Chapter 526: Too dangerous to be left alive. 2
"One punch..." And she attacked the air in front.
And the result was instantaneous.
FUSHHHHHH.
A flash was seen, followed by Sasha's voice:
"One million hits."
And soon a familiar scene ensued.
A massive straight line of destruction followed by a gigantic explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
All Demons were evaporated from existence.
Then another explosion occurred in the sky.
Two simultaneous explosions caused small earthquakes all around.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Victoria rose from her chair in shock, unable to contain herself any longer.
"Just how old is my niece? 23? 25? How can she use this technique!?"
Hecate was too shocked to comment while she just watched.
"Even if it's a weaker version, that's absurd!"
It was worth mentioning that Natashia could only utilize this technique when she became an Elder Vampire and wholly Mastered the Vampire Count Transformation.
The simple act of using this technique was absurd from Victoria's perspective.
Sasha fell to the ground, removed her helmet, and lightly coughed blood on the floor.
"Haah, even with my father's Bloodline strengthening me and my resistance training, the backlash is still this strong?" Sasha felt her arms hurt like mad.
In that brief split-second she attacked, she'd used all her concentration to attack a million times in the same spot, all in a minimal amount of time.
She looked up, and when she saw the havoc she had caused, she smiled softly, "Come back to life now, idiots."
She stopped smiling and took on a severe expression, and ignoring her aching body, she took her helmet and put it back on.
Rumble, Rumble.
Tatsuya appeared near Sasha.
"Cousin, you're scary..." That was Tatsuya's honest opinion as he looked at the sight in front of him. That wasn't the power of a Baby Vampire!
"...I can say the same for you, cousin." Sasha shrugged her shoulders as she looked at Tatsuya, who didn't look tired even after unleashing that attack he used when fighting Pheonix.
The two smiled softly, then their expressions turned serious, and they looked up at the sky.
Specifically toward the clouds.
As if he were an Angel coming out of the sky, a man with wings of fire descended and looked around.
"...The Demons are gone... Vanished from existence." Phoenix's shocked tone was evident.
'Not even a piece of burnt meat is left behind. Everything is gone.'
The Demon Duke's eyes focused on the two beings.
That interest and laziness he had were no longer visible. He was serious.
[The Magic is ready.]
[Wait for my signal.] Sasha spoke up.
The two looked at the Demon floating in the air.
Phoenix had to reassess the situation.
This was no longer a time-buying job.
'They are young Vampires and already have that kind of strength. So what happens when they get stronger?'
'The fruit must be plucked while it is still young. My King's plans cannot be obstructed...'
"You are too dangerous to be left alive..." Slowly Phoenix's human flesh began to unravel, and all that was left was a humanoid being entirely made of fire.
Slowly, this form began to unravel as the man's body grew, and a red plate of armor resembling a mask appeared on his face and covered his mouth.
Horns grew on his head, a long tail grew, his legs became more inhuman, and sharp, fire-covered claws appeared on his hand.
"...." The two braced themselves, and they swallowed.
The change was noticeable. This time the Demon was serious.
A fiery red aura was leaking from Phoenix's body, and a miasma began circulating in the area.
[Don't breathe the Miasma! It's toxic! Even with your regeneration, you will be rendered weak!]
Unfortunately, the two didn't have time to react when the Demon appeared in front of them.
Being speed experts, Sasha and Tatsuya dodged the Demon's attack... At least, they tried.
"Cough..." Tatsuya coughed up blood as his stomach was pierced by Phoenix, and his body was thrown to the ground ahead.
'My illusion is not working!' He looked down and saw four black holes in his stomach, his stomach was burned, and Miasma was leaking out of him.
"Having speed and knowing how to use them in combat with someone of greater strength and experience..."
Rumble, Rumble!
Sasha appeared behind the Demon and attacked its head.
"Is different from being used on lesser beings." Phoenix turned his face suddenly and looked at Sasha.
'F-Fast!'
"Even though my full speed isn't faster than the two of you... I'm more experienced, and because of that, I can use my peak burst speed more efficiently."
How many fights did Phoenix fight in Hell?
Hundreds? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Even as a Duke of Hell, he still fought to this day.
His experience was vast, and he often fought beings faster than him.
Phoenix dodged Sasha's attack, and at this moment, he approached Sasha.
Just as he was about to pierce the woman's body, she disappeared.
Not surprised by the woman disappearing, he knew this would happen, and calmly, he looked at Tatsuya.
His leg muscles contracted, and with an impulse, he was in front of the man.
At this moment, Sasha appeared on Tatsuya, grabbed her cousin, and disappeared.
"Tsk, slippery." Even though he knew where she would appear, he was slower.
Sasha looked at the Demon with a severe look.
"Are you okay?" She spoke in a low tone.
"Y-Yeah."
"I told you, you should have trained your lightning."
