"Shinya, we have no chance of winning against him right now. Run back!"
Luke performed a flourish with his magic sword. He hadn't fought for quite a while, and since Hiiragi Shinya had conveniently delivered himself to his doorstep, he intended to enjoy himself thoroughly.
Luke put on a provocative expression.
"Come, I'll let you have one hand."
Hiiragi Shinya glared at him with a ferocious expression, as if he would rush forward at any second to fight Luke to the death regardless of the cost.
Hiiragi Shinya swung out a horizontal arc of sword qi. Luke simply jumped up on the spot, expecting Shinya to seize the moment while he was in the air and difficult to dodge to launch an attack. Instead, he saw Shinya turn around without hesitation, his gaze filled with a resolve more resolute than any Luke had ever seen in his life.
By the time Luke landed, Hiiragi Shinya had already rounded a corner. Luke's lips twitched.
"You mother..."
Luke hurriedly gave chase. He couldn't let Guren escape. Even if he was running in the opposite direction of the exit, it was still a headache.
If the disguise ability provided by Guren hadn't been on cooldown, it would be very difficult to find him if he just hid among the Lower-ranking Vampires.
Hiiragi Shinya ignored the strain on his body as byakkomaru and Guren buffed him simultaneously. His speed reached the fastest it had ever been in his life, turning at every fork in the road he saw, regardless of where he was running.
Furthermore, he transformed back into Urd's appearance.
"Damn it, isn't there a single Vampire nearby? Since when did Sanguinem's security become so lax?"
Hiiragi Shinya turned another corner. Ahead was a half-open gate. In Shinya's memory, this led to the Courtyard where the Vampires' vehicles were parked.
There's a chance! As long as he got on a Helicopter and flew directly out from the Courtyard, he could escape. Luke surely couldn't fly! Not to mention, even if Luke also took a Helicopter to chase him, Shinya could use a sudden stop to toy with Luke, who only knew how to drive at full speed, like a dog!
Hiiragi Shinya directly used byakkomaru to blast the door open and ran inside. However, he soon showed a look of panic and regret, hurriedly turning back to the previous corner and choosing another path.
The commotion from the door being blasted open was too loud, and all the Vampires inside turned to look.
If it were just some non-progenitor Vampires, Hiiragi Shinya wouldn't have cared much.
The key was that among these Vampires was Urd, who was just preparing to head to Shibuya to check on the situation.
Urd suddenly saw "Urd" and didn't react for a moment. By the time he regained his senses, Hiiragi Shinya had already turned and run, so he hurriedly chased after him.
Luke lost his target after a few corners and looked furious, but then he suddenly heard a loud bang.
"This way is... the Courtyard! Crap!"
Luke turned the corner and saw the figure of the sprinting "Urd" emerging from the direction of the Courtyard and turning right. Only his back was visible, and Luke decisively gave chase.
However, as he passed the corner where "Urd" had just emerged, a sword light flew toward him. In his haste, Luke leaned backward.
Luke's waist was almost touching the ground as he dodged the strike.
"Hmm? Ninth Progenitor Luke, what are you doing here?"
Urd sheathed his sword and asked with a frown.
He had just chased "Urd" to the corner when a figure crashed toward him, and he instinctively drew his sword and slashed.
Luke stood up, his hand tightening around the hilt of his magic sword, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Which bastard wants to die?
When he saw clearly that it was Urd, he froze for a moment, then quickly understood why Hiiragi Shinya had run out from this direction. After all that, he had run into the original.
"No time to explain, get in the car!"
After saying that, Luke chased after the direction Hiiragi Shinya had fled.
Urd narrowed his eyes. Luke's gaze just now made him feel very uncomfortable. It wasn't fear, but rather a sense of being threatened.
Now was clearly not the time to dwell on such things; catching the guy wearing his face was the priority.
But Luke told him to get in the car—where was the car? Besides, a car wasn't even as fast as his own running speed.
If Luke knew Urd's thoughts, he would surely say this guy had no sense of humor... Shibuya.
Lest Karr clutched his arm as he stood up from the ruins, limping over to the fallen Guren and giving him a light kick with his foot.
"Hey, are you dead or not?"
Guren was currently missing a large chunk of flesh from his waist, and his internal organs were clearly visible. The most troublesome part was that the wound showed no sign of healing.
Beside him lay a slender arm, looking like a woman's hand.
"Ha..."
Guren spat out a large mouthful of blood, laughing as he panted heavily.
"Hahaha, I actually didn't die? I really am strong."
Lest Karr looked around again. The buildings that had already gone through a major battle and hadn't been repaired yet were caught in their fight just now and had completely turned into ruins.
On these ruins lay some Vampires, almost none of whom were intact—they were either missing heads or half of their bodies.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this!"
But immediately after, Lest Karr breathed a sigh of relief because, not far away, his sword was impaled through that monster, pinning it to the ground.
The monster was now at death's door, its entire body emitting a terrifying Demonic Aura.
Lest Karr walked up to the monster and kicked it in the face.
"Bastard!"
Lest Karr vented his anger on the monster, his injuries having mostly recovered.
At this moment, another group of Vampires arrived.
"Lord Lest Karr! Lord Guren!"
Lest Karr nodded and gave orders to these Vampires.
"Take Guren back to Sanguinem to purge the Demonic Aura. There is Demonic Aura at his wound preventing it from healing. If we don't hurry, he'll bleed to death."
"Yes!"
Guren was carried away by several Vampires. The remaining Vampires looked at the monster with lingering fear.
To be able to heavily injure Lord Guren and cause Lord Lest Karr some internal injuries, this monster was simply absurd!
"Lord Lest Karr, how should we deal with this monster?"
Lest Karr examined the monster closely and found that it was a ghost, yet it was different.
She was not attached to a weapon and had a physical body; she even had blood.
"Able to increase strength by eating Vampires... is this another new monster developed by humans? Why didn't Krul mention this kind of monster?"
During the fight earlier, he and Guren had barely managed to suppress this thing. As a result, seeing that she couldn't win, the monster attacked the Vampire fodder who were helping on the side.
Those Vampires were no match for the monster and directly became its food.
Not only did the monster's injuries heal, but its strength also increased. Lest Karr hurriedly ordered the other Vampires not to step forward anymore. After a stalemate, a chunk of flesh was bitten off Guren's waist.
Fortunately, Guren was crazy enough to use a life-risking fighting style to hack off one of the monster's arms. In the end, Lest Karr found an opportunity to plunge his sword into the monster's body.
Although Vampire armaments didn't have very powerful spells, they would continuously drain blood, which caused the monster to lose its combat capability immediately.
