Cling—!!
As soon as I summoned my relic, a sudden burst of flame illuminated the dark hall.
Almost instantly, a mystical golden armor materialized on my body. The glowing red ruby on my chest cracked and shattered.
Despite the vampire assassin's sword clanging against my neck, it proved ineffective against my armor's defense.
I remained unscathed with fiery wings of brilliant orange flame visible behind me– slowly extinguishing.
As the smoke and darkness continued to obscure my vision, the piercing, ominous glow of Magnus' red eyes loomed in the distance.
A hoarse, demonic voice reverberated through the darkness, sending chills down my spine.
"This was your plan?" the vampire hissed. "To cause a blackout? Don't you know that we, vampires, are creatures of the night? We can see perfectly in the dark!"
I slightly raised my hands and shrugged nonchalantly.
