Tesodous immediately casts a spell and creates a barrier around the people, to stop the Vampire from collecting more blood from the people. However, it is already too late, as the Vampire lord already has all the blood he needs, hovering above his head.
A sphere of blood can be seen hovering above the Vampire lord's head. The blood sphere is almost the size of a soccer ball and the Vampire is currently shaping part of the blood into something that looks like bullets. The Vampire sways his hands in the air and launches the blood bullets towards the Necromancer.
The Necromancer's face turns pale as he sees hundreds of blood bullets heading towards him, then he hastily summons 10 undead minions which he plans to use as his trump card.
Swooosh!!!!
The sound of explosions can be heard on the field as the blood bullets collide with the 10 undead minions that are shielding their master.
Looking through the dust that the attack created, the Vampire lord notices that none of the undead minions were destroyed, but they are missing several limbs, and the noticeable thing about these minions is their rotten flesh and the tattered armor on their body.
The Vampire doesn't stop there though, as he has only used one-third of the blood sphere for the blood bullet attacks, so he begins to form a blood sword.
Immediately the Necromancer sees this he orders six of his Undeads to charge towards the Vampire. The undeads dash towards the Vampire with the beast swords in their hands, and at an extraordinary speed.
Clang!!!!
The sound of the blood sword and the beast sword colliding ensues as all the undeads attack the Vampire lord at the same time.
The Vampire squeezes his face in anger once he notices that the undeads are smarter and much stronger than the ones the Necromancer first summoned, because they are able to parry his attacks effortlessly. The Vampire lord is having a hard time dealing with the undead because it takes a lot of his mental strength to control his blood sword and the blood sphere that is still floating above him. One of the Undeads suddenly appears behind the Vampire, and stabs its long beast sword into the Vampire's chiseled body.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" The Vampire groans in pain as he leaps backward and swiftly uses his blood sword to cleave off the head of the Undead that stabbed him. He quickly conjures the remaining blood sphere and turns it into several tennis balls, and launches them towards the Necromancer.
When the Undeads see that their master is in danger, they quickly run to his side and shield him from the incoming attack.
Booooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A large explosion occurs as the Vampire's blood bombs fall on the Necromancer and his undead minions, causing the field to shake violently and debris to fly around.
The Vampire is also sent flying backwards due to the shockwave of his explosion but he quickly stands up and removes the beast sword that is still stuck inside him. When he uses his keen eyesight to look through the debris, he sees the Necromancer standing on both feet with a battered cloth on his body. However, his undeads are nowhere to be found as they protected him at the cost of their own destruction.
"Fuck! Magic users are so strong! They just heal themselves as they wish, but I'm going to finish him off as soon as possible" The Vampire says as he grits his teeth and summons the small blood sphere that he kept in case of an emergency. The blood crawls on his right hand and begins to swirl around his fists, then the Vampire dashes towards the Necromancer with his right hand, spinning continuously.
"Eat my blood drill! You miserable human," the Vampire curses, darts towards his opponent then leaps into the air. 7 meters away from the Necromancer, he aims his arm drill to pierce right through his chest.
The Necromancer remains calm and composed as the Vampire darts towards him. However, as the Vampire's blood drill is about to hit his chest, he spins his body in the air, using a strange footwork.
Before the Vampire can even register what is going on, the Necromancer crouches down and dips his right hand into the hard floor, removing a one-meter long whip that is made out of bones.
The Necromancer swings the whip at the Vampire at such an incredible speed that even the Vampire is unable to parry the attack and he is left no other choice but to use his blood hardening to shield himself.
Plop!!!!!!!!
The Vampire lord's head rolls on the floor as the boney whip slices through his blood-hardening like tofu and cleaves off his head, causing dark red blood to spurt around the field.
After killing the Vampire, the Necromancer glances at the crowd that is watching him from above, then he smirks and says;
"You are all going to hell with me!!" The moment the words leave his mouth, his body begins to swell like a balloon that is about to burst.
When Tesodous sees this, his face turns pale and he shouts; "Turn on the formation crystals! Now!! He's about to make his mana core explode" Tesodous shouts in horror at the top of his lungs, while the soldiers panic and hastily activate the formation crystals.
A bright white blinding light, pierces through the sky, and a huge barrier appears and shields the people when the formation crystals are turned on. At the same time, the Necromancer's body turns red hot before his body finally explodes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The whole stadium shakes violently as the might of the explosion begins to spread across the field.
Crack!
The barriers begin to crack as the shockwave of the explosion is still vigorous and threatens to swallow the whole podium with its might. People begin to panic and piss their pants, as they blame themselves for coming over to watch the deathmatch. However, they can't really blame themselves, since such an occurrence has never happened throughout the history of the Graven kingdom's death matches.
Tesodous on the other hand is levitating above the field and casting several high-tier spells to reduce the impact of the explosion. He is using invigoration to retrieve the mana that the necromancer expended. But at this point, using invigoration is like charging a mobile phone with a direct source of electricity but without a charger.
After a few seconds, the raging explosion dies down, and the barriers shatter as the energy inside the crystals have been depleted. When people see Tesodous, he is no longer the handsome middle-aged elf he once was, but rather he is now an old man with white hair, wrinkled skin and sunken eyes. Invigoration took a toll on his body and caused him to tap into his life span in exchange for mana, then people begin to hail and cheer him for risking his life.
Meanwhile, inside the king's chamber, the king can be seen clenching his fist on his throne while his eyes flashes with anger under the mask that he is always wearing. His queen, concubines, and children all become tense due to the amount pressure that is emanating from him. No one has ever seen the real face of the king, not even his wife and children, as the mask on his face looks like it has been welded to his face permanently and he has never taken it off in anyone's presence, making him the most mysterious and feared king among other kingdoms. Even his family was not excluded.
Vincent, who is in his mother's arms, suddenly develops baby diarrhea, due to what he just witnessed, so now his bowel is leaking uncontrollably. Surprisingly, his mother has no emotion on her face but it is obvious that she was ready to lay her life down for her children if worse had come to worst, but fortunately, the incident died down. She sighs in relief and glances towards her children, making sure that all of them are okay, then she says;
"Let's go home, we've had enough excitement for today, it is not necessary to wait till the event ends, the king will also understand that I'm a nursing mother," she says to her children.
Immediately the words leave her mouth, she doesn't wait for their replies as she carries both Vincent and Savina in her arms and begin to walk out of the stadium while her children follow her from behind without questioning her authority. Hilda finds Amelina's behavior strange but she is guessing that she might still pissed off by Yohan's words. Although, deep down she feels joy as Amelina always treates her like her child, and not like a mere slave.
Unknowingly, while the Oswald family are taking their leave. A small tiny insect sticks unto Zadicus's clothes. The insect isn't an ordinary insect but rather it is the consciousness of the Necromancer.
"Hehehe, what a perfect vessel, he was so easy. I noticed him from far away and saw the dark desires within him, haha! I fooled those idiots, now watch how I destroy them with this human vessel, kukuku" the insect grins and crawls into Zadicus's nose, with the aim of attacking his blood cells and taking over his body. However, he is greeted by a nasty surprise as Zadicus's blood cells absorbes his soul and his dark energy like a food nutrient.
At the same time, Zadicus starts feeling some changes happening to his body, like nausea.
"Why is my body feeling different today? I didn't eat any bad food!" Zadicus thinks to himself as he boards the carriage along with his family.
========================
Note: The baby arc has finally come to an end, I hope you all grasped what occurred in this chapter. Will Zadicus have the power of the Necromancer soul that he unknowingly absorbed???
