Chapter 15: The Indecisive Battle: Dragon vs. Vampire Part-3
『Skill. [ Coalesce ] Activated.
Desired Ability has Forged successfully.』
With this confirmation, a notable traces of delightness can be seen through the Vampire's face.....
Ceres felt a cold sweat run down at her back.
The Vampire seems to noticed Ceres's expression, even so; wearing a deep smile, she deployed a large-scale magic circle....big enough to cover the entire place of battlefield....
It's a part of the Vampire's preparation to cast her newly forged skill that she have yet to reveal...or use for the first time....
In a flash, a wide magic circle shining in blood-colored was painted on the ground...
It's a magic circle alike from what Ceres used earlier... However, the broadness of the Vampire prepared just now is unparalleled...due to the fact that it also occupied where Ceres and the Vampire standing at....
It'll need a lot of mana to create such a magic circle...even Ceres might need a lot of effort and engrossment to match suchlike magic circle...
The moment this occured, Ceres instinctive alarm rang at maximum...
She isn't that ignoramus to overlook this scene, however, she can only watch and wait as she's attempting to accelerate her Mana regeneration....
She can't do anything on her current state, but only to reinforce her Magic barrier...
Now, she deeply regrets for provoking this monster standing before her.....
The "Doll" earlier which obviously the grounds of her enrage, came into her mind to return it to it's owner....
But, considering Ceres's pride, it's nearly impossible for her admit her own mistakes even if her action turns to be a disaster..
On the other hand, even if she acknowledge it now, she's already too late for repentance....she can only face the consequences of what she had done..
The battle was erupted, YoRHa begun the analysis. She had taken the optimum course of action, it is all for her dearest owner...
YoRHa was created to be of used to her owner, that's all the reason of YoRHa's existence...
『 Analysis finalized. Magic Acceleration Casted. Magic Circle Deployed. Proceed YES/NO?!』
[YES! Start it already!!!]
The Vampire answered without hesitation, no matter what it means, there's only one thing currently on her mind, "REVENGE"
With this response, the wide magic circle begun to shine brightly...
The whole place got dyed in crimson light due to the wavelength of the Magic circle reflecting from it...
Thereafter, over a millions or so droplets of water tinted on pure red, arised from the magic circle.....
The so called droplets began to float around Ceres and the Vampire like a particles...
Ceres got flustered due to sudden appearance of this droplets, but she calmed herself with "It's fine, I have my Reinforced Magic barrier protecting me" on her mind as she added a two layers on her Magic barrier, with the total of three layers....."Survival of the fittest"
In the end, Ceres's pride prevails over the fear...
Meanwhile, the Vampire's side—
『Notice. Mana Calculated: Suffice to sustain for this skill.
Chance of Success: ERROR 』
『Preparations Complete.
Commence Attack, YES/NO?』
A slight of alleviation break in her body with this confirmation brought to her head.
For her, all source of danger doesn't exist before her current ambience.
She can't view her enemy as a Deadly Dragon, but as a 'Target' for extermination.
Currently, only the Dragon's death mattered.
With the crimson of droplets floating around them—
Now, it was time to deploy the main course,
A massive-killing magic, the perfect weapon the deal someone who is far larger and stronger than anyone. It was called—
「 Die!!! May the anger of divinity singe through your very soul!....TEMPEST OF BLOOD!!!!!! 」(Vampire)
The Crimson droplets of water transfigured and solidified harder than metal and turned to thin resembles like an Ice pick, but their sizes only slightly exceeds an average quantity of a needles...
This droplets of water were my very own blood, which I transformed for my own needs.
Right after the the conversion of the Million droplets of my Blood,
Optimizing my calculations, I automatically adjusted it's course for my target.
With my decree,
Simultaneously, dancing in the air, countless of spear shapes of particles charged through the direction of the Dragon with the speed of sound...
Surely, the Dragon got protected by a Magic barrier.
However, in front of my new skill, it doesn't mean anything..
In this world, the principle of Magic barrier is emphasized in the defense against magic power.
So it means that they haven't any resistance against things that abide law of physics.
That is the the result of YoRHa's analysis of barrier, so that fact has been confirmed.
The source of my skill 『 Tempest of Blood 』is from my blood, without the help of any magicules.
It is my pure blood.....which means, Magic Barrier is useless owing that it is created from a pure form of physical energy.
For now aside form YoRHa, my "Blood" is my trump card....
'Now, how can you handle those attack of mine which inflicted of [ Magic Acceleration ]'
****
(Third-Person POV)
With the assault of the Vampire, a millions of thin matters, namely sharper than anything.....concurrently thrown on a single direction, none other else but from Ceres's direction...
Those Thin matters isn't just solidified normally just to thrown like a pebbles on enemies...
The Vampire entrusted all calculation on her support; YoRHa....
After the Vampire got caught up into the Black flame earlier which is Ceres's attack, YoRHa took the opportunity to analize this attack....
The degree of those flames; the source, the weaknesses, etc.
YoRHa didn't waste a time, and dig into the inner infos about those Black Flames....
And YoRHa didn't dissapointed her Master, as a result, the Vampire now can perform and generate heat equally to those Ceres used....
With this knowledge passed down on the Vampire's head, she used plenty of her Mana to produced thousands degree of heat, and fused it with those blood droplets of her's....
She suspected that her pure blood isn't enough to penetrate those barrier of that Dragon, therefore she decided to invent a way to turn her blood into a thin, but durable matter, and to inflict it with thousand degrees of heat to penetrate the barrier....
Meanwhile on Ceres side, she watched those thin matters draw near at her direction with a fearless face.....
She didn't considered those countless thin matters to kill her, they all looks weak for a monstrous dragon like Ceres....to put it easily, she's underestimating the Vampire's ability....
"It needs more than that to kill me!" said Ceres in a calm way....
But—
Due to her imprudence,
Ceres didn't considered a chance, that those narrow matters which she considered useless before her—
Will be the reason of her own despair.....
