章 29: The Blightfiend
Over the past four years Kai had discovered that there was in fact another rank above the A class creatures, the S class. The S class were hidden from the normal wizarding world due to the fact that they would be to scared to leave their houses.
An S class creature was a much higher threat level compared to the A class creatures. An A class creature could kill between 10- 100 people, but an S class creature could easily kill thousands of people without a lot of effort. There was such a huge difference between the A class creatures and the S class creatures, luckily there weren't many S class creatures in the world.
In the attack on the Court's headquarters there were 5 S class creatures that joined in the attack. In Britain there were a total of 6 S class so almost all of them joined in.
The Blightfiend was one of the S class creatures in the attack. The Blightfiend was a 5 meter tall humanoid creature, with a black bone-like exo-skeleton. It had a thin head with the top of the head fashioned in a type of spiked cone. (Imagine the xenomorph head from alien but bony, shorter and sharp with no skin and flesh.)
It had a thin bony neck and the neck connected to a large wide chest plate exterior, with grooves appearing every few centimetres. Below that was a thin torso that was covered by a smooth black carapace.
Its arms were long and thin with bony armour starting from its shoulders to its wrists. From wrist down, it had a large palm with five big bony talons.
Its legs were composed of two thick thigh bones, while its ankles were much thinner they looked the same as the thigh bones. The feet were made of two large hoove-like feet with extendable talons that gave grip on uneven terrain. The blightfiend had a featureless face apart from two holes in its face where the eyes were meant to be.
Kai believed that the blightfiend was related to the dementors, because they both had similar appearances as well as the same auras, the same despairing feeling around them, as well as `the ability to suck a person's soul out of their body.
The two most terrible abilities of the blightfiend were its soul-sucking ability and its corpse infection. The first was an area of effect soul suck where it absorbed the souls of the targets and became more intelligent and powerful. The second was corpse infection where the blightfiend could place its own special parasites into a corpse where it would reanimate the body while at the same time making the body sturdier and stronger.
The soul suck ability had a crucial disadvantage, it would take a large amount of time for the souls to be absorbed by the blightfiend. However, the ability still caused a huge degree of terror and fright among the wizarding world's executives.
In addition to its innate abilities the blightfiend had outstanding physical strength and defensive capabilities causing it to be a near impossible to deal with. The only weak spot was a small spot in the blightfiend's chest plate. It would cause the creature to freeze for a few seconds halting all of its functions leaving it completely open to attacks.
When Kai originally fought the blightfiend he had to take it away from the battlefield otherwise it would continuously kill more of the court's soldiers and thus couldn't help during the battle field at the beginning.
It wasn't a particularly challenging fight for Kai but if he compared it to the rest of the monsters that he had fought against it was definitely a runner-up for the number one most powerful monster that Kai had fought against.
Now that Kai had to fight against the vampire Blightfiend it would definitely be impossible if he didn't have Bob, the difference was that Kai didn't know how to defeat the new blightfiend.
When the blightfiend walked out to the open instantly it was infected with the vampire venom and the red mist surrounded it like it had with the dragon.
During the 5 minutes that the blightfiend was transforming Kai gave Bob a debrief of the blightfiend's strengths and weaknesses. After 5 minutes the red mist started to dissolve, and Kai and Bob could see two noticeable changes on the blightfiend. It's original black exo- skeleton was now a dark red and it had shrunk from 5 meters tall to 3 meters tall.
Kai prepared himself for the long battle between him and Bob against the blightfiend. As soon as Kai and Bob felt the restraints keeping them in place were removed they dashed towards the blightfiend with their highest speeds.
The blightfiend was emitting pure bloodlust, giving off the aura of destruction and murder. When Kai and Bob reached the blightfiend they each crashed into it from a different direction, exactly how they did previously with the dragon.
However, they had underestimated its intelligence, they had thought that because it became a vampire it had become a murder machine, a being that only cared about killing, nothing else. But that was not the case it now had two white orbs of light that appeared where a normal creature's eyes should have been.
Kai could feel that the orbs of light gave of a sinister light of intelligence, befitting of its demonic appearance. When it saw the two racing towards it, it didn't make any motions until the last moment where it raised both of its long bony arms and smashed them forward in the place it expected Kai and Bob would appear.
