Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 188
“Shit!!!” Sigmund yelled, then blocked his sword with Ivory’s magic rod.
Lucius repeatedly swung his sword towards the Vampire as if he was desperate to take him down. He didn’t say anything; he concentrated on making him stumble.
“What the hell, Rich boy! Calm down!” he told the blond young man.
But it was evident in Lucius’ blue eyes that he wouldn’t let Sigmund rest.
Sigmund knew he had to do something, or else Lucius would take the lead. Using the power of the black crystal in the rod, he used Water-type mana. Everytime that the rod would come in contact with Lucius’ hot sword, steam would come out and diffuse in the air. They continued their fight until their surroundings were already filled with white smoke.
Ivory glanced for a quick while on the other side of the sliced forest. ‘Sigmund already started our plan… I should, too…’ she thought.
Holding the white crystal rod firmly, she casted a Water-type spell as well, and as soon as she hit Volcius’ arm, thick steam was released from the cracks of its body.
As if it was blood, lava oozed out of his arm. This made Ivory hop backwards and when she reached a nearby tree, she pulled the vines hanging on it and climbed it hastily to hide. She stared at the flowing lava underneath like a river on fire.
While the Golem Servant was busy looking for her through the thick steam coming out of its body, the silver-haired Master gathered moisture and casted a strong Water spell. She focused the spell onto Volcius’ flowing lava, and soon after, her side was full of steam, too.
There were murmurs in the crowd, as they could not see what was happening because of the fog. They could only see a faint red glow coming from Volcius’ lava and Lucius’ sword.
Back to Sigmund and Lucius, they still continued their close combat fight. Whenever his sword hit a tree, the surface would get burn cuts and some would completely burn to ashes due to the great intensity of the fire.
To step up his game, the black-haired Vampire now casted magic spells to distract his opponent. Sigmund pushed Lucius hard as soon as he blocked his fiery sword. With no time to waste, he raised the magic rod, and the black crystal glowed. An igloo-shaped Earth-type structure trapped Lucius inside. The Vampire purposely made several layers of soil so that he wouldn’t break it easily. He used this time to withdraw and run away from him. When he saw that he had gotten quite far, he climbed on a tree, thinking about his next step.
Ivory used Air magic in wind form to lift herself up, atop the tree crowns. Coincidentally, Sigmund also did, and their eyes met.
“Sigmund, I hope you hear me at this distance,” Ivory decided to make full use of her Servant’s ability, “Are you ready to do the second step to our plan?”
Sigmund assumed that she wouldn’t hear his reply, so he just raised his hand so she could see him from afar.
CRACK!
The earthen igloo where Lucius was trapped started to break its surface. It wasn’t long until Lucius successfully shattered it into pieces!
Sigmund and Ivory used a small tornado-like entity to fly themselves uphill. As they went further, more trees behind them burned!
They reached the peak, and stood at the edges of the cliff. The whole forest was already burning, and the two of them widened their eyes when they saw their opponent pairs walking amidst the fire!
Lucius glared at Sigmund while he stepped slowly towards his direction. He dragged his sword downwards, sliding it against the forest soil, and leaving ash trails.
“You’re doing this on purpose, right?” Sigmund creased his brow. “Do you resent me that much?”
Lucius stopped walking, and told him in a serious tone, “Think about it. Do I have a reason to resent you?”
He scratched the back of his head, “Well… You do have a lot of reasons to resent me, Rich boy.”
“It’s good that you know. Don’t blame me for what I’m going to do with you!”
Lucius suddenly charged forward, holding his sword with both of his hands.
Sigmund raised the magic rod once again, and the black crystal glowed. He casted the Earth-type igloo he used a while ago. But as soon as Lucius was enveloped with the hardened soil, he leaped, turning his body while swinging his sword sideways. And within seconds, he had broken out of that enclosed space!
“That’s it, Sigmund? I thought you were the greatest Servant back then?” Lucius mocked him, standing at a distance from Sigmund. He turned his head towards Ivory, who was sparring with his Golem Servant. “Your Master kept on looking at this side, that’s why she couldn’t defeat Volcius. You know what that means? She doesn’t trust you that much.”
“Nonsense. She’s just worried about me… Or maybe you’re jealous?” he smirked, “You’re her brother, but she’s only worried about me.”
Lucius glared at the Vampire. In that scorching forest, he was also bothered that Ivory would not be able to concentrate on her own battle because of her Vampire Servant, who’s also her forbidden lover. Lucius told him, “It’s better to say that you’re only a distraction to her.”
Sigmund did not respond to him, but only stared at his blue irises with his crimson red irises. He was always arguing with the young man, but at that time, there was something in Lucius’ tone that he disliked.
“Rich boy… You want me gone, do you?”
“A part of me wants you to disappear, yes,” Lucius sighed, “Things would have been better if you weren’t flawed.”
“Go ask Goddess Destinia why she made me like this,” Sigmund replied.
“I always ask her many things, but of course, she never once responded. Are you crazy? She’s a goddess! Unless she descends from heaven, she wouldn’t be able to talk to me!” he turned into a battle stance, “Stop blabbering and let’s finish this!”
Lucius once again charged towards Sigmund. The more he approached him, the fire on his sword got larger.
Sigmund’s eyes glowed, disappointed in the young man. As a flawed Servant, he felt other negative emotions, which affected his judgment and decision. Raising Ivory’s black crystal rod, he casted a Water-type spell, gathering all the water left on the soil within his vicinity. Because of the burning environment and dry air, there wasn’t enough water to use.
When Ivory glanced at how Sigmund was doing, she gasped. It was not part of their plan!
Worried about his current state, Ivory raised her white crystal rod and used Air magic in wind form to fly up and dash to the other side. She bumped onto Lucius, and the two of them stumbled on the ground!
This caused Lucius to drop his sword on the ground. Noticing that Ivory was on top of him, he muttered, “Ivory… You’re heavy…”
The silver-haired Master heard this, but she did not get off him yet. Instead, she placed her rod right above his neck.
Lucius noticed his sister’s serious glare at him. When he saw her light blue irises glow, he quickly grabbed her arm, trying to get her hands off him.
But as seconds passed, she only became heavier and heavier.
The young master of the Goldwines now realized what she was doing. She was using her mana to effectively hold him down, and also preventing him from getting his sword!
Sigmund was staring at the siblings to make sure that Lucius would not attack her back, until he suddenly heard heavy steps behind him. As soon as he turned, he saw Volcius was about to charge at him! Fortunately, Sigmund used an Earth-type magic to form a thick wall of hardened soil.
But Volcius’ hard contact with Sigmund’s barrier shook the ground! And because Sigmund had weakened the soil by removing moisture, plus Ivory’s heavy mana-infused body, there was eventually a violent earthquake-like phenomenon.
The crowd couldn’t get their eyes off the stage as they saw one part of the forest starting to slide to the side!
The stones crumbled down, and some of the burning cypress trees were uprooted. As the soil eroded, the arena was quickly filled with dust and ashes, making it hard for everyone to see what was happening on the terrain.
And in seconds, both Ivory and Lucius also slid down together with the forest’s soil.
