Five Vampires charged in Marceline's direction, attacking her all at once. Even Raizel didn't expect that they would try to attack Marceline while she was distracted. She was facing her werewolf fighters when the five vampires took a move.
Launching a sneaky attack, the vampires closed the gaps between them and Marceline through their vampiric speed. They swung their arms, scratching and slashing Marceline's back using their sharp nails.
One vampire jumped on her back, riding her. Then she grabbed Marceline's head, holding her in place. The other vampire thrust his arm, burying his sharp nails into her flesh.
Howl!
Marceline got hurt. She started to bleed from the different parts of her body. The werewolf fighters were about to charge and attack the vampires but Marceline continued stopping them with her sharp gaze.
[ I said… Back Off!!! ]
They couldn't understand her. She was getting attacked by vampires but still, she was stopping them from fighting the vampires.
[ Princess Stella! You are hurt! ]
The werewolf fighters growled seeing their werewolf princess bleed. But Stella was stronger than those vampires. She just leaped, shaking her body until she pushed off the vampire who was riding her back.
She also kicked the two vampires from her rear side. She didn't use her sharp teeth to attack the other two. She growled at them and the two vampires were immobilized because of Intense fear.
Everyone witnessed how fast Marceline's wound healed. It recovered quickly as if she didn't get hurt at all.
'I knew it. A simple wound inflicted by our vampire soldiers won't affect her…' Raizel thought to himself. They should have attacked her in her human form. With Marceline's wolf form, vampire soldiers were no match at all.
"Try to compel her, Lord Raizel," One vampire suggested.
But Raizel's compelling ability was not that powerful as compared to Victoria and Kira. His ability was a bit different from theirs.
At this moment, Raizel stepped forward. "Retreat. You are no match for her. I will deal with her myself. Go and find your Lady Victoria. Assist and protect her," Raizel ordered the vampire soldiers.
The vampires had no choice but to obey their leader. They immediately dispersed to look for Victoria, leaving Raizel behind. When the vampire soldiers disappeared, Marceline also commanded her werewolf fighters to leave.
The two powerful creatures were now facing each other alone. It seemed that Raizel was ready to attack Marceline at any time. He circled her, changing directions with his vampiric speed. Marceline used her super senses to match up his speed.
Stella, Marceline's werewolf form, jumped from one place to another as she avoided Raizel's attacks. He had been using his speed to dominate the fight. His poisonous nails and his vampire bite would be fatal to Marceline.
He swung his arms from left to right, thrusting forward as he aimed for her eyes, her neck, and her chest. Raizel didn't hesitate to attack Marceline because he believed that all werewolves were their enemies.
Kira was not there to stop him. He had to eliminate Marceline before she became a threat to Kira's life once again. She would just become Kira's weakness. Raizel thought that if Marceline would be gone, no one would hold Kira back from fighting the werewolf clan, especially Dominique and Serena.
They were supposed to get their revenge by killing Dominique, but Kira changed his mind for Marceline's sake. He didn't kill him because he was Marceline's father.
'Forgive me, Kira. But I have to kill your woman… otherwise, you will be the one to be killed by her clan.' Raizel apologized to Kira in his mind. He would shoulder these consequences. He was prepared to face Kira's anger and hatred.
On the other hand, Marceline and Stella were trying their best to avoid and block Raizel's attack. They were only on the defensive side. Marceline had no plan of hurting Raizel. She knew that Raizel was a very important friend of Kira.
Growl- [ "Please stop this already, Rai. Kira doesn't want to see us fighting! I don't want to hurt you!" ]
Marceline tried to convince Raizel but her plea fell on deaf ears. Raizel wouldn't spare her. "This is a war, Marceline. Don't blame me for doing this. This is also for the sake of my best friend, Kira. I have to eliminate you otherwise, he will be taken advantage of by his mortal enemy once more."
Raizel was finally able to find her blind spot. Grabbing Marceline's tail, Raizel pulled her and swung his fist, burying his nails into her flesh.
Slash!!!
Marceline groaned in pain when her body was stabbed by Raizel's sharp nails. Raizel pinned her on the ground as he pounced on her. His hand was still buried in her flesh. His other hand caught Marceline by her neck.
'Aaaah!' Marceline was experiencing excruciating pain. Raizel was able to damage her internal organs. She spat some blood. She could feel Raizel's dominating power. He was on a different level.
Raizel twisted his arm as he thrust it deeper into her body. He was aiming for Marceline's heart. He planned to crush it using his arm.
Marceline's amber eyes were staring at Raizel intently. She could see that there was no hint of hesitation in Raizel's eyes. He was determined to kill her.
'Kira… I don't want to hurt your best friend… but… he is hell-bent to kill me. What should I do? Should I fight back?' Marceline hadn't made up her mind yet. In this life-and-death situation, Marceline was still contemplating whether she should fight Raizel or not.
'Will I fail? Making a truce with the vampire clan is not easy. I need you, Kira… I need your help… I can't do this alone. Where are you, Ki?' Marceline slammed her eyes shut, calling Kira. She just wished Kira would appear and stop them from fighting.
"Are you calling Kira?" Raizel could somehow hear her wishful thinking. He let out a sarcastic laugh and said, "Kira will never show up here. You won't be able to see him or even say goodbye to him. I put Kira into his deep sleep. It will take another thousand years before he wakes up."
Both Marceline and Stella were taken aback when they heard that. [ "What did you do to Kira? Where is he? Did you hurt him?" ] Marceline's eyes set ablaze just thinking that Raizel did something to Kira.
With those thoughts in mind, Marceline found her courage and her reason to fight back. With her strength, she struggled against Raizel's grasp, shaking him off her. Raizel was thrown away several meters from Marceline when she kicked him.
Raizel coughed some blood as Marceline hit his abdomen so hard. That was a powerful kick coming from Marceline. Her claw marks could be found on his tummy.
Growl! Growl!
Marceline was now standing on all fours. Her wound was still bleeding. Her healing ability slowed down because of Raizel's poisoned nails.
"Heh, so you changed your mind. You are going to fight back now." Raizel said mockingly. He licked the blood on the corners of his lips.
Growl- [ "Where is Kira! Answer me, Raizel! Did you hurt him!! I won't forgive you if something happened to him." ]
No more hesitation left! Marceline leaped forward, charging into Raizel's direction.
