Mark jumped backward and waved his hand.
Instantly, a rifle; a Barrett M82 floated from a soldier’s corpse and shot towards Mark. He then grabbed it and aimed towards Dracula who was fighting against Bernard and Yoyo.
Narrowing his eyes, he kept his sight on the Dracula while weapons in the air were still constantly shooting towards the monster.
Dracula started retreating back a few steps in anguish.
"Maggots!!!" Blood that was scattered on the ground floated and suddenly turned into sharp cones. Then, it shot towards Mark and the others.
On the other hand, as expected of the well-known Hades, although he was still not using necromancy due to the Church’s blessing on him – Daniel and the others told him to keep it a secret from the church for now, so he only used his basic skills such as his Devil Fruit, Bernard was still something.
His movements seemed awkward whenever he evaded the Vampire’s attacks.
Each time one would think he was going to be hit from one of the attacks, they would discover he miraculously survived by dodging, rolling, or jumping out of the way at the very last second.
More or less, he appeared to be more scared than hurt as he survived every encounter without mishap.
The Vampire Lord indignantly roared as it hoisted its arm into the air and swiped at Bernard but before he could do that, Yoyo suddenly magically appeared under him. “Eat this! Flame Scythe!”
Woosh! Woosh! Several flame blades in a crescent moon figure appeared from her hand and bombarded the Vampire Lord.
“Aaaah!!” Dracula wailed in pain as he was sent flying in the air.
“You're too open,” At this moment, Mark who was waiting for the right moment smiled and Bang! Bang! Bang! Pulled the trigger, shooting the Vampire Lord.
Smokes flew off its body and into the air as magic poured from the sky.
However, “How Dare you!!” Two vampire women immediately protected the Vampire Lord and repelled the magic.
Vampire Brides! Mark, Bernard, and Yoyo simultaneously frowned.
They had almost forgotten these monsters…
With the help of his Vampire Brides, Dracula managed to regain his bearing.
“You inferior maggots!!!” Dracula’s face distorted in anger as his body started to transform into a horrid appearance. Large pointed ears and fangs. The Vampire Lord’s current appearance now looked like a huge monster bat.
In a rage, Dracula raised its foot into the air and then forcefully stamped on the ground.
BOOM!
As if a giant hammer strike the surface, the stamp transmitted a powerful force deep into the earth which violently shook the ground.
Soon, large fractures began forming on the surface, spreading to the nearby surroundings, appearing as if they would rend the entire world asunder.
Then powerful shock waves erupted from the depths, pouring volatile magical energy onto the surface.
The warriors fighting in the surroundings felt their hearts tighten as they witnessed the tyrannical might of the Vampire Lord’s anger because likely then and there, they would have been instantly killed if they were near that place.

This is the strength of the Vampire Lord…?!
Yoyo jumped back and immediately made some hand seals, “Shakuton: Kajōsatsu!” in an instant, several flaming orbs, resembling small suns materializes around her.
“Die and evaporate, you monsters!!”
Yoyo waved her arms and controlled the small flaming orbs and fires it towards Dracula.
Feeling danger, Dracula immediately turned into bats and scattered but one of the Vampire brides was hit by the attack,
“Gyaaaahhhh!!” The Vampire bride screamed in agony as her body slowly wilted and dried, emitting steam from inside her.
Pop! The desiccated Vampire Bride fell to the ground and slowly turned to ashes.
“Noooo!!” Dracula cried out as he saw the Vampire Bride died, “My Precious!!!!” similarly, the two Vampire Brides cried while looking at the ashes. Aggrieve and full of anguish.
“How dare you!!” Dracula turned her gaze to Yoyo and charged at her. "I will make you replace her!!"
"No way, Vampire Brides doesn't have style~" Yoyo smirk and then she was engulfed in flames and disappeared.
At this time, Bernard stepped forward and intercepted the Vampire Lord, tackling the monster with his Rapid Charge, a technique that increased his speed while charging like a bull.
Though, before Bernard could reach Dracula, one of the Vampire Brides suddenly pounced on Yoyo who had appeared there in the opposite direction. The Vampire Bride was out for blood.
“Watch out!” several people cried out in alarm.
Seeing Yoyo about to be killed, many members couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Yoyo was one of their leaders and they hurriedly tried to save her. However-
In that instant, as if she had grown eyes at the back of her head, Yoyo suddenly pivoted her foot and dodged to the side.
The abrupt change in situation resulted in the Vampire Bride’s claw harmlessly brushing past her.
The warriors and knights and a few other who witnessed the scene all broke out into a cold sweat. The attack had missed by just the tiniest fraction of an inch. However, it was this small gap—this line of demarcation—that represented the pinnacle of skill.
Unlike the others, Yoyo wore an expression of complete calm on her face despite having been just a hair’s breadth away from death; she acted as if such a haggaring situation was merely an everyday occurrence.
“Die to this beautiful lady!!” Boom! A column of super hot flames appeared from Yoyo’s body.
“Gyaah!!” but the Vampire bride managed to evade it albeit, burning one of her arms.
“You ugly creature!!!” The Vampire Bride scream angrily but before she could attack again, “Bullseye!” Mark was already on locked at her.
Bang! Bang! With the sounds of gunshots echoing around the place, several bullets struck the Vampire Bride’s forehead and chest.
"Ah-!?" The second Vampire Bride's eyes widened in shock and like a marionette with its strings cut - she fell to the ground, dead! Her body slowly burned to ashes.
“Noooo!!!” Dracula once cried out. His pale face as if he was having difficulty breathing.
He swung his arm and Bernard was sent flying.
“I’m going to kill you, you human maggots!!!” Dracula’s skin suddenly transformed into a bright red that dazzled the eyes.
He was extremely angry and his unbeating heart burned in intense fury!
Ksssshaaaaaaaaaaaa......
The forest rustled uneasily, shifting from the sounds made by the forest inhabitants, who were running away with all their might from the immense demonic power.
The bugs, which had no means of sensing the danger, were unable to withstand the abnormal pressure and disappeared without a trace.
Even animals that were unable to escape perished from coming in contact with the dark energy.
It was about to go berserk!
... ...
... ...
On the other hand, Daniel and Maria were having an intense showdown against the Lycan Queen.
Maria cast holy barriers one after another, not for the sake of protecting herself but instead, she was creating a cage made of four barriers on four different sides.
Daniel soared into the sky.
He swung down his arms and several tridents made up of water suddenly appeared and shot down at the Lycan Queen.
“Petty Tricks!!” Lycan Queen snorted. Her fur suddenly stood up as if she was electrocuted and her fur released a metallic luster.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The water tridents summoned by Daniel was easily repelled by the Lycan Queen, showing how obscenely unfair her defense was.
Even the barriers around her broke with a casual swing of her paws.
Seeing this, Daniel hastily descended in front of Maria, continuously firing off his water blades and tridents against it.
The Lycan Queen smirked at Daniel’s actions and increased her speed, steadily closing the gap between her and Maria.
Maria frowned. God dammit! Why is it me, you stupid overgrown mutt!
Without a moment’s hesitation, she turned around and fled.
She only needed to take a single glance at the fearsome beast pursuing her from behind to understand that whoever was unlucky enough to suffer one of its attacks would undoubtedly die.
Even Daniel or Bernard wouldn’t be able to endure repeated strikes from the Queen of the Lycanthropes.
“Holy Net!!” Maria cried out. In an instant, a gigantic cobweb made up of light appeared out of nowhere and fell on top of the Lycan Queen, trapping it.
