Master Of None

Chapter 2035 2035. A Worse Vampiric Monster

'Vampiric harpies

Due to being captured and forcefully changed in to vampiric monsters, these harpies were never awakened as their race became world recognized. They do not even have the intelligence to understand the great loss that they have due to them being changed in to this bat like form. 

Their wings were changes in to similar bat wings due to the vampiric influences. They were most likely changed as an experiment to be added to the vampiric monster forces of the monstrous vampire in control of them. 

While they lost the ability to see easily, they now have sonic attacks using their voices. They also have an innate strength in flying and using talons. Where they lose out is the strength that they would have due to their feathers. Without these, they lose the water resistance and innate wind resistance. But they have other resistances due to their vampiric nature…'

Walker had read this from the all around appraisal. He knew very well that these monsters were dangerous. That they could cause some issue because they could make diving attacks of the surrounding forces. But right now, there were only three coming at the party from a nearby ruined stone house. 

They were targeting Walker because he was the one in the font of the group. Su clouds move because she would be the one normally defending them. But seeing that Walker had a fire ball condensing in his hand, she knew that she would just block his line of sight. 

Things only became more dangerous for the monster hurtling through the air at them with outstretched talons when Walker added light to the flames. They became a blinding white before he threw the fire ball at them. 

When it struck the central vampiric harpy, it only emitted a pained screech for a moment before it was drowned out by the explosion of flames. The white flames burned it and the nearby two vampiric harpies to literal ash in seconds. 

It was a tragic loss in a way. These could have been harpies that had a family line who lived to today, where harpies were their own recognized race. Instead, even though they managed to exist now, when that ahd come true for the harpy race, they were still monsters. Mindless and forced to serve the vampire that turned them in to truly evil monsters that targeted others for blood. 

"Warn the others about that monster." Walker saw that there persisted a group of soldiers behind the party. Waiting to defend them but also waiting to learn more and pass on orders. 

This was not something he had expected or asked for. But apparently, it had come from Alma. She knew very well that the party would take their own path. That alone was enough for her to want some of her better trained soldiers nearby. They could pass on the information going on to the others. Especially when the party had better access to the unique inner workings of any place that they went to. That was just the luck that they had. 

Beyond this, it also sped up any of the changes that happened. Especially when there were monsters that were too strong for the average Genesis forces to deal with. This could appear at any time and the party might have to split up to handle them. 

"Hurry up! I have these ones handles." Remey saw the fire ball but she was focused on the monsters she had fought. The entire force that had appeared from the nearby ruined homes were defeated by her punches. The remaining ones had directed themselves toward the other Genesis forces. 

This was all clearly due to whatever master they served. They had eyes on what was happening to direct their soldiers. It was becoming even less and less believable that the monstrous vampire within the deepest of the ruined castle here would be slumbering still. 

There was also the fear that the demon lord had managed to get within this castle to be able to take wherever they needed for whatever twisted purpose. 

Partially to mock them, or at least that was the feeling, the party found that there were more vampiric monsters all around them. But far enough away that they would not be able to fight the party. It was the perfect show of mockery in this battle. 

But the evidence for the Genesis forces winning as they began to move deeper in to this territory was clear. The weapons made from the light ash wood were doing their job amazingly. Every stab with a spear made from it or an arrow made from it was causing devastating injury or death to them. 

Even the cries from the titan vampire bats were muffled with them being oppressed by the pure physical might of the dominator dragons. However, these things seemed just too small. 

The ruins trembled as more vampiric skeletons tore through the ruined village walls. The place had once been an entire city. That was easy to see. The ruins of the stone homes were easily crumbled now that they were free from the sealed state. 

As the chaos of fighting appeared, the ruins could not handle it. So much was happening that only the castle stood above everything. Seemingly stronger than all other things. The only possible place that had been unkempt by the vampiric monster living within. 

However, the enslaved vampires had begun to throw themselves in harm's way. Placing themselves in danger while the soldiers tried to stop themselves from killing them. They were a race. World recognized and enslaved. The potential for their freedom had become the weapon used against the righteous forces of Genesis. 

The stress now being placed on everyone, including the party, was not good. It slowed the progression and made the gap between the party and the Genesis forces much greater. They not only had a very small force of soldiers behind them. This made them in a much riskier situation than they were just moments ago. 

"I will handle them. I can disable them quickly." Gil knew that he could use the daggers to harm these enslaved vampires just enough to where they could not move. They could also be healed later when they were free. He had the skills to do it. 

"No, I will use the ice dragon domain skill. It will freeze them in place while we move forward." Walker took the burden on. He knew it was better for Gil to hold back. Cutting the enslaved vampires while in such a weak state might kill them slowly. He preferred to cause some frost bite instead. At least that damage could be healed and shouldn't kill them. 

As the mana gathered, Su blocked rocks and other things thrown by the enslaved vampires. When they got near, they were pushed back. Su wondered how they could be so light and still be alive. Let alone withstanding their own small body weights. Their malnourished appearance definitely was not how it should be. Even if they were a being that needed to drink blood to live. They should still be heavier. 

It all pointed to the fact that they had been abused even before they had been forced in to a slumber within this seal. It made Su much angrier than she had been when she learned about their state before. 

"Large monster incoming. Walker, what is that thing?" Gil pulled out an arrow and fired it before even hearing a word. He was purposefully holding off on using the legendary purifying arrow. He wanted to ensure he used it when they needed it most. But right now, he wasn't sure. His regular light arrow didn't seem to make much of a dent. 

'Vampiric oger

A very rare monster that mostly does not exist any longer in the world, this is an oger. Prized for its regenerative and strength abilities, it can not use its mana very much at all. Very rarely, they can develop some magical skills. 

Extremely resistant to attacks both physical and magical, when it was forcefully turned with great effort in to a vampiric monster, it gained the better resistance to darkness attacks. They did gain a major weakness to light attacks and a mild weakness to fire attacks. 

Due to their normally barbaric and dim witted attack methods, they were easy to defeat if one was smart about it. But under the control of a vampire, they are much harder to face since they are less foolish in the way that they move and fight…'

This was the large monster facing them. Its face appeared as if it had been smashed multiple times only to heal uglier. Beyond that, it carried a hefty metal club, seemingly shaped from a fence after it was rolled up. Nothing appeared to be good about this opponent which Remey stood the closest to right this second.
