CHAPTER 14: Vampire Killer/Divine Bloodlines
As Amar and the opposing team were running down the hallways of Camilla's Castle, they helped themselves in fending off the vampire menaces.
"Twenty down, two to go!"
"Hey, did anyone seen Sakura?"
"No."
"Darn it! Camilla claimed that she took her with her… I still can't find her scent anywhere!"
Sherry and Resha came running beside Amar Ma'aruf. "Amar-koinu-chan, we remembered that we saw Sakura before Camilla turned us into vampires. She should be in here somewhere."
Suddenly, the team stopped moving.
"What is it?"
"Dead end."
"That's no dead end." Chris told him. "Let me try this."
But before he could do anything, Chris was thrown back few meters away after being shot with an energy sphere. The vampire hunter skidded to a stop to prevent himself from crashing into anything.
"That was one heck of a shot… who the heck are you?!"
A pair of eyes gleamed in the darkness when Chris asked his question. His friends too were staring at that pair of eyes in a distance.
"I won't allow anyone to meet Mistress Camilla, not even you, Chris Belmont." A female voice echoed.
It's Sakura… but her scent is different! There's no doubt about it…"How about the three of us fight you alone and we'll see about that." Chris retorted. At once, Amar Ma'aruf, Negi and Evangeline rose up to fight.
---
As a starter, the vampire hunter threw his standard 3-set daggers at the possessed Sakura but she blocked it with a red magic circle. However, instead of it ricocheting off the shield, it turned into red shrapnels that home into Chris. He blocked it off by his Vampire Killer whip.
This is when Eva and Negi joined in to counter her.
"Lic Lac La Lac Lilac, Veniant spīritūs glaciālēs obscūrantēs, cum obscūrātiōne flet tempestās nivālis! Nivis Tempestās Obscurāns!"
"Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister, Veniant spīritūs āeriālēs fulgurientēs, cum fulgurātiōne flet tempestās austrīna! Jovis Tempestās Fulguriēns!"
Both Eva and Negi unleashed their Ice and Lightning spell simultaneously at Sakura. It hit her full force but when the smoke clears, she's still standing there, not affected by the spells whatsoever.
"Damn it! She's tough!"
"How about this? Hydrant Star!"
And the moment the water droplets hit her, Chris attacked. This time, he managed to hit her too. During the drizzle, Eva saw what was making the spells useless.
"There is a magical barrier there, isn't that right?"
"Yes."
As she stopped talking, the invisible barrier shines. "You should have a better effort of defeating me before you can get to Mistress Camilla." She incited.
"Eva."
"What is it?"
"Don't ignore me but when we're at the void, I can see you use the Item Crash."
"So, what's about it?"
"This means, like Amar Ma'aruf, we can invoke a powerful Crush, and we can get to Camilla."
While Eva and Chris are busy conversing to each other, Amar and Negi took turns in attacking the possessed Sakura. Amar was trying to get his best closest to Sakura in order to break the barrier.
For the last try, Amar Ma'aruf charged his powers.
"You can do it!"
"Wish me luck, Negi." He said to Negi, before dashing towards Sakura. "Here goes! Barrier Breaker!"
"Chris!"
"Right!" He replied.
"Dual Crush - Grand…CROSS!"
The moment Eva and Chris executed the Item Crush, the possessed Sakura was hit by the cross stars that emerged from the grounds. That didn't take too long until she fell back, defeated.
"Sakura! Sakura, are you alright?" Amar asked as he ran towards the young girl.
She didn't answer but Amar heard Sakura murmur saying that she's alright.
Within seconds, she vanished, along with Negi's friends. The ones who were left behind were Amar himself, along with Chris, Evangeline and Negi.
Finally, the last hallway re-emerged and the four of them walked through it to get to the Master's Keep.
"Let's get this over with."
A/N: Phew… I hadn't made any updates for a long time, didn't I? Here's the new progress of it! Read on and review! TQ!
