Shortly after the vampire army emerged from the crimson light domain, Vaan immediately studied their numbers and strength.

Countless pieces of information poured into his mind, allowing him to grasp their structure.

Ding!

<You have grasped a complete understanding of the vampire hierarchy>

<The information has been compiled>

=====

[Vampire Hierarchy]

Rank 0 – Pseudo Vampire

Rank 1 – Newborn Vampire/ Halfing

Rank 2 – True Vampire

Rank 3 – Pureblood Vampire

Rank 4 – Noble Vampire

Rank 5 – Royal Vampire

Rank 6 – Vampire Lord

=====

[Pseudo Vampire]: A class of vampiric beings given to beings rejected and ruined by vampiric blood. They are bloodthirsty creatures whose spiritual wisdom has been destroyed and are short-lived.

They can be manipulated by higher-ranking vampires in the hierarchy and can only be regarded as slaves.

[Newborn Vampire/Halfing]: A class of vampiric beings given to vampires born through vampirization by ingesting vampiric blood. They are low-ranking vampires who can only be part of the servant class.

[True Vampire]: A class of vampiric beings given to vampires born from any two kinds of vampiric beings. Although better than servants, they can only be part of the commoner class.

[Pureblood Vampire]: A class of vampiric beings given to vampires without any non-vampiric bloodline. They are part of the middle class in the vampiric hierarchy.

[Noble Vampire]: A class of vampiric beings given to vampires born between a Royal Vampire parent and a Pureblood Vampire parent. They are mainly part of the middle class, but a few privileged births can be included in the upper class.

[Royal Vampire]: A class of vampiric beings given to direct descendants of Vampire Lords. They are the true upper-class beings in their vampirical society. They enjoy great power and authority.

[Vampire Lord]: A class of vampiric beings given to vampires who had evolved from their ancestral origins, the Vampiric Demon Bats. They are regarded as the true progenitor of blood and possess unfathomable powers.

The Great Devil Abaddon is history's oldest and most powerful Vampire Lord. As such, he is also called the Blood Ancestor.

=====

After Vaan compiled the vampires' information, it became clear that the vampires had only shown a small fraction of their full strength so far.

Great Devil Abaddon's Night Parade wasn't the next biggest threat after him. There were also Vampire Lords that had yet to make an appearance.

Furthermore, they did not know how many Vampire Lords existed or the height of their power either.

Reasons led Vaan to believe they were at least Divine-rank Vampiric Beings.

However, it was also strange for Gehenna to have so many Divine Beings—at least, according to Pangea's current understanding. After all, they had no idea of any Divine Beings besides the Seven Great Devils.

That said, given the peak power of the Seven Great Devils, it also made sense that Gehenna wasn't limited to seven Divine-

rank beings.

Pangea learned a lot about Gehenna over three hundred years. But from another perspective, this level of understanding was also as good as nothing. After all, this knowledge was all hearsay – information obtained from the words of others, regardless of the means.

Without personally exploring Gehenna and seeing with one's eyes, hearing with one's ears, and feeling with one's hands, how could the information be validated?

Humans were indeed intelligent, but the foundation of several hundred years couldn't be compared to million-year-old monsters.

The schemes of the Great Devils ran deep.

Perhaps everything the world learned about Gehenna was only what the seven Great Devils wanted the world to know.

Until the truth was truly revealed, all speculations were only just that – mere speculations.

…

Nevertheless, as Vaan observed the vampire army, he noticed several major points of interest.

'This army of vampires has zero discipline; they are too disorderly. Moreover, they show signs of panic and desperation as they emerge from Gehenna. This isn't the behavior of people going to war. Instead, they are fleeing. But from what?'

As Vaan pondered the matter, he moved closer to the vampire army to assist the human resistance until their reinforcements arrived.

At the same time, the black tornado of flying creatures followed him, tearing apart everything in its path. The brick roads and stone buildings were all dismantled by sheer wind pressure.

The black tornado of flying creatures mainly comprised low-

rank Vampiric Demon Bats, but their great numbers and coordination within the formation allowed them to generate power far beyond their limits.

Even Transcendents would have to be careful against such a powerful flying formation.

"Dammit! We can't last much longer! Why aren't our reinforcements here yet?!" an imperial soldier in the vanguard roared in desperation as he blocked the vampires' advancement with a giant black shield.

"The last messenger only departed mere moments ago! How could reinforcements arrive so quickly?" another shield-bearer cried anxiously before saying, "It's over! I can't hold on any longer—!"

Just as the imperial soldiers in the vanguard started drowning in despair, they noticed the vampires' pushing force weakening rapidly. As they hid behind their giant shields, they couldn't understand the reason.

However, those in the rear saw the situation clear.

"T-The bats are helping us!" an imperial soldier exclaimed with shock and disbelief, unable to comprehend why the bats turned on the vampires.

Meanwhile, Vaan continued to walk through the rear of the vampire army.

Countless Halflings, True Vampires, and even Pureblood Vampires were sucked into the great flying formation of black bats, torn apart and hurled away.

Vaan was akin to a walking disaster as destruction followed him.

"Argh, what are these stupid bats doing?! Someone tell them to stop—No, don't! Ahh!!" a Pureblood Vampire cried in fear as the great flying formation devoured him.
