Vanessa stood her ground, arms crossed in front of her chest, her sharp gaze fixed on the enemies before her. They were just as described—giant slabs of flesh crudely shaped like humans.
More specifically, they resembled at golems, towering at five ters tall and three ters wide, their grotesque bodies composed of sinew and muscle bulging without skin covering them.
Their short, thick legs looked almost comically small compared to their bloated torsos, making them appear like unstable, imbalanced toys teetering on the verge of collapsing under their own weight.
Even though they didn't have eyes, it was as if they could see where Vanessa stood. And even without mouths, they were releasing an eerie sound, like zombies or ghosts.
"Oooo..."
Their movents were sluggish, but their size allowed each of their steps to cover quite a large distance. The gap between her and the three at giants closed in no ti!
All three of them attacked simultaneously, one using both fists curled like a hamr, slamming down, while the other two attempted to grab her, aiming for the spot where she would likely dodge.
"They've got so intelligence, but they're still dumb." Vanessa scoffed, raising a palm to catch the incoming attack.
*BAM!*
"...!"
But as soon as she received the attack, she realized her mistake. "S-So strong?!"
The at slab's attack didn't just co from its large mass but also from its high STR stat—estimated to be twice that of Vanessa's! She felt the bones in her arms crack under the pressure, forcing her to retreat quickly.
However, that's when the two hands ca toward her. Their movents appeared clumsy and slow, but their positioning and timing were perfect!
"Don't underestimate !!!"
But, of course, Vanessa wouldn't let them catch her, not even by mistake. A bloody aura exuded from her body, releasing a powerful pressure that sent the three laggards flying back several dozen ters.
Her left hand, which she had used to catch the earlier attack, was broken. Her bones snapped and even poked out of her skin, a painful sight. But thanks to the bloody aura now covering her body, her injuries began to heal rapidly, returning to their normal state in a flash.
"..."
Vanessa tried opening and closing her hand to get a feel for it before nodding. "These creatures are weird. Their STR stats are at least twice that of mine, and I'm already over level 1000!"
Of course, it's not like she had dumped all her stats into strength. However, it would still be hard to overpower her unless the enemy was at the sa level as her.
"These bastards... are they over level 1000 too?"
That was the only conclusion she could draw. If not, then they could be a bit lower-leveled but had focused their stats entirely on STR. "But that ans...!"
Vanessa rushed forward, her body clad in her bloody aura, making her look like a red cot streaking across the battlefield. Without holding back her strength at all, she sent a straight punch toward one of the monsters' guts!
*BOOM!*
The punch echoed loudly, signifying a solid hit. However, Vanessa's smile quickly faded as she jumped back to regain distance. She glanced at her fist, seeing her finger bones broken and poking out of her skin—rather than the enemy, it was she who had been injured!
"Not only STR, but even its CON is high. Without a doubt, this thing's over level 1000!"
The situation might have seed grim, but Vanessa wasn't panicking in the slightest. After all, she had only launched her best physical attack.
"And if you didn't know, I'm a Rare Mage Class called Bloodmancer, you bastards!"
*CLAP!*
This ti, she truly wasn't playing around.
She had gathered enough data and no longer needed the laggards before her. They were beings over level 1000 with high STR and CON, but their other stats were pitiful. Slow movents, a lack of mana, and even their inability to detect that they were already under Vanessa's spell were proof that their AGI, INT, and WIS were rock bottom.
"...!"
Just as she was in the middle of casting her skill, the three suddenly moved. They were fast, but not because of high AGI. Instead, they leveraged their STR to move faster, kicking off the ground like enraged beasts.
"So, you were waiting for an opening?!" Vanessa grinned fiercely but remained calm.
She had anticipated such a reaction from them. Although their speed exceeded her expectations, it was still within her margin of error.
"But you're still a beat too late! BLOOD WALL!"
With her words as the trigger, sothing strange occurred. Blood began seeping out from the three massive muscle monsters, forming a mist-like wall around them. The more blood they lost, the thicker the mist beca.
*THUD!*
They tried to advance, ignoring the mist at first, but quickly realized sothing was wrong. The "mist" wall didn't allow them to advance, as if a solid wall blocked their path!
*THUD!* *THUD!* *THUD!*
The three dumbos continued hitting the wall, trying to break through, but they were only wasting their energy. Their bodies gradually lost strength as blood drained from every orifice, further fortifying the blood wall that trapped them.
"You were troubleso opponents, but nothing much in the end." Vanessa sighed, shrugging her shoulders. "You're just a bag of muscles and blood, here to provide with greater strength."
Slowly, she raised her right hand, watching the thick blood wall in front of her. Inside, the giants were no longer even able to muster strength to raise their fists, but she didn't plan to let them off lightly.
"Suffer death in the embrace of the cruel maiden of hell. Blood Wall, Second Form—Blood-Iron Maiden!"
As her words echoed, the blood wall began to change shape. As described, it transford into a large chanical confinent made of blood, with the empty compartnt filled with nacing spikes of iron and blood.
The three at monsters were then dragged by bloody chains tied around their necks, which appeared at the sa ti as the Blood-Iron Maiden. They were pulled into the recesses of the large contraption, trembling ever so slightly.
*Snap!*
And with a simple snap, the doors began to close. It was a slow, tightening embrace, ensuring death through the cold spikes that pierced and dismbered their bodies.
*CLANK!*
When the doors fully closed, the engraving of the Iron Maiden appeared—its eyes glowing red, blood trickling down its face. The three who had slighted Vanessa now suffered eternal death as she pronounced beforehand, their souls obliterated.
The fight had ended in one decisive move, with the Vampire Bloodmancer claiming victory!
