April 8, 2003
It had been two months since the siege of Karthamere began. In the beginning when the army had arrived they had found ten thousand vampires and bakhtaks waiting for them in formation. The battle was pretty short, the fools had charged against them in full speed thinking the wizards would use the same tactics as in the last battle but they were disappointed. They had stronger wards but this time the whole force fired and they used even some of the Dactyl's siege engines and broke their wards before they could make contact and then an area momentum reversal spell had sent all of their army crushing into the mountain side and nearly seven thousands perished with the wizard having no actual losses. The remaining vampires and bakhtaks were forced to retreat to the keep but not before the vampires and scorpion-men's launched curses and venom balls and a few of them got lucky and killed thirty of ours but not before losing another eight hundred to the wizards fire.
Harry moved alongside the camp inspecting his soldiers and the siege engines. The siege engines resembled catapults and they absorbed a spell cast by a wizard and then replicated it and increased the spells power a hundred fold. Harry's psionc abilities had increased a lot, by now he could move a few hundreds kilograms using telekinesis, he had developed some basic telepathy but it was in its early stages so it was pretty weak, Harry had discovered that he had empathic abilities and he could feel the emotions of everyone in his army at the same time( luckily he had discovered how to turn it of) but he still couldn't draw power from them, his ability to sense magic had increased to the point where he could feel even the Manes battle against the Antero Vipunen, another ability he had gained was that this psionic abilities increased his intelligence or as Harry said helped him "connect the dots"
Harry felt a presence come in the camp and recognized it as belonging to Elliot and he ran towards it. He found Elliot waiting for him with his scythe, Hellreaver, glistening with blood which showed that he had just came from a battle
"So another victory I suppose"-Harry said while pointing at the blood covered war scythe.
"Of course, what did you expect"-Elliot said while grinning.
"So anything new?"-Harry asked
"Yes, one of my soldiers reported to have heard an Antero Vipunen mumbling something about an Elemental Warlord waiting for us within the castle"-Elliot said looking worried.
"An Elemental Warlord, what is that"-said Harry.
"A vampire so old and powerful that can control all the elements with just his natural abilities while a normal vampire can control only fire and electricity and as if that wasn't enough they have insanely powerful magic , in comparison a Blood Warlock was a mere apprentice"-Elliot concluded.
"Okay that is a bad news, but what doesn't make sense is why he didn't attack during the whole siege, okay I get the initial battle but this entire time"-Harry said while in his mind raced possible scenarios.
"Probably he felt it was beneath him as most of them are clan leaders and I mean leaders not just war leaders Elliot said.
"Or there is something very important within the castle he couldn't risk letting defenseless, either way we will find out in less then two days"-Harry said.
"So you have finally found a way through"-Elliot said sounding eager to finally fight some vampire and not just Antero Vipunnen.
"No but good old fashioned brute force has taken a toll on their wards despite their attempts to strengthen them so in about two days their wards will collapse"-said Harry
"Good it is getting boring killing just Antero Vipunen"-said Elliot with a devious smile
"Well that's the bad news I need you to lead the Manes in the underground fight and not to allow any Antero Vipunen or reinforcements to enter that keep while we enter it"-said Harry flinching at the expression on Elliot's face
"As you say, sire"-said Elliot while disappearing into their dimension.
April 10, 2003
Harry stopped for one moment to drink another replenishing potion (a potion that regenerates the body from all wounds, to a point, and fatigue) and he felt himself return to full health but to bad that potion couldn't just regenerate his core from the strain that it had been put under a week ago when he performed the ritual to became a true shape shifter (a power "Moody" had just invented which allowed one to transform into whatever creature he wanted real or not, there were limitations but that's the basic of it)
He felt the Elemental Warlock's power the moment their wards fell and he was freaking powerful, he could match Dumbledore's power (who was weaker than Voldemort) and he just wasn't powerful enough right now to defeat him so he would have to relay on cunning.
The keep had been transformed into a battlefield and there was fight in every corner two thousand vampires and bakhtaks were fighting twice as many wizards, Veela and goblins while the Manticores stood outside the keep and bombarded it because bombarding it with the Dactyls siege engines were to dangerous.
While the vampires & allies were being defeated without much causality (relatively) they were doing their best to leave nothing for the wizards & allies to settle in and so the keep was now in flames and Harry was doing his best to find the Elemental Warlord but vampires were continuously coming his way, he figured they were trying to keep him from reaching the main structure but the question was why? What was there of such an importance that the usually egoist vampires were laying down their lives?
