Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Thankfully, the strange material of the buildings was very durable. If it had been normal wood, then the whole city would probably already be turned to ashes.

BAM!

The attack met, creating a vibration large enough that it shook the ground.

From the clash of attacks, it was clear the creatures were stronger. Alex was being pushed back, even though it was just a bit.

But he didn't stop. He started unleashing the technique he had just learned.

The hammer hits started turning like a whirlwind. At first, it was slow, but as it kept going, it turned faster and faster.

Meanwhile, some distance away, inside a castle that put Elvira's mansion to shame, a woman sitting on the throne opened her eyes.

Her crimson eyes glinted with annoyance as she mumbled, "Master, just what are you thinking, choosing a human as your heir. Now, what should I do?"

"Kekeke, I told you, just drink it; that way, you will become the progenitor's heir!

How could we let the progenitor's power fall to a puny human's hand?" A voice reverberated in the air, making Thalia turn her gaze.

Beside her is a similar goblet that MingYue has seen before. Black smoke was coming out from it, creating a silhouette of bats.

"Shut up, Vesa! You are so annoying."

"Kekeke."

"You think you are any different? It seems you have been separated so long that you have started becoming your own individual," Thalia said with a sigh.

Her hand then made a gesture, activating a rune on the table. As it glowed, the goblet disappeared as if it had never been there.

'This is bad… nothing is going smoothly. Master, if only you were still here.'

Thalia's gaze turned complicated, showing a moment of weakness. But it quickly disappeared, replaced with a focused gaze. Her eyes looked in the direction of Alex and MingYue.

"Now, I should check what the chosen heir can do."

Back in the city. Alex was still pummeling Luciel, MingYue decided to attack the hair that was attacking and eating the elf.

Her body moved like a dance, creating many frozen lotuses in the air. She then shot them forward.

The hair now looked more like tentacles with mouths on the ends. It moved around the city, eating every elf, not caring about their gender or age.

Some of them tried to fight back, but none were a match for Luciel. The attacks just dispersed the moment they hit.

As for those who were not sorcerers, they could only attack with swords and fists, basically doing nothing.

The only ones who could fight back were Petricia, Zorgath, and Vexgore.

Petricia was evacuating the people while Zorgath carried Elvira on his back.

She was too shocked by everything that happened to move. Her mother had turned into a monster, killing Alfred, who was a father figure to her.

The city she grew up in had turned into a mess, and who knew what the fate of her father and brother was now.

Vexgore, meanwhile, was now in a predicament. He was outmatched. Compared to Petricia, he was far less agile.

The hair pierced through, making many holes in his body. Blood seeped out, but he forcefully stopped it with his qi.

At the same time, he was now holding his axe with all his strength, facing again the mouth that wanted to eat him.

'I cannot hold on longer; my qi is almost depleted,' Vexgore panickedly thought.

After some thought, his eyes turned determined. He decided to gamble. He moved his qi to his legs.

His goal was to leap backward and then run as he threw the hammer into the creature's mouth.

The risk was that despite what he did, he might still fail to escape.

Vexgore took a deep breath, then in a burst of strength, he stomped hard on the ground, jumping backward.

BAM!

The ground cracked into a spiderweb as his body moved back. At first, this succeeded in creating a gap between him and the creature.

But unfortunately, his bet failed. Even with the burst of speed and using the momentum of the creature's pushing strength, Vexgore was still slower.

The creature opened its mouth and thrust forward.

Swosh!

Vexgore tried to spin his body, trying to build momentum to slash at the creature.

But his qi was already depleted, and his body was exhausted. Halfway through the spin, his body fell lifeless to the ground.

CHOMP!

The mouth bit a chunk of his arm to his shoulder, making Vexgore scream in pain. Knowing his fate was sealed, he sent a message to Alex, 'I am sorry, King. I cannot fulfill your order.'

His words broke Alex from his state of rage. He could feel Vexgore's undying loyalty and regret for not being able to complete his mission.

Alex gritted his teeth. He hit the creature one more time, then took some distance away.

His eyes then started looking around to assess the situation, trying his best to stay calm and push his emotions away.

'Alex, have you finally come to your senses? Take out your army already! And don't worry, I know you can sense it, but I will still tell you.

I already saved Vexgore; his condition is critical, but I have already frozen him, so he will last for a while.'

'Thank you, MingYue, and sorry.'

'Just focus on the fight; we will talk later.'

Alex took a deep breath. Before coming here, he had already bolstered his army. He now had three trained squads, with all of them at least mastering the foundation realm.

Each squad were expanded, now consisted of 2 wolf riders, 8 goblin archers, and 16 goblin warriors.

But with only Petricia able to move effectively now, taking out all squads would just provide high-quality food to whatever was possessing Luciel.

Alex then focused his qi on his hand. He moved the hammer back, then in one swift motion, he threw it toward Luciel.

SWOOSSSH!!!

With its size, speed, and heat, it became like a meteor crashing down on the creature.

BANG!

The creature parried the attack once more while the hammer kept pushing down on her.
