Battles between supreme class fighters were not like those between supra-class fighters and ordinary class fighters, where the rhythm was slow and the power was scattered. The scene was often frightening, but it was actually a waste of power and stamina.
On the contrary, almost every supreme class fighter was a terrifying existence who could control their power to the finest detail. They could release and retract their power at will. Hence, the battles between them were usually just right. They were simple and direct. They saved energy and time, but they were highly effective and deadly.
To them, as long as one side made a slight mistake in their control, the other side's instant reversal was a common occurrence.
Like now.
Hestad pressed Chris onto the ground expressionlessly. He clenched his right claw tightly into a fist. His power slowly increased as his terrifying muscles contracted in his True Form state. He aimed his fist at Chris' hideous head.
Chris chuckled.
"Old friend, it is my honor to fight alongside you, or to be your enemy," Hestad said plainly.
The next moment, he threw a punch!
The force was boundless.
It was so great that it was difficult to block it.
Only 0.5 seconds had passed since his fist fell from the air and touched the tip of Chris' nose.
In this 0.5 seconds, Chris suddenly bared his fangs and roared furiously!
The bone wings on his back pierced through the snow-covered ground. The sharp spikes on the tips of the wings went straight for Hestad's eyes.
A futile struggle.
The battle-seasoned Hestad sneered in his heart. Then, he unleashed the battle instincts he was most familiar with. His strong True Form body twisted swiftly. He released his left hand that was clamping down on Chris, and his right fist punched downwards without stopping!
Chris seized the moment Hestad released his left hand and punched the ground with both fists. His heavily injured body rose violently and charged towards Hestad.
Hestad's terrifying right fist brushed past Chris' hideous left cheek and left ear. The strong wind mercilessly scraped away his skin and flesh, bringing with it a frightening patch of black flesh.
* Thud! *
Hestad's fist landed on the ground.
Snow flew everywhere.
Half of the heavily injured Chris' face was scraped off. He roared and used the recoil force to bend his arms into elbows and hit Hestad's armored chest with all his might!
Hestad watched his old friend's counterattack calmly. His chest pushed against Chris' arms. The muscles on his waist and legs contracted, and his bone wings spread out to maintain his balance.
He absorbed part of the impact and diverted part of it. He only slid two inches backwards on the snow-covered ground, and Chris' attack was neutralized.
Chris frantically flapped his skeletal wings, but he could no longer make Hestad retreat.
"The struggles of a trapped beast," the gigantic Hestad said coldly.
Before Chris could react, Hestad roared furiously and clenched his claws into fists. His arms exerted force toward the center.
Hestad's pair of heavy punches, which had an astonishing momentum, came from the left and the right, heading straight for Chris' head, which was pressed against his chest.
Chris' reaction was extremely fast. He swung his elbows backward in an instant and hit Hestad's upper arms. Before Hestad's fists could land on his head, he exerted his strength.
Under Chris' interference, Hestad's fists missed the latter's head by a hair's breadth.
A pair of fists covered in bone spurs smashed together two inches behind Chris's head!
Bang!
The huge explosion even caused Chris to lose his hearing for a second. Fortunately, he had the powerful recovery ability of a vampire's true form. His body immediately mobilized the blood in his body and gathered it at his brain to heal his damaged ears.
But the battle was not over yet. Hestad did not care that he had missed an opportunity to kill. He abruptly tightened his arms and trapped Chris in his embrace!
"Do you prefer this way of dying?" Hestad said coldly. The muscles in his arms instantly tightened with great force!
His terrifying arms strangled Chris' upper body and tightened even more. "After I crush all the bones in your body, I will mercifully dig out your heart."
* Crack … crack … *
The sound of bones cracking could be heard inch by inch!
Chris hissed in pain, but he could not break free from Hestad's embrace of death!
Hestad laughed loudly and hugged Chris tightly as if he was hugging a comrade.
Just like when they were young, they would hug each other without any ill feelings after winning a difficult battle.
However, the glorious past had forever disappeared in the wind.
"Crack …" Chris's bones were still shattering.
"Before you die, repent to His Majesty!"
Hestad's arms tightened even more!
At this moment, Chris, who was in extreme pain, revealed a smile with difficulty.
"Time …" he said in pain, "is up …"
Hestad was stunned.
'What time?'