He was just about to enter the main building when suddenly three fireballs came towards and he conjured his shield as fast as he could but it was very close. "Ignis torrentis"- Harry shouted and a column of flames shot out of his hand and engulfed two of the three vampires, the third barely sidestepping it in tme.
This vampire was clad in a heavy armor but moved as fast as if he didn't, this was going to be a tough fight. The vampire wordlessly launched a ball of greenish energy but Harry sidestepped it and whispered magus pyrobolumand a powerful explosion threw the vampire away. Harry used his magical enhanced speed to cover the distance quickly but before he could have a chance to hit him with Epilogue he disappeared in a sort of black mist, Harry felt his presence right behind him "Slipped" just in time to avoid a magic blast directed to his head. This meant this vampire specialized in spell casting rather than physical fighting which meant he could only take him down through outlasting his energy reserves or doing something he won't see coming, he opted for the second but the question was what since this guy had probably centuries of experience so he must know at least some tricks "oh well I'll make something as I go"-Harry thought to himself.
For ten minutes they fought using powerful spells but none could gain the upper hand until Harry saw an opening. "Chai coronae"said harry and a ring of primordial matter (it was matter mixed with pure magic which existed before matter started to cool down and form the heavier elements) surrounded the vampire and then it closed on him and the vampire disintegrated into golden dust, one would think that after a few centuries using magic one would learn how to cast Omni directional spells but that was for the best since it saved Harry some time.
Harry wandered the hallways for about ten minutes when he finally found the vampire, that guy was really fast moving. The vampire was burning piles of scrolls when he found him, so he tried to be as silent as possible and take him by surprise but the vampire just raised his head and looked him into his eyes, the vampire had the looks of a mid-twenties man, with black straight so unlike Harry's own unruly hair, with a lean, muscular built, a deathly pale complexion, his facial features would be considered handsome by most but the most striking feature in his face were his eyes, those eyes radiated power, knowledge and intelligence but not malice, contrary of everything he believed, that vampire was not inherently evil, dedicated to his cause and people yes but not malicious or evil.
"So they send a boy to do a man's work"-he said.
"Don't judge a book by its cover"-Harry said reading his sword and his mind racing with spells he could use against this particularly strong foe.
"I know that boy as I knew the man who said that for the first time"-he said his eyes showing regret-"don't fight me using your knowledge gained by Retroz, he was a bloodthirsty fool, I on the other hand have had three thousand years to hone my skills and blood thirst"
"So may I know the name of my opponent"-said Harry getting ready to counter any underhand tactics.
"Of course my name is Tebu"-he said drawing his sword or better his scimitar.
"Well isn't that a little Egyptian?'-asked Harry
"Of course because I was Egyptian while I was still a human, if my looks confuse you, they are a thing that comes with the transformation"-he conclude.
Harry attacked first, Epilogue clashed with his enemy's scimitar and both weapons were lit aglow by their magic battling themselves. For about ten minutes both combatants fought furiously but Harry couldn't find any opening in Tebu's guard and he had already given him a cuts, superficial cuts but wounds nonetheless. Harry tried to take him by surprise him by throwing a wordless cutting charm but that didn't work and he was forced gain in the defensive.
"You know you are the best opponent I have faced in this last one thousand years"-he said while at the same continuing to attack Harry.
"Thanks you are the best yet but then again being said by someone as young as me it doesn't really mean much"-harry said, he had decided to show him the same respect he had shown him , after all he was the greatest swordsman and spell caster he had ever faced, in comparison Retroz was a mere toddler.
The fight increased in intensity until Tebu got a telepathic message and with a wave of his hands pinned to the nearest wall and then he left. Harry quickly got rid of the force keeping him pinned to the wall, he got it was Tebu's full powered spell but even so if Harry was in his full power that wouldn't even affect him. With is magic enhanced speed e was quick to catch up but before he could cast or make any other move a portal to the Antero Vipunen's dimension and he jumped in. Harry to enter into it before it closed and he found himself at what he could describe only as a gigantic underground gallery lit by crystals which glowed with every color known to man and some other not known.
"Do you have a death wish wizard"-said the vampire with a bored expression on his face.
