'Teacher, can I ask you something?

What is it?

What path did… did Azriel choose?

Look, Ithania. You can compare yourself with anyone else, you can even ask me about my past, how long it took me to reach a certain level and compare yourself with me, but don't compare yourself with Azriel, okay?

Can I ask why?

Well… Azriel… he is not normal…'

'Teacher… C-Can I fight Azriel now…?

I told you not to compare himself with him, right?

I-I am not comparing… I just want to know… he shouldn't be able to take on Blood Spear, right?

That is true; he won't come out unharmed but…

But?'

A wry smile appeared on Ithania's face as she recalled her conversations with her teacher, Lilia Bella.

'Teacher, I now know why you used to tell me not to compare himself with this Monster.'

Ithania thought inwardly as she watched the scene in front of her with a blank look on her face.

'He shouldn't be able to take on Blood Spear, right?

That is true; he won't come out unharmed but…

But?'

She recalled the conversation again and shook her head.

'But the spear wouldn't even hit him…

That's what you wanted to say right? Haah… I can see that…

However, teacher, I am sure that even you don't really know how much of a monster this man actually is…'

Ithania then observed the battlefield, if it could be even called one.

There were 10 Advance Stage Cultivators and15 Master Stage Cultivators, 1 Grand Master Stage Cultivator against one Beginner Stage Cultivator.

Although Ithania knew that Azriel would not lose, she thought it would be a tough battle and he wouldn't come out uninjured.

She had even prepared healing potions for him.

However, this…

This was entirely different from her imagination.

"Ugh! You bastard! How dare you attack our base alone!? Are you looking down on us!?" A Master Stage Cultivator roared in anger as he rushed towards the pale-skinned man from behind with a sword in his hand.

However, just before his sword could cut him, the man's body burst into Blood Mist, his sword then cut the Blood Mist into two-part but as if it was alive, Blood Mist moved behind him and then merged.

Before the Master Stage Cultivator could react, the Blood Mist turned into the Pale Faced Man again and the man slashed his sword, severing the Master Stage Cultivator's head.

"…"

The humans that had surrounded Azriel turned silent.

They have never seen something like that before.

"That's Misting! A Vampire's ability! Don't panic! Remember, once he transforms into that form, capture him with your Mana! He won't be able to resist!" William instructed.

Although he has never faced a pure-blooded Vampire before, he had read about their abilities, so he knew Blood Mist's weakness as well.

"We outnumber him! Attack him together!" One of the Master Stage Cultivators roared as he rushed towards Azriel.

However, this time, Azriel didn't move.

'Do not Stay in one place'

He was breaking that rule.

A cultivator slashed his sword and Azriel turned into Blood Mist again.

William, who didn't attack and was waiting for this, used his Mana to try to capture Azriel as he roared.

"Now! He is vulnerable now! Capture him with your Mana! Don't try physical attacks! They are useless!"

The humans nodded and raised their hands, different waves of Mana attacked the Blood Mist, however, before the Mana could reach it.

The Blood Mist burst apart and disappeared.

"W-What?"

"W-Where did it go?"

"What happened?"

The Cultivators stood there in daze.

However, soon, a human's eyes widened in surprise.

"B-Behind you!" He screamed as he pointed at another human.

However, he didn't get the reaction he thought he would.

Instead of panicking and jumping back, the other human pointed his finger at him,

"Behind you!"

"Behind You!"

"Behind you!"

The same scene happened and soon, the humans realized.

The Blood Mist was behind every single human, it had divided itself into 23 parts.

The humans didn't know how to react, Azriel then chose the Human who was the most defenceless and appeared behind him.

While his body was forming, all 22 Mist rushed towards him quickly and before the human could react, fully formed Azriel beheaded him.

*Slash*

*Thud*

From choosing the Next Target to killing him, it only took half a second.

'W-What… What happened?'

This time, even William was surprised.

He knew about Misting Skill the Vampires have, he knew that Misting allows the Vampire to ignore any physical damage.

He also knew the Mist could be divided into parts by cutting it.

Yes, if you cut the Mist, it divides into 2 before merging again.

But since when could a vampire divide his 'Mist' by his own will!?

