Chapter 111: What a Horrifying Monster

The powers Kyros summoned and imbued on his sword were even greater than those he had revealed back when he fought his grandfather.

The level up increased his strength, and the curses that bound his control in darkness have weakened. As a result, it was easier for him to control the darkness, and now he could channel a more potent energy. His mastery and the power of darkness that he had now far surpassed the control and power that any Vampire Emperor could ever control.

Kyros wielded the darkness to contain and control the elements from the two elemental cores.

The orbs suddenly disappeared, and the Vermillion Earth Sword appeared on Kyros's hands.

The orc saw it and sneered.

"Ha Ha Ha! That power is not enough to breach this Blood Wall!" The orc had experienced Kyros's first attack, which sliced off his arm. He knew that the Kyros now had the strength to breach his bodily defenses. But the Blood Wall was another story.

The orc continued to increase the wall's power as he held on to the ax stabbed on the ground with one hand to send more of the blood he acquired there.

The wall became thicker. At first, it was like a semi-transparent red glass that kept on spinning. But now, it has become more formidable and became a wall.

Kyros completed his charge.

"The Green Dragon and the Bronze Dragon shall rise, and the sun shall be broken!" Kyros vowed, and he began to move.

The power that reached level forty was moving and began to approach the wall.

The orc concentrated and braced for the impact, focusing every fiber of his concentration into the wall.

Then the attack began...

"Twin Dragons Strike the Sun!" Kyros shouted.

RUBBLE... RUBBLE...RUBBLE...

Two fists rose and broke through the dirt from the knee-deep dirt mound surrounding the orc.

A green fist and an orange-like earthen fist punched out as the bodies of two golems surfaced and delivered a terrifying uppercut.

These two fists rose, and the large orc that was fixated on channeling the Blood Energy into the ax, which was the medium for creating a Blood Totem. As such, he did not see these two fist strikes headed for his groin.

POW! POW!

Smashing.

"HLLLKKKKK!!!"

The unprepared and undefended groin suffered a tremendous trauma as Mardock channeled all the Entropy magic he had into that fist. The golem pair aimed for the part of the orc that was most undefended. The orcs, who shared a similar anatomical placement of their organs and the reproductive system, would naturally feel the pain even if they were undead.

He could not even scream from the castrating punch but quietly bent down to search for his life jewels but realized that his son was gone.

RUBBLE...RUBBLE...RUBBLE...

Another figure emerged from the dirt mound, grabbed the ax on the ground, and pulled it out.

The red energy attacked the golem, but the golem did not mind the deterioration caused by holding the ax and continued on pulling it out.

Another Golem appeared and pulled it out, and the pair was able to remove the ax.

As the two did, they began to crumble from the blood energy that attacked them. But in their final moments, the Blood Wall collapsed.

The Coven and Diana saw how the golems were already inside.

"You summoned them during the Caravan Crash?" Martha guessed.

"You got it! Genius right? He was so fixated on my attack that he didn't see the two dragons breaking his twin suns."

Kyros casually walked inside the perimeter and touched the ax.

"I'll admit... the taste of your queen's blood is quite something! The power of the Succubus has awakened my dormant powers..." Kyros laughed as he rushed and attacked the red ax with the sword.

BOOM!

A distant cry of a pained woman echoed out as Kyros struck the ax. The red blood rebelled and tried to fight back.

The orc also howled in pain as it felt a strange connection to the attack on the ax but then could sense the call of the blood to attack Kyros.

"I'll... Kill..."

POW!

The golems began to pound the orc.

Kyros was panting after the attack. The blood on the ax kept on trembling and raging.

"Too bad you are just a Totem. This ax will be a powerful weapon once I remove your spirit. I should have weakened you enough!" Kyros raised his hands and gathered the darkness.

"[Devour]!" Kyros activated that ability.

Darkness appeared and began to consume the blood that was on the ax. The Blood tried to flee and began to move out of the ax, but the strange darkness wouldn't let it go.

"AHHHH!" The large orc felt a painful sensation as if a part of his flesh was being peeled off.

"This is a neat power. But not as cool as Deception." Kyros laughed.

With Oration and Taunt and the awakening of the charm and alluring call of a succubus, Kyros learned a powerful skill. 

