Chapter 14: The Indecisive Battle: Dragon v.s. Vampire Part-2

「 DOMINION ACCELERATION!!!」(Ceres)

In addition to her Ultimate Skill, with the essence of heat, her power of acceleration added on.

Waves of destruction were released towards the Vampire, riding the roar of the Black dragon.

This was, Ceres's ultimate attack.

The undulating waves of this a bility, easily outsped any form of evasion, it demonstrated Ceres's pride as the fastest.

Which meant, evasion was impossible.

For someone who was focused on repelling only for defense, she was in no position to either defend or evade.

If she mistook this to be the same as previous attacks, any number of layers of defense fields would be swallowed whole, and she would die with no time for regrets.

Ceres confirmed the effects of her attack with absolute confidence.

But, she was stupefied as she saw the unharmed Vampire.

"What the! That's not possible!!" (Ceres)

It was an unavoidable, absolute attack, there shouldn't have been anyone who was able to survive such an attack with no injuries at all.

Even if it was Demon Lord Ruminas Valentine.

Unless it was repelled by some sort of ability or attack, it wasn't supposed to be an attack that could be stopped by defense field type abilities, and disappeared as if it's just a nothing.

「 That's impossible! That attack was supposed to pierce through force fields and defensive abilities....You, what did you do!!?? 」(Ceres)

Ceres finally sprout words from her very own mouth with surprised thoughts. 

But the vampire didn't even show any sign of changes on her expression even after she heard a voice from the dragon. 

But after a few moments, her lips parted on their own widely, as she said—

「 Is that all!? There's no need to be wary at all. Then, it's my turn. Do try to swallow in despair, and regret what have you done to Altair 」(Vampire)

Even though the vampire said that, the truth is she didn't even know what exactly happened. The only thing her eyes witnessed, is the suddenly disappearance of what Ceres unleashed just now. But it doesn't concern her, for all she can think about is to kill the dragon who destroyed Altair.

Ceres's mind can't processed what happened before her very own eyes. Her pride wouldn't accept that her best attack is nullified that easily....

「 Even though you are shocked that nothing happened with all of the attacks you threw to me, you do know we are still in the middle of a battle right?」(Vampire)

By the time she recognized and understood what the Vampire said, it was already too late.

Ceres thought that she can completely destroy her current enemy by using her ultimate skill『 Dominion Acceleration 』

Hence, she put every single drop of her Mana on that attack leaving her exhausted due to abbusing too much of her magic power...

And she can do nothing on her current situation but to wait for her mana to regenerate. But bearing in mind the ammount of magic she used with all of her attacks, it'll take some time for her to recover some of her mana. She's completely vulnerable on her current state.

But Ceres is aware about this, thus, she readied herself calmly by using her remaining small ammount of mana, she immediately disseminated a magic barrier.

Even though this barrier isn't that anywhere near at her best, it's defense rate isn't a joke.

No matter what, it's still a barrier made from Ceres herself. She's pretty confident that no attack can penetrate her barrier, that's what she thought.

「 Come! Give me your best shot! Attack me with all you've got kid!!! 」(Ceres)

 Said Ceres, who is absolutely confident on her own barrier.

The Vampire just smiled widely as a response. And then, she started to move—

For her, whoose mind is wrap in bloodlust, there was no need for warnings. All self preservation conditions were deemed unnecessary.

『 Notice. Activate unique skill〈Coalesce〉?YES/NO』

Of course,[Yes]!

『 Confirmed. Unique skill〈 Coalesce 〉succesfully activated, please sellect an skill to use for this process. 』

By the time this confirmation words brought in her head, she can only grin from ear to ear.

The newly acquired skill〈 Coalesce〉, it allows the user to merge their skills to create a new and stronger ability base on the "User's" desire.〈Coalese〉is a rare type of ability where a few monsters possessed. It can be consider as a conundrum, fact that it requires an critical thinking to perform this ability. 

But this Vampire doesn't need to worry for that, when she had YoRHa by her side assisting her appropriately, although she isn't aware about it.

Ceres can do nothing but to calmly wait for the Vampire's attack. She's that confident on her Magic barrier.

Ceres saw the Vampire closed her eyes as she take a breathe deeply.

Ceres is warily observing the Vampire's action,

After a few seconds, she saw the vampire slowly opened her eyes.

Ceres saw this and met the Vampire's eyes leaving her completely alarmed.

The Vampire's eyes which is shining in crimson, it's pretty, yes.

But, Ceres's danger senses wont be fooled, the vampire's calamitous eyes like those very eyes came from the innermost part of the abyss.

 She realized it herself as her body is hardly shuddering for some unknown reason.

There's no doubt about it, a tremendous disaster is about to occur, a disaster called "Death"
