The brilliant white light from her palm scarred Linard's eyes as his feet immediately stopped in its tracks and stumbled towards the side while clutching his face in immense pain.
"AARGHH!!" Linard crashed into the wall before falling on the ground, his eyes still feeling as if they were set ablaze. He could feel the searing heat burning through his eye sockets even after covering his face.
Umilia's dressing had undergone an immediate change as her entire body was now draped in an elegant white gown with full sleeves made out of translucent fabric and was perfectly hugging her voluptuous curves, especially emphasizing her big firm breasts.
A beautifully embroidered veil was covering half her face while revealing her glowing white eyes that seemed to have a heavenly look.
"I told you…you would regret it," Umilia said with a firm gaze as she looked down at a groaning Linard, still clutching his eyes.

"Sacred light is a prime weakness of vampires. I warned you because of that. As for who I am…it doesn't concern you. I am going to take you away now for now," Umilia decided to not kill him but instead find out what exactly happened to him while looping in Taya and Viktor. This was not something she could keep away from Viktor. He had to know that an ordinary human somehow turned into a vampire of sorts despite the fact that it was shortening his own life.
Umilia pointed her finger towards Linard as a white ray of light shot out of her finger and struck Linard's head, immediately making him fall unconscious as his cries died out.
She was then about to grab him when she suddenly frowned upon noticing many shadowy figures jumping through the roofs before finally landing near her, effectively surrounding her in a circle.
There were a total of six men, and as Umilia calmly scanned her eyes over them, she was unable to recognize any one of them. However, she was able to sense that all six of them were vampires.
"Lady Sorceress, we advise you to not touch that man. I am sure you already gave that man the punishment for offending you. Now let us handle him, and we will make sure he will never approach you again," One of the men with scarlet red eyes stepped forward and said in a polite tone. He had a long scar over his eyes and pale skin, just like the other five. He seemed to be the one leading the other five men.
However, all these six men were completely mesmerized by the appearance of this sorceress who gave off a sacred and heavenly charm.
But at the same time, they could also feel her boundless power putting pressure on the air around them even without her trying anything. Just standing within her aura was enough to make them break a sweat. This was why everyone was standing still and vigilantly waiting for the best move.
After taking a good look at these six men, Umilia finally spoke as she looked at their leader, "You all don't seem to be natural vampires. The blood flowing within you all doesn't seem to have come from a direct source. Tell me who you all are, and then I can at least guarantee that you all will leave here alive."
The leader's expression became difficult when he heard such determined and assertive words from this powerful woman. If he had the choice, he wouldn't even come anywhere near her, but at the same time, it was not like he had a choice. If he went back empty-handed, then a worse fate might await him.
As the six men looked on with jittery nerves, the leader still asked with a reluctant expression, "Lady Sorceress, we are being respectful with you here. Even if you defeat us, you would only end up waking the sleeping lion, and you wouldn't want that. It's just a body, and you don't want to involve yourself in these things."
"Then it won't be the first time I have woken up a sleeping lion and killed it. Now leave or die. This is my final warning," Umilia said as her radiant white eyes looked at him, making him lower his gaze even more since none of them were able to meet her gaze due to how dangerous it was for them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was a good chance of blinding their eyes just by looking at hers. That was how powerful she was and why all these six were having a bad feeling about offending her.
But seeing that she was too adamant, the leader gritted his teeth as he shouted, "Then you leave us no choice!"
All six charged towards Umilia at a speed that would make them look like shadows moving.
However, Umilia only narrowed her eyes as she raised her finger, and multiple brilliant white rays of light emanated from the tip of her finger and struck through five of them, obliterating them to ashes.
The leader was the only one remaining alive, and he was rushing at her with his eyes closed since her radiance just seemed too blinding and searing.
Umilia purposefully didn't kill him yet as she stopped him in his tracks by clutching his neck and smashed him down to the ground, the violent impact creating cracks over the ground as the pavement broke.
"You can stay alive for now. You seem more stable and lucid compared to him," Umilia said as she momentarily took a glance at an unconscious Linard, though the man felt the chills wondering what this beautiful yet deadly sorceress was going to do to him.
"I don't think you will be taking anyone from here today.. Not without leaving here as a corpse," A cold, cutting tone of a woman sounded from behind, making Umilia turn around with a vigilant gaze.
