"When? How?" She yells after taking a moment to observe her surroundings. The five subordinates she had with her were slain by my Magico Disks while she was too busy attacking me with unrestrained fury.

"The time is ripe!" Newcomers A and B suddenly said together, currently distinguishable only by their figure; where one is small and thin, the other has a solid build. Above them, the full moon shines down upon us. Within the span of a few seconds it grew, then turned from the usual whitish blue to a bloody hue. "Together, Polina!"

"You mere Spawns dare to command me, a true Lord?!" Polina yells... Lords? Is there some kinda hierarchy thing going on? She then yelled her own command and all three flew at me. In the blink of an eye, the shadow of a scarlet scythe is hooking through the air from behind me, an illusionary spear is aimed at my neck, and a massive axe is swinging down from high above my head.

I spin midair, head facing downwards now, and disengage Micro Flight. Switching my method of air travel to air-steps by use of Flowing Art for better instantaneous bursts of speed. My first step against solidified space pushed me downwards and into a wide arc that positioned me near the axe wielding small person—who is still mid swing. My Guandao shifted into its place in my hand and I did a Slash-Slash, one very fast attack done by slashing while mid-slashing.

The person spinned making use of their momentum and the flat of their axe to parry my attack, even then, the force of my slash was still strong enough to send them flying off. Chaining Slash-Stab, my Guandao is swinging down towards the empty air before me–Blink! And bisected the same enemy before my previous hit's momentum had the time to peter out.

"What the—" The buff spear wielder suddenly finds himself face to face with a beam of intense fire, his words were cut short as he bend at an awkward angle to evade the shot. I can Sense Polina tsk while her method of flight jets her in my direction; the movements of her lips were obvious enough.

With Invaseviction canceled, I have one free thought. So that she now have a dome of frigid wind and lighting strikes hovering over her person is purely her own doing; VLoS! Blink. Barely having regained their balance I appear beside a buff-y the Vampire to give him a taste of his own medicine; Slash-Stab. My weapon was spun around me very quickly with the momentum of a slash before being stabbed violently into his heart.

I kick the limp body off of my blade… Making use of the counterforce to face a mindblown Polina. "You!? That easily…"

"It wasn't exactly easy, but I wouldn't say it was hard." I reply cockily. "So have you changed your mind about getting in my way?"

"That might be the better option, she admits," taking a brief moment to look around. "Those two were Lord Spawns, creatures that have surrendered themselves to a Vampire Lord in exchange for borrowed power. Lords who have had time to grow very powerful."

"Meaning you're not also some Lord Spawn?" I'm not one to miss the chance for free education about our new, more interesting reality.

She shakes her head, "no. It was either that or be an ordinary Vampire for them; though they had managed to evolve into a Mature Vampire very quickly, which proves their potential, and is the reason why they were offered the opportunity in the first place… As for me. Well, I had better options."

"Since you seem to be in the mood for talking. Maybe you can tell me about these stages of evolution thingy?" I inquire. Another part of my mind begins casting Twin helical Yin Yang Grenade, then, another Parallel Thought joins in as an auxiliary caster. The Spell forms unhindered and is hopefully unnoticed; as it is cast within a camouflaged sphere made out of my Swarm, the sphere itself is formed on my left arm. To my Mana Sense, the grenades manifest as one black and one white sphere that revolves around each other.

"Sure, first there is—"

I Blink and arrive before Polina, right beside her brandished Scythe. A very sharp spear and a savage hammer tore through the air where my head used to be. The sphere on my left palm withdraws right as I smash the Yin Yang Grenades on to her stomach—Blinking away the instant I feel it hit. An explosion of fire and thunder ravaged her bloody. I'm gonna save celebrating the fact that I can cast Siege level Spells for later. Exiting Subspace where the tunnel exit was made, I enter and close the entrance. Everyone had evacuated inside while we were fighting in the air. Time to book it!

I don't bother being subtle this time, opening wide tunnels in a straight line towards my tower, the others running along. So we made it in less than an hour. "I'll activate the Tower's Gate and we will arrive at Rumah.

I decided upon Rumah rather than QuadPeak, because one is in Pangea, while the other is foreign land which might even be some magically humongous creature. Currently Babushka Maria is wide awake, albeit still weakened, and is being piggy-back carried by Igor. She opens her mouth to say, "that is great, thank you."

Thank The System her, Edmon and several others can speak English, because the thought of learning their's totally flew off of my mind in wake of the nightly Vampire attack. Now that I have the thought to check, midnight has come to pass about four hours ago.

No better way to improve than combat situations… There were only a little more than a hundred people, so we had people enlarging the area and most others resting. Once the people calm down, we will depart though the Gate…

Gate available in: 38:06:18

Ah! its on cooldown… I did use it to arrive not six hours ago, more than 1.5 days to go.

