CHAPTER 8: Invitation Of A Crazed Moon
Previously on Vampire Killer:
Meanwhile, the girls are having an activity when Negi called Asuna. She had told her partners, and they're off to the Yamato Shrine. Chris Belmont was well aware of this and he followed them on the way there.
As they ran towards the shrine, the vampire hunter caught a glimpse of Camilla flying low across the sky.
She smirked, before throwing an envelope at the hunter.
Chris caught the item before she disappeared again.
---
"She got away again." Negi said.
Once again, Camilla was able to avoid Chris, but she sure knows how to taunt the vampire hunter. Unknown to anyone else except the blue-garbed hunter, Chris tore open the envelope Camilla threw at him when she tries to run away.
The contents of the letter read:
Dear vampire hunter…
Now I have at least most of your friends and your friend's siblings in my hands. You sure have a lot of stamina, don't you? Everything you tried to stop me will fail. Give up your title as a vampire hunter and come meet me at the place where Eva is now. Do not tell anyone.
Signed,
Camilla AK McDowell.
As he finished reading the letter, the vampire hunter seethed in anger.
What the hell? Give up my responsibility? I'll sure she'll have a good beating... Guess that I had no choice, but to confront her.
Chris had an instant idea when some thoughts entered his mind. He went back to his dorms, changing clothes before sneaking out again.
"One way or another, I was about to find out."
-Evangeline's Resort-
"You sure have a lot of stamina, don't you, Evangeline, my poor little sister?"
Eva was leaning on her back after Camilla ambushed her. Without a Magistra or a Ministra Magi with her, she's open to Camilla's all-rounder attacks.
"What do you want from me, Camilla?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just love the way your face looks like when I beat you up." She said. " I wonder what will that charming vampire hunter will think if he sees you like this."
"What…?" Why is Chris coming?
"He's strong and perfect-looking. Even though we're supposed to be enemies to the grave, I can turn the tables over." Camilla stopped in mid-speech. "Turn him into the dark side."
"Why are you after him?"
"I did this just for fun. The same reason you used."
"You can't do anything to him." Eva warned
Camilla came over and tipped Eva's chin with her index finger.
"You don't know anything about the Dark Arts, Eva. I can do a Forced Pact with anyone because of my mastery in the Dark Arts. I'm much better than you, that's a fact." She smiled fiendishly. "Now if you excuse me, I got an appointment to follow."
Outside, a thunderstorm was brewing.
Chris marched towards Eva's resort dressed in a black trench coat worn over a black shirt, black trousers and boots. He then arrived at the resort with Camilla waiting.
"Special delivery."
"My, you look charming today."
"No flattering words, okay?"
"So you're ready to join me, is that right?"
"Never."
Chris stood ground as the lightning flashed across the sky, before thunder cracked.
"One more thing, Camilla. The boss is not here, but she says bye."
With a swift dash, the vampire hunter raced towards Camilla, swiping his feet at her. The vampire on the other hand dodged it, and she called her servants. All of them swarmed at once, but he was way ready.
"Hydrant Star!"
As the downpour started, most of them were immobilized. Chris took this chance to attack one of Camilla's male servants, dressed in tuxedo.
"Chris…"
Like a kung fu master, he stepped on the student's chest, lifting himself to the air and then he proceeded to kick the student on air.
One of the vampires tried to attack Chris from behind, but something rushed at him and kicked the vampires out of the scene.
"Am I late?" Amar Ma'aruf asked.
"Nobody asked you to come."
"We've come because we felt obliged too."
Chris smirked. "Hey, The more the merrier."
Negi, Kotarou and the others arrived after the hanyou came.
"We have a score to settle with Camilla, so gear up."
Chris didn't say anything, but he called his Vampire Killer from the void before throwing into his stance.
"Negi! Kotarou! You two go first! The others come with us!"
"My pleasure."
Then, the team divided into two. One in defeating Camilla and the other is to take out the vampires, formerly students bitten by either Evangeline or Camilla. Fierce lightning and thunder still could be heard.
All of them exchanged blows, whips lashes, claws, magical arrows and spells. The ones who could get to Camilla was increasing too.
Damn it… if this goes on, I'll have no space to attack! I must separate them and carry out the Forced Pactio on that hunter!
Nodoka, who was with her artifact, Diarium Ejus, saw this coming.
"Chris-kun! Dive to your right!"
"What? Uh… okay!"
Without any more questions, he dived away, avoiding the magical circle. The circle glowed and extended, forcing Chris to keep dodging. He had a space on air, and he did an item crush on air.
"Grand Cross!"
Right after that, Negi tried to disarm Camilla.
"Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister, Flāns Exarmātiō!" (Lit: Blow Forth and Disarm) He yelled.
In an instant, Her closthes burnt away, leaving her in her undergarments. Chris took his chance to perform his Dagger Crush.
"Dagger Wave!"
Chris' daggers came swiftly towards the vampire. However, Camilla' male servant dived in the way. As a result he got stabbed by those daggers. Chris quickly jumped up to cancel the Item Crush.
"!"
"Ah, it's a good thing that it's not me."
"You despicable blight! How dare you use them as a human shield!"
"It doesn't matter. I should be going now."
She disappeared yet again, making Amar Ma'aruf and the others irritated.
"Is he alright?"
"I hope so- OH MY GOSH!"
"What?"
"It's Azman! Oh no, if his father found out about this, we'll be dead for sure!" He yelled.
"Let me handle this." Konoka said. She came over to Azman and healed the wounds on his body.
Seconds later, his eyes fluttered open.
"Where am I?"
Azman looked around and saw everyone in their respective costumes.
"What's going on?" He asked, growing even confused.
"We'll explain this later. Let's go home guys."
