Four months later...",
Vicente was currently in the ancient territory of the Andoria Kingdom, hunting vampires between the southern and central regions of the continent.
After a long journey, he had arrived at yet another group of vampires to exterminate in the region!
Four months had been enough for him to deal with the vampires and the 6th stage monsters around Tamor Dynasty, leave the south-westernmost state of the continent, and move here after dealing with another six groups of vampires.
All in all, Vicente had killed 98 superior vampires in those months, and had even eliminated 6 Beginner Archmages and 2 Intermediate Archmages in the past 3 weeks.
As for the 5th stage creatures, he had lost count of how many he had killed. But it was a fact that he had left a trail of blood between the Tamor Dynasty and the Andoria Kingdom!
Now, he was about to fight the monsters that had been terrorizing the continent once again!
...
'Seven superior vampires with Sky Sovereign cultivation and two Beginner Archmages... The groups of monsters are getting stronger and stronger. The last team we faced had an Intermediate Archmage.' Vicente commented to Torne as he watched the enemies before attacking it.
'This is strange.' Torne agreed with Vicente's thoughts. 'Archmages are not common in any race. The number of Intermediate Archmages doesn't even make up 5% of the 6th stage magical beings on the continent. Why do these tribes risk their strongest warriors?'
This was the same question Vicente was asking himself.
They didn't know the answer. After all, they weren't interested in going after these 6th stage monsters. If those creatures weren't chasing them, they wouldn't get involved with them.
If it was because they were afraid, then this attitude was somewhat misguided.
'The vampires must be forcing this somehow... In that case, if this damned race has some kind of control to force the strongest monsters to risk themselves like this for them, then we have to be careful.
It's not impossible that we'll encounter even stronger beings as we continue our journey north.' Vicente thought about the problem.
'It's unlikely that we will meet an Advanced Archmage on our way, but what if we do? As strong as you already are, master, facing an Advanced Archmage is beyond your abilities.' Torne expressed this doubt.
'I don't think we'll find anyone like that in the central region of the continent. But if we do, we'll have no choice but to flee.' Vicente sighed at the thought of something so strong.
The difference in level only increased the stronger you got.
He couldn't deal with an Advanced Archmage, although he might have a chance against Intermediate Archmages. At least, that was his situation now, with two slots left for Throne of Darkness pentagrams and Mid-level Paragon cultivation.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be easy to take these steps to strengthen himself!
'Perhaps it would be interesting to gather a powerful group before we face the strongest enemies, master. I agree with you, it will be difficult to encounter Advanced Archmages in the central region. But it's likely that we'll encounter such monsters in the north.'
To face such creatures, as well as 5th stage superior vampires, I believe that having 6th stage human and beast allies will make a big difference to our cause.
Visiting Majestic Treefrog Grove could be an important point in our journey.'
Majestic Treefrog Grove, in the far north of the continent, was an extremely positive area for the beings of the Light Path, the home of the Dragon and Elf tribes, the two strongest tribes on the continent.
The elves were the legendary creators of the magical path, having developed the method of magical awakening used by humans throughout the continent over 100,000 years ago.
As for the dragons, they were among the strongest and longest-lived creatures in the Polaris Realm, and were said to be the elders of the continent, with members over 200,000 years old!
According to the legends that ran through the human community, dragons flew through these lands when magicians didn't exist and humans lived like animals in tribes similar to the monkey races of Polaris Realm.
'Majestic Treefrog Grove, huh? Wouldn't that be dangerous? Lauren said the vampires had made a non-aggression treaty with the leaders of the area, and the outskirts of this territory were fenced off to prevent magical creatures from entering or leaving.' Vicente commented, aware of the benefits of them visiting such a region, but somewhat skeptical.
'It would be worth any danger. Dragons and elves are special. Even if none of them can accompany you directly in the fight against the vampires, a single piece of advice would be enough to change our fate,' Torne warned.
'Alright, we'll visit the Majestic Treefrog Grove in the future.' Vicente decided before turning his attention to the group in front of him.
When he saw the stronger superior vampires in front of him and the two monsters with Beginner Archmage cultivation, he did not falter to attack them.
Knowing the enemies were armed with various artifacts that could even have suppressive effects, like the formation he had faced earlier when fighting the members of the Congregation of Revelation, Vicente was cautious with his attack.
He didn't flinch and used his full power in the initial attack, revealing his eight pentagrams. He used his first magical form to shape metal weapons and cut down his enemies, while using the Throne of Darkness against those creatures of elemental inferiority to him.
Using the Inferno of Flames at the very beginning of his action, Vicente eliminated the weakest who were not prepared for such a sudden attack, while weakening the others who were less vulnerable.
"Vicente Fuller!" One of the two Beginner Archmages identified his opponent.
However, with Darkness Suppression, Magnetic Control, and Inferno of Flames all working against him, this Dark Path beast was not in a good position to rebel against Vicente.
Accustomed to fighting opponents of today's level, Vicente eliminated 70% of the group, easily asserting his magical superiority.
He made sure all the vampires were dead, as they were the ones with the most potential to cause trouble, before finishing his work by eliminating the two 6th stage monsters and the 5th stage monsters.
With the use of the Metallic Symphony, he wouldn't even have to exert himself while his metallic weapons brutalized all the other members of the enemy group!
