“Show me what you got,” Ulmer waved his hand, teasing and taunting her opponent.“Hmph,” Nirvana was not affected by his trivial provocative attitude as she was one of the few vampires who had completely mastered her emotions. Even among the awakened vampires, she was a special being.Nirvana’s eyes glowed yellow, and the moonlight around her danced with the shadows, creating a hypnotic effect. It felt like the very world itself was bending and shaking. Before Ulmer knew it, he was getting hypnotized.[Careful, Master!] Dove’s voice rang louder than alarm in Ulmer’s mind.His senses were immediately cleared, and he blocked the clawing attack of Nirvana at the last moment.The other vampires were quite stunned by it. “He resisted the Illusion Binding skill of Madam Nirvana?! That’s a skill even the purebloods will have difficulty to fight against! Just who the hell is this guy? What sort of systemic power is he using?”Nirvana, on the other hand, stretched her fingernails, which went l
A dark-black wave of energy first hit Ulmer from the front. He swiftly thrust his palm forth, releasing a burst of energy, casting the darkness away.However, the vampires were all behind him now.(When did they get behind me?)He smirked, an unsettling glint in his eyes, as their attacks pierced his back one after another.Their attacks were grim, fierce, and wynorrific—a symbol of death dancing on the throat of life.They thought they had won because they had completely broken Ulmer’s body into many pieces.Their sense of victory was reflected through their nasty grins. “It’s a pity we couldn’t capture him alive, but at least his head is intact. So, we have the proof.”But then, Ulmer’s body clustered together as sand particles merging to become a living soul. “Nice try, scary ladies,” his expression turned from a friendly one to a hostile one pretty quickly, “but you can’t hope to kill me with just this.” He once again thrust his palm toward them, releasing a wave of invisible ener
Ulmer could fight back against Nirvana’s crafty poisonous attack with his spiritual energy, but he didn’t want to waste his spiritual energy right now as he could be facing more opponents in the coming hours and days. He just didn’t want to take that blind risk because it would still take a while for the original to come here.After all, an intense battle of minds was going on in Syslon right now, with Ulmer and Brianna fighting each other for the throne. A lot was at stake in Syslon, too.Ulmer’s clone was forced to come up with a solution to the ongoing problem. He didn’t have much time.Using his abilities to solve things outside his body was one thing, but now, he was forced to look into his body and solve the issue.Humans were generally not equipped with the capabilities to feel what was going on inside their bodies. They were not capable of feeling the movement of the blood and so on. This was like going against the flow of natural senses.Ulmer closed his eyes and regained the
A few minutes earlier.Abbie Frankfurt, who had secretly followed Nirvana and her group, was watching them battle Ulmer.She was not able to see clearly because of the barrier, but she could feel their presence on the rooftop.When she felt everyone except Nirvana die, Abbie couldn’t just stay put anymore. She rushed toward the duplex house.She didn’t even try hard and managed to slip through the barrier like she was walking against strong wind.“Strangely enough, that felt good,” Abbie thought. “Now then, let’s start with the oldest soul in the house.”In just a second, she burst open a particular room door and attacked Mollie who was sleeping on the bed.It all happened so fast that the sound of the door opening didn’t even reach Mollie’s ears yet, so she was still sleeping soundly.Abbie’s hand was reaching Mollie’s throat, but she immediately stopped and swiveled back and kicked at Ulmer who flashed behind her.The moment she touched him, both of them disappeared from there.The
The explosion died off in a minute, but the clouds of dust were still everywhere in the sky.Abbie was standing still. She slightly turned her head and looked over her shoulder.Ulmer was standing right behind her, both of them in the middle of a giant crater.“Haha, you made me look completely stupid,” Abbie chortled while covering her eyes from the sunlight. “Now, I’m sure. You can just teleport yourself to different places, can’t you?”Ulmer was just seriously watching her.Vampires, as far as he knew, were cold-blooded. So, they should be reaping benefits from the sun. Yet, why do they not like the sun? What made them feel threatened by the sun? “Sun heals our bodies. Human and animal bodies, I mean. But your vampires don’t seem to fit into both categories. In return for your vampiric powers, you seem to have lost the blessing of the sun that God has given to all beings that live on earth. Is this the curse you ‘monsters’ got for messing with your DNA?”Abbie slightly frowned. “I
In Bronich city.Rick Orsini was in his penthouse, watching a live feed on a projector screen which was showing Richard's house.“How many people have gone after him so far?” Rick asked.“18 people as far as we know,” Rick’s right-hand-man, Lexor, said. He was a blind man who could still make out the world in a different sense by reading the energies. Wearing a suit, he looked like a professional businessman. “But I believe that the number could be as much as a hundred.”“And all of them are dead or defeated?” Rick queried.“All the snipers are found dead. It seems a few shadow reapers died a few minutes ago from what we gathered,” Lexor replied. They were using a frequency technology to read all the sounds coming from that region, so they could somewhat understand what was going on inside the cube-like barrier until it was broken. “And then he fought the Frankfurt vampire group.”“The crazy Frankfurt group, huh…” Rick frowned. “They may be living on a lower level compared to the shad
Abbie relentlessly attacked with her claws, which didn’t just hurt Ulmer physically but even both mentally and emotionally.The wounds she gave made it all the more difficult for Ulmer to maintain his focus on a basic level.What’s more, Ulmer could see his skin and flesh peeling off and getting sucked toward her in the form of energy, and Ulmer couldn’t resist it.This forced Ulmer to use spiritual energy to heal himself and resist her tantric energy.Seeing Ulmer fight back made Abbie all the more excited, and she got even faster and stronger.“This is your trump card, ain’t it?” Abbie kept taunting him, while feeding off of his emotions without him knowing. “How much longer can you hold on? It’s still not too late to fall to your knees and beg.”While he was getting weaker, she was getting stronger. Her strength, speed, healing, and senses were all being improved.Ulmer understood that, but he didn’t look discomforted. This began to affect Abbie as time passed.She could get strong
Nirvana used her dark energy to repeatedly drill a hole through the hemispherical aerial barrier from the topmost region.Even though she was managing to put a hole through a couple of layers, she had to take a few seconds of break, and in this time, the lost layers kept refilling.Nirvana grew utterly frustrated, though she did not wear her emotions on her face. “How the hell did he create this type of a barrier? It’s as if this barrier is taking energy from the air around. It’s stretchy, yet durable. I have never seen anything like this before.”Just then, she felt a presence behind her. She swiveled back and saw a man with black eyes floating in the air next to her.“You are… Phantom Killer!” Nirvana’s eyes slightly widened because he was one of the top most assassins in the underworld. “Are you here for the bounty as well?”Black liquid released from his eyes and fell as droplets on the barrier and self-replicated and grew into drill bits and began to repeatedly put holes through
