Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

"Noel or what the damn your name is? Just how long are you going to observe? Isn't this enough?"

Feng Ruoxi shouted loudly, frustrated by the situation.

Her voice echoed through the place startling everyone. Even Terpas was taken by surprise.

The hawks and ravens circling in the sky, let out a piercing shriek and glided away toward the forest from where a man covered in a cloak of darkness emerged.

His steps oddly resonated with the rainfall. There was something ominous, something eerie that stifled Terpa's heart.

The momentary lapse broke Terpa's control, liberating everyone from the haunting pain.

Kratos, Helsa, and Linglin, who grunted in pain rolling on the ground, lifted their pale bloodless faces and we were shocked to see Leon's aura.

"Strong!"

That's what they felt from the pressure radiating from him. It was as if the difference between the man they seemed previously and knew was vastly apart.

Leon had hardly stepped into the periphery when a blood-like figure coagulated with blood-red energy sped through and pounced on Leon.

"What a grand welcome!"

Leon smiled as he watched himself being encircled by adversaries.

"Simply cutting scratch or explosion won't work as they're gonna on them so…"

SWOOSH!

A trail of fumes as dark as a black hole erupted from him. With a swift motion, he unleashed a torrent of dark flames creating a vortex that shot out piercing spikes in the oncoming horde.

The eerie glow of flames lit up his face as the humanoid bloody minion's body was struck by dark spikey darkness that started burning their existence.

Soon they succumbed to the flames.

"What a sinister and ominous power is this?"

"Darkness...Death...Destruction...No, it seems the combination of all. A primordial ancient power unbeknownst to anyone just like Goddess Nyx we worship, "Terpa's expression became tense as he murmured.

"You know a lot."

"Hahahahaha!"Terpas started laughing out loud.

"Human, don't underestimate me. I am not a normal Vampire. I am someone who is older than your family lineage."

"So, why are you here? For vacation?"Leon asked with a sneer.

Hearing this, Terpas face contorted and morphed.

"You don't know who you are messing with? If not for being betrayed by my kins and forced to flee for my life, I wouldn't be here."

Leon stared at Terpas' expression for a moment with a look unbeknownst to anyone.

'You want to play, huh?'

"You are most probably a prince, right?"Leon asked with a questioning gaze.

Terpas flinched back upon hearing this.

Leon, ignoring his stupefied expression, kept on murmuring"You can't be a king as all kings have their secret guards. So, you can only be the Prince who has the highest chance of inheriting the crown but you were ambushed, and then by many many coincidences, etc...You found a human group of which you killed a few and controlled others to come here. This place is a perfect hiding place, but the only problem is your power regressed a lot and you need to get stronger so that you can avert any unfortunate crisis."

CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!

"From your tone, I don't know if you guessed it because you are very intelligent or you have read so many stories."

Leon ignored Terpas' ridicule and glanced at Feng Ruoxi to ask the question he was much worried about.

"How did you find me?"

The battle was quite loud and with his informer birds, he had arrived quite early but instead of helping he waited.

Waited to observe his enemy's power and for him to tire up. True to the stories, the Vampire was quite a formidable species.

"Purity....My flames have the power of purification. I can sense ominous things.''Feng Ruoxi's answer attracted both Leon's and Terpas's curiosity.

"What an unusual girl!"Leon commented, smacking his lips.

"That's why I want her. If she managed to inherit my Blood Mystic power and combine it with flames, I truly wonder what sort of surprise she will give me."Terpas smacked his lips, eyeing Feng Ruoxi greedily.

Leon felt deja vu hearing this as he remembered one of his favorite Vampire protagonists.

A true Chad among Chad...An unstoppable monster capable of wielding the power of many clans.

The moment Leon was lost in thought, a pitch-dark monster thrashed onto his chest.

BOOM!

Leon managed to react, at the last moment and crossed his arms to defend but the terrifying coercion due to the clash pushed him back.

Leon propelled strength into his legs to stand firmly on the ground but he found that he had been pushed back dozens of meters by Terpas. Moreover, there were two big dark marks underneath his feet.

meters by Terpas. Moreover, there were two big dark marks underneath his feet.

"I thought you weren't focusing," Terpas clicked his tongue in annoyance, as he noticed no scratch marks on Leon's arms.

All it did was tear off the layer of clothes.

Terpas flapped his wings rising into the sky.

A puddle of blood emerged behind him forming sharp spikes.

"SHIT!"

Cursing aloud, Leon ran away with all his might.

[Nimbus Steps]

Activating a nimble step, Leon's speed accelerated leaving behind a blur.

Sprinting, he carefully weaved through, dodging dozens of blood spikes hurling toward him. With each step, he turned his feet oddly, taking an abrupt turn.

The bloody spikes whir through the air, creating a dent and blasting the ground on which they struck.

Leon gritted his teeth, looking back.

Terpas was flying right behind him and the bloody spike after the collision would turn liquid again and fly back.

'I can't go on like this.'

Leon, with a leap of fate, turned around summoning Exitus to form a shield and channeling all his strength into his leg, propelling himself upwards while unfolding his bonus wings and flapping to boost his momentum.

BOOM!

The ground underneath broke apart due to the mighty force as Leon shot up like a missile.

The blood spike bounced back and was deflected by the spear.

Terpas smiled and flapping his wings, dived down letting gravity to the work.

Cutting through the air and leaving behind a shattering sound, the two figures clashed in mid-air, creating a crisp sound of striking thunder.

BOOOOM!
