As the torches were tossed, they ignited the high concentration of gasoline in the air even before reaching the cellar.
Loud muffled sounds erupted from the cellar.
Terryn and others could feel a massive tremor under their feet. Even through their shoes, they could feel the ground’s temperature rising.
Even under the sunlight, huge flames could erupt from the more than ten holes in the ground, shooting over 60 feet into the sky.
Screams of agony and shrieking cries rose from beneath. Without the brightness, the sounds alone would have appeared to be from hell.
Many vampires couldn’t endure the cellar’s unstoppable flames. They jumped out of the holes, hoping for a chance to survive. However, when they leaped out and were exposed to the sunlight, they instantly started smoking and burned up, quickly turning into charred corpses.
This scene reminded Terryn of the over ten thousand missionaries who had died in battle the previous night. She looked up, tears streaming from favonovel.com sapphire eyes.
The fire burned fiercely for over two hours. The screams from the cellar lasted just as long before fading and eventually stopping.
A Dark Horse Knight braved the cellar’s intense heat and went down to check. He saw nothing but piles of charred bones.
“Your Majesty, they’ve all been burned to death…”
Terryn nodded and said coldly, “Leave five people behind. Contact the vineyard’s owner and offer to acquire this place. Bury them.”
After making the arrangements, Terryn promptly left the vineyard with favonovel.com group.

As night fell, several shadows suddenly appeared outside the quiet vineyard and moved swiftly toward it. More and more shadows gathered from all directions.
Bank and Calix wore black stand-collar trench coats. Their pallid faces made them appear especially sinister under the moonlight.
Bank squatted to touch the still-warm ground. A gust of wind brought a pungent charred odor from the cellar entrance.
“What on earth happened? Go down and check!” Calix demanded furiously, his face contorted in anger.
More than half of his father’s vampire army were here. They were supposed to gather in a valley six kilometers from the Heaven Church headquarters after dark, but nobody had shown up. They had no choice but to turn back.
Two dukes rushed down into the hole to investigate.
Minutes later, they reappeared, kneeling before Calix and Bank.
“Your Highness, i-it’s all charred bones inside. It’s been burnt by a gasoline fire. All of our 20 thousand vampires are dead!”
Hearing that, Calix grabbed a duke’s throat, hoisted him, and roared venomously, “Where’s that damned foreign woman? Where’s Diana and that traitor Rem?”
“T-They’re gone…”
Both Calix and Bank’s expressions darkened. They could tell who was behind this.
A massive shadow slowly drifted down from above.
Laurent closed his eyes, sniffed the charred soil smell in the air, and abruptly opened his eyes to roar, “Who did this?”
“Father, it was Isaac! That damned Eastern practitioner! He found our place and used the sunlight to rescue those two damned women! He even burned this place with gasoline! Our 20 thousand vampires are gone!”
Laurent howled up into the sky, his roar echoing.
The fire killed over 20 thousand vampires. Adding the nearly 20 thousand vampires who died in last night’s battle at the Heaven Church, favonovel.com had only over 20 thousand vampires left.
