Chapter 267 - An Enemy, or an Ally?



Chapter 267 - An Enemy, or an Ally?

Like an uncoiled spring, the powerful body of the Vampyre Price broke the sound barrier as he neared the Celestial Disciple of the Faerie Race in the blink of an eye!

His hands had formed into the shape of a bloody claw as he aimed towards the heart of the being in front of him without a second thought.

Although taken back and given less than a millisecond to react, the being of the Faerie Race was not holding the title of a Celestial Disciple for nothing.

"Fate's Protection!"

A resonant howl escaped from her as her hazel blue wings shone, gaining a golden hue as a protective bell formed around her to meet the bloody claw.

BOOM!

An eruption rocked the skies of the First Hell as the bloody claw met the golden bell, the two beings that clashed being safe and sound as the Celestial Disciple had blood dripping from her mouth. The two humans that were moving with her were ripped to shreds from the impact as the Vampyre Prince looked languidly at the enemy in front of him, not sparing a second more as he had already felt the movement of numerous beings headed their way.

"Blood World."

OOONG!

Essence rumbled and roiled as the simple words triggered ancient magic that went to envelop the area half a mile from the Vampyre Prince at the center. An expression of confusion and slight fear entered the mind of the Faerie as she recalled her teachings on Fate, never having foreseen something like this happening to her today. The fear overtook her pride as she took out her medallion and placed essence into it without a second delay, knowing her power could not stand against the enemy targeting her.

Yet to her dismay, nothing occurred no matter how much energy she placed onto the medallion!

"In my Blood World, not even an ant can find respite. What makes you think you can escape?"

More and more confusion clouded by fear sprung into the mind of the Celestial Disciple as she looked towards the Vampyre bubbling with essence as she calmly called out.

"Do you know who you are targeting? My death will bring you untold trouble, and most likely your death if you were to know exactly who was behind me."

The Faerie wiped away the blood still leaking from her mouth as she looked calmly at the silver-haired Vampyre whose eyes had turned even redder at her bleeding body, and sharp teeth that glistened gold could already be seen in his wide jaws.

"Little Celestial, your identity is the sole reason why I targeted you to begin with."

Shock!

Fear!

The calm expression that was always kept by all Celestials wiped away from the Faerie's face as she moved her essence in a last minute dash the moment she realized this madman targeted her even while knowing who she was.

"Constrain."

SHAA!

With a simple command, countless lines of dripping blood erupted from the circular Blood World domain as they tightly held and pulled on the limbs of the Celestial Disciple. The lines of blood went on to cover her entire body as she found she could not move any muscle, nor any of her essence as she felt helpless for the first time in many years.

Her eyes were barely wide open as she noticed the silver-haired Vampyre right on her, his bloody eyes glistening with hunger as his jaws went for her tender white neck, two extremely sharp golden canines leading the way.

The Blood World that had covered the distance of the surrounding half a mile disappeared a few minutes after, a gorgeous Vampyre Prince becoming visible again as he licked the last bit of blood from his lips. There was an ashen husk of a being in his arms that was gradually turning into ash as he turned his attention to his surroundings.

Not too far from him in the flaming skies, numerous flying Undead had surrounded the area just a few meters where his Blood World used to be. He could observe fearsome auras leaking from Bone Dragons and deadly Blue Phoenixes, not to mention the tens of thousands of undead that had inexplicably populated the molten ground. All of them had golden fires shining in their boney eyes as they looked up solely at him.

The Vampyre Prince looked coldly at this, watching the Undead leaking the most fearsome aura at the Void Rank, a golden green skeleton that was standing on top of a Blue Phoenix that blazed with flames. The commander of these undead seemed to be tilting its head in confusion as it looked at him.

A few thoughts passed through his mind as he began to float away, not wanting to engage with this new being after expending so much of his energy, while also not worrying about whether they knew the identity of the being he had just killed.

There were very few people across the vast worlds who would be able to ascertain the identity of a Celestial, especially one that was on the throngs of death. His slightly reckless actions here today would not be known by anyone other than himself.

The droplet of blood beneath his feet began to move away from the eyes of the many undead as he prepared to break the sound barrier and leave this area, but his plans came to a complete halt as his calm expression became stern the moment he heard a few words.

"Now why would a Prince of the Vampyre Race be hunting down Disciples of the Celestials?"

The Vampyre Prince was brought to a halt at the mention of these words, his gaze turning increasingly serious as he tried to find their source among the droves of undead circling the skies and the ground below him, finding nothing but shining eyes with burning flames.

OONG!

He acted without a delay as he knew the importance of what he just did a few minutes ago, and how such an event could never meet the light of day. Should it be known that the Prince of the Vampyre Race had killed a Celestial Disciple, the consequences would be catastrophic. He placed his hand near his chest as a bloody key formed out of nowhere, entering his chest as he turned it swiftly, unlocking something he never thought he would use in the First Realm of Hell.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

A resounding sound of a beating heart erupted as the Vampyre Prince shone with a red light, a circle of blood erupting with him at the very center as it went on to cover the surrounding two miles!

SHAA!

He wasted no time as in this expanded Blood World that covered four times the distance of the normal ones, his first target was the Lich holding a golden Skull Staff as ropes of bloody lines turned into sharp spears around the Blood World, piercing any Undead they came across as even more spears targeted the Lich standing above the Blue Phoenix.

"Constrain. Pierce. Absorb!"

Powerful words left his mouth as stupendous destruction began to occur in the Blood World, many of the lesser ranked Undead turning to nothing in a few seconds as only a few Bone Dragons and Blue Phoenixes were left, some being ground down to bones while the remaining few had each of their bodies holding serious injuries, but not yet dead.

The Vampyre Prince sighed at this as he placed his hand near his chest again, knowing he would have to go all out if he wanted the events in this place to never be known by anyone.

"The more curious thing is that the Underworld should be aligned with the Celestials, thus your participation in this Infernal Hunt. Which makes these set of events so interesting, don't you say?"

The Vampyre Prince's face turned ugly for the first time as he heard this voice again, and it was not anywhere in the two miles where he had expanded his Blood World, but somewhere outside of it.

His impossibly gorgeous face twisted slightly before it regained its composure, and he breathed out slowly as he pulled his hands down and recalled the Blood World. The silver hairs on his head looked slightly dimmer as he turned towards the injured undead in the skies, and the many more Undead outside the two miles of his previously cast Blood World as he voiced out with a devilishly dangerous smile appearing on his face.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

A simple meeting was taking place between two completely different beings in the First Realm of Hell.

At the same time, a Celestial Disciple had faced an untimely death.
