n“You should have just played along with my act” Said Xavier as he released his bloodlust

nIn response to Xavier’s words, the pearl opal green haired Vampire who was holding him in place with his sword pressed against his, grinned.

n“Crush him.”

nAt that moment, a tall muscular Vampire with a scar over his right eye appeared behind Xavier, swinging an axe at him.

nWith his sheer power, Xavier knocked back the pearl opal green haired Vampire’s sword, before jumping off to the left.

n*Swoosh!*

nXavier was just barely missed by the axe and a burst of wind created by the wind crashed onto the platform before them.

n“Hoh~ That fledgling is strong.” Said the pearl opal green haired Vampire.

nXavier who was mid-air repositioned himself to kick off the tunnel wall and counter.

nHowever, on his way towards the wall-

nEarth Manipulation: Destructive Coffin.

nHis intended landing spot suddenly receded inward, leaving behind a large spikey hole that he was rapidly approaching.

nAnd if he thought things couldn’t get any worse, the pastel turquoise-haired Vampire had appeared in front of him with a sword swing heading vertically down at him from the front.

nFor Xavier however, this was a stroke of luck. He didn’t hesitate to take advantage of it.

nXavier gripped his sword tightly and rotated his body mid-air as fast as he could.

n*Swoosh-*

nAs the two blades collided, the pastel turquoise haired Vampire’s blade slid down Xavier’s to the other side.

nHis eyes widened in surprise as in that instant, Xavier grabbed his uniforms collar with his arm before spinning the two and swapping their positions.

nNow it was the pastel turquois haired Vampire who was just about to enter the Destructive Coffin.

nWater Manipulation: Water bubble.

nIn an instant, he created a bubble of water behind him so that he would crash into it as he feared he would be ripped apart by holes if he entered the hole.

nThe intent of the bubble was to slow down his momentum and stop him.

nAnd it would have, if it weren’t for Xavier-

n*SPLASH!*

nHe kicked off the pastel turquois haired Vampire’s chest, forcing him right out of his bubble and into the Destructive Coffin.

n“CANCEL YOUR ABIL-”

nThe pastel turquoise haired Vampire was interrupted as his body entered and the only exit shut off with him inside.

n*Pierce* *Pierce*

nOn the other hand, the kick had boosted Xavier, sending him straight towards the two vampires on the platform.

n‘I didn’t get the kill or XP so he’s probably not dead yet… Oh well.’

n“That’s two down.” Said Xavier as he swung his sword vertically downwards.

n*CLANG!*

nHe was parried this time by the tall muscular bald Vampire who swung his axe at the same time.

n*CLANG!* *FWOOSH!!*

nThe swing was slow.

nHowever, the power-

n*CRASH!*

nHe was knocked off course by sheer power and instead crashed down onto the train tracks.

n“Earth Manipulation: Earth Bind.” Said the bald Vampire.

nFour long flexible pillars of earth rose from the ground underneath Xavier as he kicked off the ground to try another method of approach

nConsidering it’s name, it’s intent was probably to grab hold of him and bind him.

n*Swoosh!* *Fwoosh!*

nRunning down the tracks, Xavier stepped left and right to avoid the binds. If he got caught, he would have had to start all over again.

nHe was stopped however after a few dodges as the tall muscular bald Vampire suddenly leapt at him him with another swing in motion.

nBecause Xavier was also in the middle of a leap, there was no way to avoid it.

n*CLANG!*

nXavier’s knees bent under the force of the collision, his feet were driven into the ground, and the tracks beneath him cracked.

nXavier’s arms and neck bulged as he pushed back against the Vampire. The tall muscular Vampire seemed to have his Axe already drinking his blood as the gem in it’s pommel was glowing a bright red.

nHe had absurd power, his hands were numb after just two impacts.

nXavier glanced at the other pearl opal green haired Vampire and noticed he wasn’t moving at all, instead he was just watching with an amused smile.

nAs he did so, he also noticed the earth binds emerge from behind the tall, muscular Vampire’s body.

nXavier realized that if he didn’t move now, things would have gone beyond the point of no return. He pressed down on the metallic button on his sword’s grip.

nYour vampire blade craves blood in exchange for strength.

nWill you allow it to consume your blood?

n‘I’ve pressed the button, just drink it! Now!’

nThe sword consumes your blood.

nSeveral spikes protruded from the sword’s quillon before piercing into his hand and drawing blood. By that time, the binds had just begun to wrap around him.

n*Crash!*

nThe axe ended up crashing down onto the ground creating a slight tremor in the area as Xavier’s figure managed to slip right through.

nThe Vampire looked down with a shocked look, only to notice there was a deep cut wound on his arm.

n*Gulp* *Gulp*

nThe sound of gulping could be heard down the tunnel, and when he looked up, he saw Xavier.

nHis face was unamused as he drank the stream of blood flowing down the sword’s edge. Veins could be seen bulging out of his arm as the Vampire sword drew his blood.

nYou are consuming the blood of a vampire.

nHe got into position to fight again once the stream ended.

nYou are no longer consuming a Vampire’s blood.

nNo stat points were gained.

n“Bitter… It honestly tastes like ** and didn’t even give me a stat point.” Muttered Xavier to himself.

nXavier then turned to look at the pearl opal green haired Vampire watching the performance.

n“Are you sure it’s alright for you to not get involved?”

nIn a return to his own smile, Xavier smiled back at him. “I’m going to kill you next, after all.”

nThe people who were watching were all confused as they silently gazed at the fights unfolding before them. In fear of getting involved, many moved away from the platforms, while others even used the noise to elude the platforms.

nNeither the vampires nor Xavier, whose eyes were glued to the enemy, noticed this.

nThe bald Vampire felt his veins bulge out of his head as he perceived Xavier looking down at him.

n“You think you’re hot ** don’t you…?”

n“I’ll show you your place…”

nHe slammed his axe onto the ground before Xavier before showing him a wide grin.

n“Earth Manipulation…”

nThe walls beside Xavier began to tremble violently. Xavier looked up to see the ghouls’ red eyes slowly opening.

nOpening up, a pair of red glints swept the length of the tunnel as if it were their wake-up call.

nEven the pearl opal green haired Vampire hadn’t expected this.

n“Hey! You’ll wake them up you dumbass!”

n“I don’t care! I’LL KILL THIS BRAT!” The bald Vampire yelled.

nEarthen Crush.
