Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 391 - Battle! Against Assassins!



-----

As the group reached an Inn and decided to pass the night there to get the full Isekai experience, several shadows crawled around the Inn Building and looked at the people from within the rooftops.

These people were shrouded in black clothes and held dark and powerful presences.

They were assassins for hire, an agency that was actually secretly founded by the King of Windias to dispose of any threats to the future stability of the Kingdom.

This group of assassins had even slain countless other people before, they were stealthy, and silent, and held techniques and magic that let them assassinate others while they were still in their humanoid forms!

Usually, Dragons in Vedas were not so strong in their humanoid forms.

The humanoid form was certainly convenient for them, it aided them in the ability to create tools, to interact better with the world around them, to craft intricate items and more, but it was also weak.

This was because the spell they use to transform is usually named Polymorph, or well, the ability they use. Not all Dragons can use Polymorph, and only those of strong bloodlines are capable of channeling the true power of the spell.

But due to this spell, they are bound to this physical body. Although around 40% of their original parameters are kept, the other often disappears to adjust their bodies to their power, but it comes back after turning into a dragon once more.

Due to this, taking humanoid forms also meant weakening themselves! But due to this, it was also easy to assassinate them.

But the problem arose pretty obviously, if they were so weak while transformed, where can there be someone strong enough to assassinate a dragon in humanoid form, as it is rather obvious that it is the best stealthy way of doing it?

Using a normal giant dragon body will never work on this regard. They required to be swift and ruthless, fast, and efficient, that\'s what assassins were all about, they were people that killed, they didn\'t battled, they killed on the spot.

Due to this, assassins in this kingdom undergone a terrible regime since they\'re born, often picked up from the streets as good talented kids that can take humanoid forms, they\'re trained to kill since children.

They are told to abandon their dragon forms and although they continued to Level Up their Dragon Heart to gain an overall strength to their physical power and magical power, they are trained almost exclusively through their humanoid forms!

Because they\'re trained almost exclusively this way, it means their humanoid bodies are incredibly strong and capable of killing even dragons of their similar strength…

These assassins sneaked through the night, their eyes flashing with deadly bloodthirst as a divine power surged from within their souls, new capabilities they originally didn\'t possess came from within the depths of their souls. They were not normal assassins, but those of Gergesh.

And therefore… they held more than what they looked like.

Led by a blonde-haired dragon woman with short, blue-colored wings, the assassins crawled around the rooftops with their claws stealthily…

They looked over the window where everyone was sleeping, squinting their eyes.

They suddenly conjured a special type of magic, easily opening the windows with it and sneaking inside…

As the blonde girl stepped inside, suddenly, the world changed around her and all those that got inside of the place.

"Eh?!"

They suddenly found themselves in a place filled with bright red colors, spiraling with darkness.

"Welcome my dear guests, we had been waiting for you."

Noah greeted them.

"W-What… where are?! How did you detected us?" asked the leader, her glowing aquamarine eyes flashing with anger.

"Hah, do you think you can just sneak in our backs and assassinate us?" laughed Noah.

"T-This…"

"Oh right, you\'re inside of a place I\'ve named Domain. When you combine several types of magic together alongside a divinity, a domain can eb created. It is a different space, yet it isn\'t. In here, I can encapsulate you all inside so you can never run away! How wonderful, isn\'t it?" asked Noah.

Domains were a staple that all Demigods and above used. By expanding their divine power and fusing it with their elemental magic, they can create a vast area to entrap enemies within, this can be enhanced even more with each divinity the user has, of course, this costs constant amounts of divine power, but Noah had more than enough.

The Assassins were around 8, counting the leader, and all of them seemed nervous, exuding powerful auras, they looked everywhere for clues to escape, but it was impossible. They had no way to escape…

"You got a little trick below your sleeve, don\'t you? Tell me more about that divine power I feel within your soul and I might spare your souls from being devoured… You see, the kids are hungry, that food wasn\'t enough for them yet." Said Noah, as five little kids were standing at his side, while their parents looked from behind.

"What kind of bullshit is this? KIDS?! We have the divine power of Gergesh-sama, why are you so fearful, Nattannia?! Don\'t you want to avenge your brother? Just kill them so we can complete this mission!" roared a young man with short brown hair, his face was barely visible beneath the black robes, but he rushed directly towards Noah!

"Wait, Ethan!" said Nattannia, as she saw the energetic man rush towards his target, his two blades began to exude a powerful draconic aura from within as shadows were unleashed from within, shaping as countless furious dragon heads!

"GGRROOAARRR!"

"I\'ll take this one." Said Alice, playfully jumping towards the catastrophe approaching.

"Venomous Thunder Vortex!"

Alicia\'s beautiful blonde hair waved around as she pointed her tiny hand at her adversary, thunderbolts began to surge from them.

"A shitty brat won\'t stand a chance against my power!" laughed Ethan!

However!

CLAAAASSSSSHHH!

"GRAAHH…?!"

The shadow dragon jaws were easily stopped and completely blasted out of the orbit by the powerful, purple-colored thunderbolts, as they reached the man and bathed him!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"GGRUUUAAGGH…!"
