When coming here, the Vampires had one general thought in mind and that was to kill all the Werewolves without mercy. This was why they were all dressed in powerful beasts armour.
Seeing the beasts armours worn on them all the Werewolves could think of was that it was just a show off.
As for Nightshade looking at him, one could see that he was completely covered with Beasts armor, with only his piercing eyes exposed. Nightshade stood tall and strong, as if he were a statue carved from granite, an imposing figure ready to do battle. His expression was cold and unreadable, giving no hint as to what he was thinking. Would he fight with words, or with weapons?
Cleomenes II stared back, his own expression equally hard to read. It was a moment frozen in time, the tension thick in the air. Cleomenes II instantly turned into his Werewolf form as he was ready to finish Arthur in a single go.
Arthur had two swords by his sides that were made from Legendary Beasts Crystals. The swords emitted a dim blue light in contrast to his entire bodily armour that emitted a dim red light. Nightshade swung the swords in the air showing his flexibility with it.
"Stop behaving like a clown." Cleomenes II mocked as he dashed towards Nightshade.
Cleomenes II who was in his Werewolf form dashed towards Nightshade on all fours and when he got close Nightshade lifted his sword and blocked Cleomenes II's attack. The sound of metal clashing against metal filled the air as they struggled for dominance. Nightshade's eyes were full of determination, and Cleomenes II's eyes were full of rage. It was a battle of wills as much as a battle of strength, and the tension was almost unbearable. Nightshade pushed Cleomenes II back, and they circled each other warily. Neither wanted to make the first move, each waiting for the other to make a mistake.
Cleomenes II growled, low and menacing, and leaped at Nightshade, claws outstretched. Nightshade sidestepped the attack and brought his sword down in a sweeping arc, catching Cleomenes II in the shoulder. Cleomenes II howled in pain, but quickly retaliated with a swipe of his own claws. Nightshade blocked the attack with his sword and pushed Cleomenes II back again. They circled each other once more, and Cleomenes II was panting and bleeding, both of their eyes locked in a fierce gaze.
The other Werewolves that stood there couldn't believe the fact that Cleomenes II who was the Strongest Werewolf has been easily injured by Nightshade. They also noticed that Nightshade was faster and even stronger than Cleomenes II. But How? Werewolves are Stronger and Faster than Vampires. But how is Nightshade defeating him so easily.
Cleomenes II out of anger dashed forward again and as he got close, he swiped his claws as usual aiming for Nightshade head.
SWOOSH!
The claws hit nothing but air as Nightshade easily dodge the claws by moving his head backwards and sent a kick with his right foot to Cleomenes II's chest.
BANG!
A loud bang was heard as Cleomenes II body jolted back from such a powerful kick. A strong gust of wind also hit everyone present. The Werewolves present could feel such power and were starting to get scared. As for the Vampires, they just smiled and smiled as they couldn't help but smile.
Cleomenes II stood up on his feet instantly and was ready to attack again and this time more aggressively. He felt the weight of the kick. It was much more powerful that he had anticipated, to the point that the kick broke many parts of his chest bones. Due to his quick super healing as a Werewolf and his overwhelming Stamina, he was able to get up again, but that didn't reduce the pain as he could feel the strong pain in his chest.
'He wasn't this strong, the last time we had a confrontation.' Cleomenes II thought confused as he grabbed his chest.
"You've grown stronger, Cleomenes II," Nightshade said, his voice calm and even. "But you're still no match for me. It's time to end this. Yield now, or face your destruction." Cleomenes II snarled, his eyes glowing a deep red. "I'll never yield to a lowly Vampire like you!" he roared, his claws extended, ready to strike. But before he could make a move, Nightshade's sword was at his throat again. "I'm warning you," Nightshade said, his eyes glowing a brilliant blue.
SWOOSH!
That was the sound everyone had heard. The speed was too great. Even for Nightshade that he had almost stumbled a few times when he was practicing in the New Vampire Settlement. But right now, he is used to it. Before the Vampires came for this fight, they had practiced several times.
The Beasts Armour the Vampires had increased their strength, Stamina, Agility, Speed and others. It was like a boost. It also helped in protection and it was Hundred Percent Guarantee that a Werewolf's claws wouldn't be able to pierce it.
Naturally due to the extreme training the Vampires and the Vampires Related Races have done. Their strengths have greatly increased.
'Impossible. How could he move so fast.' Cleomenes II thought a bit scared as a sword was pointed at his throat.
In a flash, Cleomenes II leapt forward, claws extended, ready to strike. But before he could reach Nightshade, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He looked down, and saw that Nightshade had used his other sword to stab him in the leg, effectively halting his advance. "I told you, I'm not going to lose," Nightshade said, his voice still calm and composed.
Cleomenes II swung his massive clawed hand towards Nightshade's face, but before he could make contact, Nightshade reacted in a blur of speed. He brought his left sword down in a diagonal slash, severing Cleomenes II's left forearm from his elbow. Blood spurted from the wound, and Cleomenes II let out a howl of pain. But Nightshade was not done yet. He brought his sword down again, this time severing Cleomenes II's right forearm. Cleomenes II collapsed to the ground, his arms now useless stumps.
"I would still heal. Do you think that is enough!" Cleomenes II shouted at him.
Nightshade uses his right palm to drag the head of Cleomenes II forward. Naturally, Cleomenes II Should have been able to overpower him, but the grip was too strong and this was all due to the beast armour. The injuries inflicted from the sword refused to heal.
Nightshade dragged his head forward and held his left sword tightly and said. "This is for the Vampires you have Killed!" He shouted.
And then stabbed Cleomenes II in the heart and cutting of his head in a swift motion. Killing him instantly...
