BXBX NOVEL Chapter 310 Night Attack II
Kyla and Velian quickly made their way to the room where Amos and the kids were staying, following the panicked crowd outside the lodge.
It was hectic as people kept running in fear, and nobody even bothered to answer Kyla or Velian\'s question because of how said they were. And soon they arrived at the room, where they heard the noise from which belonged to Amos and two kids.
As they entered the room, Velian\'s eyes widened at the sight before him. There was a massive hole in the wall which looked like some kind of a powerful spell caused it, and Ellena was crying while her brother had blood trickling down his forehead.
"What happened here?" Velian asked, looking around for any signs of danger.
Daphnia entered the room, having quickly put on some clothes, and the girls turned to face her. "Amos is fighting some kind of creature outside," they said in unison.
"What kind of a creature?" Kyla questioned, but two of them couldn\'t answer that. It was too dark for them to see anything clearly so, they only saw a shadow that looked abnormally big than the others.
"We need to help him," Kyla said, determination clear in her voice.
Velian nodded in agreement. "Let\'s go." He turned to the children. "You two stay here and keep each other safe. We\'ll be back soon. Ellena keep this dagger, stab anyone that tries to harm you,"
As they made their way outside, they saw chaos all around them. People were running in every direction, screaming in fear. They could hear the sounds of a fierce battle in the distance.
"Amos must be over there!" Daphnia yelled, pointing towards the source of the noise.
The trio ran towards the sound, dodging debris and panicked people along the way. As they got closer, they could see Amos in the midst of a fierce battle with a monstrous creature. Its huge claws glinted in the moonlight as it swiped at Amos, who dodged and weaved with impressive agility.
Even though others couldn\'t see what was happening, with his enhanced vision, Velian was able to get a clear look at the enemy that kept attacking Amos.
"It\'s one of them, Mother, we were right, it looks identical to what we first fought with," Velian said and explained to them what it looked like.
Its skin was pale as the moonlight that brought some kind of light to the dark road which lacked any kind of illumination. The demonic creature had slender limbs that stretched out unnaturally like a spider crawling for its prey giving it a creepy look.
"Amos, we\'re here to help!" Kyla shouted.
Amos glanced over at them briefly, a look of relief crossing his face. "Good, we could use all the help we can get! This thing is not easy to beat," he yelled back.
"Kuh! So you brought your friends? Well, I guess that means extra food," Velian wasn\'t surprised to hear its voice. But everyone else couldn\'t help but wonder how this monster was able to communicate with them so clearly.
"Kyla, go and help Amos, I will take care of this thing," Velian said and she quickly ran in his direction.
Daphnia had a smile on her face because after a long time, she get to fight beside her son and it really brought happiness to her.
"Mother, keep up with me, let\'s go," Velian said and charge leaving the flabbergasted Daphnia. Because of how fast Velian was it took her a few seconds to understand what was going on.
The duo sprang into action, each of them attacking the creature with all their might.
"I will go on offence, try to distract it, Mother," Velian said.
Daphnia and Velian stood facing the monstrous vampire that had been terrorizing this town for weeks. And it was rather easy for him to guess that is the same monster because, beneath the monster, several dead bodies lay that looked like they were dried without any moisture.
Its cruel face glinted in the dim light of the street lamps giving creeps to Daphnia.
Without a word, the duo sprang into action. Daphnia conjured up a freezing breeze that blew across the creature\'s face, causing it to momentarily stagger. Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Velian lunged forward with his sword, striking the beast\'s chest.
"You pests are everywhere, I will still every single one of you," He shouted in anger, as soon as his sword contacted the monster.
The monster let out an ear-splitting roar, and Daphnia quickly followed up with a barrage of icicle shots. The sharp ice projectiles rained down on the monster, but it seemed unfazed, its thick skin deflecting most of the blows.
Velian gritted his teeth and took a step back, eyeing the violet gem that hung around his neck. He knew that this gem was the key to defeating the monster, but he needed to weaken it first.
As Daphnia continued to pepper the monster with her spells, Velian darted in and out, striking the creature\'s limbs and wings. Every blow weakened the beast a little more, and the monster began to falter.
"Veli, now do it, it won\'t be able to block,"
With a burst of energy, Velian leapt into the air and brought his sword down with all his might, striking the creature\'s head. The monster let out a final scream and crumpled to the ground.
"Kuhh~ what is this? My body is crumbling?" It shouted in anger without knowing what to do.
Daphnia rushed over to Velian, and he handed her the violet gem. She held it up, and a bright light filled the air, enveloping the monster in a brilliant glow of fire.
Their combined efforts were enough to bring the creature down, but not before it had inflicted some serious damage. Amos was bleeding from several wounds, but he managed to stand up and smile at the others.
"Thanks for coming to my aid," he said, panting heavily.
Daphnia looked at him with concern. "Are you okay? We need to get you some medical attention."
Amos quickly stood with his wounds leaking blood, but he used his willpower to overcome the pain.
"I\'m fine, let\'s go back to the lodge," All of them tried to leave without noticing the black colour liquid, that kept following them.
Even Velian had no idea about what was going to happen because of how silent and formless that thing was, but he knew things are getting too serious as this thing kept spreading all around the land.
