This adventurer is overly righteous.

Three units of magic power is the limit that Kroa's sword can withstand; any excess will damage the sword.

The charged slash is the most powerful move that Kroa has mastered. After realizing that the enemy was right next to him, Kroa began to charge up.

The immense, almost boiling, magical power caused the sword to radiate a divine light, a light that was both grand and warm. However, for evil creatures like vampires, being exposed to this light was as painful as being splashed with sulfuric acid.

"sieve"

The longsword sliced ​​through the air, and the vampire couldn't dodge in time. His wand was severed by Kroya, and his right arm, along with a small part of his head, was cut off and turned to ashes by Kroya's magic.

But that's not all. Although Adrian was the first vampire that Kroya had met since coming to this world, Kroya actually had a very deep understanding of vampires. The church had detailed records of these evil creatures, which Kroya had memorized.

He knew that what was fatal to humans could not kill the tenacious vampire.

"reptile!"

Adrian's body transformed into countless bats that scattered and fled, before regrouping a short distance away. The wound left by Kroya was still there. Vampires have the ability to heal themselves, but because of Kroya's magic attached to the wound, this magic that restrained him completely suppressed the healing of the wound.

The intense pain almost rendered Adrian speechless. "Priest! The other party is a despicable priest! Damn it, how could a priest have sneaked in!"

"Even if you were a priest, I could still kill you."

Adrian's face became extremely ferocious, his fangs protruded, and black, viscous liquid oozed from his wounds.

He began to cast spells, but the speed was much slower than before.

In order for a magician to cast a spell, he needs to enter a state of high concentration.

However, Adrian was burning with rage and filled with fear and dread of Kroya. The pain from his wounds was also constantly bothering him. Moreover, the wand he used to assist him in casting spells had been cut off by Kroya. With all these factors combined, Adrian's spellcasting speed was far slower than before.

  

That's enough. Getting rid of this crawler is enough!

"arrow!"

Adrian's remaining pupils suddenly contracted. Kroya took a short bow from his back and fired a sharp arrow imbued with a large amount of magic power. Adrian had to stop casting the spell and dodge to the side.

wrong...

Adrian witnessed the arrow, which had been flying straight, change direction in mid-air and hurtle towards him again.

This is an arrow with tracking capabilities!

The arrow faithfully pierced Adrian's body, causing a surge of magic to explode within him, blasting a hole through his waist and abdomen, creating a gaping wound that sprayed out in all directions with the viscous black fluid of a vampire.

"Is this magic?"

Adrian kept retreating until a stench reached him from behind. He stood about two meters away from the goblin cesspool, where the stench was overwhelming. He tried to change direction to distance himself from Kroya, but another arrow immediately flew towards him.

There were no props used to assist in casting the spell, and there was no incantation process...

Adrian believed that when using magic, one could make arrows automatically track the enemy like Kroya, but Kroya did not show any of the preparations that should be made before casting a spell.

He simply drew his bow, paused for less than a second, and then shot the arrow—this time Adrian saw it clearly; that's exactly what the guy did.

In that brief moment, the opponent cast a spell?!

Even divine spells known for their extremely fast casting speed and mastered only by priests might not be able to be cast so quickly. Moreover, Adrian could guarantee that the spells used by the other party were not the divine spells of the church.

Could the opponent be an old monster capable of casting spells at high speed without chanting?

No, how could someone be so young...?

The released magic produced light, and in the light, Adrian could see the intruder's figure. The guy's eyes were full of decisiveness and determination, and more importantly, he was young and handsome. This guy could not be more than twenty-five years old.

This is also a magical genius!

Adrian's thoughts were in turmoil, but as a mage, he knew that he needed to remain calm, especially in critical moments. He completed the spell, and a blood-red barrier appeared in front of him, blocking Kroya's attack and giving him the opportunity to unleash offensive magic.

Given the power of the enemy's arrows, this blood-red barrier is sufficient.

Croa naturally noticed this as well.

The most important thing in fighting a mage is to keep attacking and not give the opponent any chance to cast spells.

If Adrian were an ordinary human mage, he would have been killed by Kroya many times over. Unfortunately, vampires have much stronger vitality than humans and are more forgiving of mistakes.

The fact that the opponent can now use defensive magic means the scales of victory are tipping in their favor...

However, Croa also noticed something else—there seemed to be some controversy surrounding Adrian's position.

So Croa drew his bow again and fired two arrows at once, which flew toward Adrian.

"He can actually shoot two at the same time?" Adrian felt increasingly that he was facing a really tough opponent. He had mistakenly regarded the other party as a small spy with no fighting ability, like the goblin Logan. However, this guy was not a disgusting reptile. He was a lurking hunter. If he had known earlier, he would have turned the whole cave upside down and found him in advance.

If the ceremony is disrupted by the other party, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"It should be able to block it." Adrian judged that the magic he used should be able to block this attack, so he turned his attention to preparing an offensive spell that could kill his opponent in one move.

However, to Adrian's surprise, the two arrows did not hit him.

Instead, they rushed towards his feet and his head respectively.

The arrow exploded, shattering the rocks. Adrian's body began to tilt backward, while the massive rock above him wobbled and fell from the sky.

It's alright, the defensive magic can still hold. We just need to focus on preparing the offensive magic; it's almost done...

wrong!

A strong stench assaulted Adrian's nostrils, its immense force halting his spellcasting, and he realized the problem at the same time.

Behind him was a huge latrine used to collect the excrement of about three hundred goblins.

"No!"

The falling rocks slammed the proud and fastidious vampire into the cesspool.

Kroya ran quickly to Logan's cell, cut through the iron bars with his sword, and rescued Logan.

"Go get the map," Kroya instructed Logan. Only Logan knew the location of the vampire's room and where the map was placed. At the same time, Kroya also kept an eye on the activity in the cesspool.
