When Mizuki saw the appearance of the monster in front of her, all of her instincts shouted danger; she was on full alert. Looking at the monster's appearance, he remembered the information he had received from the church whale.
"Remember, Mizuki. Romanian vampires are on a completely different level than the ones you destroyed in Japan, especially the 'count' class vampires'."
"These vampires are like humanoid weapons of mass destruction, and, if that's not enough, they have a kind of 'transformation' that harnesses the true nature of this vampire power. If you encounter a vampire like this in your quest, you must immediately retreat, after all, you have not received baptism to become my general."
'back? I'm sorry, but I won't carry out this order', Mizuki thought with a slight smile of disdain.
"Keep in case! Use a level 3 spell! Gentlemen, the vampire class count is in front of you, be prepared to die if necessary." He shouted while taking out a fan from his pocket.
"Yes mom!"
He opened his fan and spoke in a neutral voice: "Susanoo, the Japanese god of the sea and storms, blesses my ally with the protection of the sea!"
Suddenly water begins to appear at the feet of Mizuki's allies, and slowly this water begins to wrap the hunters in a protective layer. And before long, this water turned into the armor of ancient Japanese soldiers who fought in the Sengoku period.
"Oh my God, bless my fists so that I can take revenge," Carlos spoke as he was covered by Mizuki's armor, his fists began to be covered by golden energy.
Soon all the hunters started casting spells similar to the one Carlos did.
The creature looked at Mizuki with a smile on its face that showed all its sharp teeth, the hunters felt their bodies shivering when they saw the creature's smile, but, instead, the hunters felt their bodies shiver, before the hunters could do anything, the creature lost interest in them and turned towards Ruby. .
"Purple?" Ruby spoke in a daze, but when she saw the face of the creature, she spoke in shock, "D-Honey? What the hell happened to you? And how did you get this power!?"
Ruby tried to get up but she couldn't, she looked at her wound with an annoyed look; 'It's too long to heal, what happened? I must have resistance to the energy used by the church.'
Ruby looked at Victor's face with a stoic expression, she had some thoughts raging in her head now; 'Why is she here? Why does he have access to this form? I'm glad he's here, but I'm worried about him, he's not strong enough to fight a killer like Mizuki, we have to go! But I'm glad he's here. I don't want him dead...'
As Victor stared at Ruby's wound, he felt his heart clench in pain. He wanted to roar furiously, he almost lost control of his own body. But, as a final stubborn show, he managed to survive in a state where he understood everything as if it was a dream.
He was awake and at the same time he was sleeping, but there was only one thing he believed in, only one thing he wanted to do now;
'I'll kill them!'
Suddenly all the hunters felt as if the world had lost all color for a few seconds, everyone could feel the killing intent so intense that they forgot to breathe for a few seconds.
Victor turned around and looked at the hunters. As the hunters looked at Victor, they felt their bodies suddenly become heavy... Fear, the purest feeling of man, is what they feel now.
They could not breathe, they could not move, as if their bodies were unwilling to obey and they just froze.
"What the hell is that?" A slightly younger hunter asked while shivering. Despite having been hunting vampires for several years, he had never come across a vampire like this.
"CC-Quiet" A hunter spoke while stuttering a lot.
Victor's eyes started to look around, he seemed to be going crazy at all times, he looked at all the hunters as he opened and closed his fists several times.
Mizuki looked at him neutrally and thought; she was weaker than I had imagined, so she put the fan in front of her and spoke in a low voice:
"Tukuyomi, give me peace night, peace night under the moonlight."
White energy focused on Mizuki's fan, and then he waved his fan, and this energy spread to all of his subordinates.
And, as if it was magic, everyone started to become calmer; everyone felt inner peace, and they did not feel fear anymore... But, the charm did not last long as Victor suddenly moved and appeared in front of a hunter.
He opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the hunter's neck, "Ahhhhhh~! Save me! Save-me-" The hunter could not shout anymore because soon he had turned into a dried mummy, as if he had lost all the blood on his body.
