Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 114 114:Vampire Hunt[VIII]

Veins bulged beneath Kraft's skin as the transformation intensified, and his limbs elongated into grotesque proportions.

A sickening snap accompanied the elongation of his fingers, now ending in razor-sharp claws. The air seemed charged with malevolence as the once-humanoid figure warped into a nightmarish silhouette.

A gruff growl emanated from the depths of his throat as his entire body seemed to writhe with an unnatural vitality. Tattered remnants of clothing clung desperately to his shifting form, unable to withstand the monstrous metamorphosis. His skin took on a pallid, otherworldly hue, veins pulsating with an ethereal glow.

Finally, the transformation reached its zenith, and the humanoid vampire, now unrecognizable, stood in his true form.

A grotesque fusion of bat-like wings, elongated limbs, and a maw of pointed fangs. The air crackled with eerie energy as he unfurled his wings, casting a haunting silhouette against the dimly illuminated night.

The drops of rain bounced off from his body as the scene depicted a brutal unveiling of the creature's true nature, a macabre metamorphosis that revealed the monstrous depths hidden beneath the veil of the humanoid guise.

Kraft's body extended to a muscular dark visage of 7 feet tall while Terpas was beyond that.

Spurs grew out from both of their shoulders and a dark prey of gray metal skeletal wings extended into the air. Every strand of their hair became thick, hard, and white but unlike Kraft who looked terrifying yet disgusting, Terpas face looked sinisterly beautiful, enough to charm any lady to fall in love with such a monster.

He was akin to the portrayal of a Vampire Prince falling in love with beauty in fantasy romance books.

But contrary to the charm a threatening pressure broke free like a burst of a dam.

"Did this guy just become more handsom-?"Kratos hadn't even finished speaking when Kraft's wings vibrated shifting wings.

With his extraordinary speed that surpassed the perception of every sense, he appeared before Kratos and Linglin who were helping Helsa out from the debris.

BOOM!

First, there was the sound of air being torn apart which almost blew everyone's ear drums.

TANG!

Then a loud sharp noise responded everywhere.

A thick, large but powerful dark gray claw clashed against Kratos's blade that barely managed to block, and sparkles sprayed out fiercely.

"KHUMM!"

With a painful groan, Kratos's figure was sent flying after he was struck by a claw.

Linglin, controlling her wildly beating heart, whipped her whip at Kraft but his image blurred, and the whip went past the afterimage striking a rubble, breaking it apart.

SWISH!

Linglin's blood froze in fear, as she felt a chilling sensation from behind.

"Enough girl!"Kraft appeared from behind and slashed but Helsa didn't let him do so, as she threw her daggers which Kraft deflected easily with flicker.

Linglin, trying to be composed, decides to retreat but with a snap, she felt a grip over her neck and lifted off like a doll, she was thrown over Helsa.

"KHUMM!"

"ARGHH!"

Painful groans of two women echoed as their bodies jolted in pain.

"Don't kill them. They would be made useful slaves."

Kraft, hiding his annoyance, kicked the two women brutally.

BOOM!

Due to Kraft's incredibly fast movements, the loud sound of the wind was stirred up by his movements, and bursting forth with power struck Linglin who laid on Helsa.

BOOM!

Bouncing off the ground and leaving behind cracks, Linglin and Helsa's ragged figure slid off the ground for 20 meters.

"KYAAH!"

Letting out a painful cry they coughed blood feeling the bones in their body pulverized.

Kraft then turned his gaze toward his former leader and finding him nowhere, opened his bestial fangs to give a loud monstrous shriek of madness.

"GORRROO!"

"Where?"

"Where did he go?AAAAAH!"Kraft roared, scratching his own face.

"Calm down slave. He can't escape."

Terpas smiled and raised his finger.

Blood lightning flickered around, and a red circle was drawn underneath him. The circle expanded, and a myriad of energies burst forth.

Under everyone's horrified eyes, puddles of blood started to gather there to take the shape of the humanoid figure.

The Special Power of Vampires of Royal Lineage.

