[The {Desecrated Shadow King} gres at you.]
[Darkness overflows it all; those that are beyond salvation only pray to their deepest desires.]
[The King of the desecrated shadows of the damned asks you a question.]
[“Are you strong enough to go against someone willing to sacrifice everything for victory?”]
[“What would you sacrifice?”]
Vd saw the notifications appear, incapable of believing that the same nonsense as the Unending Crimson’s Raid was happening again!
However, this time it was in a much more twisted way; there was yet arange, mysterious entity talking to him, but he simply couldn’t care less.
Asthartez swung the staff he held, maniputing the giant Tier 6 Draic Beast to move its foot, trying to crush Vd like an i.
“Crush him!”
As Asthartez ahe beast moved, its crushing foot looming above Vd.
“Dammit, I don’t have time for this nonsense!”
Spending a few thousand Ara, Vd quickly enpassed his entire body in spiraling winds and flew away from the attack, which hit the ground below and shattered the paved floor.
BAAAM!
As Vd flew into the skies, a presence quickly appeared behind him: Asthartez, whose silver-colored metal enpassed the young man’s body and whose short blue hair waved by the wind.
“Where do you think yoing, my dear brother? Don’t you think it's ie to eve y brother?!”
With mog ughter, the crazed young vampire man swung a huge silver-colored katana he summoned out of the silver-colored metal he materialized, imbuing it with azure-colored electricity.
“{Thunder Bde Storm}!”
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
A storm of electrifying sshes reached Vd in the middle of the skies, engulfing his entire body in stant elemental explosions that rapidly created a storm, even making the clouds above rumble and tremble.
“Uuuggh…!”
“HAHAHA!”
Asthartez only ughed as he kicked Vd in the helmet, pushing him down with all the power he held. The crippled prince could only be sent down, falling like a meteor and impag the ground with a huge explosion geed from all the electricity burning his body stantly.
BOOOM!
For a moment, everything became pletely bnk for Vd; he couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t evehe beating of his heart, his armor’s durability was already almost halfway gone, and his entire body looked like it had been almost calated.
Bones broken, muscles torn apart, his internal ans twisted and crushed—from his eyes, mouth, and ears, there was only blood ing out; he eve like his skull had gained a huge cra the middle of his forehead.
“A-Aaahhh…! W-Why is this… happening out of nowhere?”
Crimson ruarted glowing across his white skin, and as a Blood Power Aura slowly began te from his body, his regeion speed was hastened, rapidly regeing his lethal damage much faster than ever before.
“Hahhh… Hahhh…”
As he was gasping for air, Vd slowly stood up again, grabbing his magic sword and gng at the sky, where Asthartez was being attacked, distracted by Chris and two magic wolves he had summoned made out of holy light and fire.
“Leave him alone, you fuck!”
His trident fshed around the skies, stantly striking Asthartez from left, right above, and below, yet the armor enpassing Vd’s brother, made of silver metal, easily intercepted the blows, proteg him from them.
However, the reason why he was being primarily slowed down was because of the endless barrage of elemental arrows being fired at him and a series of small explosions that were stantly burning, freezing, or slig his skin and flesh.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“Just who are you?!” Asthartez roared angrily. “You dare stand in the way of my battle against that crippled good-for-nothing?! BEGONE!”
With a siep, Asthartez reached Chris, whose entire body was imbued with electricity. His giant katana swung down against the incubus, who panicked but was uo react.
“Chris!”
Vd immediately jumped from the skies to stop Asthartez, only to see a bzing and ghostly power emerge from Chris body, repelling the deadly attack with a hair!
BOOOM!
“Ugh?!”
Not only that, but the damage Asthartez would have dealt to Chris was fired back at him, c his body with deadly cursed fmes that were able to easily move around his body, taking advantage of the parts he couldn’t cover with his silver metal.
“Aaaagggh! It burns like hell!”
As Asthartez screamed and Vd drew closer, the crippled vampire prince smiled.
“Right! Chris equipment has that ability!”
Chris was barely saved from his amazing equipment and its ability that triggered the {Bzing Phantom Bzing Bat Veil}, the ability to help him repel two lethal attacks a day and then reflect 10% of the damage the lethal attack would have dealt back at the user.
“SHYAAAH!”
But that wasn’t all, as Chris Aura of fmes left his body, suddenly turning into a huge, teer-tall demonic bat made of ghostly fmes, r ferociously.
The {Bzing Phantom Bzing Bat Veil} Ability also had the ability to Summon the [Bzing Phantom Bat Queen], a Familiar born from the lethal blow that was repelled, carrying 50% of Alitheus Stats and also the stats of the equipment itself to calcute its total power.
“You filthy summoner!”
With an angered, wrathful scream, Asthartez quickly sshed apart the bat queen flying towards him, only for the bat queen’s halves to fuse back together behind him, her giant talons grabbing his shoulders as she pummeled him down with tremendous ford speed.
“Yeah, fug get him!”
Chris celebrated as Asthartez was crushed into the ground as a huge explosion of cursed ghostly fmes engulfed him pletely.
His metal could protect him from most damage, but it didn’t insute him from temperatures; every part of his body covered by the metal was now boiling, cooking him alive!
“Gryyyaaagggh!”
As Asthartez struggled to destroy the familiar, Vd reached Alitheus.
“Chris! I got worried there for a sed. Thank God I made that equipment like that…” sighed Vd.
"Yeah, don’t worry, we got this! Let’s fuck him up together!” Chris wi him. “Is this the brother you talked about? He’s sure a nasty motherfucker!”
