Chapter 12 The End Game
Tesodous immediately cast a spell and created a barrier around the people, to stop the Vampire from further collecting blood. However, it was too late, as the Vampire lord already had the blood he needed, hovering above his head.
A sphere of blood could be seen hovering above the Vampire lord's head. The blood sphere was the size of soccer football on earth and the Vampire was currently forming part of the blood into something similar to bullets. The Vampire swayed his hands in the air and launched the blood bullets towards the Necromancer.
The Necromancer's face turned pale as he saw hundreds of blood bullets heading towards him, then he hastily summoned 10 of the undead minions that he planned to use as his trump card.
Swooosh!!!!
A whizzing sound exploded in the field as the blood bullets collided with the 10 undead that shielded their master.
Looking through the dust that the attack created, the Vampire lord could see that none of the undead was destroyed, but they were seemingly missing several limbs, and the noticeable things about the undeads were the rotten flesh and tattered armor that was on their body.
The Vampire didn't stop there, as he had only used one-third of the blood sphere for the blood bullets attacks, then he began to form a blood sword.
The Necromancer who saw this Immediately ordered six of the Undead to charge towards the Vampire. The undeads dashed towards the Vampire with the beasts' swords in their hands at an extraordinary speed.
Clang!!!!
The sound of the blood sword and the beast sword colliding ensued as all the undeads attacked the Vampire lord at the same time.
The Vampire squeezed his face as he noticed that the undeads were smarter and much stronger than the ones the Necromancer first summoned, as they were able to parry his attacks effortlessly. The Vampire lord was having a hard time dealing with the undead as it took most of his mental strength to control his blood sword and his blood sphere that was still floating above. One of the 2 meters tall undead suddenly did strange footwork and appeared behind the Vampire, and stabbed its long beast sword inside the Vampire's chiseled body.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" The Vampire groaned in pain as he leaped backward and swiftly used his blood sword to cleave off the head of the Undead that stabbed him. He quickly conjured the remaining blood sphere and turned it into several tennis balls, and launched them towards the Necromancer.
When the undead saw that their master was in danger, they quickly ran to his side and shielded him from the incoming attack.
Booooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A large explosion occurred as the Vampire's blood bombs fell on the Necromancer and his undeads minions, causing the field to shake violently and send debris flying around.
The Vampire was also sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion but he quickly stood up and removed the beast sword that was still stuck inside him. When he used his innate ability to look through the debris, he could see the Necromancer standing on both feet with a battered cloth on his body. However, his undeads were nowhere to be found as they protected him at the cost of their destruction.
"Fuck! Magic users are so strong! They just heal themselves as they wish, but I'm going to finish him as soon as possible" The Vampire gritted his teeth and summoned the small blood sphere that he kept for an emergency. The blood crawled on his right hand and began to swirl around his fists, then the Vampire dashed towards the Necromancer with his right hand, spinning continuously.
"Eat my blood drill! You miserable human," the Vampire cursed, darted, and leaped in the air, 7 meters away from the Necromancer, aiming to pierce right through his chest.
The Necromancer remained calm and composed as the Vampire darted towards him. However, as the Vampire blood drill was about to hit his chest, he spun his body in the air, using the strange footwork that one of his undead used.
Before the Vampire could administer what was going on, the Necromancer crouched and dipped his right hand into the hard floor, removing a one-meter whip that was made out of bones.
The Necromancer swung the whip at the Vampire at an incredible speed that the Vampire couldn't parry the attack and he was left to use his blood hardening to shield himself.
Plop!!!!!!!!
The Vampire lord's head rolled on the floor as the boney whip sliced through his blood-hardening like tofu and cleaved off his head, causing light red blood to spurt around the field.
After killing the Vampire, the Necromancer glanced at all the crowd that was watching him from above, then he smirked and said;
"You are all going to hell with me!!" The moment the words left his mouth, his body began to grow in size like a balloon that was about to burst.
When Tesodous saw this, his face turned pale and he shouted; "Turn on the formation crystals! Now!! He's about to make his mana core explode" Tesodous shouted on his lungs, in horror, while the soldiers panicked and hastily activated the formation crystals.
A bright white blinding light, pierced through the sky, and a huge barrier shielded the people when the formation crystals were turned on. At the same time, the Necromancer's body turned red hot before his body exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The whole podium shook violently as the might of the explosion began to spread across the field.
Crack!
The barriers began to crack as the shockwave of the explosion was still vigorous and threatening to swallow the whole podium in its might. People began to panic and piss in their pants, blaming themselves for coming over to watch the deathmatch. However, they couldn't blame themselves, as such an occurrence had never happened in the history of the Graven kingdom during a deathmatch.
Tesodous on the other hand was levitating above the field and casting several high-tiers spells to reduce the impact of the explosion. He was using invigoration to retrieve the mana that he had expended. But at this point, using invigoration was like charging a mobile phone battery with a direct source of light without a charger.
After a few seconds, the raging explosion died down, and the barriers shattered as the energy inside the crystals had been depleted. When people saw Tesodous, he was no longer the handsome middle-aged elf he was once before, but he was now an old man with white hair on his head and wrinkled skin all over his body with sunken eyes. Invigoration had taken a toll on his body and caused him to tap on his life span in exchange for mana, then people began to hail and cheer him up for risking his life.
Meanwhile, inside the king's chamber, the king could be seen clenching his fist on his throne while his eyes flashed with anger under the mask that he had always worn. His queen, concubines, and children were sucked in cold air due to the pressure that was radiating from him. No one had ever seen the real face of the king, not even his wife and children, as the mask on his face looked like it was welded to his face permanently as he had never taken it off in anyone's presence, making him more mysterious and feared among other kingdoms. Even his family was not excluded.
Vincent, in his mother's arms, suddenly had baby diarrhea, due to what he had just witnessed, causing his bowel to leak, uncontrollably. Surprisingly, his mother had no emotion on her face but she was ready to lay her life for her children if worse came to worst, but fortunately, the incident had died down. She sighed in solace and glanced towards her children, making sure that all of them were okay, then she said;
"Let us be going home, we had enough on our plates today, it isn't necessary to wait till the event ends, the king will also understand that I'm a nursing mother," she said to her children.
Immediately the words left her mouth, she didn't wait for their replies as she carried both Vincent and Savina in her arms and began to walk out of the podium while her children followed her from behind without questioning her authority. Hilda found Amelina's behavior strange but she guessed that she was still pissed off by Yohan's word, but deep in her mind she felt joy as Amelina always treated her as her child, unlike a mere slave.
Unknowingly, while the Oswald family were taking their leave. A small tiny insect was stuck to Zadicus's clothes, the insect wasn't an ordinary insect but the consciousness of the Necromancer.
"Hehehe, what a perfect vessel, so easy. I noticed him from far away and saw the dark desires within him, haha! I fooled those idiots, watch how I destroy them with this meat vessel, kukuku" the insect grinned and crawled into Zadicus's nose, aiming to attack his blood cells and take over his body. However, he was greeted by a nasty surprise as Zadicus's blood cells absorbed his soul and the dark energy that was embedded within him like a food nutrient.
At the same time, Zadicus was feeling some changes happening to his body, and feeling little nausea.
"Why is my body feeling different today? I didn't eat any bad food!" Zadicus thought as he boarded the carriage along with his family.
========================
Note: Baby arc has come to an end, I hope you all grasp what occurred in this chapter. Will Zadicus have the power of the Necromancer soul that he unknowingly absorbed???
