Chapter 535: Final Fight: Clementine & Harumi VS Frank & Matsuo 2

-----

"Matsuo let me pass."

"Sorry, I can't really do that, Harumi…"

"Very well then. I will carve my way through. Don't blame me for this."

"…!"

Harumi found herself in front of Matsuo. The young man didn't let her pass through. He knew she wanted to assist her mother, but Frank had permanently locked her in place. This was not without a reason. It was obvious that Clementine was strong enough to knock Matsuo out in an instant if she had the chance, and that would leave Frank to fight two at the same time, something like that was way too dangerous.

He wanted to perma-lock into Harumi as well, so Frank wouldn't have to bear all the burdens! And of course, as his fighting partner, he had to take care of a fighter in his enemy side, right? Harumi was the only choice left!

Harumi was ruthless, however, and today she wasn't going around in circles anymore. Very direct as always, she flew towards Matsuo in an instant, as her fist impacted Matsuo's palms in an instant!

CLASH! CLASH

The two hits were amazingly strong, leaving Matsuo's entire body trembling internally! His flesh and bones quivered in pain, as he gritted his teeth. There was no time to waste taking over the pain and getting over it, he had to move quickly, this was a battle way above his league, if he didn't react in time, he would surely be knocked out even by Harumi who had just awakened her powers…!

"You're thinking too much, Matsuo. Bye." Said Harumi, her leg suddenly raised high. She was surprisingly good at martial arts which she had black belt at, her simply kick reached Matsuo's chin and sent him flying into the sky!

CLAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!

"Unnggh?! Aghh… S-Shit!"

Matsuo fell over the floor right away!

BOOM!

Harumi looked down at him.

He hasn't even used magic, and he was already knocked out…

"Sigh… Sorry, mother shouldn't had really put you in… It was very inconsiderate of her." Sighed Matsuo, feeling rather sorry and pitying Matsuo. He had yet to reach their realm after all, he was just dead weight even with Frank's Divine Protection…

Harumi was about to move away and assist her mother!

…

However.

"Hm?!"

As she was moving away, she felt a strange… hand, grasping her ankle.

"Matsuo?"

His hand was grasping her ankle very tightly, without letting go.

"I am sorry… but I can't let you go on any further, Harumi…" he muttered.

"Matsuo you're an idiot- AH?!"

FLASH!

Several magic circles emerged behind Matsuo, above Harumi, behind her, at her left and right side, and also… below her!

The bright light emerged like a blazing golden flame this time around, bathing Harumi with an unexpected attack!

BOOOMMM!!!

The explosive flames of holy light encompassed her entire body in an instant! Since when Matsuo could do such a thing as this now?! He had never showcased such an ability before1 this was a brand-new ability and an altogether form too!

Amazing!

The spectators were left surprised! Harumi too! She was bathed in these deadly flames of holy light, her entire body began to burn despite being a Dhampir and supposedly not having such weaknesses!

Matsuo slowly stood up again, as his entire body was coated in light, forming an armor over his own armor, the armor of some sort of majestic paladin…

"This is not over, Harumi…" he said with a smile, cleaning the blood on his mouth. Matsuo's eyes flashed with bright light!

What… was this?!

Everyone in the spectators' seats felt it too! Matsuo had… somehow evolved? For a split of a second, he felt different. The man they thought would simply become the punching bag of Harumi and Clementine had done something!

What he had done was pretty simple too, Harumi had her guard low due to underestimating him. he had set up several magic circles in the middle of the air while she was fighting him. they triggered the moment he gave the command, and they all combined their power into a deadly explosive attack!

Harumi fell to her knees, as her regeneration slowly began to heal her burnt wounds… she gasped for air. She had never received such amount of damage before… like, ever!

"You're going to take me serious now? Sorry for burning your pretty face. I know how much you like to take care of it for Frank." Smiled Matsuo.

"Ah…!"

Harumi looked at Matsuo with an angered expression, her entire body exuded the deadly presence of a Vampiress! The crimson-red aura emanated from her body was strong, encompassing her entire body and covering it with a great amount of power, this power was enough to reinforce her muscles, as her blood magic made her blood boil and also pump fast across her body! Her reflexes were enhanced in an instant, as her fangs grew sharper…

"Fine… Don't blame me if I kill you by accident then!" she roared, her eyes seemingly becoming as fierce as those of a wild beast! Harumi was going serious now!

Matsuo smiled bitterly as he began to sweat profoundly… he began to think that he might had gone a bit too far in the bragging there, acting too cocky wasn't good either.

"Erm, wait a second, don't-"

FLASH!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Harumi reached Matsuo in an instant, her claws grew as long as blades, as they began to attack him continuously! The powerful claws of Harumi were infused with her divine aura, being reinforced thousands of times and growing incredibly strong! Matsuo hanged together using Frank's Divine Protection boost, as he coated this power into his armor and resisted the hits, conjuring several barriers to protect himself but all these light barriers were shattered!

"Shit… I have to use it again!" he thought, as he suddenly began to make a complicated conjuration inside of his mind!

Life… Light… Fire…

These sacred elements are capable of burning through any Undead, even Harumi who supposedly has no Vampire weakness is mildly weak against them if they combine together! She cannot escape from her vampiric heritage after all!

These elements… Matsuo combined them together, and he pointed his staff at Harumi, infusing them into it and a wave of golden flames at her!

FLAAAASH!