“…And you sure got a sharp tongue yourself, dear Alitheus,” sighed Vd. “Ahem, but… Let me handle him on my own.”
“What?! Are you serious? He was sweeping the floor with you, dude!” Chris said.
“I know, but… This is a personal vea, something that Vd must solve on his own accord,” sighed Paul. “Call me dumb if you want. I know this is stupid, but... The butlers weren’t the only thing Asthartez did to Vd; the character I’ve bee… has been abused by this bastard for years.”
“Huh…” Chris muttered. “Okay, but if you get almost killed, I’ll help.”
“Thanks; actually, I really need you to go help out Vd’s mom,” said Vd. “Asthartez said his mother went to fight her! And I am pretty sure Vd’s mother is not as strong as she used to be after her long slumber in the coffin. And based on what I’ve been seeing, Asthartez and his mother have received the help of someone or something… yers, if we die, it’s not like it’s the end of the world. Even if we o wait six months for a new character creation but… Teressa will die permaly. She’s a highly advanced AI, a person, and…”
“Okay, okay! I get it; I’ll leave now!” Chris ughed. “But don’t let that dude bully you anymore! Use the power of the heavenly demon!”
“Ah, nah, I got something different to deal with him for now,” Vd seemed fident. “He’s about to free himself by now; go!”
“Yeah!”
Chris flew across the skies, looking for Teressa and then finding her and joining her in her battle.
At the same time, Asthartez stood up again, the staff in his hands glowing as the Draic Beast roared again.
“ROOOAAARR!”
Its giant, bde-like tail swung rapidly, aiming at Vd! The vampire prince quickly put his sword in front of him, barely being able to block the immeack as he unleashed a powerful bzing teique, summoning a sed sword made out of a Bzing Doppelganger.
“{Dual Bzing Bde Arts}: {Dual Style: Fme Dragon Dance}!”
“ROOOAAAR!”
By mixing Soul Ether and Martial Arts into the equation, Vd mao reach a new level of swordsmanship, even if slightly. The roar of a mighty ese dragon echoed from an aura of bzing Soul Ether and Ara biogether.
CRAAASH!
And then a huge downward, spiraling blow with both swords blocked the gigantic bde tail, pushing it down with all the force Vd could muster. With a huge explosion of fmes, several cracks appeared over the tail’s enormous bde attached to it using a lot of ropes.
“Where is he?!”
However, there wasn’t any time to rex for him yet.
CLASH!
Asthartez’s enormous silver-colored katana, charged with electricity, swung down, hitting Vd’s swords, which were barely trying to block his immense, electrifying strength.
“Where did that cockroach go?! How dare that oner sully me in such a way?”
Asthartez was barking nonsense, obsessed with “keeping appearances” as a noble, instead of even g about the battle in hand.
This could only meahing, actually.
He was looking down on Vd.
“He’s gone!”
Vd roared, pushing forward as the Blood Runes c his entire body tio glow with crimson light. His golden blood aura tio grow stronger.
“Asthartez, are you sure you want to keep looking down on me?!”
Without hesitating and surprising Asthartez, Vd unleashed a barrage of sword attacks imbued with only fmes, stantly trying to boil his brother alive beh his silver armor. Asthartez was easily keeping up with him and his amateur-level swordsmanship, but the fmes kept accumuting, slowing him down.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Where is this strength of his ing from?!” thought Asthartez. “A few days ago, he was nothing but a cripple! Is it the armor or his sword?! They’re both exceptional, but even then- UGH!”
Asthartez waved his staff as the Draic Beast roared. In that moment, he imbued Blood Power into his entire body and charged against Vd, blog most of his fire with his steel. Even as his skih boiled and burned, he didn’t care.
“RAAAH!”
With a furious roar, he kicked Vd down with a powerful strike, making him fall from the skies while his entire body was stantly beirocuted.
At the same time, the Draic Beast opes jaws, charging purple and red-colored fmes into its jaws, unleashing another devastating dragoh against him.
“DIE!”
Vd’s crimson eyes squinted as he saw the fmes approach; his hands moved as his bzing sword fused with the other two bzing Doppelgangers he summoned, glowing and being blue-colored.
“I’ve been hit by this two times already; don’t think it’s going tain!”
“{Dual Bzing Bde Arts}: {Dual Style: Fme Dragon Dance}!”
He spun around at the same time as the on of purple and red fmes impacted him. The dance of the fme dragon absorbed the immense amount of fmes ing towards him, as he quite literally trolled the fire, making it spin around him, geing a huge storm.
FLUOOOSH!
“What?!”
Asthartez was left speechless, gritting his teeth as he charged his katana with eleagiergy and moved down, aiming to cut Vd into two halves.
But it was too te, and even worse, he had ehe range Vd just wanted him to get into.
“You see, my brother... I am no lohe same cripple you once mocked,” Vd’s words echoed.
“{Geomancy}: {Cursed Fire Dragon Storm}”
FLASH!
Out of nowhere, the tornado of purple and red fmes took the shape of a huge dragon, opening its maws and engulfing Asthartez into a searing hell of burning fmes.
“T-This is impossible! Since when…?! How are you…! AAAAGGGH!”
Asthartez tried to escape the dragon, but it was futile; the eapletely captured him, trapping him inside an endlessly spinning storm of fmes.
His body rapidly burned stantly as he attempted to protect himself and regee. Vd closed his fists, pletely unleashing the Spell and terminating it.
“VLAAAAD! YOU BASTAAAARD!”
Asthartez screamed in utter disbelief and fury as the fmes rapidly pressed around his body.
“Burn in hell, brother.”
BOOOMMM!!!
