Chapter 525: Too dangerous to be left alive.
'What a bunch of troublesome brats.' Phoenix felt a headache as he looked at the two beings.
Even though he had them surrounded, even though the Demons outnumbered them, he and his forces were still being pressured.
'That woman is so fast and deadly that no Demon can even imagine attacking her.'
'On the other hand, that brat is even worse. These illusions that affect the environment and everyone in them are annoying. Is his mother a succubus or something?'
Although the illusions didn't affect Phoenix, he was still affected by the illusions of the environment, which just went to show how Tatsuya had evolved.
Previously, he couldn't fully affect his environment if the target was aware of the illusion.
'That should be expected, considering they are a more respected Clan of Vampires... Although, I didn't expect so much resistance. The other members of the Fulger Clan have yet to intrude either... Is the Leader of this Clan feeding these Vampires with some special drug?'
Rumble, Rumble!
Lightning fell from the sky, and a few more dozen Demons died.
And this annoyed the Demon Duke:
'I think I should just take this as an expected result. Only my main subordinates can fight them, and these Demons are only serving to slow them down.' Phoenix thought neutrally.
Even though the Pillar Demon of The Phoenix Clan said that these Demons were weak, that was from his perspective.
A Demon horde like that could level a Human city quickly.
Realizing that their numbers were dwindling, Phoenix gestured with his hand, and fireballs flew toward the corpses bringing them back to life.
Even wholly destroyed corpses came back to life, and as long as a 'part' of the Demons' body was nearby, Phoenix could revive them.
That was the power of his Bloodline, and reviving weak Demons didn't cost any energy loss or side effects in Phoenix.
"Tsk." Tatsuya clicked the tongue. They were at an annoying impasse.
And he didn't like it at all. So even though they weren't trying very hard, this Status Quo situation was not to his liking.
[Not ready yet, Mother?]
[Hecate is working on it.]
A Demon came towards Tatsuya, but the man didn't look at it, and when the Demon attacked with fire coming out of its mouth, Tatsuya's image just disappeared, and the Demon's head fell off.
Tatsuya appeared on top of a building and looked at the situation, slightly annoyed.
'This is frustrating. What is this Demon waiting for?' Tatsuya's instincts told him that this man hovering in the air was extremely strong, but why was he so passive?
'Should I provoke him?' Tatsuya had actually been mulling it over for a moment.
He didn't like being in such a passive situation.
'... Worth trying.'
Tatsuya took a deep breath and assumed the Iaijutsu stance.
Rumble, Rumble!
Tatsuya's power exploded around him, putting pressure on everyone present.
"...Oya?"
Sasha stopped running around, stopped on top of a building, and looked at her cousin.
'So much power... He really is diligent.' If Victor didn't exist, Tatsuya would definitely be the most talented Young Vampire.
If there was one person he would lose, it would probably be Ruby.
For a moment, Tatsuya and Sasha's eyes met, and Sasha frowned.
She looked at the Demon in the air, and moments later, she disappeared, leaving streaks of Lightning behind.
"Demon, you're annoying, you glorified flaming chicken."
"..." A vein bulged on Phoenix's head, but he remained calm. He was too old to fall for such childish teasing.
"If you've invaded my fucking territory, at least do it right, stop acting like a passive bitch."
Victoria and Hecate, who heard what Tatsuya said, just looked at each other confused.
"Why is he acting like Victor?" The two asked at the same time.
"Vampire... Our goal is too big for a small-minded being like you to understand."
"Oh? Why don't you explain, then, this grand plan?"
A sneer of disdain crossed Phoenix's face: "...This is not a third-rate movie, Vampire. I will not expose our plans."
Once again, he waved his hand, and all the Demons being killed by Sasha revived and began to focus on Tatsuya.
"I'm surprised you know what a movie is, Demon."
"Being a Duke of Hell has its perks." He spoke with a noble tone.
Tatsuya ignored the Demons that were approaching him, and his power began to grow stronger and thicker.
"Tsk, and to think that a Pillar Demon would be a friendless isolate. Hell really is a depressing place." Tatsuya continued to act like Victor. Why?
He was the most annoying man he knew.
Tatsuya didn't doubt that the words that came out of Victor's mouth could make a stone spit blood in anger. He was very good at provoking people.
Even if it wasn't working much, it was enough to draw the Demon's attention to him.
'... Why is he trying to provoke me?' Phoenix thought in curiosity and mild hostility as he didn't like Tatsuya's disdainful tone.
It went without saying that he was very good at imitating Victor, at least in his disdainful tone.
A Demon was going to attack Tatsuya, but when the Demon's hand came close to Tatsuya, his hand disappeared from existence.
'...So much power...' Even with the visible increase in power, Phoenix was not worried. Arrogance and confidence in his ability at its best.
And above all, he had confidence in his lineage.
Few beings could truly threaten him.
"Haah, why don't you keep playing with the Demons, Vampires? Do not increase my work." He commented.
'...Ryujin.' Tatsuya's eyes began to glow golden.
"I want to at least wipe that smug look off your ugly mug. Then, when you get to Hell, your fellow Demons will laugh at you for losing to a Baby Vampire.'
"...Piece of shit-."
'Now.'
With a bolt of Lightning, Tatsuya disappeared from his position and appeared in front of Phoenix.
And with the same pose as IaiJutsu, Tatsuya's wave of power exploded even more.
'Hakai no sora!'
"Wha-"Phoenix didn't even have time to React, and soon he found himself staring into the maw of a Lightning Dragon.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
'What the hell is that!?' The Eastern Dragon rose towards the skies and lit up the entire territory of Clan Fulger.
"Sasha!"
"I'm on it."
Sasha's body glowed even brighter as massive power poured out of her body and surrounded everyone around her. Her eyes glowed gold, and she was gone in the blink of an eye.
'Erase everyone from existence...' With one goal in mind, Sasha set to work.
In the first second, Sasha gathered all the Demons in one place outside the city, and her body began to undergo changes.
The Demon count surpassed 1000, but that was child's play for Sasha's current speed.
In the next second, more than half of the Demons were out of town.
The power around her body grew more potent, and her speed continued to increase.
By the third second, all the Demons scattered throughout Clan Fulger's territory were clumped up together in one area.
And by the fourth second, the Magic happened.
As she appeared in front of the Demons, Sasha's appearance had shifted at some point, and bat wings of pure Lightning appeared behind her as she assumed a Martial Arts stance and took a deep breath.
She was in her Vampire Count Form, which wasn't very noticeable because of her armor.
The only evidence people could see were the vast wings behind her and her sudden increase in power.
"... That's..." Victoria, who was looking at all this, couldn't help but be shocked, and it wasn't about Sasha's transformation but the pose she was striking.
Making the most of her Lightning, Sasha's wings extended to absurd ranges as if they were being used to discharge excessive energy.
Letting out her breath, Sasha's eyes brightened even more, and her voice reverberated outwards:
"One punch..." And she attacked the air in front of her.
And the result was instantaneous.
FUSHHHHHH.
A flash was seen, followed by Sasha's voice:
"One million hits."
.....
