Once Dracula powered up his sword attacks to 100%, even Max had to break a sweat.
At the level that they were at, both of them could land close to 100-120 sword strikes within a second meaning that the margin of error was close to non-existent.
Naturally, this speed was only possible if a single side was dominating and in a more balanced and realistic scenario both could only throw about 40 blows per second since the recoil of their attacks as well as gauging the body movement of the other needed to be simultaneously processed alongside the sword work.
Even then, the speed of their fight was not something an average god could even witness as to him it would only appear as hazy shadows and sparks.
Max was constantly searching for openings in Dracula's stance, he wanted to take advantage of even the most microscopic mistake and Dracula was doing the same, however, his endgame was not to stab Max but to drag him to a different dimension.
The first opening was created when Dracula's sword was parried into a wide-arc by Max's superior strength, giving him the chance to attempt a stab manoeuvre.
As Max thrust his sword forward with the intention of piercing Dracula's abdomen, the veteran used his wide sword arc to parry Max's thrust off its mark as it missed Dracula's abdomen and pierced the empty space beside.
Nonetheless, the miss brought the two warriors in extremely close proximity of one another in a deadlock where neither had enough space to wield their swords as the only thing left to do was to headbutt.
Max attempted the headbutt, trying to inflict as much damage as possible to Dracula, however, the cunning primordial vampire who had secretly been preparing the special move [ Dark Dimension ] found the perfect opportunity to use it as he mouthed the words " Dark Dimension "
A primal gravity pull as strong as that of a sun suddenly pulled both Max and Dracula into a miniature black hole as both warriors were sucked straight into it without having the chance to protest as the two were dragged out of the three dimensional universe and entered a completely different dimension.
" What the fuck?" Max cursed as the dimension he had been dragged into was darker than space.
There was absolutely no visibility whatsoever and the only senses that worked was [ Way Of The Wind ] which told him that Dracula was standing not too far away from him.
Analysing his predicament, Max realised that he was within a dimension similar to the void dimension since he could feel a concentrated void energy in his surroundings mixed with equally strong darkness energy.
" Hahaha, welcome Max Rajput, welcome to the pits of hell!
Rest assured, big brother is never going to find a way into this realm, neither is his pet the universal queen.
Here… in this realm, we are all alone " Dracula said in the most content and evil voice as he felt relieved that his plan had finally paid off.
He had worked hard for months to realise this very moment and now that it finally became a reality he could not be more satisfied about how things turned out.
The only thing that he wished for at this moment was to see Max's face in despair, unfortunately though there was no light in this realm of darkness and hence he could not see the fearful expression of his opponent.
In his mind, Dracula was convinced that Max only had the courage to fight him one on one because he knew that if things went south his brother would always bail him out, however, that was no longer going to be the case.
Since his very life was on the line he would no longer fight like he had nothing to lose and would be paralyzed by fear just like all the other opponents that Dracula had faced uptil now did when facing him.
Max's silence to his taunt was even more proof for Dracula that he had successfully scared the kid off, however, he wished to rub it in a bit more.
" If I wish to escape this realm, then I can move out of it now … I can just leave, but you!
You my raceman, you cannot.
You will forever be imprisoned within the depths of this hellish place where there is not a single ounce of light.
You will never see the colour of your own skin, you will never see the faces of your loved ones except in your dreams.
Even if I don't kill you here and just leave, I have already won this fight " Dracula said as he wished to mess up Max's mental state even more.
In reality, he did not plan on leaving Max alive in here, since he would often need to retreat back to this place for the future years to come and it would be difficult to do so with an enemy always lurking within.
However, it felt good to mess with the mindset of an opponent before killing them as he thoroughly enjoyed this intimidation session.
Unfortunately for him, however, little did he know that Max had already attained a complete mastery over the void and darkness element as a tier7 promoter.
What took him months to understand and master were but basic concepts for Max as with only five minutes of clear headed thinking gave him a way out of this impregnable realm that Dracula was so proud of.
[ Fireball ]
Activating a small fireball Max lit up his surroundings a bit as he looked into Dracula's eyes with the most bored expression ever.
" Here- I just saw the color of my skin. And yeah, I'm bored, I'm leaving this realm, feel free to join me in the real world, or else I'll just drift back in and beat the shit out of you here if that's what you are into-" Max said as Dracula's face turned ashen pale.
This was not how he thought this conversation would go?
This was his ultimate revenge plot! This was his carefully crafted plan that was infallible!
" You're lying! You can't escape thi-"
Before Dracula could even complete his sentence, Max casually walked out of the realm as if the whole spell was a joke, leaving Dracula behind to wallow in despair and contemplate his entire life choices.
" Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! This must be some non-detection sorcery! You have not escaped the realm but have became undetectable?
You will attack me when I'm not looking right?
Ha-
I've seen through your schemes Max Rajput! Reveal yourself!
These petty tricks won't work on a lord of my stature-" Dracula shouted, half Mad and half hoping that his hypothesis came true, however, unfortunately for him, Max had truly escaped this prison and as a result his own mental state had significantly degraded.
The carefully crafted plan that took him months to master had been broken by a young boy within minutes.
To think that it would have even worked slightly against the supreme lord? The very concept was laughable and Dracula felt like a fool.
Although no words were spoken and no-one was within the dark realm to mock him, the embarrassment he felt at this moment was truly boundless.
