As soon as Asher Eli left the scene, the atmosphere grew tense.
Rock muttered urgently, "Your Majesty, we need to hold him back," his grip tightened around the chains of the blade in his right hand as he looked at Theo.
"You should handle the dimensional eaters; I will personally take care of him," commanded the enigmatic Vampire Queen, her voice carrying an air of authority as she vanished into thin air, only to reappear before Theo, the cunning rogue who always seemed to be one step ahead. Theo was nonchalantly patting one of the dimensional eaters, seemingly unfazed by the imminent danger.
With the swiftness of a striking serpent, the Vampire Queen swung her ebony sword, severing the head of the dimensional eater with precision. Without hesitating for even a heartbeat, she twisted her blade mid-air, aiming its lethal edge directly at Theo's exposed neck.
Theo, however, remained unperturbed, his lips curling into a sly smirk as his eyes shimmered with a mesmerizing golden hue. He tilted his head with a calculated grace, narrowly evading the deadly strike.
"What a fierce and captivating woman you are," Theo remarked, his voice laced with admiration and a hint of amusement.
"Tsk," the Vampire Queen clicked her tongue disapprovingly, her crimson eyes ablaze with a menacing glow as dark mana surged around her sword, imbuing it with deadly power.
"Oh?" Theo's surprise was genuine as he observed the sudden surge of energy, a gleeful curiosity dancing in his eyes, "It seems I've stumbled upon her pet."
"Who are you to call anyone a pet, you bastard!" The Vampire Queen's voice dripped with disdain as she launched another swift strike with her empowered blade.
"Hahahaha..." Theo's laughter echoed through the tense air as he effortlessly phased out of harm's way, leaving the Vampire Queen's attack to dissipate into the void.
"BOOMM!!"
The unleashed energy of the clash between their powers nearly tore through the fabric of reality, leaving a temporary rupture in the spatial continuum before it sealed itself, a testament to the raw power at play.
"Hmm... It appears she has ascended to a level akin to that of the demi-gods," mused Theo, a smirk of admiration crossing his features as he observed the Vampire Queen's prowess.
"Why don't you consider joining forces with me? I can offer you unimaginable power and fulfil every desire you possess, my lady," Theo proposed with a charming smile, his words carrying a tempting allure.
"Tsk," the Vampire Queen spat in defiance, her resolve unyielding. "I already have a devoted husband who would move mountains for me. Your offers mean nothing to me... So, fuck off!!"
"Hmm... What a shame," Theo lamented theatrically, a mask of regret briefly clouding his features as he withdrew his extended hand, a mischievous glint in his eyes hinting at hidden intentions. Just as he was about to lift his hand, a sudden realization struck him when felt nothing.
"Hmm?" Theo tilted his head in curiosity, his sharp senses alert to any impending danger. It was then that he noticed a peculiar absence... a numbing sensation creeping up from his left shoulder. With a growing sense of dread, he glanced down, only to witness his left arm cleanly severed as if it were butter under a blade.
His expression shifted from surprise to a subtle frown. Standing before him was the woman he had underestimated, her smirk now replaced with an amused smile that held a hint of superiority.
"You certainly have a gift for words," she remarked, her voice carrying a mocking tone as she observed Theo's reaction.
Without missing a beat, she vanished from his line of sight, only to reappear in a blur of motion right in front of Theo, her sword poised for another decisive strike.
As the battle raged on, the sheer ferocity of Theo and the Vampire Queen threatened to engulf everything around them in chaos and destruction.
Coming to the Vampire Queen's side,
"Hmm..." Vampire Queen flicked her hair back with an air of confidence, her gaze fixed on the seemingly defeated Theo, whose missing limbs and calm demeanour belied the gravity of his situation.
"Impressive..." Theo's voice echoed with an air of nonchalance, his defiance evident even in the face of defeat.
"Goodbye, whatever you are..." Vampire Queen's words dripped with finality as she poised her sword to strike, intent on ending Theo's existence once and for all.
"Spark, Spark"
Yet, before she could deliver the fatal blow, a sudden burst of blinding light enveloped the area, obscuring her vision and disrupting her intended course of action.
"Truly impressive... To think she taught you how to control those monstrous miasmas... Impressive," a voice interjected, its tone laced with a mixture of admiration and intrigue.
Startled, Vampire Queen turned to confront the source of the voice, only to behold Theo's body floating gracefully in the air, surrounded by ethereal sparks that danced around him like celestial threads, weaving a tapestry of enigmatic power as that connected his torn limbs, gradually restoring his form.
"Miasma?" Vampire Queen's brow furrowed at the unfamiliar term, a hint of confusion colouring her features.
"Hmm? She didn't tell you the truth..." Theo's voice carried a playful tone as he observed her reaction, a smile playing on his lips.
"Tsk," Vampire Queen clicked her tongue in frustration, a flicker of resentment surfacing at the realization that once again, her King had kept secrets from her, perhaps..... even from their own husband.
Nevertheless, she remained resolute in her determination not to be swayed by Theo's manipulative words, her grip on her sword tightening with renewed resolve.
But just as she prepared to deliver the final blow, Theo's voice resonated with an unexpected forcefulness, his eyes ablaze with an otherworldly golden hue that spoke of untapped power.
He had enough of some lowly lives hurt him!
"You guys must have forgotten when I said... I am Almighty," Theo proclaimed, his words ringing out with a commanding authority that sent a shiver down the spines of all who heard them.
'Snap'
And with a single snap of his fingers, the very fabric of reality seemed to ripple and warp, a wave of energy pulsating outward and causing the mana around them to dissipate into nothingness.
The atmosphere grew tense as all eyes turned to Theo, who, with a flourish of movement, began to reattach his severed limbs with an effortless grace that defied mortal comprehension.
"Listen, mortals..." Theo's voice carried an otherworldly resonance, his eyes flashing with an intensity that spoke of divine power.
"I am God!"
"I am God!"
"THUNDER!!"
