The Absolute Twin Magician

The OverHeat [ Liliana Rosweiss ]

Balls of blood shot out from the sky, shooting at us who were sheltering behind buildings. Right now, this group of Miss Stephanie, Mr. Vestine, Miss Hallen, and myself are fighting Vampires in District 5. In this district that has many noble buildings and mansions, we have many places to take shelter. And also that means, the vampires also have many places to hide and attack secretly.

But for those who are currently attacking us, it is impossible that they intend to use such cowardly fighting methods. The reason is because they have high self-esteem and trust, even too high. As expected of the vampire race, almost all of them had very high self-confidence and self-esteem. Therefore, using such a stealthy manner would definitely hurt their pride.

"Come on, can you please come out and cheer us up? Are all humans cowards like you?"

"It'll be over quickly if you don't take us seriously. I suggest you go ahead and face us directly from the front, man."

Our current opponents are two high-class noble vampires. Both have long-range attack capabilities.

The claimed vampire placed 3rd in the conquest of the town of Bluelagoon, Rosalia Ousford. He had a Blood Sacrified that resembled blood orbs that floated and moved at his command, Pierce.

The other claimed to be a vampire who occupied the 9th position, Silvia De Katade. It also has Blood Sacrified with long-range attack capability. Blood Sacrified Havania, a pair of wings made of blood. The wing can shoot its red feathers like hundreds of fast-moving arrows.

And also, both women.

"Vestine, Hallen, do you have any information regarding those two Blood Sacrifieds?" Ask Miss Stephanie. As usual, he looks relaxed. This time, though, the question sounded serious.

"From the two Sacrified Bloods, Havania was the most fragile. The weakness is the base of the wing. If that part is cut or cut, Havania will disappear and take some time to recover" Ms Hallen said. "While Pierce, he had almost no weakness. The only way to defeat Pierce is to kill the user."

"Pierce will always be active while the user is still alive. Therefore, killing its users was the only way. But doing that is not easy. When the user is in danger, the balls can change war as a protector and attack anyone who tries to approach him" explained Mr. Vestine as well.

"So, it would be nice to beat that Silvia user Havania first, right?" Ask me.

"That's true but don't underestimate Liliana too much" replied Mr. Vestine. "Although fragile, Havania more or less had the same capabilities as Pierce in his defense. It can protect its users from attacks if urged. Therefore, an impromptu attack would be much better to counter it."

"Hmmm, it looks like they're quite an interesting opponent" Ms Stephanie said.

"I told you not to underestimate them Stephanie" said Mr. Vestine.

"I don't underestimate them, I'm just a little bit interested in fighting them" he replied. Miss Stephanie is completely relaxed. I envy her who can always relax whenever she wants.

"So, what's the plan?" Ask Miss Hallen. Contrary to Miss Stephanie, Miss Hallen always looks serious.

"Attacking them both at once would be extremely troublesome. I'll try to keep one of them away" Ms Stephanie said. "Vestine and Hallen. Help Liliana face the other one. As much as possible, attack him up close."

"You're the one whose medics intend to attack alone? Turns out you're still a fight enthusiast ...." Said Mr. Vestine.

I'm a little surprised to hear that, Miss Stephanie is a battle-craze like Zayn? Just right! Wasn't he a medical expert, and not a fighter?

"Don't call me Vestine, I'm still sane."

"No sane medic will advance into battle and play a frontline attacker like you. I know you can, but I won't let you do it" said Mr. Vestine. "Hallen will come with you. I'm the chairman here, so no complaints."

"Huh, all right. I also need a long-range attacker here."

"Then, Liliana and I will target Havania's users. Stephanie and Hallen, you take care of Pierce."

"Accept ...."

The sound of their attacks began to die down. It seems they have stopped attacking. Is it possible to lose energy? No, that's impossible. I'm sure they're tired of attacking for nothing. That means they're starting to make us out.

With my demonic form, my sense of hearing became much sharper. Therefore, I accidentally heard their conversation.

"It turns out ReVoid's not as tough as I thought ..." Rosalia said.

"Hey man! Get out here! I'm tired of waiting and waiting like this!!" Shouted Silvia. "Oi Katherine! Are you done with your rest?! You can move forward now, right?!"

"No, not yet! I still need to gather even more strength!"

The sound of another vampire is heard. It wasn't Rosalia or Silvia. That means there's a third man hiding behind another building.

"Hurry now! We need a close-range attacker now!"

"I said in a minute! Learn to be more patient!"

He's a close-quarters attacker?! If he shows up, we might get more overwhelmed.

"Sir Vestine, I heard their conversation. Looks like there's one more vampire in hiding. Plus, he's a melee attacker," I said. "What should we do? If he shows up helping, we can be troubled."

"Look, what's the vampire's name?"

"Hmmm ... If it's not wrong the vampire named Silvia called her Katherine ...."

