‘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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5S1TN49Yh
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c9I2z3KPa
There was no way he could survive the assault.
The woman closed in, and Dean had no idea which one to focus on.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZzKEDbBfF
Then he felt it.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQHuhI53Fx
A raging storm inside him.
The storm surged into his fist, which began to glow golden.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYHfyD9Cqi
Dean suddenly knew what to do.
The light slowed the woman for a moment—but she pressed on regardless.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h6Ac5Am5V
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPjXyeriEj
All the clones vanished—leaving only the real woman before him.
She was stunned.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYGd6G41Di
A blessing.
Dean wasted no time. He lunged forward, gathered all the energy into his fist, and struck her.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZOzVyyqtM
Light exploded from the impact—destroying the woman completely.
Nothing remained.
Dean collapsed, gasping hard.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4fLoMpBA
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOweCLptL3E
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvusfJpX855
The commander went for a slash—Dracule deflected.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkNdv0TBDp
Another slash—this time it grazed Dracule’s arm.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkvem0LWIz
And another.
The commander didn’t stop. He became faster, each strike aimed closer to Dracule’s heart.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V8cDpWCVR
Dracule chose to put more distance between them.
Immediately, the commander gave chase—unaware of the tiny blood droplets surrounding him.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8lFP3Y518
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwBn3REtsu
‘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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ZQTEOR2D
His laughter echoed through the sky.
Nicole noticed. But her hands were full—ghouls surrounded her.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL3l8OdnJD
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTsGWmOe9
From behind, she shot blood blades at ghouls trying to flank her.
A powerful attack—but it came at a price.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13se3uEndp
Nicole collapsed for the first time.
She gasped for air.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckCfjI155q
When she raised her head to the heavens, it felt as though a force was pressing it down.
She needed a break.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAP3xaKSt8
But Dracule was toying with the commander.
Then the commander screamed.
It wasn’t a war cry.
‘He’s in pain!’ Nicole realized.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPNmn8HSN3
‘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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheBEcH4TGg
She didn’t notice the giant ghoul that had emerged.
It leapt—landing above her—and slammed her back to the ground. Baaaamm.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO0bDPyiS6
It landed hard.
Nicole’s head bled. She coughed up even more.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn5xOpzPKY
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlDs75bo1l
She was only facing ghouls—meaning she couldn’t drink their blood.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUWDh3Orqz
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenibb994u1
Their grunts were drowned out by the commander’s howls.
Peng, peng, peng…76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphEeyARAZK
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!76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1hhEkgUdJ
We need to finish up here and join them!’
‘Yes… we should,’ Nicole said, breathing heavily.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz61bEuewiq
She hesitated, then added, painfully:
‘I doubt we’ll make it out alive.’76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2iRO2Vx9j
