Chapter 88 Blood Surge Form

The Sofia covered her mouth, as her super regeneration helped her to quickly recover from the damage that she received from the attack.

The sand spear dissipated after the attack. Sofia closed her eyes to focus on the sound that would come from the ground. With her super hearing and dark domain, she would be able to know where the sand spear might advanced. This is the first Sofia felt helpless. The enemy was hiding, and she can't even counter because she can't see them. Feeling the incoming spear under her, she leaped into the sky as she activates her blood magic for the first time. She uttered strange incantations as a crimson pattern appeared on her hands.

Suddenly a dazzling red light appeared on her irises.

"Blood magic: Blood Flow Perception"

This ability would let her feel the blood flow of the lifeforms 100 meters from her. She felt it carefully before she located the two Sand Crippers hiding underground opposite her.

"Gotya bastards!" Sofia smiled, she was irked by their underhanded approach. But who should she blame? In a life and death battle, there are no rules. As long as you can kill an enemy and use all means necessary to achieve it, then you survive.

Sofia crossed her arms. Two spears appeared. One is beside her left and the other was on the right.

"Taste you're own medicine!" Sofia smirked as she threw the blood spears with her full force.

The blood spears became a red blur as it was catapulted toward the ground where the two Sand Critters were hiding. Just like that, the spears impaled the ground reaching the targets.

"Shriek!!"

The monster emerged from the ground with a punctured body. Their flesh can be seen in the naked eye. Sofia looked at her three enemies. Although they were still alive after her continuous attacks. The first one who was cleaved by her blood scythe regrouped with the other two again.

Sofia felt upset. "What should I do!? Should I use that?"

Sofia hesitated, that form is dangerous to use even for her. As a Dhampir she was different than others. Vampires don't have blood. But as a half human and half vampire, she can still do what humans can do. She can eat foods that humans eat and she still has a beating heart like her father.

'Well, there's no other choice.'

Sofia willed her blood to flow faster, her body was shaded with purple lights as steam of smoke came from her. The principle of this ability is to make her blood flow fast delivering a high amount of oxygen to her muscles, and cells, and distributing the heat throughout her body. This would boost her speed, senses, and power. She calls this form "Blood Surge"

Feeling the vigorous power flowing within her, Sofia made a fighting stance. A blood claw was formed on each of her hands and the dark energy fused to it becoming purple.

Now, with her multiple boosts that come from the dark domain, blood energy, and blood surge. Couple with the claws that were made of destruction energy. Sofia was confident to kill the three scums in front of her.

This time Sofia didn't dilly dally anymore she directly appeared in front of them, the speed she moved cannot be seen by the naked eye, even Fein who specializes in speed would only see a shadow. This is the improvement brought by three boosts that are stacked with each other. This is a qualitative change that was already near the speed of S Rank.

She waves her hands against the three Sand Critters with her destruction claws. Every hit directly evaporated the body parts of Sand Critters. Pieces after pieces were erased into existence even the atoms cease to exist. This time even if they want to recover their body it would be impossible. Suddenly Sofia discovered three green balls moving at fast speed, Sofia squinted her eyes to have a clear view.

'Is that their weakness? Isn't this the so-called monster core?' A flash of understanding appeared in her eyes.

In the book of monsters in their library, the monster core is usually a characteristic of a golem who could also rearrange its body parts whenever they want. But usually, only golems have these characteristics and slime. Sofia didn't expect this at all. She condensed three blood bullets to destroy the cores, which were shattered immediately. This time the Sand Critters truly died. The dark domain receded after Sofia deactivated her powers.

...

Fein looked at the Sand Critters, he remembered that Albert told him that there are monsters that are hard to kill because they can regenerate parts of their bodies. These monsters are called "Core Spawns". The good news, based on Albert, all these monsters have weaknesses. That is, they have a moving core that replaces its position every minute on their bodies.

Even without Albert telling him, Fein who has read thousands upon thousands of books already knew this fact, he only needs to find know monster's characteristics and he can automatically recall them. But he wasn't omniscient, he still has a lot that he doesn't know about. Thinking of this, Fein held his blade and infused 75% of his degu as he prepared to use his "Ultimate Attack".

Fein lick his lips from the excitement that was rushing through his blood.

The three Sand Critters leaped at the sky one in the middle and two on side of it.

He automatically entered "Chess Perception" every movement and every inch of the land was covered by Fein's perception. No one can escape his sense even the smallest ant. As he felt the enemies become closer and closer he unsheathed his blade.

[Consecutive Flicker] Multiple white lights flashed as Fein's hand's sheath and unsheath rapidly. But if anyone sees it they would witness that his hands were just still in the scabbard as if it is not moving. This is just an illusion. Because in reality. His speed had just reached the level of 0.1 seconds unsheathing speed.

Just like that, the Sand Critters were divided into the smallest of pieces. They turned into chunks of meat. The white light appeared and disappeared as if they were flashes of a camera.

Just like what Fein guessed, three green cores were floating in the air. With one last flash of white light, the green core cracked into shreds.

Fein smiled at the ruthlessness of his "Ultimate Attack". Speed is supreme, speed is power. This is Fein's current fighting style.
