Eric was shocked. Well, the priest wasn’t shocked because of the amazing power of his companion. He already seemed to know that this guy was a monster from the get-go. Even though I had never heard of him before, the other priests around him were also shocked, but not of the strength of Leon nor the catastrophe he left behind, even less because he was chasing me down while I swiftly evaded every attack he threw at me. He was amazed because of another obvious reason.
And this reason was the Vampires!
Eric… I don’t know anything about him, but he seems to not have seen Vampires before. He felt fearful of their very presence, unlike the bold and strong Leon, who seemed fearless against death. He was more of a “normal” human, so he felt fear when he saw what he saw. Not going to lie. I would also shit myself if I saw three Vampires. But well, I am a ghost, so I didn’t.
“V-Vampires! Here?! We already saw a ghost woman… is this entire forest cursed? Wait, is this village of goblins? There’s nothing! Ah! Could it be? Were they eaten by the vampires?!” Shouted Eric in horror, looking at the blood-covered Vampires, whose blood was actually their own, which they used to attack.
They ended up covered in their own blood that way, weird, right? But that’s how ridiculous these fellows are.
Leon noticed that Eric was going insane over it and slapped him in the face.
“Priest Eric, get your shit together!” Leon shouted, slapping the priest.
The priest’s eyes quickly opened wide in horror as he looked at the Vampires.
“If we let them kill us, that’s it. We’ll be over!” He shouted again.
Well, yeah, sherlock, you’ll die if you’re killed.
“We have to slay these Vampires… in the name of the god of light, my lord,” Said the priests.
“Indeed!” Said another.
“But can we…?! Agh! There is no time to think such things. We must hurry and slay them for good… with the power of holy light. We can slay them!” Shouted Eric as he quickly took out some blue pills from his pocket and ate them, enhancing his mana regeneration and recovering a lot of mana too.
“Let’s do it…!” Shouted Leon.
He also ate these pills. I would guess they were an easier way to drink mana potions… let’s call them mana pills.
The other three Vampires quickly gathered together once more. The lackeys of Catarina flew to help her out but only received her fists as they were thrown away helplessly. This gorilla woman didn’t want any help from them. In fact, she was extremely battle junkie-like, something you’ll never expect of a Vampire, who are supposed to be refined and all of that crap, right?
I guess because she’s kind of an Elite, they let her be as crazy as she comes. And our plan? Well, our plan is simple. We are going to stay here and watch them kill each other, and after that, we’ll pick up whoever survived in the end! That’s my master plan, not doing anything!
It was very convenient that these two idiots confronted one another, so let’s see how the battle turns out.
Leon was surprisingly strong even without his damn ax and punched Catarina into the distance with utmost ease. I believe there might be a chance for him to win. Maybe… if he combines the holy light of priest Eric with his powerful blows, there might be a chance.
But then again, Catarina quickly recovered the HP she lost. She was a monster amongst monsters and a Vampiress to boot. Her regeneration speed was outstanding, even cutting her in half might not kill her as she’ll just grow a new pair of legs.
And this was exactly why the Vampires were tough to kill. I had slain two of them because they were actually weak ass idiots, but this woman is different. She had actually trained herself and had reached the limits of strength that Vampires are able to reach, completely surpassing human common sense.
Her strength is capable of shaping the whole continent. Come on. She’s just insane.
But Leon is just as insane of a man…
A tigress against a lion… who will win?
I was spectating this with a smile. Although the situation was dire as hell, I couldn’t help but feel motivated while looking at this.
“You’re dead….” Catarina said, flying towards Leon in an instant.
Her Blood Aura encompassed her entire body, shaped as a groaning and angered wolf rather than the tigress I see her as.
The massive Wolf made out of her Blood Aura roared loudly as it encompassed her entire body. Her strength was evolving once more and upgrading itself through the roof. She reached Leon and began to throw fists into his face right away.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Leon was overwhelmed from the get-go, as the fists that Catarina was able to unleash were powerful and incredibly fast. He was left to her mercy as his face was twisting around in pain with each of her fists.
Was this hopeless for him from the very beginning? Damn, psycho mercenary, I am cheering for you!
However, Leon quickly unleashed his aura, which was golden, the same color as the aura his axe had. Combining his muscle strength and his mastery in combat and then unleashing the various techniques and skills he had, he began intercepting Catarina’s blows. The entire sky and earth shattered before their might, their clashes cracking their surroundings.
Meanwhile, the three Priests and the other two Vampires looked at the scene in shock. Come on, do something too, you lazy asses! Priests, kill the damn Vampires. They’re right there!
Eric was more intelligent and quickly got it. He began to gather magic and the man within him alongside his two surviving Priests, as the trio unleashed a combined spell, abusing how the Vampires were just looking and doing nothing at all.
A massive beam of holy light reached one floating in the sky!
