate roars, Daphne forcibly dragged its soul out of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freshly extracted soul of the Comanso tiger was still defiant and struggled fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Black Nanmu whipped it, pulling the soul into his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne followed suit and went in after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she re-emerged, the soul of the Comanso tiger had become her mount, as docile as a kitten, running wherever she pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tiger soul did not become another Soul Prison; instead, it became Daphne’s subordinate mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three Dwarves Soulsnares, following her example, specifically targeted those who were heavily injured and half-dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they stormed into the camp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had all become Dwarves Ghost Knights, with two Comanso tigers and two owl bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They probably found the four-armed gorillas too ugly or perhaps not suited to be mounts, for none of the Dwarves Soulsnares touched them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daylight Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an essential spell against Dwarves Vampires, used to dissolve their dark mists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Daylight Spell cast by Lord Virginia was quite creative; it wasn’t attached to projectiles like arrows or stones but was cast upon the Dragon Oak War Banner on Thornspike’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the intrinsic luminosity of Radiance Cloth, it made the banner the most dazzling existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever it passed, the darkness was dispelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But within the darkness, there was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Show yourself,” Lord Virginia commanded sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible shockwave radiated from him, rippling outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender figure suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes, as he was tiptoeing, trying to slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the very target of their raid, the Dwarves Vampire Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a male Dwarves Vampire, although he appeared even thinner than Daphne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that the monstrous legion he had deployed ended up being decimated in their surprise attack, reaching him without holding up even for a round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively casting a high-level Invisibility spell, he tried to slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lord Virginia, experienced in magical combat, dispelled the invisibility and flushed him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dwarves Vampire Mage hesitated for a moment and pulled out a Magic Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could tear it open,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a green ray struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped in the emerald glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth-level spell: Dimensional Anchor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It restricts teleportation-type spells, including Starry Realm Projection, Flash Spell, Anywhere Door, Ethereal Body, Spirit Travel Spell, Otherworldly Gate, Maze Spell, Otherworldly Transport, Shadow Walk Spell, Teleportation Spell, and a variety of spell-like abilities and Spiritual Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is one of the essential skills for Transcendent Archmages to combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dwarves Vampire Mage sighed and tucked the Magic Scroll back into his chest; it was a Teleportation Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not been decisive enough and missed the optimal moment to use the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he resorted to a second choice, casting a second-level spell on himself: Mirror Image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He split into six and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy’s lineup was too luxurious and too bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His most potent and ferocious domination abilities were utterly ineffective against them because the creatures most susceptible to his control were humanoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to dominate the Transcendent Yaling Mage, but the mage was clearly warding off his move, never making eye contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he had seized a glance, whether control could be established was still a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, the Vampires’ domination abilities directly manipulate the victim’s Soul and Will, enforcing obedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people, unless exceptionally gifted, can hardly resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once it comes to the Transcendent level, let alone Mages, even those powerful warriors are not easily dominated.\u003C\u002Fp>",2102,"2026-06-06T12:33:11.058Z",1,"novelbin.me","46fdb40a8492e88675bbd5de05697469a1f7fee930cff10af4b5ae65117fc466","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-340","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-338",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
