Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

As both elements were fire, they augmented each other, raising the temperature to insane levels. Even with the non-stop infusion of lifeforce into the ice, it couldn't stop the inevitable.

Seeing it couldn't hold anymore, MingYue started moving backward, putting as much distance as possible.

KA-BOOM!

The furnace exploded, sending out a heatwave that turned half the city into ashes.

MingYue covered herself in many layers of ice lotuses to protect herself, but even this was not enough as her skin was scalded. But at the very least, it saved her from being burned alive by Alex's flames.

Meanwhile, the blaze ape was called back to the awe cube. As the flames were not purely made of its qi anymore, this resulted in damage to it, too.

Thankfully, it wasn't as potent as others.

Seeing the result of the attack, Alex's heart clenched. Half of the city was turned into scorched land without any buildings in sight.

God knows what happened to all the people who still lived there.

He could only try to tell himself that Petricia had done her job evacuating everyone else. Despite his ability to feel the lifeforce, with how intense the fight was, all his attention was focused on the fight, while the rest was on absorbing the lifeforce.

His gaze then locked on the half-burned being in the middle. Despite taking all the attacks, Luciel was still survived.

Half of her body had gruesome fire wounds, leaving only part of the flesh without any skin, while the rest was just bone.

Her eyes glinted with anger as she looked at Alex. The attack Alex sent out was far beyond his current level.

It caused her a lot of damage, resulting in a huge loss of energy. Almost half of it was wasted.

Alex stepped forward, using the movement technique to appear in front of Luciel.

What happened next was a gruesome brawl, where every hit from Luciel pierced and tore Alex's limbs, while Alex's attacks barely slowed her regeneration.

Bang! Bang!

In the next second, MingYue appeared behind Luciel and started attacking her. Alex's and Ming Yue's attacks began to put a lot of pressure on Luciel.

They started coordinating flawlessly. While Alex attacked with an uppercut, MingYue hit the back of her knee.

When Luciel tried to counter MingYue's attack with an elbow, Alex targeted the opening.

The longer the brawl went on, the more perfect their combination became.

Luciel started to panic; her energy came from eating, while Alex almost got it indefinitely from the atmosphere.

If the fight kept going, she would run out of gas despite being far stronger than them.

Luciel didn't dare to directly eat Alex and MingYue. From experience, she knew the result wouldn't be good for her. To eat a vampire, she needed to knock them out first.

Otherwise, the fight would just move to his inner world—something she didn't like.

"FUCK IT! I just wanted to play around, but you guys keep pushing me!" Luciel screamed with a demonic voice.

A dark fog started coming out of Luciel's body, covering her in complete darkness.

Alex tried to hit it despite the danger he felt, but the moment he hit the fog, all his flesh and skin disappeared, leaving only his bones.

This made Alex jump backward. As he observed the fog, he realized it was similar to the fog he saw in Edonia when he first met Vesa and MingYue.

The black fog covered Luciel's whole body, then turned her into a humanoid monster.

She had two horns and two white pupils. In the middle of her body, next to her waist, there was a vertical mouth filled with sharp teeth.

Her whole body was completely pitch black.

Swosh!

She then disappeared from where she stood.

Alex quickly panicked as he saw this monster moving toward Zorgath and Elvira.

He tried to move as fast as possible to pursue her, but his speed was far too slow to catch up.

Zargath, at this moment, was already outside the city, running in the opposite direction of Petricia. Only he and Elvira were left now.

He then put Elvira on the ground, letting her sit under the tree.

"You cannot keep grieving like this! Our situation is now dire! Don't you need to look for your father and brother?" Zargath tried to talk some sense into Elvira.

Hearing her family name mentioned, clarity started returning to Elvira's eyes. Her emotions exploded as she couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Isn't this all because of you!? If not for your master meeting my mother, none of this would have happened!

My house! My family! Even Alfred… Gone! All of them gone!"

Zargath was about to respond when suddenly the hair on his neck stood up. Unfortunately, even a fully-powered Alex and MingYue couldn't keep up with Luciel's speed, let alone Zargath.

The moment he felt the danger, it was already too late.

His stomach was pierced like meat on a skewer. "Run, Elvira!" Zargath screamed his last words.

It's not that he cared much for her, but this was the mission Alex had given him. For all the goblins, Alex's order was more important than their own lives.

CHOMP!

The vertical mouth opened wide and ate Zargath whole, leaving nothing behind. Not even his storage ring.

Elvira's body froze upon seeing this, her shoulders slumping down, devoid of any energy.

She was too tired. At this moment, her thought was, 'Since everything is gone now, I might as well just die. What more can I do…'

Elvira didn't recognize Luciel as her mother since her body was completely transformed. She then closed her eyes.

She prepared herself for the intense pain before everything turned to darkness as her life ended.

As she lamented her life choices, time passed.

The attack she expected never came. Feeling curious, she opened her eyes to see the monster had disappeared, nowhere to be seen.

A few moments ago, after Elvira closed her eyes, Luciel was going for the kill, but her sharp hand stopped inches away from Elvira's face.