"I guess I do"-Harry said before attacking him with all his fury.
The fury didn't last long and after a couple of minutes was again forced into the defensive but this time there was no telepathic message to stop Tebu from killing him and after a few more minutes he felt his arms grow heavy, his lungs burn from the strain the had been put under and his moves getting slower until with a complex move Tebu finally arrived to stab him with his scimitar. Luckily he had been capable of deflecting it in the last moment so it didn't touch his heart, bad news, the scimitar had been so close to his heart that it won't actually matter.
The vampire recognizing a fatal wound turned around to leave. In that moment he felt something inside his core, something recently added, he recognized it as his new true shape shifter powers although they shouldn't have been ready to use at least for another week, he figured that it was a combination of crossing dimensions coupled with this life threatening situation that gave him access to his new powers, and who was he to refuse such a gift. Harry focused into transforming into an animal that was immortal also that animal was fictional but then this was the moment of truth after all so why not push it a little. In that instant Harry could feel his body explode in fiery pain as he transformed.
The vampire felt the magic concentration and turned around to find himself face to face with a phoenix made entirely from bright blue flames and before he could react the Phoenix/ Harry fired a stream of blue fire laced with so much phoenix magic that it could hurt anything less than a divine being (that was exaggerating a bit but you get the point) and the Tebu was consumed in the fire and became dust. Harry looked around the tunnel, now he needed to find a Mane or if that failed he could always try to go to another world and then jump back to his original world since dimension jumping was a bit tricky into a dimension you didn't transport yourself. At that point a pair of Antero Vipunen appeared fro around the turn of the gallery and the moment they saw him their expression broke into a malicious sneer.
"The to think I would fall to a pair of them, but on the other hand it's a great opportunity to test my new powers"-Harry thought to himself as he began to visualize a gigantic vampire-werewolf hybrid. The idea came from muggle fiction which depicted them as beings with practically limitless powers and no weaknesses, which was to a certain extent true since they would only have a weakness from silver since both races had a weakness to it, their powers would increase thousand folds and considering the nature of their magical existence new powers would be gained in almost ninety for cent of the possibilities (or so said Moody). However that wasn't meant to be as before he could transform one of the giant's heads rolled down and within a second the second giant's heads was resting beside the first giant's head. in their faces were still etched their feral grins behind them stood none less than Elliot himself. He had a smug grin etched across his face as he approached a unarmed Harry.
"So you got in some trouble, I think you should be glad I felt your magic flare up from a few miles a way and that they can't"-he said pointing at the two dead giants.
Instead of answering him Harry just transformed into the hybrid form, which was reserved for the giants, but it would do to wipe that smug grin of the face of Elliot. As soon as he completely transformed, he growled right in Elliot's face and he acting from experience and fright slashed at Harry with his scythe but due to the way he envisioned the hybrid form the wound closed up immediately not leaving not even a scar, magical or otherwise, that would show that the wound was there in the first place.
"So the grand general got frightened"-said Harry still in his new hybrid form, his voice deeper than his human voice and power rolling off in waves.
"Shit that is heck of a useful power to have"-said Elliot regaining his bearings-"but then again I should have seen that coming since Merlin to had fun scaring the shit out of me using your same power or a different version but pretty similar."
"So friends again"-said Harry morphing back to his base form.
"Don't get so touché, I will get back for that scare you just gave"-said Elliot-"sending me to fight in this tunnels I can forgive but that I shall not, I declare a prank war officially started.'
"I should warn you I have a good a advantage over you"-said Harry.
"Oh yes and what may that be?"-asked Elliot.
"The bloodline of one of the three greatest pranksters in the world and their help"-Harry said showing him the resurrection stone.
"Well that's not fair"-pouted Elliot.
"I warned you"-said Harry.
Elliot opened a portal, which looked just like a ventilation shaft just capable of fitting at least four persons into it, and Harry took hold of Elliot's arm and soon they were speeding upwards and into the elemental warlord's office.
