Chapter 84: Tatsuya Vs Einer. (2/2)
”...” Victor's group was surprised again.
”This is a tough fight for me.” Eleonor was honest, she was primarily a fighter who used strength to overcome everything.
”Indeed. This man is like an eel, he is very slippery, and that power is irritating to fight back against.” Elizabeth spoke.
”How do you fight someone who can confuse all your senses? He has the advantage.” Lacus spoke.
”You are thinking wrong.” Victor and Scathach's voices were heard at the same time.
”…” The group was silent again.
For the first time, Victor stops watching the fight and looks at Scathach, then he exhibits a small smile, ”Do you explain, or do I explain?”
She smiled, ”...You explain.” She wanted to know Victor's thoughts.
Victor gets up with Ophis in his arms and says something in Ophis' ear:
”Mm…” The girl nodded in agreement.
He decided to demonstrate, after all, is better than explaining:
”Watch.” He places his hand in front of Ophis and descends slowly.
The group started to watch the movement of Victor's hands, Victor's hands began to glow with the power of lightning, and it caught the girls' attention even more; he looked like he was going to do something big!
Suddenly he said, ”Now, where is Ophis?”
”...Huh!?” The women looked up and saw that Ophis had disappeared.
”She disappeared!?” Elizabeth screamed and got up from her chair, she couldn't lose her sister again!
Ruby, Sasha, and Violet look around, and soon they see Ophis sitting on Victor's ice throne, but since the throne was so big, it looked like she had disappeared.
”She's on the throne….” The three spoke.
Elizabeth walks close to the throne and sighs with relief when she sees Ophis sitting in a Cute fashion.
”What I just did is simple, I focused your attention on my hands, and you didn't see Ophis come down from my arms, a simple attention-shifting trick.”
”That's basically what he's doing to deceive Einer. Of course, he's not using this simple magic trick. He must be using his power to make it work on a large scale.”
”Hahahaha~. Good, you get it, but you missed something, idiot disciple.”
”Oh?” Victor and the group looked at Scathach.
”That man, he is not trying to deceive the boy of Clan Horseman; he is deceiving his very existence.” She exhibited a teacher's smile, ”By becoming a difficult creature to be observed, the brain cannot understand what it is observing, so it looks like he is using a form of illusion.”
”He said it, right? You can't fight what you don't understand; that's basically a tip he left.”
”I see...” Victor's smile grew a little.
”Father...” Ophis raised her hand up in a gesture that told Victor to hold her.
”... What a spoiled girl~.” Victor smiled kindly and picked up Ophis again, then sat on the ice throne he created.
”Better...”
”…” Elizabeth didn't know what to say or think seeing her sister like this.
Crack!
Violet's grip was so strong that she broke the ice throne she was sitting on a little. In an attempt to ignore what she was seeing, she said:
”He is hiding his very existence, and by doing so, he manages to fool his opponent...?” Her brain was spinning to try to understand what she just heard.
”That doesn't make any sense,” Ruby said.
”His power is quite unusual in our community. I think he must be a foreign vampire.” Siena commented, as an older vampire, she could understand the battle and the power of man, but even for her, his power was something interesting and curious...
”The power of the vampires out there shouldn't be that strong.” Elizabeth continued.
”His power is not strong.” Eleonor explained, ”It's the way he uses his power that makes it look like his power is strong.”
Suddenly everyone could feel a dark pressure; they quickly look into the arena and see Einer's body covered in a distorted black aura:
”Annoying... Annoying, your power is irritating, your existence is irritating.” He had a distorted expression on his face and seemed very upset.
”I don't need to understand you to defeat you!” A pillar of black energy came out of Einer's body. Slowly, Einer's skin began to change to a dark black, he started to grow in height, his ears grew, and black wings made of pure power grew up behind him.
His hair lifted as if defying gravity, his eyes took on a deeper shade of red, his teeth sharpened.
”That's...” Victor's smile grew distorted, and everyone could see the big smile Victor had on his face.
”The Vampire Count Form.”
