Soon, tens of HellSpires behind me unched forward with fiery vigor, the sound of whistlirating through my ears.

  Fwoosh!

  Fwoosh!

  Fwoosh!

  The vampires, halted by the power of Temporal Lock was uo resist and could simply watch as the HellSpire bullets swirled around them, pierg through their foreheads like homing missiles.

  Unfortunately for me, this was my first time using the ability of my Sacred Gear. So it didn’t take long for my trol over the Temporal Loinish, allowing the rest of the vampires to move again.

  Still, despite this, the bullets were relentless, despite trying their best to avoid it, some of them were still killed by the bullets.

  ‘This is burning through my reserves too much.’ I muttered to myself after sensing that almost half of my demoniergy has beeed.

  Maintaining the three spells in which eaption is very high, wasn't something I could do with ease.

  And so, seeing that the HellSpire bullets were no longer able to kill their targets, I deactivated my hold over them, cutting off the e between the bullets and my Demonic Power.

  Much to the relief of the remaining vampires who numbers could be ted in two hands, the bullets that were restless on chasing them, faded away.

  On my side, I noticed Serafall looking at the se with wide eyes. As if she couldn’t believe that such simple spell that is sidered basic, would have such devastating effects once used effectively.

  “How’s my performance?” Smirking in pride, I asked her.

  “…How did you do that? Those are just Demonic Bullets, right? How they be so lethal? They hardly pierce through the skin of a Mid-css devil. But yours is like cutting a khrough butter!” Fag me, Serafall barraged me with several questions, signifying her sheer curiosity.

  “As much as I’d like to answer you now. We’re still not on a proper situation to do a QnA.”

  “What’s QnA?” I heard Serafall mutter to herself, the question itself sounds more like she was asking herself.

  “…H-Human….You killed my brethren! Do you know what you have just done?! You’re deg war to our Tepes !” The previal and posed elder vampire, now looks disheveled, his clothes covered in mud mixed with the blood of his felloires who, unfortunately, are dead.

  “And your point is? You wao just stand here a you all kill me? You vampires are holy dumber than I expected. Those novels I read didn't give you enough justice.” Throwing them an insult, though the st sentence was more to myself, I grinned as the elder vampire fumed in anger.

  “You must be weakened nht? This Mirror Dimension you speak off, bined with those weird flying arrows. I don’t know how you mao kill so many of us in a single sed, but in the end, you’re out of mana!”

  ‘Huh, so they don’t know they were suspended in time. . I’m starting to love my Sacred Gear more and more.’

  Thankfully, I resisted the urge to monologue like a cliche vilin by telling them that I stopped their time hehey were unaware of what happened.

  “You’re right. I’m indeed out of mana. What’s it to you?” Smirking, I lied through my teeth, ‘firming’ his suspis.

  “Wait what? You’re really out of Demonic Power?” Even Serafall beside me, couldn’t believe it. So she asked me in a hushed tone.

  “I’m just gonhem take the initiative this time. I’m too bored to be the one rushing towards them.” I answered ba the same manner.

  My answer made Serafall look at me with a dull expression. Not expeg that the reason behind it was just because I don’t feel like the one initiating the fight.

  Grinning in fidehe elder vampire pointed his pointy nail at me and yelled at his panions.

  “Get him! I want to see his blood sucked and limbs mangled! Fail to do it, and none of you will live to attend the Blood Day!” As soon as he yelled, the remaining vampires, regaining fidence over the fact that I’m ‘out’ of demonic power, uheir figures towards me.

  As for me, I was occupied with the st sentehat the elder vampire just said.

  ‘Blood Day? What kind of a holiday is that?’ I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

  Stepping back, I dodged the first vampire’s d delivered a swift kick to his abdomen.

  Bam!

  With my enharength thanks to being a devil, the vampire I kicked was bsted across the forest, colliding with some of the vampires.

  Then I shifted my formation in a form of waving my four fingers at them, challenging the vampires to e at me.

  “I’ll deal with you myself!” So easy to provoke.

  Oher hand, I wasn't the only one being harrassed here as Serafall was also juring tless water and icicles that hurled towards the vampires, pierg through their bodies, injuring them on the process.

  Unfortunately, her spells weren’t like mine and it doesn't have any anti-healing properties, so she could only outpace the vampire’s regeion speed and kill them.

  I could also sehat she was holding back. Those icicles weren’t probably her strong ones.

  As an Ultimate-css devil, I knew she end all these vampires in a quick manner.

