Count Rosameth

The soldiers began to quickly evacuate all the villagers to a safer location but it was clear they wouldn't be able to evacuate everyone before the enemy reaches them.

Soldiers stood at alert as they were all armed, their eyes focused on one direction, it was the direction of a forest, a wall of shields could be seen and within the gaps within this walls were Spears all pointed to that direction.

They chose to reduce civilians casualties by meeting the enemies head on before they reached the village itself, the people here were still inexperienced in wars, none of them here could be of any help.

The magic casters remained behind and they were ready to release a multitude of magic attacks when needed to.

And what came out was, a young man who looked as if he was in his late 20s arrived, his clothes was a mix of red and black, it was painted crimson red on his right while black on the left down to his trousers , his silver hair matched the color of his eyes, his facial features were well defined with no flaws on his pale skins

.

"Wonderful, it seems you humans are holding a welcome party for me, I would be a bad guest if I didn't enjoy the delicacies your offering"

All the Soldiers here seemed confused, they were ready to fight an army but only a single man came, one man, he didn't even have any aura.

"Is this a joke?"

"Does this guy even use magic"

"And why is he calling us humans"

The small army of soldiers began to murmur and confusion took over but we're all quickly silenced by a powerful dominating feminine voice.

"Shut up!, Don't take your eyes off him" Elena shouted.

After hearing this words, they quickly composed themselves and forgot about the previous topic, even if this person couldn't use Mana, he was still an enemy.

"Fire!" Elena shouted.

And small spheres of energy soon began forming at the tip of each spear and shot out as beam of burning light, red, blue, yellow, hundreds of beams of different colors all sped towards this man, the casters began adding their Mana reserves to the power of the beam making it even more terrifying.

"Finally I can get some easy prey" the man spoke

But his expression remained unchanging, his demeanor remained casual and his smile didn't waver instead it widened, to a degree which almost seemed impossible.

The array of Mana beams finally hit it target, and a bright blinding light swallowed the scene like a star from the heavens with the shockwaves of a mighty explosion spreading through the area , it even threatened to fling back the very soldiers that initiated the attack that caused it.

A cloud of smokes occupied the man last known location but they didn't care to check if he was dead, they kept on releasing an arrays of magnificent colorful powerful beams of Mana.

Some might get mesmerized by the beauty it displayed but this beams were out to destroy, their beauty only blinded the human eye from the massive energy this attacks possesed.

"I-is he dead" one soldiers asked.

And his curiosity didn't live long as the cloud of smokes was blow away by a powerful Gale of wind, soldiers were thrown in all directions like ragdolls from the power of this mighty tempest that descended upon them as if it were divine judgement from the heavens.

Even some villagers from afar who were still evacuating to a safe spot felt the vicious force of the wind.

None could escape it wrath, soldiers were flung to different directions, some where lucky to survive while others were turned into tomato paste when they slammed into any nearby building.

The formation they had made, all broken in seconds, the surviving soldiers, could only wonder what kind of monster this was, what kind of wind magic genius had they angered.

"Sorry I didn't know a flick of my fingers could do so much" Rosameth said with a chuckle

'Death, only death awaited them' This was the only outcome left but as they laid down pitying themselves, one woman stood up amongst them, her blade was drawn out pointing up to the heavens above.

"Get up, Soldiers of Yandor, this is no time to rest, stop pitying yourselves and get up, our duty isn't over, when all this is done don't expect to be let off easy after this, take care of the wounded and I will deal with him"

The soldiers which laid down on the ground couldn't only gulp after hearing this, Elena had just said she wouldn't let them off easy, and knowing her they all knew the hell that awaited them after this, and one thought came to all their minds.

'We forgot we had our own monster'

The intruder eyes traced over Elena figure, his eyes took in every small detail of her body and his attention was finally set on her eyes, his silver met her crimson eyes.

And for a moment this man felt fear, his very bones shook at the sight of her eyes, those beautiful red rubies were no more rather it felt as if he were looking nto two balls of fire.

"Interesting, I can feel my body shiver just by looking at you, this is the second time in my life I have ever felt like this and it all because of you humans....I hate it, I hate it, your inferior race dare cause I, Count Rosameth to shiver in fright, twice! I wanted to have fun with you guys but after commiting such a crime of disgracing this count, you deserve nothing but death" Count Rosameth said, his voice was hoarse and loud and his silver eyes locked onto Elena silhouettes.

