Chapter 200: Awaken

[Endroga Kingdom]

Inside the castle walls, along the narrow corridor both Ingrid and Zia are getting pushed back, by both Quintian and Hexo who coordinates their attack that leave them no openings to cut inside

Due to this both of them were left with their backs against the wall (literally)

"Black hound!"

With that spell that chases them anywhere, Ingrid decided to confront it instead of wasting more time in dealing with the enemy

With a step she shifted her position infront of Zia as she lowered her stance and grabbed the hilt of her sword

With a click Ingrid enveloped the blade of her sword with Mana as she brought her attack in to confront the spell

"Sword wave!"

With a huge uppercut slash both attack managed to cancel each other out causing gust of wind to be pushed out against both sides

Not leaving any chances for them to take Ingrid once more taken her stance as she coupled more enhancement spells on her on top of enhancement spells, after all this type of magic is the only thing she could do

"Enhance speed!"

"Reduce weight!"

"Activate wind boots!"

"Air steps!"

"Reaction time boost!"

"Wind proof barrier!"

"Sound proof barrier!"

"Assist mental thinking capacity!"

"Assist mental strain!"

"Enhance armament!"

"Sharp weaponry!"

"Damage multiplier!"

"Potential outbreak!"

Due to this her aura suddenly sharpened to a degree that could imitate a certain people that often regarded as legends due to it's strength and speed

With a thud Ingrid disappeared from her spot that surprised both the bloodhound vampires that didn't expect that

The next thing they know was that Ingrid was already inside their range and defenses the moment they blinked their eyes,but at that time it was already too late for them to dodge the attack

"What the!!!!"

"Crap!"

With crashing explosion Quintian managed to dodge the attack for a slight moment but she was unable to atleast aid Hexo who was blown away by just one attack

While still in midair Quintian adjusted her position upside down and prepared to swing her blood sycthe, but the moment she did that she once again lost sight of Ingrid as the latter suddenly appeared behind her once more

"Impossible! How did she..."

Before she could finish her reaction Ingrid already brought down her attack that propelled her to crash against the walls and rooms of the castle

Seeing this Zia once again was left astounded by that scene, she didn't expect Ingrid at all to pull off such a stunt that managed to overpower both supreme vampire with pure brute Force and not much magic

Not far from her Hexo blasted out from the ground as he took this chance to attack her while Ingrid was still in midair

Surprisingly when he outstretched his claws at her, Ingrid suddenly twisted her body in midair as she managed to dodge Hexo's attack by a millimeter while countering with a huge cut across his chest

"Gaaaahhh!.... Ugh!"

As he screamed from the pain, Ingrid immediately choked him as she pushes herself out of the ground the moment she landed to make a huge jump and slam Hexo against the piles of rubble

At that moment a silhoutte passes Zia as Quintian quickly activated more of her magic

"Complete blooded weaponry! Blood outburst!"

With her first spell she managed to conjure more blood swords using her own blood, and with her second spell she managed to injure Ingrid through the gaps of small injury in her body causing her to bleed profusely and non-stop

As Ingrid cough out blood she immediately deducted that the Supreme Vampire is expecting for her to blow up, so with quick thinking she added more enhancement on her body

"Body strengthening!"

"Iron body!"

"High speed regeneration!"

"Assist body condition!"

"Counter magic barrier!"

As she did that she quickly pulled out her sword and confronted Quintian while using Hexo's body as a meat shield that never dies no matter how many times you cut it

With quick thinking she threw Hexo at an opening that caught Quintian off guard and forced her to be dragged down by his body

At that moment where both of them were down Ingrid jumped down from above and thrusted her sword through Hexo's body which reach Quintian who was pinned down from behind

"Gaah!"

"Damn it!"

