Chap 99: overcoming the sun
He watched as the sun began to set on the horizon, glowing a soft orange dulled by the clouds. Normally, a vampire wouldn't be able to tolerate sunlight, no matter how small it is.
But Takichi is not a vampire, he's a demon that surpassed even the strongest vampire in this world. While yes, he did kill one in her sleep; his second kill was completely fair.
Now with the council of vampires having only one left, there's sure to be chaos. And he wouldn't stick around to see it, Takichi just wanted to have a pause before going again.
Jumping off the high wall of the castle, Takichi's leg muscles grew five times their size. He landed in an explosion of cloud and departed.
His trip didn't take any more than a few hours of running, his feet didn't stop, there wasn't a hint of tiredness on him.
The scenery shifted right in front of his eyes, hills, forest, jumping pass cliffs, he already knew where to go now. But if he goes there now, he might not be able to have it. Stopping at a manor hidden quite well, located inside the cliff of a canyon. Here it makes it hard for both species to find.
"Nice place, and hard for anyone to get in. Unless they can fly." Takichi stood atop the cliff, unbuttoning his shirt. The home of the first immortal, mother of both vampire and werewolf.
A perfect time to use his demonic wing, as the blood of the bat and the wolf is now inside of him. Takichi has analyzed their traits and integrated them into his demon body through his demon art, making the bone in his back crack and move, forming a new set of bat-like wings to spurt out.
*crash*
Uncarring, his body flew through a window shattering it and making loud noises. His entry alerted everyone in the mansion, but they were wholly unprepared for what was about to happen.
Takichi unleashed his fully demonic power, just his presence alone put fear into every creature here. Two guards found him, holding up their silver crossbow, but froze when his eyes locked onto them. A simple arm movement, and they were killed.
*whiz*
Multiple bolts shot at him from behind, tentacles sprouted from his back and knocked them out of the air.
"Alright, more enemies. Do try and make me bleed, I need to see how good this regeneration of mine is." He taunted them.
Blades drawn, a hundred or so armor-wearing night creatures step up to attack him. Consisting of both vampires and werewolves, ten swords swing simultaneously downward. Their force was stopped by one of his blade tentacles. Takichi swooped in and cut their heads off all at once.
Latching on to a wall and pouncing on the other guard, decapitating her while forming new weapons on his body to slaughter the creatures around him.
Blood sprayed everywhere, painting each room he came across with red as he kept running through the place.
Both his hands morphed into giant blades and swung wildly, cutting heads and dismembering bodies of lined-up soldiers with no one able to stop him. Their swords and spears were deflected, and no armor could protect them from being pierced by him. Desperate, some try to shoot silver bolts, all with no effect. Bombs were ignited and fire engulfed him, but Takichi stepped out, his skin was intact from the blast as the flame was not able to burn past his healing factor.
He moved so fast that even the enhanced creatures saw nothing but a blur, a line of light from Takichi's sword arm slicing them all.
Fear
The creatures that hunted humans as food now felt fear as they faced an even more dangerous being. One who is killing them with a glint of enjoyment in his eyes.
Bouncing from wall to ceiling, cutting up and down with multiple blades. His movement and speed were like a ruthless hurricane, enormous ankle and calf muscles pushed him forward, destroying both living beings and objects alike in his path.
There's a momentary pause when Takichi reached a locked door, he knew who was inside.
*Blam!*
The metal door got kicked off its hinges, hitting the wall on the opposite side, and without hesitation, he charged forward into the room.
The world moves in slow motion as they detect about 20 soldiers left, 10 of them are already in their werewolf state.
Inside the smaller room, they crowded themself around a person. His eye focused on that one, and flipping his body upward, dragging more blades with his momentum.
The werewolves decided to jumped on him were all cut to pieces. One managed to bypass the wave of slashes only for Takichi to grab him by the neck, snapping it instantly.
The remaining guards shook in their place, yet they gripped their swords tightly, swiftly maneuvering in the open space.
Trying to avoid being turned into mush by him, but Takichi's tentacles all moved in such a way that he created a full circle of sharp edges.
Commending them in his mind, he did a 360⁰ slash using all his power, the tentacles shot out. In one blow the room was destroyed, killing everyone but him.
*gasp* a timid breath came from under the mountain of corpses.
"Well...almost everyone." He sounded disappointed, none of them even came close to making him bleed.
He followed the tiny sound of a breath, trying to hide from him. Six appendages from his back began to devour all the flesh in the room as he inched closer, leaving him to look at one last person.
He absorbed her too, her blood filled his veins with a new feeling, spreading throughout his body. Curling and uncurling his finger, the changes were not flashy but held substantial importance. The very blood cell flowing in his veins is changing to be able to withstand the light of the sun.
He knelt down, the change visible through his pale skin. A thin layer of fluid surrounded him, creating a cocoon. Time flies, it only takes an hour for his changes to be complete. Takichi burst out just in time for the first light of dawn to hit him.
