Chapter 1019 Decisive Battle (3)
As the Intermediate Archmage vampire howled in pain under the absorption of his vitality, Nina felt even stronger.
The mana she had spent up to that point recovered to normal levels, soon advancing to a higher level within her Beginner Archmage cultivation.
Her companions pressuring that vampire sensed their opponent weakening and quickly stepped up their attacks.
The other vampire, in a critical situation, saw that his group would fall and thought of running away. But still trapped by the result of the weapon Layla had thrown in his direction, he couldn't escape easily.
Before he could free himself from the restraints around his body, one of Nina's shadowy parasites appeared on his back, as the black-haired woman looked in his direction.
Gulp!
This vampire felt a chill run down his spine, before a paralyzing force surged against him, forcing him to stop as he was. Then he felt something bite into his neck, sucking out his vitality in a way that he couldn't help but compare to how vampires did it to their victims.
The big difference between Nina's power and that of vampires was that she could instantly absorb the vitality she absorbed and didn't gain skills from her targets. Her efficiency in absorbing enemy vitality was also not like that of vampires.
The blood of a single magician stronger than a vampire would be enough for such a creature, after their seclusion, to advance in level. But Nina couldn't do that. She only managed to marginally improve her cultivation, even after sucking the vitality of someone superior to her.
Even so, Nina became 20% more powerful in an instant, and her suppressive powers, from her other pentagrams, became stronger, making those creatures susceptible to attacks from her allies in the vicinity.
Lauren saw this from the position she had retreated from and smiled in satisfaction at seeing her little sister resolving the crisis. For an instant she thought of Vicente and whether he could have imagined that, right now, Nina was giving Polaris Realm the victory they had fought so hard to achieve!
"They're getting away!"
But amid Lauren's thoughts, a scream spread through the surroundings, drawing her attention toward hundreds of fleeing enemies.
As soon as the two 6th stage vampires fell into a passive situation, the remaining superior vampires and several 6th stage monsters began trying to escape the area!
"Thinking of escaping?" Lauren opened her book again, not in her best condition, but with enough strength to get on with killing the early 6th stage creatures or the remaining 5th stage superior vampires.
She jotted the magical marks of 30 creatures in her book of death, taking down each of them moments later.
The allies of the magicians' forces took advantage of these falls to go more heavily against the enemies trying to flee, escalating the number of deaths in this chaotic zone.
When Rory and his allies killed one of the two vampires weakened by Nina, they all moved to hunt down the fleeing 5th stage vampires.
They could deal with the monsters or even coexist with these 6th stage monsters. It was not in their coalition's interest to exterminate these creatures. They already knew that the imbalance wasn't good for the continent and intended to follow a different journey than past forces had attempted. But the vampires they absolutely wanted to exterminate!
Rory set the battlefield ablaze with his scorching flames, while Casey used his third eye to destroy the minds of his enemies.
Nova, Layla and Lina got involved in this part of the hunt, leaving the last vampire to die at the hands of the very person responsible for their downfall, Nina Fuller.
Nina ripped out the heart of the last of the Intermediate Archmage vampire, putting an end to the journey of these abominable creatures.
Looking at the blood and heart in her dominant hand, she smiled as she completed the first part of the mission her brother had left for them.
'Here I finish The Purification, Vice!' she thought with a broad smile on her beautiful face. 'Today we'll end the war and tomorrow we'll start rebuilding the continent. We'll make it even more formidable than it was before the calamity!'
Then, looking up at the sky, she muttered, "After that, I'll get ready to come to you on the Supreme Continent!"
In the next 10 minutes of combat, every single one of the 5th stage superior vampires in the area would be killed. At the same time, the 6th stage inferior vampires would be exterminated, leaving only the 5th stage inferior vampires and the 4th stage superior vampires on the run.
Around 10% of the retreating 6th stage monsters would also fall in those last minutes of the fight, while, little by little, the most tired and wounded of the alliance of magicians finally slowed down and stopped on the outskirts.
Stopping to contemplate the outcome of this battle, Sarah sighed as she sat down on a black rock, the only spot in the surroundings where there were no bodies, no remains of bodies and no blood. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Looking at the piles of corpses, she imagined that at least half of those who had fought there today, allies and enemies alike, had died on this battlefield.
'We won... That's good. But the strength we lost today will take decades to recover.' She sighed deeply as she saw the last signs of the battle on the horizon.
In another 20 minutes, the nearby chases would be over and the end of the great battle against the vampires and monsters would finally be decreed!
Alongside their allies and subordinates, be they beasts, special magical beings or magicians, Lauren ended the confrontation and thanked everyone.
"Time to divide up the spoils of war!" she said after her words of celebration and gratitude for those who had helped them reach this moment.
She had mourned the deaths of her allies, but everyone who had come to this place knew the risks and was willing to die to end the vampire threat.
For those who had survived, it was time for them to share the bodies of their enemies and take their chances with these essences!
"Some of us must return to our domains to seize our opportunities and return to our normal lives. But others must continue the hunt," Nina said after the celebratory shouts of the remnants.
"There are still weak vampires hiding around the continent. I want a group of Archmages who will pursue their traces and help bring about the extermination of this race in Polaris Realm!
I will lead this group and after my seclusion, I will join the hunt!"
Everyone agreed and accepted Nina's words, quickly splitting up to do what she wanted.
Thus ended the era of calamity brought on by the vampires and started a new phase of the Polaris Realm's journey!
