Chapter 564 Final Attack?
The moment the bluish-green pentagram appeared, everyone around realized that the vampire was beginning to take this challenge seriously.
Vampires were one of the magical beings that possessed Magic Gems in the Polaris Realm. But unlike magicians, vampires didn't need to hunt for pentagrams on their journey. The only pentagram they had was the one that came from their Magic Gem, which would evolve as they grew stronger.
Killing a vampire wouldn't give anyone the vampire's special powers because those powers were associated with their Magic Gem, which would naturally be lost upon their death.
In any case, vampires usually had a lot of offensive abilities to use in a fight, and they usually didn't use their own powers unless they wanted to take the fight seriously.
Seeing this essence on its way to becoming a Cyan pentagram, Vicente felt his heart beat faster while his mana consumption made him rethink his strategy.
But Torne reassured him. 'We have to do it this way, master. If we don't do what I told you, we won't be able to neutralize this opponent.'
'Will it really work?' Vicente asked, feeling the sensation of the vampire's special power.
'Of course it will. Just do as we agreed, master. There's no way this vampire can withstand our combined attack!' Torne assured before sending a mental message to Layla.
'Concentrate on Joseph. Attack him!' He said, using Vicente's voice in the woman's mind.
Layla looked in Vicente's direction, surprised to hear his voice in her mind. 'What is it? Am I imagining things?'
'Attack him! Don't hesitate any longer!' Torne said again, trying to get the two to gain some leverage against Joseph as he prepared for the decisive moment of this fight.
Once he had achieved his goal of temporarily neutralizing the vampire, they would have to flee without delay or pursuit. Only in this way could they temporarily escape the terrible creature that would surely come after Vicente.
Layla no longer doubted that Vicente had ordered her to act and stopped looking in his and the vampire's direction to focus on Joseph.
The vampire was focused on attacking Vicente with everything he had, so the remaining attacks from him and Vice in the area diminished, giving Layla, Joseph, and Casey more room to fight.
With all of her attention now focused on Joseph, Layla watched the mental battle between the two men as she covered her body with her own mana, preparing her offensive.
'It's all or nothing,' she thought, confident that Vicente was up to something and that she and Casey had to take Joseph down.
Preparing to deal with his mental power, she ran as fast as she could towards his back.
When she appeared behind him and attacked him with one of her hands, Joseph realized the problem and shifted his focus away from Casey for a moment.
"Are you trying to catch me off guard?" He angrily asked as he looked at the beautiful woman who was about to attack him.
"Don't underestimate me, you old devil!" Casey shouted as he took a step forward, ignoring the blood dripping from both of his eyes.
His eye-shaped gem glowed even brighter, attacking Joseph's mind with more force than before.
Joseph sensed this and found himself at a crossroads, not knowing if he should try to protect himself from both attacks at once or prioritize one over the other.
He certainly couldn't dodge any of them. Layla's speed was too high for him to do that, while mental attacks usually worked within a certain range. In other words, moving within that area wouldn't make a difference and wouldn't give you a chance to dodge their attack.
He then decides to defend himself against Layla since this woman is stronger than Casey.
"I'll take you down first, gray bitch!" He said as he looked into Layla's eyes and attacked her.
Layla shivered as the glow on the man's forehead reached her eyes, but her attack had already formed. Even if she was brutally attacked by Joseph, she would still reach his body!
Casey saw it happen. The arm she had aimed at Joseph's heart pierced the man's back, missing his heart by a few centimeters due to the man's movement against her.
Even though he hadn't suffered a mortal attack, Joseph couldn't help but scream in pain as his attack on Layla and his defense against Casey weakened.
"Aaaaaagh!"
"Gotcha!" Casey said as he finally found an opening in his father's mind and attacked him mercilessly, not hesitating to manipulate the man's mind, erasing old information and filling Joseph's head with false memories.
"Damned you!" Joseph felt that, while Layla felt a sharp pain in her head but came back to her senses, not having lost much of her essence with the previous attack.
"You old devil!" She angrily shouted as she looked at the body of the man, furious that he had tried to erase memories that were important to her.
If it hadn't been for the pain he had felt when her arm had penetrated him and Casey's attack, he would have successfully changed into an important part of Layla's essence!
She then focused all her remaining powers on moving her arm across Joseph's body as if that part of her body was a saw.
"Die, old traitor!" She screamed as she moved her arm, causing Joseph to scream even more.
Casey didn't miss the opportunity and made his final move, trying to destroy his old man's mental faculties. He didn't want to kill Joseph. He wanted to make his father feel the same way his little sister had felt when all her memories were erased.
While this was happening, the vampire made his decisive attack on Vicente, using his extraordinary power to ignore all forms of his opponent's attacks as he approached the black-
haired young man.
Vicente's weapons, spells, and special abilities disappeared when they came into contact with the area under the influence of the vampire's unique ability, disintegrating into particles of mana and elements.
Meanwhile, Vicente seemed exhausted and more and more afraid.
"I will remember you, young monster." The vampire said as he stood a meter and a half before Vicente. "Your powers and talent will bring me closer to increasing the purity of my bloodline. I thank you for that."
Then he stretched one of his hands toward Vicente's neck, intending to finally taste the young man's blood.
Just as he moved his arm, the vampire noticed a subtle change in the young man's expression.
Vicente borrowed Torne's power and combined his three powers by grabbing the vampire's neck and squeezing it.
"Not today, vampire."
BOOM!
Then the vampire's eyes bulged out, and a moment later, his whole body exploded like a bomb!