May 14, 2003
The past month had been very quiet for Harry, he had finally had the opportunity to catch up with his friends (Ron, Hermione and the rest of the DA which had survived) and the more fun part of it was the prank war that Harry and Elliot had started. He had discovered the Marauder part of himself that he didn't knew he had and had turned up that he didn't need the Marauders help in this war after all. The war had officially ended on May 8 when Elliot trying to avoid a bucket of water floating over his head had tried to transport in his home dimension but he had fallen into his greatest prank, a spell used to disrupt transport between the Manes original dimension and their universe modified a little to keep him in middle of the transition with only the upper half of his body in our universe while the rest in his original dimension. The cool part of the trick was that the part of the body that was in the other dimension had a little tickling hex (okay who was he kidding that was a major tickling hex) and the upper part was still connected so he felt it but he couldn't do anything. Harry had to give credit to Elliot, he resisted for two hours before breaking and giving in to the conditions placed by Harry.
The treaty was called the treaty of Clowns because he had to go around the Order of the Phoenix headquarters with his ethereal clothe morphed to look like clown uniform and saying whatever ridiculous phrases Harry could came up to everybody who passed by. The next highlight was the party that some young wizard had thrown, last night, and of course the Vampire's Bane was invited, when he woke up Harry figured that he could have consumed les Forest Delight (a wizard drink which contained no alcohol but it still got you drunk, or something pretty similar, it still gave you a headache if you consumed to much and made your memories fuzzy but in a few minutes they became clear again)
The real surprise was the incredibly beautiful witch, no correction Veela lying naked in his bed. Harry searched his mind on information on who she was, he remembered that he had talked (flirted) with some cute witches and latter that night with a few Veelas. Émeline Tomas was her name; the two had really liked each other although the two had agreed that this would be only a one night stand since he might or might not return from this war, well the real reasons were; that he knew he would have to return to Aleagasia eventually and he won't be using the time-stopped version of the jumping spell (the new version would allow him to choose a moment in the time flow to drop in but he would still won't be coming every day here and then return there since it would be really confusing) and he didn't feel comfortable starting a new relationship since he felt like he was betraying the memory of Ginny.
He then remembered he had to get to the Order of the Phoenix very quickly because the had finally arranged for a heavy military strike in the enemies rear lines with a group of one hundred of the best Wizards ,Veelas, Goblins and Manticores warriors . The reason of such an action was that the documents he had recovered in the Elemental Warlord's showed the best magic users the vampires had were to be gathered for a ritual that would happen today and would continue for at least 4 days in a ley lines intersection in the Balkans. From what the good understand this was some really powerful super weapon that would effectively end the war but they couldn't understand what the weapon was since the rest of the documents were burned into a cursed fire before he could save them.
He got there a bit late since the meting had already started and everybody stared at him when he entered with a rush in the war room.
"Sorry for being latte but I had some incoviniences along the way"-said Harry lying since the dely was him waking Émeline and apologizing for leaving so abruptly and the "Slipping' with his personal method directly into the headquarters.
"Oh, don't worry we get that you need some time to yourself"-said Alexandru while sharing a mischievous glance with Elliot
"Ok, than, what's the battle plan"-said Harry while sending a telepathic threat to Elliot, which made him pale even if he was ethereal.
"Its pretty simple, we found a gap into their perimeter"-said Alexandru pointing at one of the maps on the table-"well not a gap per se but there are only an estimated three hundred vampires on this spot.
"So there will still be a battle but won't it allow them to know we have found them"-asked Foulwing
"No if we attack quickly and with the power boost that we will get there it may be over in a few seconds and hopefully without any casualties on our side"-said Harry catching up with Alexandru's plan
"What mister Potter just said is indeed true that's why most of our task force will be composed of wizards since we get more of a boost than any other race"-said Alexandru.
"No one will even expect that we know since the Elemental Warlord was pretty powerful and supposedly burnt all documents before any of us could take him down"-continued Elliot.
" So after we dispose of the patrol we will strike directly for the defensive dome located in the middle of the enemy encampment, mister Potter here has assured us that he can take down the dome with a little help, so only twenty of us are going to attack the dome while the rest covers our back"-explained Alexandru-"once the dome falls we will be able to kill all the vampires within quickly since they must focus all their attention to the ritual and with them, well, dead the rest will just run away and hopefully they ask for peace once their super weapon project fails."
