Chapter 274: Ariel and James Will Be Enough
The ancient demon seemed stunned as hundreds of vampires attacked. They didn't care about anyone but their own honour and their own race, just like vampires.
James, on the other hand, had now partially absorbed the essence of a Sun Vampire, even if his race hadn't changed, and had begun to be seen as a member of the race by the vampires.
The question was how the vampires had learnt that James possessed such a thing. Still, it wasn't something that needed to be pondered at the moment.
James turned to Chao, who was stunned just like the ancient demon, and then said as if it was very normal, "The stage is yours Chao, crush him one on one, kill him, and leave the rest to us."
As soon as Chao heard these words, he suddenly jumped up and bit the ancient demon in the neck, and suddenly drove it out of the city. Everything happened so fast that only the vampires, Bai Fang, Ariel and James were left to fight against the demon beasts.
"DON'T LEAVE ANYONE ALIVE!!!" James suddenly shouted, and with his words, all the vampires became even more violent.
The puddles of blood on the ground were rising in drops towards the sky.
James himself felt that it was time to finally use the blood elemental, although his mana still needed a little refresher. After all, he could try to use the blood elemental in his aura.
After all, his aura and magic rings were linked by the sprouting of the cracked elemental core. In short, James could see that he was able to freely transfer all the elements in his magic rings into his aura.
Even if this was at a very weak level, it was still better than nothing, especially when he was in a situation where he could not use magic at all.
Suddenly, he lunged forward and, holding the Godly Sword Lumen tightly, sliced through the back of a demon beast that was standing right in front of Ariel and Bai Fang.
He instantly recovered his aura, and then he took out Lumen from the place where he had sliced the demon beast and inserted his hand into that area.
As he removed his hand from the monster's body, a sword took shape, indicating that his aura recognised the blood element.
The vampires around were genuinely surprised, from those who fought hard to those who were strong enough to kill anything easily, their eyes widened.
The male vampire who had spoken to Selene said in front of everyone, "The rumours are true, the one who killed one of our kind has become the leader of our race..."
With that, it was time for James to give orders again:
"A few of you stay here and protect the duo, take care of them until they recover, the rest of you hunt down every demon beast scattered in and out of the city, those of you who don't have weaknesses to fire stay close to me, it's going to get hot in here!"
As soon as James's orders reached the vampires, none of them questioned them twice.
When the male vampire who had spoken to Selene came in front of James and got down on his knees, he began to speak simply:
"Sir, my name is Kriss, a vampire duke. With your permission, I would like to summon more vampires to help on this floor."
James nodded when he heard these words and with that, Kriss left and joined the vampires who had begun to leave the city.
There were only about a hundred vampires left in the city, and more than ten thousand demon beasts stood in the city.
It was time for a one-sided slaughter. James knew vampires very well. Not only did he have an idea of what they were capable of, but he had fought a member of their master race before.
That meant there was no way they could lose this battle unless Chao was dead.
The demon beasts seemed to have some very powerful ones among them. James could even see the mature dragons when he looked up in the air. It was indeed a very majestic sight, but the time to get caught up in this sight was not now.
James suddenly lunged forward. In his right hand was the Godly Sword Lumen, which he held tightly, and in his left hand was the sword of his newly created blood aura.
With each step, the colours of the flames around him began to mix and glow. The flames were no longer merging, they were each in different colours and shapes.
From black flames to white flames, each colour in succession, this was a city that was not just a few metres across but over a thousand kilometres. It was truly gigantic and James' aura had managed to cover the whole city.
With each step he took, he was mowing down another monster and moving on to the next.
He could feel himself right in front of that aura door. It was as if there was something he had to do to get the top-level completed aura, but he did not know what it was. He had already learnt to use his aura most perfectly, he had become incredible at fighting using aura, but he could still see that no matter what he did, he could not open those doors and pass through.
Still, it was not like him to give up.
He could see the shadow tigers running towards him. Some of them came very close and even managed to bite one of James' arms and left leg. James didn't even make a sound, even though he was hurt and in pain.
He used Lumen, the sword in his right hand, to slice through the skull of one of the shadow tigers and the blood aura sword in his left hand to decapitate another shadow tiger.
Instantly, he felt something coming towards him at speed and ducked down. He was incredibly glad that he had ducked down because he was able to get a clear view of the huge knife, which was tied with chains that ran right over his head.
It seemed likely that this knife would be able to cut his body.
Immediately, he swung the sword in his right hand at Lumen and cut the chain of the huge knife that had come at him in one move.
After that, he looked where the blade came from and saw the being that looked like a human but was o demon beast and started running towards it.
The humanoid shuddered when it saw James running towards it, with flames coming out of his eyes and turned around and started to run away.
James continued to chase the humanoid figure, not caring about any of the obstacles in his path.
In just five seconds, the humanoid figure paused and looked at his chest because of the feeling of warmth in his chest.
At that very moment, the humanoid figure saw that its chest had been pierced by the blood sword that James had created with his aura. Half of the sword had entered his chest and James had no thought of removing the sword.
The humanoid figure fell to its death and James continued to fight right next to the vampires.
Just then, from outside the city, perhaps five hundred metres away, the sensation of a gigantic impact spread through everyone. James realised that every hair on his body was trembling, one by one.
James could sense that this energy belonged to Chao, not the ancient demon, and with a smile on his face he said 'I knew you could hurt him one on one, destroy him Chao.' at the same time he thrust the Godly Sword Lumen into the spiny rat next to him.
It was at that moment that James realised the holy energy rising behind him.
'You're too late, Ariel,' James said, and with that, a golden beam passed a few centimetres past him and began to attack the demon monsters in front of him. Stay updated through empire
Ariel had activated her Lord's Knight ability.
Ariel was glowing. Her golden wings made her look completely different, her golden armour made her look like an angel, and her azure blue hair, tinged with purple from Moros' abilities, shone with golden colours.
Ariel stood in front of James like a shield.
James took advantage of this and increased his attack speed even more. Despite all the fatigue of his body, despite his body begging him to stop, he had no intention of stopping. Each of his attacks landed faster and harder on his enemies.
With each attack, he mowed down another monster, each attack causing more to flee in fear.
His attacks were so deep, hard, and fast that each one sent an impact through the air as if he were breaking through a wall of speed.
Both James and Ariel had goosebumps on the hairs on the back of their necks. It was as if even in the realm of the gods, there hadn't been such a good duo in a long time.
Even Nyx herself felt as if she was watching her daughters Eris and Nemesis. This duo was that perfect.
James kept attacking without a second thought, and Ariel met each attack with her sword in her hand and the golden armour she wore.
Ariel was making sure that no attack could reach James, it was a perfect sight.
The whole city was covered in flames of different colours, the dark image of James merged with Ariel's image of holy light, and the red colour of the blood created a spectacle that fascinated the viewers.
The number of demon beasts had officially halved from over ten thousand just ten minutes ago.
Not only that, hundreds of gates began to open in the air because of the call of the vampire Duke Kriss.
Thousands of vampires had come to the 37th floor on James' orders.
The war had only just begun and the end was hours and days away.
