Chapter 67 The Vampire’s Strength And Mach 1

Before the vampire could attack he hears the shrieks of his underlings, thinking again on how his territory was getting ravaged by beasts he fumes in anger and decides to go all out.

The vampire discards his sword as his hands grow larger, the fingers grow much longer and thicker, becoming claws. The hands turn dark red as a dark red glow manifests around them. The vampire's whole body then starts changing as he slowly walks around the wolf whose body was also exhibiting some changes, its body was getting leaner as the muscles become even more prominent, his claws and fangs become longer and shine in an ominous light.

The vampire was different than before now, his bright red hair was gone, in its place was black hair that fluttered in the wind wildly, his muscles grew a bit bigger and his whole body exhibited a beast-like aura. Getting down in a low stance the vampire smiles dangerously at the wolf, the ground beneath his feet cracks, and a big cloud of dust forms as he lunges towards the beast with an incredible speed, faster than Reigns.

The wolf jumps sideways in an attempt to dodge the blow but that fails as blood spurts from its side, four deep lines were left on it after the vampire's claws sliced it. The wolf growls and attacks, his attacks, even though being incredibly strong miss every time as the vampire's speed allows him to dodge all of them. His face was still contoured into a huge ominous smile as a small laugh escapes his lips. The vampire was no longer nervous or angry, the transformation seemed to do something to his mind as everything he now yearned to do is to rip apart the animal in front of him.

Dodging would not get him that though, so he starts his counterattack.

"Blood Art."

The vampire jumps backward and pushes his open palm towards the wolf. The palm shines bright red as a clump of blood forms on it. The vampire continues laughing as he looks at the wolf whose mouth was wide open.

"Blood Spear."

The clump of blood was suddenly launched at the wolf with an incredible speed that turns it into a crude spear made of blood. The wolf spits out a red orb that intercepts the spear and explodes, blowing away the soil between them and making a shockwave that blasts wind everywhere, making Shadow's hair sway a bit together with the others.

"Fuck, are they really the same level as the treant, these guys seem much stronger," Shadow says with a shock on his face.

"Well yes and no, they seem stronger because of their speed and skills, but remember, the treants defense is much higher compared to them, not to mention the branches on his head, those almost killed you and Reign. " Beast tells Shadow what he thought about it. Wolf nods and adds.

"Not to mention that my flames were the treants weakness, that, coupled with his slow speed allowed us to do much damage early on, and Reign also managed to hit his eye with a stab, something most wouldn't be able to do."

"I guess so…" Shadow hangs down his head as he continues watching the fight.

The vampire was gone after the dust settled, the wolf immediately panics when he fails to see him, turning around he tries to find him, but that turns unsuccessful. Finally, the wolf's eyes constrict as he looks above him, it was too late though as the vampire's claws were already descending towards it.

Smiling brightly the vampire already imagined the wolf's head being split open by his claws, seeing the situation turn differently though makes him confused. The wolf actually jumped up a bit and did a front flip, managing to evade the attack aimed at his head, only gaining some wounds on his back from the claws.

The flip was followed by the sound of wind breaking as the wolf's tail fiercely hits the back of the vampire, launching his forward by a couple of meters.

Bam!

Both the wolf and the vampire fall down on the ground with a loud bang, a cloud of dust forming at each of their locations. The wolf gets up with relative ease, his body was still in good condition, but it knew that it had to finish the battle soon, as blood was still flowing from the wounds he gained, nothing he did could stop it as that was one of the effects of the vampire's claws.

"Darned!" The vampire slowly gets up, his hair disheveled and his body bruised from the powerful attack, his spine was injured during that attack, something that made him incredibly angry, for him, a proud vampire to be so wounded by a beast even after using his true form was unacceptable. "Beast!"

The vampire shouts in anger as a small red whirlwind forms around him, his hair flutters upwards as a red aura forms around him. Looking at the wolf with incredible hate in his eyes the vampire spreads his arms and gets down, before exploding forward with incredible velocity.

The wolf's body was glowing as uses his mouth to bite in front of him, blood spurting at the location of the bite before multiple new wounds get opened on it.

The vampire was breathing heavily behind the wolf, his shoulder was bleeding as the wolf managed to bite him during his charge, something he never thought to be possible.

Turning around he could see that the wolf was wobbling a bit, it could tank a good amount of attacks, that was certain, but the many wounds coupled with the blood loss were finally getting to it.

"I'll devour your corpse completely, only leaving your head intact so that you can hang on my wall as a trophy, something you should feel honored to do, you filthy beast." The vampire talks with disgust as he walks towards the wolf. His body seemed relaxed, but that could not be further away from the truth, he knew that the wolf will fiercely relent in its last moments, and his transformation was almost over, making him feel nervous as he needed to end it now.

The vampire's right hand glows with an intense light as he forms a hand spear, drawing his hand back he gets ready before charging at the wolf.

"Devils spear!"

​ The skill was something the vampire made by himself, by using his blood art to coat his entire arm he was able to make an incredibly penetrating attack.

He momentarily gets to the wolf who springs up and swipes his claw at him, the claw makes a huge gash on the ground in front while the vampire falls on one knee behind the beast, his transformation ending. The beast had a huge gaping hole in its chest, it was going to die in any moment.

"Hahahahaha, victory is finally mine!" The vampire laughs loudly as he sways left and right, his chest ripped open by the final attack of the wolf.

Suddenly

An arrow hits the wolf and explodes while three figures jump down on the wolf, all of them attacking it with full force and making the ground beneath them tremble.

The vampire looks ahead with a puzzled look as the dust settles. He could see three figures on top of the now-dead wolf, their weapons firmly lodged inside the beast.

"What the-" Before the vampire could finish his sentence he senses a huge amount of mana behind him, turning around he could see a brown-haired man clad in lighting a couple of meters away from him, his hand was drawn back and was holding a beautiful golden sword.

Thud

The vampire spits out blood as a dagger gets lodged in his side, puncturing his liver, turning his head left he sees a blonde young man who was smiling at him. "Thanks for almost killing the wolf, man, much appreciated."

The young man was Shadow who used his Shadow body to get to the vampire's side undetected. He was holding the Blood dagger that was used to stab the poor vampire. Letting go of the dagger he jumps backward and waves at the vampire. "Have a nice sleep."

The vampire tries to grab his hand but was too slow, the injures he had gotten were too severe for him to move normally now. "Wait-"

Before he could finish his sentence Reign moved, he wasn't going to risk anything so he used everything he had for this one attack, this was also the first time he ever used his sword's skill and managed to see its full power.

[Rank S+ Sword of Domination ]

Everyone thought that the sword was rank A at its original state, he was shocked after he saw that the sword was S+ and that the bonuses given to him were incredible, with his full force he lunges at the vampire and stabs him.

The attack comes in a moment, the vampire wasn't able to even try dodging before his stomach was stabbed, the force behind it explodes and actually rips him in half. It was only after the attack that a loud sonic boom was heard, Reign's speed was actually above Mach 1 now.
