Chapter 676 Meryem Vs Vlad
Vlad smiled, staring at the sky as he sat on a half-destroyed wall, "So you came, Uranus, the dragon of the end," He could see Arad flying toward him from the horizon.
He stood, "I won't let you just come and blast everything like last time," Vlad's body faded into black mist, "Have fun dancing," He disappeared.
FLAP! FLAP! Arad hovered above the capital, and the vampires infesting the streets screamed, "It's Uranus! Drop him before he unleashes another blast!" They screamed, expanding their wings and flying toward him.
Arad looked down, his eyes glowing purple, "The sky is too small for us. Crawl on the ground," He growled, a powerful wave of gravity rushing from his body, dropping all the vampires back to the ground like dying flies.
"This power!" A vampire growled, struggling to lift his face from the dirt, "Gravit magic," Even with their superhuman strength, facing Arad's magic made them realize. This dragon didn't have a single trick.
Eris stared down from Arad's back, "If your gravity magic stopped me, they wouldn't stand a chance to fly in it," She smiled.
A vampire waved his wand, sending a wave of black magic. The other vampires slowly stood up, "We can move?"
"I can't resist that magic for long on my own," The vampire wizard growled, "Got it!" The other vampire wizard replied, turning into mist and going into hiding. Quickly after, the wizard sighed, "This is better,"
"It takes tens of them to resist Arad's magic?" Meryem looked down, "Is Arad's spell that powerful?"
"No," Merlin replied, "All spells are equal. The only difference is the brain behind them. Resisting a spell is a contest of skill and intelligence. It's only natural that it takes a lot of them to contend with a dragon's brain,"
"Where is Vlad?" Arad growled, looking around the capital, "I'll blow this whole place if he doesn't show up,"
The vampires growled, knowing that Arad wasn't bluffing. He had already blown their kingdom to pieces. It isn't strange for him to do it again.
Alcott pulled his sword, "Vlad is an expert at hiding and striking from the shadows. You won't detect him with normal means. He'll wait for you to strike and take you down," He jumped down, landing between the vampires, "Yo, missed me?"
The vampires took a step back. The last time they saw Alcott, he killed half of their army, fought their princess, and won even though she turned him into a vampire.
Ginger flew down from Arad's back and landed behind Alcott, "It's been a long time,"
"Princess Scarlett!" The vampires growled, pulling their weapons, "In you still own your will, return to your throne." One of them said, "It's our fault that we failed to protect you,"
Ginger giggled, "What do they say? You might hate something, and it's good for you," She approached Alcott, licking his neck and cheek, "I'm staying with him."
Meryem blinked, barely able to track the club as it moved down, firing a blood blast toward her.
CLAP! The blood blast smacked Meryem in the face, sending her flying toward the wall at a blinding speed like a file smacked with a roll of new papers.
As Meryem reached the wall, she hit it with her feet and jumped straight back toward Vlad, swinging her fist at him.
CLAP! Vlad smacked her again, and she bounced straight off the wall to counterattack.
^Almost no damage at all? That hard cartilage of her is tougher than I expected,^ Vlad stared at her with a passive face he smacked her left and right, ^I'm faster, stronger but she has a stronger defence.^
CLAP! CLAP! He smacked her left and right, but she managed to predict and dodge one of his swings, almost hitting him with a punch. CLAP! He smacked her away.
^She has strong senses. Finding me here is the proof. If I made another mistake, she'd sniff it out and attack me. I can take a lot of damage, but I don't want to waste my energy on them before facing Uranus. That's why I'm hiding here and letting my men deal with Alcott and the others,^ He smiled, ^I don't want to even use my blood domination. Its magic is stronger than the barrier and would slip right out.^
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! As Meryem got smacked around, trying over and over to hit Vlad, she started noticing. ^He is not using his full magic. Is he saving it for Arad?^
^From what I've heard, he should've been able to use blood magic to try and restrain me. But he isn't doing it.^ She bounced off the walls, swinging a kick at Vlad's head.
CRACK! He smacked her on the ground and then hit her again, sending her toward the walls.
^Trying to figure out why he isn't going all out against me is useless. I can only assume that he sees me as weak.^ She smiled, ^Yeah, I understand it now. This is the difference between me and Arad. If I was worthy to be his make, Vlad's would've seen my strength and went all out,^
She started laughing, ^If I managed to force him to use all of his power, Arad would approve of my power. Even if I don't win, him going all out would call Arad here.^ She flew at Vlad, "Vampire! Go all out! Stop holding back, you fool!"
^What is she babbling about?^ Vlad stared at her, ^Well, she figured I was holding out so my fear of her senses was justified.^
"What a pain," Vlad growled, pulling a second club. CRACK! CLAP!
BAM! Meryem hit the wall, stopping. She stood, glaring at Vlad with a dark aura of the void crackling around her body.
^Magic? That looks like the void, pure nothingness that consumes everything. To think such a monster exists, but that only makes sense.^ Vlad took a stance, ^This monster is a dungeon boss, if I assumed Uranus used that dungeon as a layer, it isn't strange for the monsters beneath him to start showing up some of his magic. The natural adaptation,^
He smiled, ^This is becoming fun,^ He giggled, ^This confirms that Uranus is a void dragon, one of the rarest monsters in the world.
"Come at me, Ant Queen," Vlad lifted the blood clubs, "I'll pound you down until you give up on life," Blood magic gushed out of his body in a red aura.
