Chapter 520: Trevor versus Lady Seraphina (2)

Trevor hovered above the ruined mountain range, rolling his shoulders as the space where he had stood moments earlier vanished into a sphere of annihilated matter.

He whistled softly.

"Yeah... she’s definitely serious."

The air thickened.

Across from him, Lady Seraphina floated beneath the crimson moon, her black umbrella spinning slowly between her fingers. The blood rain swirling around her thickened like a living storm responding to her anger.

Her cracked alabaster face twisted into something far uglier than rage.

"You dare mock me...?"

Her voice was no longer sweet. It echoed like a blade dragged across bone.

Trevor exhaled slowly. Then he removed one hand from his pocket.

A single drop of crimson blood slid from his fingertip.

The moment it touched the air, the entire battlefield trembled.

Lady Seraphina’s eyes narrowed.

"...Pure blood."

Trevor smiled faintly.

"Congratulations. You noticed."

Her lips peeled back into a snarl, revealing elongated crimson fangs.

"Then I’ll enjoy corrupting it."

The blood rain exploded.

Thousands of razor-sharp droplets shot toward Trevor like a storm of living bullets, each one carrying corrupted life-draining power capable of hollowing a Saint in seconds.

Trevor vanished.

The sky cracked with a thunderclap. He reappeared behind her. His fist swung.

Seraphina twisted her umbrella just in time.

CLANG!

A sphere of hardened blood erupted around her, catching his punch. The impact still blasted a shockwave across the sky, scattering blood rain for kilometers.

The ground below fractured.

Devon glanced up mid-battle while smashing a blood beast with his club.

"Dad started already..."

Back in the sky...

Seraphina countered instantly.

Her umbrella snapped open.

From its black surface erupted dozens of blood whips, each one thick as a python and moving faster than sound.

Trevor’s body blurred.

One whip grazed his shoulder.

The moment it touched him, his skin began to blacken.

Corruption spread like rot.

Trevor looked at it.

"...Nasty."

His blood surged.

The black corruption burned away instantly, his pure blood devouring the foreign energy like a predator eating prey.

Seraphina’s eyes widened.

"That should have drained your life!"

Trevor shrugged.

"Skill issue."

Her rage exploded.

The blood rain above them condensed into a massive crimson vortex, swirling like a hurricane of liquid blades.

"Then drown in it!"

The storm descended.

A tsunami of corrupted blood crashed toward Trevor from every direction, devouring the sky itself.

Trevor lifted both hands.

"Fine."

His veins glowed faintly.

A pulse rippled through his body.

And suddenly...

The blood inside the storm stopped moving.

Seraphina’s pupils shrank.

Her control faltered for a fraction of a second.

Trevor smiled.

"You forgot one thing."

He clenched his fist.

The blood in the storm split apart violently as pure crimson energy tore through it like a divine blade.

BOOM.

The entire vortex detonated.

Corrupted blood vaporized into harmless mist as Trevor’s pure blood dominion erased Seraphina’s control.

She staggered back.

"That’s impossible!"

Trevor cracked his neck.

"Not really."

Then he disappeared again.

Seraphina barely reacted in time.

His knee slammed into her ribs with the force of a meteor.

CRACK.

The sound echoed across the battlefield as her bones shattered and she was launched through the air like a missile.

She tore through three mountain peaks before regaining control mid-flight.

Blood exploded from her body.

But instead of falling...

It reversed direction.

Her corrupted blood stitched her shattered bones instantly.

Her cracked skin sealed.

Her aura surged.

"You think physical force can kill a Saint?"

Trevor hovered calmly.

"No."

He lifted a hand.

"But it’s fun."

Seraphina shrieked in fury.

Her body erupted into a colossal wave of corrupted blood, transforming her into a monstrous storm of crimson flesh and claws.

A titanic blood serpent emerged from the mass, its body stretching hundreds of meters as it lunged toward Trevor with jaws large enough to swallow a building.

Trevor finally removed his other hand from his pocket.

"Alright."

His blood surged outward.

Pure crimson energy spiraled around him like a solar flare.

When the serpent struck...

Trevor punched forward.

The sky shattered.

Pure blood collided with corrupted blood in a cataclysmic explosion that split the clouds apart.

The serpent’s head disintegrated instantly.

Seraphina screamed as her massive blood form collapsed back into her humanoid shape.

Trevor was already there.

His fist crashed into her face.

BOOM.

The shockwave flattened the mountains beneath them.

Seraphina shot downward like a meteor.

She slammed into the battlefield, carving a trench several kilometers long before stopping.

Devon paused mid-swing again.

"...Dad is bullying someone again."

Seraphina rose from the crater slowly.

Her entire body trembled.

Her elegant dress had been shredded.

Blood poured from dozens of wounds.

But her aura only grew darker.

"You..."

Her voice shook with fury.

"I am a Champion of Lord Hades!"

Her corrupted blood erupted again, forming thousands of crimson spikes around her body.

Trevor floated down slowly.

His eyes gleamed faintly under the red moon.

"Cool title."

He stretched his arms.

"But you’re still just..."

He vanished.

Seraphina’s instincts screamed.

Too late.

Trevor appeared directly in front of her.

"...a loud mosquito."

His fist slammed into her chest.

The impact detonated like a nuclear blast.

Pure blood erupted through her body like divine lightning, shredding her corrupted blood from the inside out.

Seraphina’s scream tore across the battlefield as her power collapsed.

Trevor grabbed her by the throat midair before she could fall.

His eyes were calm.

Amused.

