This isn't good, it's already been a few minutes since our battle started and I can't even get close. I wish Izuku was here to show me her level, but it's too late for that. She is using her hair to keep me away and normally I would have charged in and suffered a few hits in order to land a killing blow, but her hair has a paralysis effect. It's so potent that it can paralysis just from slight contact with my skin. I found that out the hard way.
I would just try to find a roundabout way to defeat her but I don't have the luxury of time to waste. The sooner I can help them the better. That just means that I have to use magic, I kinda wanted to avoid using it as it's not the common way people fight here, but it seems like brute strength wont get me too far here.
Using magic I casted beams of light to shoot at Lilith from her rear. I landed a hit and charged in as the rest of the beams followed from behind. But she sent a bunch of strands of her hair towards me forcing me to pull back and give her space. Lilith then used a very few strands to block the beams and the wound I gave her healed. Must be nice to be a vampire huh?
Well that was a bust but all I have to do is just change it up a little. Focusing my magic I created an invisible dome around her and channeled magic through it. Now she was surrounded by a dome of magic, and she was none the wiser. Using this dome meant that I could just auto magic attack, won't get into the details of how it works as it is pretty complicated, but in short. SHe is surrounded by a dome of turrets that shoot light magic at her. Unfortunately this meant that I couldn't get close since then I would be hit by the attacks, so I can just wear her out and then go for the kill.
Making the dome visible but also see through, made me see her shocked expression. Which was hilarious, but then I activated it. I watched her struggle to keep with each beam as the direction changed after each shot. You know now that I think about it, I can just let the beams land the final shot. No, that wouldn't be fun. Well I can at least commend her for making me use magic, but magic in this world was most likely in books or something, so she never properly prepared a counter for something like this. It's nice to watch her struggle in vain-
Huh? Why can't I move? Looking down at my feet, I notice a very thin strand of hair that reaches into my shoe.
"Surprised? I bet you thought you had me all figured out! Oh~ Look at you! Not so confident now huh? Normally I would go up to the second floor to retrieve the others, but I know they won't make it past Alastor. Even if they do, no one can defeat Dracula~ My sweet darling, he is an angel in disguise. OH! I just remembered! Let me tell you a secret! I remember everything!"
Her saying that made me make eye contact. What did she mean by remember? So she knows who Alice is? Then why isn't she helping us?
"I can tell you're wondering why I'm not helping you or Alice. It is nothing complicated, it's just that I hate her. I despise her and loath her existence. She didn't do anything to me, but mock me. I can tell that when she spoke to my beloved Dracula, or maybe I should say Nikolas. He only paid attention to her, only answered to her, and only ever spoke to her. Do you know how many sentences he spoke to me during that time? Two-hundred and thirty-two sentences over the course of almost 300 years! But now in just three decades, he spoke five-hundred and sixty one words to me! Don't give me that look of pity!"
How can I when I am paralyzed? This woman is just crazy! Well that's enough of me messing around I guess. [Radiant Blast]
I released a burst of divine energy, knocking her back and removing the paralysis. I wanted to avoid using divinity but I can't waste any more time than I already have.
"What? H-How are you not paralyzed anymore!?" The face she makes made this worth it.
"You see I was wondering why something felt off about you, you're an incarnation aren't you?"
"W-What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me, you yourself could not get strong so you borrow the powers of forces beyond you."
"Just who are you!"
"Maybe this chant will help you: By the power of the mountain, by the strength of the sky, by the might of lightning, I call upon the power that lies beyond. Let the energy of the unseen guide me, granting me the might to overcome any challenge and triumph over adversity."
"No! Impossible! She told me you were…"
"That's right my name is not Bahadur but instead its…"
"NO! NO! This isn't fair!"
"Any last words?"
"Even in the afterlife, I will keep you here until all your friends-"
Before she could finish her sentence I cut off her head resulting in her blood spilling everywhere. This means that I will have to clean my clothes as soon as the mission is over. From my experience dry blood doesn't really smell good.
OW! What? Why does my head hurt? Don't tell me her blood can also paralyze! Damn it! I got careless! I can't move until the blood dries. Sorry everyone, looks like I can't join yall for a while.
THE END
