<h4>Chapter 683 Arad Vs d: Part VI An Old Golden Light</h4>


    As the me settled and the dust and debris started falling from the sky, Arad expanded his wings, "Let''s check on him,"


    "Yeah," Eris replied, "Last time he survived an even stronger st. Not to say this is a weak one,"


    "Half the power of the first one," Arad started flying, "But this had your holy magic. It should deal more damage to him than the first one,"


    Arad flew across the sea, seeing it slowly turning dark from the ash and charred remains of the ind as he approached the beach. CRACK! Uponnding, he looked around to see a massive hole, several hundred meters in diameter, in the middle of the ind. The fire still burned in it.


    "The me," Eris giggled, "It''s a holy fire," She tapped Arad''s teeth. "Can I get on your back?"


    "No, stay in my jaw. I can protect you easier and faster like this," Arad replied, closing his jaw and only leaving her a small hole between his teeth to stare out from.


    Arad slowly climbed down the hole using his ws. He looked like a cat going down a wall, quicklynding at the base. "Now, where is he?"


    "Probably evaporated? Holy magic disintegrates vampires into ash," Eris replied.


    "My guts are telling me he''s alive," Arad said, sniffing the ground. Like a cat, he has to inspect his kill.


    "You sound more like Alcott," She remembered how Alcott and Vasilissa kept arguing.


    "That''s probably a good thing," Arad giggled, "His guts were right after all,"


    Arad turned his head and stared at the center of the hole, "d, I know you''re alive. You might''ve escaped the god''s punishment, but you aren''t escaping me. I haven''t cut your balls yet,"


    "You still on about that?" Eris sighed,


    "You still on about that?" Another voice said the same thing.


    "Ha..." Eris gasped, looking forward.


    CRACK! Two arms emerged from the ground,bing their fingers with a loud p.


    [Blood Expansion: Castle Of The Dead]


    Arad could feel his bones quiver, and he sensed Eris crawling into a ball inside him, shivering, "He''sing," She mumbled.


    The ck sky of the night turned red as the see around the ind turned into blood. The hole where Arad was got inverted outward, rising as a tall, steep mountain with arge castle on top of it.


    Arad flew out to the beach and stared at the new mountain, seeing rivers of blood gushing down from the castle''s base.


    "So this is his expansion?" Arad swallowed Eris back into his stomach to protect her then opened his jaw, charging a breath.


    CRACK! Some fast flew past, punching him in the face. Arad turned his head, "You..." He growled, seeing Chuzuke flying there with red skin.


    BAM! A bolt flew out of nowhere, hitting Arad''s face. He looked, seeing the vampire he killed around his house in the past.


    "Whenever a vampire dies, whether by holy magic or not, the blood I gave them, or gave their ancestors returns to me where their souls shall rest for the rest of time," d said, standing at one of his castle''s balconies, staring down at Arad.


    From the mountain and the ground around him, several millions of spikes emerged from the ground with crying people on them, skewered from the butt to the throat, and dripping blood on the ground.


    d lifted his hand, staring down with red glowing eyes, "I swear, my people. I shall be your only king for the rest of time,"


    "Bastard," Arad growled, "There are children there as well,"


    "Humans also eatmb. They take it as a delicacy even." d replied, "You''re a dragon, like me. You''ve eaten humans before. I can smell it, feel it,"


    "I did," Arad replied, "But not children, only bandits..." At that moment, it dawned on Arad, "I see, so this is why the gods never dropped a holy sword to kill you,"


    "Ho? What did you guess,"


    "Human andmb," Arad growled, "Only those at the top of the food chain can be vampires."


    Arad looked at the sky, [Secretly trying to assess the range of d''s Expansion]. "Vampirism exists to bnce those races by creating natural predators for them, from them."


    "Completly eradicating us would throw the world out of bnce, and leaving us to grow in numbers would do the same." d replied, "The gods always try to trim our numbers by sending in pdins, but they''ll nevere to purge us from existence,"


    "I see," Arad took a step forward, and an extra pair of arms emerged from his shoulders. "I''m not the gods,"


    CRACK! He grew a second pair of bat wings and a long furry tail, pping beside his dragon tail.


