Jake looked at the incoming horde of beasts and saw it''s another swarm of rats.

    "no they are different from before" Jake looked at them and thought.

    "They are elemental rats" Jake said as he looked at the colorful rats.

    As Jake observed the incoming horde of beasts, he noticed that they were different from the previous swarm of rats. These creatures were elemental rats, each adorned with colors representing various elemental affinities.

    "Strange, weren''t they friendly?" Jake pondered, recalling his previous encounters with similar creatures. However, something seemed amiss this time.

    [It''s probably a event thing] Nexus said.

    As Nexus suggested it might be an event, Jake nodded in agreement. With a swift motion, he unleashed his Dark Slashes, aiming to take down the elemental rats threatening his village.

    The rats, displaying unexpected intelligence, quickly cast shields of different colors in response to Jake''s attack. Jake acknowledged their cunning, recognizing them as mage-like creatures. However, their efforts were futile as Jake''s Dark Slashes tore through their defenses, swiftly dispatching them.

    "You chose the wrong time," Jake remarked, noting the advantageous environment. With the mountain blocking the sun and casting shade over his territory, Jake''s Dark Knight abilities were empowered, giving him an edge in battle.

    Jake then also released his dreadful aura and weakened them further.

    [Dreadful Aura:

    Description: Emits an aura of fear and despair, weakening the resolve of Jake''s enemies and sapping their strength.

    Abyssal Mana Cost: 80 mana

    Effect: Reduces the attack and defense of enemies within a 10-meter radius by 20% for 15 seconds.

    Environmental Effect: The potency of the aura is amplified by 50% in dimly lit areas and doubled in total darkness.]

    Squeak! Squeak!

    Sudden weakening disoriented them and Jake taking the advantage of this unleashed a dark magic.

    "Hell Flare" With Jake''s words a dark flame appeared in his hand and as Jake hurled it at the Rats, it expanded and blasted a massive area, taking along a large chunk of Rats.

    SQUEAK!!!

    {You have heard the Beastly Cry}

    {All stats reduced by 10% for 1 minute}

    {Dark Knight''s Resolve:

    {Status condition Lifted}

    Jake looked at the source of that cry and saw a fat rat wielding a scepter and crown at the back of the Rat swarm.

    Jake smirked and vanished and appeared directly in front of the Rat King.

    "As I said wrong time" Saying so Jake released Dark slashes at point blank range and also relesed a Darkness blast for surety.

    He appeared directly in front of Rat king thanks to his skill Shadow step.

    [Shadow Step:

    "I can only do this much," she said modestly.

    "It''s more than enough," Jake replied with a warm smile, appreciating Emily''s efforts.

    After that Jake and others returned to Jake''s Village.

    "it was splendid battle my lord" Lily said.

    "It was truly great" Razor also nodded and praised Jake.

    After that Jake and his friends completed the tour of Jake''s village and then.

    "Now come to my Territory" Dio said and vanished and then a friendly teleportation notification appeared on Jake and others screen.

    They accepted it and vanished too " Take care of village" Jake remarked before disappearing, Lily and Razor bowed as they see off Jake and his friends.

    ////////////////////////////////

    As Jake appeared he looked around and mumbled " It''s underground"

    "Dahh, I am a Vampire now, what did you expect" Dio shrugged and said.

    Mark and Jimmy smiled and Emily shook her head.

    "I don''t remember , Vampires being weak to sun" Jake''s replied as he heard Dio words.

    "I know, but remember the old stories, I wanted to be like that," Dio said as he showed them books before the time of invasion.

    "A Dark lord within his Dark Castle, " Dio posed and said.

    ''He is a chunni'' Jake mentally thought as he looked at Dio new side or his real side.

    As Dio lead them to his village, they saw mainly Vampires villagers along with some half vampires and blood elves too.

    As they continued their tour of Jake''s village, they reached a pitch-black house. Dio pointed at the ominous structure and spoke up, "This is the home of my Legendary hero, the Shadow Assassin. He hails from the Shadow elf race and prefers to sleep in shadows or darkness."

    Jake and the others observed the dark abode with interest, imagining the mysterious and stealthy nature of Dio''s Legendary hero.

    After admiring Dio''s Shadow Assassin''s home, they moved on to the next hero''s residence. Jake led them to a quaint and serene house surrounded by lush greenery.

    "This is the dwelling of my Rare-grade hero, the Shaman," Dio announced.

    The group approached the house with curiosity, intrigued by the mystical presence it exuded. Unlike the dark ambiance of the Shadow Assassin''s abode, the Shaman''s home emanated a tranquil and spiritual atmosphere. Dio explained that the Shaman possessed powerful abilities to commune with nature and wield elemental magic.

    As Dio was explaining the door opened and then a small girl came out, wearing a flower crown and white clothes.

    "My lord you are back" She said looking at Dio.

    Dio nodded and then said to her " Mina, they are my friends and guys she is Mina my Shaman"

    Jake and others greeted her and she smiled and greeted them back and then...

    "Wait a minute" She said and ran back to her house.

    Jake and others looked t Dio and he replied " Just wait , you will know"

    Jake and others nodded and then she returned with a Tea Pot and tea cups floating behind her.

    "I have just brewed some tea. Why don''t you all taste it?" she said and began pouring tea for everyone, then led them to a table in the middle of her house''s garden.

    Jake and the others followed her and took the tea. Jake took a sip and opened his eyes wide. "It''s delicious!" he exclaimed, and the others nodded in agreement.

    Mina smiled and thanked them.

    Dio looked at her and then at the tea, wryly smiling, knowing his species couldn''t drink the spirit tea.
