Chapter 249: Thalia Voss
Chapter 249: Thalia Voss
Blood came out from her body, creating an explosion that pushed Alex's hammer and MingYue's sword back.
'MingYue, focus on Luciel; I will take care of her.'
'Are you sure? This woman may not be strong, but she is annoying; she keeps casting multiple spells without any delay. It will take me some time before I can help you.'
'Yes, don't worry, I will not play around.'
MingYue didn't respond further as the sword flew back to her side.
Alex caught his hammer then pointed it at the vampire. "I am Alex, who are you?"
"Thalia Voss, I have no time, so I cannot explain further, but let me take this woman's body, or things will become worse."
"Are you threatening me? How could I agree without you explaining?"
Thalia started thinking about her options. "Even if you are Alucard's heir, this is still on you. Don't blame me later."
After she said this, her body was covered in a blood sphere. It then shot like a cannon at Alex, blocking all his view.
Swosh!!!
Alex didn't falter. He dashed forward, meeting it head-on. As he saw how Thalia used blood, he also tried to copy it.
Red blood started appearing around his body, but it was different from Thalia's; his chain was boiling with a sizzling sound like lava.
He then turned it into something like a chain, and it shot out, enveloping the blood ball.
When the boiling blood chain whipped around the huge sphere, smoke started coming out, followed by an explosion.
Boom!!
Red smoke and blood dispersed in the area, blocking Alex's senses.
He kicked his foot at the ground, creating a wind shockwave to disperse it. But to his surprise, it only barely removed some around him.
'Her soul is wounded, but the quality is still stronger than mine.' Alex thought
While Alex was blocked by the blood fog, MingYue succeeded in pushing Luciel back. She studied her attack pattern, then followed up with a similar countermeasure but using the ice element.
Earth spikes met with ice spikes, and Luciel's quagmire was frozen solid by MingYue.
As she got close to Luciel and wanted to subdue her, MingYue's instinct screamed danger.
SWOOSH!
Thalia's hand with sharp claws pierced toward Luciel. This made MingYue quickly change her target.
She created ice block, pushing Luciel away from the attack, while her hand took out a sword to block the attack.
CLANG!
The sharp nail clashed against the sword, but MingYue was losing in strength and started getting pushed back.
Usually, this would take all her focus, but thankfully, she was in inner world now.
With a thought, the sword transformed into an ice fox that leaped at Thalia.
MingYue then took out another sword and slashed toward her neck.
Facing the two-pronged attack, Thalia lowered her head, dodging the slash. Her body then spun, sending a kick at the ice fox.
But at this moment, Alex had already come out from his block.
He dashed in a blur to MingYue and Thalia's location, using his flame to thrust himself forward, as he created blood making his leg slippery.
He appeared behind Thalia and then hit her in the back, catching her by surprise.
Bam!
Thalia's body spun in the air as MingYue, and Alex took some distance away from her.
Watching this, Luciel decided to observe, second-guessing herself about whether Alex and MingYue were enemies or not.
Thalia raised her body; her head was broken in an unnatural manner, but it didn't seem to impede her at all.
They were prepared for Thalia's next attack, but it never came.
Instead, her soul body kept moving in an unnatural manner as she screamed in pain.
The attack from Alex seemed to trigger the corruption in her soul to keep growing.
The dark color started moving like thousands of ants crawling over her.
"You fool! We are doomed now!" Thalia screamed for the last time before she was quickly engulfed.
Her form then started changing from humanoid into a blob-like slime. A vertical line spread out in the middle of it.
In one motion, it spread out, showing a pair of teeth like those of a human.
While Alex, MingYue, and Luciel were still making sense of what was happening, the weird creature suddenly disappeared.
It was like the creature was melding into the surroundings.
"KYAAAA!" Luciel let out a heart-piercing scream as she felt her existence being chewed out.
The whole inner world then started changing, and many large mouths started appearing, making Alex and MingYue frown.
Meanwhile outside, in the room, there were now four people.
As Petricia needed to protect Alex and MingYue's bodies, after some thought, she decided to call Zorgath for help.
Right now, Elvira had already woken up with some bruises on her face. This was done by Zorgath as she tried to get close to her mother.
Thankfully, Alfred interjected at this moment, trying to make her see reason and be patient, at least until they saw what Alex and MingYue had done.
Throughout this, Petricia acted as a preacher, talking up Alex like a god. She told them not to worry, as her own tribe survived, thanks to Alex.
This information made Elvira and Alfred realize they were not from this place. Even though they didn't have a scientific concept like other planets, the story of other realms or dimensions still existed in fairy tales.
"So I suggest you bow to my king and prosper, or you will go straight to hell," Petricia said, her eyes filled with worship.
Zorgath didn't talk much; he only nodded, agreeing with her.
But before Elvira could respond, a shockwave suddenly exploded from Luciel's body, pushing everyone in the room and crashing into the wall.
BAM! CRACK!
Alex and MingYue also got pushed out.
Both of them felt pain throughout their bodies, as their souls had just been wounded. MingYue clutched her hand to her chest while Alex gritted his teeth.
But they knew they could not take a break. In front of them was the strongest enemy they had ever faced.
