Prologue

It all began with a glint of light.

*Clang*

Then a sound of steel against steel followed by a resounding scream.

Blood spurred from a silhoutte who writhed and fell and in mere seconds more followed him.

All this was the work of a tall man,clad in a dark leathery cloak that went from his shoulders to his calves. It was black on outside,red on the inside. He wore normal clothes below the cloak,a white T-shirt that now looked more crimson than white and a black trouser.

He had a splendid appearance, his pale white face went beyond the normal realms of beauty itself, his figure moved with such fluidity and speed so much that he was only a blur to the spectactor.

"Tsk"

His expressions were those of great impatience as he hurriedly dispatched his supposed enemies.

Facing off against this monstrosity of a man were men clad in shimmering full-silver armour adorned with a crucifix coloured in blue just at the center of the upper plate of armour.

Swords and axes in hand they charged,the hundreds of them. It was in itself an unbelieveable sight yet, still they died,their numbers dwindled in mere seconds all because of one man but the seemingly fanatic and battle crazed knight-like men raged forth like berserkers.

"Sir Lanister.", A voice reverberated behind the ongoin battle .Two men stood besides each other gazing at the battlefield with frowns on their faces .They held onto their helmets at their sides.

"If you leave it like this there wont be anything left of the Pope's Holy knights .",He continued ,now looking at the said "Sir Lanister".

"I understand Vice-commmander Allen",Sir lanister uttered.

He dorned his helm and drew his sword from his scabbard, he brandished the silver long-sword and the moonlight illuminated it showing all its glory. It had a sturdy looking frame with its hilt designed like a cross yet, looking at it one would realized this was no mere weapon.

"I guess it cant be helped,Signal the retreat Vice-commmander ."

A shrill sounding horn was blown and the soldier's began a strategic retreat.

As they fell back,A man clad in the same clothing as they walked forth,He exuded a presence of might and pride .He glowed in the night like a lantern dragging his long-sword on the ground. It left a small path as he walked on.

The cloaked man stood there as he watched his enemy's retreat.

He held on to his black fang-shaped dagger's.

'Damn it'

He cursed in his mind .He wondered how he could escape here however he soon stopped as he sensed the presence that was moving towards him.

"I must say,you must be the most unluckiest creature i have ever laid my eyes on...I mean... even your people hate you enough to rat you out to the enemy..kukukuh...a pity,Igor Tepest for this shall be where you lay."

'So that it....shit! Those damn bastards did this.'

Igor Tepest had wondered how he been found all this while,he just dismissed it as mere coincidence but now it seems it was the work of his siblings.

"And you think a mere human like you can defeat me?...dont make me laugh human".

Igor flashed his teeth brandishing his canines ,the symbol of his vampiric bloodline .Gripping tightly his daggers he sped forth.

Following Igor's charge,Sir Darius lanister charged in as well sword held with both hands. Whilst Igor moved like a ninja ,Darius lanister moved like a Knight.

Steel clashed against steel once,a small shockwave erupted and dust flew into the air just a bit. Igor moved back once then back again to attack with a second attacked.

His dagger's blurred as they moved swiftly in a flurry .Darius sword moved just as fast as well blocking the attacks like they almost in slow motion.

Although it looks so,Darius Lanister felt the intensity of this battle increase on him.

'How can he still be this strong,?,,,damn!,so this it,the power of a progenitor Vampire .But with only this...kukukuh'

Igor's dagger breached the defense poised by the sword after Darius Lanister moved to block the other dagger.

*Screeeech*

The dagger brushed by his suit of armor roughly scratching the Crucifix looking cross. The armour proved to be the stronger as the dagger couldn't penetrate it.

'Cheh'

Igor jumped back increasing the distance.

Then Darius Lanister spoke.

"Im sure you have realized now that you cant defeat me",truth to be told Igor had not felt as such but he let this unkown stranger ramble.

"Not in the way you are now...yes....i know....you dont have all your power right now...am i wrong?"

Igor's eyes widened slightly,he cursed.

'Those bastards'

...

Igor suddenly thought of Alexis his son. When he was born,as a hybrid that came from two different species his power was unstable because his mother's lycanthrope side was more dominant in him so to stabilize the energies and leave then in a state of equity,he poured some of his power into him that matched his lycanthropic power level.

Igor had yet to fully recover from then...

...

As Igor was lost in thought Darius lanister had his sword in the sky,looking up to the heavens he uttered slowly.

"Your servant calls upon you Goddess Theia,grant me your blessing"

His sword shone in a bright light as a light energy enclosed the the whole sword.

With a sword of light in his hands Darius lanister began using his abilities to their fullest.

Igor who was also preparing for the coming enemy parted his legs slightly as he got into a fighting stance.He seems to have realized this was going to be the last bout that would reveal the victor.

"Alexis....Eli...I'm coming"

The ground below shook slightly then blood befan to flow,it came from the victims he had killed,flood converged in a 30 meter radius around him.

"BLOOD DOMAIN"

Darius Lanister however neither stopped he moved amidst the blood below his feet like it was water. As he walked on the blood solidified and jutted from the ground like spikes trying to impale the supposed enemy.

Darius disappeared like a flash he had disappeared and appeared on Igor's side leaving a slash there drawing blood as he disappeared again. Igor's vision moved to his bleeding side,shocked.

He was still in the process of checking his wound when he felt another then another.A single wound turned into two then three then more and more piled up.

Due to the holy element on Darius lanister's sword his regeneration slowed greatly,every wound inflicted was deadly as his power itself was too low.

Igor's Blood Domain had started to dwindle without even showing its full potential.

"Kuhh...Kuh!!"

Igor coughed out a thick viscous red liquid from his lips as he went down on one knee.

The strength in his body was leaving him but his eyes,his eyes were fiery and blood red.

"I wont let youuu!!",he screamed.

He had to protect his wife and child,that as a father and husband was his duty.

All the while Darius lanister kept on flashing simultaneously in every direction leaving trails of blood on the now dying vampire.

"!!?".

Suddenly ,Darius Lanister stopped and moved a distance.

He hand felt it,an energy that had began to exude from Igor.

"Heheheheheheh!....kuk..kuh",Igor laughed as he spilled more blood from the cuts underneath his clothes.

The pale moonlight illuminated his scarred visage,he came out like the painting of crazed maniac in the middle of haunted forest.

As if setting a scary atmosphere a gust of wind ravaged the area leaving the trees dancing like mannequin's puppets on carnival stage.

What came next happened in a flash, the sky darkened and rain fell from the sky.

"What is this?"

Darius and his knights thought in their heads as stains of blood started to appear on their plates of armour.

"B-blood!?",one of the soldiers jumped back as he saw the colour on his armour.

However, before he even realised the meaning of this sudden phenomenon the plate of armour started to melt,slowly a silvery-red colour dripped from the soldier's left arm pad before touching his skin.

Almost simultaneously the throngs of soldiers who were within the crimson red rain's sphere of influence suddenly shrieked in pain.

"Ahhhhh...aeuhhhh!!."

The once glorious silver armour corroded swiftly along with the skin below,a putrid smell rose from the mixture giving of a sense of boiling sulphur.

The screams of the soldiers were harsh and quick to die down as all that was left within the ability activated by Igor was a large puddle of sparkly blood on the ground.

Darius Lanister, somehow managing to escape due to his flash-step like move was clutching onto his right shoulder which still got caught by the acid like rain.He stood there his eyes wide. He looked nothing less than a statue left after the destruction of some waterlogged city.

"They..are too powerful "

This repeated itself in his mind as he gazed upon the devastation laid before him.

Igor's visage was still there however now he was on both knees looking above the sky tears streaming down his face.

To Darius ,Igor had too many personalities, at first he was mighty,then crazed and now sadistic .

"Haa..",a small sigh escaped from his oscular."Im....sorry...my belo...."

Before the words were complete.

Darius watched as the corpse of the once lively vampire fall face-flat on red liquid on the ground.

The dew minutes that followed ,only silence reigned,nothing moved as if in a standstill, only the mind of Darius kept on working.

With the Vampire dead this was supposed to be a victory for humanity but looking at this...it was nothing more than a loss in every aspect.
