Chapter 3771: Best Weapon (Part 2)

"Are you alright?" Protector now stood in front of the pantry, but behind the protection of the newly reformed arrays.

Charging against so many opponents alone was suicidal. The situation got worse by the second as the Upyrs recovered from the shock and assumed a battle formation.

"Yes." Jadon was as pale as a ghost as he held the shivering figure of his sister in his arms. The Count was terrified of the humanoid wolf, but Ryman had stopped the Upyrs, so he couldn’t be an enemy. "Who are you and where’s Lith?"

"I’m a friend of Lith’s, and he’s outside." Protector nodded at the south wall, from which the booming sounds of the fight echoed. "He’s been delayed. I’m-"

"Protector the Skoll." Kazam finished the phrase before Protector could use an alias. "A small-time ally of Verhen. You are supposed to have a bright blue core. How did you get the violet?"

Orpal’s information was outdated. Ryman rarely took part in battles due to his lack of progress, and Orpal had no idea that the Skoll and Ryman were the same person, so he had given no importance to him.

"That doesn’t matter." Protector replied, trying to buy time. "What matters is that you are a Drake. You are a son of Leegaain. How can you join Meln Narchat when the Hydras are working on a method to turn all Lesser Dragons into Divine Beasts?"

"Please!" Kazan sneered. "The Hydras are working on making themselves Divine Beasts. If and when they share their research with the Drakes, we’d have to work on it ourselves. Why wait centuries when I can be a Divine Beast now?

"Because I am a Divine Beast, mutt." The Drake’s aura was deep violet, but the power he exuded was beyond that of any Emperor Beast.

’I forgot that the Hydras are keeping their research and collaboration with the other Lesser Divine Beasts a secret.’ Ryman inwardly cursed. ’Even if I tell them the truth, the Upyrs won’t believe me and the Hydras will kill me.’

"Get out of the way and we won’t kill you." Kazan said.

"Go away, and Lith won’t kill you." Protector replied. "He’s coming here and you know it."

"So what?" Tarn shrugged. "Once the arrays are gone, we can Warp out of here, and he has no way of following us."

The Upyrs had kept shifting their position the whole time, forming an arrow tip battle formation centered around the Drake. The moment everyone was ready, they had nothing to talk about anymore.

"So do us a favor and die!" Kazam said as he attacked.

Protector took a deep breath, and the world seemed to slow down as his body made the necessary changes to adjust to his top speed. There was no point in being quick if all he saw was a blur and all he heard was the sound of his own steps. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

In the time that it took the Upyrs to make their first step, Protector’s eyes measured the anteroom in front of the pantry. He located the areas where the protective arrays of the mansion were still functional and thick enough to offer him temporary asylum.

By the second step, his gaze moved to the Upyrs, using Life Vision to assess their original races of origin and accessing the Monocle’s database to learn about the Upyrs’ physical abilities.

’Well, this sucks.’ The vast majority of the Upyrs were Fae or plant folk, while the rest were Emperor Beasts.

Undead couldn’t take Orpal’s blood except as a regular meal, and humans were too weak to be useful in the Dead King’s plans.

At the enemy’s third step, Protector leaned forward. He tensed the muscles of his legs like springs and relaxed those of his arms for a more flexible grip on his maces.
