I quickly turned around and looked back at the group of cows that were charging up another attack, but I wouldn't allow them to fire. I sent out slashes of demonic energy towards the herd of rotting cows, in response, a bony exoskeleton grew over their bodies blocking my attack. I manipulated the shadows around the cows and turned them into hands and held down the cows. They started releasing a black miasma from their bodies and I could feel the shadows fading away and my control on them soon disappeared. I flapped my wings hard, releasing a strong gust of wind and a wave of demonic energy successfully blowing away the black miasma.
I swooped down onto the herd and thrust my sword into it's back but it's bone shell was barely cracked.
'[Demon Enchant].' I thought, activating my trait causing my sword to be covered by a red aura. I lifted my sword and slashed down onto it's neck, decapitating it. Before I could even read the system notification, a few of the cows charged at me but I jumped up into the air avoiding their charge. The cow I just killed exploded into a pile of black blood and rotten flesh as it's fellow undeads rammed into it with all their might.
'I need to end this quickly, I wonder if I can pull it off this time.' I thought as I looked at the herd of undead cows. I took a deep breath before intensifying my aura causing my entire body to be covered in red energy. I held my hand out and all my aura gathered in my front of my palms creating a large red orb. Sweat started rolling down my face as I concentrated all my efforts on controlling the orb, the orb trembled as I struggled to control it. I looked down at the cows and I could see them charging another black orb.
'Shit, shit.' I thought as I struggled to control the orb. I decided to launch my attack before they launched theirs, I made the orb split apart into dozens of smaller ones and then I launched them at the cows.

I panted heavily as I had placed a lot of demonic energy into that attack although I only managed to kill around half of them and only injured the rest. That attack was also something I learned on my own through experimentation, although I have never been able to launch it like that. The undeads were already healing, which means I need to act fast before they could completely recover.
'[Blood Rush].' I thought and I could feel the blood in my veins flowing rapidly like an onrushing tide and I could feel my muscles contracting faster than ever before.
*Slash*
*Pssshh*
I swooped down onto the horde and beheaded one of the cows causing blood to spray all over my body, but, I couldn't worry about that now. The cows released more of that black mist and I simply flapped my wings again to disburse it. I then continued to slaughter the cows faster than they could do anything about it, but I was getting injured as well. I could feel the black mist ravaging my body at an amazing speed, but I was culling the herd faster than I was dying.

"Haahhaah." I panted heavily as I kneeled onto the ground amongst the corpses of the dead cows. My entire body ached and it felt like my skin was ready to fall off my body, I looked at my hands and I could see that they were full of scorch marks. I got up off my knees with a groan and spread my wing wide before taking to the sky, I looked down at the battle field and I could see that all the trees and grass in the area has withered into white powder.
"I need blood." I snarled, my vision turned red and my fangs had extended from beneath my lips. I quickly flew back to my house to get a bottle of blood before I lost it and succumbed to the blood rage.

Unbeknownst to Alice, two figures were watching her. The first was an undead wolf that was hiding it's aura but it was unaware of the second person that was watching it. As soon as the wolf saw what happened, instead of attacking, it ran back towards K town to inform it's master. The second person,however, was a short woman with short white hair, green eyes and had pointy ears. She was spying on both the wolf and Alice from on top of a tree while writing notes in a book.
'It seems that that Demon Noble isn't here afterall. A shame, that vampire seems strong but she isn't strong enough to fight a horde of ghouls and a Corpse Lord by herself, truly a pity. I would rather not do business with undeads though.....maybe I should watch what happens a bit longer. Maybe the vampire and that Angel can pull something off.' The little woman thought amused.
