Chapter 1000 Stopping The Umbralheim Raid

Chapter 1000 Stopping The Umbralheim Raid

-----

The Vampires led by Christine dispersed into the rest of the city, aiming to hunt down the civilians for the offering of blood they have been promised and to slay the ones that were getting in their way. To their terrible surprise, however, they were greeted with death. They were all powerful Pseudo SS Ranks, already developing their own Divine Embers.

However, Maria's party was prepared. They had the advantage in terms of environment. The Shadow Realm weakened their stats through Maria's own skills, and further absorbed their energies so their attacks couldn't be easily conjured. At the same time, some of the heavy hitters were incredibly powerful even for their own Ranks.

"You're nothing but an oversized lizard! Perish!" Laughed a pair of arrogant Vampires, unlashing advanced Blood Magic against Lucifer.

"Just an oversized lizard?! I've had enough!"

Lucifer swiftly flew into the skies, clashing against both Vampires and their dozens of Vampiric Beasts all at once. His titanic claws tore apart their barriers and their magic simple bounced off his divine dragon scales.

The faces of disbelief of the vampires only lasted a couple of seconds before their whole beings were torn to shreds, incapable of channeling their full power as they let themselves be trapped inside of Maria's Shadow Realm.

CRAAASH!

Their bodies splattered on the air, as Lucifer bathed on their blood. Noticing they were trying to regenerate after he tore them to shreds with his titanic claws, jaws, and tail, he swiftly loaded his jaws with his Mana.

"GRAAAH!"

The monstrosity they became after trying to forcefully regenerate after being torn to shreds attacked him, resembling a tentacled aberration made of red, pulsating flesh, bones, and blood.

"Vampires from another world are pretty interesting..." He smiled. "Maybe things would have been much harder if we weren't prepared, or if Maria didn't trap you all inside of her Domain... But good riddance, I don't want to deal with monsters like you!"

He opened his draconic jaws, blasting the titanic aberration into ashes with a single, concentrated explosion of Abyssal Death Flames. The screams of the two combined vampires and the hundreds of souls within the blood of the people they had consumed reverberated, finally freed from their accursed existences.

BOOOMMM!!!

"So many souls! These bastards are definitely not like the Vampires of this world... Do they absorb the souls of people they drink their blood from?" Wondered Lucifer. "Perhaps this is the unique way in which they grow inside of their own world?"

Both Blood Energy, Chaos, and Demonic Energies merging together, to release an utterly frightening presence...

"I might superficially resemble something like a Vampire or a Demon, but I am a skeleton, actually."

Partner's body distorted, as gigantic blood red skeleton claws sprouted out of her back, six of them, big enough to wrestle against titans, and quickly intercept the attacks from the incoming Vampires.

"B-Bones?!"

"What?!"

"Skeleton? What kind of bullshit-"

Before she could even let them speak anymore, Partner's skeletal claws pierced through their barriers, something that surprised them greatly, and impaled their bodies several times. One of them managed to die on the spot as their head exploded, but the other two survived, panicking and releasing their true power.

They quickly transformed, becoming two gigantic abominations resembling fleshy red worms, with dozens of heads and many tiny legs resembling giant fingers. Partner widened her eyes in surprise, her two spears overflowing with her power.

"Nice, you've gotten bigger! Easier target! Now stay still!"

As the two monstrous worms unleashed a foul breath of acid capable of melting it all, Partner ignored their attack, piercing their bodies countless pieces as she flew around them.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Ultimately, her spear reduced their gigantic bodies into piles after piles of flesh, blood, and guts!

"Hahaha! Why did you even transform?! You only became easier to hit, dumbasses!"
