Demon Slayer: Rise of The First Werewolf
Chapter 140: King’s Rage(1)
A few seconds prior
After the vampire used blood morphis, his strength increased to absurd levels. Even in their true werewolf forms.
The three of them could barely hold him back, their regenerative ability couldn’t keep up with the damage they were taking.
The street was painted red with their blood, the most terrifying discovery was learning there was a limit to how much they can regenerate.
While it didn’t depend on esper, their regeneration was highly dependent on stamina.
The more she had to regenerate, the faster she got tired and the same went for the others.
The vampire kicked her so hard her ribs shattered and stabbed her lungs. She coughed up blood and shattered the street.
She tried to stand up from the crater but the vampire was already upon her. ’ Move move move.’
She tried to force her body to move, Sbu and Bred roared and attacked. They tried to stop the vampire.
Unfortunately they weren’t fast enough and neither was she. Her body hadn’t fully healed and she couldn’t move fast enough to dodge or block.
The blade of blood split the air as it headed for her neck, she closed her eyes expecting death.
’ I don’t want to die!’ she shouted in her head, Suki was not ready to die yet. Just as the blade was about to cut her neck she felt it.
A comforting aura washed over her, her stamina returned and she felt her wounds healing faster.
A streak of silver light flew past her face. BOOOOOM. A shockwave spread out and ripped the ground apart.
The entire street shook like there was an earthquake. Had there not been a barrier around them.
Those quakes would’ve been felt for kilometres around. The dust cleared and she saw a large back facing her.
Seeing those broad shoulders made her sigh with relief and she started giggling. Sbu and Bred appeared next to her.
" Damn, that was close, too close." She cursed and the two men nodded.
" Good thing the big guy showed up in time, or we’d all be dead." Sbu commented.
They turned towards the new figure, his body transformed and he turned back to his second phase.
" I really envy his ability to transform back with his clothes on." Suki commented, she couldn’t transform back without covering herself first.
The two men looked at her and grinned, she raised her eyebrow. " Dream on you pervets."
The vampire heard their conversation but he had no time to mind them. In front of him stood a young man with long silver hair.
He could feel a terrifying aura from this boy. " You are the famous king of wolves, it will be my honour to rip you apart and suck out your blood."
He hissed and lunged, he had been told of how powerful this guy was but he didn’t think too much of it.
He figured those were exaggerations, after all he had just faced four other werewolves and they weren’t nothing to brag about.
A blood sword materialised on his hand, he raised it high above his head and his blood esper poured into it.
The sword grew larger and stronger, the blood esper inside it was so strong the sword lip like a beacon.
The surroundings were painted red but that was not all. The blood on the ground flew up and merged with the sword.
Yet his target did not move, his silver eyes were as cold as ice and his face was blank, he couldn’t tell whether he was angry or scared.
It was as if he was fighting a puppet. Then his eyes shifted towards the other werewolves, he wanted to see the despair of watching their king die.
The hopeless of seeing the strongest of them having his head chopped off in front of their eyes.
"Watch, watch you foolish dogs as your king perish in front of you and despair. Tonight you will all learn the mighty of noble vampires.
I’m not like those fools you’ve taken down, I’m a noble VISCOUNT, DIEEEE!" He swung down his massive sword.
He grinned, he could already see the silver heard flying through air with a blood spurting out like a fountain.
Then he looked at the other werewolves, instead of despair he only saw disdain in their eyes.
That look they were giving him gave him a terrible feeling. He shoved that feeling in the back of his mind.
The sword drew a red arch through the air, clang. The sound of colliding metal reverberated inside the entire barrier.
Even Annie and her family paused, the werewolves also froze. " I wasn’t expecting that." Athi whispered.
Annie watched with a beating heart. Back in the street. The vampire froze, of everybody he was the most shaken.
His hands started shaking, they were covered in his own blood as the skin was ripped apart.
He watched as the wolf kind slowly raised his hand and reached for the sword on his neck.
Yes, Adrian had not blocked nor avoided the sword, it failed to cut through his skin and he did not even use any ability.
Adrian’s hand moved slowly, the vampire tried to pull back his sword but found himself unable to move it.
Then he realised Adrian had grabbed it with two fingers. His hand moved so fast it created an illusion of it moving slowly.
" Ahhhhhh." The vampire roared and was about to attack him again when he pinched the sword.
The blood sword sword as strong as steel cracked. The force travelled through the blade like lightning.
The vampires hands were ripped to shreds and his bones were shattered to fragment, he tried to jump back and fell.
’ Wh..what is happening, what is this thing I’m feeling?’ he had lived for thousands of years as a noble.
Born into a Viscount house, his life had always been easy. ’ Oh I see, it’s fear, what I’m feeling is fear.’
That realisation did not help him in the slightest. He crawled back trying to escape but his body struggled to move.
His legs had turned soft and his heart beat faster than lightning. " Please please don’t kill me I’ll do anything."
He found himself begging but he didn’t care anymore, nobility be damned, his life mattered more.
Yet all his of pleas fell into deaf ears, a powerful hand gripped his neck and lifted him up.
His knees dangled above the ground, he looked at Adrian with pleading eyes, Adrian pulled him closer.
" You’ve tried to touch what is mine, but even God can save you." His voice was as cold as ice chilling the heart of the vampire.
" No please no..." The vampire tried to beg the boom, he exploded like a blood balloon yet not even a drop of blood touched Adrian.
He sighed, the anger in his eyes subsided a little bit.
" Adrian?" He heard a sweet yet terrified voice behind him.
