Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

The impact of her demonic claws against Blake's spear was strong, pushing the boy back through the skies as he barely managed to keep his balance. The woman quickly moved towards Ellergest as she managed to push away Blake from her sight.

"You're not surprising me anymore!" Said Ellergest, waving his staff as light magic circles emerged in front of his body, each magic circle activated and fired spears made of light, shining brightly as if they were stars themselves, showering over Cassandra and stopping her momentum. The bright light of the attacks also dispelled her shadows, without giving her the ability to easily sneak around.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Uuaaggh…! Such a bright light…! H-How does it hurt so much?!" Cried Cassandra, she didn't realized that as she turned herself slowly into a demon, she was also inheriting their weaknesses!

"Foolish witch! Do you truly believe that becoming a demon is all good without any penalties?!" Roared Ellergest. "I will show you what humans are truly capable of and put you out of your misery!"

Ellergest spoke with a powerful and domineering voice, as Cassandra gritted her teeth and began to block his powerful Holy Light Spears! However, Ellergest realized these attacks were too slow and heavy, although they did big damage, he needed something faster. He quickly modified his own spell and renamed it!

"Holy Light Arrows!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The spears were suddenly reduced in size, as the magic circles fired these spears constantly, like flashing bright stars falling over Cassandra's entire body! Cassandra flew around attempting to evade, but it was futile! Her evasion skills were quite terrible, she had not practiced battle at all, and her experience in close range was also quite bad. Although in her childhood she learned how to use a dagger and how to move swiftly behind enemies, she was incapable of evading such incredibly fast attacks!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The arrows continued to rain over her body as her transformation into demon that she was using to fight in more even terms against these two foes had begun to only make her take more damage than she could have wanted… Cassandra had hunted monsters whenever she could, and her Talent had leveled up due to that. However, her talent was not a combat one, as it was a talent that specialized in observation, [Appraiser]. A simple Talent that allowed her to analyze and observe things with more detail than others.

Although she was failing in the battle already by being attacked severely by Ellergest's magic, she was analyzing his movements, the conjuration of his magic, and more, and was slowly adapting, moving to the side and predicting the movement of even the light arrows!

Ellergest eyes opened wide as he realized her movements were quite incredible, and that this supernatural adaptability might be something that came from her Talent and Skills included within it! However, Ellergest himself also had a Talent of his own various Skills, and had received dozens of blessings as he slain monsters through his life… and demons too.

The old priest quickly decided to activate these powerful Skills which often required Mana to activate, as he unleashed them!

"Holy Barrier, Light Enhancement…"

FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, Ellergest covered himself in a barrier of holy light, and then, an aura of light encompassed his body, he had conjured two skills that enhanced his defense and also the damage that his light-attribute magic could dealt!

"Buffing yourself won't do anything, you stupid old geezer!" Roared Cassandra, reaching up to Ellergest after fully adapting to his light arrows and evading their trajectory swiftly, her daggers reached up to him as she fired them with extreme accuracy!

"Flash Step!"

FLASH!

However, Ellergest was able to have time now unlike before, and utilized another Skill, Flash Step! This Skill covered him in light and let him move a few meters away from his original position at a flashy speed, resembling a ray of light!

"Eh?!" Cassandra looked back, as the mighty Ellergest's hand suddenly gathered a sphere of light within its open palm!

"Bright Nova!!!"

FLAAAASH!

Ellergest unleashed a simple spell, which unleashed a flash of light as bright as a supernova, it was so bright that Cassandra was forced to close her eyes! However, instead of stopping her movements, she pushed forward and attacked Ellergest! Her eyes were closed, but she could still see! This was the power of an Appraiser, the Talent she had evolved even allowed her to see even when her eyes were closed. She was able to see the silhouette of Ellergest in front of her, and she moved forward!

And unlike Cassandra, Ellergest was also weak to his own light, and had to cover his face from the light of his own spell, quickly creating an opening!

CLASH!

Ellergest reacted in time, however, as he intercepted the demonic claws of Cassandra. However, her strength was already in the realm of the supernatural, and Ellergest old body was being pushed down from the sky!

"Hahah! I got you, old man- Ungh?!"

However, Ellergest had more tricks below his sleeve!

"Thread of Judgement!"

Ellergest activated one of his most expensive Skills he had acquired on his last Levels, which allowed him to bind a target using Thread of Judgement! This white thread made of light wrapped instantly around Cassandra stopping her movements and tightly putting her in the same position she was. However, it didn't stopped her strength to exerting over Ellergest, as he gritted his teeth while falling from the skies!

Meanwhile, Blake was observing the battle and constantly rushing around while trying to chase down Cassandra and Ellergest, he was fast, but these two were simply like blurs of light moving around the sky, it was taxing for his small body, but he was managing!

"BLANK!!!" Roared Ellergest, as he knew that the boy was close by!

FLAAASH!

A burst of green winds emerged before Cassandra, surprising her greatly! She looked back at Blake with eyes wide open, as his spear neared her neck! She was entangled in the threads of judgement and was unable to counter!

"You don't have to scream, old man."

SLAAASH!