When did that happen!?

Why has he never heard of it!?

Before William could think too much, Azriel turned into Mist and disappeared.

Again, he 'appeared' behind every single human.

Yes, he was looking at 20+ humans at the same time, these 20+ spots, he can appear here whenever he wants.

Soon, he chose another target, all the Mist rushed towards him and the target was beheaded.

*Slash*

Then, Azriel turned into Mist again.

"W-What is that ability!?"

"H-How is he doing that!?"

Panic fell among humans as they stood at the same spot, stiff.

"Don't panic! Use your Mana! He can't reform his body if you capture the Mist! Capture the Mist that is in front of you and we will win!" William raised his sword and roared.

The humans reacted quickly and used their Mana to capture the Mist in front of them.

However, the Mist moved in a high speed, Azriel's body formed behind another human and he beheaded him.

*Slash*

*Thud*

3rd human was killed similarly.

However for the next target, Azriel didn't turn into Mist again, he just smile as he rushed toward the Human closest to him and since the human was too focused on using Mana, he couldn't react in time and was beheaded.

*Slash*

Only now, did the humans realize the problem.

Mana might be the weakness of this being's ability, however, only they needed to use Pure Mana to do that.

They weren't using Mana to fuel their skills like the usual, they were controlling pure Mana.

This required concentration.

However, that was where the problem starts, if they are too concentrated on using Mana and capturing Azriel, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves if The Vampire attacks them normally.

Similarly, if they concentrate on defending themselves from Vampire's normal attack, they wouldn't be able to defend once he uses his Mist Ability.

Confused, humans couldn't do anything as Azriel moved around killing them with ease.

20+ Humans were standing still against a single Vampire, while the Vampire moved around, beheading them like they were bugs.

Most humans didn't even get the chance to swing their swords before they die.

"Hey! He's there! Use your Mana! Capture him!"

"No, you idiot! Don't do that! He is in his normal form! Use your sword to defend!"

"What are you doing!?"

"Attack him! Kill him!"

"You Bastard! Fight fairly if you have guts! I'll show you who the real boss i-" one of the humans challenged, however, before he could even complete, he was beheaded.

*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

Many heads and headless bodies fell on the ground and coloured the ground red.

Blood flowed like a river, the scene was quite horrifying.

What was even more horrifying was Azriel who moved beheaded humans without saying a single word.

Of course, from the big smile, Ithania knew that he was enjoying every second of it.

The battl- massacre continued.

Rather than 20+ humans surrounding a Vampire, it was more like 1 Vampire had 'surrounded' 20+ humans.

However, just as humans were falling in despair, a loud laugh was heard.

"HAHAHAHAHA! I captured it! I Captured this Bastard!"

A Master Stage Cultivator laughed crazily as he captured a part of Blood Mist with his Mana.

William and the other humans were overjoyed!

Hope!

They could finally see hope!

"Grea-"

William wanted to praise, however,

The rest of Azriel's 'pieces' rushed towards the man at a speed so quick that no one could react.

The Mist then merged, and Azriel, who had a huge smile on his face appeared.

However, this time, something was different, Azriel's right foot wasn't there.

"Nice Try, Cattle."

With that, he beheaded the man.

*Slash*

*Thud*

The Mana under than Man dispersed and the 'Mist' that was now free rushed towards Azriel, forming his feet.

"H-How… i-is this possible?"

William muttered in shock and not only him, even Ithania who was watching the situation from afar couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

Ithania knew how this skill worked. She knew it better than William.

"The body can never be formed unless the Mist is not merged completely…"

This was simply not possible!

"H-How did he do it…?"

Ithania questioned out loud.

However, before she could think of anything, a heavy, suffocating pressure descended on everyone present.

The pressure was so great that even Azriel, who took Luminia's killing intent head-on, fell to his knees, unable to move.

Azriel's body trembled.

It trembled in fear and Azriel's eyes widened in shock.

His blood, which didn't allow him to feel fear even when he faced Luminia, that blood was unable to do anything against this heavy pressure.

This shocked Azriel to the core of his being and he questioned in a hoarse voice.

"W-Who…?"
