Chapter :-15 Irresistible Bloodthirst

ᒥ....I can't fight him, he is too strong....ᒧ

ᒥ....I must esc—....ᒧ

Even before she could finish her inner monologue, Henrik rushed towards her causing her to cast her strongest offensive spell in hopes of escaping from her current predicament.

The single-handed long-barrelled Flintlock that she held in her right hand and supported with the other hand was pointing towards Henrik.

"Mighty God Surya, lend me your strength to purge this evil from the face of the earth. In the name of his holy brilliance, I condemn your evil being!!!"

A massive magic circle appeared in from of her weapon, the flintlock burst into brilliant flames and formed a miniature sun which she launched towards the Original vampire.

Henrik stopped just before the miniature sun as the purple-stoned pendant around his neck started glowed while giving off an eerily feeling.

A barrier appeared before Henrik and covered his body, as soon as the spell came in contact with the barrier, it started growing in size about 5 times larger than it's initial size.

"Let's see if you can survive this....!"

The previous miniature sun turned gigantic and was launched towards Kiyohime with considerable speed. The enormous amount of heat released by it burnt everything in the surrounding.

Her eyes widened as she saw the gigantic sun heading towards her. Knowing full well that she couldn't dodge in time, she steeled her heart and activated the protection amulet that her father gave her from life-threatening situations.

A bright yellow sphere encased her body as the gigantic sun crashed into the protection amulet.

ᄓ....Boom....ᄓ

A loud explosion resounded throughout the forest as the area around Kiyohime was totally destroyed and burned by the gigantic sun.

Henrik had created a spell while he was still in England called [Retaliation counter]. He enchanted the pendants he created using this spell, the spell became independent of magic.

This spell required a soul for it to work, it can counter every single offensive or lethal magic excluding Force and sent the spell back at its caster with 5 times more power.

The pendant is the soul storage that provides the spell with a soul so that the spell can work.

The power of soul, sacrifice, and death was the 3-strongest types of magic energies present in this world.

During the 10 years in England, he had participated in many wars and slaughtered many individuals to harvest their souls inside the 6 pendants he created.

To this date, many souls have been collected inside the pendants to act as a substitute for the wearer in case they are attacked with lethal or offensive spells.

It had 2-modes, one of manual activation which Henrik just now performed while the other one was automatic activation which would activate on its own if Henrik's life is in danger.

Due to the various enchantments, enchanted spells, inscriptions, channeling talisman and barriers cast upon the pendant. It became an extremely important thing for Henrik.

Only his family could have these pendants as it represented his love and devotion towards his family. Some may call him paranoid for overdoing the pendant but he would not take any chances, not this time.

"*Cough*...*Cough*..."

Kiyohime was barely standing, all of her mana was used up in her last attack only for it to rebound on her. She even used the protection amulet her father gave her. She was dead tired and exhausted yet she refused to give up.

Even with her shaking legs, she held on. She wasn't injured but was tired. She would still fight till the very end even if she was in a hopeless situation.

The explosion caused a dust cloud to cover her sight, preventing her from seeing anything in front of her other than ash and flames.

"*Chiii...*..."

"[Force Lightning]...."

Black colored lightning tore through the dust cloud and strikes Kiyohime causing her to shriek in pain and agony.

"Arggghhhhh.....!!!"

The sharp lightning slashed her body causing fresh cuts to appear over her skin, blood flowed out of her stomach, arms, and cheek.

Force lightning was an offensive technique that involved the discharge of electrical energy from the practitioner's hands and was capable of inflicting severe pain on the target of this attack as well as possible disfigurement.

While Henrik could also use it's a variant called the [Dark Aura], it would prove to be too much for her to handle so he refrained from doing so.

Kiyohime fell on her knees while taking deep breaths to calm down her paining body. She struggled to look at Henrik who was slowly but surely walking towards her.

ᒥ....Looks like this is the end huh....ᒧ

ᒥ....I will be joining you shortly father....ᒧ

"Well, you sure are strong-wil—..."

Henrik paused mid-sentence, the air was diffused with the smell of blood. While these situations were something that he faced many times before, something was different this time around.

The smell of each human is different, and certain humans smell more appetizing is usual to vampires. The more appealing any human's scent and taste are to a vampire, the more difficult it will be for that vampire to leave the human alive.

Infrequently, a specific human will smell nearly irresistible to a specific vampire. "Singers" are individual phenomena; a person whose blood sings for one specific vampire will not have the same effect on all vampires, though they may still find the human mouthwatering.

While there are some humans whose scents are more appealing to vampires in general, that appeal does not reach the level of a singer.

Singers are considered by most vampires to be a great find, the drinking of whose blood is an experience to be savored. As an Original vampire who was still learning to control his thirst, Henrik's mind went blank.

His eyes, blood-shot sclera with protruding veins around the eyes, as well as elongated fangs were enough indication that Henrik could no longer control himself from drinking Kiyohime's blood.

Kiyohime couldn't see the changes in Henrik's face due to the fact that a hood covered his head.

Henrik blurred near her and held her neck in a vice-grip. Kiyohime grabbed his cold hand and struggled with all her might.

Both of them blurred as Henrik pinned Kiyohime on a tree trunk. Due to the high-speed dash, his hood fell backward revealing his handsome face with veins bulging within his black-sclera eyes.

Henrik let go of her neck and grabbed her chin before turning her head in the left direction so that more of her white neck would be exposed to him.

He bit her neck with his elongated teeth and starting drinking her blood. He let go of her chin and grabbed both of her arms before raising them up and holding them within his left-hand palm, his right hand grabbed her by the waist and pulled her body towards him own.

Kiyohime was totally immobilized by Henrik as he continued to drink her blood.