But her face didn't seem to show any reaction, her eyes remained cold and devoid of emotion, Elena didn't care about who this man was, or his title, she didn't even care that he broke into her camp but there was only one thing she cared about, and that was completing orders.

Her hand took hold of the hilt of her katana with a firm grip, Rosameth felt a little more irritated after seeing this, it made him feel irrevalant, one lowly human didn't even care about his presence.

"I will make you beg" The Count did something that made everyone here flinch actually not everyone, except Elena, she really didn't seem to be surprised by his actions, the counts raised up his hand and his finger nails elongated to the size similar to a dagger.

He didn't make any form of attack rather he cut himself, the wound was extremely shallow and just a simple cut and as soon as the wound came, that was how fast it became non-existent, only a drop of blood had emerged out of it but the remaining soldiers didn't need to be told this was an attack, they were already running back to get as far away as they could.

"Die!"

The blood droplet floated in the air and revolving around Rosameth at tremendous speed, only a red blur could be seen spinning around the Count, that how fast this blood droplet was.

And with every revolution around Rosameth it got faster, making his hair flutter from the wind this drop of blood created just by rotating around him.

The drop of blood took another revolution around Rosameth but the moment it finished this revolution, the blood droplet was launched right towards Elena like a missile creating a sonic boom the moment it was released.

Elena eyes locked onto the incoming projectiles and with the swing of her Mana infused blade she cut it down at least that what she thought, the moment she was about to destroy this blood droplet, it split in two smaller parts making her katana hit nothing but air.

this blood droplet was already small but by splitting in two smaller parts, it became more difficult to track down, this two projectiles had tremendous speed and a small shape, it was the perfect advantage.

Elena eyes darted around the area looking for this red projectiles but anytime she came close to seeing it, it would just escape her line of sight.

"Where do you think your looking?"

Rosameth appeared right beside her, it looked similar to teleportation but this was a simple feat of speed, Elena eyes widened in shock, she had only been keeping an eye on his blood attacks that she completely forgot about the main enemy who was standing in front of her.

Rosameth didn't give her the leisure of recuperating, the moment he appeared beside her, he swing his sharp claws towards her neck, out of instincts, she parried his attack but that left the perfect opening in her defense.

The moment she defended herself, the two drops of blood splashed against her stomach, it was already to late to stop it, the blood began to give off a bright crimson glow and what followed was a Mighty explosion.

Even as it was in the distance, the powerful shockwaves had shattered every piece of glass nearby, cracks were visible all around the ground.

Everyone could see it, a small ball of fire travelling through the sky before deciding to fall to the earth beneath crashing into a building, it was Elena.

the explosion was so powerful that it had propelled her into the sky all the way to the village, Rosameth couldn't help himself but chuckle, a mere human tried to fight him.

"Now that am done with her, it time to take a snack".

Rosameth using his speed was already in front of the villages entrance and as he was about to take one step in to the village, he realized something.

He didn't have a foot to step in with, a brief moment of silence and confusion took over the scene, a second passed and Rosameth had finally processed what just happened.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" His screams of agony teared through the air creating a powerful sonic boom but a young lady stood in front of Rosameth, her red crimson eyes looked into his, no malice, no hatred, nothing.

This scene to Rosameth was the highest form of disrespect, she didn't even look at him as if he were a foe as if his very presence was invisible and meant nothing .

"I was ordered to let no enemy forces enter this village, so that what I will do, I won't I let you step one foot into this village" Elena said

Not far from them, on a rooftop a young man who looked to be in his 20s watched them, a smile crept on his face as he listened to the screams, an aroma of a wonderful otherworldly smell entered into his nostrils.

Adam had chosen to stay and watch the fight, no not because of experience, he wanted to learn new skills, he already had experience and skills of combat, he needed power to put them to use, so he decided to wait patiently for the moment to strike his Rosameth down.

But after seeing his display of power, Adam was planning to reconsider, call him a coward but who cares, cunning cowards get to live another day, if he were to fight, only death awaits him.

He would just reap the rewards by taking the final strike and collecting any rewards the system gives him.