  Bae, unlike Serafall, I wasn't using any magic spells or such. Instead, I am maintaining the persona of running out of mana, res to using only my fists and kicks.

  Bam!

  Bam!

  Whether they attack me from the left ht, or even from my behind, my fists would always find its way on their faces.

  This is mostly thanks to my Time Sehe passive skill given by my Longinus.

  Time Sense basically enhances my perception of time, allowio experiehe world in slow motion. This ability activates instinctively in moments of danger or wheened awareness is necessary such as my current situation.

  The vampire’s cws that were rushing towards me, may look very fast and almost a blur to a normal human’s eyes but to me, it is moving in a snail’s pace.

  I feel like I could even solve several mathematical equations while the vampire’s cw is moving.

  Time Sense bined with my incredible speed as a High-css devil, the vampires that were onto me were no match, ead every single one of them faced death after crag their heads open.

  Literally.

  Before I k, only one Vampire was left. And si’s the only o alive, I decided to break the Mirror Dimension or else it would tio siphon my reserves and suck me dry.

  “How about you? Are you ing or not?” I dispyed my impatieny face as if to insult him. Which did its wonders as the elder vampire growled in anger.

  “Do you really think you two have won? This isn’t over yet. I haven’t used my ultimate ability yet!” While speaking, mist started to e out of his nostrils and ears, his skin slowly transf into mist as he tinued but this time, a victorious grin on his face.

  “I mostly refrain from using this as it es too muy life force but now, you forced me. No one has ever survived an enter with this abi-”

  “Dude. I’m not ied in whatever you’re saying. So stop yapping a on with it.” To be ho, I’m actually really annoyed right now.

  Do vilins really have a knaonologuing and revealing their trump cards?

  “…Arrogant fool.” Clig his tohe elder vampire’s entire body has already turned into a mist, spreading around me and Serafall, blinding our vision.

  His head, which was the only thi in his body that still plete, also became a mist.

  “S into smoke is your ultimate ability? ’t say I’m not impressed.” I said out loud, bearing a dull expression on my face.

  “I think I’ve heard of this ability of vampires before.” It was Serafall beside me who spoke.

  “Really? What does it do?” I asked.

  “It’s nothing much really, it’s just that we would be having a very hard time killing the elder vampire now. Not to mention, during this state, they could still use their racial ability which is maniputing darkness and shadow.” As if to prove her words right, tendrils made of darkness suddenly pierced through the mist, heading towards us.

  Thanks to my Time Sense, I was able to grab Serafall and jumped out of the way. Watg as the tendrils of darkness smashed on the ground.

  Boom!

  ‘So it’s powerful enough to create a rge crater? This would be troublesome. I’m not sure if I have spells that could deal with this mist.’ While muttering to myself, I was already thinking of whether I should create a spell that could perhaps allow me to kill the elder vampire.

  Suddenly, I was interrupted by a tug on my robe.

  “Hmm? What is it, Sera?” I turo look at her out of curiosity.

  “I have a way to deal with this. It’s actually quite easy. But it would take me a few seds to cast the spell.”

  “So I just o buy time for you to cast your spell?” I asked for firmation.

  “Yes. And also, I ’t be moved or I’ll be distracted. After all, I just created this spell a few weeks ag my fight against that Argel.”

  “You fought an argel? Wait, hold that thought, a ter once we’re finished here.”

  Nodding my head, I sensed aendril of darkness rushing towards us.

  With Serafall already w on her spell, I wore my Sling Ring and started juring spells wherever the tendril attempts to hit us.

  Everytime a tendril of darkness was about to hit either me or her, a portal would intercept the tendrils and even if it tens of tendrils came from different loy portal would always mao intercept them

  With my upgrades, creating multiple portals was no longer a problem.

  Heck, I’m not eveing from the stant creation of the portals.

  Not to mention my unique capability of having rapid demoniergy regeion and being able to recover while using it, I fidently say that I maintain this activity for an indefinite amount of time.

  “Are you ready!” After almost aire minute of stant bad forth of portals and tendrils, Serafall finally spoke.

  Creating another portal to stop a tendril, I turned back to look at her and saw a huge magic circle bearing the mark of the Sitri family, floating above her, the size beiimes rger than an average magic circle.

  “Is that it?” I asked, despite the obvious.

  “That’s right! I call this spell, [Frostfall Cascade]!”

  The hing that happened made my eyes widen in shock.