He did not want to waste time. He prepared to continue exerting force in his arms and directly crush Chris in his embrace.
But Hestad discovered to his surprise that the strength in his arms … was actually becoming weaker and weaker?
'What's going on?
Why is my strength … disappearing? '
Hestad began to lose feeling in his arms.
He furrowed his brows tightly and decisively let go of Chris.
In the next moment, Hestad looked at his arms. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
'Impossible.'
There was no other reason. Half of his arms had already been corroded by Chris's black blood without him realizing it!
'My True Form Armor …
'It's impossible for it to be corroded!'
Hestad clenched his teeth tightly, trying to understand this impossible scene.
'Hundreds of years of battles have proven this point, haven't they?!'
Chris panted laboriously on the ground and laughed brokenly. "Haha, unstoppable power and unbreakable defense?
"Have you heard of the story of the spear and shield in the Far East?"
Hestad took a step back in shock.
'What?
When did he … '
His arms were still being corroded!
"Your fists are both sharp weapons for striking and hard armor for withstanding impacts." Chris swayed as he stood up.
"They are sharp and hard. Coupled with the increase in your strength, which is comparable to that of the Great Dragon, your terrifying battle instincts, and your unparalleled control over your strength, they are indeed … But what happens when they stand against each other?"
With an unpleasant expression, Hestad headbutted Chris back to the ground!
'No.
No! '
But Chris swayed as he stood up again. He smiled and said, "The fists you hit the back of my head … When they collided, fine cracks that even you did not expect to appear. Perhaps after this battle, they will repair themselves.
"But for my blood, these fine cracks are already enough for it to seep in, seep into your so-called unbreakable True Form Armor, and corrode the flesh and tissues that are completely unprotected."
Chris placed his hands on Hestad's arms with difficulty. The black blood on half of Hestad's arm immediately flowed faster, and quickly seeped into his body from Hestad's wound!
Hestad gritted his teeth. His body swayed. The black blood had already corroded deep into his body.
"This is our end, tribesman." Chris coughed out a mouthful of blood and laughed bitterly. "Fighting with you … is indeed an honor."
Hestad could no longer support his body. He fell to the ground and roared furiously at the sky in grief and indignation.
"Can't you see?" Katerina said coldly, "There has never been any nourishing human blood. I am afraid that she has been in perfect condition since the beginning!
"This woman is a natural performer. You have been deceived by her from the beginning to the end!
"Just like how she deceived everyone in the Corleone Family!"
Thales stared at the adult version of Serena in a daze.
'Could it be that … she was not seriously injured at all?
'So her little girl form …
'Her so-called' alliance 'with me.
'When did she start …
'Her first time in Mindis Hall?
'Morat's visit?
'Vine Manor?
'No …
'Then our alliance …'
However, the fatal battle between the Blood Clan sisters, who would resort to any means necessary, had already begun.
"Don't even think about transforming into your true form." Serena, who was obviously stronger, ignored her younger sister's hands that were clamping down on her wrists. She abruptly grabbed Katerina's neck and pierced her neck with her claws. She laughed and said, "Just like in the past, you have no chance!"
"Ugly-faced woman," Katerina said in disgust.
Serena's expression changed. She whistled behind her.
The contest of strength between Katerina and Serena finally came to an end.
Because the supra class Blood Clansman, Rolana, who was watching the battle from the side, instantly appeared behind Katerina and struck out with her claws!
Katerina screamed and tilted her head to dodge, but her shoulder was still pierced by the claws.
Serena tightly grabbed onto the injured Katerina. The two of them disappeared from the spot at the same time, then appeared in midair not far away and violently crashed into and broke two birch trees!
* Bang! *
The snow and dust dispersed, revealing Serena's naked figure. She laughed softly and said,
"How does it feel to be continuously attacked and not be able to transform into your true form?"
Rolana's expression was cold as she appeared beside the two sisters and held Katerina in a tight grip.
Serena laughed maniacally. Facing Katerina, who was obviously being suppressed, she punched her younger sister's face with the speed of the wind!
* Thud! *
Katerina spat out a mouthful of blood and leaned to the side weakly.
'Oh no!'
It was obvious that Serena's side's attitude towards him was no longer that of an 'ally' like before.
As of now, the Night Queen was his only hope.