"Unlike monsters like you and your husband, I must train one thing at a time, and I chose my sword."
Sasha was silent and didn't comment on it.
She knew that if it wasn't for her Darling's 'love', she would have to do the same as Tatsuya.
[Not yet?] Hecate screamed.
[Not yet.] Sasha commented patiently.
Sasha had better omnidirectional speed than the Demon, she was faster, that was her Clan's specialty, and the power she trained the most was her martial arts.
In comparison, the Demon could go from point A to point B in a burst of speed.
He knew how to use his strength and had more experience. He was a formidable opponent.
Wings of fire appeared behind the Demon and spread around him.
Soon an even denser volume of Miasma began to erupt from his body.
"I can't beat her in speed, so let's balance things out a bit." Massive Miasma started to spread all over the place.
[We can't let the Miasma spread any further. The whole territory will be infected, and this place will turn into a new Hell!] Victoria spoke urgently, with a slight concern for her son who was in that state.
[I know.] Sasha couldn't allow that to happen. This was where the food was made, so if the territory was damaged, a famine could occur in Nightingale.
[At my command, unleash your Magic.] Sasha stood up.
[Okay.]
"Don't be a tragic hero, Tatsuya. Are you going to sit there and let me do everything myself?" She created two lightning daggers.
"..." A vein bulged on Tatsuya's head.
"Hah, that's nothing. It's just a flesh wound." Tatsuya snorted in disdain and stood up like nothing had happened. It's not like he had a hole in his belly. He was completely fine.
'Fucking miasma, my regeneration is slower.'
One of the reasons Higher-Level Demons were troublesome to confront was the natural 'Miasma' they emanated. This Miasma was very harmful to all beings that weren't Demons.
And the only beings that could combat this Miasma were beings of 'holy' rank, such as Angels and Gods of Light.
Other than them, they were all subject to the adverse effects of the Miasma, particularly a Miasma that emanated from a Demon Duke.
But... This is not to say that there were no countermeasure techniques for this. It was at those times that Witches shone for their usefulness.
"Use that move at my command," Sasha spoke to Tatsuya.
Tatsuya raised an eyebrow but decided to trust his cousin.
Sasha positioned herself, and her body was covered by Lightning.
And in the blink of an eye, she disappeared and reappeared in front of the Demon.
"Fool, you jumped right into the lion's den."
[Now!]
Hearing Sasha's voice, Hecate quickly spoke in a foreign language.
Two Magic Circles appeared on her hand, and her eyes glowed with power as pure mana was being emanated from her body.
"!@$%!"
FUUSHHHHHHHH.
A giant Magic Circle appeared on top of the Demon and Sasha that stretched across the entire territory.
And the effect was instantaneous.
All the Miasma that was emanating from Phoenix was suppressed.
"Huh?"
Sasha disappeared again and appeared next to the Demon, her daggers gleaming, trying to pierce the Demon.
But her eyes widened as she looked down at the world in slow motion and saw a hot fire emanating from the Demon's tail coming toward her.
Her eyes widened.
'I will be burned!' Again, her Lightning's power grew more substantial, and she entered the Form of a Vampire Count, boosting her speed even more.
She disappeared again and appeared above the Demon.
And this time, the Demon didn't have time to react, while his head was pierced by the daggers.
"HAAAH!" And with a scream, she pushed through with more strength.
Her two daggers grew, and she split the Demon in half.
She pointed her palm at the Demon, and pure Lightning shot out of her hand.
"Annoying bitch." Still alive, Phoenix used his hand and held Sasha's hand and squeezed, breaking Sasha's gauntlet and successfully burning the material. If not for the armor, Sasha's bones would have been broken, and she would have been burned.
He held her in place, and the other half of him attacked Sasha with his fiery claws.
Sasha dodged the Demon's attacks and used her Lightning power to damage her body.
"Tatsuya!"
Trusting his cousin, Tatsuya, who was in the Iaijutsu position accumulating power, spoke:
"Rairyū no Zangeki." A gigantic slash of golden light shot out of his katana and flew toward the Demon and Sasha.
Sasha quickly tried to cut off the Demon's hand but failed since the Demon's skin had become more rigid than before. She looked at the Demon and saw him with a sadistic glow.
"Ugh!" She felt her hands being burned. She gritted her teeth, the fire suddenly increased, and her entire right half was burned.
Taking advantage of this moment of pain, Phoenix attacked Sasha's face with his claws, intending to kill her.
The helmet stopped most of the damage, and by the time the claw cut through the helmet, it had been enough for Sasha to pull herself together and dodge the attack before it slashed her face.
"Annoying speed!"
She didn't have time anymore. She needed to make a quick decision.
She took her dagger and cut her arm, and soon she disappeared from the place.
Tatsuya's massive power covered the Demon's body the second she disappeared.
There was no scream, just the sound of pure destruction.
.....
