Chapter 312: Elimination, Full Power
The trio and Amu looked at the six vampires. Five were Royal order powerhouses, and the last was an Empyrean order, level 329.
Vampires arrived speedily and floated before Erix and others, scanning them with narrowed eyes and assessing the situation quickly.
"Erix, Rin. They got around a thousand people as cattle. They suck their blood every day and keep them alive with food," Aria said with her voice slightly cracking.
Aria was sad and angry because, in the memories she read from Jakal's mind, she saw Jakal going to their area and seeing those human cattle. People of varying ages, young and old both.
"It seems that you wiped out our allies," said the Empyrean order vampire who looked in his late twenties with a faint smile as he looked at Erix.
'His aura is strange…What exactly is his Power level?'
On the other hand, Erix inspected the Empyrean-order powerhouse and saw his Power level because he didn't conserve his natural aura and blocked inspection.
He wanted Erix to see his power level and scare him into submission.
Usually, people could prevent others from checking their Power Level after this function appeared.
Weaker ones would do that to prevent looking weak.
[???] [Level]: 329 [Powerl level]: 103,490
Erix's face turned weird. 'How am I stronger than this Empyrean order? Sure, he is still early Empyrean order, but…'
Shaking his head, Erix laughed.
Rin also coldly smiled, 'Aria, get ready. We'll take out the Royal order trash while Erix will handle that Empyrean order.'
'Let's see if they are intelligent first,' Erix said.
A Nihilir Wisp appeared above Jakal. It touched him and entirely dispersed him into faint dark hazy purple particles that soon vanished.
"Your allies are gone," Erix said with a smile as more Nihilir Wisps appeared, and erased the remaining three leaders.
However, the vampire leader who was seven feet tall and hands behind his back didn't react much.
The other five vampires in black robes also floated silently behind the leader.
"They are weak, so they are gone. My name is Remelik," said the Empyrean order vampire with a calm smile on his face. "We belong to the Rorus vampire clan, situated just fifty kilometers away, into that Twin-Stone Vally."
"We can offer you our alliance. As a clan, we have access to exclusive resources, items, and methods. As long as you become our ally, we can have relations of mutual benefits with your guild."
"I presume that guild is Unfettered Fate," Remelik added with a smile.
However, he saw the eyes of Rin and Aria oozing hostility while Erix narrowed his cold, ruby crimson eyes.
'Kill them.'
Erix's eyes flashed silver, exerting his full power and affecting the space around to hold the five vampires.
Rin and Aria's eyes also shined before their figures blurred, and their powers surged.
'FOOLISH!' Remelik internally shouted at this situation, not expecting these three Royal-order to court death.
However, when he actually felt the power of the other party, a wave of shock assaulted him.
'Space element…'
Remelik saw a punch projectile arriving at him right as his wide claw-projectile attack released.
However, Remelik saw that the beautifully chaotic dark purple punch with volatile formation struck his claw and utterly obliterated him, while the shockwaves pushed him back, even shredding a portion of his Prana Kavach.
Remelik's heart shook.
'That purple flame wasn't just an attribute-concept of flame!…what was that?'
While he was in his thoughts, his back turned utterly cold as he noticed the presence of his subordinates vanishing.
His eyes focused ahead in the starlight flow that blocked his vision.
He saw Rin wielding her Katanas, but the one that shocked him was Aria as he felt a familiar power.
'Soul power! I haven't awakened it yet, but this girl already did?'
'I can't fucking stay here!'
Remelik's entire body turned blood red and scattered, turning elemental as he tried to run.
Remelik knew Aria's soul power was capable of suppressing his capabilities.
Soul Pressure was a terrifying thing for those with unawakened souls since it could directly suppress Magic power and even spirit power, lowering their combat power.
Remelik knew that if he stayed there, he would die.
Alas…
"You can't escape."
What Remelik saw before him was Erix, floating with a strange dreamy dark purple scarf that floated behind him, through his arms.
Six chaotic orbs filled with Nihilir, Vigor, and Death energy, coated in nano-metal floated behind Erix.
Erix's upper body was bare, showing a lean and shapely body lining with no fat and pure pristine condensed muscles. His lower body's outfit had changed into a black loincloth with dark gold energy, made from his Bloodline's passive Bloodline essence.
His Combat Art didn't have this addition, but he added it after getting his bloodline and changing his get-up.
However, his entire body had strange patterns and lining, faintly pulsing with hazy dark purple, gleaming sharply.
