"Aye, Master!"

  The Blood Prison was the first dark magic control skill that Tia had unlocked, an exclusive ability of vampires. Its effects were as follows: It could immobilize the enemy for three seconds. Moreover, if Tia continuously infused it with her own blood, the Blood Prison could maintain the immobilization state indefinitely.

  This immobilization could only prevent the enemy from moving and block charge - type skills below the second rank.(Of course, the power of the immobilization would increase as the character's rank advanced.) However, it could not stop the enemy from using other skills or launching ranged or melee attacks.

  Meanwhile, Bob, who had been running all this time, rushed up to Kenley and Tia. With a deft roll, he evaded them and then hurled a vial of potion at their feet.

  Damn that decoy potion.

  Kenley's eyes turned cold. This level - 20 thief was truly courting death. For a class with low health and defense to recklessly use a decoy potion! He would soon teach this fellow a lesson.

  Kenley wasted no time. As he leaped high into the air, he landed squarely on the back of the elite Demonic Mole.

  "Tia! Blood Prison!"

  "Aye, Master!" Tia's face flushed with effort. With a flick of her fingertip, she sliced open her palm, and a stream of blood gushed forth.

  The blood spread rapidly across the face of the elite Demonic Mole, forming a huge net that ensnared the entire monster in an instant!

  The elite Demonic Mole let out a furious roar. Its enraged eyes locked onto Tia, and it slapped the Blood Prison with a massive paw.

  However, the Blood Prison was constructed by magic, and mere physical attacks could not even budge it.

  Seeing this, the elite Demonic Mole immediately prostrated itself on the ground, and a faint earth - yellow glow began to emanate from its body.

  "Tia! Watch your step! Activate the Magic Shield!" Kenley shouted a warning. He knew that the elite Demonic Mole was about to use the Earth Spikes skill. At the same time, he made a grasping motion in the air with one hand, and a dagger glinting with an eerie light materialized in his palm.

  It was the dagger coated with the venom of the Medusa!

  If not now, when? Although it was a one - time use item, this was precisely the moment for it to fulfill its true value!

  Taking advantage of the fact that the elite Demonic Mole had all its attention focused on Tia, Kenley thrust the dagger into the mole's back with a powerful strike!

  Kenley quickly retreated. Then, he witnessed a scene where the HP of the elite Demonic Mole began to plummet rapidly! Moreover, the mole's body began to emit a foul stench due to the potent venom, and the toxin took effect at an astonishing speed!

  The elite Demonic Mole had never expected that this human would be carrying the venom of a silver - ranked monster. Even though it was an elite - class monster, once it was poisoned by the venom of a silver - ranked creature, no matter how high its health was, there was no way to save it.

  The elite Demonic Mole was still unwilling to give up. At the last moment, it still unleashed the Earth Spikes.

  "Tia!" Kenley was worried that Tia might not be able to react in time to the elite Demonic Mole's dying counterattack, so he couldn't help but remind her again.

  "Mm!" Tia immediately leaped into the air and activated the Magic Shield again beneath her feet.

  However, how could a first - rank Magic Shield withstand the Earth Spikes of a level - 30 elite Demonic Mole? The moment it came into contact with the spikes, it shattered with a loud bang!

  The sharp Earth Spikes pierced through Tia's shoulder. Tia let out a muffled groan. Clearly, this attack had caused her great discomfort.

  Kenley took a glance and let out a sigh of relief. Tia's high growth potential was evident. Although the Magic Shield was only of the first rank, it had absorbed a considerable amount of magical damage. Coupled with Tia's own magical resistance, she had only lost 36 HP from this attack.

  "Are you okay?" Even though Tia seemed fine, Kenley still asked with concern.

  "It's all right, Master." Tia covered her shoulder and shook her head.

  Meanwhile, Kate and his companions in the distance stared at this scene in disbelief.

  How could it be? The entire confrontation had lasted less than ten seconds, and Kenley had already defeated a third - rank elite monster?

  "Isn't that the Medusa - venom - coated dagger I sold to the slave trader? How did it end up in your hands!" Kate instantly recognized the origin of Kenley's dagger.

  "So, you're the one who sold this dagger." Kenley narrowed his eyes. This person definitely could not be allowed to live. Since he knew the origin of the dagger, he must be acquainted with the Slave Trader Alliance. If he were to spread this information, it would surely bring endless trouble.

  Kenley calmly absorbed the experience points and, in one go, leveled up three times, reaching level 22, which was now roughly on par with his opponents' levels. He had also unlocked five second - rank warrior skills: Sword Intent (Passive: Increases hit rate, physical penetration, and attack power), Sword Crescent (Releases a half - moon sword qi), Warrior's Roar (Increases attack power and clears some negative status effects), Sun - chasing Sword Technique (Charges in a straight line up to 10 meters long, dealing damage to all enemies along the way), and Floating Pursuit (Double jump).

  Upon hearing Kenley's words, Kate's eyes lit up. So, it was indeed obtained from that group of slave traders. Could it be that Kenley had killed that group of traders?

  So, he couldn't help but say,"I was wondering why that unscrupulous merchant hadn't returned after waiting for so many days. It turns out that you killed him. I read in his letter that he had captured a vampire princess. I suppose it's the one in your possession?"

  "So what if it is?"

  "What else? From today on, this slave is mine. Now that you don't have the dagger anymore, you pose little threat to me. Let me remind you, it's five against two. Hand over that vampire slave obediently. I have a Slave Transfer Contract. If you cooperate, I can spare your life." As he spoke, he gave a subtle signal to the other four.

  The group surrounded them with sinister grins and flaunted their weapons right in front of Kenley.

  "You're dreaming!" Kenley's gaze sharpened. He instantly activated the Charge skill and rushed towards the priest!

  The most foolish mistake the opponent had made was using the priest, an important back - line class, as a part of the encirclement against him. Kenley would not let such a golden opportunity slip by. He would strike while the iron was hot!

  "Blunt Strike!"

  The priest, Miller, was caught off guard. How could he have known that Kenley would be so decisive? Facing a force several times their own, Kenley charged at them directly!

  A wave of dizziness washed over him. The priest, who had been hit by the Blunt Strike, was immediately disoriented. However, his reaction was not slow. As a priest, a back - line class, he naturally had some means of self - protection.

  "Holy Light Shower!" Although in a state of dizziness, the character could still use the control - disarm skill. Holy Light Shower could heal both himself and his allies, and at the same time, it could remove most negative status effects, among which dizziness was one of them.

  "Courting death!" Kate's expression turned fierce. He had not expected Kenley to attack without hesitation.

  So, he waved his hand grandly and commanded,"Attack! Don't let him succeed!"
