Chapter 390: Chapter 133: A Great Victory! Lynch’s Great Gains

"Trying to run?"

The slightly tattered bat-like wings on Xuan Yi’s back beat once, and its massive body shot forward like a black meteor, diving toward the leader of the Iron Fang Battle Group.

Wherever it passed, the Blue Scarf Alliance Army Soldiers who tried to block it were sent flying like straw dolls, their lines breaking effortlessly.

"Oh, Daddy~~~ wait for me! Tee hee hee~~"

Upon seeing this, a petite figure in a gothic black dress immediately gave chase. It was the little Vampire, Esther.

Her movements were ethereal as she elegantly weaved through the battlefield like a fluttering black butterfly.

While others couldn’t recognize Lynch’s Lifebound Profound Corpse, she knew exactly what it was. She could feel the aura of the soul within that body—it was her dad’s.

’Charging into battle with Dad... I couldn’t be happier!’

"Hee hee, eee~~"

Esther let out a bell-like laugh, her eyes growing increasingly crimson and fervent. Sharp fangs glinted at the corners of her lips.

"Protect the commander~~"

"Stop that monster~"

The Personal Guard of the Iron Fang Battle Group’s leader roared and charged forward, a whirlwind of flashing blades and flaring battle auras, trying to protect their commander.

They were all Tier One and Tier Two elites, each capable of fighting ten ordinary Soldiers on a normal day. However, before the Tier Five Xuan Yi and Esther, they were as if made of paper.

"BANG!"

Xuan Yi threw a punch with its massive fist. A Tier Two member of the Personal Guard, along with his shield, was smashed into a bloody pulp.

Esther’s figure flashed, moving through the crowd like a phantom. Wherever she passed, two bloody holes would appear on the necks of the Personal Guard, who were instantly drained into withered corpses before falling to the ground with their eyes wide in horror.

"AHHH~~!"

"Monsters! They’re both monsters!"

In just a few breaths, the defensive line formed by dozens of elite Personal Guards was completely torn apart by Xuan Yi and Esther.

Their morale collapsed and they scattered in a rout, leaving the "father-daughter" duo to face the leader of the Iron Fang Battle Group directly.

"Damn it~"

The Iron Fang leader’s face was deathly pale, but he was a Tier Five expert, after all. Cornered, his latent ferocity erupted.

With a furious roar, he unleashed his battle aura to its absolute limit, swinging his great axe at Xuan Yi with enough force to split mountains.

"Frenzied Blood Axe!"

"CLANG~!!"

Xuan Yi neither dodged nor evaded, simply catching the axe blade with its giant, black-scaled claw. The collision of blade and scales produced a piercing screech of metal on metal.

The leader of the Iron Fang Battle Group felt a massive shockwave travel up the axe. The webbing of his hand split open, and blood began to flow freely.

"How is this possible..."

Before he could even process his shock, Esther was on him like a shadow he couldn’t shake.

"Mister, your blood smells so good~~ Hee hee hee~~ Eee~~"

Esther smiled sweetly, but her body moved like a phantom, instantly circling behind the Iron Fang leader as her sharp claws slashed toward the nape of his neck.

It was hard to say whether her intelligence and maturity had improved after reaching Tier Five, or if it was because Lynch had recently thrown her and Dragon Flame into the academy in Lakefront Town to start their studies. In any case, her speech had become much more articulate.

Unlike before, when she could only manage giggles and coos.

"Get off!"

Her laughter made the Iron Fang leader’s hair stand on end. He let out a furious shout, and his battle aura erupted, blasting away both Esther’s sharp claws and the giant claw gripping his axe.

But in that brief moment of distraction, Xuan Yi’s other giant palm was already slapping down on his head.

"BOOM!"

The Iron Fang leader hastily raised his axe to block, but the immense force smashed him down to one knee, cracking the very ground beneath him.

Before he could get back on his feet, Esther pounced again, this time sinking her teeth directly into his shoulder.

"AGH~!!"

The intense pain ripped a blood-curdling scream from the Iron Fang leader’s throat.

He could feel his vital essence and stamina draining away at an alarming rate. The sensation made his pupils constrict in utter panic.

Xuan Yi seized the opportunity, swiped its giant claw to send the great axe flying from his hand, and then slapped him flat on the ground.

"THUD!"

The Iron Fang leader slammed heavily onto the ground. Before he could even try to get up, Esther had swooped down again, straddling his chest and pressing her sharp fangs against his throat.

"Don’t~ Don’t kill me... I can surrender... I can..."

"GULP~~ GULP~~"

Esther gave him no chance to beg for mercy. Her fangs pierced his throat, and she began to drink deeply.

Soon, the whites of the Iron Fang leader’s eyes were showing, and his body began to convulse. After little more than a dozen seconds, he was drained into a withered corpse.

"*Buuurp~*"

Esther let out a satisfied burp, her little face flushed red.

She had truly eaten and drunk her fill these past few days. The excess energy circulated within her body, stored away as nourishment for her growth.

And with the Iron Fang leader’s death, the scales of the entire battle tipped decisively.

The goblin Jinke had, at some point, climbed onto an airship. Cupping a brass horn to his mouth, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Black Thorn is dead, and the Iron Fang leader is dead! Run, brothers, run~!!"

"Both leaders are dead! Run for your lives!"

The news spread through the alliance army like a plague.

"What? The Battle Group Leader is dead?"

"It’s over! It’s all over!"

"Run~~!"

The entire Blue Scarf Alliance Army was already in a panic from being attacked on two fronts. Now, with both of their leaders dead, they fell into complete chaos. The mid-level commanders lost all will to lead, and their organizational structure instantly collapsed to zero.

Having lost their commanders, the Soldiers began to instinctively flee for the gaps in the encirclement in a full-scale rout.

"Charge! Don’t let a single one escape!"

Seeing this, Leonard immediately ordered a full pursuit.
