Chapter 706: Provocation
” Even if we manage to kill this creature, we would be killed by Jayden. So running away is the only solution for now,” another member added.
“Wait, let’s first try to assess its strength. If our attacks have no effect on that creature, then we would all escape in different directions. We have to avenge our friend,” the vampire acting as the leader of the bunch spoke.
They all took out weapons which were made of the materials of the invaders, but the ones they had were much stronger than the ones on Earth.
‘Any strong invader had not attacked Earth yet, so they have gotten it from somewhere else. But the main thing is the strength of the invaders is increasing,’ Jayden thought, then he spoke to Emma:
“Emi look, Eve is about to fight.”
Hearing him, she finally raised her head and turned to look towards the big lion. She was seeing it for the first time, so Emma was surprised. Even though she still did not like Eve much, she was still a little excited to see such a big lion fight.
[A/N: Eve has no gender, so referring to her as a lion is fine too.]
“Wow, that big lion is… her?” Emma spoke with her eyes shining.
“Yes, just enjoy the show,” Jayden said and then absorbed the energy from the dead body of the vampire floating there.
“Attack!!” one of the coven members shouted, and all of them charged towards Eve while launching their strongest attacks.
*ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Eve released an extremely loud roar that threw back all the vampires in the air. Even their heads shook as they all let go of their weapons and almost fell unconscious, but soon they balanced their bodies and looked at Eve in horror.
There was just no way fifteen of them would be easily able to kill Eve. They might have succeeded since Eve’s current strength is a little less than the original Nemean Lion, but they didn’t know anything about this form of her and weren’t aware of her weaknesses.
“No way, we can’t defeat that thing,” all of the vampires were frightened. Except for a few of them, most of the vampires turned around and began to flee, and that was their biggest mistake.
Jayden had already surrounded the entire place with a shield, making it impossible for any of them to leave. As they flew in different directions at full speed, all of them smashed into the shield and got injured, though that was the least of their worries.
“Let us out or the entire Coven will become your enemy,” the leader shouted in desperation as they all moved away from Eve.
“Isn’t this a bit too late for that? I mean we are already at the point where we are ready to cut each other’s heads off. Anyway, just let her bite you a couple of times; it won’t hurt.”
Jayden said dismissively, though he was sure if they all attacked Eve with perfect teamwork, then even she would have a hard time fighting against them.
“We don’t have any other choice. If we want to get out of here alive, then we have no choice but to kill both of them. Let’s do it.”
“Right, if we all attack it, then I’m sure we can kill it after some time.”
Soon, they all agreed to fight Eve. Not that they had a choice; they took back their weapons and decided to go all out from the very beginning. They slowly began to surround Eve and decided to work based on some strategy.
But only fourteen vampires were surrounding Eve. One of them stood behind and just watched. It seemed he had a plan of his own. Instead of targeting Eve, he stared at Jayden and then observed the shield.
‘I don’t need to fight these two monsters to get out of this place like all these idiots. Even though this shield is made of energy, it is being controlled by mental energy. So if I can somehow disrupt the mental state of Jayden for even a second, then at least I would be able to escape from this place.
And I know exactly how I can do that; the best way to go at it is anger,’ the coven member thought. Even though this plan had high risk, this was the only way that he could get out.
Eve looked around at all the vampires, then she pounced towards one of them while waving her claws towards him. In reality, the rest of the men attacked her from all sides.
Jayden had his eyes fixed on the fight. He was ready to intervene if Eve was about to get hurt, but penetrating her skin is not going to be easy.
The Nemean lion was famous for its defense and strength. As their weapons landed on her body, they were all bounced back, leaving barely any mark.
And Eve tore away half of the body of a vampire, though he was able to survive. This fight was going to take some time, so Jayden turned his gaze towards the last vampire who kept staring at him.
“So you choose me as your opponent? Guess I will take you out then,” Jayden spoke, but before he could attack, the vampire hastily spoke:
“No, I have something to speak first.”
He was drenched in sweat and was afraid that Jayden might actually attack him. He was standing close to the shield so he could get out of there instantly.
“Alright, while they are fighting, you can speak,” Jayden spoke and didn’t make any move.
‘Step 1 complete. Now the main thing,’ the coven vampire thought, then he began to speak:
“You know why those goblin brothers came here, right? I am sure you know they were here to find brides for themselves, and the one with the most beautiful wife would become the next king.
But to get that position, they need to make a big sacrifice and offer that woman to their father, the king. Anyway, judging from your expression, I’m sure you already know about it all.
The last time the Coven attacked your company building, we saw an extremely beautiful woman, the one with the white hair. Her name is… hmm, oh right, Alice, right? We were the ones who informed Gorrum and his father about your wives.
Even if the first prince had died, next time, more and stronger goblins will return, and at that time they would take all your wives away, and then the goblins would be sharing all your women among themselves. All of your family will turn into something very, very dirty, even that little girl…”
This vampire was right that if he angered Jayden, then there might occur a disruption in the shield, and he really did succeed in angering Jayden with his words, to a very high level actually.
But he got one thing wrong. His calculation failed since he was not fast enough to get out of the shield before Jayden could attack him, and he was not strong enough to take even a single full-power punch from Jayden.
