Chapter 298 The Vampire Duke

Basic attack, normal attack! Basic attack, normal attack! Basic attack.

Without any fancy skills, the Bone Bear King slapped the butler repeatedly with a 5A-level combo, leaving him bleeding profusely and nearly knocking off his underwear.

A stat boost of six times and you dare call it a numerical monster?

The Bear King has seen many numerical monsters, but they all call themselves the Bear King Numerical Monsters.

Seeing the butler, who had just been boasting about being a superior being, beaten to a pulp, Sika couldn't help but say, "Master, can you teach me how to revive a skeleton? I want to play with a bear too."

As a support character who relies on stealth, Sika definitely needs summoned creatures for protection.

Chen Feng agreed, but added, "Don't let Master's appearance fool you; playing with a bear actually requires skill."

Sika humbly inquired, "For example?"

Chen Feng patiently explained, "For example, you have to summon the bear while it's alive, and you can't mispronounce the words 'summon skeleton.' As for the 'no-casting spell' that Master just used, you don't need to learn it if you're not a professional player."

Suddenly, Sasaki asked Chen Feng, "Did you go bear hunting today?"

Chen Feng nodded: "What's wrong?"

"I'm considering whether you've violated wildlife protection laws. Don't think that just because you helped me, I'll thank you. If you've committed a crime, I'll still try you!"

"This bear eats people."

"That's alright then."

After the group had reduced the vampire butler to ashes, they stepped out of the tent only to find that the outside world had undergone a complete transformation.

The air was filled with the lingering stench of blood.

Screams, chaos, and people running for their lives everywhere in the streets.

Above, flying in dense swarms were all pale-faced vampires with fangs. Some pounced on people and sucked their blood, some patrolled the air, searching for humans who were hiding, and some simply took pleasure in killing, grabbing people into the air, letting go, and smashing them into a pulp.

"Help! There's a vampire!"

"Guards, where are the guards?"

This shocking scene left everyone completely stunned: "How could this happen?"

That's quite a generous gesture.

Chen Feng's face was very ugly. He thought that by destroying the soul, the other party would not be able to find him.

After all, the magic city of Corelon has more than 300,000 people. Even if we searched them one by one, we wouldn't finish searching even if we searched until next year.

But to my utter surprise, the other party didn't even bother to contact me.

Should we just kill everyone?

Chen Feng knew he couldn't wait any longer. At this rate of killing, it wouldn't be long before the entire city was overrun with vampires.

Even if the Demon King's army officers don't intervene, these hundreds of thousands of vampires could drown them with just a spit from each of them.

Sika asked, "Master, what should we do?"

Chen Feng sighed: "There's only one way left. Have you seen JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?"

Sika didn't understand: "My uncle went to inherit the property, why would I want to see him?"

Sasaki, a middle-aged man who loves anime, corrected him: "JoJo is an anime, not a related series, but do we really have to use that method?"

Chen Feng nodded: "This is the last resort."

With that, the two of them simultaneously took off running, shouting, "Run! Run!"

Sika was stunned, and it took her a second to come to her senses before she quickly pulled Xiaomei along, saying, "Wait for me!"

On the road.

Chen Feng put away the bone bear.

Sasaki asked in surprise, "Wouldn't it be better to let it clear the way?"

Before Chen Feng could explain, his disciple Sika spoke up first: "You can't kill too many vampires. If you were a vampire leader and an area suddenly had a large number of vampires missing, what would you do?"

"Of course they rushed over." Sasaki suddenly realized, "I see."

This apprentice is getting more and more insightful.

Chen Feng was feeling quite pleased with himself when he suddenly saw a warrior wielding a longsword join their ranks: "Hero, may I join you?"

The thing I feared still happened.

Although Chen Feng and his group would not provoke vampires, they would still deal with any vampires that targeted them.

Such formidable combat power would naturally attract passersby to join in.

This leads to a moral dilemma.

If I don't save them, my conscience won't allow it.

They've been saved, but as the team grows larger, the risk of exposure increases, and sooner or later they'll be targeted by the Demon King's army officers.

Chen Feng squinted. He had stayed in Cologne Village for so many days, and his favorability with Sika, Mei, and Grey was definitely high enough. If he encountered a strong enemy, he could simply use time stop to retreat.

But there are two people left.

The cunning businessman Patch is dead, but we've only just met Mr. Sasaki.

Chen Feng tried to switch out of the game world and, as expected, received a system notification: [Sasaki's favorability is insufficient and he is in a dangerous state, unable to leave]

At this moment, Sasaki also asked Chen Feng, "Save as many as you can, and take them with you?"

Chen Feng truthfully told him, "If you bring them along, you might lose your life."

Sasaki replied without hesitation, "I'll save them anyway. I became a lawyer to reach out to anyone who asks for help."

Damn, he's clearly an older man, but he looks pretty handsome!

Chen Feng no longer hesitated and shouted:

"Summon Skeletons!"

With the Bone Bear King clearing the way, the vampires along the way were as lucky as if they had hit the jackpot, and were crushed into speed bumps.

The strength of a bear is beyond question.

Soon, a long queue arrived at the east gate.

Above the city gate, the same enthusiastic gatekeeper from earlier that day was now brandishing his longsword, fighting his way through the enemy ranks: "Gentlemen, you've worked hard! Something's very strange today!"

At this point, do you need to tell me if there's anything unusual?

Seeing so many vampires inside, yet the gatekeepers wouldn't open the city gate, Chen Feng asked, "Is there an ambush outside?"

As the young man smashed the vampire in front of him to pieces, he nodded and said, "Yes, there are vampires everywhere outside the door. We are organizing our troops to fight our way out."

Hordes of soldiers were charging outwards, but the vampires had an attribute bonus at night, and the soldiers' swords couldn't cut through them at all. On the other hand, the vampires could cleave the soldiers and their shields apart with just their claws.

As for archers and mages, with limited visibility at night, they simply cannot hit the vampires who have agility bonuses.

This is what happens when a weak nation is powerless to resist the invasion of a demon king.

The situation was becoming increasingly critical.

The highest-ranking officer stepped forward, rallying the troops: "Don't be afraid! We're not like the neighboring Sword Kingdom. Our lord, Earl Raven, is a level 60 spatial magic archmage. With the Earl here, we'll definitely defeat these monsters! For the Earl!"

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "For the Earl!"

Encouraged by the officers, the soldiers launched another attack, and with the help of the Bear King, they finally managed to tear a hole in the city gate.

And just then...

A man who was about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a red military uniform and a black cloak, fell from the sky.

Upon recognizing the family crest on the man's chest, the officer exclaimed with delight, "It's the Earl! The Earl has come to our rescue!"

However, the next second, his expression froze, because the count in front of him not only had pale skin and no blood, but also eyes that shone with the red light unique to vampires.

Could it be that...?

Even the Earl?

The officer was trembling all over.

The cloaked man opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and said, "Sigh, your loyalty is making me a little embarrassed."

"But for the sake of the Ancestor, you should all die."

The voice just fell.

The officer's head exploded, turning into a cloud of blood and mist.

Instant kill?

Chen Feng immediately cast an appraisal spell:

The Vampire Duke

[Level: ? ? ?]

Holy crap, three digits?

Chen Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly: "The strongest expert in the kingdom is only level 60, and you're giving me a boss with a three-digit level? What do you mean by that?"
