Vicente skillfully deployed his mental powers against the strongest vampire in the area, easing Casey's access to the vampire's memories.",
As this superior vampire was about to strike at Lina, who moved to intercept, he found himself temporarily paralyzed under the combined mental onslaught from both Vicente and Casey.
Casey penetrated his opponent's mind, realizing Vicente was attacking the vampire to clear a path for him. 'Let's see what you know before I erase your primal instincts,' Casey thought to himself, his third eye glowing as the four pentagrams activated.
The group lost the advantage of Lina's prophetic abilities, but it no longer mattered. While Vicente kept the vampire's motionless, he shifted his focus to another severely wounded foe.
Weakened from the exertion of reaching this point and using both his and Torne's strength, Vicente approached the vampire caught in the storm, finding him lying on the ground in agony.
A sword materialized in Vicente's right hand, and with a swift motion, he decapitated the vampire.
With the vampire's body now motionless, Vicente turned to the severed head, using his mana and Torne's combined forces to obliterate the vampire's soul.
Seeing this, Rory had already moved towards his opponent under the combined mental attack of Casey and Vicente, knowing that Onyx could fight his own opponent alone for a few moments.
It was the Earth Sovereigns in his group who couldn't risk being near the vampire under mental attack!

Rory made the creature's body burn, with explosions appearing under the creature's skin, while Lina was the one to lead the attacks, as she could predict the enemy's behavior and dodge more easily.
Layla and Sarah lined up to support Lina as she tried to attack the creature from a safe distance.
Even under Vicente's and Casey's mental attacks, the vampire would still show some resistance and danger to the four magicians trying to harm him. Fortunately, the greatest danger had passed and his moves now had a higher success rate, as long as they didn't make any mistakes.
While the group entertained the stronger vampire and Vicente finished killing the second monster, Onyx fought in grand style, wounding and being wounded by his opponent.
Their fight had been fast-paced and competitive, with both sides showing more or less the same fighting capabilities.
This only underscored the incredible power of superior vampires, who could fight even against beings who were their natural oppressors, several levels stronger than them!
In a short 55-second fight, Onyx received dozens of wounds, and felt pain all over his crow body, as well as in his claws and beak. No matter how much he hurt his enemy with these 'weapons', the vampire's body was so tough that he couldn't help but feel pain in those body parts.
The same was true for Layla, Lina, and Vicente, who had used their arms and hands to attack their enemies' body parts.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Vicente saw the situation of the two remaining vampires in the fight, as well as his people fighting in the area.
Holding the head of the second vampire that had moved against him, he turned his attention to Casey. 'He still has the strength to continue. I'll take care of Onyx's opponent first. He's more vulnerable to me.'
Vicente moved and appeared on the back of the vampire fighting Onyx with high intensity.
Onyx was Vicente's mount in the area, so he could sense his master's intentions. The moment the young Fuller moved, Onyx sensed what he had to do and acted in sync with his master.
The vampire was no match for this formidable combination. Both opponents could seriously injure and kill him. By acting in sync against him, the pale creature was doomed.
He still tried to bite Vicente, who he thought was the weakest link attacking him. Unfortunately, Vice already had such powerful senses—with Torne's help—that he had the least chance of being surprised on this whole battlefield.
The creature only made himself more vulnerable by attempting to act against Vicente, only to have his heart pierced by Onyx's sharp beak while Vice moved to destroy his soul through the wound the black bird caused.
"Wretch..." That was all the vampire could say before he fell into the darkness of death, plummeting from the sky already dead.
Vicente acted in time to help the rest of his staff and soon used what little mana he had left to put pressure on the last vampire in the area with the help of his mount.

He instinctively moved to attack Lina, but just as he was about to wound the brown-haired woman, the pressure of Vicente and Onyx's cultivation pushed him to the ground and prevented him from succeeding.
Seeing the opportunity before her, Lina struck the final blow of the battle, using everything she had left to exterminate the vampire's soul.
She didn't do it alone; Vicente and Onyx helped her. Still, it was by her hands that the last enemy in the area died!
After making sure the vampires were dead and there were no other enemies around, the entire group relaxed, feeling extremely tired after such a tough fight.
Even though he was mentally and physically exhausted, Casey looked at his companions and said in a worried tone. "I saw the vampire's plans when I read his memory." He pointed to the body of the last opponent while Vicente gathered the bodies in the area.
Casey said the most important thing first. "The vampires do not intend to wipe out all the magicians at once. They killed the strongest pillars of the magicians' community first, but they won't go after those with the potential to become Paragons, or even the few Paragons left on the continent.
Their plan is to keep these people believing in the hope they will grow stronger and eventually become good "nutrients" for the vampires.
In short, their intention is to treat us like livestock, using us to nourish and empower themselves!"