"Why does he smell so different" Adam whispered.

"His a vampire" Una spoke, she sat down beside him as she also watched the ongoing battle.

"Vampire?, the bloodsucking creatures in fairy tales?, they exist!" Adam was confused but this was a world of magic why should he be surprised.

Rosameth stared at the woman with bloodshot eyes, a droplet of blood emerged out of his palm and like a fast speeding bullet, it was shot out with tremendous power, only a red blur could be seen in it place, this attack could even be called Blood Bullet from it looks, dodging would only leave and opening for Rosameth to use, so she decided to use another tactic.

She began releasing her Mana into the air around her, it was a waste of energy but she still needed to do it, she could feel her Mana circulate around the area, it felt like an extension of herself, she concentrated on it trying to feel the slightest impurities within her Mana of foreign origin.

Rosameth didn't leave her alone during all this, his feet actually regenerated, so it was already proven that he wasn't human unless this was some kind of special skill, he was already dashing towards her but her thought process was so fast that a second in real life felt like 10 minutes in her mind.

She could feel the slightest fluctuations in the air, nothing could escape her attention, her eyes opened wide with a determined light within them, she could feel something whizzing through the air at her left side and without even wasting any time in reaction, she launched an attack towards the blood bullet, it was a Mana infused sword slash, it cut right through this blood bullet turning into nothing but a red mist.

Elena grip tightened around her blade and she began swinging her blade forward cutting through the air but with every swing her Mana was released in the shape of a arc slicing through the air.

A colorful array of Mana infused slashes were scattered towards Rosameth, the attacks passed right through him but there was no blood, it seemed like he went intangible, it seemed like it but he actually evaded the attacks so fast that he made an afterimage in his position then he returned back to that same spot.

Boastful, Rosameth was taunting her but it did nothing, in battle one life was on the line constantly but this man was busy bragging about his speed.

After dodging the attacks, Rosameth raised his palm up in the direction of Elena and like a mad man with no regard for his well being, he released a pressurized beam of crimson blood.

Elena leapt several metres into the air dodging the massive beam but now she was defenseless in mid air, a devilish smile curled up on his face as he saw this, he licked his lips as if expecting to devour a meal.

' I have won' He thought

The red beam annihilated anything in it path, buildings after building was demolished by this fast moving mass of blood, anybody in it way would get shredded and broken by it immense force.

The power behind the recoil of this attacks propelled Rosameth back slamming him through a few buildings, his entire arm was broken and wounded by the attack, his bones were protruding out of his flesh but he didn't seem worried.

His other functioning arm pointed towards Elena, she still remained in mid air waiting for the gravity of the earth beneath her to pull her down, Rosameth expected her to look at him in fear as he ended her life but her expression remained the same, how could she be so calm.

He was ready to fire the blood bean but nothing came out, actually he didn't even have a hand to shoot the beam, shock and surprise was the only thing he felt, it was more than the pain of losing his arm.

A Mana infused slashes had cut through his arm, it turned his arm into mince meat, he didn't have any arms, he soon felt himself falling down, multitude Mana infused slashes had shredded his legs but Rosameth didn't feel pain but confusion at this point, how was he losing?, wasn't he just about to win.

Elena Mana infused attacks that Rosameth dodged earlier had been active, she could control them freely, she wasn't just some ordinary soldiers, her Mana control was extraordinary and Rosameth just experienced it first hand.

*Thud*

Elena landed on the earth softly, her eyes stared at Rosameth limbless figure, there was no pride or happiness within her eyes, she didn't see this as an accomplishment, just her following orders.

Rosameth couldn't take it, he wouldn't let his pride be stepped on or disgraced any further.

"Celebrate, rejoice, feel prideful you damn human, do you know who I am, I am the great Count Rosameth, do you know how great it is of a honor to be the one to slay me, speak up and say how happy you are that you managed to do such a wonderful achievement, SPEAK UP and stop acting as if my life means nothing!"

Elena didn't reply, she raised up her katana and with a mighty swing, the count neck was severed but that not what killed him, his brain was crushed by the feet of a young youth

"I hope you aren't mad that I stole your kill"

She ignored him, Elena walked away without even looking at him, Adam eyes looked at her disappearing back and only one thought entered his mind.

"That woman...reeks of despair"
