Chapter 267 - An Enemy, or an Ally?
Like an uncoiled spring, the powerful body of the Vampyre Price broke the sound barrier as he neared the Celestial Disciple of the Faerie Race in the blink of an eye!
His hands had formed into the shape of a bloody claw as he aimed towards the heart of the being in front of him without a second thought.
Although taken back and given less than a millisecond to react, the being of the Faerie Race was not holding the title of a Celestial Disciple for nothing.
"Fate’s Protection!"The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
A resonant howl escaped from her as her hazel blue wings shone, gaining a golden hue as a protective bell formed around her to meet the bloody claw.
BOOM!
An eruption rocked the skies of the First Hell as the bloody claw met the golden bell, the two beings that clashed being safe and sound as the Celestial Disciple had blood dripping from her mouth. The two humans that were moving with her were ripped to shreds from the impact as the Vampyre Prince looked languidly at the enemy in front of him, not sparing a second more as he had already felt the movement of numerous beings headed their way.
"Blood World."
OOONG!
Essence rumbled and roiled as the simple words triggered ancient magic that went to envelop the area half a mile from the Vampyre Prince at the center. An expression of confusion and slight fear entered the mind of the Faerie as she recalled her teachings on Fate, never having foreseen something like this happening to her today. The fear overtook her pride as she took out her medallion and placed essence into it without a second delay, knowing her power could not stand against the enemy targeting her.
...
Yet to her dismay, nothing occurred no matter how much energy she placed onto the medallion!
"In my Blood World, not even an ant can find respite. What makes you think you can escape?"
More and more confusion clouded by fear sprung into the mind of the Celestial Disciple as she looked towards the Vampyre bubbling with essence as she calmly called out.
"Do you know who you are targeting? My death will bring you untold trouble, and most likely your death if you were to know exactly who was behind me."
The Vampyre Prince was brought to a halt at the mention of these words, his gaze turning increasingly serious as he tried to find their source among the droves of undead circling the skies and the ground below him, finding nothing but shining eyes with burning flames.
OONG!
He acted without a delay as he knew the importance of what he just did a few minutes ago, and how such an event could never meet the light of day. Should it be known that the Prince of the Vampyre Race had killed a Celestial Disciple, the consequences would be catastrophic. He placed his hand near his chest as a bloody key formed out of nowhere, entering his chest as he turned it swiftly, unlocking something he never thought he would use in the First Realm of Hell.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
A resounding sound of a beating heart erupted as the Vampyre Prince shone with a red light, a circle of blood erupting with him at the very center as it went on to cover the surrounding two miles!
SHAA!
He wasted no time as in this expanded Blood World that covered four times the distance of the normal ones, his first target was the Lich holding a golden Skull Staff as ropes of bloody lines turned into sharp spears around the Blood World, piercing any Undead they came across as even more spears targeted the Lich standing above the Blue Phoenix.
"Constrain. Pierce. Absorb!"
Powerful words left his mouth as stupendous destruction began to occur in the Blood World, many of the lesser ranked Undead turning to nothing in a few seconds as only a few Bone Dragons and Blue Phoenixes were left, some being ground down to bones while the remaining few had each of their bodies holding serious injuries, but not yet dead.
The Vampyre Prince sighed at this as he placed his hand near his chest again, knowing he would have to go all out if he wanted the events in this place to never be known by anyone.
"The more curious thing is that the Underworld should be aligned with the Celestials, thus your participation in this Infernal Hunt. Which makes these set of events so interesting, don’t you say?"
The Vampyre Prince’s face turned ugly for the first time as he heard this voice again, and it was not anywhere in the two miles where he had expanded his Blood World, but somewhere outside of it.
His impossibly gorgeous face twisted slightly before it regained its composure, and he breathed out slowly as he pulled his hands down and recalled the Blood World. The silver hairs on his head looked slightly dimmer as he turned towards the injured undead in the skies, and the many more Undead outside the two miles of his previously cast Blood World as he voiced out with a devilishly dangerous smile appearing on his face.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
...
A simple meeting was taking place between two completely different beings in the First Realm of Hell.
At the same time, a Celestial Disciple had faced an untimely death.
