The laughter of the Vampire echoed across the Domain of Divine Blood, as enormous rivers of Divine Blood began flowing all across, reinforcing the Domain while the rest of the Vampires coming here to slay us appeared one after the other. They were all wearing high level divine armor and holding divine weapons, and unlike monsters, might be harder to deal with… or not.
"Welcome! I've been waiting you for a long time now…!" Red laughed evilly, as she looked at us as if we were mere insects. "The Ice Dragon with the strange regenerative powers… I've heard about you from my… colleagues. Former colleagues, that's it. You've brought quite the boring group with you this time around! Where is that powerful woman that Greenwood wanted so badly back then?"
"Oh, her? Well, she just finished beating his ass." I said. "For like the tenth time already?"
"…What?" Red suddenly felt a bit surprised. "Well, whatever nonsense you talk about, it won't even impact me! I've prepared for you a special surprise, now have a good time being slaughtered by all these powerful Vampires I have personally enchanted with my powers… and which I also control with them! They were quite… unwilling to cooperate at first, but everything becomes as I want, always…"
Suddenly, I noticed several strings of red divine power connected to the over twelve Divine Vampires we were confronting, they were all puppets. This is why their eyes seemed so lifeless. She perhaps used some sort of power to take over their minds, souls, and bodies, and turn them into unconditional puppets for her…
"You bitch!" Suddenly, Rakasha roared back at her.
"Huh? How dare you speak to me like that you lowly giant?!" Red asked angrily.
"Give me back Ruby! Give me back… my daughter!" Roared Rakasha. "I have raised her for years now! Give her back to me! You damned witch!"
"Oh, you must be her adoptive father…" Laughed Red. "Well, Ruby now is… about to become one with me, pretty much?"
"What?! What do you mean…?!" Asked Rakasha.
"Her power and her blood, all of it will be mine! And with that, I will also acquire the power of the Venerable of Blood, you foolish old man! She'll be torn to shreds and feed to me!" Laughed Red.
"W-What?!" Rakasha once more asked. "Y-You… I won't let this happen! I WON'T!"
"What can you even do? Even if you've gotten a bit stronger… You're still a pathetic weapon crafter. What can an old and pathetic man like you, decrepit and that probably wasted his entire life pointless do for her? You don't even deserve her anyways! You're unworthy." Red laughed.
"Unworthy…? I… I am not a mere Blacksmith… I'll show you." Rakasha's eyes glowed bright orange and red, as if flames surged from within his very soul. "I'll show you!"
"Keep babbling all you want… Now boys and girls, get em'! The first one to get me the head of that old man will get a raise, bwahahahaha!" Red laughed like the cliché villainess she pretended to be, as her phantasmal projection quickly disappeared.
Seconds after, the Vampires quickly flew towards us from all directions. Their powerful weapons, armor, and magic quickly being unleashed. We had no time to waste here lamenting things.
"We had to get rid of them all and get to Red and Ruby as quick as possible! That bitch must be trying to do something to Ruby as we speak!" I commanded the rest of my group. "[Divine Soul Forging]! [Divine Ice Dragon Scale Armor] x20!"
I quickly conjured two powerful buffs on everyone, including me. The last one was actually a powerful spell which I could conjure up to twenty times, its effects stacking that much. It enhanced defense to an insane level and once broken, another layer of this defense would take place.
"Divine Spirit Creation: [Primordial Ice Dragon Golems Spirits]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
To make up for our smaller numbers, I quickly summoned over fifty powerful temporary divine spirits converged with the ice golem creation powers I had. Enormous ice golems in the shape of dragons appeared, quickly clashing against the Vampires, surprising them!
CRAAASH!
CLAAASH!
BOOOMM!
"Everyone, don't get separated, fight in at least pairs, my ice golem dragons will look for your back! [Divine Slime Creation]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
And as if that wasn't enough, I created a hundred tiny slimes from red, blue, and green colors, which all flew out of my flesh and jumped into the heads or equipment of my allies, while others spread out and began to fight.
"Holy Spear Arts: [Shining Pierce]!"
Hector quickly brought my attention, as I saw him soaring across the skies through the powerful light emanated from his Divine Light Spear. The element of light was specially useful against Vampires. The tall and muscular Vampire he was fighting, covered from head to toe on black armor and wearing two red axes was quickly pierced from his chest with his strong attack!
CLAAAASSSSHH!
However, the Vampire stopped the blow, as Hector found himself stuck on his chest!
"Ngh?!" Hector looked at the Vampire's red eyes in surprise.
"Bwahahahaha!" The Vampire began to laugh at his face. "Fool, for us Vampire Gods, light is no longer a problem!"
The Vampire laughed at Hector's face, raising his two enormous axes as his divine aura erupted from his body, attempting to slice him into pieces!
"Blood Battle Axe Arts: [Divine Blood Cross]!!!"
FLAAASSSHH!
His two red axes unleashed a combined attack in a cross-shape, reaching Hector in an instant and blowing him away!
BAAAAMMM!!!
"Unnnggh…!"
However, the armor resisted the immensely strong blow greatly, as the cursed aura from within this armor began to overflow all over Hector's body, enhancing his power in exchange for draining his energy, the effects of he armor's curse which had been simply strengthened even further as it became a Divine Armor!
"Not… YET!"
Hector's Divine Spear shone with bright light, as it suddenly shoot out a ray of holy light right into the Vampire's face!
"Wha…?!"
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
