Chapter 403 - 275: Eric in Danger, [Jade Giant Sword] Takes on Two; Shamiel Takes Action, Hassan’s Contribution
"Sinbadon, stop."
Just as the newly-promoted Vampire Count could no longer hold back and prepared to make a move against Eric, a grim voice stopped him.
Sinbadon looked back. It was the veteran Vampire Count, Modofi.
"Why are you stopping me?"
Sinbadon asked with dissatisfaction, a crimson glint flashing in his eyes.
"This is the perfect opportunity. Letting me go deal with that Ninth Level Elf Clan member would be a good thing, wouldn’t it?"
"Why are you getting in my way?"
A dangerous look entered Sinbadon’s eyes.
"Foolish!"
The veteran Vampire Count Modofi suddenly appeared by his side, his voice low and raspy.
"The enemy has only sent down a single member of their Heroic Clan. They clearly see the battle is not in their favor and want to lure us onto the field prematurely!"
"If we really take the field, wouldn’t we be falling right into their trap?"
"Don’t forget, that mysterious expert on their side who once fought the Progenitor hasn’t even made a move yet!"
Sinbadon was startled, having had no inkling of when Vampire Count Modofi had appeared beside him.
But outwardly, he still listened to Modofi and retreated.
When the veteran Vampire Count Modofi saw Sinbadon stop and return, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Vampire Count Modofi’s scarlet eyes scanned the battlefield for something, and then he calmly analyzed the situation:
"Send the legion’s elites from below to wear him down continuously."
"The full Blood Moon hasn’t ended yet. How many elite soldiers can he possibly handle?"
"Once he’s exhausted, or when more members of their Heroic Clan are forced onto the field, we will make our move and decide the outcome with overwhelming force!"
"Now is not our time to act!"
Although the newly-promoted Vampire Count Sinbadon was somewhat reckless, he was no fool.
After hearing Vampire Count Modofi’s analysis and realizing he had a point, he let out a cold snort, suppressed his battle lust, and went back.
However, his gaze remained firmly locked on the Blood Elf, Eric.
However, if Vampire Count Modofi had known about the Talent possessed by the Blood Elf Eric, he probably wouldn’t have thought that way!
Sending out one of your own high-level combatants to clear out the enemy legion’s elites, and letting the enemy needlessly drain their stamina, was a foolish order that Legion Commander Feiyana would never give.
But with Eric’s Talent factored in, it was a different matter entirely!
The former Blood Elf Leader, Eric, had two Professions: one was Berserker, and the other was Leader.
The Berserker Profession granted the former Blood Elf Leader Eric immense combat prowess!
When combined with his Talents, Injury for Injury and Blood Glory, he would only grow stronger the more he fought. The more grievous his wounds, the greater his strength!
The Injury for Injury Talent is self-explanatory.
What’s truly important is the Blood Glory Talent!
[Blood Glory]: Upon defeating an enemy, absorb a portion of their Life Force to heal your wounds and receive a temporary boost to your Power. The stronger the defeated enemy, the faster your wounds heal and the larger the temporary Power boost. While in combat, this Talent’s effect can stack indefinitely until the battle is over!
This was a Talent born for battle!
Therefore, when Pioneer Corps Commander Eric led the Blood Elf Berserkers and the Dwarf Heavy Armor Corps to clash head-on with the Vampire Corps charging the base of the walls, he didn’t end up like the veteran Vampire Count Modofi had imagined at all.
His stamina was not drained by the endless stream of elite vampires.
Instead, as his injuries mounted, his presence grew stronger like a rolling snowball, and he fought with ever-increasing ferocity!
"Haha, exhilarating! Come on!"
Pioneer Corps Commander Eric, who led the charge and directed the Blood Elf Berserkers in using a Legion Skill, was drenched in blood.
Some of it was his own, but most of it belonged to the vampires!
The wounds covering Pioneer Corps Commander Eric’s body were healing at an incredible speed.
And the power radiating from him surged ever higher!
In his hands, Pioneer Corps Commander Eric naturally wielded the Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact granted by the God of Nature: the [Jade Giant Sword]!
Paired with the [Jade Giant Sword]’s own Life Absorption Skill, wherever Pioneer Corps Commander Eric went, neither Fifth Level Vampire Soldiers nor Seventh Level elite vampires could stop him for even a moment!
Pioneer Corps Commander Eric was like a merciless killing machine, wielding the Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact, the [Jade Giant Sword], and carving a path straight through the attacking eastern Vampire Corps!
"No, we can’t let him go on like this!"
Vampire Count Helen Wei was the first to voice her objection.
If this continued, the Vampire Corps’ morale would suffer a devastating blow.
After all, their legion was about to be broken through by a single man!
This was completely unprecedented!
"That Blood Elf General... his Power is still increasing! He’s using our soldiers to heal himself and grow stronger!"
Vampire Count Elvin saw what was truly happening beneath the surface.
Hearing their words, the veteran Vampire Count Modofi’s expression darkened.
He realized he had made a grave mistake!
’The enemy is too cunning!’
’To think they’d use a trick like this to fool me!’
Vampire Count Modofi seethed internally.
But by now, he wasn’t the only one who saw the problem. The newly-promoted Vampire Count Sinbadon, who had previously volunteered to take matters into his own hands,
