BXBX NOVEL Chapter 473 - Ervas VS Vladimir 2/2
Ivy also did her part, as she used her awakened Whip Technique with the vines she fused with Ervas, giving them an extra boost in power while making them move around masterfully!
Vladimir was barely evading while firing highly pressurized water bullets and blood blades, which he enhanced in strength through the Throwing Technique Skill, which Ervas analyzed had awakened to Blood Firing Technique.
It seemed that Vladimir\'s method of fighting was both simple and deadly, he specialized in attacking from long distances with his endless supply of blood (thanks to his regeneration ability, he was able to generate blood endlessly with the use of mana) and also water magic. By combining them with his awakened Throwing Technique, he often overwhelmed his enemies to death with projectiles that sliced them into pieces!
However, Ervas was the first one to take on his projectiles head-on which such ease, it was as if Ervas was completely ignoring his abilities and (to an extent), even laughing at them, the powers he had polished for so long were made into nothing!
Vladimir flew around, rushing to evade, but at last, Ervas conjured a special Spell, creating a domain and entrapping him and the Vampire inside, shattering his hopes for a possible escape into pieces!
"Void Domain… Now, you can\'t run away!" said Ervas, flying towards Vladimir and entangling him with Ivy\'s vines once and for all!
"Nngnaaggh…! What kind of monster are you!?" asked Vladimir in surprise and horror, his strength was perhaps above an S-Rank Adventurer yet to Ervas he was merely something he was just going to kill and that was that!
Ervas remained in silence as Ivy tightly wrapped Vladimir\'s torso, crushing his bones!
Vladimir extended his claws into sharp blades and slashed through the vines, but more came to entangle him continuously!
Ervas used this opportunity to raise him into the air and hit Vladimir into the ground multiple times as if he were a mere ragdoll to him!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Unnggaaggh…! Stopppp!" cried Vladimir, as his entire body was being crushed into the ground, as Ervas mercilessly generated bark blades using the Ent Trio and then impaling his entire body!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Gggrruuaarrgghh…!"
Vladimir cried in agony as he gritted his teeth, controlling all the blood coming out of his enormous and severe wounds, firing countless projectiles shaped as blades and spears towards Ervas!
Ervas suddenly expanded his mouth monstrously, as a gigantic black hole appeared, an abyssal void that ate at Vladimir\'s projectiles like nothing!
"W-What?!"
This was Ervas Void Stomach Skill awakened from Digestion, coupled with his Chimera Transformation Skill which let him shapeshift his body to some degree, and expanding his jaws like some kind of angler fish was of no problem for him.
"It\'s over!" said Ervas, as he continued to crush Vladimir way more than the Vampire could regenerate, using his Void Form, he generated gigantic fists that began to crush Vladimir into the ground, flattening him like a pancake!
Vladimir\'s attacks which he had polished and specialized for so long were now useless, he was out of options as Ervas crushed him and entrapped him with a variety of means, all of them exceeding in the little things he could do!
He had lived so long yet he had wasted his life away, without properly finding more methods of fighting than doing it the "lazy way" and just using long-ranged projectiles… Due to such self-indulgence, Vladimir, someone that has lived for hundreds of years lacked many other means of fighting.
To Ervas eyes, who wished to have lived for so long to attain a lot of power, Vladimir\'s time he had spent on Kritias seemed like a complete waste…
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Ervas eyes flashed with crimson-red light and utmost malice, provoking in the Pure-Blooded Vampire a great fear!
His arms were crushed into a pulp, his legs torn apart, his stomach exploded, his chest crushed, and his head was about to be left like Swiss cheese!
"Unnnngghyyyaaahh…! N-Not yeeeeeettt…!"
However, in the very last moment, Vladimir roared, unleashing two Demon God-King Fragments he had saved within his body, which Ervas knew he had, as Vladimir showcased the [Demon God-King Encroachment] Skill at a high level, the more a mortal used these fragments, the more this skill would increase in level, until they would be completely taken over by the parasitic fragments!
FLASH!
"There they are…" thought Ervas, jumping a few meters away from Vladimir as his entire body began to turn into a twisting mass of muscle ligaments!
Through the muscle ligaments, they began to entangle together, reforming him once more, but more grotesque and monstrous, his entire body bulged with ligaments making malformed muscles, and several eyes began popping around the body. Additionally, large spikes of blue-colored crystals began to grow around the body, forming a natural armor.
"These Fragments… Kelsus Muscle Ligaments and Anir\'s Crystalized Tears…" Ervas immediately recognized the fragments, as he had seen them through Vladimir\'s Status.
"Youuu…! You forced me to use themmm…! I didn\'t want to use them because… they eat away my minddddd! But for you… I GUESS ITS FINE!" roared Vladimir, now being as big as five meters, he growled monstrously and rushed towards Ervas while firing several crystal spears at him!
Vladimir had abstained from using such fragments because as he was not a god that had a greater soul and mind, the fragments ate away his mind each time he used them, the more use he used them, the more influence they would have over him.
Ervas jumped as he evaded the crystal spears while also generating a void barrier, which he noticed was easily shattered by the crystals.
CRASH!
However, Ervas also had Fragments of his own.
His eyes began to suddenly flash as he evaded around and shielded himself from some hits with several layers of hardened wood enhanced with telekinesis barriers!
FLASH!
Suddenly, two beams of burning holy light came from them, these were the Demon God-King\'s Eyes, which he and Veronica had acquired from Graham back then! However, they had come separated, but Veronica had given both parts to Ervas to use as his weapons if he needed them.
"NNNGHH?!"
Vladimir\'s ligaments began to burn from a holy light generated by the powerful golden eyes of Ervas, as he screamed in pain!
His ligaments extended as tentacles as he tried to evade and attack Ervas by entangling him with them, but Ervas unleashed Ivy\'s vines and clashed against Vladimir\'s ligaments!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The crystals from Vladimir\'s body continued to shower over Ervas, who took much head-on and regenerated from the large wounds through healing magic, pushing forward as his hands suddenly bulged and exploded into masses of mushy flesh covered in dark scales!
"E-Eh? Y-Youuu have fragments too?!" cried Vladimir in surprise, as his face was crushed into the ground! His flesh began to distort in pain and anguish, as he despaired the more he glanced at Ervas\' crimson-red eyes!
BOOM!
"UNNGRAAAGGH…!
"Yes, and I seem to be way better at using them than you," said Ervas, as he burned through Vladimir\'s entire flesh and crushed it with Bone Marrow-enhanced arms covered by Black Scales, as he extended his Void Claw into Vladimir\'s soul, and grasped it!
"NNNGGGH…?! STOP! STOOOOOP!"
"It\'s over," said Ervas, as he ruthlessly crushed Vladimir\'s soul!
Crack… crack!
CRASH!
