Chapter 182: Into the Pit
“Why are you two still dozing off? Quickly get him up.” Ji Bai’s roars roused up the two toadies nearby who were hugging their pillar.
“Oh-Okay!” Like a pair of prisoners being granted amnesty, the toadies hastily nodded before speedily scampering off to where Capeau was buried.
Lin had already responded to the sudden developments by releasing her vampire form. A large crowd of tiny bats fleetingly appeared as she broke away from the ground, causing her silver hair to freely sway in the wind.
“So a vampire? …Griffin, swat this brat down!”
“Roar!!…” The griffin let out a long howl at the sky, creating strong gusts of wind with its powerful wings before it suddenly swung them forwards, sending thousands of its thick feathers flying out like arrows.
[Thousand Feathers Punishment]
Lin’s complexion was neutral as her quiet chanting came to its conclusion. With her in its center, a thick blood fog that severely obscured one’s vision began to spread. Following which, countless small bats flew out and began to dance lightly and gracefully within the rain of feathers in pursuit of the griffin.
Despite the storm of feathers piercing through the blood fog with precision and dispersing it with their strong tailwind, their target had long since disappeared without a trace.
At another location, the swarm of small bats speedily converged and coalesced into Lin. Reappearing above the head of the Griffin with a fang-shaped sword in hand, she resembled a Grim Reaper ready to collect on her debt. Her objective was very straightforward; To defeat the one controlling the monster.
Her fang-shaped blade carried a red sharp luster, as she sent it in a ferocious chop towards the purple-gowned elder sitting on the griffin.
“Clank!!” A clear, crisp sound of metal colliding with glass resounded.
Her blade had bounced off some sort of transparent barrier.
“How naive.” The purple-gowned man narrowed his eyes and coldly harrumphed. “A mere second-tier race1 …”
Lin had already lost the chance to follow up with a subsequent strike in the short lull following her last attack — For the griffin had already raised its massive eagle head.
“Roar!…” Thick and furious flames with a slight golden hue spurted out from its maw.
Even though Lin managed to evade them in the nick of time, she still smelled something burning.
“Ugh…” Her right wingtip was on fire. As the bane of vampires, flames could certainly deal an impressive amount of damage, but only when compared to other attributes. For a strong vampire, an ordinary blaze wasn’t capable of even scratching their back.
Unfortunately for Lin, she quickly realized that this was no ordinary fire.
The raging and slightly-golden flames had no intentions of dying down; Instead, they incessantly dealt damage and gradually formed an infinite loop capable of contesting the formidable regenerative abilities of a vampire.
A vampire whose wings were on fire would naturally have greatly reduced maneuverability and speed in the air. Lin’s opponent would definitely not let such a chance slip.
“Swoosh!” A cloud-piercing arrow
