Chapter 510 Gods in action
The vampires split the marble pole into two. Some vampires grabbed one hand and ran to Noah while the others leaped into the air above Michael.
"Fuck"
Michael saw the vampires bringing down the marble pillar to crush him like a bug.
"Lightning Dash!"
Immediately Michael dashed out of the way,
Boom!
When the vampires brought down the pillar, the shock wave created a mini explosion and a dust storm around the area where Michael was a moment ago.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the vampires treated the heavy marble pole like a wooden club and tried to smash Noah.
"Light blast!" Noah raised his hand, seeing the pillar coming down on him.
Boom!
The blast of light beam shot out of Noah's hands obliterated the pillar into bits and pieces. Still, the beam of light wasn't powerful enough to stop the vampires from smashing him with the marble chunks.
"(Cough)" Noah coughed up blood when a huge chunk of marble landed on his chest.
Michael was surprised to see Noah getting beaten up by the vampires. However, when he pondered for a moment, everything made sense to him.
The vampires drew power from darkness, just like him. Only, he didn't cast Death range to strengthen his powers since he didn't want anyone to suspect him of being the Dark Lord.
Noah, on the other hand, drew power from light. Although Michael had no concrete evidence that Noah was the God of Light, he suspected it. The acne before him confirmed his doubt. If Noah was to draw power from light, it made sense why he was so weak at the moment. Because there was no light coming through the dark blanket in the arena, the entire atmosphere had an eerie red and black color to it, resembling hell.
Since there was a lack of light, the darkness suppressed Noah's powers. In addition, he also used most of his energy fighting the vampires and saving the spectators.
While the marble block pinned Noah down on his chest, three vampires leaped at him, showing their fangs. Their eyes were blood red, longing to drink Noah's blood.
Michael may not know Noah was his brother, but when he saw Noah was in danger, the bond of brothers buried deep within him woke up as Michael dashed at Noah. But, of course, Michael rationalized the feeling of saving Noah by thinking that he needs Noah's Heaven's flame to kill the vampires without revealing his secrets.
Before Noah could cast another spell, the marble chunk on his chest shattered into pieces, and a strong wave of wind blasted away the vampires leaping at him.
Noah looked up and saw Ghost extending his hand. For some reason, Noah felt safe around him. Thus, Noah grabbed his hand and stood up. As soon as he grabbed his hand, Noah felt a sting in his palm. Then, a refreshing feeling surged from his core. Noah immediately felt better, and when he saw Ghost, he winked at him.
"Time out!" Michael shouted at the vampires as they halted their steps.
"Just give us a damn moment okay. You guys are bullying us,"
The vampires were confused and so was the elder vampire.
"Now I'm regretting not running away" Michael's facial muscles twitched, showing his exhaustion to the vampires,
"What is he doing?" Noah wondered. Since he had to heal his body and replenish the arch energy within his body, Noah remained still.
"Don't bother stalling Ghost," The elder vampire snickered,
"no one is getting in or out without my permission,"
Michael took a step aside, but the vampires immediately snarled at him. So Michael quickly dropped his swords,
"I'm not gonna fight anymore,"
Just as though the vampires received an order from the elder vampire, they stepped back.
"Is it too late to ask for permission to leave? I mean, you clearly allowed others to leave," Michael slowly walked away from Noah, keeping his hands in the air,
"I needed some cockroaches to tell exactly what happened here, '' the elder vampire calmly said. He was awfully calm and didn't seem worried about the Guardians or the Holy church breaking into the arena with their full force.
"But you two…" Michael saw the elder vampire lick his lips,
"Will be my finest creations. I will rub this on their faces,"
"He, I get it" Michael pointed at Noah,
"He has a Primordial Flame. Why me? Other than making potions and pills, I have no use for you. The man you tried to kill was a better alchemist than me" Michael emphasized the words 'Primordial Flame' and continued,
"And I can run around faster" again Michael emphasized the words ' run' and faster,
Noah felt like Ghost was talking to him. He pieced together the words he was emphasizing and connected the dots,
The vampires had total control over the arena. Hence, they couldn't care less about Michael. As far as they were concerned, he was mumbling in fear. They didn't see him slaughtering their friends after all. So they were oblivious to what he was capable of.
