Chapter 92: Vampire Removal

"Damn it!" the Red Robe Mage saw this scene and his face turned green; the shadow steel golem was Sai Er's public property, and he could already imagine a future where he goes bankrupt compensating for the golem's loss.

Having lost his composure, the Red Robe Mage could no longer be restrained; he shouted at the vampire beside him, "Black Duke Du Ke! Hurry and deal with that dragon!"

The vampire general's face turned cold, and he stared expressionlessly at the Red Robe Mage, a thick murderous intent instantly enveloping his whole body.

"Shi Nai De, you don't really think you can command me, do you?"

The Red Robe Mage's hair stood on end; he cleared his throat lightly and said, "Please."

The vampire let out a light hum, spared him, then drew the massive black sword from his back, looked excitedly at the dragon in the sky, and licked his tongue.

A black silhouette flashed across the battlefield in an instant; the vampire, whose back bore membranous double wings, even generated a sonic boom! The heavy greatsword pointed straight at Juan Ce Long's wings; he intended to sever those wings and then gulp the dragon's blood!

Naimi Xisi had long noticed that vampire; with a thought of his Psychic Ability, he teleported it several hundred meters away. Being able to freely use the Five Ring Psychic Teleportation ability, he could instantly teleport up to a kilometer, with no casting time, requiring only the activation of mana to warp reality.

So what if it's faster? Can it outrun teleportation?

He raised his hand, pointed, and missed the vampire; the Moon Cloak flared white again.

Five Ring Divine Spell—【Moon Web】! Moonlight solidified into spider silk weaved around the vampire, covering him; the sacred energy attached to the Moon Web continued to sear the vampire's skin, emitting a "zzzz" sound.

But Black Duke Du Ke showed no reaction; instead he licked his lips, smiled at the dragon in the sky, and said, "Spicy, feels great—this must be the power of that hypocritical bitch, right?"

Ignoring his boastful words, Naimi Xisi chuckled lightly and said, "If you have the guts, shout out her name!"

The vampire laughed heartily, "I'm not that stupid, but once I make you my blood slave, I'll consider, under the protection of the Night Goddess, letting that bitch see my masterpiece."

The vampire clad in black armor suddenly erupted with boundless black light; the powerful evil aura instantly corroded the Moon Web's restraint, and he again became a fleeting afterimage, charging toward the dragon.

Meanwhile, the Red Robe Mage in the distance began chanting a spell.

【7】 A cold glint flashed in Naimi Xisi's eyes; his figure vanished again in an instant, but this time he teleported three times in succession, appearing behind the Red Robe Mage!

A flash of cold light flashed in Naimi Xisi's eyes, his figure vanished again in an instant, but this time he teleported three times in a row, appearing behind the red‑robed Mage!

A breath gathering thunder brewed in his mouth and was instantly hurled at the Red Robe Mage, but the chanting mage ignored it and continued casting.

Unsurprisingly, the lightning sphere was blocked by the protective spell surrounding the mage; Naimi Xisi recognized it as a rune of High-level Protective Energy Damage.

The distant vampire also sensed Naimi Xisi's intent and was rushing over at speed; at the same time, the Red Robe Mage's spell had already completed.

Seven Ring Evocation Spell—【Biggbi Capture Palm】! Countless flesh-like red eerie energy coalesced into a massive ten‑meter‑wide palm, swinging toward Naimi Xisi with overwhelming force.

The dragon's silhouette flickered and vanished on the spot; the missed giant palm slammed onto the ground with a "Boom" and carved a huge crater.

The Red Robe Mage maintained the casting gesture, keeping the giant palm circling around him for protection; this powerful spell allowed the mage to keep the palm manifested as long as he remained focused on casting—any other action would cause the spell to fail.

"Hmph, you think having a turtle shell makes you safe?"

Naimi Xisi sneered; the Red Robe Mage's actions placed him in a safe position but also cut off any chance of casting other spells that could disturb him. At the speed of the Biggbi Capture Palm, it could not possibly threaten him.

He could easily finish off that vampire first, then turn back to deal with him.

"Luo Jia!"

Facing the charging vampire, Naimi Xisi let out a long dragon howl, calling for another meat‑shield's aid; a black silhouette flickered on the city wall and slammed into the vampire.

A flash of impatience crossed Black Duke Du Ke's eyes; his wrist twitched, and he deftly swung the heavy black greatsword, cutting toward the blocking Luo Jia with unstoppable force.

Luo Jia's complexion changed drastically; the Physical Quality of a level‑14 vampire was not something he could simply endure. Black light flared on his left hand, countless iron shards coalesced into a massive iron shield, blocking the greatsword's strike. When the sword hit the shield, the tremendous force hurled Luo Jia backward; the sturdy black magical greatsword shattered the shield, but it spared Luo Jia from being cleaved at the waist.

But that delay allowed Naimi Xisi's incantation to sound.

"You unclean, filthy thing, you blood‑thirsty fool, I curse you: the cozy night you cherish will abandon you, and the power of blood will turn into deadly poison for you! Unless you drink the holy water from the Dawn Temple to purify your bloodline, you will forever lose your strength in the darkness!"