As Quintian grew angry at Hexo for being a burden, she immediately didn't let up Ingrid go without countering at all or else it would hurt her pride

So the moment Ingrid was fully focused on stabbing them down, Quintian actually snucked some of her attacks from behind as blood spikes pierced through Ingrid's armor and through her stomach, arms, legs, and chest

"Ingrid-sama!" Reacted Zia as she ran up to her surprised by the outcome

As for Ingrid she spewed out a mouthful of blood as her eyes quivered as she look down eye to eye with the cunning and smirking vampire

"Guh! Hurts doesn't it? I know that you wouldn't let us live, so in that case why don't you join us to the other side?" Offered Quintian

"You... . ." Bellowed Ingrid

But before she could say anymore words, she suddenly lost her consciousness as she lost too much blood, of not treated immediately she could die from major Injuries and too much blood loss

With a thud Ingrid fell off to the ground near the two vampires who was still taken aback by being suppressed by one inhumane human swordswoman princess

*******

Just outside by the crosshair of the battlefield, Melfina can be seen rising up her tempo as she was certain that she need to kill the perpetrator first

As she gripped her dagger she immediately maneuvered to attack Sirius forcefully by using hand to hand combat that she learned from the elven race

Surprisingly she made one of the vassals to move as he either block or dodge her attacks

At a moment Sirius managed to find something interesting from her weapon

"Your quite crafty! To think that you would coat your weapon with a lethal poison that could even paralyze vampires to a degree"

"So you noticed? Then your not your everyday vampire I see" deducted Melfina

"And what are you going to do about it after finding out that I'm not your typical vampire?" Asked Sirius

Without any shred of emotion on her face, Melfina replied

"Simple! I just need to kill you before you become an even more threat!"

Hearing that Sirius couldn't help but laugh

"You? Kill me? Hahahahaha... I'd like to see you try!" He mocked her

Without hesitation she launched herself towards him as she brought down her own furry of attacks

First she quickly and swiftly attack him with left and right hand shift assault combo before slapping his defense away and pushed him in the guts, after that she did a low kick which Sirius easily dodged by jumping up and quickly followed up by a midair kick that propelled him away

She did all this movements as she shifted the position of her last remaining dagger to either his two hands to make sure that he would always be able to aim his weapon at him and this can only be done by an expertise in combat

What Melfina just did was an example of dagger hand to hand combat that often used by experienced people who specializes in dagger weaponry

As she pushed him away, she quickly run up to him and raises her feet up to bring down an axe chop to the head

But due to being vampire Sirius immediately took her balance away as she caught her on his arms and quickly chomped down on her neck with his fangs extended, he intended to kill Melfina by drying her blood completely

Unfortunately Melfina wasn't a simple female elf at all as she reacted quickly and putted a dagger in between Sirius fangs and her neck by a few inches, right at that to contend with a vampires strength she applied shadow magic on her arms to equalize their utilization that would compare to a strengthened human

Without a thought she slashed his lips away that causes Sirius to turn to a swarm of bats to quickly back away from her range

When he reformed his body he held out his jaw as it actually loosened and paralyzed because of her cut, but nonetheless he still regenerated

As he did that he glared at the elf who managed to injure him and thought to herself

(this elf, is quite a threat... . . This is going to be troublesome)

********

Meanwhile down below as Sui begged for Kaido to wake up, the world tree itself responded to her call as it loosen it grip on its body causing Kaido's body to leaned a little bit forward and be able to move his body to some extent

Unfortunately he is still in a coma so with that loosening a bit was quite useless

At this moment the huge explosion rung out behind the door time and time again as if a beast was rampaging and was trying to get in

Even though the door was thick and sturdy, it didn't mean that it was impenetrable, so within a couple more of explosions cracks could be seen forming across the door

After the 28th attack the door finally broke apart as it crumbled down, allowing the pursuer to enter the room and successfully backed sui into a corner with a tree and a comatose person behind her

Looking back at her unconcious father like figurehead, she was determined to instead of being a burden to him any longer, she straightened up and decided for her to protect him this time