"Got it when do we leave"-said an over enthusiastic Ron
"In two days mister Weasly"-said Alexandru
May 16, 2003
It was an disturbing sensation for Harry to be travelling alongside one hundred of the best warriors of the wizarding alliance in the Mane's dimension tunnels as he felt all their eyes on him measuring him whether he was the legendary warrior who defeated an Elemental Warlord or just somebody who got very lucky. In order to prepare for this day Harry had used his true shape shifter powers to transform into a completely fictional race, which grew more skilled within hours as opposed to days, weeks and months needed by the other races,in order to became better in his use of meeleweapons and magic combat techniques, as his true shape shifter powers allowed him to conserve whatever skill he gained while being transformed, unfortunately he couldn't just gain power so he had to make do with skill. Soon a portal was opened and they were outside, before even half of them were out the vampire sentries felt them and came there immediately.
The power boost was incredible, it allowed the wizards that were all ready out to effectively blast their enemies away, the boost the vampires gained by being in such a magic saturated ambient negated by the immense difference on the boost that wizards gained (wizards gained the more boost out of all races although it could be harmful as too much magic channelized would destroy ones capacity to do so for quite some time if not forever). As soon as they all gathered, they headed for the center of the enemy encampment, it was shaped like a ring, the center was a few hundred meters away fro the tents which were placed in a circle, it was ingenious, protecting your troops from any backlash while at the same time creating an insurmountable barrier for any attacking enemies, to bad they left a weak spot.
As they approached the center, which was surrounded by a dome, visible due to the massive amounts of energy focused there, they were discovered, there was no shouting since telepathy was much more effective and only Harry's psionic abilities stopped them from walking into a trap. The attack was swift, meant to destroy unsuspecting enemies but since that wasn't the case it turned into a full blown battle, the vampires falling into their own trap lost three hundred soldiers quickly, to the wizard & allies spells and curses but once they regained themselves from the stupor of such an response to their tactic the pushed against the task force with all their numbers. It was a chaotic mess, spells and curse lit the battlefield and the extra power made it even more dangerous to move across the battlefield without the protection of an cooperative protection spell but for the five wizards and one Mane moving across the battlefield there was no choice, Harry's armor had taken the most of the damage caused by mega-powerful spells hitting the ground nearby but the rest of the group wasn't as lucky and all of them had scrapes and bruises from the pieces of earth not toped by their armors wards (personal wards being to dangerous to use in such a magic saturated environment, until further refinement)
Soon they were in front of the transparent dome made from swirling royal purple energy, it was an imposing barrier but it would fall thanks to the properties that plasma had on shields be them technological or magical (at least magical created plasma)
"Alexandru get in position and keep chanting the spell I gave and don't stop for any reason until that dome is down and then fire every curse and spell that can cause massive damage in there before they can recover from their ritualistic trance"-shouted over the incredible background noise caused by the fighting nearby them.
"Will do just be careful not to overdo yourself Harry, its to dangerous in here"-shouted back Alexandru before getting into position with the other three wizards and one Mane spellcaster.
"Magicum torrentis abluere sui praesidium"-chanted all the spell casters except for Harry who was preparing himself to cast the most powerful spell that he had in his arsenal. He saw as the magic summoned by his allies battered against the dome and he saw some fluctuation in this dome and he also saw a spot where the ward was at its weakest and then he whispered "ignis solarium fluvi" and then all hell broke lose, a gigantic stream of plasma came forward much like a river and it battered against the weak spot in the dome, the dome fluttered wildly pointing at the fact that it was barely holding up against the onslaught of plasma hitting its weakest point, Harry gritted his teeth as he felt the amount of magic being channelized by his core and he calculated it to be about twice the amount it took to come back home from Aleagesia, it was quite an amount and he wouldn't last long before he would collapse from the stain his body was being put under.
Luckily for Harry the dome didn't hold up for long against the combined power of the plasma "river" and the ward demolishing spell and it soon fell. As soon as the dome was destroyed, Harry, Alexandru and the other spell casters started to launch every spell that they knew that would kill for a lack of a better word, the most vampire, the circle of vampire spell casters succumbed quickly to the bombardment from the wizards and the suddenly a massive surge of energy came from the center of the pentagram in which the vampires stood which destroyed all vampires within a two miles radius (not that there were vampires in such a distance but that was the range of the surge)
"The fools, they never though that they would be stopped and they didn't take precaution against such a magical backlash" – said a sweating Alexandru
"I don't know why but I feel that this isn't over"-said Harry his developing psionic abilities warning him of something strange happening there.