The vampire laughed, "You dare cast a curse, the very synonym of a curse, at a vampire? How foolish!"

But the next moment, the power of Darkest Moment manifested, with Spell Cultivation amplified and High-level Curse Reduction added; that terrifying curse power could even affect a Legendary, let alone a vampire.

Black Duke Du Ke's complexion changed; he felt the curse taking effect. Normally his combat power would double in the night, but now he felt waves of weakness, the viscous black blood in his body turning scorching. He coughed violently, spitting out large gulps of black fresh blood.

"How... how could this be!" Black Duke's face was full of disbelief.

Naimi Xisi chuckled lightly; the power of the Artifact was no idle boast! Back then a level‑12 beastman couldn't withstand it, and a level‑14 vampire wouldn't fare much better.

Seeing this, the Red Robe Mage's heart raced; he hurriedly commanded the Biggbi Capture Palm to support Black Duke, but the moment the palm left, Naimi Xisi teleported beside him and began casting attack spells.

Helpless, the Red Robe Mage had to summon the Capture Palm back before the protective spell shattered; Naimi Xisi, seeing his chance, quickly slipped away before the palm could strike him.

The Red Robe Mage was so enraged by Juan Ce Long's actions he seemed ready to vomit blood; he is also a mage with a secondary specialization in Spellcraft, but teleportation requires chanting! Unless it's instant, it cannot be as wildly teleporting as that dragon.

This is the greatness of Psychic Teleportation abilities: they possess no offensive means, no defensive capabilities, nor any crowd‑control, yet their mobility ranks first among all professions.

Now the weakened vampire tangled with Luo Jia again, but he could no longer, as before, fling the annoying human with a single sword; instead his strength was now on par with his opponent, and even gradually waning.

According to the curse, he will remain weakened in the night, only ceasing at daybreak, yet vampires are at their weakest during the day!

Moreover, Naimi Xisi also bestowed various augmenting spells on Luo Jia, applying everything from 【Power of the Ox】 to Cat's Grace, making Luo Jia even stronger.

Black Duke Du Ke was now on the verge of collapse; the dragon's curse was a mental torment, forcing him to forever chase the very daylight he despises, with the condition being to drink the holy water of the Dawn Temple? Not to mention whether his current state could even enter the church of a deity that detests dark beings; merely drinking the holy water seemed as disgusting to him as eating feces.

Seeing Black Duke Du Ke gradually falter, the Red Robe Mage could no longer wait and ordered the golems to attack to the death; the remaining four golems emitted the sound of mechanical gears turning and drifted toward Naimi Xisi's party.

"Tsk." Naimi Xisi looked at the approaching golems, somewhat annoyed; he had originally planned to wait until the Se Si Ke army was annihilated, then collect these golems, perhaps to decipher the Red Robe Mages' command codes.

But now, seeing those golems charging at Luo Jia, Naimi Xisi had to reactivate the Moon Cloak's 【Holy Light】; the golems' strength could not be ignored—their sharp mechanical claws could easily shred Luo Jia, and the negative energy pulse would make the wounded, weakened Black Duke grow strong again.

A massive hexagram formation rose again; the Red Robe Mage, spitting blood, realized that the dragon could still wield this powerful spell! Boundless golden light surged anew, but unlike before, the surrounding Se Si Ke soldiers were unaffected, becoming vigorous, while only the golems twitched wildly in the golden light. Billowing black smoke rose, countless fissures resembling those of their predecessors appeared on their surfaces, and the remaining four golems—defeated!

Worse off than the golems was Black Duke Du Ke; the moment the golden light bathed the vampire, he let out a mournful wail, quickly released black light, attempting to counter the Holy Light's power with evil aura.

Already weakened, he grew even more frail by expending massive power to unleash the evil aura; after all, he was not a Soul‑Judging Demon like the Abyssal Demon, which possesses limitless abyssal power behind it.

Luo Jia moved nimbly in the air, various sharp iron implements sprouting from every part of his body, trading blows with the vampire; beside them, Naimi Xisi, while maintaining the Holy Light, continuously launched attacks at the vampire.

One ray after another shot from Naimi Xisi's hand toward the vampire; this was the Third Circle Necromancy Spell 【High-level Necrotic Strike】. Each ray that struck Black Duke caused excruciating pain, black blood spilling onto the ground; he was already on the brink of death.

The Red Robe Mage watched helplessly as the two pummelled the vampire with righteous force; he dared not remove the Biggbi Capture Palm's protection!

Helpless, he could only decide to retreat; as for De Gen City, the demons beneath De Gen City, and Sa Zha Si·Tan's request—forget it! My survival is the most important!

Determined, the Red Robe Mage cancelled the Biggbi Capture Palm's protection and decided to teleport away, but Naimi Xisi, who had been watching him, would not let him leave so easily.

Four Ring Abjuration Spell—【Dimensional Anchor】! Runes rose around the Red Robe Mage, prohibiting teleportation in the surrounding space. Though Naimi Xisi could no longer teleport to the mage to attack, the vampire was now at a dead end; once the Red Robe Mage's retreat was cut off, his death was only a matter of time.
