Where is he?[1]

At their command,

the two powerful spells moved straight towards each other shaking the entire forest with their dense and powerful soul essence.

Sudden grumble shook the entire forest like a whirl of tornado had past it.

They flown straight away ready to be clash at any second.

In just a moment they clashed and _

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

A loud sound of outburst could be heard in the forest, their sheer impact destroyed half of the forest in just few seconds.

The collision was so large that it completely annihilated every living being, around a certain radius.

The ice needles crumbled from the impact and disintegated into several pieces all over the forest .

A large area , approximately half of the forest was turned deserted.

Their attacks made every thing into dust particles,

completely wiping whatever near it.

The whirlwind blew so much smoke that it covered the entire forest .

In the midst of smoke,

two individual could be seen .

One was on his knees with his hands on the ground, his body was completely scratched and handful of ice needles penetrated his skin forming large wound, due to which huge amount of blood started leaking from his body.

His upper clothes were all tattered revealing his bruised and injured chest.

On the other hand ,

A woman was lying on the ground sideways with a child on her hand .

She tightly wrapped her hands around the child so that he won't be injured.

Her back was burnt due to that attack.

And blood was dripping from her shoulders.

-------

A few moments ago,

When the spells collided with each other the lightning arrow easily overpowered the ice needles in its way and smashing them head on it moved forward without losing its strength.

In the blink of a moment, it destroyed the needles in its way and reached the glacier.

The lightning arrow landed on the surface of glacier with great force behind it.

Their tuffness testing each other and making the ground grumbled as a result of it all the particles floated in the air.

The scenery of purple and blue light colliding head on was a spectacular view and one would want to witness it's brilliance but the powers of this lights were not meant taken lightly.

It can kill any person below sage stage in just few mere seconds.

That's how powerful that collision was .

The arrow tried to break the glacier in one go but failed, it was pushed back a little.

Then again it moved with great force to shatter the glacier and this time cracks began to form.

Crackkk!!

Crackling sound could be heard .

But lightning was also losing its energy.

The durability of glacier was very high despite being it's output low.

And it was really impressive that Kathrine pulled it off in that state.

The cracks began to expand and lightning also seemed to weakened.

The situation was like a tug of war between them.

But the different was that it was between two attacks not players.

A few moments passed ,

then_

the glacier disintegrated into pieces and its parts flew towards all the directions without any trajectory.

It turned out to be lightning arrow won the game!

but at what cost_

it's power looked far less as compared to how it initially was.

But nonetheless it didn't stop an made direct contact with Kathrine's back who was protecting her child from it.

The arrow injured Kathrine's back , along with it thousand volts of electricity passed in her body .

Due to being sage she won't die from it that should be given but it will definitely affect her and just as expected it did.

She loosed her consciousness and fall to the ground sideways .

She didn't loose her hands on her child and protected him sincerely.

On the other side,

the numbers of crystalline needles also had some advantage over the arrow.

Lightning arrow failed to destroy all the crystalline needles and the ones it missed they passed it narrowly and went straight towards the vampire.

"..."

Vampires eyes were wide awake seeing the needle coming his way.

He immediately put his arm in front of him to defend himself.

But_

It was futile.

It wouldn't change a thing.

The needles came and created brutal holes all over his body .

One on his left eye , two on his neck , one on his left shoulder, five on his chest, three on his stomach and two on his right shoulder.

It was cruel scene.

His body was trembling with pain , every single wound burned with some unknown chilling sensation.

It was due to soul essence,

the needles were fully made of Kathrine's soul essence and she had manipulated it efficiently.

Due to which it caused the chilling sensation,

however due to having low output, the damage they dealt also decreased highly.

Black haired vampire thoroughly analysed the effect of needles, seeing the blood becoming icy he realised that it was Kathrine's essence doing.

Her essence was corrupting his blood cells by mixing her innate techniques power like some poison.

Making that part paralyze through dropping temperature extremely low in his blood cells.

After finding its way of working , he wondered for it's solution and it clicked him shortly.

He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and removed all the needles from his body.

The pain he felt was immense.

Biting his lip he endured.

Suddenly,his eyes appeared to glow with strange red light.

And all of his injured blood cells shooked violently before diasappearing.

He gritted his teeth and subconsciously wrinkled his nose due to amount the of pain he was enduring.

After a while, his body seemed to be getting better.

Breathing in he stood up.

And gazed at the distance where a figure could be seen.

He grinned widely and appeared just in front of that figure in nano seconds.

He knew,

that attack wouldn't kill her but will surely give some heavy injuries.

He felt amused And glanced towards the child in her hands.

Then_

He picked up the child in his hands .

"Hehe" he smirked.

Why?

Because her child was already 'dead'.

He closed his and enjoyed the moment , seeing the dead child of the man who had killed their beloved prince was blissful moment for him.

His mission had accomplished.

He felt a tingling sensation in his heart'.

And concluded that ,

He was feeling the emotion ' happiness '

"....."

No.

There's something wrong.

But what?

Suddenly,

His mind was getting heavier.

Like some sort darkness is invading it.

He rapidly opened his eyes and gazed downwards.

"!!!!?"

And the moment he did, he witnessed a astonishing thing.

Newborn child's whole body was covered in black hue .

The thick darkness surrounding him into his embrace .

He gulped at the sight.

And felt the thing he was unfamiliar with.

Fear

Sweat began to form on his forehead.

His mind began to spin and everything around him became hazy.

He tried to calm his mind .

But_

It was too late.

And the very next second.

Thick dark blade like structure manifested in front of his eyes.

He stared at it intently.

Then he tried to touch but in the blink of an eye it went straight for his eyes .

Thrusting his eyesballs it went in.

And he wasn't able to do anything.

The last thing he saw with his pierced and hideous eyes was a being formed from the thick darkness , an ominous

'SMILING CREATURE'.

And then with his eyes aghast, he loosed his conscious and fell on the ground.

He couldn't even closed his eyes and looked like he had seen a _

'ghost'.