"What are you talking about they are all dust"-boasted the Mane spellcaster
At that exact moment the sky above them was filled with clouds that were filled with pure negative energy and an orb of red light appeared in the middle of the pentagram and began expanding into a portal
"You had to jinx it, didn't you"-said a wizard to the Mane spell caster
"All of you run as far from the portal as you can, right no"-shouted Harry while running himself as far as he could since his psionic abilities told him that.
A second latter a ball of red energy, the size of a fully grown man impacted in the ground causing a massive explosion and opening a crater. The explosion had caught two of the wizards nearer to the portal and now they were all covered in blood and had raised a thick cloud of dust.
From the dust a man came out, he was 190-195 centimeters tall, midnight black hair, a startling violet eyes which held an unnatural beauty, an athletic built and a face which held a beauty that would be mesmerizing to any female and that face also spoke of a cruelty that was unparalleled by anyone, even Voldemort appeared as an angel in comparison to this guy. His aura was a full pitch black something Harry thought was impossible because it spoke of an evilness that he thought impossible and in any being also it revealed nothing related to his personality except for his evilness and judging by his pale complexion Harry figured out he must be a vampire
"Thanks mortals for fulfilling the last part of the ritual, for a moment I thought the won't give their worthless existence to bring me back"-said the stranger-"it feels so good to be in the universe after a thousand years of imprisonment"
"How can you speak so for those who were about to give their lives for you"-asked terrified a male Veela.
"For the won't even exist without me for I am Elyanus Dracula, the first of all vampires, a god amongst all of you vermin's"-he exclaimed-"and as a thanks for your help your deaths shall be swift"
"You are that guy in the muggle novel"-asked the same Veel
"Of course not that was my traitor of a son and he shall pay for his betrayal as soon as I find him"-said the vampire hate evident in his voice
And as soon as he said that he speed right in front of the Veela who spoke to him and ripped his heart out of his chest and in his hand the heart dried and became black before the body of the dead Veela could touch the ground. Every soldier that had survived the battle, eighty-six in totals fired whatever curse came in forefront of their minds toward the vampire but he simply turned around and broke the neck of the wizard nearest to him and then fired a red orb of energy toward the only manticore that was part of the task force and the manticore fell with a hole in his/her chest.
"Avada Kedavra" shouted both Harry and Alexandru knowing that no other spell had any chance of harming him but the vampire raised his hand the green beams of light simply disappeared and then he speed toward them and punched Alexandru in the chest and Alexandru would have died if he didn't conjure a shield right above his skin, instead he only flew a dozen meters away.
"You wizard, your magic feels different"-he said eyeing Harry curiously
"You want to see why"-said Harry transforming into a vampire-werewolf hybrid (although that hurt like a bitch due to the massive amount of magic in the ambient affecting the transformation).
" Transforming into an Abomination wont help you"-he spat
Harry attacked him with all of his newfound strength but the vampire simply blocked his attacks and pushed Harry upwards and before Harry could touch the ground he impaled Harry with his forearm. Harry got up quickly and took out Epilogue which began to shine with magic once out of the bottomless bag which only meant that the vampire was so powerful Epilogue felt its presence even when meters away. The vampire laughed and speed toward him and so did Harry, the vampire was faster and punched Harry in the gut but Harry hit him with his sword and then the unimaginable happened, Elyanus stopped the sword with his bare hand and he didn't even have a scratch in his hand and then he simply tightened the grip on the sword and it broke in two.
Harry took that opportunity to punch him in the face and the vampire flew twenty meters away and Harry speed toward him with the intention to rip his heart out and burn it but Elyanus stopped mid-air and fired an orb of red energy which hit Harry squarely in the chest and hehe fell on his knees, he then saw something very weird, Elyanus was connected to the nexus (the exact spot where the two ley lines connected and the most place with the highest concentration of magic in the whole place)
"Moody can you modify an exorcism spell to cut that connection"-said Harry to "Moody" through his telepathy
"Sure thing but it will take at least twenty minutes "-responded "Moody" inside of Harry's mind
"Oh hell that is going to hurt"-responded Harry before closing the connection.
Harry got up and fired a fireball (thanks to the powers inherited by his vampire side) which was blue due to the massive heat of the flames, towards Elyanus but he simply dodged the fireball and retaliated with one of his own which was white (even more powerful than the blue fire). Harry simply dodged that fireball only to be hit by a stream of electricity, originating from Elyanus palms, he felt his flesh turning to ash and then back to flesh and he almost lost his mental stability under the pain he felt but luckily his will proved enough to keep him mentally sane.