Kai and Bob appeared in slightly different positions and the blightfiend had to choose which opponent it had to attack first. Without a doubt, it chose Kai the being that killed it without mercy.
But in that moment, it realised that if it attacked Bob then it would be able to torture Kai for longer, so in the end it chose Bob.
Bob had managed to reach the blightfiend and just when it was about to attack Kai it switched directions and smashed its massive armoured fist into him causing Bob to go flying through the air and land on the ground somewhere close by.
Kai realised that he didn't have Bob as backup and glanced into the blightfiend's sockets, where the orbs seemed to suck the soul out of him. But luckily at the last minute he managed to escape the blightfiend's gaze and jumped out of the way.
It looked surprised at the fact that it hadn't managed to land its punch on Kai. But it instantly rushed towards Kai at the same speed that he could move at, the peak of Mach 8. The blightfiend smashed into Kai and sent him across the field but instantly appeared behind him due to the speed it could move at.
The blightfiend started punching him all over the arena's ground and sky, while Bob had realised that he couldn't rush in blindly at the blightfiend he understood that in order to completely defeat it he had to have a plan.
He had observed the blightfiend ever since it had thrown him during the first exchange and had discovered that it couldn't use its most terrifying ability- the soul suction ability. Maybe it was because that they were in the blood orb or something else, at the moment it only had physical strength and its corpse parasites couldn't do anything to them if they weren't dead.
Now, most would argue that vampires were technically dead, however, the parasites required no mental resistance. I.e. the brain had to have to personality controlling it so that the parasite could send signals to the blightfiend.
So, after watching the blightfiend Bob understood that it could only rely on its physical capabilities, its increased strength, speed and defensive abilities.
Finally, Bob had also observed that its weak spot had moved from its chest to its eyes, or more specifically its white orbs residing in its eye sockets. It had found out this important information because of orbs' flickering slightly meaning that it still wasn't formed properly and needed time to completely form.
Bob finally understood that and shrunk himself to his smallest form which was a mere centimetre long and a few millimetres in height.
The blightfiend had finally finished its erratic movements having been completely satisfied at staying in one spot and giving Kai the beatdown of his life. They were currently in a pit 16 meters deep and constantly increasing in depth with every punch that landed on Kai's body.
Bob had already told Kai his plan mentally so that he wouldn't give up and continue receiving all of the blightfiend's attention.
Bob tried his best to be hidden and slowly crept into the pit that was being obscured by the clouds of dust caused by the destruction of the arena's floor.
Once he got close enough he jumped straight into the blightfiend's eye socket. The blightfiend immediately stopped attacking Kai and screeched loudly.
It tried to stop Bob from attacking the white orb of light but much to its dismay and panic it couldn't do anything. After Bob slashed the first orb with its sharp claws they gave away and the blightfiend started to flail its limbs madly in panic before pushing a talon in the socket that Bob was in.
Bob had to jump out immediately because of the incoming threat, after that he discovered that blightfiend's speed had decreased significantly. In addition to it destroying the blightfiend's orb it also left some of its toxic poisons inside of the socket.
Kai also got up with his battered body and walked unsteadily to the blightfiend. Around him, a red malevolent aura was slowly forming, with each step it condensed from a spectral and ghostly thin veil to a thick dark red smoke.
By the time he had appeared in front of the blightfiend, he had a huge amount of red billowing around him. Kai's eyes were glowing in a demonic red, unlike his usual charming blood red eyes.
He channelled all of the red smoke around him into the blightfiend's feet. He then caused the smoke to slowly rise through its body causing hundreds of small explosions to emanate from each part of his body the smoke passed through.
In addition to the painful explosions going on in the blightfiend's body, Bob who was standing at the side watched as the blightfiend's body grew back to its original 5 metre height and lost its red colouring. It appeared as if Kai could reabsorb the vampire infection and gain more energy than he originally could have from the corpse.
Immediately Kai collapsed on the ground after the blightfiend died, while half of the energy that Kai absorbed from the blightfiend was passed on to Bob.
Kai's copy later announced that due to their battles today they would be getting a break to recover to their top conditions.
