626 Futile resistance

“You pests. ” Vlad angrily said.

Vlad grabbed Wolfie by the back of its neck and threw it far away.

Vlad swung his hand enough to become a blur. Even if there was a lot of distance between the egg and Freerie, all sixteen butterflies were thrown all over the place by the gust of wind.

The two eggs, however, remained on Vincent’s body. The gust of wind Vlad created didn’t cause them to move the slightest.

The shining green particles stopped moving as if time had frozen. One green shining particle as large as Kazumi began to move. It quickly went to the throne.

The moment it sat on the throne, all the tiny green particles started to move in four directions.

Like a vacuum, Wolfie, Freerie, and Lilith’s soul egg absorbed about ten percent of all the particles lighting the Soul Domain. The other seventy percent were absorbed by the large green particle sitting on the throne.

Kazumi and Vlad didn’t have time to think about what was happening. The large green particle on the throne took the shape of a human made of green light.

Kazumi pondered if the humanoid made out of green light was created by the mutated part of Vincent’s soul, the part forcing Vincent to lose his anger control.

.....

On the other hand, Vlad perceived the humanoid made out of green light as an enemy he had to kill. Vlad could feel sorrow, guilt, rage, hunger, and doubt coming from the being in front of his eyes.

The figure of light opened his eyes. They shone bright white. His finger tapped on the throne, and a menacing smile formed on his face. His leg was raised and placed on the other, showing arrogance.

“Really? That thing has just formed, and it is already overconfident in beating me.”

*Sigh* “I showed mercy and gave you a quick death, but it appears I will have to show mercy to the tainted ones you manipulated and kill them swiftly. My traitorous daughter will understand after I feed her enough blood to remove all of the tainted blood you gave her.”

The figure of light appeared to understand Vlad’s words. Or at least some of them. He moved his gaze onto the shining Wolfie, Freerie, and Lilith’s soul egg lying on the ground.

The figure of light stopped looking overconfident. He sat on the throne normally before covering his face with his hands.

“I will devour all those in front of me!”

“No! I killed my parents because of what I desired...”

“Desired? I desire to devour their entire essence.”

“How bad of a son I am! I detest myself...”

“Detest? I detest those who are not a part of me, HAHAHA.”

“But I do not detest Keven, aunt Trisha, and grandma Tessy...”

“Not? I will kill and devour...”

“Please... I don’t want to see anyone I care for die...”

The figure of light spoke with an eerie raspy voice, yet it spoke in two tones. One was overly aggressive while giving the impression of a rabid animal, while the other tone felt humane. It was a tone full of regret and no confidence.

*Slam!* The figure of light slammed his foot on the emerald crystals under him. He moved his hands away, and an eerie zigzagged grin shining with white light was revealed.

“I desire death! I desire to devour!” The figure of light said with the aggressive persona.

His gaze landed upon Vlad. A wave of deep malice engulfed the Soul Domain before causing a quake.

*Tsk* Vlad frowned and used his domination intent to counter the figure of light’s intent.

The two waves of intent clashed against each other, causing a ripple across the expanse void. The clash of intent ended up in a draw and the two intents canceled each other’s effects.

The result shocked Vlad. He discovered his domination intent was on par with the malice the figure of light emitted.

Vlad frowned. He didn’t look happy to see a monstrous being able to contend with a vampire that had lived for more than five centuries.

Vlad wanted to end Vincent promptly in this place before the world suffered disastrous consequences as it suffered from the first and second heroes.

However, Vlad suddenly felt weaker than before. His body felt heavier than before. Heavier than his flesh and bone body. Vlad felt as if he was suffering from a gravitational pull.

Vlad looked at Vincent’s body and the two soul eggs on his stomach. The eggs didn’t dig deeper into Vincent’s stomach from the added weight.

*Tsk* “I have to believe the words of that woman’s voice for now. The green monster of light is connected with this soul place, and it probably has no restraints, unlike me.”

Vlad complained after he became certain his powerful body and willpower were suffering from the pressure of the figure of light.

