Chapter 541: A Vampire Swarmed By Ghosts!
—–
Mikoto had rushed forward this time around, clashing against Austr powerful might with her strong jaws and quickly attempting to bite his head off, but failing miserably as she was greeted with the hard and accursed black steel of the vampire’s cursed blade.
CRASH!
However, her phantasmal jaws were unlike her jaws when she was alive, as long as she materialized them, they wouldn’t easily break, and could keep munching constantly without worrying about her teeth breaking.
But that alone wouldn’t really do much, she also used her large claws, slashing through Austr’s arms and armor, and leaving large gaps over the entire armor, managing to pierce his flesh several times!
She used her magic as well, as several magic circles appeared above her in an instant, surprising Austr as beams made of moonlight fell over him.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosive beams of moonlight clashed against Austr’s aura of darkness and blood. The powerful element of moonlight was rather strong against the Vampire’s darkness within his aura, quickly suppressing it! Mikoto’s jaws were also slowly suppressing the darkness within his cursed blade as her moonlight encompassed her entire ghost body. She was a Moonlight ghost after all.
Ghosts could have elements, as if this wasn’t showed before, when Ghosts died in certain ways or were too attached to their own main element, they would gain that element even as a ghost! Usually, ghosts were element-less, or well, death-attribute, as they were encompassed by phantom and death.
However, in such cases, ghosts would gain an element and would turn into elemental ghosts, their entire phantasmal bodies would be covered in their own element. Mikoto’s element was Moonlight since she was born as a descendant of the Progenitor Dragon of Moonlight that she had developed this element.
After her death, this element was already part of her very soul, infuse itself even in her ghost, and over time, as she evolved into a ghost, she gained a new mana core in the middle of her phantasmal soul, which was also Moonlight-attribute.
The same was for Yukihime but with Ice as well, mostly because she not only was an Ice Giant before, but her own Unique Skills, such as Yuki-Onna and Tsukuyomi No Mikoto, enhanced her ability to wield the elements of ice and moonlight. Over time, she accustomed to these elements to the point she could fuse and wield them together masterfully!
After death, she was infused with such elements through her inheritance, which leaked mana from ice and moonlight-attribute. And ultimately, ended becoming a ghost of such attributes, an even rarer dual attribute ghost!
Yukihime rushed behind Austr after she was pushed away, her Moonlight Magic was conjured, as dozens of moon-shaped illusions appeared floating all around!
“What the…?! Illusion magic?!” asked Austr in surprise, while trying to block Mikoto’s wrathful charge.
However, the moons suddenly generated bright light within them and fell like meteors over him! They were not mere illusions, but the spell itself seemed to be designed to startle the opponent and even force them to admire its beauty, only to be attacked by the same moons that they admired!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The moons clashed over Austr and his mount, who cried in pain and suddenly exploded into black and red smoke, dying on the spot. The rest of the powerful blows reached him and exploded, as the deadly attacks of these falling moons were in the form of powerful explosions, each explosion released a strong shockwave of moonlight, consuming his body constantly.
The powerful aura of darkness exuding out of his black armor was suppressed as the boost in physical and magical strength it brought to him was also suppressed, making it more difficult for him to fight against the deadly charge of Mikoto.
Without a mount, he was also forced to constantly consume Mana to float in midair!
“RAAA!”
Austr released another wary cry typical of more barbarian tribes of ice giants, as his fists clashed against Mikoto’s materialized face, infusing his own fist with his mana aura, he was able to hurt ghosts even physically, throwing Mikoto away and finally freeing himself from her attacks, only to find Yukihime using her katana-like ice blade against him once more.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Her ice blade attacks were not just mere slashes, she moved so fast they accumulated into a storm of slashing attacks, rather similar to Tisha’s own technique, but way faster and more masterfully precise, while also lacking the barbaric strength the ice elf put into it, and having a lot more magical power infused, alongside finesse only found in such a woman as Yukihime.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“You damn… Woman! Go back to death!” roared Austr, as he conjured magic, a spiraling vortex of icy blood quickly clashed over Yukihime. The woman defended herself using her blade and moving it incredibly quickly, rotating it around and generating the illusion of some sort of shield, while she combined her ice and moonlight magic into it.
BOOOOMMM!!!
The vortex made of icy blood began to push Yukihime down, as she quickly evaded it at the end, flying upwards as the attack reached down into the ground!
“Ghosts are very capable of evading such attacks with ease… I have to hit her strongly and more precisely…!” thought Austr, he raised his blade and released a strong slash using its cursed darkness power.
The slash of darkness clashed over Yukihime once more, pushing her down and then impacting her strongly!
“Agh!”
“Yukihime!”
Mikoto came to Yukihime’s rescue, as she unleashed a powerful breath attack in the form of a pink beam of moonlight, destroying the dark slashing attack made of darkness aura and shadows!
“Good, this is just where I wanted you two! I’ll kill two birds with one stone!” said Austr, finding the opportunity to destroy the two ghosts, he quickly conjured a massive spear of over 20 meters of length in a single second, made of frozen blood, which he infused with the darkness of his equipment and then fired at an incredible speed towards the two, aiming to skewer them!
FLAAAASH!
