Chapter 750 - Scarlet & Pitch-black Colors (2/2)
Duran knitted his brows, staring at Celestina hesitantly.
“You are…”
“Cut the crap, lowly species. I don’t have the time to chat with you. Go to hell!”
Celestina clearly wasn’t in the mood for chitchat. She interrupted his words cleanly as though proving that she was truly rushing for time. She brandished her chain sword and the chain sword as though a viper, revealed its fangs and pounced on Duran.
“Hmph!”
Duran sulked. No matter what, he was the proud patriarch of his family. Celestina a high-class demon, but her strength was also around the same level as his. Since she attacked without talking things out, he didn’t need to hold back anymore! Duran’s eyes glinted. He extended his right arm and clenched his fist—the blood on the walls rushed forth and formed a shield around him which defended against Celestina’s attack. Shortly after, sparks flashed as her black chain sword clawed the shield.
After transcending into the Legendary Stage, one’s rule power would materialize. Duran’s rule power was the ‘blood’, which was one of the most common talent Vampires had. But it was apparent that he wasn’t one who would take a beating without retaliating. After negating Celestina’s attack, he let out a grim laughter and swung his right hand in the air—the blood shield erupted instantly and bit into her chain sword like a blood monster. Celestina didn’t expect this move at all. Before she reacted, the blood had flown along the chain and rushed toward her.
“Lowly one, how dare you!”
Celestina knitted her brows and snarled. She treated her enemy as a lowly race and it was only right that he abided by her orders.
It is only right that you crawl to my feet for me to hit you and lay your head before me for me to kill you. How ridiculous that this lowly Vampire not only defied my orders, but also retaliated!
Celestina’s trains of thought weren’t logical to begin with…
She flew into a rage. Her chain sword was bit into tightly by Duran’s blood monster, but it didn’t leave her panicky. Instead, she glared fiercely at Duran and a faint radiance glinted in her scarlet eyes.
———!
Suddenly, black flames burned on her body and flowed along her chain sword which swarmed the blood monster. The black, mysterious flames didn’t extinguish. Instead, the blood monster howled in grief after being tainted by it. In the blink of an eye, it collapsed and fell apart and this left Duran baffled!
As an experienced and knowledgeable Vampire, he had read about legends and documentary records about the black flames—the negative flame!
It was rumored that this black magic flame came from the core of the burning hell—pure and dangerous. Unlike ordinary flame, this black magic flame was full of negative energy which would devour every magical flow related to the rule powers. It could also be said that this was the nightmare of every legendary being because after entering the Legendary Stage, one of the privileges that they held was the ability to attack using their rule power, where they would simulate magical flow in order to manipulate the rule power.
To the contrary, the negative flame was entirely different, where it could forcefully change the magical flow and return it to zero. For example, if a legendary being who cast its rule power was like how one drew a picture on a white paper, the negative flame could turn the picture to nothing and return it to the state of the clean, white paper before burning it in flames.
Why did she have such powers?!
Duran had no doubts that it was the negative flame. But why was it here? The documentary records clearly stated that the negative flames were completely sealed after the Creation War. How did this woman possess such powers?!
Unfortunately, he wasn’t granted the time to search for an answer because Celestina brandished the chain sword that was burning in black flames at him. Duran gritted his teeth and braced himself. He had no way of retreat now.
In the blink of an eye, scarlet and pitch-black colors collided, erupting in dazzling sparks.
