Chapter 255 - Metal Storm

n
nEveryone present was decisive, and it was decided that the duel would be held at night.
nRobert Bruce was a handsome centenarian. He was like a young noble in the Human nation, and he always wore a courteous smile.
nHe was the Bruce clan leader who was behind the extermination of the Lex clan.
nMost of the time, an old vampire was a deceptive scoundrel.
nIt was said that one should never judge a book by its cover. Otherwise, one could mistake William for the most angelic person in the world…
nWhen Robert arrived at the abandoned castle and saw Diablo, he immediately recognized him.
n
n
nWhen they looked at each other, they remained silent.
nAs for why they did not curse at each other?
nOnly kids would do such a thing.
nBoth of them did not need others to intervene in their feud.
nRobert transformed into a black figure and used his sharp claws to attack Diablo’s chest.
nDiablo was unfazed as he backed up a step. A circular metal disc materialized in front of his chest, but it got penetrated like a bean curd. The sharp claws were about to tear at Diablo’s chest.
nBut at this moment, the metal disc compressed and encapsulated Robert’s arm.
nDiablo saw his chance. He wanted to sever Robert’s hand right there, but his blood violently shook, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Diablo continuously retreated and saw Robert effortlessly retract his hand.
nRobert smiled coldly and said, “Your clan is good with metals. It seems like there are no weaknesses in both close-range and long-range combat. Your mental strength is also robust. But your blood… it is your greatest weakness!”
n“Take this!” Robert shouted angrily.
n
n
nPom, pom, pom!
nIt was like the firecrackers going off.
nDiablo was profusely bleeding. The blood vessels on his skin started bursting, and within a second, he had been drenched in blood.
nWilliam and his companions were puzzled about why Diablo did not make use of magic scrolls. Was Diablo trying to make use of his true capability to kill his enemy?
nDiablo had guarded the city gate of Black Lava Dukedom previously, and nobody was able to kill him.
nDiablo, whose alias was Metal Storm, had a bloodline that was more powerful than his ancestors.
nHe wiped the blood off his face to reveal a pair of golden eyes. Looking calmly at Robert, he asked, “Is that all?”
n“There’s more—”
n“Take this!” Diablo emitted golden light from his body. His gaze was full of hatred as he charged towards Robert.
nBoom!
n
n
nDiablo was using the metal element magic to accumulate the metals underneath the ground. This was the reason he had been staying motionless when Robert had attacked him.
nThe metal fragments from the ground flew towards Robert with a snowballing effect.
nThe vampire was astonished. He activated his battle energy shield while retreating, but his shield was torn apart by the countless metal fragments.
nThe metal fragments went on to cut into his body. Fresh blood gushed out from his wounds, and Robert looked like a perforated filter paper.
nIt was a pity.
nRobert’s body regenerated rapidly. Metal fragments were being forced out of his body, even though he was seriously wounded. The regeneration capability of a vampire was incredible.
nWhile Diablo was wounded, Robert made use of the opportunity to charge at him.
nBut metal fragments formed a barrier around Diablo’s body. As Robert ran towards Diablo, tens of metal spears broke out of the ground and almost pierced through Robert.
nRobert’s palms were his weapons. The sharp claws were not his fingernails. They were Epic-quality gloves for Advanced professionals. When he tore at Diablo, the gloves left a trail of crimson claw marks. The metal spears were broken by the claws.
nRobert also shredded the metal barrier that formed around Diablo and grabbed at his head!
n
n
nA scarring attack!
nDiablo could not evade in time, and his face was scarred by the sharp claws.
nBut in the next moment, Diablo watched Robert enter the metal boundary and smiled. He just clenched his fists!
nSwish!
nWithin a radius of a hundred meters, metal fragments and even some metal weapons of other warriors sped towards the center of the metal boundary.
nMetal Storm!
nIt was as fast as lightning.
nAnd as violent as the gale.
nThe Metal Storm filled the entire sky like a metal tornado.
nNot long after, Diablo relaxed his fists, and the spinning metal fragments fell to the ground. Then, he walked towards William and stood behind him without turning his head.
n
n
nAt this time, Bernard and his companions gasped in astonishment!
nBecause Robert had vanished!
nDisappeared!
nYes!
nWhen the Metal Storm descended, Robert was shredded into mincemeat!
nIt did not matter that he had transformed into a bat a second before!
nIn the violent storm of dense metal fragments, Robert’s flesh and blood were stained on every piece of metal fragments…
nRobert had instantly been turned into bones.
nAnd then these bones also vanished.
nBernard gazed deeply at Diablo. He remembered this move. It was the same move used by Diablo’s grandfather.
nBut that had been a killer move only available to a Grandmaster professional.
nThe Lex clan specialized in the metal element and was skilled in Metal Storm.
nAll the enemies in the Metal Storm would be killed.
nBernard’s greatest adversary was not Human. His greatest adversary were vampires from different factions. Hence, the Metal Storm of the Lex clan helped Bernard to get rid of the vampire adversaries.
nHowever, that was in the past.
nBernard had committed a mistake.
nIn other words, his single mistake caused a series of sins.
nBernard had not converted the Lex clan leader into an immortal vampire.
nThen he allowed the jealousy of Robert Bruce to exterminate the Lex clan. And it was for a map that was not found.
nBut everything was too late.
nBernard looked at William with a killing intent, while he gazed at Diablo with a great sense of regret.
nBernard inhaled deeply before he waved his hand. “Linde, bring some vampires to exterminate the Bruce family. All the loot of the Bruce family belongs to Diablo!”
n“Yes, my lord,” a Grandmaster vampire replied and respectfully nodded. Then, he invited William and his companions to follow him.
nBernard snapped his finger.
nAnd the barrier vanished.
nMeanwhile, Alec was patiently waiting with a hundred Temple Knights and clerics outside the barrier.
nThey had not made any moves.
nBut it did not mean they would not act.
nBernard gazed at the Temple Knights and clerics. Then he laughed coldly before he left.
nThere were four main forces on the Legendary continent.
nThe Temple of Light, the Palace of Darkness, the Magic Sanctuary, and the Mercenary Guild.
nIn many circumstances, the Temple of Light was far superior to the other three forces.
n
