บท 99: Fear, Tension and Apathy

A/N: Volume 4 will be mostly devoid of Minion content. It will come back in Volume 5 in the War Arc. The Vampire Arc will give William a chance to increase his own personal strength and defeat some vampires which I've been wanting to write about for a while.

How on earth is this {Shadow Realiser} thing meant to work?

At the moment, I'm basically just whittling the vampire down with pure strength. He was like a ball of violence, attacking everything, without any hesitation. I wasn't sure if that was the nature of all vampires or if it was due to something else. He seemed to be craving blood, so it might have been due to that.

Whatever the case, I wasn't going to let him drink my blood.

As he continued to pursue me, I swung [Tengen-Ko-Rin], deflecting his weapon. However, it was pretty clear that he significantly outmatched me when it came to melee combat. His movements were incredibly fast and fluid, breaking my guard.
