Chapter 28: The woman who kills Oni. (1/2)

When Mizuki saw the monster's appearance in front of her, all her instincts screamed danger; she was on full alert. Seeing the monster's appearance, she remembered the information she'd received from the church's pope.

”Remember, Mizuki. Romanian vampires are on a completely different level than what you destroyed in Japan, especially the 'count' class vampires.”

”These vampires are like humanoid weapons of mass destruction, and, if that wasn't enough, they have a kind of 'transformation' that taps into the true nature of these vampires' powers. If you meet a vampire like this on your quest, you must step back immediately, after all, you have not yet received the baptisms to become my general.”

'Back? I'm sorry, but I won't carry out this order', Mizuki thought with a small disdainful smile.

”On guard! Use level 3 enchantments! Gentlemen, a count class vampire is in front of you, prepare to die if necessary.” She yelled as she pulled a fan from her pocket.

”Yes, Mam!”

She opens her fan and speaks in a neutral voice: ”Susanoo, Japanese god of the sea and storms, bless my allies with the protection of the seas!”

Suddenly water began to appear at the feet of Mizuki's allies, and slowly this water began to wrap the hunters in a protective layer. And, soon, this water turned into the armor of the ancient Japanese soldiers who fought in the Sengoku period.

”God, bless my fists so I can get my revenge,” Carlos spoke while being covered by Mizuki's armor, his fists started to be covered by golden energy.

Soon all the hunters began to cast spells similar to what Carlos did.

The creature looks at Mizuki with a smile on his face that showed all his sharp teeth, the hunters felt their bodies shiver when they saw the creature's smile, but, before the hunters could do anything, the creature lost interest in them and turns towards Ruby.

”Violet?” Ruby spoke confused, but when she looked at the creature's face, she spoke in shock, ”D-Darling? What happened to you? And how did you get this power!?”

Ruby tried to get up but she couldn't, she looked at her wound with an annoyed look; 'this is taking too long to heal, what is happening? I should have resistance to the energy used by the church.'

Ruby looks at Victor's face with a stoic expression, she had several thoughts running through her head right now; 'Why is he here? Why does he have access to this form? I'm glad he's here, but I'm worried about him, he's not strong enough to fight a slayer like Mizuki, we must get away! But I'm glad he's here... I don't want him to die…'

When Victor put his eyes on Ruby's wound, he felt his heart clenching in pain. He wanted to roar in rage, he was almost losing control of his own body. But, as a last show of stubbornness, he managed to stay in a state where he understood everything as if it were a dream.

He was awake and at the same time he was sleeping, but there was only one thing he was sure of, only one thing he wanted to do now;

'I will kill them!'

Suddenly all of the hunters felt as if the world had lost all color for a few seconds, everyone could feel the killing intent so strongly that they forgot to breathe for a few seconds.

Victor turns and looks at the hunters. When the hunters looked at Victor, they felt their bodies suddenly grow heavy... Fear, the purest feeling of human beings, that's what they were feeling now.

They couldn't breathe, they couldn't move, it was like their bodies didn't want to obey and they just froze.

”W-What is it?” A slightly younger hunter asked while shivering. Despite having been hunting vampires for a few years, he's never come across a vampire like this.

”C-C-Calm down” A hunter spoke while stammering a lot.

Victor's eyes started to look around, he seemed to be going crazy every moment, he looked at all the hunters as he opened and closed his fists several times.

Mizuki looks at him neutrally and thinks; he is weaker than I imagined, so she puts the fan in front of her and spoke in a low voice:

”Tsukuyomi, give me the peace of the night, the peace of the night in the moonlight.”

White energy focused on Mizuki's fan, and then she waves the fan, and this energy travels towards all of her subordinates.

And, as if it were magic, everyone started to get calmer; everyone felt inner peace, and they didn't feel fear anymore... But, the enchantment didn't last long because Victor suddenly made a move and appeared in front of a hunter.

He opens his mouth full of sharp teeth and bites the hunter's neck, ”Ahhhhhh~! Save me! Save-me-” The hunter couldn't scream anymore because soon he had turned into a dry mummy, it was like he lost all the blood in his body.

Victor stops biting the hunter, and when he lets go of his head, the hunter's entire body disappears into ash; even the hunter's blood that splashed on him disappeared without a trace.

This demonstration made the hunters fearful. The only ones not affected were the more experienced hunters, all thanks to Mizuki's enchantment, and because they had seen something similar in the past.

”He destroyed my armor so easily…” Mizuki couldn't help but comment in disbelief.

'Was I wrong in my judgment…?' She thought confused.

Then she ordered: ”This monster's body is very hot, if you don't have high-level protection techniques, don't come close! Or you will turn to ashes!”

”Carlos!”

”Yes, Mam”

Carlos runs towards Victor and punches him in the face, Victor looks at the fist in his face, and soon he smiles like he's not impressed.

”Monster, don't laugh at me!” Carlos attacks him again, but it wasn't working, he couldn't hurt Victor's body.

Victor grabs Carlos' bald head.

Carlos feels his flesh burn as Victor holds his head.

Victor runs towards another hunter and holds them by the head, the friend who was next to this hunter tried to cut off Victor's hands, but the golden sword only scratched Victor's skin.

Victor looks at the two heads he was holding as if they were watermelons, he flashes a big, distorted smile.

Carlos realizing what Victor intends to do quickly uses a defensive spell. Victor hits the heads of the two men together!

CRACK!

Sounds of broken bones were heard by all the hunters nearby.

Carlos managed to survive the attack, but the hunter who was his subordinate had his brain blown out.

Victor grabs Carlos by the neck and throws him at the other hunters with all his strength.

”Ugh! Catch me!” Carlos screamed when he realized he couldn't organize his center of gravity, he started to speak an incantation, and soon his body was glowing golden.

Carlos' subordinates nod their heads and catch Carlos's body.

Before Carlos can do anything, he sees a giant ball of fire flying towards them.

”The fuck...”

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

”AHHHHHHHHHH!”

Seeing those fireworks, and hearing the screams of the hunters, Victor's sadistic smile grew in satisfaction.

”We must flee…”A hunter spoke in fear, he swallowed his saliva and yelled, ”We cannot fight this monster!”

”Are you going to run away from these demons!? We must kill them!” A more fanatical hunter spoke.

”Fuck it, I'm not going to die over bullshit like that!” When this hunter was about to flee, he hears Mizuki's voice:
