Sanguinis Clan Conflict 03

As for Maria, her movements swift and precise, faced off against the three remaining Sanguinis Clan goons. Each of them possessed the strength and combat experience of seasoned bodyguards, but they were about to confront a vampire whose lineage ran deeper, granting her supernatural speed and strength.

With a flicker of motion, Maria darted toward the first goon, her lithe form practically a blur. The man swung his fists, aiming to strike her, but she deftly transformed into mist, leaving his powerful blows to crash into the ground. The impact created a large ditch in the earth, breaking rocks as if they were mere pebbles.

Reforming behind her bewildered opponent, Maria struck with deadly precision. Her dagger, gleaming in the faint moonlight, found its mark, piercing the goon's heart. He gasped, his eyes wide with shock, before turning into ash, leaving nothing but a smoky residue.
