Chapter 1364 Spatial Impact!
Chapter 1364 Spatial Impact!
Rain stood, confused, as Spade summoned strands of spatial energy to fight against Kar. When he threw away his jacket, an old tattoo on his back was revealed. She stared at the tattoo, shaped like a seagull, and her head began to ache.
"Why did you save me?" Rain asked, her voice laced with confusion as she held her aching head.
"I'm finishing what I started," Spade replied as the strands of spatial energy began covering his arms and chest. "I promised to protect you, didn't I?"
The words sounded like thunderclaps in Rain's ears. She stared, awestruck, at the familiar tattoo, and a memory resurfaced of the exact same scene. However, in her memories, the back before her was much smaller.
"Eros really sucks at choosing his subordinates," Kar said with a grin, raising his blood sword and looking at Sapphire behind him. "Let's see if the two of you can rival a calamity"
Sapphire and Spade rushed forward at the same time to bridge the distance between them and Kar. If they had any chance to inflict some damage on him, it wouldn't be from afar.
Space expanded and contracted as Spade sent a fist toward the calamity. Sapphire pushed away the small blood monsters as she retrieved a large harp from he dimensional ring. Her slender fingers plucked the strings, releasing countless blades of force that flew toward Kar.
"There was a time," Kar began with a grin as he released his sword, "when humans would faint at the mere sight of us. But it seems the world has forgotten the terror that calamities bring"
Kar let go of his sword, which disintegrated, and raised his hands as blood spilled from them onto the ground, rushing to form a giant circle. The moment Sapphire and Spade stepped into the circle, their bodies froze midair as if suspended in space.
"What is "Sapphire began, confused, as she pulled on the strings again, sending blades toward the calamity. However, blood rose to block her attacks before Kar twisted his hand.
Sapphire felt her body twisting and moving against her will, causing her to throw the harp aside. Spade stood frozen, struggling against his own body, which refused to obey him.
"Blood Domain," Kar muttered with a grin as his fingers moved, controlling the bodies of the two. "Humans are quite fragile, you see. Their bodies are made of so much blood... it's almost impossible for me not to control them."
At that moment, Spade disappeared and reappeared beside Rain, who was attending to Valeria and trying to stop her bleeding. Kar raised an eyebrow as he saw the teleporter escape his blood prison.
"That's why I despise spatial powers," Kar said before turning to Sapphire, still entrapped in his domain. "Oh, Rain! Your friend over here would die if all the blood inside her body stopped moving."
Rain was staring at the unconscious Valeria when she heard Kar's words. She raised her eyes to see Sapphire struggling. She looked at Spade, silently pleading with him to save her, but he shook his head.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I cannot create a portal without being close to the target," he said with a frown. "We need to attack him from here."
Spade then slammed his feet to the ground for solid footing. He raised both hands, stretching them toward Kar as spatial energy began gathering in his palms, compressing and expanding before Rain's eyes.
"That doesn't look safe," she said, frowning.
"Of course, it isn't. The reason teleporters can't fight with spatial energy is because it damages the body," he replied with a grin. "This is a little trick I learned back in Berilo. You take one deep breath..."
Spatial energy gathered more densely around his hands. Fissures appeared in the space around them as spatial compression and expansion created a small vortex around his hands.
Rain saw his hands becoming a mangled mess as blood gushed out nonstop. The spatial vortex turned into a small mass of instability, caring not for its owner. Spade then flashed a grin.
"Spatial Impact!"
Boom!
Spade released the energy in Kar's direction, and space rumbled, Rain felt the impact pushing her back, but Spade shielded her from it. The explosion shook the entire cave, destroying everything in its path.
Dust rose and settled, allowing Rain to open her eyes again. She saw Spade's hands fall helplessly to his sides, bleeding profusely. Every bone and finger in his hands was broken beyond recognition.
Spade let out a small, helpless laugh as he surveyed the destruction he had caused. Kar was thrown far to the other side of the cave, slamming into the walls. Sapphire had also been thrown, but she was freed from the Blood Domain.
"How dare... an inferior human..." Kar spat out, hovering inches from the ground. The path between them was obliterated by the attack, creating a gap. "I will make a puppet out of you, I swear!"
"Not even a scratch?" Spade muttered with a helpless smile. "A calamity indeed, Lord of Vampires. Listen here, Rain," Spade turned toward her. "There's something you need to know about your origins."
Rain looked at him, filled with fear, anticipation, and confusion. She couldn't understand how Spade would know about her origins, but she wanted to know.
Spade paused, gathering his thoughts before speaking. "You are "
"No..." a weak voice interrupted him. Rain flinched, looking down to see Valeria's eyes open slightly, despite her ongoing blood loss. "Don't tell her..."
"Tell me what?" Rain asked, hugging Valeria closer. "What are you hiding from me, Valeria? What is this place, and why do I remember it?"
Valeria pressed her lips together, turning her gaze toward Rain. She seemed torn between revealing the truth and protecting her. Then, tears streamed down her face. "I... never wanted you to know..." Valeria whispered as her tears flowed like a river. "I wanted you to be as far away from this place as possible."
"You can't protect me from the truth," Rain said, her lips trembling. "Sooner or later, I would have found this place. But I don't care about the truth anymore. Just don't die, you damned old witch."