* Thud! *
Serena's second punch landed on the Night Queen's face.
"Do you miss this scene, kat?" Serena smiled happily and fixed her eyes on Katerina's gentle and beautiful face.
"Sister's love!"
Katerina's eyes brightened. With a turn of her body, she easily scraped Rolana, who was behind her, down with a speed that the naked eye could not follow and the angle of her sharp claws. She even left a deep scratch on Rolana's chest that revealed her bones.
But she had no time to care about Serena, who was in front of her.
The patricide's punch landed once again!
* Boom! *
This was the third punch with an even greater force.
It blasted Katerina onto the snowy ground!
Thales watched the battle anxiously. At the same time, he searched the remains of the carriage for something that could scrape off the rope.
However, with his eyesight, he could not catch the Blood Clansmen's terrifying extreme speed at all. He could only see the scene where the three of them 'skipped frames'.
It was not that he did not think of taking advantage of the chaos to escape. But he also knew that on the snowy ground at dusk, he could not escape the Blood Clansmen's pursuit with just his short and small legs, no matter which side it was.
Rolana crawled up from the ground and hissed.
On the other hand, Serena smiled cunningly and walked forward.
But in the next moment, a strange sound came from where Katerina was!
"Ugh … Ah …"
Serena's expression changed drastically!
"Ugh … Ah …"
When Thales heard that sound, he suddenly felt his entire body tremble!
He could not help but feel as if the entire world was spinning!
"Ah … ugh …"
He could not even maintain his balance while sitting on the ground. He swayed and fell!
He could not stand up anymore!
Thales was extremely flustered.
'What's going on?'
"Ugh … ugh …"
Thales struggled, but his consciousness was blurry. It was as if he had lost all sense of direction. When he stretched his hand to the left, it would reach to the right. When he raised his head towards the sky, he would drill deeper into the snowy ground instead!
After twisting about randomly, he finally shifted his gaze to the battlefield.
He shifted it to Katerina.
Her purple eyes had now turned pure black, and an ominous black liquid seeped out continuously!
Rolana, who was beside her, was also like Thales. As if drunk, she fell to the ground, gritting her teeth and cursing.
Thales was shocked.
'Katerina is …'
'Crying?'
He instantly remembered Katerina's nickname.
'The Weeper.
'So … Is this her ability?'
Black liquid flowed from Katerina's eyes. She let out strange and mysterious whimpering sounds. She slowly stood up and looked at her older sister.
"Tears of the Bloody Night!" Serena swayed her body and said furiously, "It can actually be used without a True Form?"
Under the strange crying sounds, Serena struggled to hold on. She wanted to punch her younger sister's chest before she fell!
* Thud! *
Thales watched in astonishment as Serena's fist was firmly clamped down by a sharp white claw with bone spikes on it.
Serena furrowed her brows.
Katerina, who had been suppressed all this while, raised her rapidly changing head. Her ears were elongated, her fangs were sharp, and bone spikes protruded. Her entire face turned into a strange, pale white color.
Thales watched in a daze as Katerina's entire body swelled and changed shape. She grew white bony wings and slowly turned into a huge white monster.
It was the 'True Form' unique to supreme class Blood Clansmen.
* Bang! *
As Serena screamed in agony, her younger sister's fist pierced through her abdomen!
"Ugh … yes … ugh … sister … ugh …" The white True Form Katerina widened her pure black eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"My younger sister … ah … loves you very much too … ugh …"
Serena screamed and swung her body frantically. However, she was helpless against Katerina's strange cries.
"Ugh … looks like you are not recovering well, sister … ugh …" Katerina's current appearance was as if she was crying and talking at the same time. She appeared especially terrifying.
"On the contrary … ugh … I have improved too much!
"Ugh … the current me … ah … I don't even need to transform into my 'True Form' to use the 'Tears of the Bloody Night'!
"… ugh … ugh …
"This is a forbidden ability that does not differentiate between friend and foe!"
As Katerina used the 'Tears of the Bloody Night' that she spoke of, she raised her fist that pierced through Serena's abdomen and pulled Serena in front of her. She revealed an expression that looked like she was crying and smiling at the same time.
Thales closed his eyes in relief.
'Does this count as … releasing an ultimate move in time?
