In the Green Forest, just on the outskirts of the eleventh land named Disruption, stemmed from the name of the eleventh Vampire Clan, "Disruption."
Han Jiho, with a baffled expression, couldn't help but query Scarlet Netherdawn, who seemed nonchalant at the current situation.
"Ma'am Scarlet, h-how did we get here almost instantly?"
"First of all, refer to me as 'MIss' when we are outside of the academy. Then, regarding your next question, it seems you're not paying attention, but we flew from the Obelisk Academy to here."
Scarlet Netherdawn responded, looking around the part of the Green Forest, where one of the gates to enter the eleventh land of the vampires could be seen from hundreds of meters away from them.
'W-what? Then why it's almost in an instant? I know she has no reason to lie, but if we flew here that far, that would make her speed go beyond human grasp.'
Han Jiho thought in disbelief. Although he had seen some others fighting, to fly from thousands of kilometers in less than a minute or so, was just too much for his brain to currently understand.
"I know what you are wondering about, but fret not. It's just the wind seemed to affect your eyes, that's why you didn't see how we're able to come to this isolated place."
'T-that's why I can't open my eyes earlier! It seems the wind pressure is not letting me. Sigh, whatever, but…'
There were many questions formed in Han Jiho's mind, but what he couldn't help but think about at this moment was the peculiarity of the situation he was in. In simple terms, Han Jiho was wondering if there would be more people.
"Uh, Miss Scarlet, are we the only ones here? I mean, shouldn't we bring help or other companions for additional manpower? And what about the objective?"
Han Jiho, based on his request, wanted to do something to at least fight for humanity. However, it seemed as though he was being sent on a suicidal mission by the unexpected actions or strange demeanor that one of his professors was showing.
"Didn't you say you want to contribute to this war by at least slaying some vampires? There you have it. I'll be guiding you, so go on a rampage by breaking through the front gate."
'...Is she crazy?! I don't even know where's the front gate she's referring to since we're surrounded by trees. That aside, what did she mean by she'd be guiding me?''
Han Jiho muttered to himself, somewhat feeling a sense of regret for asking Scarlet. However, knowing that this woman was the closest aide or companion of the Chancellor of the Obelisk Academy, Han Jiho thought that there were more discreet or untold reasons behind her actions that led to this moment.
"Let's go North, then you'll see a massive gate or an entrance to a fortress. The Vampire Soldiers assigned to guard the place are the ones you'll be facing, but don't worry about anything and just fight to your heart's content."
Even though Han Jiho was confused about many things such as the change in the demeanor of the professor, who seemed different from her usual self when she was in the academy, and the assurance and firmness in her tone as if nothing would go wrong as long as she's with him.
'I don't know what's going on, Miss Scarlet, but I trust Alexander, so I'll trust you as well!'
Han Jiho's trust in him, although he knew that Alexander was withholding some information about him that maybe the truth behind the Monster Stampede that killed his parents and almost turned the Sanctus Solaris village into ruins, was absolute.
"Okay, Miss Scarlet. Please guide me."
A genuine smile was painted on Scarlet's face as if she was expecting the answer from the young man himself.
"Alright. Follow me, Jiho."
Her response, as usual as it may sound, contained an indescribable familiarity when Han Jiho heard it.

On Anya's side, the Western capital of Cassiopeia.
The leader of the elite squad from the Olympus Guild, Akane Fuka, had quickly issued the order to intercept the outpouring of Vampire Soldiers from the enormous crimson portals that appeared due to several ancient artifacts, which could also give buffs to strengthen the vampires within its area of effect.
"Miss Anya, please be prepared. Although losses have already occurred, other remaining player civilians outside of the lines of defense had already been evacuated."
Anya felt relieved by at least hearing some survivors from the unexpected attack. This lively place of the noble land now looked like a ghost town due to the deafening silence and the crimson sky caused by the ancient artifact or the "Seven-Point Crimson Pillar."
'I don't know if we're primitive, but the behavior of the Vampire Soldiers is similar to barbarians, who just throw themselves in front and not caring about death.'
