Chapter 672 Vlad Vs Zephyr
Back in Alina, Arad was in the forest cutting trees.
CRACK! One swing of his axe after another, he ripped the trees apart and dropped them to the ground.
Meryem walked toward the trees and lifted them on her shoulder, carrying two at a time and dropping them behind his house where Merida cut them to pieces.
"I think ten is enough," Meryem looked at Arad, waving her hand to signal him to stop cutting. "You think so?" He replied, having already cut two more trees.
"Yeah, this should be enough for more than a few weeks," She smiled, "Bring those two to be cut as well," She took an axe that was sitting beside the fence and went to help Merida chop the trees.
Arad picked up the two extra trees he cut and followed them, "Meryem, you've been getting stronger, didn't you?"
"Nina trained me for a while." She looked back at him as he put the trees down, "As a monster, I'm a power type." She flexed her arm, the muscles on her expanding as her veils bulged.
"I know that," Arad looked at her, "I said that you've been getting stronger faster than normal,"
"That should be since you're staying inside the dungeon for too long and evolving there," She looked at the ground, "Just as a dragon's existence affects nature around them, your existence in the dungeon is affecting us, pushing us toward becoming something else."
As they talked, Arad blinked, looking at the clouds, "This feeling,"
BAM! The clouds parted as a massive golden dragon showed up, crashing in the middle of the forest.
Arad immediately teleported to the crash site, "Kin! What's happened?" Shouted as he stared at her. Just getting close he could see that she was missing a large part of her tail, hind legs, and her body riddle with holes. How she made it here was beyond his understanding.
"Vlad...the capital..." She mumbled and fell silent.
The veins on Arad's neck and arms bulged. He rapidly turned, about to blast toward the capital, but he suddenly saw a green light flash from his house, flying out faster than he could see.
He took a deep breath, shifting into his draconic form and carrying Kin, "Let's get you help first," He growled.

Vlad sat on the highest tower of the capital's royal castle, staring into the horizon as screams echoed through the air. "What a nice song, isn't it?" He giggled, standing up and pointing his swords forward, "You're coming, aren't you?"
Zephyr flew as fast as she could toward the capital, dragging a whole tempest behind her as her magic swelled up, growing larger with each passing second.
A green crown of magic flashed above her head as she reached the capital, flying straight toward Vlad. It only took her a few minutes to get to the capital.
Vlad pointed his sword forward, "Hello," He smiled, waiting for Zephyr to run into his blade on her own.
SWOSH! Zephyr didn't care about his sword. Being in her small fairy form, she flew around the blade, punching into the sea with a blast, cracking the tower.
SPLAT! Flad crashed into the water, standing on its surface and rubbing his nose, "What disrespect. I'm older than you, do you know that?" He growled, staring forward as she landed ahead of him on the water's surface, floating with veins on her neck and forehead.
"I have no respect for those who don't respect the world," Zephyr growled, "It's not your toy to play with."
"Nop," Vlad smiled, "The world is my plaything. It always was. And would always be," He lifted one of his swords, setting the edge horizontally, "Thy life, thy death,"
CLANG! He smacked it with the second sword horizontally, "By blood, we live, and by death, we unlive," The swords crackled, sending a spark of light, "Amen,"
"Akame's rogue priest," Zephyr stared at him, "To think you still hold her teaching even after losing your mind. To think that even vampires grow senile, not for physical deterioration, but due to their soul crumbling with time,"
BAM! Zephyr pointed a finger at him, firing a bolt of compressed wind, piercing a hole in his forehead.
Vlad recoiled back, but a smile crossed his face, as he pointed his sword toward Zephyr, fiering a compressed arrow of blood.
CLANG! The arrow bounced off a wind barrier that protected Zephyr, and she fired a second shot at him, piercing his face.
Vlad didn't move, taking the hit and firing a second blood arrow, then another one and another one until the two were sending hundreds of shots at each other each second. contemporary romance
Zephyr stared at Vlad's body, standing as a mess of blood and minced meat, yet he didn't fall, still lifting his swords and pointing at her.
"I guess, physical damage can't take you down," She sighed, seeing him fully regenerate, "With you only having a humanoid body. It would take centuries of continuous killing to make you run off blood,"
Vlad smiled, "Sadly, it's true. Holy magic can kill me as well, but it'll only take a few decades to take me down,"
"Yeah," Zephyr smiled, "How about I spread your body across the world," A massive tornado exploded from her body as she lifted Vlad into the sky. "Try to regenerate from this."
Across the whole world, drops of blood rained from the sky, and Arad looked at the ground, "Is this Zephyr's doing?"
Zephyr landed in the city streets, "Let's see if that worked," She looked around, seeing tens of people slaughtered, and impaled on spikes. "He already massacred the capital," She sighed.
Thud! A vampire landed ahead of her, and she looked at him, "If Vlad couldn't beat me, what do you think you can achieve?" She smiled.
"Don't know, was thinking of telling you it's quite painful to be spread across the world like that," The vampire's body twisted and shifted into Vlad.
"All of the vampires in the world are my vessels," He giggled, "I can just regenerate from one of them. Killing me like this is impossible,"
"I see," She sighed, clenching her fist.
"And I was hoping to end you quickly,"
Vlad lifted his hands, "My turn," He disappeared, swinging a fist at Zephyr's face.
She barely dodged. ^He's fast. With his extreme control over blood, he can use it to enchant his speed and defenses.^ She swung a kick at Vlad's guts, trying to kick him back to the sea.
^We shouldn't fight here. There might be some survivors.^
Thud! Vlad caught her foot without budging, "Nice toes. Mind if I lick them?" He smiled.
Zephyr could see his long ears. ^He was an elf before becoming a vampire.^
"If you'll die, I'll let you." She replied. n ovel.com
Vlad sighed, "Sadly I won't die from that, so no toes for me,"
"The get the hell out to the sea!" Zephyr screamed. At the time of their conversation, she scanned the surrounding area for survivors and found that there was only one little girl buried beneath the rubble behind her.
From Zephyr's foot, a blast of air exploded and sent Vlad flying all the way toward the sea.
Zephyr turned around and waved her hand, blasting the rubble away, and picked the little girl with a gust of wind, "Go!" She sent her flying into the air before going to fight Vlad.
As Zephyr reached the sea, a massive slash of blood flew toward her faster than she could dodge. ^He's attacking back,^ The slash flew straight through her body, doing no damage as it crashed into the capital's port, cutting it in half.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Vlad approached her, walking on water and holding his two swords pointing down. With a grin on his face, he giggled, "You aren't the only one around,"
Zephyr turned around, seeing tens of people ripped apart where the slash landed.
"Can you beat me and keep casualties to a minimum? I doubt that." He clanged his blades again. "You won't win like this," He swung, sending another slash toward her.
Zephyr waved her hand, deflecting the slash toward the sky with a burst of air. As she did that, Vlad already reached her, swinging the sword toward her neck.
"Let's dance, queen of tempest," He shouted.
Zephyr shrunk her body to dodge the strike and touched Vlad's chest, "Wind Cutter." Thousands of compressed wind blades gushed from her hand, dicing him into tiny cubes, flung into the sea by a blast of wind.
The cubes fell into the sea, tainting it red.
SPLAT! Vlad's hand emerged from the red sea, grabbing onto the water's surface as he climbed up, already healed. "Get serious if you want to kill me,"
Zephyr sighed, "You asked for it," She looked back at the city, "Sorry,"
From her body, a massive tornado emerged as her winds changed color, shifting from green to black and golden.
She lifted her hands, putting them together, [Wind Expansion]
