Chapter 548 Fighting off multiple devourers

548 Fighting off multiple devourers

It was a short exchange that was enough to astound all the devourers. @@@@

"You are a curious vampire." Said one of them, visibly amazed.

"Oh? Haven't you seen vampires like me before?"

"You don't fight like a vampire. Maybe you're the crazy guy with the spear? That guy may be the only one who uses kicks and such; besides, he's the only one who would dare to fight without vampiric power against us."

"No, he's not the spear guy. I saw him once, and he didn't look like him. Besides, the spear guy doesn't fight without his spear."

"Right..."

"So a battle-worthy vampire showed up? He's fighting hand to hand without vampiric power and still manages to match or surpass our natural abilities."

"Maybe..."

Matthew frowned quickly. "Can you guys stop talking shit and fight? I don't give a shit if this is the first time you've seen someone like me. I came here to kill beasts and devourers; I didn't come here to play."

The devourers frowned at being interrupted like that. "Tsk, how rude. You certainly are a vampire." Complained one of them.

They all agreed with him, so they raised their weapons.

"It's curious to see a different vampire, so I hope you're worthy of our words towards you. Give us an interesting battle."

Matthew sneered. "I just hope you guys can take, at least, 10 hits. Those beasts back there held up to 20; the last one held up to hundreds; how much will you guys hold up?" He beckoned them with his fingers to come closer.

Once again, another of the physical attack devourers arrived in front of Matthew to strike him, and a bloody battle ensued, during which bones creaked and broke.

Not even a finger!

He had recently been fighting strong beasts, which held up quite well, so he had been fighting for 1 hour straight and still had stamina. That made no sense in the minds of both devourers.

The leader, the most powerful and capable of them all, was already exhausted. His arms ached, and he could barely stand. Not even by activating his body skills could he beat off a finger from the man in front of him. The most he did was break a few bones, which meant nothing right now.

Matthew smiled.

"I wonder the same thing. Your race is strange. Not only can they have abilities and magics, but they're also adamant as a rock. What's the secret? Where do you guys come from?"

"Hmph, even if I'm dying, a stupid vampire will never get information out of me."

"Hehe, I figured."

After that small talk, the devourer glared at Matthew. He suddenly stomped the ground, creating a small earthquake and kicking up a pile of dust. Then he jumped forward.

"Attack with everything you've got; don't mind hitting me!" With that shout, he reached to Matthew's side and tried to grab him from behind.

From the outside, the devouring mage growled and used his last vestiges of mana to cast his fire magic: "Corporeal Explosion!" A huge fire magic, compressed to the size of a fist, flew out at high speed, followed by a fireball, and burrowed through that pile of dust until it suddenly exploded.

The devourer did not rest and continued to attack with his fireballs and different explosions to make his first magic more effective. The explosions raised even more smoke, but suddenly, all the magic stopped exploding.

Within those explosions, Matthew raised both hands. One hand formed a grip on the neck of the devourer in front of him, and the other created a small wall of strange energy.

At first, the fireballs and other external attacks hit there, but little by little, he began to hold them back, as if they had stopped in time.

The devourer looked at this in shock.

"You... Who the hell are you?"
