Thinking it thoroughly, I must gone insane. Thinking an extremely strong vampire as a training tool to defeat even stronger vampire? Insane without doubt.
"Sane people all died."
To survive in a world like this one must be at least a little bit insane.
"Don't come closer!"
Mana waves she threw towards me were similar to attack George used to defend me from acid blood before with one big difference. George's attack was concentered. Mana was focused in one area, creating a hard to pass shield. As a result it didn't cover too much area. Her attacks were opposite. They covered too much area but they were thin. So I was able to cut them and move forward.
"Why? Why don't you give up? Just leave us alone!"
I managed to close the distance between us. It seemed like she couldn't move at the same time attacked. I swung my sword, aiming for her right arm. If I cut one of her limbs it would be easy to restrain her. Just as my sword was about to sever her arm, blood covered her entire arm. It solified into an armor. It was durable enough to block my sword. Another ability Elizabeth didn't told me about. I growled. She grabbed my sword. Her other hand also became armored. She tried to punch me.Her punch carried speed and power yet it was heavily telegraphed. I let go my sword and dodged. At the same time…
"What?"
Blood protecting her arms was sucked into my sword. Kıyamet had a ownership ability. If anyone else but me held it, their blood would be sucked. She threw it, jumping back. I pulled several throwing knives and nailed her with them in different parts of her. I didn't had time to grab my sword. I closed to her and punched her in the face. My fist hurt. She tried do her mana wave her attack but due me hitting her nose her vision was blurry. I managed to her behind her and elbowed her in the back of the head. She faltered. One hit wasn't enough to put her down. She was tough. She also could heal herself so to put her down I needed something more. I pulled last of my throwing knives and stabbed her in the bicep. Her right arm was disabled, even if it was for the time being.
"Please just let us go!"
She begged as she swiped her claws towards me. She managed to create that armor once again. It was just around her arms. I stabbed her in the thigh and she fell to the ground. It was hard to use a throwing knife like this. I kicked her in the face and pushed her to lie down.
"Don't kill him! I do everything you want! I come with you without resisting! Please!"
She cried with her bloody face. I felt like I was the villain. I stabbed her in the other thigh, I had to make sure she wouldn't get into my way while I got rid of the ghoul. I severed her tendons. It wasn't so hard since I could see them. Only problem was when she struggled I cut more than I needed to and damaged her more than necessary. I looked at her eyes.
"Stay put."
Using Domination, I ordered her. I could see that she was resisting it.
"You…. Hurt… Her? I… Protect her!"
Ghoul managed to escape from the rubble he was trapped under. He looked at the vampire. He was bleeding. His blood was black. He stood there, hunched and twitching. Did he had some of humanity left? I moved to grab my sword.
"You… Hurt…. Her!"
He leaped towards me. He was fast. He moved in straight line so I elbowed him right in the jaw. I heard something breaking as he came to contact with me. I sent him flying and grabbed my sword. I could see with Hawkeye that his broken jaw healing in real time. But it didn't just stop with healing. It opened bigger than what it was possible. His cheeks were torn and black, rotten blood rushed. Countless sharp fangs similar to dagger filled his mouth. He leaped towards me, once again. This time I had my sword. I swung it. I severed his head. Or that's what should have happen.
"He caught it with his fangs?"
"Noah, don't!"
He lifted me and my sword with his mouth alone.
"If you do that you can't come back! I am fine! Please stop!"
Vampire begged and tried to crawl towards us. I kicked the lower jaw of him, breaking his fangs and saving my blade in the process. I may not be not the most muscular hunter around here but I was around 90 kilos. He was able to just lift me with his neck muscles? He also was able to stop my blade like this. I didn't used Sword Aura but my blade wasn't a normal steel blade. Looking at the deformed creature in front of me, I couldn't help but to think it was more dangerous than the vampire behind me. I covered my blade with aura. Cutting the head and tearing out the heart wasn't a sure way to win. But if I managed to do them, it probably would be weakened enough to be burned down by the Greek Fire. His tongue inside his mouth transformed and shot towards me. It was so fast that I couldn't dodge. It wrapped around my arm and started to pull me towards it. It's mouth also grew even more fangs.
"It stopped looking like a human."
He looked like a sick and deformed human when I saw him first. Now his head looked like a venus trap fused with a frog. His inner organs also kept shifting and transforming. Seeing the monstrosity front of me, I understood why vampires wanted ghouls to die. I severed its tongue. It managed to drag me. The strength it had was something else.
