Partner's clueless eyes glanced around her surroundings, wondering what was happening.
"Huh? What's going on in here?"
Out of nowhere she and Eraldine were pulled into so strange void, almost devoid of any light. There was only darkness everywhere.
"Don't tell we were sent sowhere else?! Ah, the kids!" Eraldine who was right by her side panicked, imdiately thinking about the kids. "Who did this?! Are they here?!"
Eraldine started looking everywhere as her magic conjured several spheres of light, covering her surroundings and illuminating everything.
However, Partner quickly sensed so sort of presence at the distance, her aura, and eyes glowing bright red, as she seed wary of it.
"There." Partner pointed into the distance, as her Vampiric Senses imdiately noticed the presence of sothing.
Eraldine panicked, realizing she hadn't even felt him coming. It was as if the void itself just carried him there, teleporting him in that very place.
Even her Spirits seed unease in this place, it was completely devoid of spiritual energy, so they were quite weakened.
"You shouldn't be worrying about the kids right now…" The dark figure that Partner noticed erged from the shadows.
It resembled a single man cloaked on black robes, holding a small, black crystal staff imbue with a small dark blue jewel. His appearance was much simpler than the monster that they had expected.
"Who are you?! How did you get us in here?!" Eraldine asked furiously, her aura of light illuminated her surroundings, she quickly grabbed her bow, generating an arrow of light and pointing it at the man. "Answer !"
"Heh… Hahaha…" The man only laughed, as if delighted by their struggle to understand what was happening.
BOOOM!
Suddenly, a beam of crimson red energy clashed against a nearby wall, but the wall, invisible and made of void, was unscathed!
"I can't even break from this?!" Partner had tried shooting a beam into the shadows, but it was simply absorbed into the void, it was as if there was no ceiling to begin with. "Just what is this?! Are you guys… Wait, the Warlocks! Are you the Warlock bastards?!"
"Hehehe, I don't think that matters right now, foolish ones. But yes, I am a mber of the Warlocks of the Underworld, we've decided to take matters into our own hands after our Great Leader, Lord Maleficus, told us about you disrupting our peaceful town. The Saintess Emilia is very angry too, I'm sure she will be delighted to learn you were all killed and quietly taken away." The old man laughed.
"Warlocks!" Eraldine said. "I knew it must have been you!"
"Hey, I literally said that!" Partner sighed. "Anyways, Warlock or not, you're going to get stomped. You should had never co to the two of us, we're pretty strong, actually."
"Yeah, bad choice." Eraldine said, her aura overflowing with spiritual and divine power, her big wings erging from her back, spreading to reveal two beautiful golden and green colored butterfly wings.
"Hehehe, you're the foolish ones to underestimate the one second in command on this squad. I am not soone you can easily look down into!" Laughed the old man, his body quickly beginning to transform… "I'll rip apart your souls and offer them to our Great Lord!"
His old man's appearance instantly changed, his height grew taller, his muscles beca stronger, his pale white skin turned deep black, like charcoal, and his bald head grew a long silvery-white hair, decorated with several sharp black horns.
The black cloak he was wearing dissipated, showing it was just made out of darkness, his staff started overflowing with power, as he started floating in midair.
His muscular yet toned and sleek body grew countless Demonic Runes over his skin, Partner and Eraldine felt an incredibly potent magical power coming from him…
"After absorbing and assimilating the Hearts of hundreds of Majin, and Elven Magicians, I've managed to perfect this old body and attain a new, almighty form." He laughed. "Admire the appearance of Belphegor, the Second in Command of Lord Maleficus! The Sorcerer King!"
TRUUUMMM…!
His intense magical aura exuded endlessly, and above all, this guy actually announced his na! Whenever that happened, it was usually bad news, they were strong enough to be recognizable.
Ding!
[The [Vampire Duke: Belphegor (S Rank)] has undergone a [Demonic Mana Heart Transformation], turning into his [Demonic Mana Devouring Sorcerer] Form!]
[All of his Stats have increased by 250%, Magic and Mana have increased by 1000%, Magic Spell Power and Mana Recovery Rate have increased by a further 500%!]
[Duration: As long as there's Mana to absorb.]
And his transformation was no joke either!
"Belphegor…?!" And Eraldine quickly rembered such a na. "What?! That Evil Sorcerer that hundreds of years ago was said to have hunted the most Majin Tribes and Elven Tribes in this continent?! The barbarian that everyone thought was a monster?! You're… that Belphegor of the legends?"
"Legends? I guess I've passed down in history quite nicely." Laughed the demonic vampire. "I have long ago stopped my hunt, as I decided to quietly develop the powers of having eaten the hearts of all these powerful magicians. And now, you're seeing its perfected form! I was born as mana-less human once, pathetic, and weak! Until I decided to carve out the hearts of you damned magicians and devour your mana! This is my special power! [Mana Devour]!"
FLUOSH!
The man pointed his hand towards Partner and Eraldine, the two quickly found their own Mana being constantly drained away from their very bodies!
Ding!
[The power of the [Miasmic Ability: Mana Devour] has been activated!]
[Any living being within a 500-ter radius of Belphegor will have their Mana drained by 0.50% with every second!]
[Additionally, their Magic Power will decrease by -50%!]
"This guy's insane! What the hell?!" Partner panicked.
"He's draining all our mana so easily…!" Eraldine muttered. "We'll have to take him down with everything we've got, and quickly! We can't lose too much ti in here!"
"I agree." Partner roared. "Let's quickly end this…!"
"It will be over before you can even realize." Belphegor laughed. "I shall feast on your Hearts after I'm done with you! [Abyssal Void Magic]: [Void Rain]!"
