Chapter 45: Ultimate Power
"Weep in despair before my ultimate power!" The vampire prince Derkra's face changed, his haughty expression vanished, and his smirk was full of evil.
Sophia suddenly had an ominous premonition, she hurriedly swung her saber and rushed towards the prince, but as soon as she was halfway through, a magic array suddenly appeared on the ground under the prince, and a black gas burst out from his body, and Sophia, who was carrying the power of the stigma, was swept back again and again by the cyclone formed by the black gas. "What is this?" Sophia was surprised to find that the black gas was trying to strip her of her life, and if it weren't for the protection of the Valkyrie armor and the power of stigmata, she would have been a dead person the moment she was scraped by the black gas.
The black gas quickly spread in all directions.
In the past, when the King of Sucking entered the vampire transformation, the magic power released only made the leaves yellow and peel off, but now this black gas has instantly drained the life of the trees. Not only trees, but also grass, moss, beasts, insects, and even fish in the stream, as long as they are living creatures, they will die the moment they come into contact with this black gas.
A large area of the forest was swallowed by the black gas, and the black gas also rushed into the sky, forming a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun, and the sun that had just risen in the early morning was blocked by the dark clouds, and a large area of the woods in the Blood Mountain Range fell into a long night of darkness and death.
Dawning Hills.
It's still far from the battlefield, but it doesn't mean it's safe.
As if sensing that the day was coming, a large number of animals in captivity in the cottage became restless, and frantically stormed the corral in an attempt to escape. As the black air drew nearer, some of the livestock showed symptoms of collapse, fell to the ground, and kept wheezing, and it was not long before they died. Death spread like a plague through the herd, and soon two-thirds of the animals in captivity at Dawning Hills died.
As for Owen and Cassius, because they are protected by the power of the Valkyries, the black gas cannot invade for the time being.
In addition to the captured, wounded, and inactive, the eight sages who could still move in the Dawning Villa gathered on a wide balcony high above the main building, observing the black air of death coming from the woods to the west.
"If we don't stop that mass from spreading, we'll soon be in a food crisis. You Shi was anxious. The rate at which livestock are dying worries her.
"That black breath is very similar to the master's magic, but it feels very strange. Melissa spoke her feelings.
"Master, what the hell has happened to you?" Ionik was now more concerned about the Prince's safety.
"A group of frogs at the bottom of a well. Someone suddenly spoke from behind, "That's the dark magic that the Vampire Prince unleashed when he unleashed the power of the Bloodline. β
The crowd turned their heads, and it was none other than Orome, who had a book in his hand as usual.
As soon as he saw this person, You Shi's face sank, and he said in a questioning tone: "You have to explain what happened before the Blood Cavity Barrier means. β
"I think it's more important to explain the phenomenon in front of me than to dwell on the trivial things. Orome skipped Yus's questioning lightly.
β......β
It may sound like Orom is shirking, but when you think about it, it makes sense. You Shi is not chasing and fighting, anyway, there is more time, and this account can be settled in the future.
"You say this is the master liberating his own blood power? We've seen the master liberate the power of the Bloodline before, and this kind of thing is simply not possible. Melissa shook her head in disapproval.
"That's why you are frogs at the bottom of the well. Orome unhurriedly took out a chair from the spatial ring, then sat down on the chair, opened the book, and resumed his trademark reading posture before he said in a slow voice that could make people die, "The liberation of the blood power of the prince you have seen is only the first liberation of the blood power as your own usual liberation of the blood power, and what you are seeing now is the second liberation of the blood power. β
"Second liberation, is there such a thing?" Leon asked in a tone of disbelief as he looked at his hands.
"That's right. Only by experiencing double liberation is the perfect form to completely release the true power of the blood clan. "Do you think that during these thousand years or so, the prince spent most of his time sleeping? No, he never stopped practicing, and finally 500 years ago, he mastered this power. β
"Master's double liberation!Why don't we know, never heard of it?" Uonik was amazed, for for him, the great butler, there shouldn't be something he didn't know about in Dawning Hills.
Ignoring Ionik, Orome continued: "Since the double liberation requires a lot of energy, that black gas will constantly deprive nearby creatures of their vitality and convert them into energy for the prince's use. β
"Why are we all right?" asked Leon.
"Probably because our blood clan is all undead, and theoretically we are already dead. Yushi voiced her guess.
"That's only half right. Orome replied with a smirk, "If you get too close to the center of that black gas, even the Bloods or other undead will not be able to escape the fate of being absorbed into energy." But don't panic, this black gas is not yet enough to swallow you. The life energy of this forest is probably enough for the prince to fight against the enemy. β
"What kind of enemy is the master fighting with?, could it be that those bastards of the Central Church have mobilized heavy troops to attack us?" Leon would not believe that a human girl who was completely despised by him could force the Vampire Prince to that kind of Cheng DΓΉ.
But Orome did not reply again. It didn't matter who the vampire prince's enemies were, he stayed here to collect as much valuable information as possible about the battle, and it had nothing to do with him.
In the core of the life-devouring black qi, she couldn't see her fingers, her breathing became more and more difficult, and her body gradually became heavy, but Sophia managed to survive and was not invaded by the black qi.
Feeling the cyclone disappear, Sophia opened her eyes, shocked by the scene in front of her. In front of her, there were only two strange dark red light sources, no, they were not light sources, but two eyes, no, there were three such eyes! As her field of vision gradually widened, Sophia saw more clearly that standing in front of her was an unknown creature that had never been recorded in any of the Monster Atlases.