"What am I supposed to see here?" Edmon asks, the various people near him are clearly as curious. So I had to painstalking explain through all the awkwardness. I noticed early at the beginning of our conversation that I could have simply bought a new LeyLink Gate, but decided that they will be better off in the long run if they get to face their fears now while the fear is still real. They need it, as our current world is hard on the weak.

"So these Siege Spells you speak about, you're sure they can eliminate those 3 Vampires?" Edmon asks me for the nth time, I gave them 250,000 Creds and told them about Eight Storms Lightning Dragon. Why that, because Lightning purifies, or that's how it usually is anyways. Besides, the Spell is simple enough to use and the damage caused will be massive regardless of caster competency. With that much Creds, they can buy about 2 main casters and about 18 or so auxiliary casters—which is about how many combatants there are, and still have a few left for supplies.

"Well," I approach the spot where important people sit and ask. We've been resting for the better part of two hours by now.

"Well what? State your questions properly child." Maria chided me like my grandmother ought to.

That made me pause for a brief moment. Giving someone I have yet to remember the name of the chance to say. "Rejoice, Sir Zane. She scolding you means you're now considered a part of our family."

"Oh. Thank you…" I reply with a smile. That means much less to me than it does to them, not exactly something I would rejoice about too. But something I am willing to keep silent about; let the misunderstanding stand uncorrected. So I elaborated on the question.

"Okay, so. There are 21 of us combat ready. Babushka and Edmon included." Their community's designated strategist explains, "we spent 82'kay for two main casters and 79,8'kay for 19 auxiliary casters."

First he pointed at Edmon and himself, then at the general direction of everyone else who are resting in smaller groups of families or close friends. "We're separating our auxiliary casters into two groups, one for each of us. This way, we can occupy two of the enemies."

"Our plan is for you to quickly finish one of them as fast as possible, then come to assist us." Edmon elaborates. "10 of ours and I will take Polina while the rest will attack the larger guy."

"You guys sure you can take two of them?"

""Yes"" "yep!" Various answers of confirmation was heard.

"Alrighty!" I'm not gonna deny their bravery. Pointing at the Rank 2 tower, "this can even out the group with the odd numbers and I'll join in on both casts."

"You can multicast?" the brains of their operation asks me, amazed.

"Yep!"

"How!?"

"Secre—incoming! They've entered the range of my Mana Sense!"

For a fraction of a second, I am sure the place was silent enough that we can hear a pin drop before assigned leaders started yelling and organizing the people… About 80ish non combatants are herded into my Mana Tower while the Siege casters separate into two groups and run off to take their designated position; 10 people stand near my Tower; this group will receive its assistance, while the other stand a little further away. I first Blink to the Tower Core and gave it the Spell in question before taking my spot in between both groups.

They're coming in from the tunnel we had previously come through, cautiously walking through the tight corridor and very meticulously checking every angle… hmm, small tight corridor, traps? Pretty sure I got a new spell that is just perfect for that, not to mention I get to test it in a real life situation. Two birds with one stone. Blink, ignoring the startled strategist, I say. "Hey, I may have another plan. Wanna hear them?"

—

"That's perfect!" Garald, formerly identified as Strategist, exclaimed. In my opinion, this is great at best; but it should suffice. All we did was spend what few minutes were left to create a tunnel that is about two meters wide and tall, filled with barely visible fake traps. Hide a tree in a forest, hide a trap among traps.

"What's perfect?" Polina asks as she makes her way towards us, stopping at the point where the tunnel surfaces are obviously tampered. "Oh, this is a little too obvious. Don't you think so?"

I shrug exaggeratedly. "Maybe, come and give it a check."

Blink. Coming out behind all three. I kick at the closest and larger person, in the direction of the other smaller individual. This brought them past the untampered tunnel into our new plan. I had been maintaining this Spell with 4 parallel minds; Tetracubastionism! It was not easy being left with one functioning mind after getting used to 5. Deed accomplished, I grin at Polina. "Know that once you're inside, there is no coming out."

Blink. She need not know that there is a duration of a mere 300 seconds. Now once again between the two groups. Garald and Edmon simultaneously begins their cast of Eight Storms Lighting Dragon, joined in turn by 11 auxiliary casters—myself included, twice. Followed by sending both Dragons into Tetracubastionism, its a rather tight fit in there.

Needless to say both Vampires are ravaged by lighting, bright red bloods are spilling out of their orifices. Weapons fall to the ground, both new cloaks are torned by the wind blades to reveal—"STOP THE SPELL" Babushka Maria yelled.
