Vlad probably never expected that the 8-star magical spirit he had crafted after paying a great price, [Vampire Count], would actually be defeated by a 7-star magical spirit.
When Vampire Count's body gradually turned into skin and bones as his blood was completely absorbed by Bastemon, Vlad realised that he was done for.
He was, more or less, the type who knew when to bow and when to rise.
Retreat when it was time to retreat, and advance when it was time to advance.
At this instance, he made a quick decision and fled back without even bothering to adjust his expression or bark any parting threats.
Due to Dark's arrival, the Light Cavalry that previously blocked the passage had stood back against the wall and left him with a path to escape.
In the process of fleeing, Vlad didn't forget to initiate his last magic card.He then vigorously threw back the magic spell card that had begun to emit a blood-red light. A ceaseless storm of bats flew out of the card and surged at Bastemon and Dark like a swarm of bees!
Although they looked like real bats, they were in fact merely a horde of phantoms.
The enormous number densely covered the entire passage.
In an instant, Dark lost sight of Vlad.
But he promptly yelled out, "Bastemon, catch him!"
"Meow!"
With a cry, Bastemon sucked Vampire Count dry and tossed it aside. Putting strength to her feet, she leaped onto the wall and used the momentum to pounce forward, instantly shortening her distance to Vlad the Vampire!
Vlad could sense the approach of this magical spirit without needing to look back.
Despite his flustered look, a sharp light flickered in his eyes.
In Robert's body, he had no way to exert his power.
He could almost imagine his tragic end of getting killed once he was caught.
But there was something far more terrifying than death.
In his time parasitizing Robert's body, Vlad had gained a basic knowledge of this era's intel.
He was well aware that he was most likely to be the last vampire!
And in Saint Marian Academy, there were several professors who were genuinely obsessed with research.
If he fell into the hands of those professors, he probably wouldn't be able to die even if he wanted to.
Because vampires were demons, in the eyes of some humans, they were akin to fish on the chopping board. They wouldn't have any qualms on dissecting him for research.
So he must not get caught! Even if he meant that he needed to die!
……
At this moment, the pride rooted deep inside his soul had already risen.
Vlad would rather die than allow himself to become a guinea pig!
"But it's fine."
He couldn't help touching his chest as a sinister smile squeezed its way across his flustered face.
"Someone will be buried along with me."
"One in exchange for one, this isn't a loss!"
……
But after Vlad made the decision to perish together with Robert, a ray of hope illuminated his eyes.
His "best friend"—White Gawd—suddenly dashed out from the corner!
At first, Vlad thought that White Gawd was also part of the siege.
But then he immediately realised that if White wanted to attack him, he didn't need to go through such trouble at all.
The two were almost inseparable.
If White had discovered that he was hiding in Robert's body, he would've already been captured by those unfathomable professors by now.
However, since that wasn't the case…
Vlad's eyes gleamed with splendour. He quickly hid the bloody glint in his gaze in the depths of his eyes.
"White? Quickly run!"
He raced ahead and dragged White who was beginning to slow down.
"Huff… Huff…"
White gasped for breath and hurriedly asked, "Robert, why are you here? I was spotted by a golem…"
Vlad pulled him to run towards another corner, anxiously shouting, "I've also been spotted by golems. Not only golems, there's even bats as well."
"Bats? Where do they come from?" White looked to the side and saw a swarm of bats blocking his view.
Vlad hurriedly replied, "How do I know? Anyway, run faster, I don't want to be given detention again!"
Yet outside White's field of vision, Vlad slightly raised his left hand and curled his fingers into claws. A terribly ominous bloody aura swirled in the centre of his claws.
His confidence had clearly risen after obtaining a new hostage.
In his eyes, Robert was a worthless person who wouldn't have much value even if he took him as a hostage.
But his best friend White was the Brave One's son. He was definitely a worthy hostage.
Soon, he discovered the fact that the 7-star magical spirit hadn't chased after him.
This made him realise that his conjecture was absolutely right.
Now that White Gawd was in his grasp, even that blond boy had stopped attacking for fear of harming him.
After this, all he needed to do was…
A glimpse of extreme greed suddenly flashed in Vlad's eyes!
He had been holding back for so long.
As a vampire with normal taste, White Gawd was a delicacy who couldn't be more delicious!
But in order to fulfil his plan to study well and make constant progress, he kept on holding back, holding back, and holding back!
Now that he had been discovered, he could finally stop holding himself back!
……
First, he would transfer his soul into White Gawd's body and completely occupy it.
Then, he would suck all of Robert's blood to replenish his energy and use it to digest the particularity of White Gawd's body.
Once he had successfully digested it, there was a possibility that he would return to his top form or grow even stronger!
At that time, he would have the power to break through the barrier and escape from the academy.
However, it was a pity that his path to seek knowledge would be cut off because of this.
……
During this brief period of time, Vlad had already thought up about his follow-up actions.
He seemed to think that he had gotten out of the dangerous situation. As he ran hand in hand with White, it even seemed as though a romantic and cheerful melody was playing in the background.
The two of them made various twists and turns in the passages of the castle. With their rich experience in fleeing, they finally got rid of the golem's pursuit.
Vlad dragged White into a classroom and panted as he asked, "We finally shook them off. Are you okay, White?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine," said White while propping his hands on his knees, a wisp of green glimmering at the corner of his mouth.
After a while, he perplexedly asked, "Robert, why are you also outside?"
Vlad answered with a grin, "I followed you out because I was curious. How did it go? With your… hehehe!"
There was a hint of embarrassment on White's face as he lamented, "You didn't see it? I was spotted by a golem as soon as I crossed the bridge. After I finally managed to escape, she told me…"
Vlad put on a curious expression: "What did she tell you?"
White: "She said she lost in truth or dare and was forced to give me chocolate. Those girls really went too far, they even made a bet behind my back on whether or not I'd go out to meet her!"
Vlad couldn't help showing a look of astonishment, a feeling of pity suddenly rising in his heart for this "best friend" of his.