    "I do not care for the bnce of the world," Two pairs of eyes burst on Arad''s head as four horns grew out of his skull, leaving him with six horns and eyes.


    Chuzuke and thousands of vampires flooded toward Arad like a tsunami.


    Light emerged from between Arad''s scales as he started disintegrating matter with his void and releasing the heat out, sting the vampires that got close into ash.


    Arad pped his wings and started slowly flying up, "Time to finish this fight,"


    ROAAAAAAAAAAA! A roar came from the sky, and d looked up, "Who?"... He gasped, seeing a red barefoot just above his face.


    CRACK! Nina stomped his face, pushing him through the balcony and the castle''s walls until they reached the ground.


    As Nina stomped d''s head to the ground, he twisted his body and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back. "How can you move? I''m sure you''re in my blood control?" He growled, standing as he healed.


    CRACK! Nina stood, her massive axe on her shoulder.


    d extended his hand toward her, [Blood Control] At that moment, he could see it, a massive lizard ring back at him. Nina''s blood rejected his control.


    "I see, the tarrasque''s blood." He giggled, "Even I, the vampire king, I''m still too weak to control it,"


    Nina roared, lunging at him, swinging her battle axe, cutting his arm off. The blood in his arm exploded, shattering the severed limb and damaging the stem left in d''s arm.


    d jumped back, "But I''m sure you can''t fly, and even you won''t be able to jump over the sea and fall from such high," He looked at the sky, "How did youe?"


    CRACK! The sky cracked, and two massive dragons flew in, a second Arad and arge silver drakaina.


    d''s eyes opened wide, "Gin? She''s still alive?" He gasped, "And why is there..." He looked at Arad who stood before him, seeing him staring back at him with a cheeky grin.


    "VLAD!" A deep rumbling voice crackled from the sky as a golden w half as big as Arad emerged from the dark clouds, "You dare harm my daughter?!" Kinryuu extended his massive head down from the sky, ring down at d with his massive whiskers crackling with fire and lightning.


    "If he''s here," d growled, ring back at Arad, "You bastard!"


    "Of course, I don''t care if it''s fair or not," Aradughed at him, "I can beat you on my own, but I''ll drag the metallic dragons with me just in case you try to escape,"


    CRACK! Kinryuu flew toward the ground, shifting into his humanoid form andnding between Vald and Nina.


    "How can you move?" d red at him.


    "I''ve no obligation to exin myself to you," Kinryuu replied.


    He turned toward Nina, "Go help Arad deal with the flood of Vampires. I''ll beat this idiot,"


    BAM! Nina jumped toward Arad while Kinryuu approached d, cracking his knuckles.


    "You really think you can take me on your own? Metallic general?" d smiled.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not going to kill you. I''m only here to cool my rage and crack a few of your bones," Kinryuu''s muscles started expanding as his long white beard danced with the wind.


    BAM! d lunged forward, swinging his sword at Kinryuu''s neck. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    CRACK! Kinryuu caught d''s arm, twisting it with both hands like he was squeezing water out of an old rag. He grabbed d by the neck, plucked his eyes out, and started iling him around, smacking him into the ground and stones at an unbelievable speed.


    ****


    CRACK! Arad''s clone and Ginnded beside Arad, "The other dragons are waiting outside d''s expansion. The blood control inside is too much for them to handle,"


    "I know," Arad replied, "My Gemini clone was with you," He and the clone merged, "Stay in ce and don''t move," Arad lifted his front ws, putting them together.


    Gin nodded and sat in ce.


    [Void Expansion: Devouring Void]


    ^[To separate them from d, there is only one way.]^ Doma smiled as Arad''s void expanded, swallowing the flood of vampires rushing toward them.


    CRACKLE! Kinryuu punched d in the face, sending him skipping on dirt until he smacked into the base of the mountain.


    "How could you move? I can''t sense your blood," d growled.


    "Won''t say," Kinryuu looked back, "Arad seems to have taken care of your army. It''s high time we finished this."