It has a humanoid appearance, brown skin covered in magical runes, muscular muscles, and limbs with bird's claws at the ends, and is still at least three meters tall despite being hunched over. I don't know if it's because of the thick hair on the neck, or if there is no neck at all, the triangular head is like being "mounted" directly on the torso, and there are no lips at the mouth, and you can clearly see the two rows of long, terrifying sharp teeth exposed outside, and there are only two small holes left where the original nose was, and the position of the original eyes on the head are two eyes with four pupils, in addition, the third eye is opened on the forehead. There is a pair of huge wings that resemble moths or butterflies on the back. Behind the buttocks is a tail about 5 meters long, like a steel cable.
Mothman! This is the name given to this extremely dangerous and mysterious creature by humans from another plane.
If it weren't for the claws on its right forelimb still clutching the familiar two-handed heavy sword-"endless sigh", Sophia would not have associated this monster with the bloodsucking prince Dekra, who was cold-blooded and cruel but always maintained his aristocratic temperament.
"Dead girl, you're going to die here!" the monster didn't speak, but the vampire prince's voice came from the monster's belly.
In this form, the human vocal cords have been deprived and they can only speak in other ways.
"Vampire Prince, this is what you call ultimate power, turn yourself into a monster?" Sophia questioned the Mothman.
However, the Vampire Prince, the Mothman, did not answer Sophia's question at all, and let out a series of grotesque wild laughs, raised his sword and slashed at Sophia. A heavy and huge two-handed heavy sword, under such a body shape, it looks like a dagger. Sophia raised a saber thinner than a "dagger" to block the grid. But the strength of the Mothman's sword swing on this day can not be compared to the vampire transformation after the first liberation of the vampire prince before?
"Ah......h
You can't get entangled with this monster in an open place. Sophia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and thought.
Her eyes fell on the dead woods next to her, and she immediately stood up, turned and rushed into the woods. Speeding through the dead trees, the obstacle environment had a slowing effect on the sheer size of the Mothman, but Sophia knew that the woods wouldn't be in the way for long, because the relentless laughter and crashing sounds behind her never stayed away. The Mothman didn't pay any attention to the trees that stood in its way, and it went on a rampage along the way, crushing large swaths of dead trees and trampling them under their feet, and it wasn't long before the woods would be as empty as the black rocks just now.
What the hell should I do?" Sophia dodged through the woods as she thought of a way out of it. Owen, what would you do if it were you? Joyka, what would you do? Help me!
Sophia waved the saber in her hand, and instead of running away, she slashed at the dead trees around her as she ran, and threw the pole back to attack the Mothman. But the attack of the tree pole was no different from a piece of paper to the Mothman, and Sophia's feeble resistance made the monster's laughter even more exciting.
However, Sophia didn't expect the tree pole to take down the Mothman, she just had to block the latter's view a little. In fact, it is true, there are more and more tree poles smashed over, and the mothman can no longer see Sophia's figure, and wherever there is a tree pole, it will rush wherever it flies.
At this time, a thicker dead tree mixed with several tree poles smashed towards the mothman, who stretched out his claws without a sword and mechanically pulled the dead tree and the tree pole away, but he didn't expect Sophia to hide behind the dead tree, taking advantage of the moment the monster's claws touched the tree pole, Sophia suddenly jumped out, stepped on the monster's claws with her toes, and jumped to the back of the mothman with this as a focal point.
The larger the enemy, the more dead spots there are. At this time, Sophia, who landed between the two moths' wings, was in the blind spot of the mothman's attack, and she half-crouched and raised her knife at the mothman's head......
However, Sophia ignored that the Mothman's weapons were not only swords and limbs, and when she found the 5-meter-long tail sweeping towards her, she quickly gave up the attack and left the Mothman's back, but it was too late, and her left small foot was already entangled in the black tail. The Mothman stopped running, picked up its tail, and smashed Sophia into the dense woods next to it!
The hapless Sophia is like a farmer's scythe for cutting wheat, sweeping away a large area of trees. After smashing the woods on the left, the Mothman picked Sophia up again and threw her towards the woods on the right!
How could Sophia be at her mercy?, she forcibly lifted the armor from her left calf, the armor disintegrated into magic and disappeared, and Sophia's foot was freed from the entanglement of her tail. She used the force of her body being thrown out to speed up and quickly bounce between several trees. The Mothman only saw a silver shadow flickering through the trees, and the direction of its disappearance was pointing behind it.
Suddenly, a silver point of light struck from the Mothman's left hand!"Hehee!" With such an obvious attack, how could the Mothman not be able to see clearly?It swept its tail towards the silver dot and turned its body to the left. But when the tail swept the target, it was found that the size of the target was unexpectedly small, and the three four-pupiled demon eyes looked at it, and the item flying over turned out to be a right calf ankle!
At the same time, Sophia's body leaped out of the right hand of the Mothman, and before the Mothman came back to his senses, the knife in both hands used the speed of the leap to slash!
"Cross-......"
Black blood gushed from the wound on the Mothman's lost right arm. Sophia landed on the ground in a half-crouching position, her hands still holding the knife and slashing motion.
Two seconds later, the right arm, severed by the saber, and the two-handed heavy sword clutched on the claw, fell heavily in front of Sophia.