"Can we make some sort of deal and work together?" Michael emphasized the words ' work together
"I can help you transfer Primordial flames to you" the elder vampire frowned as Michael looked at his sword near Noah's foot.
If Michael was right, the healing potion would have healed Noah by now. In the corner of his mind, Michael wished he had injected his nanites potion into Noah's bloodstream. However, he couldn't risk it. No matter what Noah must not find, Ghost was the Dark Lord. Michael wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize his identity. After all, Noah wasn't alone. He had Andreas with him.
"Primordial flame chooses the host, not the other way around. Today, you will be turned. Then, you will obey every single command I have for you,"
"Damn it, I love my freedom so much. Not to boast, but I rejected the guardians because I don't want to work for them" Michael sighed,
"Soon they will all work for the great nation of Evernight,"
(Everlight was the RISE OF THE LEGENDARY EMPEROR'S MC's Nation)
"And you two will be our slaves," the elder vampire coldly snickered,
"Do you know something?" Michael lowered his hand while his expression changed from being afraid and exhausted to cold and murderous,
"If one thing I hate the most, it's slavery. NOW!" Michael shouted as he dashed at Noah as fast as he could,
Before the vampires could react, Noah stomped the ground to raise Ghost's swords in the air. Noah waved his hand when the swords were at his eye level, sending a stream of Heaven's flame onto the swords. Immediately, the bright blue flame coiled around the two black blades.
At the same time, two vampires dashed at Noah, flanking him from both sides. They were fast, but Michael was quicker because he didn't hold back. Instead, he used all the Celestial energy in his body, pushing his speed to maximum.
Just when the vampires were just a meter away from Noah, Michael grabbed the two swords in the air.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Elder vampire saw two heads flying towards him. He was shocked by Ghost's speed.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 100,000 Experience points and 5000 Badass points]

The headless bodies staggered around, spraying blood before collapsing to the ground with a sickening thud. Compared to Dark Flames, Heaven's flame was much weaker and way less potent. Hence, it didn't melt Michael's swords as Michael expected.
Since his sword was on Heaven's fire, they cleaved the heads through the mist like a hot knife through butter. At that moment, the vampires raised their hands,
"Blood beam!"
Several beams of crimson red light shot out from their hands towards Michael and Noah. Seeing the beams, Michael remained closer to Noah as the responsive shield absorbed all the beams, rendering them pretty much useless.
Pulch!
Suddenly Michael felt a hot splash of blood on his face. When he turned aside, Michaell saw Noah's hand sticking through a vampire's head. The vampire sneaked up on them, but Noah killed him before he could reach Michael.
Realizing Michael's defense spell protecting them both, the vampires changed their battle tactics. They all just dashed at them from all directions.
"Give me the sword" Michael handed his sword to Noah after he asked,
The vampires closed the gap in a blink of an eye. Anyone in Noah and Michael's shoes would barely see their blurry figures. But Noah and Michael remained calm and worked together. When they reached closer, Noah and Michael stood closer with their backs against each other.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Michael and Noah swung their swords, rotating and deflecting the vampires' claws. The faster they moved, the blurrier their figures became to the vampires. From the aerial view, one could see the two of them vaguely forming a 'yin yang' symbol. For the first time, they fought together. The Darkness and Light fought against a common enemy. Even powerful entities such as vampires couldn't touch both of them.
"Cast your ring of fire!" Noah shouted while fighting off the vampires,
"Ring of fire!" Immediately a ring of fire appeared around them,
Michael wondered what Noah was planning, and soon he got his answers when Noah raised his hand, shooting out a stream of Heaven's flame onto Michael's crimson red ring of fire. The moment the two fires clashed, they merged together, forming a bright golden flame.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 50,000 Experience points and 5000 Badass points]

The vampires burned to ashes in a flash when the golden fire touched them. Surprisingly, Michael only received half of the experience points he would normally receive. It seemed like the system deducted points by half because half of the kill was Noah's.
"Light Beam!"
Noah fired a beam of light strengthened by Heaven's flame straight through a vampire's head while Michael sent a powerful gust of wind blasting the vampire, dashing towards him into the fire.
The power radiation the elder vampire sensed as they were fighting startled him. He had never felt such power in his life. But, of course, he was six hundred years old. He experienced many anomalies, but the radiation from them was something else.
"What are they?"