Anya thought, preparing for the arrival of hundreds of Vampire Soldiers, shrouded through the crimson mist that seemed to come from the ancient artifact, with diverse effects over time.
After two to three minutes since one of the scouts had sighted the Vampire Soldiers and had made a report to the squad leader, footsteps that seemed to spell death entered the ears of everyone, even though it was at least a hundred meters away.
<Everyone, ready!>
Through telepathic communication, her voice reverberated in each and everyone's head, even Anya's.
"HUMAAANS-!"
Hungry for blood, that distance was covered quickly as several vampires entered the sights of Anya, Akane, and the other members of the guild assigned to protect this place.
Anya Amasawa, with a serious expression, took out her Personal Weapon, Sickle of Depravity, from her Dimensional Inventory as she readied herself to be soaked in blood on this battlefield.

On the twelfth land of the Vampire Lands, Rainfire.
Russell Moon, along with his companions, the Princess of Etheria, and Ayleen Mayfield, did whatever they could and what was appropriate for the moment to help.
He and his companions, the original Umbra Mercenary, went ahead with some Elves to fight against or capture the surrendering vampires.
On the other hand, instead of joining the fray in killing or capturing the bloodsucking creatures, Ayleen Mayfield decided to tend to the mental strength of the Elves. In other words, she found it more beneficial to help the state of mind of the Elven Soldiers, who were currently engaged against the Vampire Soldiers.
Then, about the Princess of Etheria, Elizabeth von Etherion also didn't choose to fight, instead, she utilized her teleportation skill to quickly rescued those Elven Soldiers that were gravely injured and bring them to the Elves who specialized in healing.
"We've got a few fours since their reinforcements arrive."
Thessalia, the Elven Commander, who was managing the Elven Soldiers under her command at the front of the Gate of Nature, said in a serious manner.
With their surprise attack in the capital of Rainfire, thanks to the efforts of specific humans, the other Vampire Soldiers, or even Vampire Knights and Vampire Wizards were away.
In other words, they were far from the capital's location to respond to the sudden infiltration of the Elves.
This also meant one thing...
To finish their specific objectives in that amount of time.
"You're right. Even if the capital of his beloved land was attacked, the Vampire Lord of this place won't easily show himself."
Ayleen Mayfield, standing by the side as she cast simple skill on the wonder Elven Soldiers, responded to Thessalia's words.
Rumble-! Rumble-
At that moment, the conversation between the two came to a halt as a short earthquake struck the ground.
Then, in less than a minute, a winged figure or monster erected from it, and a cry was heard for the first time
***
The figure was gigantic and was resembling a stone gargoyle. However, its features were a bit off since it didn't possess any kind of eyes, but had eight large tentacles and four wide crimson wings. It's like a combination of a bat and a cuttlefish.
As it flew from the ground, near the castle of the Vampire Lord residing in this place, it took its time as it landed on the roof of the Royal Palace and scrutinized everyone from afar and were having their own battles.
Shriek-!!
A seemingly familiar cry of a monster reverberated throughout the capital of Rainfire.
After that, regardless of its massive size of around eight to ten meters, it disappeared from the top of the castle and quickly landed somewhere, as the cries of the Elven Soldiers and some Vampires echoed throughout this land.
***
'Motressa, huh...'
Russell Moon thought, seeing the gigantic creature that literally could pick on any individual on the ground as if they were just prey, waiting to be killed by the predator.
"Die-!"
Spurt-!
A random Vampire Soldier lunged forward, but Freya Moon intercepted the attack and let her older brother do whatever he was doing.
"Thank you. By the way, everyone. We need to kill that thing because this place will probably turn into hell later."
"Alright. What's the plan? We are all ears, you know that.
With Samantha's response, Russell then quickly informed Samantha, Elizabeth, and his Chaos Companions of what to do against the monstrosity that was currently tearing apart anyone without second thoughts.
***
– It's near immortal, but we... No, you can kill it.
Russell Moon's words echoed in Samantha's head as the short meeting to eliminate the Motressa finally ended.
'Ah, crap! Let's go!'