"We are pretty close in Power level," Erix grinned as he smacked his fists.
"Use your domain on me. Let's see if you can kill me."
*Crr...*
Erix consumed 30,000 Prana to activate this recently modified and created Combat Art.
Celestial Chaos Form. He kept the same name because it suited this form even more.
The Chaotic Orbs that were his ultimate fuel looked like celestial bodies, and his appearance was no less befitting to it.
His entire body was acting as a huge formation nexus to utilize his energies in the most proficient way possible, thus helping him execute his strongest arsenal of powers.
No other skill and technique they get or had could match Rin's and Erix's peak creations that utilized their powers best. Their strongest arsenal.
Skillcrafts.
Remelik gulped. He had an ominous feeling, but there was no other choice left to him by this new enemy.
Remelik roared and used his domain, disappearing from the material world as they appeared in a blood-red world with a shadowy forest.
The trees, flowers, mountains, rivers, everything looked shadowy and not clearly physical.
Remelik hid, his presence entirely vanishing.
'I'll ambush him!'
This was his specialty. An Assassin-clan, and assassin-type powers.
Main elements: Blood, Shadow, and Mist.
Remelik focused on Erix.
Erix floated above the forest, calm and collected, his spiritual mystic eye's radar expanding, but unable to find Remelik.
'Interesting.'
"Alright. The first strike is yours," Erix shouted with a grin. "But know that the moment you start, I will also start."
Remelik didn't waste time and didn't hold back.
'Spear of Alucard: Blood Shade.'
Consuming 50,000 Prana and 15,000 Spirit force, Remelik neared the end of his main reserves.
'If only I had saved some Blood Essence…' Remelik regretted but shook it away and focused.
'I only have one chance.'
Erix's spread sense suddenly caught the intention. In the next moment, his sense captured the exposed presence of Remelik along with a destructive phenomenon heading towards him.
In that instant, Erix's intention directed a lock-on at Remelik's position.
His Skillcraft activated.
The six orbs shrank to a pea's size for a moment.
At the same time, Erix's entire body blinked, blurred, and gleamed in an instant before a thumb-sized sphere manifested right before Remelik's eyes, at the precise location marked in his Space Map when Remelik's attack manifested.
'Atomic Chaos Point…'
Erix's thought released, and his Skillcraft unleashed.
This single-target, compacted attack to affect fixed space, was an instantous target skill.
It was not his most powerful Single-target skillcraft.
But it was the fastest yet fatal.
A sphere appeared around Remelik with concentrated gravity at its center point, which was a condensed metal used as a carrier for this gravity prison sphere.
That same metal was also the volatile point where the entirety of Erix's attack was constructed.
It exploded and the gravity space sphere turned chaotic silver, entering into Space Limbo and exploding automatically after breaking the domain and material plane's space.
The intensity and destructiveness were far out of Remelik's defense, which he hadn't even prepared properly due to making a sore mistake at the very last end.
Remelik's existence was erased with that attack.
He thought since he got the first strike, his attack would hit Erix first and kill him.
But despite releasing his attack first, Erix managed to target his Skillcraft at him.
And…Remelik's attack also managed to hit Erix.
The Spear of Alucard squarely struck Erix's chest a moment after Erix's attack activated.
The ominous spear was no small attack.
It was Remelik's strongest ambush attack, and it indeed gave hell to Erix.
Enveloping him in a razor-sharp shadowy blood barrier, Erix was attacked at the micro-level physically, shredding his skin, flesh, bones, and organs.
His Life Orb drastically reduced and reached 0%.
A burst of death aura exploded outward, turning Erix into a pristine dark gold skull figure, shining, and giving a majestic vibe.
"Welp, time to become the skeleton king for a while," Erix shrugged as a robe appeared around him.
Rin and Aria arrived.
"You died," Rin rolled her eyes.
"Haha," Erix laughed and nodded. "I wanted to take on his attack. It was powerful."
"Hehe, Erix can experiment with death," Aria giggled. "Alright, let's finish the matter here. We have to bring Aaron back to his mother fast."
"They must miss each other so much."
...
The trio arrived beside Amu, who had Aaron safely within its slime protection.
The two thousand-five hundred people had an interesting expression. Nobody was high or drunk.
Everyone had a crystal clear mind at the moment and a singular thought.
It was to listen to whatever those people before them say and obey them like good dogs.