"Blood Summoning."

"The moment I took this form, victory was already set in stone."He smiled looking at Feng Ruoxi's trembling figure while commanding the humanoid minions to search for the escape.

Feng Ruoxi gnashed her teeth tightly, to keep her consciousness. It didn't take her long to find out about the oddity.

At first, she thought it might be due to backlash but as she noticed a cut near her hips, she realized that it was Blood Mystic's ability of Terpas.

She felt pain as if her whole body was being stabbed from inside.

The Vampire's poisonous blood might have sneaked in by a wound and paralyzed her body.

'He said something about my sacred flames. It seems my flames due to their origin in Phoenix are quite pure. I can use that to burn his energy inside me but it might be too risky.'

Feng Ruoxi gritted her teeth as she concluded.

"Stop looking here and finish the job," Terpas ordered with a menacing gaze making Kraft shudder.

In the next second, Kraft once again moved with extreme speed that triggered sonic booms and instantly reached the area above Feng Ruoxi to attack.

He flung his claw downwards and stabbed directly through Feng Ruoxi's body. However, even though his claws pierced through, he didn't feel that soft squishy sensation of his claws digging deeper.

The next season, his expression changed and immediately turned around activating his speed and bringing up loud sounds of tearing winds in its wake!

But at the exact moment, he turned around a hand covered in flames forming a sharp blade pierced through his chest. After that, he stared at the figure.

"You missed my heart."Kraft sneered and slashed his other claw at her.

SWISH!

Tearing through the air his claw moved swiftly like lightning toward her neck.

In the next second, blood splattered in the air.

But it wasn't due to his claws going past her neck rather she blocked it by sacrificing her palms that were dug into her skin.

Kraft was about to use his right arm to hack, but he felt a bad premonition.

Feng Ruoxi's pale figure immediately lit up with power cracking through her veins. The air crackled as she drove her explosive power to the brim.

Before Kraft could react, the formidable energy emerging from her engulfed him in a dazzlingly bright light.

A shimmering light emerged from her and then a flicker of blinding flash lit up the darkness of the night.

BOOOOM!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the place. The explosion unleashed shockwaves of flames that rippled through the place, creating a faint mist as it touched the veil of rain.

When the explosion died down, a figure with his upper part missing and remaining brunt by sacred flames appeared along with a woman whose body was drenched in blood oozing out from all the pores of her body.

"You used your trump card on him. It seems that much you amount to, "Terpas smiled and snapped his fingers.

HISSSSSSSS!

"You might have survived but as long as your wound is touched by a vampire…."A cruel smile hung on Terpas lips.

Kratos, Helsa, and Linglin, figures quivered as the deep crunching pain of bones getting torn apart transverse through their body.

"Though you brunt my blood energy still your body isn't in a condition to resist me."

Feng Ruoxi, unable to contain her injury anymore, vomited blood mixed with pieces of her internal organs.

"Sacrificing a small pawn to get a bigger pawn was worth it."Terpas smiled, revealing his fangs and wondering how powerful would this woman become after he mutated.

"It's not over."

A cold decisive voice echoed in the air.

"You have more Trump cards, "Terpas asked with a frown, raising his guard.

To this question, Feng Ruoxi smiled coldly, shaking her head.

"I don't but he had."Feng Ruoxi then turned around and screamed loudly.

"Stop gawking and come out asshole."

The moment she said this, Terpas feeling something amiss looked around.

He then raised his chin to look at the sky and saw a group of hawks and ravens circling the place.

And as he narrowed his eyes he found that they weren't living entities of flesh, but rather made from a sinister force representing the harbinger of Death.

Terpas scanned his surroundings hurriedly, as he realized that someone undetected was watching the whole battle, and enjoying himself looking at his fight

A disgusting irritation welled up in his heart due to the feeling of getting toyed with by a lesser being surfaced in his mind.

When he swayed his head, scanning through the darkness, at that time his ears perked up catching a faint sound of boot tapping the ground and a shiver crawled from his back, as a sinister presence finally unfolded itself before his eyes.
