Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 33: The Fall of the Dwarves, part 4
Just a moment after his opponent's firm cry, Hecrust immediately shot out to attack the saint. His adamantite-eyed spear was plated with thick mana. But the response of the saints was not bad either. He had drawn his second-edged sword to block the vampire's spear.
No one held back. Although neither of the two used offensive spells, they moved the weapon in full force. They also move at full speed. The twangs of the two metal blades clashed until they left sparks.
Hecrust boasted his spearmanship. However, rumors about the sword ability of Saint Petra are not just a figment. Hecrust was stronger and faster, but Saint Petra's refined reflexes and techniques prevented Hecrust from dominating the fight. This older man was one of the best in the sword arts.
The two continued to fight relying on their respective flagship weapons. Because Hecrust had been defensive from the start, the saint's position was pushed backwards. They were already tens of meters away from the starting position of the fight. Moreover, it was when Hecrust started to combine lightning magic in his attacks. Saint Petra was made to bounce far away until it swirled in the air.
Impressively, the leader of the Order of 9 Knights Templar was still able to balance themselves and landed with two feet—although having to use the sword as a pedestal.
Hecrust cut the distance between them quickly. His lightning-clad spear was ready to pierce through the armor that the saint was wearing. It is fast and the stab is strong. Even for the saint sepupu, being hit by one stab would give fatal wounds. Hecust could win without relying on his other abilities.
However, right half a second before Hecrust's spear eyes pierced through the target's body, Saint Petra's body was already clad in pale white light armor. [Light Magic] was yellowish in color; the light covering the body of the saint was clearly the production of [Holy Magic]. Zero commas a few seconds later his sword moved. Dan—
“Holy Radiance!”
—Hecrust crashed. Waves of hot light hit the vampire's body violently. It looks like it's burning. The light had no significant impact on Hecrust's clothes, but his skin seemed to peel off. [Holy Magic] did give more effect to undead, vampires, and demons.
“You have a strong [Holy Magic],” praise Hecrust after his foot rest—his lightning armour instantly turns into wind. “But now I'll be serious.”
Taking a deep breath, Hecrust shot out at high speed. Of course he's not faster than before, but he's becoming more dangerous. Of all the elements, Hecrust could say he had the most control over the wind. The majority of his spells no longer even needed magic circles. Hence, when serious, he would focus on implementing wind magic in his spear game.
“Ultimate Light Magic:—” Mana in high numbers leaves Saint Petra's body; sword of light after sword of light begins to form surrounding it. The rate of increase of the sword of light was exponential, quickly the number exceeding a thousand—surrounding the user like a flower petal. “—Petal of Swords!”
Immediately, all of the swords of light shot towards Hecrust which was also shortening the distance with the saint. Not only were the swords fast, but the power it carried was also great, let alone the amount. Hecrust's favorite Spell, Great Wind Explosion, won't be able to thicken it all. Mak—
“Ultra Great Wind Explosion.”
—There is no choice for Hecrust other than to use one of its three most destructive [Wind Magic] spells. Spell it he dorsed without stopping his pace.
Everything around Hecrust was blown away with great force. There was not a single sword of light capable of suppressing that super-powered wind impulse. Even the surrounding land was destroyed and crashed, creating a huge crater. The extent of the attack range to make most of the Knights Templar soldiers exposed to the effect.
Saint Petra herself also bounced. The distance and Hecrust when the spell was active were only a few meters away. He had tried to withstand that great shock force, but he bounced and slammed down to over a hundred meters. The Hecrust that did not stop speeding when releasing the spell had failed to land any additional attacks. Their distance has been far away.

Ultra Great Wind Explosion I've never heard of that spell. It was a dozen times stronger than Great Wind Explosion. What is an original vampire spell?
Petra stood up while ignoring the question that popped into her head. That's the original spell of the vampire or not doesn't matter. What is clear, the spell was able to throw the spell following Petra. The Holy Barrier that he had activated earlier was also destroyed, but at least it reduced the effects of the hurling that his body received.
Not yet had Petra's two legs landed after jumping dodge, the vampire appeared on a wind spear and then darted to attack him. The saint moved his sword in a minimalist manner. It does not try to block; it cannot surpass the force that the vampire unleashes because of the difference in position. Petra harnessed the immense power of the spear to thicken itself in a safe direction.
Holy Magic: Holy Wave, Inner Petra just as both feet landed, unleashed a surge of holy light on the lunging vampire.
Seeing the vampire crashing, Petra stuck her sword on the ground and put the palms together. “Ultimate Holy Magic: Petals of Eden!” lantang.
Ten large magic circles that overlap each other are created above the vampire, the diameter reaches fifteen meters with the vampire trying to stand as the center. Less than a second later, sheets of light flower petals gushed out from within the ten magic circles. They all immediately enveloped the vampire and continued like that until a giant flower petal-shaped altar was created in the core there is a masked vampire.
“Vanish, the manifestation of sin, thus this world will be jes—”
Petra's words stalled in her throat, the petals of her holy flower that could even fuse a pure vampire withered quickly. Petra looked on in disbelief at the flower petals that had collapsed and were blurring into those bits of dust. This reminded him of the vampire monster he had failed to kill back then. The difference, this time Petra knows the cause of his spell failure. The vampire had used her blood magic.
He's stronger and more skilled than I thought. His spear play would probably make Sir Arthur praise him. What can I do. I have to use my trump card.
Using a trump card meant that he would die after the effects of his amazing abilities were exhausted. However, seeing how his soldiers were slaughtered, doubt did not slip into the saint. He would be tens of times stronger with that ability. Although the time is only less than five minutes, Petra will maximize the time to finish off the three vampire leaders.
With a steady determination, Petra took off all her armor and clothes— making her just clad in long black pants and shoes.
“...What do you want to do by taking off your armor and clothes? You want to give up and prostrate for mercy?”
Petra ignores the vampire's confused questions and coats her right hand with mana. “Final Holy Magic,” smooth while then stab his chest alone with his hand smeared mana. “Embodiment of Holiness.”

Cainabel— who was still busy killing the enemy soldiers—spontaneously stopped his steps as a large amount of energy gushed powerfully from the location of the Hecrust battle. The previous shockwave had already grabbed attention, but the huge energy emitted this time around was at a higher level. Cainabel could sense how dangerous the energy source was.
However, before he could get there to help Hecrust, Cainabel's attention was diverted to other sources of energy. His eyes spontaneously rose up looking intensely at the sky of the capital. “Khrometh,” murmured with a frowning forehead. “Will he shoot us with some kind of plasma laser?”
Cainabel looked back at Hecrust, wondering which one she had to deal with.
“Khrometh colem is more troublesome,” break Cainabel while floating into the air. “Again, Lucard is here.”
With that conclusion, Cainabel slid high into the air, darting straight towards the golem that was gathering a high amount of energy.
