Chapter 167: Chapter 167: The Opportunity Has Come!
Aster Grant’s suspicion was quickly confirmed.
As the team neared the Holy City, a large number of Blood Clan members suddenly appeared, surrounding them completely.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s expressions changed slightly.
They did not expect these Blood Clan members to prepare in advance!
But at this point...
Retreat was not an option!
"Prepare for battle!"
With the order from the Queen of the Holy See, all the humans present were on high alert.
And at the forefront, Lilith’s gaze was locked onto those Vampire Princes.
These Vampire Princes were the fuse for the entire rebellion of The Crimson See.
Under Lilith’s scarlet gaze, several princes instinctively averted their eyes.
Even after so many days, Lilith’s power still made them tremble instinctively.
But soon, they recalled their agreement with the Demon God and their taut nerves relaxed again.
As long as Lilith was held up by that Demon God, the other humans...
Were not worth fearing!
Moreover, they had five Monarch Peak level Vampire Princes and nearly twenty Monarch Level Blood Clan members.
And the humans?
Only two Monarch Peak level beings and six or seven Monarch Level experts.
With such a disparity...
How could they possibly lose?
At this moment.
Stryker looked at the Blood Clan ahead, his expression equally heavy.
The situation was very unfavorable now!
The original plan was to catch the Holy City off guard with a surprise attack, but unexpectedly...
The Blood Clan gathered so quickly!
In this short period, so many Monarch Level Blood Clan members had assembled.
Today’s plan was difficult to succeed!
Thinking of this, he subtly moved closer to Aster Grant, lowering his voice:
"If anything changes later, you retreat immediately, I’ll cover you."
If The Crimson See’s action failed this time...
Then it would surely affect the formation of the remaining two Divine Patterns for humanity!
He must stay!
But Aster Grant must not!
Aster Grant was taken aback, about to speak when Stryker sternly interrupted:
"That’s an order!"
Hearing this, Aster Grant instantly gave up rebelling.
After all, only he knew that Lilith could restore her power through Divine Pattern blood.
It was understandable for Stryker to act like this now!
Aster Grant’s gaze swept over the Blood Clan that had formed a circle of encirclement.
The current situation was out of control, and if Lilith wanted to take command, she had to absorb his blood to regain her strength.
But Lilith seemed to have no such intention now!
Lilith squinted her scarlet eyes, observing the dense Blood Clan army before her.
Her current strength was only at Monarch Tier One, and even if she exerted all her power, she could at most hold back one Monarch Peak level.
While the Blood Clan had five Monarch Peaks!
What worried her more...
Was a Demon God Level Monarch Peak member of the Demon Clan lurking in the shadows, watching intently.
Although she escaped last time with the help of her body reconstructed by the Divine Pattern, she knew very well...
The other side wouldn’t let her off easily.
Given that Demon God’s cunning, he could definitely guess she would return to the Holy City.
And indeed, things were just as Lilith thought.
In the shadows at the edge of the battlefield, The Deceiver Demon God gazed greedily at the figure of the silver-haired girl.
His pale fingers unconsciously caressed his chin, and dangerous light flickered in his dark Demon Eyes:
"I’ve finally been waiting for you, my dear Lord Blood Progenitor..."
"Soon...the Divine Pattern will be mine."
The Demon God greedily licked his sharp fangs, his gaze casually sweeping over the human camp.
As long as the Blood Clan kept the others occupied, he could focus on dealing with Lilith.
This time he would definitely not let this "Lord Blood Progenitor" escape!
However...
When his gaze swept over Aster Grant, his pupils suddenly contracted.
This is...?!
His gaze locked onto Aster Grant’s forehead.
When he first discovered Lilith’s team, he only glanced from afar.
And now, during this confrontation, he observed...
A second Divine Pattern was unexpectedly imprinted on the forehead of that young human!
Heavenly aids me!
His eyes suddenly gleamed, and even his breathing became heavy.
There are two Divine Patterns here!
One within the Blood Progenitor and the other on this mere Commander Tier Two human!
Compared to dealing with the battle-seasoned Blood Progenitor, killing this weak human was simply effortless.
As long as he obtained the Divine Pattern...
Madness gleamed in the depths of the Demon God’s pitch-black eyes.
By then, he would directly break through to Totem Level.
Relying on Totem Level power, he could easily sweep the battlefield.
By then, gaining the second Divine Pattern...
His strength would further increase!
At that moment, The Deceiver Demon God could already imagine his future days of calling the shots after becoming a Totem Level Demon Clan.
But soon, he suppressed the surging Demonic Qi, forcing himself to calm down.
The most crucial step now was to kill that human.
Currently, too many Monarch Level experts surrounded that human, making it easy for him to mess up.
But once the battle began...
That human would inevitably be isolated!
By then, with his strength, a single strike would be enough to kill!
At this point.
The Blood Clan on the battlefield couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Kill these humans!"
"Take down the Blood Progenitor!"
All Monarch Level Blood Clan gathered here were rebels who long held grievances against Lilith’s rule.
Seeing victory at hand, all the Blood Clan went into a frenzy.
Accompanied by deafening roars, all the Blood Clan charged toward Aster Grant and others.
The Queen of the Holy See dared not be careless, immediately commanding loudly:
"Summon all Beasts! Counterattack!"
Since Beast Tamers could contract multiple Beasts, and all present were top of their class Beast Tamers.
With the help of multiple Monarch Level Beasts, the human side surprisingly withstood the Blood Clan’s assault.
Stryker and the Queen of the Holy See confronted the five Vampire Princes.
They each summoned their four Beasts, totaling eight Beasts.
Though not all Beasts were Monarch Peak, using eight Beasts and their strength...
They barely managed to withstand the five Monarch Peak Vampire Princes!
However, Aster Grant could sense they couldn’t hold out for long.
While holding for a moment wasn’t much of a problem, as time passed, they would surely be overwhelmed.
Lilith also felt this at this moment.
She understood she couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Immortal Blood Body!"
A surge of raging blood energy instantly enveloped Lilith, her youthful appearance fading away.
A scarlet-as-blood long dress wrapped around her body, her figure stretching tall and imposing.
The Scarlet Queen descended on the battlefield, her aura sweeping through the scene.
As her attribute enhancement completed, she immediately confronted a Monarch Peak Vampire Prince.
By taking on one Monarch Peak, Stryker and the Queen of the Holy See felt much less pressure!
However...
She still maintained a trace of caution, always on guard against that Demon Clan’s move.
After all, that Demon Clan was the greatest threat!
In the shadows, The Deceiver Demon God, seeing Lilith finally leave Aster Grant’s side, revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
The opportunity had arrived!
The Divine Pattern would soon be his!
