[Kill the attacker]
"Well, now I have two reasons to do just that, "Finn said under his breath as he saw this notification.
The pawns surrounded the king at once to protect him. But unknown to them, the king was never the target.
The real target was the reprobate with golden and red eyes.
The woman was the mother of the female spawn Finn had eaten a while back. It didn't take much for Finn to understand her intentions. If anything, he was aware that justice was about to be served to him.
The female vampire made her way to Finn with impressive speed and as she closed in, she threw a claw slash that aimed to slice Finn's neck off.
But in that split inside, her claw attack was blocked by another claw. There was no time for her to be shocked that the little spawn had the power to block her attack because truthfully, Finn hadn't accomplished this feat. As a matter of fact, Agatha had stepped in.
"Keep your hands off my son!!"Agatha yelled out with red glowing eyes and teeth sticking out of her jaw.
"That deviant is whom you stand against me for? Where is your shame, Agatha?!!! You watched your SON eat my Daughter up like a beast!!!... Get out of my way!!!" the attacking vampire said. With these words out of her mouth, she charged forth at Agatha. Nonetheless, Agatha stood her ground unwaveringly.
"Stay away from my son, Felicia!!!"Agatha yelled out like an unhinged vampire. The two ran towards each other set to collide.
While this happened, the King and the bishops stood aside. None of them said a word and simply watched the two female vampires go at it.
"My King, are you certain we must not interfere?"A second-class ranked pawn said to King Shola.
"No, stand back. Let them have at each other, "King Shola said in a subtle tone.
"Perhaps the werewolves had made it through that far the last time because these people are weak. I don't only get to judge how strong they are but there's a chance the little one might do something, "King Shola thought.
Agatha threw a punch at Felicia who was the dead vampire's mother. Felicia avoided the punch with ease and with her claw-armed hands, she swung hers and scraped some skin off Agatha's face.
Following up quickly, she threw a punch that hit Agatha on the head and sent her tumbling to the floor.
Agatha got back up and with blood trickling down her cheek from the earlier claw scratch and the punch she took, she looked beaten from this exchange.
"You were never the fighter, Agatha!!"
Felicia announced as she charged forward again. But this time, she came with a spinning kick that smashed right into Agatha's jaw sending her flying off the stage platform.
The power behind the kick was further amplified by Felicia's rage to kill and speed as a vampire. Seeing the first line of defence totally dismantled, Juan pushed Finn behind herself.
Now Juan was standing with Felicia eyeing the one behind her back with a sadistic smile.
"You have no business here little one. I suggest you run!"Felicia said.
"Run, Finn!!"Juan said while standing her ground against a malicious Felicia who ran towards her.
But when she looked back after giving this instruction, she discovered Finn was no longer behind.
As Felicia came at Juan, a blue glow enveloped her hands. On seeing this, Juan knew the older vampire wasn't in the mood for games.
"Her core powers?!!!"Juan said still trying to understand where the sudden lashing out was coming from. If anything, she knew Felicia to be quite calm considering she was quite close to her mother. But from all indications, it appeared as though, every tie they shared was thrown away moments after the bishops made the announcement.
"Please calm down. I don't want to hurt you!!"Juan said aloud so that Felicia could hear.
"Pfft, hurt me? You saw what I did to your mother. You will only be an ant in my way. Now, where is that bastard brother of yours?!!!"Felicia said noticing the one she was after had disappeared from her sight.
*Rarrrgh!!!*
A loud cry was heard as a bloody Agatha came rushing back on the stage and with a swing of her hand, she released an aura that flew like droplets of rain.
*Bang*...*Bang*...*Bang*
Explosions went off in quick succession. Blood splattered on the platform where Felicia once stood.
Surprisingly, even with this strong attack, she was back on her feet but not the same. Her face was partly peeled off revealing a large extent of her bone structure around her jaw region.
Her clothes had also been torn off halfway and her left arm flung around freely indicating it was dislodged from its socket.
But even with how mutilated she was, Agatha could see a smile appearing on her face. At first, it was hard to notice but as her shoulders kept propping up and down, and sounds of laughter escaped her mouth, Agatha was sure of it that Felicia was laughing through all of the pain.
