Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2937

Cyril laughed confidently, believing he had Andrew cornered. As a top-tier, powerful member of the Ludendorff family, he was certain no young warrior could overcome a martial god's strength. He found the idea of struggling against a mere youth beneath him to be ridiculous.

Andrew suddenly charged downward into the ship's lower levels with Godslayer.

Cyril sneered, knowing the area was filled with vampire-infected monsters. He saw Andrew's move as a desperate, suicidal action. Yet, he was determined to pursue, having carefully planned this ambush to restore the Ludendorff family's honor.

The wind rushed past Andrew's ears as he ran through the dark passageway. Muffled roars echoed from the darkness ahead as vampire servants waited in ambush. He and Nyx had clearly fallen into a trap. Otherwise, Cyril would never have been waiting for him here.

He could not help but wonder if the Ludendorff family had supernatural insight.

A series of rapid thoughts raced through Andrew's mind. He developed a bold theory: the military message to Reginald was likely fabricated. Philip might not have sent any real information at all. This was all part of an elaborate enemy scheme, although the Holtrien military's communication channels were typically secure.

Guillermo's face flashed in Andrew's mind. He was almost certain this was his doing. After all, Guillermo had a previous history collaborating with Kaelen to ambush Reginald.

The plan became crystal clear: Guillermo sent false military orders, arranging for Reginald or his people to come to Angotur Harbor. The ultimate goal was to collude with the Ludendorff family and the vampire clan to strike a devastating blow against Reginald and Andrew.

Andrew's hatred for Guillermo intensified, amazed at his far-reaching manipulations even in the Outlands.

Vampire servants suddenly lunged at Andrew. He raised his hand, releasing a burst of holy light that erupted with intense purifying power. The vampires screamed and retreated into the darkness.

They charged endlessly at Cyril. As time passed, even Cyril's speed got affected by the relentless onslaught.

He grew frustrated. At the same time, he also wondered if Andrew was somehow able to avoid being attacked by the vampire servants.

Andrew should have already been buried under a dense swarm of thralls. By all logic, Cyril should have arrived to finish him off effortlessly.

Unable to make sense of it, Cyril stopped thinking and kept chasing Andrew downward. Then, all of a sudden, Andrew stopped.
