What is going on in here?!

When we rushed into the room, instead of finding the Sect Master waiting for us or something, what we find is an utterly terrifying scene.

Lord Ice Moon looked at me with desperation, his eyes almost devoid of any light as his blood was being extracted from his body live rivers floating in midair!

"W-What is this?!" asked Benladann in shock.

"What…!" I muttered, looking at the scene in awe and disbelief.

The several mysterious figures immediately glared at us in utter anger. As if we had interrupted them from their banquet.

"Unnggh… Aaghh! D-Drake…?! H-HELP!"

Lord Ice Moon asked me to help him?! but he's so prideful!

Ah well, he's being literally drained out of his lifeblood by vampires, understandable.

The mysterious figures glared at us with crimson-red eyes.

"Huh? I didn't know we had guests." Said one of the Vampires, with the voice of a woman.

"I didn't know Lord Ice Moon had guests either!" I said, as my body was shrouded in my magical power and I flew towards them in an instant!

FLAAAASH!

That's right, there's no point in talking, I am going to capture them before even asking them a single thing, the life of this dude is not of my concern, but there was something within me that couldn't let him die so miserably.

I mean, he was a Rank 4, I thought he would go down honorably, not like this!

And I didn't want these Vampires to escape from my grasp either. If possible, I would love to devour their Mana Cores!

FLAAAAASSSSH!

"S-So fast!"

One of the three Vampires muttered words of surprise as all three of them quickly leaped aside from Lord Ice Moon, he was barely hanging on his life.

BOOOM!

I reached the floor near him, cracking it open as the Vampires looked at him with surprise and fear, but also anger! They looked willing to fight. They bared their fangs and even hissed at me.

"D-Drake…!" muttered Lord Ice Moon. He looked old and weak, I honestly felt bad.

"Here."

I cut open my wrists and filled his mouth with blood. My blood had a powerful healing factor, his wounds immediately closed as I conjured a healing spell on him, and then, I deposited him inside of my Dreamscape a second after, making him disappear from the scene.

"W-What kind of magic…? He disappeared?!"

"Was that teleportation magic?!"

"No, I didn't saw any space attribute essence within him…"

The three Vampires were left shocked as they saw Lord Ice Moon disappear out of thin air. Those that were not knowledgeable nor proficient in dream magic or illusion magic would never be able to see the effects of dream magic in detail unless I wanted to make them visible.

This also allowed me to strike with it! And as this entire city was now my Domain, the power of Illusion and Dreams was overflowing through my body like constant rivers of pink energy, the power of my Illusion and Dream spells had increased to new levels of effective power.

And I was able to quickly abuse this, as I waved my hands and conjured several Dream Clouds that can induce sleep in anyone that touches them that has a weak enough will, as I threw them at the three Vampires, filling the entire room with them!

POOF!

"W-What is this pink cloud?!"

"Ungaggh…!"

"T-This is dream magic!"

The woman realized the power of my magic and its element, while she struggled to not fall asleep, her two lackeys were constantly falling asleep for a second and waking up a second after, feeling dizzy and unconcentrated!

And that's when we struck, within the dizziness of the moment and the power of my clouds which covered the entire room and gave them the immense desire of falling asleep, Benladann and I rushed towards the two with our weapons in hand!

CLASH!

Benladann's axe clashed against one of the Vampires, slicing off his left arm and part of his torso, as blood began gushing out like a river.

SLASH!

"GRYAGGH…! YOU DAMN…!"

The Vampire quickly evaded her powerful next attack, as he jumped high into the air and generated dozens of blood needles, firing them at her!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"HAHAHA! These needles are coated in the poison I can secrete! Now you're paralyzed! I will have fun doing whatever I want with that body- Eh?!"

However, Benladann's entire body was completely unaffected! The thin needles didn't even pierce her hard skin, which now gained a small azure-colored scale coating. After all, she had become part dragon now, and one of her abilities was coating herself with scales. This coupled with her Ore Skin and Ice Dragon Skin Abilities made her skin incredibly sturdy!

"That's what you call an attack?!" roared Benladann, jumping from the floor and using her axe to unleash a fantastical combination of axe techniques and unarmed fighting techniques, coating herself in chaos and mold fused together into what she called Miasma!

Through this Miasma, her muscles became stronger and her reflexes faster, her axe flashed with darkness as it began to slice through the vampire's body while he defended with a blood blade that constantly cracked into pieces and regenerated back!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The Vampire used the power of his eyes, releasing rays of brainwashing light towards her, but she easily negated them with her own Charm through her eyes, making him dizzy as she kicked him in the chin.

The man fell over the ground in agony as his body slowly regenerated back, even his sliced limbs were now growing back, Benladann was left speechless, that regeneration speed was only a thing of my own after all!

"You're a tough nut to crack!" Said Benladann, overpowering the Vampire with her monstrous titanic strength!

Meanwhile, I was fighting two at once!

While the one Benladann fought was agility-based, I was fighting with one that was magic-based and the other that was physical strength-based.

And they were quite tough!

CLASH! BOOM!

"Heh, you're not bad for an Ice Giant barbarian!"