"At first, I only wanted your spawn dead. He is the reason mine is no more. But with the judgment from the wall of fate, not only he but we are all doomed. We can't let the nether gates open and the only way to do that is if he dies. But you still stand in my way to protect that repro abate of a spawn?!! Haha...hahaha...hahaha" Felicia said and ended with a burst of distorted laughter. Her red eyes glowed fiercer as she slowly took steps towards Agatha. With how she walked, one could tell she was hurt beyond words. But somehow fueled by rage, she made walking possible. She could heal the injuries but at the level they were, it would take some time and this was something in particular that Felicia didn't wish to wait around for.
"Now I'll kill you all!!!!" Felicia yelled out as she ran forward in a hobbling manner.
"You lie!!!"Juan said while running from behind Felicia with an outstretched claw of her own which was glowing blue as well.
She swung her right arm at Felicia cutting a part of her chest deep inside.
But Felicia was seemingly not hampered by the pain and proceeded to take her own reprisal measures.
Kicking her foot into Juan's stomach, she sent the other tumbling off. With Juan on the ground, Felicia hastily approached with glowing blue claws and swung at Juan's neck. But before the claw could hit, she got tackled down by Agatha.
Agatha sat on top of Felicia's stomach and pinned the latter by the neck and her one good arm.
"Don't make me do what I did to you again!!"Agatha threatened with fiercely glowing eyes.
"You lie!! That attack required immense energy to carry out. Do it again and we both die. Your hold around me is considerably weak, a testament to what I just said. Go ahead, I dare you, Agatha, do it!!!"Felicia ranted like a lunatic.
All this happened while the rest of the vampires including the king and his council stood by and watched. Seeing that the King didn't allow his vampire pawns to get involved, Agatha knew they were on their own and the decision was left in her hands.
She let go of Felicia's neck and stood up from her. She took a step back and watched as Felicia struggled back to her feet. This was the effect of the vampire core energy attack. It not only killed the user if overused, but it hampered the fast healing of the victim to a great extent.
As Felicia stood up, she looked around her to see eyes from all directions staring at her. She knew she had been defeated but if there was anything left other than her shredded down pride, it was her rage. She was passed livid at that point.
The killing aura around her was immense and any weaker being nearby would surely fall under this influence.
Without wasting any time, she threw her hands out at Agatha and a blue aura was unleashed. Unlike Agatha whose core attacks looked like droplets of rain, Felicia's own resembled a spinning gear wheel.
It hit Agatha on her shoulder and began to spin ripping her skin off like nothing.
"Arggh!!!"Agatha let out a scream in pain. But the wheel wouldn't stop spinning and when she looked up, she could see why.
Felicia had her hands stretched out and was still controlling the core attack. She planned to rip off Agatha's hand.
"Nooo!!"Juan screamed and bolted off her feet. She ran up to Felicia and hopped in the air with her knees in front which jammed into Felicia's already damaged jaw. Then with her palms wide open, she clapped Felicia's head between them and instantly, a bone popped out and pierced through Felicia's right eyeball. Her Jaws were completely dismantled and unrecognisable. Felicia fell to the ground and oddly, groans of pain could still be heard. But it was hard to tell if it was from her mouth or not as that part wasn't the easiest to find in the state she was in.
Juan wasn't done as she climbed on top of Felicia's stomach and raised her claws with a blue aura gathering around them.
"Die!!!!"Juan cried with fierce glowing red eyes. And swung her claws towards Felicia's neck.
"No!!! Don't...please!!"Agatha begged as she had been relieved from her own suffering thanks to Juan's outburst.
Juan's arms were held inches from Felicia's chest. On hearing her mother's plea, her eyes reverted to their dark colour. But the glowing blue claws were still active around her fingers.
"My turn,"...
A body fell from above Juan's head and propelled like a projectile head first. This was Finn and as he fell, he stretched his hand out and grabbed Juan's hand stabbing it into Felicia's chest.
But Juan's hand was not the only one to penetrate, his hand went through as well. Felicia's one good eye widened in an expression of pain and her gaze was fixed directly on Finn.
Juan who had been made to stab Felicia had turned her gaze to Finn as well.
But Finn wasn't done as he pulled his hand out of Felicia's body, Juan's face widened in shock seeing that Finn held a moving object in his hand.