This change in the situation … is really frightening. '
Katerina's bony wings slowly extended and spread open. The skin and flesh on her body began to fall. Very soon, she would completely transform into a pure white True Form Blood Clansman!
However …
"Now, Rolana," Serena said with her last breath.
Katerina furrowed her brows.
Rolana, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have adapted to the feeling of losing her balance and direction. She tightly hugged Katerina, who was still transforming.
"Princess Katerina, I am sorry." Rolana flashed a charming smile, which immediately turned into a bitter and pathetic smile.
"But this is for freedom."
An ominous premonition assaulted Thales' heart.
* Bang! *
In the next moment, Rolana's entire body exploded into black blood that filled the sky!
It splattered all over a small corner of the world!
Katerina, who had yet to completely transform, and the heavily injured Serena were drenched in black blood.
Both of them covered their faces with their arms, resisting the black blood that filled the sky.
A mere few seconds passed.
However, the strange cries stopped abruptly.
What replaced them was Katerina's screams!
"Ah … This is …"
She raised her trembling hands and looked at the black blood on them. She hissed in disbelief.
"Foul Blood Poison!"
Katerina seemed to have been splashed with sulfuric acid from Thales' previous life. Her entire body trembled in the black blood, and her entire True Form began to wither!
Without the effects of the 'Tears of the Bloody Night', Thales sat up and watched this scene in a daze.
'What is this?'
At this moment, Serena tightly covered the wound on her abdomen and let out a sincere, wild laugh that filled the sky!
"Hahahahaha!"
In the next moment, the skin and flesh on her body fell off inch by inch, and a crimson stratum corneum grew and took shape!
Her ears elongated, her bone wings pierced through her back, and bone spurs and sharp claws slowly took shape.
Serena instantly turned into a huge blood-red monster. Other than the color, she was almost exactly the same as Katerina.
There was only one difference.
She was different from Katerina's pure facial features even though she had transformed into her True Form.
Serena's facial features …
Thales trembled as he recalled a scene that he did not want to recall the most.
A huge black mouth that split open to the back of her ears.
A pitch-black, empty nose.
Eyes that resembled two irregular black holes.
This was …
Other than the fact that her skin was no longer charred and withered …
This was the horrifying mummified Serena that Thales saw in the black coffin in Vine Manor that night!
Thales watched this scene with cold sweat dripping down his back.
He suddenly understood the meaning of Katerina's so-called 'ugly woman'.
'Really.
'So ugly.'
Serena, who had an inelegant True Form, opened her huge mouth and revealed similarly irregular fangs. She let out a wild roar at Katerina, as if she had caught her prey!
* Roar! *
* Thud! *
Amidst True Form Serena's hoarse and shrill laughter and Katerina's pained screams, the Night Queen's pair of bone wings were snapped off!
* Rip! *
In the next moment, Katerina's left arm was torn apart!
Blood splattered everywhere.
* Crack! *
This time, her right arm was forcefully snapped off!
Katerina, who had lost both her arms and wings, roared madly. However, the True Form Serena only revealed a victorious smile and punched her into the snow-covered ground!
* Boom! *
The horrifying True Form Serena raised her red claws that were at least twice as long as the average Blood Clansman's and slashed downwards!
* Rip! *
She forcefully chopped off Katerina's legs!
Katerina's True Form appearance finally disappeared completely, and she returned to the adorable Queen in Black.
However, she was already powerless to reverse the situation.
Thales watched this reversal in a daze.
'Not good.
He said in his heart.
'Not good at all.'
Katerina, whose limbs were all severed and her wings shattered, spat out a mouthful of blood indignantly. She watched as the True Form Serena slowly returned to her normal appearance.
"The True Form of a supreme class Blood Clansman is very terrifying," Serena said happily and enchantingly to her younger sister, who was lying on the ground, looking extremely miserable.
"However, very few people know that the process of transforming from a normal state into a 'True Form' is a process of changing the tissues in our body and undergoing blood transfusion and rebirth."
Serena pulled up the cape left behind by Rolana after she sacrificed herself and wrapped it around her body.
She sat down next to her younger sister and pretended to sigh. "At this stage, the Blood Clansmen's immunity towards special poisons is at its weakest.
"Especially when there are Blood Clansmen of the same clan and origin who willingly assimilate the Tainted Blood Poison into their bodies, and then let you absorb it when you transform …
"Isn't this a very genius idea? You know, I've always had a headache over that so-called forbidden ability of yours … "
Thales found a sharp wooden fragment and desperately cut the rope that tied him behind his back.
