Bab 392: Ryeis versus Kaizen (Part 3)

When Ryeis was hit by Kaizen, he backed away without a second thought. However, his eyes narrowed as he realized that Kaizen was about to launch another attack without giving him time to recover. Ryeis knew he had to act quickly to defend himself, and just as Kaizen's blade was about to strike him again, the Crystal Sword Warrior nimbly dodged and, in one fluid motion, advanced toward Kaizen with an impressive, almost paranormal speed.

The crowd was stunned as Ryeis revealed these hidden physical abilities. What's more, the wound on his shoulder caused by Kaizen's sword began to heal quickly, and even with the torn bone, it ended up regenerating itself in moments, which would not be normal even with advanced potions, let alone none at all.

At that moment, in the midst of the attack, Kaizen saw Ryeis' eyes glow a deep red and his fangs grow longer, revealing his true nature.

"A vampire?" muttered Kaizen, surprised by the discovery.