"Papa did enough to protect me until this far, no matter who he is or what he did, it wasn't his fault, I need to help him ease his burden a little so this time I'll protect him" she muttered as a tear can be seen at the corner of her eyes

Naturally by instincts Sui was afraid but for her father, she would brave herself up even if she needs to step up infront of a terrifying enemy

With a thought and few casting of spell, she managed to conjure more Elderwood Guardian to surround and protect them

Unfortunately Quartir had enough of these puppets and was at her wits end as she spends most of her Mana just to bring one thick huge door down

So in turn she was so haggard that she was already quite fuming in rage

This become even more apparent when she saw the Sui summoning more Elderwood Guardian out of nowhere

And the only thing that could replenish her Mana was by drinking someone's blood

As she though of that, she suddenly caught a glimpse of another person in ragged clothes behind the gaps of the Elderwood Guardian

"A human! And an unconcious one at that! Lucky me!"

Seeing a laid out human with no defences whatsoever is like seeing an harmless food infront of her

As she gazed at Kaido's neck and saw his pulpasating bloodstream, her mouth begun to water for.a bit as she was really hungry at the moment

But the kid was in the way so without any thought she prioritized to beat the kid first

********

Inside of a dark consciousness Kaido could see himself crouching down and sitting at the middle of the darkness with no light whatsoever nor good to eat

He was like an animal caged into a dark place with no escape

He felt suffocated because of this and yet he couldn't do anything

(What am I? I need to get out! I don't belong here! I'm so tired!)

As he though of this his dead eyes begun to wonder into the darkness as he slowly but surely was loosing something important to him

(Ayame? Wasn't that the girl I promised to return to? I really miss her... . . But she left me right? Betrayed me... Right? Wait! Why is my mind so foggy? Why is my memory so different? Who messes with my memory?)

At that he suddenly squinted his eyes as he wondered

(... Do I have a different memory and reality implanted in my brain? Who falsify my memory?... . . Wait! Wait!... . . Who am I? I... . . I can't remember my name)

As he thought of this words inside his head he suddenly heard a playful song that is being sung by a child completely oblivious of the hardship of the world

Naturally Kaido knew this song so he tried to sing along it

(Girl child singing:

London bridge is falling down

falling down

falling down

London bridge is falling down

...)

*******

Back to the reality Quartir has thoroughly beaten Sui up, as she glared at the child that was crawling across the floor struggling

Without remorse she realized that the person was important to the child, so she harshly pulled Sui's hair, that made the latter cry in pain and dragged her near the unconcious Kaido

"So this guy is important to you right? Then it might be satisfying to see me kill him right? Since you've been a burden to kill till now, I'll let you see something mortifying"

Hearing that Sui tried to stop her by telling and begging her to spare her Papa and leave the harmless guy alone

But in return Quartir only smirked as she stretches out her jaw and her fangs being sharpened by hunger

Seeing this Sui begun to panic as she tries to pull the vampires attention away from her Papa

"No! Don't! Don't touch Papa!"

Without giving any attention to her plea Quartir lounged her fangs right at Kaido, when suddenly something unexpected happened

Kaido's body suddenly reacted as it choked the neck of the supreme vampire while lifting it up with one arm

Seeing this Sui immediately brightened up as she thought that Kaido was back, but unfortunately this was all shot down as she realized Kaido's once life filled eyes suddenly turned dark and dead whole gazing at the vampire and laughing maniacally

"He... Hehe... Ahahahahahaha!!!"

As his laugh grew louder, Quartir instinctually let Sui go

When she was let go, Sui for some reason was seen stumbling to the side as her gaze was filled with regret and surprise from seeing Kaido's current condition

Then suddenly Kaido muttered under his breath as he whispered this at the female vampires ear

"My fair lady!"

At the next moment a huge radioactive explosion rung out from the depths of the ground and blasted open at the side of the world tree that shook the whole forest both allies and enemies into a standstill
