24 A Shot at the Dark pt2 (1/2)

The crowd had started spamming their abilities, the whole area had been bathed in chaos but Zarra remained at ease while Rodolfo was blocking and deflecting religiously. Draig stared at this stark contrast giving a clear sign at the difference in strength between these two.

He flitted around the people attacking crazily before raising a clawed hand and snatching Rodolfo away silently allowing everyone to focus on Zarra while he ate.

Away from the battlefield Draig ate quickly soon leaving nothing of Rodolfo other than his skills he had assimilated and archived.

'Dark Arts upgraded: level up 70/300'

”It seems the more profound a skill or ability the higher the level cap is” noted Draig for later research

He soon reappeared on the battlefield, Zarra still sat there as if nothing could move him causing Draig to smirk at the foolishness.

Floating higher into the air Draig reformed his body from the mist before poising his claws back as the Emperors Blood took effect, his physical abilities skyrocketed and he slowly began to gain speed along his descent. He only had one goal with this tactic and that was the Death of Zarra, he would then consume his flesh and with it his abilities.

Draig crashed through the air getting within arms reach of Zarra until he noticed his eyes flick over to stare into his, the next thing Draig knew was a gut wrenching pain in his stomach that made him fight to keep his meal down. It was not over though as he found his arm singed severely by a spell cast from the Dark Mage, Draig growled lowly and activated the Emperors blood and his speed increased drastically actually catching Zarra off guard allowing for a devastating strike to land.

Zarra clutched the side of his stomach where blood began seeping through, he gave Draig a dirty look as he looked at the hand in front of the Vampire's mouth.

”I love liver, what about you Dark Mage” asked Draig smiling cruelly

”You think this over leech brat” stated Zarra before casting a spell opening a rift that allowed Jared and Reaper to come and retrieve him.

Draig looked at the rift that was closing and consumed the liver of the Dark Mage, he knew this battle was only just beginning.

”Everyone rest for the evening we will be marching tomorrow onward until we eliminate the Dark mage” ordered Draig as the crowd around him stared in respect

Everyone had heard about Zarra the Black an unreachable existence that would destroy all before him but this person in front of them, the vampire kid had actually managed a mortal wound on someone like that it was unbelievable to those who had witnessed it.

Draig ignored the praise filled looks and returned to Sylvie and Tina.
