Chapter 280: Vlad vs Lamorto (II)
Lamorto’s eyes remained cold and calculating as he sized up the human standing before him. The immense power radiating from Vlad was undeniable, perhaps even greater than his own, which came as a real shock since he could not understand how a human could grow so fast in a New World.
However, as an Abyssal demon, fear and hesitation were foreign concepts. Any trace of doubt was ruthlessly purged from his mind, replaced by a singular focus on the battle ahead.
Lamorto’s gaze briefly flickered to the Xaos soldiers and the small yellow cat wreaking havoc on the demonic beasts farther down the battlefield. The power unleashed by the small group, especially the cat, was enough to put him in danger, but they were too far away to interfere in his fight with Vlad.
A twisted smile curled across the Abyssal’s face as he turned his attention back to Vlad. Thousands of his demonic Champions surrounded the battlefield, and he felt confident in his advantage.
"Hmph, so what if you’re strong? Let’s see how you handle all of us!" Lamorto sneered, preparing to unleash the full might of his forces to overwhelm the young man before him.
But before he could give the command, screams of agony echoed from the back of the horde. Lamorto’s eyes widened in disbelief as he saw a group of warriors tearing through his army from behind.
Leading them was a young woman adorned with tribal tattoos. She moved with fluid grace as she crushed demon Champions with her mace and sent others flying with her shield. Beside her was a fearsome fiendish werewolf, his claws ripping through demons and his powerful kicks blasting them apart.
Behind the duo were twenty-four additional warriors, less mighty but equally relentless. Together, they carved a path of destruction, overpowering demon Champions with brutal efficiency.
"Impossible, impossible, impossible," Lamorto muttered, repeating the word as if it would somehow make sense of the chaos unfolding around him. How could his forces be attacked from both sides with such overwhelming power?
