Strength and Ability

"You're saying Arcueid Brunestud more powerful now than it was before it came to this city?"

In the Misaki City, which had been transformed into a sea of fire, with buildings engulfed in flames and burning continuously, on one of the streets, Ciel rushed forward at lightning speed while exclaiming in astonishment to Fang Li beside him.

"Isn't that True Ancestor's injury still not healed?"

As he spoke, Ciel casually threw a nail-like sword forward, piercing through several screaming corpses that lunged at him. The sword, still carrying momentum, sent the corpses flying and pinning them to the ground.

Fang Li, on the other hand, followed beside Ciel as if taking a leisurely stroll. His figure was like a streak of light, his feet seemingly not touching the ground at all, as he swept forward. He didn't even glance at Ciel, and simply gave this answer.

"Indeed, Arcueid's injuries have not fully healed, and she is still in a weak state. She probably hasn't even recovered half of the power she lost," Fang Li said. "But even so, Arcueid is stronger than she was before she came to this city, and at least she is no weaker than she was then."

This is just a very simple calculation.

Before arriving in this city, Arcueid was at his peak, but due to his vampiric urges, most of his power was used for suppression, and he could only unleash a portion of his strength.

So, assuming Arcueid uses about 70% of her power to suppress her vampiric urges, then before she is killed once, Arcueid can only use about 30% of her power.

Even using only 30% of his power, Arcueid was still able to annihilate the Fallen True Ancestor and was feared by all the Dead Apostle. He could easily deal with even the high-ranking Dead Apostle at the level of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors in this state, so his strength was unimaginable.

However, after being killed once, Arcueid expended most of her power in order to revive.

If this portion of power is also assumed to be 70%, then Arcueid can only use her remaining 30% of power to suppress the vampiric urge that originally required 70% of power to suppress. Naturally, she cannot succeed in doing so, which makes it difficult for her to deal with even some dead people. After seeing Fang Li's blood, the vampiric urge broke free of its restraints and affected the princess.

Naturally, in that state, Arcueid was no match for Ciel, and was almost completely suppressed in Ciel battle.

"However, Arcueid no longer needs to suppress her vampiric urges with her own power, and can fully unleash the remaining power," Fang Li said. "In that case, even if Arcueid can only unleash 30% of her power now, it will be almost the same as when she came to this city."

Even if Arcueid in this state doesn't reach the Second Level, he can still unleash the power of the Third Level's limit, right?

With this level of power, even Fang Li, without fighting desperately, would absolutely be no match for Arcueid.

"As for Roa, even if he plundered some of Nero's power and recovered to the level of a high-ranking Dead Apostle, plus the blessing of this otherworldly Demon City, he is only at the level of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors now. He should be a little stronger than Nero, who is ranked tenth, but he is definitely no match for Arcueid."

Fang Li said to Ciel with great certainty, "Roa may have calculated everything, but he could never have predicted that Arcueid's vampiric impulse had been killed by me. He must have thought that Arcueid still had to use most of her power to suppress the vampiric impulse, and that in such a weak state, with his strength, he could have captured Arcueid alive, right?"

However, although Arcueid's power had not yet recovered, even without suppressing her vampiric urges, she was still a force that no mere Dead Apostle could match.

"He miscalculated his own abilities and also miscalculated the enemy's abilities. That fraudster really keeps putting on Jester farce for us."

Fang Li's speed did not decrease at all; he still swept forward like a streak of light, ignoring the dead who kept roaring and rushing towards him from all sides, and spoke with a mocking tone.

"If it weren't for the fact that he still possessed some of the power he plundered from Arcueid, and that his magical skills were quite good enough to create this otherworldly magical city, he probably would have been killed by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ciel fell silent. After a long while, he spoke in a low voice.

"So, does that mean the True Ancestor should be able to kill this generation's Roa?"

Upon hearing Ciel's words, Fang Li shook his head.

"No, there's probably still no way."

As he said this, Fang Li raised his head and looked at the night sky behind the huge magic square.

There, a full moon sits.

"Tonight is the full moon, and Roa's immortality has been raised to the limit. In addition, because of this magical city, his power is constantly being strengthened. I'm afraid he won't die so easily." Fang Li calmly analyzed, "Moreover, although Arcueid's current power is no worse than before he came to this city, his injuries have not recovered. I'm afraid his combat power will be slightly affected."

After all, the parts killed by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are originally irreversible. Even if Arcueid uses her powerful abilities to reverse death, it is not an easy thing to fully recover.

"Moreover, Roa underestimated Arcueid's strength, and Arcueid probably underestimated Roa's strength as well."

Fang Li asserted this.

"I'm afraid Arcueid is very likely to be overturned in the end due to insufficient intelligence."

No matter what, Arcueid had no idea.

It is unknown whether Roa has gained new power in this life.

"Smack..."

With a crisp sound, gravel fell from mid-air, hitting the marble floor and rolling away.

This is the interior of the skyscraper.

Judging from its structure, it should be a shopping mall somewhere.

However, the shopping mall has undergone a complete transformation.

Because above the mall, the entire ceiling had disappeared, as if it had collapsed, leading straight to the sky.

The top of the skyscraper, including the rooftop, and several floors seemed to have been blown to dust, turning into a pile of rubble that filled the entire shopping mall.

It looked as if a section of the entire skyscraper had been cut off, which was extremely horrifying.

In the ruins of the shopping mall, Arcueid tightly gripped Roa's neck, holding him up in front of her.

As for Roa, his head was hanging down, and his expression was not clear, but it was a pitiful sight.

Half of his body looked like it had been blown off, leaving it a bloody mess.

Fresh blood kept flowing down.

Even with Roa in his grasp, Arcueid's eyes still carried a terrifying pressure as he murmured softly.

"Die..."

Just like his declaration before taking action, Arcueid didn't waste any words with Roa and raised one hand again.

At that very moment, Roa suddenly raised his head.

"Laugh----!"

A knife appeared in his hand at some unknown time, and with Roa's swing, it slashed towards Arcueid with a sharp whooshing sound.
