Kapitel 181: Chapter 181 - The finale [2/4]

Fortunately, Astrid, as a Runebound vampire, was far faster, allowing her to quickly appear behind Emily, and knock her unconscious.

Before Emily could sag to the ground, Astrid gathered her up in a princess carry and looked with some concern at the enslaved Victor, but he seemed to remain the same, causing her to sigh in relief.

She then turned to Emma, and said, "Let's go!"

Emma was looking at Astrid with a face full of gratitude, as she had felt utterly helpless when Emily simply took off running.

When they were about to take off into the wilderness outside of Frostvik, Astrid suddenly thought of something.

"Wait!" she said to Emma, and quickly crouched down with her back turned to Emma. "Climb on my back," she said hurriedly.

Emma understood that, as a human, and a first-rank at that, she would never be able to move as fast as a second-rank vampire, even if that vampire was carrying both her and Emily.
