Kapitel 98: The Vampire's Crypt - IV

As if to purposefully mock Alvira for her overconfidence, the vampire boss suddenly erupted into a cloud of red mist, completely enveloping the party.

"Why did you have to jinx it." Zankoku yelled as he attempted to escape the mist. "It has a second phase."

Merlin quickly leapt out of the mist's range. He found that his vision was partially obscured by red blotches in his eyes, and his attempt at wiping it away didn't work well enough.

Merlin watched as his party stumbled out of the mist, it seemed that a couple of them had been completely blinded, and a couple were coughing out what looked like blood.

The mist slowly gathered back into the shape of a human before dissipating, leaving the vampire standing there, seemingly unhurt.