Victor stopped biting the hunter, and when he removed his head, the hunter's entire body disappeared into ashes; even the blood of the hunter splashing on him disappeared without a trace.
This demonstration frightened the hunters. The only ones unaffected are the more experienced hunters, all thanks to Mizuki's charm, and because they have seen something similar in the past.
"He broke my armor so easily..." Mizuki could only comment in disbelief.
'Am I wrong in my judgment ...?' thought confused.
Then he ordered: "The body of this monster is extremely hot, if you don't have a high-level protection technique, don't come any closer! Or you'll turn to ashes!"
"Carlos!"
"Yes ma'am"
Carlos ran towards Victor and punched him in the face, Victor saw a fist on his face, and immediately he smiled as if he was unimpressed.
"Monster, don't laugh at me!" Carlos attacks him again, but to no avail, he cannot injure Victor's body.
Victor grabbed Carlos' bald head.
Carlos felt his flesh burning as Victor held his head.
Victor runs towards the other hunters and holds their heads, the friend next to the hunter tries to cut off Victor's hand, but the golden sword only scratches Victor's skin.
Victor looked at the two heads he was holding as if they were watermelons, he showed a wide distorted smile.
Carlos realized what Victor wanted to do quickly using a defensive spell. Victor hit the heads of the two men together!
THE CRACK!
The sound of broken bones was heard by all the hunters nearby.
Carlos managed to survive the attack, but the hunter who became his subordinate brain exploded.
Victor grabs Carlos by the neck and throws him to another hunter with all his strength.
"Ughh! Catch me!" Carlos shouted when he realized that he was unable to regulate his center of gravity, he started chanting spells, and soon his body glowed golden.
Carlos' subordinate nodded and caught Carlos' body.
Before Carlos could do anything, he saw a gigantic fireball flying towards them.
"Fuck ..."
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"HHHHHHH!"
Seeing those fireworks, and hearing the screams of the hunters, Victor's sadistic smile grew in satisfaction.
"We must flee ..." A hunter spoke in fear, he gulped his saliva and shouted, "We can't fight this monster!"
"Fuck, I won't die from such nonsense!" When this hunter was about to escape, he heard Mizuki's voice:
"Is that the attitude of a hunter? If you're not ready to die, you shouldn't be in this job!" He spoke with obvious contempt, he hated the cowardly attitude of the hunter.
He ignored the useless man; this monster was strange. He was strong, but he had a feeling of inexperience; he only used his strength directly... Let's try something.
"Bishamonten, give me the weapon to destroy my enemy." He spoke in a neutral tone, and his fan started to glow red, then, suddenly, his fan turned into a two-meter-long Odachi.
Mizuki raised Odachi with her right hand as if it was not heavy and placed it on her shoulder, and displayed a predatory smile. Everyone could feel that the air around Mizuki was changing, if before she looked like a graceful woman, now she looked like a beast!
Mizuki took the talisman from her pocket with her left hand, closed her eyes, and held the talisman in front of her.
"Abe-No-Seimei, lend me your wisdom to defeat this Oni."
The talisman disappears in a blue light, and soon the same light begins to cover Mizuki's body. When he opened his eyes, a magic circle was engraved inside.
Mizuki crouched down slightly, and slowly the sword blade began to be enveloped in blue energy; she bent her knees and with a push, and flew towards Victor like a missile.
As he approached Victor, he pointed at Odachi diagonally.
Realizing the threat, Victor suddenly disappears in front of Mizuki and appears beside her, then he attacks her trying to tear her head off.
"It's useless," he said smiling while blue energy shone on his body.
Victor doesn't understand what's going on, but he suddenly shouts from a pain he's never felt in his life: a:
"HHHHHHH!" He screamed like he was a wounded animal.
"Winner!" Ruby shouted in concern as she looked at the wound on her chest.
Victor held onto his bloody chest, slowly, the flames covering his body began to weaken significantly.
Realizing this was an opportunity, Mizuki smiled crazily and brandished Odachi again, this time she wanted his head!