"Ah so yes, then no problem," said Mr. Vestine. "In our allies. One of Zuan's subordinates, Katherine Oze."

"allied?" Ask me confused. But a moment later, I realized that we were currently undergoing a temporary cooperation with the Vampires of the Zuan group. "A-ah, so yeah ...."

"It looks like you've forgotten something very important, Liliana, '" said Ms. Stephanie.

"Y-yes, I'm sorry."

Plans began, Rosalia became the first to glance at the movements of Miss Stephanie. It was exactly as we expected. Now the rest how the response will be given.

"Ah, that looks like two of them are trying to escape .." Rosalia said.

"What are you gonna do, Rosa?"

"Looks, they're heading to Miss Rozalia's place ... Do they intend to leave us and attack the madam?"

"Eh? Just right?!" Shouted Silvia. "Not only are cowards, but they also underestimated Madam Rozalia too much?! I can't let them—

"Wait for Silvia, there are still two of them left behind. It looks like the two left for bait, then the rest will go forward and attack the rest of Katherine."

"Eh, then we can lose that useful fighting force" Silvia said, in a deliberately understated voice.

"intriguing. It seems like those who become bait are quite tough too, to use this way. They are not opponents you can easily face Silvia," said Rosalia. "You take care of what's left. The two who escaped, let me take care of it."

"Hmmm, fine if you say that."

Good, according to what we planned. The rest depends on our abilities.

Rosalia starts to move and goes after Miss Stephanie and Miss Hallen. Of course, with a speed that can not be reached by ordinary humans.

Now, it was time for the two of us to launch our first attack.

"Hey ... If you want to get out quickly, come out" said Silvia.

I hid my presence, to the point where even vampires wouldn't be able to notice me. And slowly, I advanced towards Silvia who was currently showing herself right above a sizable mansion.

For starters, Mr. Vestine came out of hiding as if following what Silvia had in mind. And of course, alone.

"Well, I never thought I'd meet someone as important as you here, Vestine de Oust" Silvia said. "What are you doing here? As the leader of all these people, shouldn't you be hiding and leading them from safety? Or maybe, you intend to turn yourself in? If so, I'd be happy to take you."

"Just save your dreams for later, vampire. No, you'd better forget all your wishful thinking" replied Vestine. "So soon you too will die ...."

"Huh? You underestimated me, right? Even though I am only 9th rank, don't think killing a fool like you would be difficult for me."

"No, because you're 9th, you're gonna die real quick."

"You really underestimated me ya shit!"

When I thought it was right, I darted towards Silvia. My whereabouts are still unknown, and it makes Silvia who saw me suddenly appear near him shocked. Plus he has been affected by the provocation of Mr. Vestine. He will surely lose his balance of mind and cannot react properly.

"W-how did you get here?!"

"OverHeat!"

My whole body is giving off a hot aura. Thanks to that aura, the blow that was dealt to Silvia was much stronger. Silvia crashed into the wall just because of the attack. But, Havania had protected her body before my blow hit her. Truly a troublesome ability.

"The Axial Impact."

Mr. Vestine suddenly appeared from an unexpected direction, shaking off his sword that had been coated with shadow magic. Instantly, from the slash of the sword a terrifying monster appeared charging towards Silvia very quickly.

Panicking from the impromptu attack, Silvia shot back while shooting dozens of thorns from her wings, intending to destroy the shadow of the monstrous monster.

Silvia's attack on the monster, causing it to disintegrate into shards of shadows scattered in the air. Right after the shadow was shattered, the figure of the Vestine sir disappeared without a trace.

"After everything you've said, don't think you can get away from me that easily!!" Shouted Silvia.

The second strike I launched, this time a hard blow with all my energy. Plus the effect of OverHeat, my punch is getting stronger.

Havania started circling Silvia, trying to protect her from my blows. And when my punch collided with those wings, a wave of fire explosions emerged from my hand. And of course, thanks to the explosion the wings of Havania eroded away and made Silvia slumped backwards. Havania wasn't cut off, but at least the wound from my attack just now could weaken it.

When Silvia was wounded by my attack, a black smog appeared on Silvia. From that black fog, Vestine sir appeared with a sword slash that was so fast. Several slashes hit Silvia's body, and injured part of Havania's wing. Now, that wing he's proud of won't be able to attack or hold us back.

And to end it, I darted forward about to slash it with my hand. But something unexpected happened.

A blood-like red scythe appeared and resisted my attack. A female vampire with short silver hair blocked my attack and gave such a sharp look.

"You're finally here, Katherine!" Shouted Silvia.

This vampire, isn't he an ally that Vestine said he was? She's Katherine Oze, isn't she? Then why did he attack me instead?!

"W-what are you doing? I'm on your side!"

"I've never sided with the devil .." he said. His words were so cold, and filled with hatred.

But wait, he said demon?

"Prepare to die, demon!"
