Chapter 239: A new plan (1)
After running for over an hour and using the dimensional move many times, Matt fell to the ground in a forest a bit far from the City.
Somehow, he had managed to survive a blow from that woman, and after doing so, he also realized what a terrifying existence she was.
Numerous bones in his body were broken, and Alice, who somehow took much of the impact on the wall, had fallen unconscious. The least affected was Caroline, but she was still bleeding. He continued to bleed from the mouth, and his arms ached.
Though it didn't compare to the pain in his head.
Still, he gritted his teeth hard to resist the pain and not fall unconscious.
'Shit, that woman... How scary, isn't she young? She looks about 40 years old; how the hell can she be as powerful as those guys from Clan City?' He was in shock.
No matter what, he knows that his breakthrough in power has been incredible these past few months. Being able to surpass 10,000 in such a short time has shown him that his breakthrough is amazing. But, he is meeting more and more people who are not much older than him but still have a strength far beyond his own.
Sophia Murphy, for example. She is not too old, but her power level is over 30,000, and she already got her second ability as a Heiress with Destiny. Although it is unknown exactly what level of power she has, she possibly started training at 10 or 12, which is when everyone starts.
Getting over 30,000 is a challenge in so few years, but she could do it.
Behind her was the princess of the dark kingdom, Emma Lewis. She should be between 35 and 40 years old, but her power is perhaps very close to Sophia's.
But now, a woman the same age as Emma, who has power on the level of the powers of the City of Clans? What the hell did that mean?
'Is it because she's human? I can only think that humans have more explosive potential but live less...' Despite his thoughts and possibly finding a possibility, it was still terrifying.
That woman was more powerful than he thought and if it wasn't for his skill, 'The Vampire', strengthening his body, it's possible he would have fallen unconscious with that blow she gave him.
That made him tremble slightly, but suddenly, immense, powerful auras rose in the distance and made him turn his head sharply.
'Four... They are close to that woman...' In the distance, he could see five silhouettes flying over the city sky. One of them was the silhouette of a woman; the rest were men.
'The men are stronger than her... I seem to have underestimated the empire a bit. After all, it is the home of an entire race; if they didn't have such powerful people, how could they still exist in a mortal world like this?' Matt made sure to hide his aura and that of the girls beside him perfectly, and after that, he hid among the branches of the nearby trees so as not to be discovered.
When he did that, Alice's eyelids twitched slightly, so he stared at her and gave her a silent nod when he saw her eyes open.
Although she was disoriented, after seeing that Matt was okay and feeling her heart calm down, she remained silent, looking where Matt was looking.
"They are very powerful. In the face of such people standing guard, we cannot return to the Imperial City." He spoke. Alice agreed with him.
'As I thought, the interference of a person like her was bound to change my plans. Decisive people with heads are always the most troublesome.' Matt thought and looked at Caroline, who was still on the ground, unconscious. The transformation to vampire had visibly progressed, but she still wouldn't wake up.
'But if I have you, I think the plan will be carried out correctly.' He thought and smiled, formulating a new plan as he waited for those guys to return to the City again.
So he had to wait 3 hours until everything seemed to return to normal.
During that time, he looked through the eyes of the women he could control to make sure everything was okay.
'Tsk, the hard work of over 1 month has been greatly reduced. So many died, and some of the stronger ones too...' After looking through the eyes of all the women left alive, Matt realized that Vanessa Cromwell had been researching this very well.
Many of the women he had turned into vampires had somehow been marked and killed. That had caused the vampires to dwindle quite a bit; until now, there were only 40 women left.
That wasn't bad, but he felt it wasn't enough.
Still, he could only sigh.
'Most of them were destined to die for me anyway, so I don't care.'
And so, three more hours passed until Matt had the whole plan in his head.
First, he explained it to Alice so that she would be aware of what he had decided and hear if she had any suggestions. She had no suggestions, so Matt controlled Abyl to get to where Ava was.
Ava looked up doubtfully as she sat in a somewhat dark office. "Abyl, what's wrong?" she asked when she saw Abyl walk in unannounced.
"It's me, Matthew."
Ava then stood up abruptly. "My Lord." She greeted him quickly.
"It's nothing. Call all the ones with you. I have to explain the whole plan to them, as they will be doing things without me from now on."
"I could tell that many of ours were attacked from all sides, and the decoys served well, but that woman, Vanessa, seemed to be angry. Were you able to complete what you wanted? Where are you right now?"
"I am out of the City. I completed what I wanted to and my research is progressing well, but a big problem occurred. We will no longer be able to return to the City for now, so we will travel elsewhere to expand our organization. You'll know the rest when they all come." After this response, Ava quickly called everyone with her.
Matt did the same, calling the rest of the away women. An hour later, he began to tell them about the plan.
