Chapter 122: Chapter 121 Another Strange Vampire
Kutena had no desire to clash with Lis and swiftly dodged the incoming ice cones, knowing that conserving even a little bit of strength was important at this time.
Seeing Kutenaâs relentless pursuit, Lis felt helpless.
âBig brother, Iâm just watching the show, do you have to be so ruthless?â
But turning tail and running wasnât his style, and Lis, with plenty of life-saving tricks up his sleeve, actually wanted to try his hand at a fight.
After all, the evil aura emanating from Kutena was quite prominent in Lisâs eyes.
Conversely, another vampireâs scent of fresh blood was rich but didnât give Lis much of an evil impression.
...
Lis wasnât one to abhor evil so passionately, but he was ready to intervene if it was convenient.
Anyway, the other vampire would soon be arriving.
Telling Angela, who was perched on his shoulder, to hold back for now, Lis waved his magic wand.
Four Rings Magic âBinding Netâ!
A giant web radiating silvery-white light emerged in mid-air and shot towards Kutena.
Lisâs goal was simple, to just delay Kutena for a while.
Kutenaâs expression darkened to the extreme as he saw the huge net flying towards him.
In his view, a little Silver Level Mage daring to resist was courting death.
With a wave of his remaining arm, a sharp blood-colored energy blade sliced Lisâs âBinding Netâ in half, continuing its momentum towards Lis.
After shattering several of Lisâs shield spells in succession, the Blood Blade finally dissipated into the air.
Lis was taken aback, truly, a Gold Level powerhouseâs strike still required his full effort to defend against.
Without any hesitation, Lis used spells one after another to hinder Kutenaâs advance.
Four Rings Magic âFalling Stone Skillâ!
Four Rings Magic âIce Stormâ!
Although the combination of these two spells wasnât very powerful, their ability to restrict the enemyâs movements was exceptionally effective.
Dodging the falling stones imbued with magic power and feeling his speed greatly reduced within the stormy winds mixed with snowflakes, Kutena was growing desperate.
Marion had recovered from the self-destruction of his body and was rapidly approaching; there was no time to entangle with this human Mage any longer.
With a fierce determination, Kutena gathered the sparse blood light around him, and a huge blood-red claw materialized in front of him.
Blood Magic âSacrificial Blood Flame Clawâ!
This was Kutenaâs all-out move; after forming the Blood Claw, the blood-colored spirit light surrounding him had become barely visible.
Upon seeing the Blood Claw, Lis knew it wasnât something he could withstand at the moment, and even Angela would struggle to block it.
It was, after all, the life-risking strike of a Gold Level strongman.
Without a momentâs hesitation, Lis infused magic power into the âStephenâs Teleportation Ringâ he was wearing, activating the Seven-Circle Magic âDimension Shieldâ within it.
An invisible, colorless space partition appeared around Lisâs body, as if he were in a separate space altogether.
When Kutena saw his Blood Claw, which exhausted most of his strength, shatter into nothingness before this Mage without making the slightest ripple, his body, ready to charge through, froze in place.
âWhat is going on, IâŠâ
Before Kutena could regain his composure, an arm pierced through his chest, the hand holding his still-beating heart.
âHeh, how dull.â
Marion withdrew his hand from Kutenaâs chest with a smile. Kutenaâs body, like a ripped sack, fell from the sky, turning into a pile of black ashes before even hitting the ground and scattered in the air.
With Kutenaâs heart in hand, Marionâs smile widened yet a few degrees.
âOh dear, I didnât expect to stumble upon such a fine prey while out for a stroll; lucky me.â
This person⊠must have issues with his mind!
Lis concluded in his heart, feeling somewhat cautious.
From the conversation just now and Moraâs intelligence, this guy had clearly been chasing after the Gold Level Vampire to kill it, and now heâs talking about good luck.
Marion glanced at the Gold Level Vampire heart in his hand, which was still radiating a rich and pure blood energy.
Should he keep it as a gift for the Divine Son?
Marion thought as much, but then shook his head.
This Vampire heart was only average, and due to being heavily injured, the fresh blood energy within it was constantly diminishing; he estimated it wouldnât last until he found the Divine Son.
Donât waste it!
Marion smiled as he, bite by bite, swallowed the entire fresh red heart into his stomach, and a trace of rosiness seemed to appear on his pale face.
Lis watched the gruesome scene unfold before him expressionlessly, feeling no ripples in his heart.
What a joke, he had seen far worse in his previous lifeâwhere was this in comparison?
After Marion finished eating the heart, he descended from the air.
Standing in front of Lis, Marion placed his right hand on his chest and performed an elegant and standard noble courtesy, saying:
âThank you very much for your help, my name is Marion Corren. May I ask, how should I address you?â
Marion was very polite, his elegant demeanor was a stark contrast from just moments ago.
Marion was keenly aware that the young Silver Mage before him was not simple; he felt a legendary aura emanating from the Mage.
As strong as, or even stronger than, His Highness Prince Burns!
Although sometimes he was offbeat, Marion was very clear about who he could touch and who he couldnât afford to provoke.
âHello, my name is Lis Kain, and what I did just now was nothing more than a small effort.â
Lis gave a nod, maintaining respect for the Gold Level strength, but he couldnât help wondering to himself.
Another very strange Vampire has appeared.
âMay I ask what you were doing just nowâŠâ
Looking at the ashes of Kutena, Marion laughed and said:
âJust dealing with some scum that betrayed our ancestor, nothing significant.â
As he said this, Marion glanced at Angela, who was lying on Lisâs shoulder, and narrowed his eyes.
A white⊠bat, a Magic Beast maybe?
Marion didnât feel anything special about Angela, nor did he notice a scent similar to that of those traitors.
Shaking his head, Marion didnât take Angela seriously.
He was quite busy after having spent several days in Bright City without finding any trace of the Divine Son.
Marion slightly inclined in a bow, saying to Lis:
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll take my leave now.â
âThe Kingdom and Church folks will arrive soon, and I donât wish to meet with them, so I will be leaving.â
âI hope thereâs a chance to see you again, Mr. Lis.â
After finishing, Marion disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only the ruined streets around that confirmed that an intense battle had indeed taken place just now.
Seeing the several civilians lying on the ground groaning, Lis did not step forward to heal them but instead walked into a nearby alley to leave the scene.
The City Guard Army would be arriving soon, and those people would receive treatment.
It was better for him to leave first, to avoid any trouble!
