The battle started, and creatures screamed in pain. Blood splattered as Qiang attacked his first target, getting it on his claws. Meanwhile, Bonfi's flames burned a monster with Beginner Archmage cultivation.

After initially taking the lead in the fight, the two beasts ruthlessly attacked the two opponents who were closest to them. Then, as the two individuals plummeted from their respective positions, Ayden seized the moment and perceived a chance to administer a decisive strike against one of them.

Paul followed Ayden's lead and took aim at the burning monster, who was now screaming in agony as it struggled and flew toward the river below.

"Die!" Paul attacked with all his might, aiming for his opponent's vulnerable neck.

"Tsk! Not so fast, human!" Said one of the Low-level Paragon vampires as he appeared in front of Paul.

The moment this vampire moved, the surrounding armor did the same, pressing against the two wounded enemies.

Even as he appeared in front of Paul, this vampire felt his body much slower than it should have been, constrained by four robotic armors attacking the burning monsters.

A similar situation developed for Ayden as he attacked the creature with part of its body cut off by Qiang's long, sharp claws.

Dark Griffin, an Intermediate Archmage, narrowed his eyes and moved towards the robot armors in the area. 'As weak as they are, they can still hurt us when combined with the powers of these enemies!' Dark Griffin thought as he saw he had to deal with these armors or his group could suffer far greater losses than they expected.

As he moved to sacrifice the first armors in his sights, Qiang appeared in front of him after using the ground to change the trajectory of his flight, coming at Dark Griffin with his mouth agape as he screamed.

The sound of an eagle's cry rang out, causing Dark Griffin and several others to block their hearing to protect their mental integrity.

Lonan used the shadows in the area to move and catch up with the Mid-level Paragon vampire.

Suddenly, appearing behind him, the werewolf slashed at the vampire's neck, targeting his opponent's life in his first attack of the battle.

"Audacity!" The vampire looked back and raised his defenses, outraged to be attacked by a mere 6th stage werewolf.

As soon as he moved to defend himself, the werewolf tried to flee, seeing his surprise attack had failed. But when he felt something grab one of his heels, he couldn't get away in time.

With a slap on the opposite side of his hand, the Mid-level Paragon vampire struck the werewolf hard in the face, making the creature feel his world shake as he flew away.

But halfway to the waterfall, the werewolf felt the thing holding his ankle pull him back toward the Mid-level Paragon vampire.

The creature's eyes widened as he saw his target return to him, and a red blade condensed in the air, ready to cut his target in half.

Ayden, who had just launched a decisive attack against Qiang's already wounded target, tried to intervene. However, as his already wounded opponent was about to die, an Intermediate Archmage from the enemy group stepped in front of him.

Faced with such a powerful monster, Ayden couldn't help Lonan. He focused his powers on himself, knowing if he didn't use all of his focus against the attacker, he would surely die!

While Bonfi was busy fighting the two Beginner Archmages chasing him, Paul, like Ayden, had managed to unleash a deadly attack and kill the second enemy in the area.

But as soon as he had defeated the Beginning Archmage that had attacked him, one of the superior vampires and a 6th stage monster pressured him.

At that moment, the battle that had begun for these individuals with the advantage in their initial attack changed direction!

While some of the 6th stage monsters were destroying the armor that was hindering them, the six individuals could not help each other as opponents capable of killing them pressured them.

Lonan felt this as he received no help before having one of his arms severed by the Mid-level Paragon in front of him, who didn't take it easy as he moved, intending to make such werewolf suffer before his death.

"Awoo!"

The werewolf howled in pain as he felt his enemy's second cut, this time losing his right ear as blood stained his dark fur.

The first few moments after the change were brutal, as each of the six suffered dangerous attacks, spending much of their mana to protect their lives and barely fending off their enemies.

Each of them suffered differently. While Lonan felt the sadistic bloodlust of the Mid-level Paragon vampire attacking him, Jakob was being dodged by his opponent.

Deformations and purple spots appeared around Jakob's face, arms, legs, back, and abdomen, while his vision became limited.

Ayden had part of his body pierced by one of his enemy's tails as he couldn't help but look around and see how they were all going to die.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

As he screamed in pain, Bonfi felt his flames dying in front of the two enemies attacking him, and though he fought bravely, he could not escape from them to help his companions.

Qiang fought hard against Dark Griffin and managed to wound his opponent, showing impressive fighting skills. However, even with such a display of power against an Intermediate Archmage, it wasn't enough.

'Shit! If I don't get rid of this bastard soon, the entire party will perish!' The hippogryph thought as he watched the last of Vicente's robot armor being destroyed by the monsters that had not joined the fight against them yet.

With these opponents left free to attack them, the next moves in this battle could be the last lives of any of these six allies!

Not only did Qiang see this. Lonan, Bonfi, and the three humans realized the same thing as they suffered in their own ways and saw that they would meet their end even before the crucial moment of Vicente's journey. For these noble warriors of different races, this was the worst thing: to fail in their purpose!

Meanwhile, the monsters and vampires attacked them with all their might, arriving at the best moment of the battle, the point at which they could end this battle and return to their group's camp with the bodies of their enemies!
