Chapter 328 Zero's Trump Card
After Arthur leaves, I decide to head to Jill's chamber. Crouching simply, my thighs and calves bulge and expand, and in a flash, I shoot into the sky, moving at the speed of sound.
Reaching Mom's chamber, I notice surprising events occurring, making me open my mouth in amazement.
The scene that appears before my eyes now is where Zamira is fighting against five vampire warlocks and another warlock who seems to be someone I recognize.
"Zero… that bastard!" I exclaim, gritting my teeth. "He saved me once and I really appreciate his kindness, however, I also spared his life by not killing him after conspiring with the Sanguine family. However, I hate it when someone goes after my woman and not me," I muse as my heart sinks upon seeing Zamira covered in wounds, she seems to be unconscious but she keeps fighting nonetheless with her instincts.
Grabbing the hilt of my sword, I send a powerful wave of aura into it, thus, also causing an enormous amount to seep out.
Feeling the killing intent emanating from me, the warlocks and Zero pause in their tracks and raise their heads, terror struck in their faces. However, it's too late!
"Guida!" I shout, brandishing my sword before throwing it like a spear towards the warlocks with great force.
BOOM!!!
A huge explosion goes off as the sword hits the ground, emitting a blast of aura directed at the vampire warlocks.
Using God's eyes, I see that Zamira leaps backwards unconsciously even though she's not affected by the wave while Zero on the other hand uses some fancy footwork to move agily around the field avoiding the blast while shielding himself with Ki. However, he also received a small amount of damage.
Looking back at the warlocks with a strange aura, they are standing on their feet dead, their bodies slowly disintegrating into dust for some reason.
"They really expend their life force for power. They were a few minutes from dying eventually," I mutter as I spectate the vampires turn into nothing but dust.
Descending in a flash, I land softly on the ground and remove Excalibur which is still stuck into the ground, a small amount of aura still radiating from it.
Then I look at Zero who's about to escape as he takes off into the air after throwing a smoke bomb, clouding my vision and rendering God's eyes somewhat useless.
"Not so fast… Mr assassin!" I shout, shooting into the sky too, chasing him from behind.
For some reason, I notice that Zero is using everything he has to move faster than me as a strange jetpack of some sort appears on his back as if he equipped it from his space ring. The jetpack boots his speed about Mach 10, giving me a huge gap.
Seeing his move and the wide grin plastered on his face as he turns his head to mock me, I shake my head.
"People just don't learn…"
"Astral walk; Spacewalk…" I mutter, and the next moment, I feel a chunk of my aura leave my body; about half of it.
Not minding the amount of aura it cost me, I straighten my palm and form it into a straight shape as If I want to chop something.
Raising my palm a little bit, I swing it downward in a very swift motion, cutting the very fabric of reality as I tear a pocket space in front of me.
Without wasting time, I enter it and appear several miles away from Zero's location. Unbeknownst to Zero, he continues to fly in my direction without noticing as I conceal myself within the cloud.
Taking a deep breath, I muster every last bit of my Ki and condense it into my right fist. Due to my actions, I can feel my right hand bulge and flow with tremendous power as if it's about to burst.
As Zero gets closer with the intent that I am no longer chasing him, he lowers his guard and continues to fly towards my direction with full thrust. As he gets closer, I raise my fist and position it backward, ready to unleash it.
As he arrives in my position, I thrust my fist forward and land it on his face.
BANG!!!
With full force, my fists explode on his face, causing his head to explode and his body to fly backward toward Jill's chamber with great force.
Looking at my hand, I notice that my fist shattered because I gathered such an enormous amount of Ki in one part of my body for too long, but I don't care about my injuries as I chase after Zero's body since it's healing at a rapid pace.
Drawing closer to Zero's body, I notice something strange, making me shocked. Zero's head is regenerating, and there seems to be an evil grin on his face.
"STUPID VAMPIRE… HAHAHAHA!!!" Zero burst into a loud laugh hysterically, laughing like a maniac.
"So, you have a life-saving treasure huh…." I mutter as I am still in shock about his regeneration even though I killed him. If I hadn't witnessed one of these life-saving treasures before, I wouldn't have believed my eyes right now.
Myra has given me one before and it really came in handy. However, life-saving treasures are extremely rare and super expensive to get. They are one of the most sought-after things in the world. As long as they have one, they would be revived if they were killed. If only I had one of those in the past.
But… this bastard, where did he get one?!!!
"I guess I just have to kill you again!" I bellow, activating my gravity ability, thus, dragging him into the ground since he's at close range.
Descending to the ground, I slam both of my fists into his stomach with great force and start swirling my whole body like a tornado, albeit with my blood aura.
Seeing him dead, I put his corpse into my inventory and let out a sigh, wiping the perspiration on my forehead.
"It's been a while since I last sweat since I am cold-blooded. I have to admit, even though he is an easy opponent, he is pretty tough," I mutter, preparing to take to the sky. However, something causes me to freeze in my position.
"Did you say something about me being tough?" Zero says, his body slowly forming in the sky above me.
This….
