Chapter 206: A big surprise attack
"Be careful, that woman is a vampire too!" shouted one of the leaders, but suddenly his sight darkened, and a terrifying coldness crossed his neck, being the last thing he could feel and see in this world.
Since Matt had decided to murder all of these, he would leave none behind. Though they tried to fight, and magic flew back and forth, exploding all over the room, none could touch Matt or Alice, as they moved too fast and suppressed them with their powers.
Soon, only one remained, kneeling.
He was the leader giving the orders.
"You... Bastards..." He said, struggling to breathe after being stabbed in the back by Alice.
"Heh, from the start, you were all destined to die. Did you really think you had a chance?" replied Matt, blowing his head off in one motion, not wanting to talk to these guys anymore.
He put the sword away before it could absorb the blood of his victims.
"Let's grab everything and head back." Matt said, and Alice nodded to him.
"Okay."
Then, they collected everything in the room: corpses, treasures, and the hexagonal items. In total, they now had four hexagonal items.
But suddenly, they felt a tremor, and Matt raised his head sharply.
"Alice, run! It's too strong!" shouted Matt. Alice could feel it, too, so she reached Matt's side instantly, but suddenly, they felt danger hitting them.
'Shit, we don't have time!' Matt thought and remembered the large number of activated mines the mage had put on the ground earlier, so he immediately created an explosive inscription and threw it on the ground.
Then, an immense amount of explosions occurred on the ground, as a powerful magic that gave off terrifying heat slammed into the huge house.
'Too big...' Matt thought, stunned when he saw it.
It was a huge fireball resembling a sun. This one consumed the ceiling in a moment and met the dozens of explosions from the activatable mines, which caused an even more terrifying explosion to occur, blowing everything up there in a few seconds.
Even those who had thrown it were stunned by that huge explosion.
"What the hell was that?" the Guild Leader asked in shock.
Below him, the terrifying explosion had obliterated practically almost the entire village, which was astonishing and almost senseless to witness.
It was such a terrifying explosion that it left a huge hole there.
"Was my magic that powerful? No, no way." He was confused by this. Although he knew that with his fire magic, he could practically erase this entire village, he didn't attack to do so because he wanted to concentrate his power on a single place.
Even the Divine Knight next to him was stunned. He hadn't expected the man next to him to be so powerful.
Still, this was no time to worry about that.
He looked at him.
"Guild Leader, did you kill all the hunters in there?" He asked, causing the Leader to shrug.
"When you go to attack a target, don't you do it this way? It was a target that could have been a vampire that could disguise itself. Naturally, I'm not going to leave anyone alive. It's too bad for those hunters." He replied, smiling slightly.
Looking beneath him, he knew there was no more to be done here.
"Time to go kill the next target, Sir Knight." Turning around, the Leader walked out of there.
The Divine Knight looked at the scene and frowned.
'I thought the Guild cared more about their Hunters. I seem to have gotten an impression.' He thought though he smiled mockingly to himself.
'Well, better an entire city die than let such important vampires escape.' He followed the Guild Leader after that.
That day, a large number of people died, as they were believed to be that pair of vampires who had infiltrated the empire.
...
Far away, in a cave in a distant mountain, Alice stared at Matt. She was in shock and did not know what to do.
He was enduring a terrifying pain that made him scream and writhe after using a strange ability that she failed to understand.
'What's going on? Why is he in so much pain?' she thought in shock.
Still, she could only see Matt there, lying there, enduring the pain as he thumped his chest, trying to appease that terrifying pain in his head.
In this place, being chased by such powerful people, he wasn't going to disconnect from his senses for a moment.
Just before that terrifying explosion occurred, he froze time before launching his dimensional move dozens of times or could be hundreds of times to escape.
Although he had no problem using Dimensional Movement a few times, when he did it so close together and in so few seconds, mixed with his ability to freeze time, the pain this made him feel was terrifying.
And in tremendous pain, the hours passed until the first day passed.
Alice found a way to cover the cave with a large rock at the entrance that could be camouflaged by the nearby undergrowth quite well, but throughout that day, Matt did not wake up.
So, the second day came.
Matt could finally feel his body again, and the pain was mostly gone.
Still, he remained pensive before getting up.
'...I've gotten so much stronger, but I still can't do this. If I keep going like this, my brain could burn out at the drop of a hat. I must be more careful with my decisions.''
However, at least he could confirm that his Frozen Power was getting stronger with him, as he was now able to freeze time a little longer before the powerful magic destroyed his ability, and this time, the man he was facing was stronger than Philip, so that was good news for him.
After thinking several more things, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened them, the beautiful, unkempt figure of Alice came into his eyes. She was leaning against the cave wall, sleeping. But her complexion didn't look too good.
'She hasn't slept much, eh.' He thought and went over to cover her with a blanket so she could sleep better.
After doing that, he leaned against the wall before her to consider his next moves.