[Deception] was not just an average lie. It was the utilization of his powers from the Charmed Fallen.

All that Kyros said deceived the enemy. From the strategy he announced the Coven should do, Diana's injury, the announcement of his powerful attack, all of it led the orc into falling into various traps.

The large orc expected a melee of four-on-four, excluding the level 30 knight. But he got a [Knight's Charge] an archer ambush from the powerful bows of Martha who didn't use the Blood sword she made but stuck in using her original bow. That same archer used a strange arrow coated in poisonous material that sniped the orc that was sent flying from Diana's charge.

And just when he thought he would clash with Kyros, somehow a caravan and some carts full of dirt and stones appeared and absorbed all the attack. He received countless wounds, and his bones were even fractured from trying to blow away several tons' worth of dirt and stone.

There were two golems, one earthen-orange and a green orange, that kept on punching and attacking the orc. As the orc was too weakened from the constant pain that was assailing his soul, he couldn't even dodge or block the attacks. The strength in his arms had been growing weaker and weaker.

But after several punches, the earthen golem collapsed as its fist gave in to the wild red blood on its fist corroded it.

Only Mardock remained as the blood splattered on Mardock's fist would get eaten up by the entropy.

The Coven and Diana surrounded the large orc and observed.

"Can anyone tell me what's happening now?" Diana asked.

"The blood is losing all vitality and is now eating the flesh of the orc. This is why the orc is too weak to fight. This is the weakness of this blood art." Kyros explained.

"Not that! I thought we were doomed! But it seems your Coven knew that you could fight back! What happened?"

"Sorry about that, mom!" Kyros chuckled.

"You don't have the Dark Link, so I was unable to inform you.

"Ever since the start of the battle, Lord Kyros had already told us to trust him. Of course, we were trying to run away for real and were being nearly killed. But we've always had the impression that this was part of his plan. He even told us to give a few of our limbs." Avary answered.

"That wasn't hard. Those zombies could've really killed us!" Scarlet sighed.

"That was all part of the plan to make it look like we were losing. Thank you for your bravery, guys." Kyros thanked the three who gave up their limbs in that fight.

"You trust your lord so much that you kept fighting! Even when they took away your arm!"

"And my leg." Avary pointed.

"And my ax!" Grugnyr raised his wrecked ax.

"This was all part of Lord Kyros's plan. Since the start, he had it all under control." Martha assured Diana.

"You guys are making me blush." Kyros laughed as he extended his arm to the orc.

"Your mistake was creating a Blood Totem which kept releasing that wall. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to directly eat on your Queens blood due to the ferocity of the blood. But now... [Devour]!" Kyros began the attack on the orc as the blood on the ax had already been drained.

The orc began to shout in pain.

"Huh? I leveled up twice already!" Martha noticed it.

"Me too!" Scarlet was delighted.

"Its Blood Bond. Not just you. But even Gregory and the rest should be experiencing this. As long as there is a powerful contribution that will affect our bloodline, it will be shared among everyone."

"Amazing!" Martha began to close her eyes. Using her link with Kyros, she pulled up the stats.

"Lord Kyros... I feel another portion of energy growing in me..." Martha was confused.

"That should be Fallen Source. Amazing. You guys are developing it. Your bloodline should undergo an evolution once it's finishing digesting it. You would be Vampire Lord's soon." Kyros was pleased.

The orc kept shouting in pain. But as his groin was destroyed and the thick earth held his feet, he could not even harness the energy to lift it up. It was as if he was being drained with his strength.

"This is the Blood Calamity, guys. As you can see, the life force and strength of the Blood Calamity are contained in their blood. Her body is her blood. Whatever form you see as their body is but a manifestation. In short, if even a drop of blood remains from this Blood Calamity, she is alive." Kyros explained.

"What a horrifying monster." Diana was amazed.

"Well, the Blood Calamity is a Succubus. So it is a monster."

"I'm not talking about the Blood Calamity. I'm talking about you! That power is too wicked and evil! And you just ate it with that spell, Devour! How can you not be affected by it? That orc became a slave to the blood of her master! His last stand was a death stance! He wouldn't be able to contain that power unless he drinks massive amounts of blood! Just what are you?!" Diana asked.
