A Thousand-Year-Old Iron Tree Blooms? (5.2K) (continued)
"The same trick won't work on me."
Despair.
Mahiro a step forward, and ripples of magic spread out from beneath his feet once more.
The blood rain that was affected immediately stopped in mid-air and then abruptly turned around to attack other falling blood rain.
Boom--
What appeared to be just ordinary blood exploded violently upon impact!
It was a clash between pure magic and pure magic.
They annihilate each other, devour each other, and strangle each other.
However, in the next instant, a deafening roar came from the sky.
Rumble!
The stars that had been circulating within the barrier of night suddenly fell.
It differs from the Meteor Night at Maya.
Those countless stars were no longer just light spheres and rays of light, but genuine meteorites!
A magnificent meteorite, as tall as a tower, struck Elizabeth from several directions: above, below, left, right, front, and back.
The aftershocks alone seemed to crush her delicate body to pieces!
Swish Swish Swish--
Like an elegant waltz, Elizabeth twirled gracefully in mid-air, the scythe in her hand drawing beautiful lines of blood that spread outwards.
With just a few strikes, the surrounding meteorites were completely shattered.
"That's pretty good."
Mahiro's voice suddenly came from behind her, and Elizabeth's long dress suddenly writhed and transformed into thousands of tentacles, instantly enveloping the boy who appeared behind her.
However, Mahiro's actions were still as simple as swinging his sword.
Without using a single trace of magic, she was able to easily deflect these high-speed tentacles with sheer physical strength.
As if strolling in the sky, he took a few steps forward with a carefree air.
However, the numerous bright red tentacles continued their frenzied dance, but this time they seemed to be deliberately avoiding Mahiro as they passed by him.
Despair.
Another step.
He had seen through all the tentacles' movements and appeared in front of Elizabeth in an instant.
"My lovely queen, would you please dance with me?"
Elizabeth was slightly taken aback by the sudden invitation. Their eyes met for a moment, and then a clear and calm voice softly came from her cherry lips.
"Sir, may I ask your name?"
"Of course, my name is Yotsuba Mahiro."
Swish--
The Demon-Slaying Holy Sword in his hand flashed a sharp white light.
Elizabeth instinctively raised her blood-stained scythe to block, but the sharp blade sliced through her scythe as well, leaving a gruesome wound on her chest.
"Cough..."
This was the first time in a long time that the [Blood Queen] had let out a sound of pain.
But the next second, both the wound and the scythe had completely healed.
The two wielded their weapons, slashing and clashing against each other, staining the entire space with the color of blood.
Meteorites fell intermittently, their outstretched tentacles intertwining.
Their speed has surpassed the dynamic vision of the naked eye; it's a true battle between beings beyond human comprehension!
During this process, Elizabeth raised her magic threshold countless times, but each time she was Mahiro outmatched by Mahiro.
It seemed endless.
Gradually, Elizabeth's calm face showed less restraint and Decomposition.
She no longer suppressed the uncontrollable power within her and released it all!
The massive surge of magical energy was of no consequence to Mahiro, but it was far from pleasant for [Demonic Possession] like Alpha and Epsilon below.
"Ugh..."
Alpha clutched her arm, her delicate body trembling slightly, her brows furrowed.
She sensed it.
She felt a faint, tinging pain, a mixture of longing and hatred, coursing through her entire body.
The magic power became slightly disordered.
Although it could no longer cause her any harm or impact, the feeling did indeed make her feel disgusted.
"Epsilon, are you alright?"
"Yes, Lord Alpha, I'm fine."
Epsilon had the same expression.
With just a glance, they could understand each other from their eyes.
Those are symptoms of [Demonic Possession]...
At that moment, they seemed to understand why Mahiro had stopped them from coming; if more people came...
"Epsilon, go down and check on the others. I'll guard this place."
"Yes, Lord Alpha."
