Of course, while it sounds simple, this move actually requires extrely profound body control that itself transcends the human realm. It was only after Eiji stepped into the first realm of the Twin Wings Style that he could accomplish it.
Ordinary swordsn were far from capable of this.
"What's wrong? Already done? Get up and fight so more!"
Eiji looked at Roa, revealing a thoroughly provocative gaze.
Roa's eyes turned cold.
It must just be a coincidence.
How could this guy possibly surpass in strength?
Did I devour Dracula for nothing?
Holding onto such wishful thinking, Roa vaporized again, shifting and weaving through the air, his sharp beast-like claws once again tearing through the sky as he swung at Eiji.
"Using the sa move again?"
Eiji curled his lip, as if finding it boring.
"Clang!"
A fierce collision sound rang out.
Roa's figure was sent flying back again, his body collapsing onto the ground in the distance like a ragged cloth.
Even as he lay there, he still hadn't processed what happened.
Incredible.
Why did his strength suddenly increase so dramatically?
Why did it feel like he was fighting against himself when he struck?
That trendous power was exactly the sa as his own!
If he had used magecraft, that would be one thing, but how could he achieve this with pure technique alone?
He had devoured Dracula, the origin of the vampire concept—a suprely powerful vampire whose fa ranked among the top even among great heroes!
He had thought himself nearly invincible, so why couldn't he even defeat a human far weaker than him?
Am I really that incompetent?
For a mont, Roa began to question his entire existence.
"A prodigious genius!"
rlin looked at Eiji with utter amazent.
Although he couldn't understand it, precisely because he couldn't understand it, that made it all the more impressive!
"Vaporization might make you intangible and immune to force, but the mont you attack, you must materialize. That weakness is too obvious—completely countered by my sword technique. Do you have any other tricks?"
Eiji asked casually.
Harmony of Light and Dust had evolved into an instant parry sword technique, perfectly countering Dracula's vaporization ability.
After completing the evolution of Harmony of Light and Dust, overwhelming strength beca aningless against him. Unless the force far surpassed his own, any amount of power would be deflected back.
So far, strength had been overco, vaporization neutralized, and combat experience completely outclassed—nearly all of Roa's thods had been rendered useless.
If he had no other ans, Roa's defeat was certain.
"Elizabeth!"
Roa suddenly shouted.
"What do you want now?"
The figure of a red-haired girl abruptly appeared on the scene, her blood-red eyes glaring fiercely at Roa.
"Block him for !"
As Roa said this, he released a massive surge of magical energy from within his body.
"Ⅹ (Decam)!"
"Bzzz—!"
Suddenly, brilliant light erupted!
Golden magic circles appeared on the surrounding walls, with lightning sparks flashing all around.
"Crackle-bang!"
Countless thunderbolts sward forth!
Eiji's gaze sharpened as he swiftly dodged away.
"Bzzz—!"
But suddenly, magic circles erged across the entire open space, triggering a chain reaction as nurous red and blue magic circles simultaneously appeared in the distant passageways.
"Swish!"
In an instant, a spear lunged forward.
Elizabeth, her face twisted with ferocity, closed in on him.
Lightning struck her, but she paid it no mind—the vampire's powerful regenerative abilities automatically restored her body.
Buzz!
Just as Eiji was about to swing his blade, the air suddenly grew heavy. An imnse gravitational force abruptly pressed down on him, causing his movents to falter.
Roar!
Crackle!
Flas and ice surged toward him simultaneously from both sides.
Countless attacks sward in like a tidal wave, chaotic and overwhelming in the blink of an eye!
"These magic circles… I see. He hasn't been idling here all these days for nothing."
rlin quietly observed his surroundings.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning surged forth, striking him head-on.
But his body dissolved into a shower of petals, scattering everywhere. Then, his figure reappeared in another spot, only to be destroyed by flas before manifesting elsewhere once more.
"While digesting Dracula, he also managed to prepare the ritual in advance and lay so many magic circles as traps. What a cautious fellow… Nurology, huh? Slls a bit like sothing from the tenth century. Truly a genius."
rlin wandered through the sea of magic circles as if strolling through a garden, utterly detached and transcendent.
Out of pride, Roa likely hadn't intended to use them initially.
Now that he'd activated all the magic circles, he must have abandoned that aningless arrogance.
anwhile.
Clang!
Under the suppression of gravity, Eiji's movents beca extrely sluggish.
Yet even so, with a single swing of his blade, he sent Elizabeth flying.
Then, massive waves of flas, ice, and lightning surged at him from all directions, forcing him to dodge repeatedly.
"Annoying pests!"
He wasn't a vampire and lacked such powerful regenerative abilities. Techniques for deflecting force were useless against extre heat or cold—if hit, he would inevitably get injured.
He had to clear out these magic circles first!
With a thought, the Bling Blades in his hands blurred.
In the next mont, two pitch-black magic swords appeared in his grasp.
Roar!
A torrent of fierce flas erupted from the blades, repelling the surrounding fire and ice head-on, crashing directly into the magic circles.
Under the impact of the extre heat, the magic circles shattered instantly.
"The Magic Swords of Crozzo—so damn useful!"
Eiji nodded in satisfaction, then began swinging the magic swords wildly.
Blazing flas roared forth, swiftly obliterating the surrounding magic circles.
Soon, the abnormal gravity weighing him down vanished completely.
Hah!
Elizabeth charged at him once more.
Her spear thrust rcilessly toward Eiji's chest.
Eiji's eyes darkened for a fleeting mont.
Without hesitation, he retracted the magic sword in his right hand. As the blade flipped, it struck the shaft of the spear.
Sparks flew as the blade scraped along the spear, closing in rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, Eiji closed the distance, pressing into Elizabeth's guard.
Then.
Thud!
A swift thrust.
The sword in his left hand struck her heart with pinpoint accuracy.
Instant kill.
Guh…!
Elizabeth's face froze in stunned disbelief before she violently vomited a mouthful of blood.
Eiji yanked the magic sword out, pulling out a gush of splattering blood.
In a daze, Elizabeth slowly collapsed to the ground.
Blood flowed out, forming a shallow pool on the floor.
Eiji looked down at Elizabeth's corpse.
She had been controlled by Roa.
Due to the blood curse, she had no choice but to obey Roa's commands.
Therefore, Eiji did not resent her.
But there was no turning back in life—Elizabeth could never return to being normal. The only path left for them was mutual slaughter.
I saved her, and I was the one who ended her life.
"...Where is Roa?"
Eiji lifted his head, his cold gaze sweeping the surroundings.
"Over there."
rlin glanced at him and Elizabeth, his expression unreadable, then pointed toward the blood pool at the center of the clearing not far away.
The blood pool, originally prepared to usurp Arcueid's eternity, had now completely vanished.
A man of elegant deanor stood within the blood pool, traces of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth, wearing a satisfied smile.
