Chapter 101 - Ying Vs. Vernon

As the twelve vampire lords run at us, Celeste asks.

"want me to head back to Rozlania, and return with back up?"

I respond.

"I would like that, but I'm afraid that we might not hold out long enough while you're gone."

she grits her teeth.

"never mind then, I don't want to leave you guys to your death, If I can help it."

Ying takes a deep a breath and then shouts.

"particle tsunami!"

a fifty foot wave of red particles manifest in front of him and it comes crashing down on all twelve vampire lords, including Vernon, and then I think to myself, shocked with the amazing power that Ying unleashed.

"what the hell was that?"

the aftermath of his the particle tsunami turned the once grassy land and lush green forest, into a barren wasteland, and what makes this more terrifying is that Vernon was is only one who survived the attack, while the others vampire lords that were attacking us seemed to have been completely wiped from existence, Ying then shouts at Vernon surprised.

"so you managed to survive one my strongest spells!?"

Vernon responds nonchalantly as he slowly makes his way towards us.

"a spell like that wouldn't do nothing to me."

he looks around to the spots where the others were at and asks impressed.

"but I have a question for you Mr. Belfaust, are you really a human?"

I panic in mind.

"what the f.u.c.k he just wiped out twelve vampire lords that seem to be around the same strength as Abigail, like they were nothing."

Ying asks.

"were those vampire lords weaker than you?"

he answers.

"no they are vampire apprentices, who are just below us vampire lords."

I then think to myself.

"I guess that means whatever Abigail told me, could still be true, but to think that vampire apprentices could be so strong."

Ying then says.

"well it doesn't matter either way as you will join your apprentices in death."

he then shouts as he points his finger at Vernon.

"Particle beam cannon!"

a straight line filled with red particles, comes flying out off Ying's finger and it quickly makes contact with Vernon, but he shrugged off that attack didn't faze him, Ying shocked expression told me everything that, confirmed my previous suspicions about the robes providing magic nullification.

"the robes he is wearing must have a stronger defense against magic than the ones that the vampire apprentices were wearing."

Ying show expressions changes to a more worried one and starts to fire off multiple particle beam cannons, while Vernon is still coming our way while taking the attacks head on, I then shout to Ying.

"magic is not going to work on him, we have to fight him physically!"

he yells back.

"hold on, I've got another attack under my sleeve, if that doesn't work, then I'll fight him physically!"

Vernon stands still with arms open to side and taunts him.

"give it your best shot Mr. Belfaust!"

Ying turns to us an says.

"hey behind me, this next attack will wipe you all out."

all of us quickly hide behind him as he takes a deep breath, while raising both hands to the sky, and then shouts.

"particle comet!"

suddenly the night sky gets lit up by bright red rays emanating from an object similar in size of the Mons city, mountain, hurdling towards us, I stare at it completely terrified with the amount of power that Ying was producing, I then ask myself.

"if I didn't knock him out with my strength, I could have been wiped out easily?"

but Vernon wasn't fazed by the huge object coming our way, instead he was just laughing maniacally, as he stood there waiting for it to come crashing down, Ying then chants a follow up spell.

"particle shield."

he slightly turns his head to us an says.

"brace yourselves, this shield may not hold up, when my comet comes crashing down, and also close your eyes, if you don't want to become permanently blind."

the comets comes crashing down a few seconds later, and the explosion blinded all of us temporary for a few minutes, even though we had closed our eyes, Ying then shouts.

"is everyone alright!?"

I open my eyes, and see that I'm flat on my back, looking up at Ying, who's kneeling next to me and staring at me with a worried expression on his face, I then ask as I groan.

"what's wrong?"

he answers with guilt in his voice.

"it seems like my attack has damaged all of you."

I begin to feel the familiar warm feeling of blood coming out of my nose, mouth, eyes and ears, I gently turn my head, and see that the others are suffering from the same damage as me, I praise Ying as I cough up blood.

"that shit was awesome Ying."

he chuckles nervously.

"thanks but this is not the time compliment me, when your guys have suffered this much damage."

I then ask.

"is Vernon dead?"

he answers.

"I don't know, my eye sight barely came back at the same time as yours."

he stands up so that he can have a look, and then he answers, with a defeated voice that was on a verge of crying.

"no, he is still standing."

I respond still in pain.

"then we need to get Celeste to open up a portal for before and get back up before Vernon kills us."

but Ying ignores me as he falls to his knees, already losing his will to fight, seeing him like this made me fight through the pain as I crawl towards Celeste, who is breathing has become shallow, she feels me grab on to her hand, and asks while coughing blood.

"what is it Master Collin."

I respond.

"do you have a healing potion on you?"

she asks.

"yeah, are you going to drink it?"

I answer.

"yes, since Ying has lost the will to fight, I'm going to buy you guys time to escape while I fight Vernon."

she shakes her hand with with tears in her eyes.

"no Master Collin, I'm not abandoning you."

I grab the healing out her pouch and after I finish drinking part of it, I shout.

"listen to me!"

her body stiffens after hearing me shout, and then as I feed her part if the potion, I continue with a calmer tone.

"Look, I have seen that Ying is capable of killing vampire apprentices with ease, if he does now against Vernon, then our best chance of taking on the vampire lords will be lost."

I take a deep breath as I stand up, and say with my voice breaking.

"tell Ellena that I'm sorry and that I love her."

I begin to cry.

"and please tell Hope that daddy loves her and that I'm very proud of her."

Celeste also starts to cry, but as I wipe my tears, I say.

"please make sure you take Ying, he doesn't look like he will be moving on his own."

I slowly walk towards Ying while still feeling the pain all over my body, I then think to myself.

"my mana has been replenished, so I can at least go down fighting with my silver eyes."

I place my hand on Ying's shoulder and say with a consoling voice.

"you can rest now Ying, I'll take it from here."

I spot Vernon who is closing the distance between us, and I shout at him.

"I'll be your opponent now!"

he responds arrogantly.

"it doesn't matter, all of you will be fed upon either way."

I look back and see Celeste already helping all of them retreat further in the back, Vernon notices this and starts running at us, I then react by doing the same, and while running I chant.

"Silver Eyes."

even still he ignores me and focuses on them while having a hand up to fire a spell at the, but I quickly close the distance between us punch him in the gut and as he falls to ground, shocked that I was able to do so, I shout at him in anger.

"like I said you f.u.c.ker, I'm your opponent!"