Epsilon also understood the urgency of the situation; those newcomers from the Shadow Garden below were not the Seven Shadows.
Their control over magic is not very skillful, and if left unchecked, something bad could easily happen!
So he immediately jumped off the edge of the tower.
When they reached the ground, Juggernaut's body was already lying to one side, covered with curse marks from the poisonous curse.
The others were curled up on the ground in pain, their bodies crackling with crimson arcs of magical energy, clearly on the verge of losing control of their magic.
Even Newt was in great pain.
Only No. 559 was alright, because that was a power personally bestowed by Mahiro, and his level was completely different from that of the Seven Shadows.
"It seems the game should end."
Mahiro noticed the situation on the ground, and with a flick of his longsword, he immediately deflected Elizabeth's giant scythe.
Then, he stretched out a hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
"Freeze, Mahapadma!"
Esdeath's technique, created with the Imperial Arm [Demon Manifestation], is recreated here!
The surrounding space, everything was frozen.
Even Elizabeth, who was radiating powerful magic, gradually slowed down and eventually fell into a state of stillness.
Mahiro came directly behind her, grasped her slender arm with one hand, and lifted her long red hair with the other to reveal her fair neck.
Two sharp teeth grew out of its slowly opening mouth.
"You should return the blood I lent you."
[Blood Collection - Rapid Absorption]
He gently embraced the woman's slender waist with one hand and took a bite towards her porcelain-white collarbone.
At this moment, time and space shift once again.
"Ah--!!!"
Feeling her blood rapidly draining from her body, Elizabeth couldn't help but let out a painful cry. Her hands instinctively grabbed the hair of the person behind her, her delicate fists flailing weakly.
But it didn't hurt or itch at all, and it was of no use.
Mahiro showed no intention of letting go.
"Lady Elizabeth!"
Even Mary was shocked by what she saw.
Lady Elizabeth, the progenitor of vampires, has been sucked of her blood?!
Elizabeth's face, which had just regained some color, gradually returned to its original paleness, and her eyes gradually dimmed before regaining their clarity.
In the end, his arms fell limply to his sides, allowing the person behind him to drain his blood.
That... should be the end of it, right?
Elizabeth was thinking this at that moment.
Then he heard someone calling his name from below.
Her gaze shifted slightly, looking down, and the moment she saw Mary, her gaze softened.
"Ah, Mary... I'm so sorry for making you worry for so long, and for protecting me like this for so long..."
She wanted to say that, but her trembling lips couldn't utter a sound.
However, Mary still managed to read her lips.
She shook her head frantically, her long hair of the same color flying wildly.
"No, Lady Elizabeth..."
With the Snow Woman and Alpha blocking her way, she desperately stretched her hand upwards, as if she could reach that distant place in this way.
To be precise, it did indeed touch upon that.
Just as her blood was about to be drained, Mahiro released Elizabeth, letting her fall from the sky back to the top of the tower.
But his eyes had become even more eerie and bloodshot than before.
The blood still lingering on his lips, the immense magical power emanating from him—it was as if he were the true progenitor of vampires, reigning supreme over the world!
"Alright, it's time for the final blow."
A ruthless voice suddenly rang out.
Mahiro slowly raised the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword in his hand and gently drew it towards the sky.
Swish--
The sky, which had been shrouded in darkness, was instantly filled with immense magical power and turned pure white!
To illuminate the world in daylight!
The magical arcs flowed orderly through the air.
Now that we've come into this world, how can we not try that move?
"I am..."
What is he trying to do?
No one knew, at least not Mary, who was tightly embracing Elizabeth's mangled body.
All I could feel was this immense magical power that was enough to overwhelm my mind.
"Recoery Atomic"
The words had barely left his mouth.
All sound disappeared.
A fierce stream of pure white light filled the entire field of vision; its dazzling brilliance was enough to make any living being faint.
It reflects the entire Lawless City.
Mary did indeed faint.
