Chapter 280: 277. Lucian retreats
A wall of earth seemed to wrap around Dexter, covering him tightly. Then, Hannah levitated off the ground with a flap of her wings.
"Girl, you might be a demon, but you're still no match for me," Lucian said in a neutral tone. With a step, he flashed and appeared in front of Hannah, making her slightly surprised.
She blocked a punch from him, and then he became unstable in the air.
A stream of flames shot out of her mouth, and Lucian was shocked by this. He quickly let out his wings before flying backward.
'Argh… What kind of flames are those now?' he thought as he gritted his teeth with a frown.
Hannah stood her ground as she waited for Lucian to attack again. She grew more and more nervous as she watched him just stare at her.
'I wonder what he did to the boys. Damn it,' Hannah thought as she looked at Collins and Jude, who were still stuck in their positions.
The vampire king finally moved, and she saw three shadows rush towards her. Then, she saw Sarah, the count, and two other vampire knights approaching her.
With a wave of her hand, she formed lances out of condensed wind and launched a large amount towards the underlings coming at her.
Sarah, as a count, got struck by one of the lances in her shoulder, which tore her arm off.
As a witch now, learning all the magic practices from Lisa, Hannah's abilities had improved significantly. She had become a true demon witch.
The vampire king closed his eyes and sucked in a deep breath. He then jumped towards Hannah, reaching her before she could react.
Hannah's eyes widened in shock as a golden shield appeared before her, blocking the punch that was about to hit her.
The shield broke but repelled the vampire king back, and Hannah couldn't help but feel the pressure now.
She raised her hand and formed a transparent red barrier around herself and Dexter, who lay below her.
'I can't fight him. I'm currently still a fifth-class. Perhaps if I…' Her eyes immediately went to the vampire whose arm she had ripped off, now being helped by other vampires. Discover hidden stories at mvl
A bright light shone above them, and the vampires glanced upward to see a huge, bright flame ball about to annihilate them.
They heard the sound of the wind as Lucian raised his hand. The blood spilled from the vampire shot upwards, wrapped in a red aura.
*BOOM!*
It tore through the flames at great speed, dispersing them instantly.
Hannah was shocked by this and glanced at Lucian, who also looked at her with an expressionless face.
"Hm. Let's go. I'm currently injured," Lucian said to Sarah, the red-haired woman, and the last knight, a dark-skinned man with a bald head.
"But Alucard is right there. He's weak," Sarah said, looking over at Dexter, who just lay there.
Lucian held his chest with a smile as he glanced back.
"The witch would be difficult to deal with. Let's leave now," he said, and then the knights and the count left together with Lucian.
Hannah panted as she held the shield up, watching them all leave.
Jude and Collins finally moved from their position and saw that the vampire king was no longer impaled into the walls of the crater.
"W–where did he go?" Collins asked, turning around to see that Hannah, in her demon form, was kneeling in front of Dexter.
Collins looked up to see the clouds above clearing, and he snapped his fingers, causing a big cloud to appear above Hannah and Dexter.
They both were there in an instant, and Jude lifted Dexter off the ground in his arms.
"Let's head back to… Damn, camp is so far away now. I doubt there are any people camps in Nigeria," Jude said and then decided on something.
"I could fly us there with the clouds, but it'll still take more than 5 hours to get there," Collins said, and Jude looked at him.
"Come on, let's get to the ocean first," Collins said, then glanced over at Hannah, who was just staring at the ground.
"Hey, Hannah, are you okay?" Jude asked, and then she looked up at him with a smile.
"I'm fine. Let's go," she said before speeding off in a direction, causing the nearby leaves of trees to rip off.
Collins and Jude flew in the air, heading toward the ocean bay.
It didn't take long for them to get there. Jude stepped into the water.
He summoned his trident, touched it with his head, and then dipped it into the water.
Collins could see the water vibrating visibly, and he was confused. He looked over at Hannah to see her just staring blankly at the ocean.
"Hey, how exactly did you bring Dexter back?" he asked, and she turned her head to him.
"I sealed Alucard away," she simply said, and he frowned.
"You left to get a solution, so I'm guessing you got it from your mum?" Collins asked again, but Hannah didn't respond, frustrating him with her unwillingness to share her thoughts.
While he was still thinking of a way to communicate with her, the waters began to rise as if something was manipulating them.
The next second, a large Kraken emerged from the ocean and loomed over them.
All the water droplets stopped mid-air, and Jude smiled at the creature in front of them, which was a massive octopus.
It opened its mouth and let out a growl, and then Jude hopped up and touched its head gently.
"It's been a while." He said with a low voice and then free fell.
The Kraken caught him mid-air, and then he looked down at the others.
"Guys, come up." He said with a slight smile and then Hannah and Jude flew up.
They were all grabbed by the tentacles and it lifted them off of the ground before plunging deep into the ocean, heading towards their destination.
