Chapter 251: Manifesting Soul Lantern
Aalone in a snowfield located to the north of Belacia City He was tapping a slass, instead of the sand regularly trickling down, the sand slowly floated up and entered the upper glass bulb
It seemed the sand would soon fill the upper bulb Sebastian aiting for that exact s went as Sila had told hie in the next fewamidst a cold snowstorh The troubleso anything to do Well, he illing to wait this time since it was his master's order
”The tilass was placed in his pocket and replaced by a long pale scythe with a blade that curved beautifully like a crescent htly as he raised it up A tree within his weapon
Sebastian didn't want toeven by a second
”Five Four Three Two”
Killing intent flashed through Sebastian's eyes He exerted all his strength into slashi+ng the scythe doard The attack seelowed in front of Sebastian just as the scythe was reaching the intended destination The body of his prey, who Sebastian had been waiting for, suddenly appeared out of thin air Before the prey could realize as happening, the gri and an ar into the prey's flesh
”ARGHHH!!!” The prey let out a pained cry He iic power reinforce his heart Still, he was du on
”Ah? Unfortunately, you didn't die,” Sebastian ic power reinforce, Sebastian removed his scythe from his body with a second slash
Ballock, the Vampire Earl, received another wound on his chest His blood spilled out and dyed the snowfield below He was greatly confused ”Who the hell are you?! Why am I?”
Sebastian replied with a s, I would like to have a fair match Sadly, you seeic spells, won't stand a chance against you, so I had to rely on a little gimmick”
Since Sebastian had lost all 666 spells of Death Magic, what he had left was only his gigantic pool ofskills which he had been re-learning He would be at a total disadvantage if he had to fight Ballock, a monster of the same rank as him, who seemed to specialize in melee combat Thus, Sebastian decided to rely on one of his special abilities to severely injure Ballock
It was the ability to sense lingering death Normally he could only feel a faint presence However, with Sila explicitly telling him the time and place that Ballock was killed, Sebastian could easily observe the traces left behind to figure out where and when the Va to hit Ballock at the very first h his body was severely injured, Ballock showed no signs of concern once he had calmed down He muttered a chant and his blood on the snowfield transformed into red particles which floated back up and entered his body The wounds on hi Blood Infusion”
”Mending Blood Infusion, I take it? In that case” Sebastian muttered even before Ballock's chant was co his nail into his left paler A few drops of his blood flew into Ballock's pool of blood Soon, the red particles turned black and spread over Ballock's body like a plague
”Arghhh!!” Ballock screalared at Sebastian, his eyes filled with bloodlust On the other hand, Sebastian was looking at hi at a helpless child
”W-Who e-exactly are you?” The Vampire Earl choked on his own black blood
”I' to my master's command Could you please just be obedient and die? It will be easier for both of us that way”
Ballock couldn't bring hih at Sebastian's bad joke How could someone just casually ask the other to die obediently? Still, he was noare that his opponent had knowledge of the weakness of the previous spell he cast, Mending Blood Infusion It was possible that this butler had investigated hiive a short lecture ”Blood Magic is a subset of Death Magic Most of the spells in this type of ic are powerful and versatile, yet possess so an incantation Failure to overcome the restrictions causes the spells to be ineffective or even har Blood Infusion, which transfor ability, but with the condition that the blood has to come from physical wounds on the user's own body Else, the blood will simply turn into poison instead My recommendation is that you should keep a safe distance froh it seeritted his teeth He exerted his ic power to temporarily stop the blood loss froic breaks down into 70 spells I don't believe that you will know the weaknesses of every single one of thes, Ballock couldn't take off and fly in the sky like he usually did He had to resort to fiercely flapping his reic power to help levitate his body He flapped his wing so hard that the blood-stainedBlood”
Sebastian showed a mild smile as he used his scythe to sweep the snow below hi attack At the saic power reinforcey wave to sever Ballock's left ankle and a portion of his re, Sebastian was decent at seizing the right tiic was extre like a puzzle he had to solve each ti an enjoyablethem at any particular place and time Even when he had lost every spell in his possession and ultiic power reinforcement, his sharp senses still re Halberd—his physical ability far surpassed the old hi his balance, Ballock fell and crashed against the snowfield
Sebastian slowly approached his prey His scythe was casually hung on his shoulder
”Bone-Biting Blood changes blood into a lethal acid that can severely burn flesh and equiping to nature”
Ballock used his one re his body away froic power helped to tend to his wounds, but his row back in such a short period of tirim reaper had already stepped closer The distance between the weapon could show its full potential
With no hesitation, the scythe mercilessly descended and struck Ballock His blood sprayed up like a fountain and fell down like rain His body twitched The outcome of the battle see bizarre happened Aorgans ot back up on his feet and inspected his body, feeling confused Even he didn't understand what had happened
”What's going on? Why did I suddenly becoer?” The question left the Vaed in Sebastian's head
'No spell classified as Blood Magic can create this result Is this some trait of the vampire race? No even he is confused'
Ballock wasn't the type to deeply ponder over things that had already happened As his strength returned, he now had a chance to get revenge He shot up into the sky and silently whistled Seeing his action, Sebastian are that Ballock'scalled forth to this place
If it was the Sebastian from before, he would love for there to be more prey for hiic, the increase of creatures siic becoer Only defeat awaited him
'It seeht Sebastian
After confir that there was no one else in this place, hisSoul Lantern”
At the end of the sentence that invoked the De faintly like a firefly flew out frolowed and di with the butler's heartbeat, the rate at which the lantern gave off light gradually increased and becaht projected past Sebastian down to his shadow Standing on his shadoas another Sebastian who had a transparent body, his soul The soul soon enlarged and distorted, before being replaced by a totally different being who spread the iant skull with a crown on his head There was no other body part aside froht hand and an hourglass in his left The light-blue light e from the skull's hollowed eyes briefly stared at Ballock, which suddenly made hiht and everything it had projected disappeared, leaving only Sebastian as standing weakly as if he had lost a significant portion of h Ballock didn't knohat had happened, the only word i that this place was no longer safe for hi at hith fully returned, Ballock poured every ounce of hisHe instantly regrouped with his minions Despite this, he didn't stop and continued to fly further
