Chapter 234: End of the Road
King's Campus, underground, second floor of the ruins.
In front of the desecrated Mirror Moon statue, the masked nun pierced the vampire's chest and abdomen with a fine steel sword. The vampire, whose body was burned, stared at the scene in amazement with his eyes wide open. He couldn't understand why the enemy who should have been hypnotized would suddenly counterattack and let himself be stabbed unexpectedly.
However, Dorothy ignored Claudio's surprise. She instructed Vanya to stretch out one hand to grab Claudio's hand and then increase the strength with the hand holding the sword, allowing the sword to stir inside Claudio's body and destroy as much of the internal organs as possible.
Claudio screamed in pain when Vanya disturbed his wound. In order to prevent Vanya from further damaging his body, he stretched out his free hand and grabbed the sword in front of his chest, holding it tightly to prevent Vanya from disturbing it. His palm was cut by the blade and blood flowed on the sword.
After that, Claudius' body was gradually shrouded by a dark shadow, and within three seconds the shadow spread to his entire body.
Afterwards, these shadows disintegrated in an instant, and the broken pieces turned into bats. These bats, which were far fewer in number than before, quickly flew away from Vanya and gathered together again in the distance, and in an instant they gathered into the shape of Claudius.
Through the bat magic, Claudio successfully got rid of Vanya's confinement. However, because his original injury had not recovered, the number of bats he conjured was only slightly above the warning line. He did not dare to use this small number of bat magic to attack Vanya.
The number of bats Claudio has is related to the state of his body. The more injured he is, the lower the number of bats he has. If the number of bats is reduced to less than one-fifth of the maximum number, Claudio will die. After being trapped by the zombie gas bottle and the number of bats dropped sharply, he dared not fight with bats at all, otherwise Vanya would really have no way to deal with him.
"Wow... a vampire with a bat body. Now the only way to escape is to come here?"
Looking at Claudio who was gasping for breath while covering his wound in the distance, Dorothy spoke to Vanya with contempt, while the other party spoke with gritted teeth.
"Why...why can you move on your own even though you're hypnotized?"
"Hypnosis? Do you think that thing really works on me? I just pretended to be hypnotized by you, just to make you reveal your flaws."
Look at Claudio, Vanya murmured. Hearing that he was deceived, Claudio clenched his teeth even tighter. He immediately cancelled the continuous hypnosis maintenance on Vanya to avoid unnecessary spiritual waste.
In Claudio's opinion, the nun in front of him obviously had some extraordinary item that could resist mental interference and resisted his hypnosis. The extraordinary item was continuously offsetting the spiritual power caused by his hypnosis, so the hypnosis was ineffective.
After seeing the glimmer in Claudius' eyes disappear, Dorothy immediately secretly told Vanya to clench her fist. It seemed like she was clenching her fist, but in fact she was pinching her flesh with her fingernails. After feeling a sharp pain, Vanya suddenly woke up.
'Hey... I, what happened to me just now? Why did I suddenly fall asleep in the middle of the battle? What's going on now? Hey! Why... why can't I move? Move quickly, that guy is still there!'
Vanya thought anxiously in her heart. She saw Claudio not far ahead and became flustered. She tried hard to move her body but was completely unable to move.
Just when Vanya was extremely panicked and anxious, a familiar voice sounded in his heart.
"Great Aka, please let Vanya know that her body is now under my control. Please don't worry, I will return the control to you soon..."
"Is this...Miss Dorothy's voice? Is she controlling me now?" Hearing Dorothy's voice suddenly ringing in her heart, Vanya calmed down a lot, but at this time she heard Dorothy's voice continue to ring.
"Also, this battle is no longer suitable to be dragged on. There is not much remaining in terms of martial arts or the duration of the talisman. It is time to make a break. Sister Vanya, please follow the instructions..."
"Next... is it time to end it? I understand..."
Listening to Dorothy's voice, Vanya thought attentively, and then she felt the control gradually returning to her.
On the other side, Claudio, who had pulled away enough distance, was finally able to take a breath. He directly took out a smaller syringe and injected a tube of blood into his hand, which relieved the injuries on his body to a certain extent. Then he took out a talisman and stuck it on his body.
"Shadow Blade Sigil..."
As the "Shadow" spirituality was consumed, Claudius's claws began to be covered with a layer of shadow. At this time, he relied on the talisman and consumed the extra "Shadow" spirituality to further strengthen his "Shadow" enchantment.
By this time Claudio had figured it out. He didn't need to do any other tricks. He just had to fight the nun in front of him honestly. As long as he used up all the steel swords she had, she would not be able to fight back.
Claudius has already formulated the next battle plan. He set his goal on destroying all of Vanya's steel swords. To this end, he used precious runes and extra spiritual power to strengthen the "Shadow" enchantment. Now Claudius' "Shadow" enchantment is high enough to break Vanya's steel sword in two hits.
Now, Claudius planned to take it slow and steady and break all of Vanya's steel swords in one go.
"Die..."
With a whisper, Claudio once again turned into a fast shadow and sprinted towards Vanya. Facing Claudio who was attacking him at high speed, his speed was much faster than before.
Vanya did not take a blocking stance with a sword, but instead stretched one hand into the air, with an expression that showed an incomparably solemn and pious look.
Seeing Vanya like this, Claudio felt suspicious. He could feel that the nun in front of him seemed to be preparing something. Seeing this, Claudio worked even harder to speed up. Although he didn't know what the nun was planning, he had to interrupt her before she finished.
Claudio's attention was all focused on Vanya. What he didn't notice was that while he was still in the preparation stage, a light figure rushed out from the shadow behind a stone pillar in the ceremony venue, and quickly ran towards them across the battlefield. This figure was Dorothy!
Dorothy rushed out from the shadows and quickly approached the battlefield where Vanya and Claudio were fighting. When Claudio just started to sprint and moved in the shadows, her mouth opened slightly, and an ancient and distant sound came out of it.
"—Tiid—"
The sound from the beginning of time came from Dorothy's mouth, and the sound of a slow dragon roar echoed in the ceremony venue. This sound was not as violent and deafening as the unrestricted power, but it was more mysterious and profound, shaking the soul.
The moment Dorothy's roar broke out, time trembled. From the past to the future, the endless torrent of time in this area became fearfully slowed down because of the roar. Everything around Dorothy slowed down along with time, including Claudio who was on the way.
