‘Yes, a demon,’ the woman replied.
Dean slowly made space for her. But the woman teleported behind him.
‘But what are you? You're not human, yet you don’t give me the feeling of an immune one. Weird.’
Dean struggled to his feet. He shook out his hand and fingers, then rolled his shoulder.
‘Come on,’ he mumbled to himself.
The woman gave him a wide smile—then teleported again.
Dean was on guard. He didn’t know where she would appear, but she had to show up. He spun quickly, peered over his shoulder, then to his right and left—but no woman.
Only when he looked up did he see it—a leg came flying toward him, smashing him to the ground.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgEJfJ9ghE
The woman stepped back from his bleeding face.
‘Yes, you’re not human. I went for the kill with that attack—yet you're still alive. For now at least. Before I end you, tell me who you are.’
Dean chuckled as he stood up. He raised his arms.
‘Well then—die!’
The woman summoned two grey daggers. She bounced in place and inhaled deeply. The moment she emptied her lungs completely—she vanished.
Dean braced himself to face her head-on.
But ten of her appeared at once, pouncing on him from all directions.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYU2vKo2lR
There was no way he could survive the assault.
The woman closed in, and Dean had no idea which one to focus on.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliGmpGHZ3L
Then he felt it.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhEnUdvBXE
A raging storm inside him.
The storm surged into his fist, which began to glow golden.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jgn1h0rt7
Dean suddenly knew what to do.
The light slowed the woman for a moment—but she pressed on regardless.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr9F8jkgSJ
All the afterimages went for a thrust.
Dean slammed his fist into the ground. Energy burst out of his hand and shot into the enemies.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O90oWnM2G
All the clones vanished—leaving only the real woman before him.
She was stunned.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCjZ3uyIeH
A blessing.
Dean wasted no time. He lunged forward, gathered all the energy into his fist, and struck her.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGpXSN4Gxb
Light exploded from the impact—destroying the woman completely.
Nothing remained.
Dean collapsed, gasping hard.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAmmMpTfKH
Before he blacked out, he saw men in suits rushing toward him.
In the Forest
Fighting such a number of ghouls turned out to be harder than Nicole had expected.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1tNUVfbb8
Luckily, she'd already been possessed once—so when a ghoul bit her, it only wounded her. Still, better not to get bitten at all.
Meanwhile, the commander and Dracule had taken the fight to the skies.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoPHgSdip4
The commander went for a slash—Dracule deflected.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoF28Ludml
Another slash—this time it grazed Dracule’s arm.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfhJKWXuKn
And another.
The commander didn’t stop. He became faster, each strike aimed closer to Dracule’s heart.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdysUhq7HZ
Dracule chose to put more distance between them.
Immediately, the commander gave chase—unaware of the tiny blood droplets surrounding him.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcbZCd0kFH
They morphed into long spikes and pierced his body.
At the same time, the blood that had entered him coursed through his veins and paralyzed him.
‘You lacked patience! Look where that got you,’ Dracule taunted.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bEbCAgvRi
‘You’re a beast, no doubt. But I know there’s more inside you!’
He gathered demonic energy in his palm and let the orb grow before firing it at the frozen commander—booooom.
When the smoke cleared, the commander was wounded but still standing.
Dracule fired again. And again.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXuSYk7O3G
His laughter echoed through the sky.
Nicole noticed. But her hands were full—ghouls surrounded her.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66UxWsPvPh
Tears formed in her eyes, but she couldn’t run to help.
‘Fuck!’ she cursed, beheading a charging ghoul.
She formed a giant scythe and swung it in a wide arc, slicing the ghouls before her in half.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRj7yEhtk6
From behind, she shot blood blades at ghouls trying to flank her.
A powerful attack—but it came at a price.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfzlHAB2ao
Nicole collapsed for the first time.
She gasped for air.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4o0R0UuBv
When she raised her head to the heavens, it felt as though a force was pressing it down.
She needed a break.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrKJ7b1skV
But Dracule was toying with the commander.
Then the commander screamed.
It wasn’t a war cry.
‘He’s in pain!’ Nicole realized.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAF6fWh3rT
‘You bastard!’
Forget the ghouls. She was going to tear that bastard apart—even if he was a Celestial.
Fueled by rage, she launched upward.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKFYFvTRj8
She didn’t notice the giant ghoul that had emerged.
It leapt—landing above her—and slammed her back to the ground. Baaaamm.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCywcb6IgV
It landed hard.
Nicole’s head bled. She coughed up even more.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtIxiO70g
Her right arm was mangled—useless.
Another giant ghoul emerged behind her.
Still, when she heard the commander’s tortured cry, she rose again.
She wasn’t done.
But she was unlucky.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLxT4vHl7n
She was only facing ghouls—meaning she couldn’t drink their blood.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwA0BKxw7r
It was rotten. Foul.
Vampires grow stronger by drinking blood. Depending on the quantity and compatibility, their power can double—or more.
The ghouls closed in.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6jd2HFfUm
Their grunts were drowned out by the commander’s howls.
Peng, peng, peng…221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY8e23BeFn
One after another, ghouls dropped.
Soldiers had come to help.
One ran to Nicole and held her upright, reporting:
‘Some of the soldiers—and Dean’s group—they made it out. They’re heading to the White House!221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FOpk8zIy2
We need to finish up here and join them!’
‘Yes… we should,’ Nicole said, breathing heavily.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X57lYh03R
She hesitated, then added, painfully:
‘I doubt we’ll make it out alive.’221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5yiMenUu