However, this was not as easy as it was portrayed in the movies in his past life!
He could not see the situation behind him and did not know the most effective way to cut. He could not even use much strength!
He had to be faster.
Otherwise, after Katerina, it would be his turn!
'What should I do?!'
Thales gritted his teeth and thought frantically.
Katerina, who was powerless to retaliate, said furiously, "You crazy b * tch!
You actually used the lives of your subordinates … Do you know how painful it is to implant the Tainted Blood Poison into your body?!
"Hahaha, I love seeing you like this the most. The cute look when the tables are turned at a crucial moment and you can only use foolish words to criticize me …" Serena clapped and laughed happily.
"The Night Wing King will probably be very pleased to see how powerful I am, right?
"Shut up!" The Night Queen who had lost all her advantages, Katerina hissed in indignation and resentment, "You are not fit to mention him!
"You killed our father!"
"Patricide!"
"Father!" Serena suddenly turned her head and was enveloped in an endless chill. "You called him father! Just because he bit you on the neck? "
Katerina, who was on the ground, seemed to have been hit in the soft spot. She was momentarily stunned.
She then frantically retorted, "He saved us and raised us!"
Katerina, whose limbs were all broken, struggled to raise her head with a heart full of hatred and met her sister's gaze.
"He bestowed his noblest lifeblood upon us!
He allowed us to possess his bloodline, share his glory, and even inherit his title!
"He's like a father, loving us!"
Otherwise, we, the pair of orphans, would have died a violent death in the chaotic world of the Battle of Eradication! "
Thales shuddered.
'The Battle of Eradication?'
Serena's figure flashed in an instant. She grabbed the latter's neck and lifted her up!
Filled with disgust and ridicule, the patricide coldly said to her sister, "Ignorant sister, you do not know anything.
"You only remember the doll he gave you. You only remember the love he gave you."
"Right, kat?"
You will always be a crybaby who hides behind me.
Do you think that I do not know what you think?
What I think about him? "
Katerina's gaze seemed to have been frozen by something.
She looked at her sister with a face full of suspicion.
Serena spoke coldly.
"Every time that man returns to the castle, you are the first fool to pounce on him and act coquettishly …
"If there is any ignorant maid or knight who shows even the slightest bit of love for him, you will mock and ridicule them, secretly suppress them, and have the people below isolate them …
"Weeper? Half of your tears are because you are afraid of me, and the other half is because you like him! "
Katerina trembled violently!
"Yes, I know!" Serena sneered.
Serena sneered and said, "Kat, you do not only admire him, you worship him."
Katerina struggled and revealed a look of disbelief.
Under Thales' extremely shocked gaze, the patricide enunciated each word clearly.
"You still like him and desire him!
You love him deeply! "
Katerina trembled as she looked at Serena. She could not speak.
At this moment, Serena laughed maniacally in a deep and mysterious manner.
"… You fell in love with the person who gave you a second life, the powerful and terrifying Night Wing King, did you not?"
"No!" Katerina's brows struggled, as if she was immersed in an unbelievable pain.
"Is that not the case?!" Serena said coldly, "You wish that you were his wife, his lover, and not his daughter!"
Watching this scene, Thales was stunned.
'This is …
'Serious …
'Oedipus complex?'
Thales lowered his head and sighed.
Unfortunately, his life and death were still in the hands of this queen.
He struggled to stand up.
'Really.
'Why.
'Every time, in the end.
'It's always me alone.
'To save the world?'
The heavily injured Katerina roared madly.
Serena's gaze was cold. She stretched out her crimson claws and gently scratched Katerina's fair face. "And your ugly and shameless feelings, let it end here."
At this moment …
"Wait a minute!"
Serena furrowed her brows slightly and turned to look at Thales.
Thales leaned against the wreckage of the carriage and struggled to get up from the ground. He furrowed his brows tightly and looked at the ferocious-looking Serena.
Under Serena's gaze, he walked towards the black coffin.
The legendary anti-mystic equipment.
The Dark Night Black Coffin.
"I heard that there is a Mystic here?" Thales Jadestar panted and flashed a bitter smile. "And the kind that can be released?"
