Book 5: Chapter 17: A Dance with the Twins

Scarlet

I wipe the blood from my mouth while absorbing it into my bloodwell as I climb back to my feet after being pushed to the ground by the male twins attack. But despite the attack not being absorbed by Power Drain, I cant help but grin.

Because while I knew it was a possibility, the fact that one of the two Nobles uses blood magic is perfect for me.

Vampires are a species of demon that branches off into two different types of magic. Blood magic, which is less common, and darkness magic, which is more common. And by the looks of it, these twins have both magics, with the male twin having blood magic and the female twin having darkness magic.

But since all blood magic skills below epic rarity are simply absorbed to energize and heal me, the blood magic twin is going to have a rough time here. Most normal people, even at Class V, only have around half a dozen or so legendary skills. The stronger ones having upwards of a dozen. And since its normal to focus on the legendary skills you have, people dont often put in as much time or SP on getting epic rarity skills.

Guess one of the vampires wont be as much of a threat to me as I thought they would.

I identify both of them as I jump backwards to avoid a blast of darkness.

I feel a powerful hunger immediately filling me as I see the crimson light from my eyes reflecting in the drops of blood falling down around us from my rain. And without hesitation I rush over to the nearest demons, not giving the vampires a chance to attack me before I grab them by the throats and lift them to me where I quickly tear into them with my own lengthened fangs. Then I move back and forth, slaughtering several demons until the twin sister raises both of her hands and sends what looks like some sort of necrotic bolt at me that has me frowning. But after realizing what it is I simply ignore it as it crashes into me, seeping through my armor and into my skin.

Then doing absolutely nothing.

After absorbing a bit more blood to enhance Vampiric Ascendancys effect, I activate Crimson Overdrive, making crimson lightning flow across my body as I rush straight towards the blood magic vampire.

The vampires eyes widen in shock at how fast Im moving even in my bipedal form, but he and his sister both gather together and raise their hands, creating a large orb made of both blood magic and darkness magic appear in front of them. An orb that gives me pause for a second before I continue forwards, swiping my right hands claws coated in blood metal straight into the rapidly growing orb. But the orb manages to hold strong as sparks, blood, and droplets of darkness begin flying all over from the point of impact.

I grit my teeth as I feel the orb pushing me back, growing larger and larger by the second. All while the darkness and blood inside of it continue merging and mixing together to make a pitch-black blood thats still rather different from blood of ruin. And not long after that I feel the blood metal around my claws beginning to slowly disintegrate, following which my claws themselves also disintegrate.

Im not the only one taking damage though as with every single disintegrated particle in my hand, the two vampires grimace with bloody mist leaving their bodies thanks to Bloody Thorns. But eventually the orb begins to push past my claws and envelop and disintegrate my hands as well, so I activate Scarlet Aegis, making a blood red barrier appear blocking the orb before I transform into blood and move backwards.

After reforming myself my hands and claws are already fully healed, but the massive orb is still growing.

A ritual skill albeit only with two people.

Thisll be interesting.
