Chapter Eighty- One

Rasalium

Rei glanced around herself as she felt a shift in the air. She could smell it…there was someone there…and before she could even move she heard the sound of thunder before something slammed straight against her, sending her flying backward through a house and sliding unto the ground.

The Vampire gasped in pain as she started to stand up again.

Then black thunder appeared around her before a form take shape in front of her. It was a long haired man, his yellow eyes staring straight at her.

"A nice welcome Angel Bearer," he said.

Rei narrows her eyes at him.

"You`re SEELE," she said.

"Yes," the man said, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Sandalphon, the Fourth General."

"What do you want with me?" Rei asked.

Sandalphon smirked.

"But to kill you of course," he answered.

That caused the vampire to blink in confusion.

"Why would you want to kill me?" she asked, "You already have the Angel Tears."

"It is true that we have them," Sandalphon said, with an approving sound, "But assembling the Angel Tear`s seems to have invoked an ancient spell called Rasalium. It is the cause of why you are here on Paradise."

"Rasalium," Rei repeated, glancing down at the symbol on the back of her hand.

"That`s right," Sandalphon told her with a light smirk, "If I kill you and the other bearer, nothing will be standing in the way of Paradise."

Black lightning started to appear around his body...thought they concentrated more around his hands as he raised them.

"I`ve heard you Vampire were fast," he said, his smirk widening, "I wonder how fast…"

Lightning appeared around Rei who was shocked since she hadn`t felt their presence then…pure pain ran through her body as the lightning overwhelmed her.

"Scream for me, Rei Ayanami," Sandalphon said as he threw his hands toward her again.

Black lightning hit Rei causing the vampire to yell out again as she was send flyling backward crashing into another building causing a crater to appear there. She then, slid down upon the ground, groaning in pain and she had an eye opened on the look-out for the enemy.

Damn…without any magic, she thought, I don't stand a chance against him…

She blinked, a thought coming upon her head. She was remembering what Lilly had told her…She can`t believe she had forgotten about it…even if it was just before all of this started…

You may not have magic but you`re still a Vampire, a pureblood descendant of Vlad Drakul. You`re still faster and stronger…and you still have those instincts…we`ll use them as our weapons. We are not out of this fight yet Rei.

Rei found herself chuckling.

Oh! What would I be without you Lilly, she thought as she stood back up, I am still a Vampire after all…why the hell am I whining about having no magic?

The blue-haired vampire still felt weak though. It`s almost like she hadn`t fed for at least a month…

I guess…with the Angel Tear fueling my body with strength…I didn`t hunt for blood as often as I did in the past. Now without that, it makes me weaker.

A clap of thunder drew her attention as Sandalphon appeared on the roof of a house in front of her.

"I`ve heard great things about you," he said looking down at her, a smug look on his face, "I guess facts and stories of the past are two different things."

A smirk crossed Rei`s face causing him to blink.

"What`s so funny?"

Rei`s red eyes were staring at him with renewed vigor.

"You think because you`ve got magic power makes you all that? Don`t make me laugh."

She raised her hands toward him, doing a come on motion.

"Come here and I`ll show you what it's like to tangle with a pureblood Vampire."

Sandalphon had a smirk of his own as his black lightning started to appear around his form.

"Well if you want to die," he said, "Then who am I to deny it to you?"

He moved fast aiming straight toward the stationary Rei as he threw his arm forward, which was covered with lighting, in a stabbing motion. The explosion of the attack exploded the building Rei had been leaning against and to Sandalphon`s surprise…he didn`t stab the Vampire.

She was able to dodge me? He thought, surprised.

"There is one thing you need to know when fighting a Vampire," Rei said as she appeared behind him.

Her red eyes were blazing and her entire expression was…hungry looking.

"Never attack a hungry one," she said as her fangs appeared.

Then she bit down on his neck, draining him of blood. Sandalphon yelled out in pain as he fought to throw the vampire from his form.

"Damn you, Get the fuck off," he yelled.

But Rei held on still, continuing draining him of blood. Sandalphon started to feel his strength diminish…

My magic…is weakening, he thought, I have to get out of her grip…somehow…?

He transformed himself into lightning as it flashed out of Rei`s grip, letting her fall on the ground in a crouch. Sandalphon appeared a little way away, holding his shoulder where Rei had bitten him.

"You`ve…,"

Rei herself hadn`t felt that powerful in a long time. She stood up straight wiping her mouth of the blood.

"It`s seems for you your magic power is in your very blood," she said, "I don`t think I`ve ever felt so powerful before…"

Black lightning started to appear around her form, a grin growing upon her face.

"Wow," she said examining it, "I`ve also gotten your ability."

Sandalphon was scowling at her. The lightning started to travel around his body.

"You little bitch…,"

Rei raised a hand toward him, one which had the lightning around it.

"C`mon," she grinned showing her fangs, "Let`s get this over with."

"I`ll fucking kill you," Sandalphon yelled at her, lightning covered his form.

He charged toward Rei moving at lightning speed and Rei matched him head on as the two started to exchange blows, causing the area around them to shake. Rei was blocking and dodging with a speed that even surprised and shocked Sandalphon, but the Path wasn`t letting her get the best of him.

"You may be copying my ability and my style of combat," he said, "But you can`t copy this."

Black lighting started to appear around his entire body taking it over entirely.

"Lightning Twister," he yelled throwing it toward Rei causing her to widen her eyes at the size of the blast as it took out a number of ruins in it`s devastating attack.

Meanwhile

Mirror looked at the ruins that had materialized in front of her. After so long, she had returned to that place. Not once she thought that she`ll ever see that wretched place again.

"This is Paradise," Lilly said, "Not what I expected."

"So does everyone said," Mirror told her giving her a glance, "We have to find Rei and Asuka fast…"

The two Hunters nodded at her thought they are still looking around, taking in the place. Mirror glance around again, tightening her fists a little. She didn't want to stay in this place longer than she needs to…since she had turned her back upon the others a long time ago…

Adam blinked a little feeling a familiar presence causing him to smirk a little.

"So you`ve returned," he murmured.