"Strange most would have lost their sanity due to the pain but not you, strange specimen maybe I will transform you once you revert back to your base form"-he said casualy.
"No you will not, lucispyroboli"-shouted Alexandru and from his hand came a bolt of pure light and positive energy
It hit the vampire in the head but it didn't even seem to have any effect and he retaliated with a fireball which exploded against the shield Alexandru conjured but the shockwave produced by such a collision sent Alexandru flying for a few dozen meters, he fell with a sickening thud and from what he could see he was still alive albeit unconscious.
"You see what happens to those who oppose me"-he boasted
"You shouldn't have done that"-said an enraged Harry.
The hybrid form grew more powerful with anger and empowered by this new power source Harry attacked Elyanus and forced him into the defensive but after a while Elyanus simply stopped and fired a fireball straight and into the Harry's chest and then speed right in front of him and both ripped his heart out and broke his neck. That wouldn't kill him but that would cause a lot of pain and slow the healing process considerably.
From his position he saw as the vampire attacked the remaining members of the task force, they fought bravely but they were no match for the vampire's power. The Mane spell caster appeared from the portal from which a few of the task force's members were using to escape and unleashed a barrage of incredibly powerful spells which forced the vampire to raise a red energy shield. After a moment Elyanus unleashed a silent spell which manifested as chains of red energy which bound the Mane spell caster and did something that was supposed to be impossible, the Mane became fully corporeal but before he could try anything Elyanus tore the Mane in two. Not paying attention to the rapidly closing portal he walked toward the immobile form of Harry.
"So they were the best you pathetic beings had to offer"-he said in a bored tone.
"You didn't seem so bored when the Mane attacked you"-he baited him hoping to distract him until the spell was ready or his body was healed, whichever happened first.
"Ethereal beings magic is very volatile in here and I couldn't allow him to explode since it would damage you and I really want to play some more with you before I destroy or transform you, whichever you chose"-said Elyanus.
"So… so you did that to protect me"-asked Harry
"Of course I am immortal nothing can harm me unlike the lesser members of my race"-he said-"you on the other side can be harmed even in the form of an Abomination"
Harry felt his body had regenerated enough and shouted "solaris ignis undae"and a wave of plasma came from his hand and covered entirely Elyanus. He got up but was surprised to see the vampire had already regenerated and found himself again victim to a stream of electricity from Elyanus and this time he went to the brink of madness but luckily this stream didn't last long and he was able to recover. As he got to his feet he saw something he hadn't seen until now, his core it was immense even without the additional power from the nexus, the core was made from pure red energy, he had heard that every clan's banner had the colors of their founder's core and his core had the same shade of red as the Dracula clan banner, it proved that he was indeed a Dracula and the first of all vampires since it was rumored that all vampires were created by a Dracula.
"So you saw my core, didn't you, do you believe me now"-he said.
The evilness of your Aura told me so but I refused to believe it but that definitively proved that"-Harry said grunting from the lingering pin
"Do you surrender now, become my lieutenant and you shall sit by my right side, you shall replace my son as an heir and you will be given power beyond your wildest dreams"-he said with a tone of voice which gave Harry goose bumps.
"Not everything we do is about power" –said Harry straightening his body and finally returning to his base form as "Moody gave him the spell necessary to defeat Elyanus.
"Naïve boy, that's what everything is about, eve your great hero, Merlin was a power addict"-Elyanus said with a teasing tone.
"Great lie I almost believed it but your mind betrays you"-Harry said smiling at the face he made when he realized he had psionic abilities even in this form-"lucis de meus animae depurgare hic obscures complexitatis"
Harry felt the massive amount of energy pass right through his body and was surprised he hadn't just fainted from the fatigue and saw a magnificent spectacle unfolding in front of his eyes, a shower of sparks of every color imaginable exploded in the space between the pentagram and Elyanus and he felt as Elyanus connection was severed and saw as that tendril of power that until now had empowered him now attacked and while it didn't destroy him it certainly weakened him considerably
"You shall pay for this wizard next time we meet'-he spat as he transformed into black mist
Harry saw the same tendril that awakened Elyanus hit his core and pain exploded in his chest and he knew that was the last straw for his body. Before he lost consciousness he felt some people "Slipping' nearby him but he couldn't see their faces before darkness claimed him.
