30. A Ranked Vampire (2).

"You guys are f**king HEROES, at least act like one!" I roared which caused fear for some and calmed some.

"And, what use will that make?" The vampire asked in a hoarse tone.

'I definitely wanted a strong opponent but not in this situation!'

"Oi! Let's fight."

"Hahahaha, what makes you think you are worth it?" He asked.

"Hahaha. Ha, I'm the one who thought you were worth something, sorry, if you misunderstood."

"..."

"Hmm? Oh! You scared?" I snickered.

".... Blame your arrogance."

A dust devil of blood formed in front of me and 'fake' manifested but much with paler complexion and wore a vintage butler type suit but a bit stylish version of it. It looked good to me.

"Good suit."

".... You have good taste human." He said with a slight bashful and proud face.

"I know."

"Hahaha." He laughed.

"Hahahaha." I laughed too.

'Hmm? What with this friendly atmosphere?'

"Ahem. Anyway." I grinned. 'my grin must have spread from ear to ear.'

"Let's fight."

BOOM

I activated 'Frost' because his power 'blood' was a liquid and I can damage him if I freeze it. I punched his stomach with full strength he pierced my first with his index finger.

SPLURT

"Hahahaha." I remembered who was one who started a fight with a jab and I did the same to him too.

'They say 'what goes around comes around' it must be true.'

I pulled out my arm and jumped back to distance myself. His index finger froze.

"You have something interesting, human." He said while looking at his finger.

"Thank you. Now, let's get a bit serious, shall we?"

"..." he smirked.

"I'll take that as a yes."

I froze the wound, took a step ahead and disappeared from the spot.

BOOM

BAM

BOOM (6x)

We only had 7 exchanges at full strength, blood trickled down my mouth which I licked and gulped back down while he dusted off his suit's left elbow.

"What rank are you?" I asked as I launched myself at him.

BOOM (4x)

He was faster than me only by a bit, he seemed to be going easy on me, but I wasn't complaining because I knew that he was too strong for me at my current state. It felt like he could defeat me any second he wants but I was not simply fighting him either, some of his insides must be frozen.

Though he is a undead, being cold and being frozen are different, but he wouldn't feel much difference until it's too late.

It's a battle of attrition, if he decides to play around he'll regret it but I could use it to my full advantage, though the damage taken is more than the damage I have done.

"... That's a secret." He said with a kind smile.

"Creepy basta*d."

He punched at me, his moments were stiff. He opened his eyes wide as he noticed what was actually happening, I noticed his surprised expression and took full advantage of his stiff moments.

"25 percent!" I mumbled out.

COUGH

SPLAT

I coughed out a black pile of tar, looking thing(?). Pain, excruciating pain swept through my whole body, I clenched my teeth and took a step forward, the pain doubled. My body joints felt like they were all old and rusty, every single step I took would increased the amount of pain I was feeling but I couldn't stop now.

I held out my left palm facing towards the vampire who was looking at me with a dumbfounded face. I needed only one chance to finish him, I activated the veins I copied from wolf of the sector one. Cold mana cruised through the veins which increased the amount of pain by a bit.

I appeared in front of the Vampire leaving behind an after image of me and jabbed with my palm facing at him and caught his head.

"I don't know, what it is and how strong it is but this will most likely be the last attack." I said as I glared at him through the gaps of my fingers while he was doing same. I emptied all my mana into the new 'iron man shit' I got on my left palm and released it.

A strong light blue beam appeared which was freezing everything in range, the vampire barely dodged his head but his right ear, right shoulder and half of his right arm was completely frozen. And, I was barely holding on to my consciousness.

'F**k, I missed him and that to, by a lot!'

"... Tsk." The vampire clicked his tongue and reached for something in his blazer.

He took out an artifact which was overloaded with mana and was on the verge of exploding.

'F**k, if it explodes half of the academy will be blown away, what the fuck is with that artifact?'

"Arg." I moved my right hand and weakly punched his right shoulder.

"Release!" I yelled very weakly.

BOOM

The Vampires other shoulder exploded and the remains of his arm fell down, I had frozen some of body parts while fighting him which help in blowing almost half of his body. A giant hole formed on him while half of his neck and the left side of his upper body was blown away but he was alive and his eyes were still very calm.

The artifact fell on the ground, cracked a bit and the vampire flopped and turned into a puddle of blood before disappearing.

I fell face first on ground and noticed two familiar presence.

"Crazy basta*d, always arriving at the last." I mumbled and lost consciousness.
