More than a hundred vampire elites stormed forward to join the battle.
In an instant, the Curia's Holy Knights were overwhelmed, rapidly increasing in the number of casualties.
The cardinals could no longer stay behind the knights as they stepped forward to take on the vampire elites.
Nathan said to the Seven Champions, “The members of the Curia are getting swamped by the mob of vampires. Go and assist them.”
“Yes!”
Myron and the rest of the Seven Champions bolted off to support the Curia's army on the battlefield.
Colin, Sevan, and the Elite Eight stood guard around Nathan, slaughtering all the bondslaves who attempted to get close to Nathan.
Nathan noticed the Seven Champions' assistance reduced the pressure on the Curia's army, but their comrades continued to perish.
He knitted his brows slightly. A significant number of people in the city died. Most of them were infected by the blood virus before their deaths and became bondslaves. Based on my conservative estimation, there are over ten thousand bondslaves in this city. The situation is not advantageous to us if we drag this fight longer.
He made the decision to cripple the enemy's ranks by defeating their leader.
Killing Aaryan would render the bondslaves aimless without a leader.
Therefore, he said to Colin and the others, “You don't have to protect me anymore. Go and help Hepburn and her party. I will do away with their leader to avenge our fallen comrades.”
Colin, Sevan, and the rest responded in unison, “Understood!”
With that, Nathan marched in Aaryan's direction.
The bondslaves noticed Nathan's guards dispersing. With no one to safeguard him, they thought that was a perfect opportunity to kill him, so they immediately launched themselves at him.
Nathan snorted coldly. “Have I permitted you all to block my path?”
He stomped on the ground after he spoke.
Boom!
The ear-splitting sound reverberated through the air, and the ground shook.
More than ten bondslaves who got near Nathan were blasted into the air. Their bodies contorted in mid-air, and by the time they fell back to the ground, all of them were dead.
Nathan continued to stride toward Aaryan.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another party of over a dozen bondslaves approached Nathan rapidly, stacking atop one another to form a tight encirclement, similar to a human pyramid, around Nathan.
Nearby, Hepburn saw Nathan surrounded by countless bondslaves to the extent of disappearing among the throng. She was worried about him, fearing he might suffer an unexpected defeat.
However, at that moment, rays of dazzling white light erupted from within the mound of bondslaves.
The next second, innumerable bondslaves were smashed to smithereens, and blood splattered everywhere.
