Chapter 109: The Truth of the Will of Fate (1/2)
Kyros stood up and gathered the energy in his hands as he slowly walked towards the orc.
Each step he took became slower and slower as pain appeared on his face.
”Kyros!” Diana shouted.
There was no one else there to save them.
Avary, Scarlet, and Grugnyr were as close to death as they ever were. Martha was also frantically expending her Force energy by using explosive force attacks.
But Diana could not take another step. This was her limit. The power and malevolent energy that assailed her mind were too much.
Soon, the form of the woman was complete. She was blood red, but her figure looked so life-like.
”It's not her. Good.” Kyros noted as he took a closer look at the form of the succubus.
The orc laughed as he watched Kyros's pale expressions and took several steps closer.
”Do you see the majesty of my queen?”
”She's not that cute.” Kyros answered as he began to tremble and even wobbled as he gazed defiantly at the orc.
”Such foul mouth. The moment my Queen's avatar opens her eyes, you would die. You can't even move now from the pain, can you?” The orc laughed as he brandished his ax.
”Any last words?”
”Friend at the back... Attack now!”
[Oration activated.]
[Calaminus used Splash!]
The soul tap of Calaminus happened. It took a lot for Calaminus to move behind the vampire. Apart from the pain that Calaminus felt, there was the problem of moving unnoticed. A Vampire Emperor would naturally be able to sense him. But thankfully, his very weak soul wisp form and Kyros's [Taunt] allowed him to accomplish it.
The sudden tap surprised the large orc, who turned around swiftly.
And that was when Kyros dropped his tremendous facade.
Kyros taunted the orc vampire to make it boast and use this attack. But it also gave Kyros time to harness the energy on the Vermillion Earth Sword. The attack he did roughly reached the same amount of attack as Kyros poured a massive amount of Dark Energy on the Vermillion Earth Sword by coating it with the blood in the Bloodied Sword.
In doing so, the base attack of the Bloodied Sword weakened and increased the strength of the Vermillion Earth Sword.
Kyros moved with incredible speed and slashed the arm of the orc that wielded the large ax.
The attack drained Kyros of all the strength he had, but he succeeded. The arm fell down, and the orc squealed in pain, and the blood ritual forming on top of him disappeared.
All the blood that was above the orc came splashing down.
The angered orc swiped at Kyros with his remaining arm. But before his attack reached Kyros...
”[Knights Charge]!”
SMASH!
Diana smashed her shield with a tremendous speed that sent the orc flying back.
Kyros was already busy drinking the blood that was on the floor.
Martha was already next to him. Since he made his attack, he ordered the Coven to get near him. Martha took the arm, drank a mouthful of the blood, and threw it towards the retreating Coven.
The zombies had fallen on the ground and were no longer moving.
Scarlet, Avary, and Grugnyr had terrible appearances. Scarlet was clutching her arm as she ran towards the arm of the orc.
The three feasted on the arm of the orc while Diana and Martha fought the Vampire orcs.
”My patience paid off.” Kyros smiled as he stood up. The potent blood that was used to summon the avatar of the Queen's blood was strong. It was even stronger than the blood in the orc's body!
Kyros was extremely patient all this time. He had even ordered his Coven to bear the pain and try their best to stay alive. Finally, to defeat Destiny, Kyros decided to perform a surprise attack that would cause Destiny to be incapable of acting. With his victory and experience facing Fate, Kyros knew that he had to outsmart Destiny and act when Destiny has already revealed all of its cards.
Kyros, was in fact, aiming for something better. He wanted to kill the stupid orc and absorb all of its blood for him and his Coven. He knew that such potent blood given directly from the Blood Calamity would help his Coven recover. Kyros could see that Destiny was very arrogant and would brag when it got the chance.
And so, Kyros waited. He waited for the battle to reach a critical state until Destiny prodded the orc vampire to show the most powerful spell he could do and expended a lot of the blood it had to summon the avatar of the succubus. And things played perfectly according to his plan.
The truth was, Kyros was not affected by the attacks of this orc vampire.
Ever since the orc vampire appeared and used its powers, Calaminus was confused.
Why?
Why?
Why?
But knowing that he had this ace over the orc vampire, Kyros was very careful in taking advantage of this power.
The power of the succubus was a type of soul attack. It was hard to defend against as long as they were within the range of the orc vampire. But Kyros had been trained and had a Soul resistance of such power that this type of soul attack didn't do anything to him.
[Greater Soul Resistance] was a passive ability that Kyros acquired from the torturous experiences both from his time-traveling journey, the lessons of Calaminus, and the attacks he received from the Temple.
Compared to the Temple's attacks, these soul attacks were but small tickles.
But Kyros knew that if he revealed that, Destiny would learn from it and would find a way to counter it. So he devised this multi-layered plot to ensure that the orc would be wounded and that this blood would be used to create a woman.
Kyros kept drinking the blood that was now on the ground. But this time, he had the strength, and so he used his sword to keep drinking. He could not help but chuckle as he recalled how one of his Coven's claimed that there were standards among vampires.
