Mysteries

"How the hell were they able to kill so many of us in an instant!" Darius roared pointing bias gun and sword at the enemy. He understood why the orcs were against them but why would the humans attack them? They were here to hunt monsters and gather some food supplies and then our of nowhere the humans and the orcs ambushed them, Darius and Bryon were some of the elite vampires and hence the humans aren't able to kill them but the rest of their party was immediately slaughtered, their bodies were still lying around them. The humans realised they weren't able to kill them and thus were now planning to capture them, most probably to dissect them and know their secrets.

"How the hell am I supposed to know!" Bryon shouted back at Darius, "If only these humans aren't wearing the mecha suits the fight would've been over by now." The mecha suits indeed made it very difficult for them to destroy the humans, even their special bullets were getting deflected by the mecha, only their swords were effective at them but then their was another issue. The orcs! They didn't allow the vampires to get close to the mechas and if they try to engage the orcs, the humans open fired on them even though the human weapons weren't able to kill them, they still hurt like hell! They were somehow managing to evade capture for now but it was only a matter of time before they would get captured.

"Where is our backup! we informed them long ago." Darius shouted yet again. He was referring to the telepathic message he had sent to the castle requesting backup but so far no one appeared to help them. He looked up the sun was right over their heads, but they were actually grateful to the forest as most of the sun rays weren't able to penetrate the canopy.

"Looks like we'll have to use our abilities." Bryon said and looked at Darius who nodded as well, but right when they were about to attack the enemies a voice echoed in their heads.

"As soon as a minotaur appears in front if you, immediately fall back don't stay within 10 meters range from where you are."

Both vampires recognised the voice, after all it belonged to the Countess herself! And just as their countess told, as soon as the telepathic message ended a minotaur appeared in front of them and they ran off deeper into the forest, and waited for further instructions.

FEW MOMENTS AGO

''They are just too many,'' Zeroll thought referring to the strength of the enemies, "if it wasn't for the vampires I'd have jumped in and killed them all one after another, but if I do so now, the vampires might get caught up in it as well..."

He looked at Nissa who was clearly cursing the humans under her breath and then it hit him.

"Nissa you know telepathy right?"

"Yeah... what do you want me to do then?"

"Just tell your men to retreat when the see a minotaur in front of them. Tell them to get at least 10 metres away from the Minotaur."

"Okay but what are you planning to do?" She asked.

"Just wait and watch."

Zeroll then waited patiently as Nissa closed her eyes and informed the vampires about the plan. Once it was done he summoned two warpfaces and ordered one of them to move and position itself near the enemy, which wasn't a tough job as the were shadows everywhere, thanks to the trees. When it was all done, he then summoned Weonan and instructed him about what he had to do, to which the minotaur simply nodded and entered a portal created by the second warpface and reappearing in front of the enemies a moment later. The Minotaur then activated his skill and a large black circle appeared at his feet, the enemies were still confused from the appearance of a minotaur in front of them, and didn't pay much attention to the fact that the circle wasn't part any ordinary skill either and failed to notice the hand-like tendrils coming out of the circle. By the time they realised it was already too late.

"This thing is grabbing onto me!"

"Shoot them!"

"Nothing's happening."

The forest was soon filled with screams of both orcs and humans as they were slowly pulled into the endless void. A system message popped up.

********************

MINOTAUR DEITY: WEONAN IS NOW IN AN ENRAGED STATE.

ALL PHYSICAL ABILITIES : +50%

HEALING EFFECTS BOOSTED : +25%

DUE TO CONSUMPTION OF LARGE AMOUNT OF ORCS: ORC SLAYER ABILITIES UNLOCKED!

Physical attack +10%

Physical defense +4%

********************

The ravage skill was indeed very useful. But what would the Minotaur kill now? The enemies are already gone. The skill even absorbed the trees in the surrounding area and the sun was finally able to penetrate the canopy of the forest.

•Your summon: Weonan have slain 150 orcs•

•Your summon: Weonan have slain 100 humans•

• 950 exp points gained •

• EXP deducted since the summon killed monters •

•Current EXP : 11450/12000•

Zeroll turned to look at the spot the humans and orcs were proudly standing a moment ago, to his surprise the humans who were inside the mecha were not effected by the skill and were safe.

********************

RAVAGE skill can only effect the organic beings not inanimate objects.

********************

Well that solved the problem. The Minotaur can now go berserk on the poor humans but according to the system if my summons kill the enemy, the amount of experience I'll receive with be reduced. we can't have that now can we. Zeroll thought, taking out the blades of calamity and walked into the battle field.

********************

"Is that a human with a minotaur?"

"Who cares! They killed our comrades! Open fire!"

But it was all in vain. The Minotaur had thick skin and the bullets weren't able to penetrate and cause any damage to it while an armour appeared out of thin air and was covering the human.

"Damn it we can't do anything!" A soldier shouted.

"Retreat now!" Another soldier ordered the rest. They turned around and realised they were completely surrounded by various types of monsters. The human then walked towards the Minotaur handing him a sword and charged at the soldiers.

"This was the last thing gamma team saw before their video feed were destroyed. They are most probably dead." A woman wearing black suit said as the lights in the board room were switched on. She was presenting this information to the high ranking military officials as well as the heads of the secret agencies that were working all around the globe.

"At least we now know about the existence of these vampires." Said a man wearing a green military dress, half a dozen medals dangling on his chest.

"We would've achieved more if it wasn't for that mysterious human." Said another military official. "We spent so much money and resources to develop a device to help us control the Orcs and that person was effortlessly commanding such a huge force of monsters!"

"Just who is that guy!" A man wearing a black combat suit shouted slamming his hands on the table. He was pissed, not because his plan failed but because of all the soldiers, money and resources were wasted on this mission to acquire more powerful monsters to experiment on.

"Calm down, James." A man spoke up and everyone's attention was now on this man, "Alisha, find whatever you can about this mysterious guy, you have a day to do it."

"Yes sir!" The woman from before replied saluting the man. Others followed her queue.

The man then got up and left the room.
