Chapter 120 120:Deadly Crisis[II]
'Fuck, I am questioning my psychopath.'
Her behavior makes Leon question his nature.
'Before her psychopath tendencies, I am worth a fart.'
"Lady, why don't you calm down a bit? As a stranger, we should take things slow," Leon answered with a dry smile while calling the system in his mind.
'Breakthrough...Breakthrough...'
He would rather die than become a slave and be raped by this bitch.
[Advancement Condition]
Kill Points:1000
Counterattack points:250
Though he wanted to break thoughts immediately he wished he would delve deeper into Laws and break through on his own but it seems he can't for now.
"Is that so? Then let's get acquainted."She replied, pulling her arms while taking long strides.
"Any chance you are willing to become the slave of this beautiful lady? Let me tell you, I am not an ordinary Vampire girl. I have a chance of inheriting the throne. You can become the Prince Consort. And became the Vampire King."
"What?"Leon screamed aloud.
Her revelation struck her like thunder and a sudden realization dawned upon him.
'Maybe Terpas isn't a True Vampire but a slave and this might be what he was murmuring about. That means this woman let her servant get killed.'
Seeing Leon's expression, Seraphina thought he was doubting her identity.
"I am not lying? I swear on the name of Lady Nyx, The Goddess of Night."
Leon was taken aback by her frankness and pledge.
The most dangerous thing to bear was beauty, love and kindness...
Leon pulled out his Exitus taking his stance"If you want to pet me then you have to defeat me."
While doing this, he immediately shouted in his mind.
'Breakthrough!'
SWOOSH!
A feeling of euphoria coursed through his body stirring the winds but it went unnoticed in Seraphina's eyes who seemed to be submerged in a terrifying dark fantasy.
"I see. You are into sub-dom play."Seraphina let out a sigh as she shook her head."It's okay, we Vampires love that game so much. So, let's begin."
As she finished talking, the qi around was stirred and darkness began to gather beneath Leon's feet.
Leon immediately jumped back just in time to avoid a cluster of murky red hands that shot out from the ground. The humanoid arms made of blood-red energy clawed the air before sinking back into the ground.
Leon gripped his sword, covering it with his layer of qi and darkness. More murky blood energy started sipping out from the ground and gathered around her. She was a really difficult and tricky enemy to deal with.
Much of Leon's strength lay in reading about the opponent's power through careful observation and examination prior and then coming up with contingency plans but now he was fighting someone whose powers were unknown.
Before Seraphina could do what she wished for, Leon, deciding to strike, stabbed his sword forward.
BHAAM!
The air in front of Leon was torn apart akin to an intangible attack that couldn't be seen by the naked eyes. A highly concentrated beam of pressure in a straight line shot like a cannon puncturing its way through the air.
Leon watched as his attack dissolved instantly by a distorting power the moment it made contact with her.
Leon's first thought was to save Qi but he realized that he might die if keep on dragging things which he planned to do since the woman had no intention of killing but who knows if this woman with all screws loose decided to go for a kill.
Leon felt a rush of power into his body that heated up due to the influx and pumping of adrenaline.
If the situation arises, he might have to force another breakthrough to Martial King level which he didn't want to do as a sudden breakthrough and powerup one after another would create imbalance, and by the time he would be used to his new power, he might be done for by her.
"Don't struggle and embrace my love dear, "Seraphina effused as she crossed her raised arms, invoking dozens of vine-like arms appendages made of blood that erupted from the ground and shot around.
Leon's expression remained calm, her imposing intent no longer affected him as he released all his power and activated his Dragon eyes alas…
"Ohh! You look great in these golden eyes," Seraphina praised with a clap.
All it did was to make it more exciting.
Leon was a bit perplexed as for the first time his Draconic eyes didn't work but he didn't linger on it for longer.
BANG!
A small crater formed in the ground beneath his feet as he dashed towards the slender woman ignoring her attack.
In Leon's very eyes, time seemed to slow down. He ducked and swayed, dodging the vine-like hands that followed his movement, never breaking stride as he reached her. He was just mere inches apart yet the woman didn't even flinch.
Leon's first instinct is to swing the sword but her figure starts melting into shadows.
"Damn!"Leon cursed, halting his sudden motion and gasping heavily, seeing a cloud of blood-red steam explode blocking his vision.
A groan escaped from his lips as he was blasted away by the blood explosions.
Leon frowned as his body reacted immediately sending him to his knees as he felt his internal organs begin burning. Ceasing his breath, Leon glanced around searching for the woman who was an expert in slipping away.
'Where did she go?'
'Just where?'
He waited for the right opportunity to strike while fighting his body's unwillingness to stay conscious.
Gritting his teeth, Leon searched around with his heightened perception caused by Dragon's eyes still it was far from enough.
'Where is she? Where is she?'
Leon chanted those words like a spell rotating around but found no sign.
'NO LEON!Don't let her affect you.'
'I may be weak but that does not mean I am just a useless lamb. Power, I need to understand my power.'
Taking a pause, Leon started to analyze everything he had seen so far.
'First, she had no intention of killing. Secondly, she had blood power. Third, she had the power to appear and disappear anywhere...Wait, one time she emerged from a shadow..'
'Shadow....Darkness...'
Leon closed their eyes and waited for the right moment to strike.
Seconds seemed to be like hours, as he tried to sense the darkness fluctuating around.
Darkness…Shadows…
The world around Leon became dark and devoid of anything and in that darkness, his ears perked up as he felt a small stir.
Sensing something, with the last bit of energy, he triggered Nimbus's steps as he exploded the strength to his feet and struck his sword.
The sword cracked as it seemed to tear through the space imbued with dark energy and move to the image emerging to his left.
The force of his swing spread most of the blood covering that seemed to strike something sharp.
SWOOSH!
A powerful mass of pressure blasted everything as the tip of the sword touched something sharp followed by a sharp crisp sound resonating in the air.
A powerful gust bellowed, radiating a shockwave and the ground beneath his feet crumbled.
Then the entire forest seemed to have quietened down in fear as the only sound of metal cracking into pieces resonated in that place.
