Godslaying!
The Paladin are in a bad situation.
The Challenge Rating 21 Xenomorph Demon was indeed beyond their capabilities. If it weren't for one figure who, despite being covered in blood, continued to fight on the front lines with unwavering faith and willpower, the Xenomorph Demon would likely have already charged out. This young Paladin was severely injured; if it weren't for the Cure Divine Grace bestowed upon him by a Paladin who had initially been ambushed by the Vampire God Child, he would probably have already perished under the Xenomorph Demon's claws and fangs.
Indomitable Will!
No matter how strong his will and beliefs were, allowing him to unleash powerful combat strength even in Heavy Injury Condition, one thing remained unchanged: his Hit Points was constantly being drained away.
When Hit Points is completely lost, no matter how strong the belief and will, it cannot change the Destiny of his impending death!
Soren seemed to realize the shift in the tide of the battle.
His offensive grew increasingly Rage, to the point that he no longer dodged the Vampire God Child's counterattacks, relying instead on his powerful Constitution and the formidable resilience he gained after Change Shape the Slayer to directly confront his enemy. The Vampire God Child's Divine Energy Field had already been broken by Soren, and each attack from the Holy Avenger exacerbated the enemy's injuries. Even with the hundreds upon hundreds of Hit Points in his Avatar Form, he couldn't withstand the Holy Avenger's numerous heavy blows from his head-on assault.
Pfft!
Soren's chest was pierced by claws. Although they did not hit any vital organs, they pierced his lungs, causing his breathing to become somewhat erratic.
Click!
The Vampire God Child's hand was chopped off by Soren's Holy Avenger, and one of his dark blue claws was gone. Without thinking, he swung his sword again to slash at the enemy's waist.
--"Sword Momentum: Waist Cut!"
With a flash of cold light, the Vampire God Child's waist was severed in two by Soren. But just as his body was about to be cut open from Soren front, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared. Then, the Vampire God Child's figure transformed into a swarm of bats flying through the sky.
--"Bat Form!"
The last resort for high-ranking Vampire to save their lives.
This move might be nearly unsolvable for many, because faced with a swarm of bats, they wouldn't know which one was the true form of the Vampire God Child.
As long as the opponent's main body escapes!
Then all previous efforts will be wasted, and the Avatar Form can recover from its injuries in a very short time.
But.
The swarms of bats swarming through the air posed no problem for Soren.
How many bats are there?
It's impossible to tell in an instant, but there must be at least a hundred, right?
If so many bats were allowed to fly away, it would be very difficult to catch the target's true form. Therefore, the moment the enemy's body transformed into a bat, Soren put away the Holy Avenger. He had experience dealing with Legendary Vampire and had already devised tactics to deal with both the vaporized and Bat Form.
Even if he were facing the God of Vampires, Soren would still have a way to deal with these bats.
--"Whirlwind Attack!"
Clang!
In Soren's palm appeared the Legendary Scimitar Icetail and another Scimitar. His figure soared into the air in an instant. Just as the Vampire God Child's body exploded into a sky full of bats, the two Scimitar formed a terrifying storm of swords, and the cold light of the blades directly formed a curtain, sealing off all the surrounding space.
How fast can bats go?
Possessing the Feat Legendary Scimitar Mastery feat, Change Shape Slayer Form, activating all attribute boosts, and using Greater Haste, Sauron's agility temporarily surpasses 30 points. Simultaneously mastering Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, just how fast will Soren's sword strikes be at this moment?
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The Vampire Bat in the sky fell like rain; they hadn't even flown a meter before a large number of them crashed down.
In terms of attack speed, while Soren might not be as fast as a purebred Swordmaster whose base speed increases by 1 every three class levels, he is confident he can contend with any other Melee Class wielding Greater Two-Weapon Fighting. No matter how many bats this Vampire God Child Avatar, they will first need to fly out of his body's range. In such a confined and densely packed space, if Soren couldn't clear out these Vampire Bat even with both swords swung simultaneously, it would truly be a joke!
What kind of agile Rogue? It can't even kill these bats. It might as well just smash its head against a block of tofu and die.
Bang!
The bats that exploded in the black mist were instantly wiped out by Soren, but because there were so many of them, a few still managed to escape.
Clang!
Without a word, Soren flung out his Scimitar, first his spare Transcendent Scimitar, and then even the Legendary Scimitar Icetail Scimitar.
He instantly pinned down two bats that were several meters apart!
Three bats escaped, each fleeing in a different direction.
Soren's expression remained calm.
Elven War Bow +2 appeared in his palm. In an instant, he nocked an arrow, aimed at the bat on the left, and the arrow flew out, killing it instantly.
