The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 156: "Reporting, Alright"

After a report that came in through one of Queen Beetle's subordinates reached Azalea, she leaped off the balcony.

The report stated that individuals had emerged alive from a residence where four low-level vampires were hiding, in a short period. Or so it seemed.

The details were unclear to Blanc. Deas translated for her.

"If they emerged alive in a short time, it means they defeated the four low-level vampires in a short time. Judging from other intruders, the odds in a battle against the same number of low-level vampires would be even. If they managed to overcome that with fewer forces in a short time, they undoubtedly possess a certain level of combat power. Moreover, there were no noticeable injuries or signs of exhaustion on those people. If that's the case, caution is necessary", Deas explained.

With Deas saying so, there was no choice but to send someone to confirm for caution.

Deas is officially under Blancright now, but he is only staying at Blanc's place thanks to Rare's favor. Rare has instructed him to prioritize Blanc, but it doesn't mean Deas always follows Blanc's orders. If anything, his top priority is Blanc's safety, and he would prioritize his judgment over Blanc's when it comes to matters related to it.

The same can be said for Weiss.

Although they come from different organizations, their situation is similar.

"It's as Deas-sama says, indeed. If I may add, if they seem to have high combat power, we should not hesitate to attack decisively from the start to cut them off quickly. If they are confident in their skills, they might come again. Even if they ask for accurate combat power information, it is not something we absolutely must do without any information at all", Weiss continued Deas' words, and Deas nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Azalea decided to go herself.

Azalea, with her ability, can easily seal the deal by casting magic from above, and in the worst case, she can transform into a giant. Becoming a giant would result in losing magical power, but also in gaining significant bonuses in defense and LP. Relying on that, she can endure and send reinforcements.

If Azalea were to lose against such an enemy, Deas is probably the only one who could handle it somehow.

The people in front of Azalea seemed to have taken quite a bit of damage from her unleashed [Lightning Shower].

Azalea, Magenta and Carmine are built with a focus on magical attacks, according to the policy of their lord, Blanc. This seems to work particularly well against individuals who have not taken any precautions to fight against magic.

While Azalea intended to turn them into ashes with a single blow, not only did they maintain their original form, but it seems that two of them managed to survive. They possess abilities that are entirely different from those Azalea has encountered so far. However, Azalea's pride didn't allow her to show surprise openly.

"It seems like you're not a big deal. This much with just one shot?"

Upon closer inspection, the man's full-body armor showed no signs of soot. This implies that Azalea's magic passed through the armor, dealing damage internally, and only managed to cause harm because it ignored the armor's defense.

If that's the case, attacks other than Thunder Magic may be less effective, as they could be deflected by the armor. The other man standing alone seems to be wearing armor with scales of metal attached to it, but it, too, has suffered no damage. If that metal is the same as the one on the first man, caution is needed when attacking the second man.

Lightning Shower is in cooldown. It might be enough to defeat them if used continuously, but it cannot be cast consecutively. Trying another spell would only delay the cooldown of Lightning Shower if its effect is weak.
