Chapter 47:
Under the guidance of the vampires, the rescuers split into three teams and finally entered the city. Since the survivors on the outskirts had mostly been led out by the small players, these people needed to venture deeper into the outer city districts.
This was undoubtedly a dangerous act.
But with over a hundred people brandishing bright torches and advancing under the vampires’ lead in the dead of night, they cut quite an imposing figure. At the very least, those formless spawns of fear lurking in the shadows dared not randomly jump out anymore.
These invisible beings were manifestations of astral tainted energy guided by mortals’ emotions. In other words, as long as the collective emotions of fear and despair subsided, the number of spawns would relatively decrease as well.
To put it simply, the more you fear them, the more of them there will be.
But now, the flickering flames cutting through the rubble and night air of Transia rekindled the people’s courage. In their culture, fire was sacred, just as a traveler’s campfire in the night would always deter evil things lurking in the darkness, preventing them from running rampant.
Of course, Murphy and the other two vampires, as well as Maxim and the small players, occasionally had to play the role of combatants. The spawns of despair were merely a negligible nuisance, it was the astral beasts that emerged from time to time to terrorize people that posed the real danger.
For the two ladies, Lady Tris and Lady Adele, these creatures that could only hunt in the outskirts were not difficult opponents. But for Murphy, they were quite a challenge to deal with.
He was currently at the outskirts of the area he was responsible for, battling a pack of astral wolves.
