Chapter 178: Chapter 178: A Rescue in the Abyss

---

Dabi's instincts flared, and he spun around just as a pack of lesser vampires lunged from the shadows.

They were humanoid, their skin pale and veined, with mouths full of jagged teeth and eyes that gleamed with predatory hunger.

The first one attacked, its claws swiping for his throat. Dabi sidestepped, bringing his blade around in a wide arc.

The edge, imbued with fire magic, seared through the creature's arm, severing it cleanly. It screeched, retreating into the shadows, but the others pressed forward.

One leaped at him from behind, but Dabi was ready.

Using his space control ability, he warped the air around him, creating a pocket of compressed energy.

The vampire collided with the invisible barrier, its body crumpling under the force.

Dabi's movements were precise, calculated. He weaved between the attackers, striking with ruthless efficiency.
