Chapter 122 - 121 Another Strange Vampire
Chapter 122: Chapter 121 Another Strange Vampire
Kutena had no desire to clash with Lis and swiftly dodged the incoming ice cones, knowing that conserving even a little bit of strength was important at this time.
Seeing Kutena’s relentless pursuit, Lis felt helpless.
“Big brother, I’m just watching the show, do you have to be so ruthless?”
But turning tail and running wasn’t his style, and Lis, with plenty of life-saving tricks up his sleeve, actually wanted to try his hand at a fight.
After all, the evil aura emanating from Kutena was quite prominent in Lis’s eyes.
Conversely, another vampire’s scent of fresh blood was rich but didn’t give Lis much of an evil impression.
...
Lis wasn’t one to abhor evil so passionately, but he was ready to intervene if it was convenient.
Anyway, the other vampire would soon be arriving.
Telling Angela, who was perched on his shoulder, to hold back for now, Lis waved his magic wand.
Four Rings Magic “Binding Net”!
A giant web radiating silvery-white light emerged in mid-air and shot towards Kutena.
Lis’s goal was simple, to just delay Kutena for a while.
Kutena’s expression darkened to the extreme as he saw the huge net flying towards him.
In his view, a little Silver Level Mage daring to resist was courting death.
With a wave of his remaining arm, a sharp blood-colored energy blade sliced Lis’s “Binding Net” in half, continuing its momentum towards Lis.
After shattering several of Lis’s shield spells in succession, the Blood Blade finally dissipated into the air.
Lis was taken aback, truly, a Gold Level powerhouse’s strike still required his full effort to defend against.
Without any hesitation, Lis used spells one after another to hinder Kutena’s advance.
Four Rings Magic “Falling Stone Skill”!
Four Rings Magic “Ice Storm”!
Although the combination of these two spells wasn’t very powerful, their ability to restrict the enemy’s movements was exceptionally effective.
Dodging the falling stones imbued with magic power and feeling his speed greatly reduced within the stormy winds mixed with snowflakes, Kutena was growing desperate.
Marion had recovered from the self-destruction of his body and was rapidly approaching; there was no time to entangle with this human Mage any longer.
With a fierce determination, Kutena gathered the sparse blood light around him, and a huge blood-red claw materialized in front of him.
Blood Magic “Sacrificial Blood Flame Claw”!
This was Kutena’s all-out move; after forming the Blood Claw, the blood-colored spirit light surrounding him had become barely visible.
Upon seeing the Blood Claw, Lis knew it wasn’t something he could withstand at the moment, and even Angela would struggle to block it.
It was, after all, the life-risking strike of a Gold Level strongman.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lis infused magic power into the “Stephen’s Teleportation Ring” he was wearing, activating the Seven-Circle Magic “Dimension Shield” within it.
An invisible, colorless space partition appeared around Lis’s body, as if he were in a separate space altogether.
When Kutena saw his Blood Claw, which exhausted most of his strength, shatter into nothingness before this Mage without making the slightest ripple, his body, ready to charge through, froze in place.
“What is going on, I…”
Before Kutena could regain his composure, an arm pierced through his chest, the hand holding his still-beating heart.
“Heh, how dull.”
Marion withdrew his hand from Kutena’s chest with a smile. Kutena’s body, like a ripped sack, fell from the sky, turning into a pile of black ashes before even hitting the ground and scattered in the air.
With Kutena’s heart in hand, Marion’s smile widened yet a few degrees.
“Oh dear, I didn’t expect to stumble upon such a fine prey while out for a stroll; lucky me.”
This person… must have issues with his mind!
Lis concluded in his heart, feeling somewhat cautious.
From the conversation just now and Mora’s intelligence, this guy had clearly been chasing after the Gold Level Vampire to kill it, and now he’s talking about good luck.
Marion glanced at the Gold Level Vampire heart in his hand, which was still radiating a rich and pure blood energy.
Should he keep it as a gift for the Divine Son?
Marion thought as much, but then shook his head.
This Vampire heart was only average, and due to being heavily injured, the fresh blood energy within it was constantly diminishing; he estimated it wouldn’t last until he found the Divine Son.
Don’t waste it!
Marion smiled as he, bite by bite, swallowed the entire fresh red heart into his stomach, and a trace of rosiness seemed to appear on his pale face.
Lis watched the gruesome scene unfold before him expressionlessly, feeling no ripples in his heart.
What a joke, he had seen far worse in his previous life—where was this in comparison?
After Marion finished eating the heart, he descended from the air.
Standing in front of Lis, Marion placed his right hand on his chest and performed an elegant and standard noble courtesy, saying:
“Thank you very much for your help, my name is Marion Corren. May I ask, how should I address you?”
Marion was very polite, his elegant demeanor was a stark contrast from just moments ago.
Marion was keenly aware that the young Silver Mage before him was not simple; he felt a legendary aura emanating from the Mage.
As strong as, or even stronger than, His Highness Prince Burns!
Although sometimes he was offbeat, Marion was very clear about who he could touch and who he couldn’t afford to provoke.
“Hello, my name is Lis Kain, and what I did just now was nothing more than a small effort.”
Lis gave a nod, maintaining respect for the Gold Level strength, but he couldn’t help wondering to himself.
Another very strange Vampire has appeared.
“May I ask what you were doing just now…”
Looking at the ashes of Kutena, Marion laughed and said:
“Just dealing with some scum that betrayed our ancestor, nothing significant.”
As he said this, Marion glanced at Angela, who was lying on Lis’s shoulder, and narrowed his eyes.
A white… bat, a Magic Beast maybe?
Marion didn’t feel anything special about Angela, nor did he notice a scent similar to that of those traitors.
Shaking his head, Marion didn’t take Angela seriously.
He was quite busy after having spent several days in Bright City without finding any trace of the Divine Son.
Marion slightly inclined in a bow, saying to Lis:
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”
“The Kingdom and Church folks will arrive soon, and I don’t wish to meet with them, so I will be leaving.”
“I hope there’s a chance to see you again, Mr. Lis.”
After finishing, Marion disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only the ruined streets around that confirmed that an intense battle had indeed taken place just now.
Seeing the several civilians lying on the ground groaning, Lis did not step forward to heal them but instead walked into a nearby alley to leave the scene.
The City Guard Army would be arriving soon, and those people would receive treatment.
It was better for him to leave first, to avoid any trouble!
