"Wh-what...!"
Arcueid was taken aback.
It wasn't just Arcueid; Fang Li's expression also changed drastically, filled with utter amazement.
"...!"
Nrvnqsr stood rigidly in place.
A shadow had silently appeared behind Nrvnqsr and forcefully grasped his body. The shadow bared its sharp fangs and pierced Nrvnqsr's neck deeply, causing blood to flow from the wound.
The scene was exactly like that of a "Vampire" attacking it's prey.
Yes.
The sudden attacker treated Nrvnqsr like prey, sucking his blood.
No, the shadow did not suck Nrvnqsr'sblood, it looked like the shadow is consuming Nrvnqsr's very being.
A Vampire was devouring another Vampire.
That was what was happening.
Fang Li and Arcueid could only watch as the vampire sucking Nrvnqsr's blood smiled at them.
It was a cruel, almost grateful smile.
Anyone who saw that grin would think the attacker was saying, "Thank you for bringing me such fine prey.
Then, keeping his bite on Nrvnqsr's neck, the vampire grabbed him tightly and, like a wild beast, darted into the forest shrouded in darkness.
In the end, only Nrvnqsr's voice echoed, filled with hatred and regret.
"How dare you do this to me?!"
"'Serpent'--!"
The scream immediately faded.
Only then did Fang Li and Arcueid finally react.
"'Serpent'?"
Arcueid's aura changed dramatically.
It became incredibly threatening.
In her eyes, those crimson eyes shone with emotions almost identical to Nrvnqsr's scream.
They were filled with hatred and remorse.
Driven by intense emotions, Arcueid stomped on the ground, shattering it. She shot towards the forest like a sharp arrow from a bow.
Fang Li watched with a deep furrowed brow. However, without the slightest hesitation, he flashed forward and chased after her.
In an instant, the entire courtyard was empty.
It was as if the fierce battle that had just occurred had never happened.
Only the chaotic scene remained.
...
Under the pitch-black night sky, various corners of Misaki Town were still brightly lit.
But even in the busiest city, there are places where the light cannot reach.
Next to the residential area of Misaki Town was an industrial district that went dark after nightfall, devoid of any human presence.
However, within this industrial area, a shadow like a wild beast was carrying its prey, running on all fours across the rooftops of the buildings.
The speed was almost comparable to a bullet, flashing by in an instant.
Soon, two more figures jumped out from the residential area and landed on the edges of the industrial area's buildings, shooting out like cannonballs.
"Hū----!"
The sound of the wind howled in their ears, testifying to the incredible speed at which they were moving.
Fang Li, almost like a complete phantom, moved swiftly past the buildings, chasing after the vampire running wildly in front of him.
Beside him, the True Ancestor Princess was also in pursuit and her extraordinarily beautiful face was filled with intensity.
Arcueid moved with superhuman agility, stepping on the rooftops of the buildings with force, matching Fang Li's speed, which even surprised Fang Li.
Although the True Ancestor Princess was badly injured and had lost most of her strength, she was still able to keep up with him. It was hard to believe.
Of course, this was nothing less than a final burst of power.
In order to catch up with the vampire in front of her, Arcueid seemed to disregard her own body, desperately squeezing out power to barely maintain this speed.
One could only imagine how determined Arcueid was with regard to the vampire that had suddenly attacked.
"Don't think you can escape..."
Her red eyes seemed to convey this determination as Arcueid created a gust of wind and charged forward.
Aside from the possible consequences of Arcueid pushing herself so hard, Fang Li, as a speed-type Primary Divine Envoy, made full use of his speed, moving as fast as a meteor.
However, the fleeing vampire obviously lacked such skill. With a prey in its mouth, even though it was running on all fours like a wild beast, it was gradually being overtaken.
But at that moment, numerous shadows emerged from the buildings ahead.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...!"
With a roar-like growl, the shadows crawled out of the buildings like spiders.
These people were variously dressed in business suits, school uniforms, work clothes, and even traveling overcoats.
However, their rationality and sanity were completely lost.
They were no longer human, but dead.
Drained of blood by the vampire and reduced to mere tools of servitude, they had no semblance of life.
Like moving corpses, the dead howled and rushed forward.
They were like a swarm of locusts emerging from their nests.
"Get out of the way!"
Fang Li and Arcueid shouted almost simultaneously.
Then they charged straight into the oncoming dead.
"Chī----!"
In the crackling sound of the wind, the gleam of blades and claws appeared simultaneously.
"Pū Chī----!"
The sound of tearing flesh echoed clearly.
Like wolves attacking a flock of sheep, Fang Li and Arcueid mercilessly began their slaughter.
With each stroke of the crescent-shaped dagger, a corpse was cut down on the spot.
With each flash of the bloody claws, another corpse was torn apart.
It was like a brutal dance as Fang Li and Arcueid weaved through the group of dead, killing them one by one amidst the flashes of blades and claws.
Severed limbs fell to the ground like broken toys.
This lopsided massacre didn't last long.
After a while, all of the attacking dead had been killed.
"Ha... Ha..."
Amidst the pile of severed limbs and bodies, Arcueid's panting could finally be heard.
It was a sign of her exhaustion.
Fang Li also stood amidst the corpses, his gaze fixed forward.
There, the figure of the vampire with his prey had long since vanished without a trace.
"Damn..."
Arcueid's voice, filled with extreme unwillingness, softly echoed in the area.
Fang Li simply stared ahead, whispering lowly.
"'Serpent'…"
