A Monster

As the smoke and flames receded, their widened eyes were fixed on the figure of the vampire. 

He stood unscathed, the fiery inferno that had enveloped him leaving not a single mark on his skin. His piercing crimson eyes seemed to bore into the very souls of those who dared look upon him.

Elder Roku, visibly shaken, whispered in a tone laced with fear, "What kind of a monster is he..." 

His words echoed the collective dread that gripped the hearts of all present. 

Even a peak Soul Devourer vampire would have flinched upon taking on so many explosive attacks head-on without even bothering to shield themselves. Not even a wisp of mana was used to shield himself, and yet his body remained unscathed!

Tarok stood frozen, his eyes trembling with a mix of disbelief and dawning horror.
