Capítulo 156: Animal
Vismarck and Bleight didn't stand idle after their first moves, using the unrelenting wave of bodies and shadows collapsing all around the heroine, they stayed sharp.
The vampire focused on the raging blood inside of some monsters, extending his control of their blood, he took control of their bodies, manipulating them in hopes of catching Superstes off guard.
The bloodthirsty monsters were easy targets after all, mixing in some that actually seemed to think should throw her off.
'Not enough...' he expanded the number of puppets, gritting his teeth as he felt the strain of him pushing the limits of his abilities.
Bleight on the other hand, focused on taking control of the shadows of the raging monsters, shaping them into solid weapons that could strike from any angle and at any time.
Superstes's face was not only distorted by all of the hits but also by her expression, it was like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, though she wasn't feeling like doing either.
She wasn't feeling anything right now, she was only focused on moving and killing.
Every single lapse in her judgement resulted in another nasty injury.
A blade of shadows slashed her neck, another cut into her arm down the bone.
Claws struck her face, almost taking one of her eyes on its path of destruction.
At this point, the right side of her face was nearly completely messed up, pretty much gone.
Her teeth were either missing, broken or exposed, blood flowed endlessly and her eye no longer had anything to blink with.
No expression could be made out on her face anymore.
The left side of her face was relatively well off in comparison, she had mostly received blunt force trauma on this side and some light cuts.
Rising her fists, she threw out two punches in different directions, one went right through an iron-covered monster's chest, sending its heart flying out the other side and right in another monster's face.
The other wasn't an actual punch, at the last moment, she shifted her attack into a grab, pulling out a good portion of some abomination's sharp teeth, each of them were thrown at the foreheads of monsters, killing them instantly.
'What the hell is happening?!' Vismarch and Bleight both thought in unison.
Somehow, Superstes was gaining ground on the unstoppable tide.
The monsters were getting torn apart, the shadows destroyed with ease.
As they felt the fear in their hearts growing stronger, Superstes noticed something on the ground, amidst the blood and gore, she noticed the redcap goblin's dagger.
Making the best impression of a bright smile, she carved her way through ogres, minotaurs and trolls to get a hold of it.
Were the monster's not unnaturally enraged, they probably would have experienced the same thing as Helsincer had.
Instead, they were simply blinded and the golden radiance once again came back.
Normally, Superstes would first imbue a blade with her golden energy and then extend its glowing blade.
It was a process that needed her to split the two steps, now however, those two actions were merged into one seamlessly, as if that had always been possible, Superstes accomplished this feat and swung her blade twice.
Another thing to note was that only Slaughter Lord's Mastery could handle her radiance, any other weapon would crumble in less than a second.
The heroine from yesterday would have never been able to achieve such a feat of speed.
The Superstes of today was different, with her first swing, she decimated all of the raging monsters and shadows.
Before Vismarck and Bleight could register that it had happen, the shadow monster was vertically cleaved in half, the two pieces of him falling to the ground as he failed to understand that he had been killed.
The dagger crumbled into dust and with all of the corpses now fallen, Vismarck was the only one left standing.
Moving into a combat pose, he didn't let himself be consumed by the gnawing terror invading every bit of his body.
'She even got the ones underground and in the air...'
Superstes could clearly feel the fear the vampire was experiencing.
He looked like a little child stuck in a corner as the boogeyman slowly closed in on him.
"Aah, I wish I could feel something..." lamented Superstes, Vismarck didn't understand a single word of what she said, sounding more akin to some strictly marine animal trying to make sound while on dry ground.
Yet, the vampire didn't turn and try to run away.
He understood his role and he accepted it wholeheartedly.
'I can't let her live' now he knew just how much of a threat she was, he had doubted it before, but he was now certain that she could aim her blade at the Obsidian Queen's neck.
"Gather" he snarled, all of the blood that had been spilled and that remaining inside of all of the corpses was brought together into a floating sphere above him.
Absorbing part of it into his own body, Vismarck felt his power surge.
His eyes had turned completely red as he enhanced every part of his self to beyind his limits.
He was going to lay down his own life, whether he won or failed, death would be the only outcome for him.
"Long live the queen" he muttered as he began walking forward, Superstes did the same.
Both began to pick up speed, with his undead body enhanced, Vismarck was able to see the heroine's attack.
'So fast!' he couldn't but remark, as even then he needed to put his all into dodging.
Blood discs manifested from the hovering orb, which Superstes evaded for the most part as she rushed the vampire down.
Vismarck was able to evade her strikes and counter attack with a single punch to the chest, still, his expression grew grimmer.
'I need to finish this quickly' he coudn't try to wear her down, not only because he was on a time limit too but also because, somehow, each and every single of her attacks was faster than the last.
She was growing more powerful every single second!
'How am going to put down this animal?!'
