Chapter 15

"Before I kill you, mind telling me. Why are you here….. Little brother?" The clock figure inquired with his emotionless voice as he states his relationship with Conner, standing behind him.

"I can ask the same….. elder brother, your headquarters was in Europe if I remember the last time." Conner responds with another question while he looks at the barrier created by his brother which was not made of curse energy but magic.

'He chanted the same incantation but he can't use curse energy as he was born from another mother still he perhaps learned how to recreate it with magic how convenient.' Conner calculated, profoundly observing the barrier fabricated by his brother because its condition was unknown.

As every barrier can have its own condition if the user wants.

"Seems like I have to use force then." He said and engaged into combat as he quickly turned around unsheathing his blade.

In response Conner did the same but he didn't have weapons on him as he himself is one. Pouring a minuscule amount of Curse energy into one of his tattoos hidden under his cloth, behind his back, his outfit changes instantly into a more like rouge and assassins like.

Slightly long Tailcoat Jacket, black shirt, waistcoat, skinny tight suit trousers and ankle boot with color scheme of red and black making him look more ferocious and stealthy than his previous outfit.

And evaded the lethal blade utilizing his sheer agility and experience.

"As an enchanter I have to acknowledge your armor, perhaps you can gift such a piece of exotic art to your elder brother right?" He said attempting to start a small talk as he clearly assessed the Conner suit which was indeed a piece of art and can even be compared to top notche ancient relics made by magic or curse energy.

"...." Conner did not comment as his outfit was custom made by one of his allies who was blessed with talent hence was not made by himself.

The Suit was engraved with magical runes of different races, curse energy and hundreds of features, hence why it was a masterpiece and only a very handful of people can recognize it and praise it.

"....." Grasping the situation that talking won't work and is meaningless he held his blade, then lunged at his younger brother conner and swung his weapon without holding back.

Facing him without any sign of fear Conner moves ahead and blocks the strike with his forearm as his suit/outfit was enchanted with magic rune's to go toe to toe with sharp blade, blunt weapons or range weapons.

From the impact, sparks were generated and both of them applied pressure to make the other move back. Both took another step closer in an attempt to add more power behind but it was still a stalemate.

"Spill the bean brother, I have no time to play these childish games with you." Conner taunts, getting fed up from his brother's unproductive silence.

'Son of bitch…. Your arrogance of superiority will kill you one day.' He cursed in mind the feeling aggregated from his brother's words hitting his nerves again and again.

They withdrew several steps back to prepare for more ruthless and fatal attacks as normal combat was not his forte on the other hand Conner was a legend.

"....." He inflicted a deep and deliberate gash upon his own palm, allowing the rich crimson flow of his life force to generously drench his blade.

With an unyielding resolve, he executed a masterful sequence of three swift, consecutive strikes from a formidable distance, causing his blade to manifest sweeping, expansive crescent arcs that cleaved through the air with awe-inspiring power.

Conner stayed still and didn't even bother to move an inch knowing the outcome and continued observing his elder brother who began to move ten times his previous pace.

"To a normal person these ancient Vampire techniques which enhance one's speed make you look blur, however, next to a vampire like me it does make any difference." Conner stated.

As his brother's clock was removed and Conner saw his vampire-like features, red eyes, sharp teeth and white hair.

Then he and his brother forget that they share the same father hence this vampire trait is common but Conner didn't activate his vampire form yet.

Both of their fathers were noble vampires, top 1% of hierarchy or in other words pure blooded vampires who are thousand times stronger and completely different then half blood etc.

In a span of a second he appears behind Conner who was about to hit but his precious attack and then strike again this time with a magic spell which can only be used by Vampire.

*BOOOOOM

----Meanwhile in party---

"Hey, girl have you seen, Conner, I have many guests who would like to meet him?" Charles asks Emma, wanda, Jean everyone who were with Conner as he can't find him in the party.

"No, he went for a leak and it's been half an hour….." Wanda responded explaining Conner's absence.

*Quake

"What was that Charles?" Eric inquired from a distance as music stopped as the build began to shake on its own making everyone worried and cautious.

"I think it's related to Conner. Everyone searching for him now." Charles demanded.

"Everyone down now!" Eric yelled out loud getting everyone's attention and they panicked as they protected themself from the explosion.

------Back to fight----------

"Not bad brother but nothing will work against me." COnner stated calmly as the dust started to settle down, conner can be seen without an inch of harm.

As his words came out true nothing happened to him even he didn't move an inch showcasing his absolute powers against his brother who stood with a disbelief expression on his face.

"My Blood art failed me how?"

"Doesn't matter if your game ends now as well as your life."

Conner finished speaking and he pierced his brother's chest as harshly and cruelly as possible to deliver as much pain he could endure.

Conner even penetrated his heart as his hand came out from mother side and tried to take his hand off from his inside but was unable to do so as his brother tightly grabbed his ankle not letting it go.

"You came unprepared brother, learn from your mistakes." Conner advised as the wound he infeltect is enough to kill humans but being like them can die that easily.

"That hurt like hell." He commented in agony as pain began to spread in his whole body.