Vampire Bat is Vampire Bat.
They won't suddenly become supersonic fighters, and even though there are quite a few of them, they lost most of their effectiveness after Soren's first wave of attacks and cleansing.
Slurp!
The second arrow was shot at the bat on the right, and the arrow instantly killed its target.
--"Shadow Jump!"
--"Sword Momentum: Heavy Slash!"
After killing the remaining Vampire Bat with two arrows, Soren didn't hesitate. In an instant, he drew the Holy Avenger, vanishing from his spot, and then leaped Heavy Cleave at the last Vampire Bat!
Clang!
The Vampire Bat transformed into black smoke and reverted to their human forms. The Vampire God Child attempted to block Soren's attack with his claws, but he was met with a third, frenzied outburst. Soren wielded the Holy Avenger, Frenzied Attack, almost completely abandoning any defensive measures, and directly confronted the Vampire God Child head-on, pushing him forward relentlessly until he was instantly cornered!
Thump!
Soren's eyes were filled with murderous intent. In the instant the two figures crossed paths, the Holy Avenger pierced through the heart of the Vampire God Child.
A holy radiance erupted!
The divine power instantly charred the Vampire God Child's heart, but Soren did not hesitate for a moment. He drew his weapon and swung his sword fiercely at the Vampire God Child's head.
--"Sword Momentum: Decapitation!"
A merciless glint of light flashed, and the Vampire God Child's head was severed. His lips twitched slightly in mid-air.
"Who are you..."
Clatter
A head fell to the ground, and the body collapsed to its knees, lifeless.
The data appeared instantly and rapidly:
"Target eliminated!"
"You have slain [the God of Vampires] - Reinhard!... Drained the target 'Soul Energy!... You have gained some Slaughter Experience!..."
"Alarm! Alarm!..."
"Interference caused by unknown energy!... Failed to extract Slaughter Experience!... Failed to extract Slaughter Experience!..."
"The target's Soul Energy has been significantly drained by an unknown target!... You have gained some Slaughter Experience!..."
A strange melody began to play!
Just as Soren unleashed his fury, cornering the Vampire God Child, the Hell Poet suddenly gritted his teeth and risked injury to create distance. Everything happened in an instant. Just as Soren pierced the Vampire God Child's heart with his sword and severed his head, the Hell Poet suddenly crushed his Magic Flute, and an indescribable, eerie melody echoed around them.
--"Hell Requiem! [Legendary War Song]"
--"Soul Bind!"
The sudden burst of power was not directed at anyone else present, but at the Vampire God Child had died instantly at Soren's hands.
The Hell Poet held a strange black crystal in his palm.
The moment Soren killed the Vampire God Child, a strange crimson hue appeared in the black crystal, then instantly turned into a crimson expanse, within which the projection of a soul could be faintly seen.
"The soul is imprisoned!!!"
Soren reacted in an instant, ignoring the data prompts that continued to appear behind him, and directly swung the Holy Avenger at the Hell Poet in front of him.
Buzz!
Strange things began to happen.
The Hell Poet's figure vanished suddenly, like some Greater Devil, leaving only an echoing voice. "Heh!... No matter who you are!... I will come back for you!..."
Soren was so enraged that his hair and beard bristled, and he nearly went berserk. He swung the Holy Avenger and slammed it to the ground, roaring, "Bah!"
"Come at me now, you son of a bitch!!!"
pity.
The figure of the Hell Poet has vanished.
Data kept flashing before Soren's eyes, but now was not the time to look at it. He stomped his foot angrily and charged at the Xenomorph Demon in front of him, swinging the Holy Avenger.
This was a real miscalculation!
Soren never dreamed that the Hell Poet would use Soul Bind at that moment, directly imprisoning the Soul Energy he was supposed to absorb into the crystal.
The Slaughter Experience is essentially Soul Energy.
The Hell Poet used the [Soul Bind] spell to imprison the soul of the Vampire God Child, which was equivalent to absorbing most of Soren's Slaughter Experience.
How can we prevent Soren from going absolutely berserk?
Fortunately, the Vampire God Child was already dead. The Soul Bind could only take away his soul, not his other powers, so Soren only lost a large amount of Slaughter Experience. The only thing that worried him was the unclear relationship between the Hell Poet and the Devil. Under these circumstances, his sudden action to imprison the Vampire God Child's soul was a mystery, and he wondered what his intentions were.
but.
Let's take out the Xenomorph Demon behind us first.
A Greater Demon can somewhat compensate for one's losses, and with the Holy Avenger at one's disposal, such good opportunities to steal kills are rare.
