*Bam*
"Khhwaaakk!!"
Melia coughed out blood as she fell on the ground, the impact was too strong, and if it wasn't for all the Blood she gathered using Blood Control to soften the impact, it could have been a lot worse.
However, right now, she didn't have the time to praise herself or scream in pain, because in front of her, she could see more than 10 Fire Lances, raining down at her.
And those spells, just like before, she knew she cannot dodge them either.
'Just how in the hell is he firing those spells so quickly!? No Human Emperor or even a Sage should be capable of doing that! It is as if I am fighting against a Dragon!'
Melia clenched her fists, her red eyes started shining, and with a focused look on her face, she extended her arms.
All the blood that was 500 meters or less distance away from her moved close to her at a scary speed and soon, a dome made of Blood was formed around her.
*BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM*
The Lances and the Blood Dome collided, and with each collision, an explosion was sounded and the Blood Dome trembled,
Melia tried her best to keep the Dome intact, however, a Blood Dome made within just a few milliseconds, while she was in immense pain and confusion had no way of standing against Nux's Lances.
The first crack appeared on the Dome after the third explosion, 12 more explosions later, the entire Dome turned back to blood and was completely destroyed.
And Melia… she was forced to tank the last 5 Blood Lances on her own.
"AaaAagggGGhhhHhhhH!!"
Melia screamed in agony.
The Scorching Heat from Nux's Lance burned her flesh, her armor was already torn apart after tanking that Fireball from such a close distance, whatever was left of the Armor was burnt away now, and this time, she had no choice but to take on everything on her own.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other side, Nux had already created 5 Pillars to support himself and was using them as stairs to come down.
By the time he stepped on the ground, all his Lances landed on Melia, he could hear her screams, she was trying her best to hold them back, however, in the end, her skin and even her organs were being burned, the only way to lessen that pain was to scream out as much as she could.
Nux didn't stop here either.
He needed to make sure,
20 more Magic Circles appeared behind him and again,
"Rain of Destruction."
Another batch of destructive Fire Lances were shot at Melia, who was already in a helpless situation. This time, she couldn't create another Blood Dome, she didn't have her Battle Suit, or her armor to protect herself,
This time,
She had to take all those 20 Fire Lances on her own.
*BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM*
The Fire Lances landed Melia, this time, even her screams weren't audible.
Evane, who was watching this fight, couldn't bear to watch anymore and closed her eyes,
'Nux…'
Skyla called out in a troubled tone…
'It's over…'
Nux replied in a hoarse voice.
Even he didn't want to do this, however, in the end, he could not hold back.
This was a Dual, and holding back would only bite him in the future.
His wives understood that.
'You did it.' Felberta spoke in a calm and reassuring tone.
'It was a lot faster than I expected.' Amaya nodded with a small smile on her face.
'A Great Sage will be joining our clan huh…' Thyra commented.
Nux smiled a little, he knew what his wives were trying to do.
They were all trying to calm him down, trying to make him feel less guilty and he appreciated that. However,
'No, wait a minute, don't celebrate too early.' Suddenly, Evane spoke up.
With a frown on her face, she pointed out.
'Lord Orpheus is still sitting on his chair.'
Nux's expression changed.
Orpheus hadn't moved and with his character, he should be worried sick by now. Honestly, Nux wouldn't have been surprised if he had appeared to block the Fire Lances he shot at her.
For him to remain calm in this situation…
Nux narrowed his eyes and glanced at the smoke in front of him.
Honestly, if it was an actual battle, he would have used Devouring Mist to devour Melia's Life Force, ending the battle right here and now, however, he didn't have that option right now.
Right now, he could only prepare more spells and prepare for the worst-case scenario.
20 more red-orange Magic Circles formed behind him as he glanced at the smoke in front of him with a wary look on his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing those Magic Circles, Orpheus narrowed his eyes, however, he still didn't move and continued to watch the battle.
The smoke soon cleared up, and there, Nux saw Melia standing…
Well, she was barely standing.
Half of her face was burnt, her battle suit was completely destroyed, the clothes under her battle suit were burnt away as well, and only some part of her undergarments were still intact, that too barely. The bone of her right arm was visible, all that flesh, muscle, blood, and everything above the bone was turned into ash.
Honestly, Melia's condition was bad.
Nux didn't even know how she was standing straight, let alone glaring at him, with those red eyes shining with undefeated fighting spirit.
Melia moved her left arm and pointed at Nux.
Suddenly, the Blood behind Nux moved, it turned into a sharp spike and aimed at his face,
Of course, Nux dodged the spike without any problems, however, this wasn't the only Blood Spike he had to worry about,
More and more Blood Spikes started attacking him, it seemed like the ground he was standing on had some grudge against him. With all these continuous attacks, Nux was having a difficult time dodging them.
He glanced at Melia, the person responsible for all this, and noticed that her wounds, which looked so severe that it looked like she would die with just a slight push just a moment ago, were now healing at a scary face.
Her face had already healed, and a few more seconds later, it would be back to normal, the wounds on the rest of her body were the same, only her right arm seemed to be the same as before.
"You know why we Vampires are known as one of the Strongest Races in Yrnie?"
Suddenly, Melia spoke up.
With half of her lips gone, she looked frightening right now, however, for some reason, Nux still couldn't look away from her.
"It is our Regeneration."
Melia smiled.
"You did well for an Emperor, Nux. A lot better than I expected, but now, let me show you what happens when you fight a Vampire in her domain.
Let us start round two, Nux."
