The moment the vampire lunged toward Vicente and attacked him, two men dressed in robotic armor used their mana to activate the special powers of these artifacts.
Vicente had planned with them what to do to deal with that vampire, so right at the start of the fight, they acted together, with the two of them joining forces to focus on the vampire.
As Vicente used his skills to try to restrain the vampire and form metallic devices around the creature, the vampire suddenly made an ugly expression as he felt a worrying sensation.
He looked sideways and saw two Mages dressed in strange armor launching pillars of electromagnetic waves in his direction.
These two attacks immediately stopped him momentarily in mid-air, causing him to feel an unparalleled suppression.
He momentarily stood still, shocked at the ability of these magicians to act against him.
'Shit! He's better than I imagined!' He directed his mana towards his innate ability, making his blue-green pentagram appear while the powers of those two armors slowly disappeared from the vampire's surroundings.
But Minos had also attacked him together with his men. When the vampire's pentagram showed itself, and his ability began to work, this creature felt the metals in his body moving under Vice's control enough for him to miss part of his movements.
'Oh? It looks like he's more dangerous than ever!' He realized as he felt several metal weapons flying towards his body.
He then looked to the side and saw several guns being fired at him and his group, simultaneously with Onyx and Rory taking action, with the young redhead preparing to join Vicente.
'It's all or nothing here!
His eyes flashed as a silver silhouette appeared around his body, with large wings and a female body appearing around him to protect him.
At that moment, he moved his lips gently, attacking not Vicente but the men in the surrounding area.
Bang!
Bang!
Several sounds of gunfire were ringing out in the surroundings when the vampire acted, with practically all the non-vampires in his group having already fallen in the vicinity.
The 4th-grade firearms surprised everyone in the vicinity. The shots from these weapons easily killed most of the vampire's allies while seriously injuring the vampires transformed by the main enemy there.
Just 50 seconds into the fight, more than 10 dead bodies lay in front of Vicente's property!
Meanwhile, little by little, the family's allies and partners on the city's outskirts were getting close enough to see the people's movements there.
Casey was one of them, desperately scrambling across the local rooftops to join the fight as soon as possible.
Because of what had happened earlier, he felt responsible for that vampire's arrival in the city. He couldn't help feeling that it was his duty to join the fight and take an active part in killing their enemy.
But as he moved across the local rooftops, he suddenly saw something strange happening in front of the Fuller family estate.
While the fight was going on in that place and Vicente was trying to take action against the vampire, some men armed with 4th-grade weapons turned on each other.
Bang!
Bang!
Casey, Layla, and Jasmine saw at least 6 men from the Fuller family kill each other in the vicinity of that area!
The two women widened their eyes without understanding the situation, while Casey formed a shocked expression as he paled.
But he didn't hesitate to make his three pentagrams show when he got close enough to that place to join the fight.
He took action against the Fuller family's partners, the only method he could use to fight there and stop what the vampire was trying to do.
Benson arrived in the area next to Jasmine and Layla and said. "The damned vampire has taken over the minds of those six men!"
"Damn it, can he make us kill each other?" Jasmine broke out in a cold sweat at the thought.
She looked in the direction where Vicente was attacking with all his powers, where there seemed to be an angel protecting the vampire.
Vicente had already realized the vampire had targeted the men in the vicinity, as he had even momentarily been attacked by his men!
But he was much stronger than the vampire had expected and, with Torne's help, efficiently dealt with the situation while continuing to put pressure on the enemy.
He couldn't protect all his allies from the vampire's mental power, but he did what he could to help Rory by bringing this young man with his flame avatar to his side.
"This is the time!" He shouted to Rory, giving the signal for them to use their powers together.
The vampire found it more challenging to act against the men of the Fuller family, noticing the arrival of Joseph's son.
'Damned Joseph! If you hadn't died, I would have absorbed your powers, and I wouldn't be finding it difficult now!' He glared hatefully at Casey before turning his attention to Vicente, sensing that a new threat to his life was brewing in the vicinity.
As he shielded himself from the many attacks coming at him, not only from Vicente but from at least a dozen individuals in the surrounding area, he felt the atmospheric pressure change, and the mana in the surroundings become denser.
The winds grew stronger and stronger as Vicente transformed the metal objects at his disposal into tiny blades embedded with mana as small as needles.
The vampire's skin solidified like a diamond. At the same time, a shield appeared around him, and the gravity in his surroundings changed simultaneously as his innate ability tried to degrade everything that came near him.
He defended himself entirely in that passive situation, being immobile at that moment while four men dressed in robotic armor, Vicente, Rory, and a few other newcomers, acted against him almost simultaneously.
Amid this, the Duke of the Province arrived in that area of his city, seeing a high-level battle developing where something like this should never have happened.
The nearby buildings were already suffering from the movements of everyone involved in this fight, with several roofs having already been destroyed and walls falling down.
However, he fully understood the situation, and as soon as he saw several vampires under attack, pressured enough to have nowhere to run, he gave orders to his people.
"Protect the citizens and remove the inhabitants up to five kilometers from where we are!" He said this to his men while making his pentagrams appear.
As his people moved, he couldn't help but glance toward the most powerful vampire in the area, sensing that the threat from The Purification was more real than he thought.
'Damn it, we've got to move forward with everything at our disposal, or we're all going to die soon!' He thought to himself as he saw this calamity.
