The Vampire dashed to the front and straight toward Gudan. Gudan still had a calm expression while watching the Vampires move closer to him.
He even went as far as stopping any of his men from interfering.
"You'll pay for that!" The vampire yelled, taking a huge swing of his sword that was embedded with his magic energy at Gudan.
Gudan held the sword with his hand that was covered with his Ghost essence, with little to no effort as he smiled.
He stared deep into the vampire's eyes as he uttered, "I will use you as a lesson to the others… fear, very tricky but effective.".
Gudan immediately landed a very powerful and fast punch to the vampire's face which was accompanied by a loud thunderous sound.
Before the vampire could lift off from the force of the punch, Gudan grabbed his collar and pulled him back before landing another punch.
Gudan kept this up for a while, punching and pulling back all over again. After he got bored, he slammed the vampire to the ground and smashed his head to the ground with his foot.
"Come on, where's that spark you got before… uhnn?" Gudan teased while stomping the vampire's head to the ground continuously.
The vampire's face began to swell up with every stomp he received. The rest of the vampires watching were frozen in fear.
They watched as Gudan tortured their fellow Vampire until he didn't move again and just passed out on the ground.
"Ahhhh, I thought he was going last longer than that… oh well." Gudan said before standing up from his knees.
His face was covered with blood alongside his fists that were completely bruised up from all the punches.
...….
........
"Run! We don't stand a chance against a council member!" A female vampire panicked in the crowd.
As soon as his voice was heard, the remaining female Vampires joined in and tried to escape from the scene.
But then they noticed something.
They couldn't move from where they stood, it was like something was holding them to the ground and something was.
Every vampire that looked to the ground when confused as to how they couldn't move saw the same thing, green streaks on the ground that networked all the way from Gudan's feet and straight into theirs.
"What is this?"
"I..I can't move".
All the Vampires panicked while the Ghost Soldiers laughed at them.
Gudan ignored the vampires cries and faced the three mermaids that were still laying on the ground, shivering in fear as they hugged one another.
Gudan walked toward them and bent down, using his tongue to clean the blood on his lips before he uttered.
"Sorry about that, didn't mean to show you all... the pain and blood." Gudan said with a smile on his face, "That said, you can carry on with the spell… hmmm, chop chop.".
"Please… let us go, we promise not to…"
Before the mermaid could finish what she wanted to say, Gudan pulled her by the hair and shoved his hand in her mouth.
"Maria!" The other mermaid cried out, wanting to reach out to her sister.
Gudan kicked the other mermaid before he forced Maria's head to the ground, reaching deep for her throat which caused her to guck while struggling to free herself from Gudan's hand.
"Come on now, I'm not feeling very patient today, so give me an answer." Gudan said with a straight face while still forcing his hand down Maria's throat.
The mermaid immediately calmed down, holding each other's hands as they stared at Maira who was balling her eyes out.
"We'll do it." The green-haired mermaid, Xenxia replied.
"Wonderful." Gudan said with a smile, "You didn't have to waste my time so much though".
"We've accepted to activate the spell, so please let our sister go." Xenxia requested.
"Hmmm...I don't feel like it… no wait, how about this." Gudan said, he carried the mermaid by the neck and lifted her up.
"Every second that passes, I'll tighten my grip on her neck." Gudan uttered which was immediately followed by the protest of the mermaids.
"If you can activate the spell before your sister dies, then win for you, am I right?" Gudan proclaimed.
"But…"
"Time's ticking," Gudan said, tightening his grip on Maria's neck for them to see.
Maria's feet were dangling in the air, with saliva drooling from her lips while she was having her neck choked by Gudan.
Her sisters held thier hands and looked to be sky as they got ready to activate their magic spell in other to save their sister.
With a deep breath, the mermaid began singing.
"Dark sleeping ocean!
The ocean begat us and you shall abide.
Your mind belongs… your mind belongs… your life belongs".
The beautiful angelic singing voices of the mermaids resonated throughout the garden and beyond.
Every vampire soldier that heard the song began to fall to their knees after feeling light headed by the voice.
Elana was not affected by the song, but she could tell the song was causing some kind of effect.
One by one, the vampire soilders were slowly standing to their feet with thier eyes completely foggy black and dead.
"The spell has been done…" Xenxia said.
"Very good," Gudan replied, "I'm one step closer to my goal".
"We done everything you've asked, so please let us go." Shuna pleded.
Gudan gave out a grin in response to what Shuna said, he stared at Maria and began sqweezing the life out of her.
"You are of no use to me anymore, your service is no longer needed." Gudan expressed with a smile.
"Please don't do this… Maria!" Shuna cried, crawling with her tail and body on the ground as she struggled to move closer to Gudan.
Gudan began laughing miniacally with his hands still around Maria's neck.
"Don't worry, once I'm done with this.. I'll do the same to the rest of you." Gudan uttered with a smile, "You can be pai…".
Slash!
Out of nowhere, Gudan's hand flew away from it's joint after a fast lightening slash served his hand.
With his hand gone, Maria fell to the ground, coughing heavily while rubbing her neck to ease the pain she was feeling.
Gudan, with a shocked/confused look on his face, stared at him arm on the ground and immediately frowned his face.
"How… dare you?!" Gudan yelled furiously while looking at Elena who stood in front of Maria.
