Chapter 71: Abduction

While Kai was attempting to delay the bringer of the apocalypse, Penelope had awoken from her unconsciousness caused as a by-product of Dahak's overwhelming aura. Once awake she had seen the entire process of Kai's defeat, however, she didn't feel anything other than despair from his defeat.

The vampire-wolf hybrid had expected to feel some happiness from seeing Kai's crushed body that was pressed into the ground and surrounded by a crater a couple of kilometres wide and deep. After all, he had tormented her for the entire time that he was at the academy.

If Kai could hear what she was thinking he would think that she was making everything up because when he was at the academy because he had more pressing matters to deal with than teasing a narrow-minded immature woman.

As Penelope continued to think this her body slowly turned back into her human form as a result of her loss of energy. Due to her being a hybrid it required more energy to stay in her hybrid form than for the other supernatural beings.

Her mind continued to run Kai's performance through her mind over and over. Eventually, she realised that he had earned her respect and now she was no longer going to hold his earlier behaviour against him.

Inside Kai's mindscape encased in the blood orb

Kai woke up from his blackout and discovered that he was inside the blood orb from the red skies and even darker ground. After seeing them the first thing that he saw apart from the sky and earth frightened him. The shocking development that had happened was that the barrier had grown incredibly small compared to when he had last seen it.

It was only a couple of metres large and outside it were the countless faces of the monsters that he had beaten twice in the arena. He saw that the barrier was slowly giving away and the manifestation of his subconsciousness had disappeared. He assumed that it had been swallowed already, a terrible sign.

The barrier began breaking and cracking, appearing like glass and more and more fractures were appearing. Just as the barrier shattered into countless shards, Kai felt one of the most important links in his life break and disconnect. It was Harry's link to him, the link that a progenitor had with his descendants as well as the connection a sired had with his sire.

It was gone and while all of this happened all at once, Kai knew that such a thing was impossible to happen, such a close link couldn't be erased by any mortal being, much less a nonsentient ability that has gone out of control. The [Berserk] ability couldn't do this as it was another part of Kai, albeit an uncontrollable part, it still wasn't able to erase another part of him like the link. It had to be an outside interference. These were the tragic last thoughts that Kai's sane mind produced before the Berserkness took over and the last pieces of his sanity were lost.

At the same time with Harry

Inside the Court's HQ

Harry was on the couch gripping its armrests hard enough to break it if it wasn't specially made out of Kai's magic. As he was watching the news, behind him a gloomy presence appeared that slowly crept into the room that came out of the shadow covered entrance of the room.

"Your wish had been granted," the creature said gutturally to Harry giving him a fright. Harry was shivering and started to curl himself into a ball. Although he had received training from Tom and was smarter than most kids his age, he was terrified of the creature that had managed to evade his vampiric senses and creep over to him.

He still was a kid and when an unfathomable monster suddenly appeared in the seemingly impenetrable HQ, Harry was bound to get scared. Harry started to cry out in fear, the creature moved closer until the creature floated over his curled up body.

He had bony long arms that extended out of his body and a tattered cloak covered the rest of his body. He floated at 2.5 metres tall with a black ripped and torn hood that covered his unseeable clouded face.

"What… What do you mean?" The young vampire asked the creature while shivering uncontrollably. "I will grant your wish young one, the wish to save the being that you love so dearly and in exchange, I will teach you for a few years."

Harry was sure that the creature was talking about Kai and in his extreme desire to save the vampire that acted as his father he fought his fear and grabbed the demonic entity's bony hand unaware of the gaping loophole that he had given the creature access to.

"The contract is immediately in effect." Immediately, the boy who lived was teleported away to a faraway place. At the same time, his link to his mentor and father figure was cut off. "Well now," the creature said out loud. "The poor boy never specified which loved one will be saved and I think that Tom Marvolo Riddle will be the one, wait, hmm... no, his ancestors have crossed me before.

No, it will be that vampire cat that will be saved. I'm sorry Dragon of darkness I will have to save one of your victims, but he is an insignificant King so I guess it doesn't matter."

The creature laughed, its hideous laughter reverberating throughout the room. "Now that I finally have my champion and you have yours let the competition begin. We'll finally see who will have the last laugh. Now your champion has had enough time to grow, let's make it so that mine will as well." He cackled again as he disappeared as Harry had.

Back at the battlefield

Kai's body shook as his body suddenly let out a berserk aura full of insanity, as his body started to change. The first change was that he grew larger, his body reaching the size of 20 stories before stopping. He continued to lie down and his body shape changed from the lean athletic body type to a pumped-up body full of enormous muscles.

His skin started to sprout bone armour and between the gaps, his skin turned a deep purple- reaching an almost pitch black shade. The next prominent transformation were his wings, the changed from the feathery wings of a bat to the wings of a leathery bat-like type with sharp thorns coming out of each of his bones.

His head was covered in the boney membrane and became like a devil's skull with two goat's horns coming out of the sides of his temples. Inside his eye sockets, an infernal flame was ignited and sharp needle-like fangs were shaped inside the area where his mouth was meant to be. He had two slits that were meant to be his nose.

At the end of each of his limbs were five enormous claws, not unlike a monkey's. Over his white bone armour were red arcane patterns and coming out of each of his ribs were either a tentacle-like tendril covered in sharp hooks or a spider's leg covered in purple poison that glistened wickedly.

Out of his bottom came a long snake-like tail with a hellhound's head appearing on the tip. The hellhound was no other than the murderous monster Victor White, due to him being the most powerful his presence was felt the most and therefore a unique characteristic was left untouched along with most of his powers.

All in all Kai's body resembled the charming vampire no more, instead, all that was left was a berserk devil. And this devil was currently aiming to attack the enormous dragon in front of him.

(A/N: I'm going to call him Devil Kai for the time being)