But before his sword tore off Victor's head, a huge ice wall appeared in front of him.
Odachi Mizuki cut through the ice wall easily, but soon he realized the monster was no longer in front of him, he also heard the neutral voice of a woman. He turned his face and saw a woman wearing a maid outfit, he looked into the blood red eyes of the woman and realized that she was a vampire.
"I'm sorry but I can't let you kill my master, I haven't got enough pats."
Seeing the darkness covering the servant's legs, Mizuki spoke: "Klan Kuroyami..."
"Oh? It's been a long time since I've heard that name." Kaguya smiled slightly.
Mizuki looked around and saw that the monster was being hugged by Ruby, the monster had a fire that was much weaker than before, and he also sees that Ruby used her ice ability to seal the wound she caused to the monster: the:
"When I destroyed the Japanese noble vampires, I saw records of them talking about vampire clans that could control shadows. They are the best killers in Japan. A clan of ninja vampires controlled by noble vampires who have friendly relations with Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
He looked around a little further and realized that Ruby's servant had disappeared; 'Where is she?'
"They keep records about us... It's shocking, I think they've forgotten us." Kaguya spoke in an emotionless tone.
Mizuki looked at the monster with dangerous eyes and with a big smile on her face. With the previous confrontation, he could understand that the monster was not experienced in fighting; he had great strength, that was a fact, but he did not know how to control it. The power, and not knowing how to control it, in the fight against the hunter is deadly.
'I must eliminate him, a monster like him cannot stay alive; I must not miss this opportunity' he thought with determination.
Cough!
Victor coughed up black blood on the floor, and soon the flames covering his body began to slowly die, and finally, his transformation was undone; he had already returned to normal.
'The poison's starting to work, good. But, this is only temporary, this poison is not strong enough to kill the noble vampires; I must eliminate it!' thought Mizuki.
"D-Honey!? Are you okay!? Baby!?" Ruby tried to talk to him, but Victor's eyes were unfocused as if he was lifeless.
Looking at the black blood on the floor, Kaguya looked at Mizuki: "What are you doing?"
"That's not something you need to know." Mizuki spoke while positioning herself. He placed Odachi on his shoulder again, and bending his knees, he then took out the talisman from his pocket. The talisman began to shine, and soon he spoke while throwing the talisman at Kaguya: a:
"Ken, Zo, Fa, Oder!" Waves of fire erupted from the talisman and flew towards Kaguya.
Kaguya stared at the approaching flame neutrally, "Onmyoujutsu, this is something rare these days."
Kaguya's body began to be shrouded in darkness, and before long two daggers appeared in her hands, she cut the flames horizontally, and when the fire was extinguished, she saw Mizuki running at high speed towards her.
Kaguya's darkness began to grow, slowly, darkness began to seep into the ground, and soon all the surrounding land was covered in darkness; it was as if Kaguya had created a 'region' just for him.
When Mizuki entered Kaguya territory, suddenly thousands of black hands started to come out from the ground and head towards Mizuki.
"Ck, sucks" Mizuki's sword began to be shrouded in thunder, and with a diagonal swing, she obliterated all the shadow hands made by Kaguya.
"Where is he?" Mizuki said while looking around.
"You hurt my master, it's a serious crime." He heard a voice in his ear.
Mizuki tried to escape, but she could not, as soon as she felt the dagger piercing her heart, her face showed an expression of disbelief. It was as if he did not believe he would be knocked out so easily.
Cough!
He coughed up blood on the floor.
Kaguya pulls a dagger out of Mizuki's heart and when she goes to decapitate her head, she hears an ancient and powerful voice: a:
"Enough!"
A blue force leaves Mizuki's body, and Kaguya quickly disappears into the shadows and returns to Victor's side.
"Spirit of the guard ..." Kaguya stared in shock as she looked at the old man floating around Mizuki.
The old man waved his fan in his hand and immediately the wound Kaguya gave Mizuki started to regenerate at high speed.
He nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Kaguya with a neutral gaze:
"Oni, you're using a very cunning technique."