"Now," he said casually, tightening his grip.

"Let’s see if this Champion of Hades can survive round two."

Far below, Devon swung his club through another wave of blood beasts and looked up again.

"...He’s definitely enjoying this too much."

...

Lady Seraphina hung in Trevor’s grip, her breath ragged, blood dripping from her cracked lips. The battlefield below had become a wasteland: mountains flattened, trenches carved through the earth, the sky still bleeding faint crimson from the rain she had summoned.

Trevor studied her calmly.

"Still breathing," he muttered. "That’s impressive."

Her eyes burned with hatred.

"You... arrogant... animal..."

The blood around her suddenly surged violently.

Trevor released her just as the eruption began.

BOOM.

A violent explosion of corrupted blood blasted outward, forcing Trevor to slide back through the air several hundred meters. The pressure alone shattered what remained of nearby mountains.

Seraphina floated in the center of the storm.

Her body trembled.

But the aura surrounding her had changed completely.

"This was not meant for vermin like you..." she whispered, voice shaking with rage and humiliation.

Her arms slowly spread.

The corrupted blood around her condensed into a massive spiral, rotating faster and faster until the sky itself seemed to distort.

Then her body ignited with crimson light.

"Saint Form — Blood Sovereign Chimera."

Her cracked skin sealed instantly as power surged through her. Dark crimson markings spread across her alabaster body like veins of living fire. Her eyes turned completely red.

Behind her... something appeared.

A colossal projection of a monstrous chimera made entirely of blood.

It towered hundreds of meters high, its form shifting between three monstrous heads, a lion, a serpent, and a horned beast. Its body pulsed with corrupted energy, wings of liquid crimson spreading across the sky like an omen.

The entire battlefield trembled under its presence.

Even the blood beasts fighting Devon froze for a moment.

Devon blinked and looked up.

"...Oh. She powered up."

Seraphina lifted her chin, her arrogance returning.

"Now you will witness the difference between a Saint and a worm."

Trevor hovered silently, staring at the enormous blood chimera looming behind her.

Then he sighed.

"Well... if we’re doing transformations now. And you seem to not notice that I am a Saint as well."

He cracked his neck.

"Guess I shouldn’t be rude."

The air around him changed.

His aura condensed inward like a collapsing star.

Then...

It exploded outward.

A surge of pure crimson energy tore through the sky like a tidal wave.

Trevor’s silvery-white hair shifted instantly, turning deep crimson, red as fresh blood flowing beneath moonlight.

Across his bare arms and neck, intricate tribal-like tattoos appeared, glowing with radiant scarlet light.

His presence became heavier, ancient, and predatory.

Behind him, a projection formed.

A towering avatar of a regal reaper-like being manifested slowly from swirling crimson mist. The figure wore a crown forged from jagged bone and blood. In its skeletal hands rested a massive scythe.

Its hollow gaze overlooked the battlefield like a silent king of death.

Trevor rolled his shoulders.

"Saint Form — Crimson Requiem."

Seraphina’s eyes widened slightly.

"...Primogenitor."

Trevor smirked.

"Champion."

The air exploded.

They moved at the same time.

Seraphina launched forward, the colossal chimera projection roaring as it lunged alongside her. Waves of corrupted blood tore across the sky like raging oceans.

Trevor vanished.

Their collision shattered the heavens.

BOOOOOOM!

The shockwave ripped the clouds apart and split the battlefield in two. The ground below collapsed into a massive canyon as pure blood energy clashed against corrupted blood.

Seraphina’s chimera struck first.

Its lion head lunged downward, jaws snapping with enough force to crush a city.

Trevor spun midair.

His fist erupted with pure blood energy.

The punch detonated into the chimera’s skull.

The lion head exploded instantly.

But the serpent head struck next.

A massive wave of venomous blood shot toward Trevor like a tidal wave.

Trevor raised his hand.

The scythe avatar behind him moved in perfect synchronization.

It swung once.

The wave split cleanly in half.

Seraphina screamed in fury and launched a barrage of attacks, thousands of blood spears forming around her and firing in every direction.

Trevor blurred across the battlefield.

Each step shattered dozens of spears.

Each strike erased pieces of the chimera projection.

The serpent head collapsed.

The horned beast head roared and charged.

Trevor accelerated.

Their final clash shook the sky.

His fist and her claw collided with devastating force, generating a shockwave that flattened the entire battlefield for kilometers.

Seraphina staggered.

Trevor didn’t.

The scythe avatar behind him raised its weapon.

Trevor lifted his arm.

Their movements aligned.

"End of the road," Trevor said quietly.

Seraphina’s eyes widened.

The scythe fell.

A massive arc of pure blood energy sliced through the chimera projection, cutting it cleanly in half.

The beast shattered into fragments.

The energy continued forward.

And passed directly through Seraphina.

For a moment...

Everything stopped.

Seraphina stared down at herself.

A glowing crimson line slowly spread across her body.

"No..."

Her form collapsed.

Her corrupted blood evaporated instantly under the pressure of Trevor’s pure blood authority.

Her body disintegrated into crimson dust.

Silence fell across the battlefield.

Trevor floated there for a moment, his Saint form slowly fading. His crimson hair returned to silvery-white as the glowing tattoos disappeared from his skin.

He checked the time on his wrist device.

"...Five minutes."

Below, Devon smashed the last blood beast with his club and looked up.

"Dad!"

Trevor descended casually, hands slipping back into his pockets.

Devon grinned.

"You took your time."

Trevor shrugged.

"She had a second phase."