The figure of light stood up. His eyes change shape as if he is furious at Vlad. His arm was raised and pointed at Vlad.

“You!” The figure of light angrily said before his head twitched and, like a broken record player, repeated loudly, “KILL! KILL! KILL!”

The furious figure of light began walking forward. The remaining emerald crystals bent under his foot as he walked on them. It showed they had accepted the figure of light and didn’t try to harm him, unlike Vlad.

*Tsk* “I can feel how twisted that being is. It is now completely consumed by rage. I can’t feel any more emotions now.”

*Crack* Vlad cracked his neck. He clenched his left fist, normally used to parry attacks, and extended his right hand’s fingers like a blade to slash with.

*Step, ~swish~* Even if Vlad was feeling his body heavier than usual, his second step caused his body to become a blur.

Vlad shoved his blade hand inside the figure of light’s chest the moment his body appeared in front of the figure of light.

“Heh.” Vlad revealed a smirk. The figure of light couldn’t react to his speed, and it was now impaled by his hand.

However, the figure of light widened his mouth and grinned viciously with his zigzag serrated mouth. The figure of light didn’t express any emotions of pain. Instead, it copied what Vlad expressed.

“What is with this thing? Is it not furious anymore?” Vlad questioned before he felt pain in his chest.

Vlad jumped back to make some distance between the two of them. He lowered his head and touched his chest.

“What the!?” Vlad exclaimed after his hand was covered in blood and the wound gave him pain. “Soul place? Can a soul bleed?”

Kazumi was equally bewildered by the sight of the blood. She didn’t know if Vlad was bleeding actual blood or life essence because he was a vampire, and his soul used blood as a catalyst to sustain itself.

Furthermore, this was the first time Kazumi saw a body formed by a soul taking damage inside the Soul Domain.

Kazumi pondered that if a soul doesn’t normally bleed, the figure of light was more dangerous than she could imagine. The figure of light could directly inflict damage on the soul it targets and potentially kill them without harming their flesh and bone body.

Vlad wanted confirmation whether the blood on his hand was real blood or not.

Vlad swiftly swung his arm and used Blood Bullets skill. The blood gathered and shot like bullets toward the figure of light.

The figure of light perceived the intention of Vlad’s attack and opened his serrated mouth wide. *Chomp!, crack, crack.* The blood bullets entered his mouth and were chewed.

Kazumi and Vlad couldn’t believe the figure of light could perceive the attack of a powerful and speedy person. Not only that but also to catch the projectiles. Lastly, the figure of light didn’t appear to have gotten injured.

The figure of light munched on the hard blood bullets while producing a sound similar to pebbles being crushed under heavy pressure.

*Tsk* “This proves I am bleeding after that thing with chaotic emotions caught me off guard.” Vlad said before he heard the figure of light gulping.

Vlad’s blood was devoured, and it caused a change in the figure of light’s current emotions.

“I see blood. I am a bad son. It was all my fault...”

“No one wants me. Those who stay near me will leave me...”

“Everyone dies before me. I’m always alone...”

The figure of light said in a sorrowful yet remorseful tone.

The figure of light ignored Vlad and turned around. He went over to Wolfie. He lifted Wolfie and petted its fur.

Wolfie’s body crumbled, and a particle of light hovered on the figure of light’s hands. The figure of light opened his serrated mouth and ate Wolfie’s soul fragment.

Kazumi wanted to shout no, but she didn’t have enough mana to speak. On the other hand, Vlad remained weary of the figure of light’s actions. He wanted to wait and see if his wound could recover in this mysterious place.

The figure of light went over to Freerie. He repeated the same process. He looked in the direction of Lilith’s soul egg, but he stopped.

The figure of light turned his head toward Kazumi, Vincent’s body, and the two soul eggs. He began walking, but he soon stopped.

Vlad appeared in front of him and severed the figure of light’s head in an instant.

The head rolled on the ground for a few seconds before it exploded into hundreds of tiny particles. The particles rushed inside the figure of light’s body, and his head reformed in a matter of seconds.
