Final clash with Orion

Vlad did not lose the opening. His body grew stronger as he channeled his rage and wounds into wrathful power. Then, he burst forward, instantly reducing the distance between them and the angel.

Orion immediately shifted her focus from the medallion into her energy pool, her left hand charging a mantle of energy around her figure, enhancing her defense as she hastily pulled back, but she was too slow.

Vlad had managed to reach her, and his blades moved with monstrous power and speed.

"AHHHH!" Orion shouted in pain as she saw in horror how everything below her right elbow was gone! Despite the horrible pain, she continued dashing away, leaving a trail of blood in her path.

Vlad only smiled as he saw the blood from the angel. While he wanted to chase after her and deliver the final blow, something else interested him even more. Without hesitation, he grabbed the severed arm and took the medallion that Orion used to control the High Champion Fire Elemental.
