Chapter 373: 358 is up to you now
"————"
In the beautifully arranged courtyard, the air gradually become vicious and heavy. Except for Reiger himself, the complexions of everyone else tensed up the instant the enemies made their appearance.
Lakyus scanned the surroundings, observing the attackers who either wore cold smiles or exuded a dangerous aura, and called out their identities.
"You are the ’Six Arms,’ aren’t you?"
This was undoubtedly the case.
Not to mention that exactly six individuals had appeared, the aura they emitted and the dangerously extreme assaults they had just launched made it clear that these were no ordinary individuals, but rather ones who posed a threat even to top-tier orichalcum-ranked adventurers.
In the ’Eight Fingers,’ only members of the ’Six Arms’ could match orichalcum-ranked adventurers.
Therefore, how could these six not be the ’Six Arms’?
Not to mention, they had shown at least some of their capabilities, which had directly exposed their identities.
The seductive woman dressed in thin silk, wearing gold rings on her wrists and ankles, and surrounded by six curved swords was Edestrian, known as ’Blood Dance Curved Sword.’
’Six Arms’" Edestrian was capable of skillfully using special magical weapons, thus earning the nickname ’Blood Dance Curved Sword,’ which perfectly fit this seductive woman surrounded by six curved swords, confirming without a doubt that she was Edestrian.
The man dressed in ornate clothing, styled like a bullfighter, holding a rose rapier was Mamvist of ’Thousand Slaughters.’
’Six Arms’" Mamvist specialized in thrusting attacks as a Poisoned Swordsman. He had just launched an astoundingly swift thrust attack with that rose rapier at Gegran, and the fragrance of the rose emanating from the rapier had a dangerously poisonous feel, confirming his identity as Mamvist.
The warrior clad in unadorned full body armor, wielding a sword whip that telescoped into a long sword, was Peshlian of ’Space Slash.’
’Six Arms’" Peshlian was said to be able to slay enemies far from him, and his sword, which could be used like a whip, perfectly matched this characteristic. Able to slash from a distance, he could only be Peshlian.
Then there was the emaciated man dressed in black, whose skin was so pale it had a bluish tint and seemed never to have seen the sun—a definite indication he was ’Illusion Fiend’ Saku Dune.
’Six Arms’" Saku Dune was adept with illusion techniques. He had initially used an illusion technique to conceal his track before attacking Lakyus, so he could only be Saku Dune.
As for the one dressed in a black hooded robe, emitting an aura devoid of life from beneath, as though he were a corpse, the Magic Singer was definitely Divanock, the ’King of Death.’
’Six Arms’" Divanock wasn’t human, but an undead, a dark magician born from negative energy after death, different from the unintelligent lower undead as he possessed wisdom and could use magical techniques far beyond what a human Magic Singer could achieve. Thus, this black-robed magician who just launched ’Fireball’ at Tia and Tina could only be Divanock.
And the bald, muscular man who had last come out of the mansion and had not participated in the initial attack had also unmistakably revealed his identity.
The leader of ’Six Arms,’ responsible for overseeing illegal bodyguard businesses within ’Eight Fingers’ and possessed the strongest combat prowess in ’Eight Fingers,’ known as ’Ghost Fighter,’ the fighter Jie Luo.
This was the identity of the six individuals present. Lakyus’s question had, even before being asked, already found its answer—there was no need for a reply.
Of course, the current ’Six Arms’ was not the same as before, so Lakyus’s question was not entirely rhetorical.
At least, Ivey, with eyes behind his mask fastened firmly on Jie Luo, who led the ’Six Arms,’ spoke as though he was spitting out in disgust,
"To appear before us like this, yet still completely devoid of the aura of the living, these people, as mentioned in the reports, are indeed no longer human."
This was what they said, but including Ivey, all members of the ’Cerulean Rose’ still found it somewhat inconceivable.
"...Looking at them, they seem able to converse normally just like when they were human. Are these really the vampires transformed through vampiric conversion?"
Brian couldn’t help blurting out.
Indeed, vampires could by draining someone’s blood turn the victim into a vampire absolutely subservient to themselves, but such transformation would only result in lower vampires much less intelligent than themselves, similar to the lesser vampires that attacked Reiger and his companions earlier outside.
However, the ’Six Arms’ before them displayed intelligence and personality indistinguishable from their human days—these were not lower vampires, but entirely naturally born vampire breeds.
This, above all, was why everyone present, including Ivey, found it unbelievable.
Only Reiger knew that Shalltear Bloodfallen, this highest-ranking True Ancestor vampire to date, unlike common vampires, could create vampire kin whose intelligence was almost completely equal to that of humans.
