Just like humans, the vampires also feared the things that they were unfamiliar with. And why wouldn't they fear those objects when their comrades were catching fire one by one and were burning to crisps. How were they supposed to know that the same thing wasn't going to happen to them?
"Give me the potion! Or take me to the shade! Please!" One of the vampires who was burning was screaming for help. "It feels like the sun!"
The vampire by his side tried to take out his stock of potions from his belt. However, because his hands were shaking uncontrollably, he ended up dropping the vial. He gulped and looked around for any shade nearby. But they were in the middle of barren land.
He then hurriedly took out his cloak and walked towards his burning friend. But before he could reach his friend, he felt a sudden thrust from behind followed by a sharp pain in his chest. And before he could think about what was going on, he got bitten by a werewolf and lost his head.
That werewolf swiftly jumped over that corpse and bit another vampire.
"Arrghhhh! Stop!" that vampire shouted and tried to fight back. However, he was killed before he could even lift his hand.
Taking advantage of the dazed state of the vampires, the werewolves pounced on those who were not burning. They were punching their sharp claws through the vampires' hearts, biting their heads and arms off, and doing anything to finish them off.
The witches and the wizards were mostly burning those vampires who had not yet caught the fire. It was easier for them to target the vampires since they were still not running around.
And Adeline, she was jumping in the air and was twisting her arms and turning her body while piercing her sword through their hearts or decapitating them.
"More!"
Slice!
"More!"
Thump!
"I need to kill more!"
Pierce! Thud!
Adeline was hellbent on killing as many vampires as she could in a short duration because she knew that the moment they would snap out of their confused state, the vampires would start to kill her own.
"I NEED TO KILL MORE!"
Slash! Pierce! Thump!
There was so much balance in her body and precision in her attacks that Adeline looked like a war Goddess. She had already locked in her fear and morale and was wiping out the enemies with great ease.
Where she stood, she was now surrounded by the heaps of bodies of the vampires whom she had killed. She had already killed around 30 vampires within that confusion period.
"Are you all dead or what? Fight back goddamnit!" General Evans was thrashing a werewolf and was turning him into a pulp in his rage.
His anger-filled roar was able to bring back the senses of the vampires who were still not fighting back. And as if their souls had suddenly been slammed back into their bodies, they gave out loud battle cries and ran to kill everyone and anyone from the enemy's side.
Evans looked around to see that not even 600 vampires were still standing on the battlefield.
"Those vermins!" Evans got up and slammed his fist inside a werewolf's gut who had tried to jump on him. He pulled out that wolf's gut and screamed, "They easily killed our best soldiers just like that! I should have trusted the folklores more! Dammit!"
He ran and pierced his hand through another wolf's throat. And he kept on scolding himself, "I should have properly warned my soldiers not to take these wolves and those sorcerers lightly. This is my own doing! I might have as well killed all of my soldiers!"
The lights from the flares were starting to die down. Another three rounds of explosions were heard again. And before the previous flares died down, new ones were already in the sky so that it would aid the human soldiers who were also soon going to face their enemies.
The human soldiers from Mihir's side were marching as fast as they could. As the werewolves and the sorcerers had by now surrounded and trapped all the remaining vampires in the middle, the human soldiers from Wyverndale's side also marched past the superhumans and ran towards their enemies.
Adeline looked forward and she couldn't help but notice Reginald. He was mounting a horse and was in the middle of the humans as if all of them were his meat shields.
Adeline pulled out her sword from the chest of a vampire that she had just struck and snarled, "That bastard! Make sure you don't come at me soon… unless you want to invite your own death sooner."
She sensed a vampire coming at her from behind. And without even turning around, she flipped her sword behind her and pierced it right through that attacker's heart. She pushed the dead body with her back and pulled out the sword while glaring at Reginald.
Even though there was a considerable distance between the two rulers, both of them could clearly see each other because of their sharp eyesight.
"Can she really see me from that far or did she just happen to look my way without really seeing me?" Reginald got curious because he could swear that Adeline's gaze was piercing right through his face.
Adeline felt a gust of wind hitting her face, and a man with blonde hair and a burly body stood in front of her, blocking her view. He looked double the size of Adeline, maybe almost as tall and bulky as Theodore.
Evans then gave a death glare to Adeline and asked in his grumbling voice, "So, you are the Queen that our King went mad over?" He tightened his fists and pinned all the blame of the war on Adeline, "You are the one who is the root cause of these deaths?"
Adeline also returned his death glare and spoke in a harsh voice, "Wasn't your King going to attack Wyverndale before he even met me? Don't blame me for your King's pebble-sized ego."
"Damn you!" Evans snarled and leaped with an intention to slam that tiny Queen down to her death. "Let's get this war over and done with."
However, he had again made a big mistake by not analyzing the Queen's skills as well as her speed before attacking her. He didn't know what he was getting himself into.
His eyes were wide open when Adeline casually dodged his fist. She was even following him with her eyes.
And not just that, she also sliced his arm while shouting back, "No! Damn you and your stupid King!"
"What is she?"
