195 Divine Cleaver
CRACKLE! Abel is the fastest of them. In the blink of an eye, he rushed with a lightning bolt, swinging his sword with zeal at Chuzuke’s neck.
Chuzuke saw The blade rushing at him. He bent backward, pulling a blood sword from his palm. “You aren’t the danger.” CLANG! He deflected Abel’s strike.
BAM! It only took him a second to jump at Arad. He could feel he was most dangerous, so killing him takes priority.
Arad lifted his palm, unleashing a fireball after the other.
Chuzuke ducked low, running below the fire as he reached Arad. “You’re slowly.” SLASH! He cut Arad’s extended left arm at the elbow and swung at the neck.
Arad’s humanoid body can take on his draconic might, but that is only if we speak about the resting power. That includes flying and carrying heavy things, but that merely scratches the surface of what makes dragons scary.
When dragons rage and start flapping their wings like a dragonfly, it’s what scholars call draconic rumbling. Their heart rate increased dramatically, and their temperature went through the roof.
A toddler isn’t supposed to have an adrenalin rush, and neither is Arad. He isn’t supposed to feel it for long as a very young dragon, let alone in a humanoid form.
VROOM! Arad’s heart rumbled like a loud engine as veins bulged on his body and to his right fist. The muscles of his back that are supposed to power his mighty wings shifted to fuel a single punch.
TOD-BOM! Aella who just jumped out of the balcony only saw Arad’s fist recoiling back from the hit with Chuzuke flying back with his ribs dented. BAM! The shockwave finally reached her, shattering the windows and shaking the mansion.

Arad’s heart went silent as he took a deep breath. It was only for a second, but he could fight back. He immediately drew blood from his stomach to heal his arm.
Thud! Thud! CRACK! Arad watched Chuzuke roll on the ground before hitting a tree. ^He has almost three times as much HP as me.^

As Arad smiled inside, Chuzuke stood, his wounds healing.
[HP: 817/817][MP: 950/950][SP: 931/931]
“What?” Mira gasped, “He recovered from that?” Even though she didn’t get hit, her chest still hurt from the shockwave.
“Useless! Useless! Useless! You can’t kill me with normal means. Even your strongest fist could barely shake my blood.” Chuzuke smiled, opening his arms. “Come hit me again! If you dare. I will suck your blood immediately!”
Arad took a deep breath, getting ready to burn Chuzuke with a breath. Abel understood that he is about to use a large spell, and he backed away, he could feel the heat rising.
Chuzuke smiled, but suddenly, fragments of golden lights started rising from the ground. “What is this?” He gasped.
Mira and Arad looked around, “Light, it’s emerging from everything.” Mira looked at the plants dancing with magic seeping from them.
Abel was the first to notice, ^All things pray, and when a god is watching, holy magic seeps from the ground. She’s coming.^
Thud! Thud! Lydia walked from inside the mansion. Her high heel shattered as she took a heavy step. From the dark, her eyes emitted a deep golden glow.
“In the name of Lathander and the earth’s mother, Chauntea. Ohm gods, please grant me the will and power to smite this blood-sucking fiend.” Lydia mumbled, and her wounds opened again, and she started bleeding. Her body can’t keep her intact.
“Like I would let you hit me with that!” Chuzuke was about to jump back. PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! Four arrows rushed out of the windows.
Thud! An arrow pierced his right eye, forcing him to growl as a second one gouged his left eye. When was about to stumble back, the other two arrows pinned his feet to the ground.
[HP: 801/817][MP: 950/950][SP: 931/931]
“I got him!” Aella smiled. But her arrows barely did any damage.
“Don’t stay still!” Merida shouted, cutting the thrall maids that lunged at Aella. “The lady is right. Focus on the fight here or get out and fight against him.” The fancy-looking old man who spoke with Arad earlier growled, swinging a sword at the thralls. “We can’t protect you with all of those monsters attacking.”
CRACK! Lyla grabbed a chair and smacked one of the maids that Merida dropped on the head. “Stay down!” She growled, kicking her afterward.
BAM! Lydia rushed forward, swinging her sword with all that she got.
Chuzuke could feel her holy aura approaching like death, “Damn it!” He tried to dodge, but couldn’t.
[Divine Cleaver] CLAP! In a single swing, with a sword burning with holy magic. Lydia cleaved the vampire in half, sending the pieces flying as her sword shattered.𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮
[HP: 182/817][MP: 950/950][SP: 931/931]
Thud! Lydia fell to her knees with blood dripping across her whole body. Her eyes went blind as her hearing deteriorated. ^This is the end for me…^ Thud! She fell on her face, swimming in a pool of her own blood.
The moment Arad saw Chuzuke’s HP take a nose drop, he could feel the hit in his guts. That attack from Lydia would certainly kill him. Avoid paladin smites at all costs.
CLANK! Chuzuke’s body was stitched together, but he still couldn’t regenerate as quickly.
[HP: 212/817][MP: 950/950][SP: 931/931]
The divine magic still burned his flesh and bones. He won’t be recovering from Lydia’s hit anytime soon, and it will burn him for weeks.
“I will!” Chuzuke growled, glaring at Lydia. But he then saw Arad and Abel flying at him with a godly speed. “We’re taking this somewhere else,” Abel growled.
Chuzuke clenched his teeth. He needs to suck blood and quicken his regeneration. He looked at the mansion balcony. He could make it there with a single leap. His feet dug into the ground, getting ready to propel his body forward.
VROOM! The strange rumbling came from Arad’s body again.
