Chapter 817: The Price Of Arrogance [Part 2]
Lyall had long wanted to test how she would fare against a Demigod, so she was feeling very excited as she charged in Godfrey's direction.
With a glance, Godfrey could tell that the handsome man in the lead had great combat ability, but he wasn't too worried since he had fought many others with the same level.
And frankly, he enjoyed seeing the despair on the faces of these people the moment they realized that, no matter how hard they hit him, their blows would be unable to kill him.
He wasn't an immortal, but due to his incredibly fast regeneration, he was the closest being in the world to immortality.
With a punch that could shatter a boulder to pieces, Lyall's fist headed straight towards Godfrey's face.
Originally, he intended to accept the blows thrown at him, but the Vampire Lord didn't want to let anyone hit his handsome face.
Because of this, he raised his hand to block Lyall's fist, catching it firmly with his hand.
Instead of being surprised, Lyall's left fist smashed into Godfrey's chest, making the latter take two steps back.
Conall, who was right behind his sister, grabbed hold of Godfrey's head and smashed it into his knee several times before pushing the Vampire Lord away a bit so that his back kick would connect, which sent Godfrey flying.
Nicole, who was waiting for that moment, conjured a giant block of ice and smashed it on Godfrey's body, making the spectators of the battle gasp in shock.
"T-They killed Lord Godfrey!"
"Damn! Are they serious?!"
"Call the guards! A murder has been done!"
The people, who were watching the battle, started to stir, with a few of them heading back to the city to report what was happening near the lakeside.
But before they could go far, the block of ice that was pinning the body of the Vampire Lord to the ground was tossed toward the lake, making a big splash.
"Seriously, why do mongrels always target my handsome face?" Godfrey stood up as the injuries that Conall and Nicole had dealt him healed at a rapid pace. "Are all of you just jealous of my god-given looks?"
"Well sh*t," Lyall muttered under her breath. "This guy is indeed tough."
The people who were watching couldn't believe what they were seeing.
They really thought that no one could possibly survive such an attack, yet there the most popular and arguably the most good-looking noble in the City of Cashel stood, casually dusting off his robes.
"I don't mind getting hit, but stop targeting my face," Godfrey smirked. "If you hit my face again, I'm going to get angry."
Lyall and Conall exchanged a glance and nodded their heads at the same time.
The two of them then charged in the Vampire Lord's direction before transforming into Werewolves.
The brother and sister pair intended to unleash their full powers against Godfrey and defeat them with their combination attacks.
"Werewolves?" Godfrey frowned. "I wouldn't have thought that Lady Ethel would be accompanied by two dogs. It seems that I need to properly discipline the two of you."
Vampires and Werewolves didn't get along with each other.
With this in mind, Godfrey decided to no longer take their attacks passively and also took a step forward to clash against his two opponents.
"I called you Mongrels earlier, and it seemed that I was right," Godfrey laughed as he blocked the attacks of the two Werewolves at the same time.
The three combatants were moving so fast that their clashes looked like an action movie being played in fast forward.
To Ethan's surprise, the Vampire Lord was able to hold his ground against Lyall and Conall's combined assault.
But he could also tell that Godfrey was unable to push them back either.
The Vampire Lord, who originally thought that he could easily overpower his opponents, couldn't help but frown.
The Werewolves he was currently fighting against were neither stronger, faster, nor deadlier than the ones whom he had fought in the past.
However, Lyall's and Conall's teamwork was impeccable, covering each other's weaknesses perfectly. Slowly but surely, they were pushing the Vampire Lord back with each blow that they gave.
To make matters worse, Nicole's Ice Shards and Ice Spikes were attacking the Demigod from the sky and the ground, limiting his maneuverability.
The Ice Spikes that embedded themselves deep into Godfrey's body gave Lyall and Conall many opportunities to land their blows on the Vampire Noble's face, chest, and other vital locations that would force ordinary people to gasp in pain.
It was at that moment that Godfrey understood that his opponents were fighting him with the intent to cripple him.
"You bastards!" Godfrey shouted in anger as a powerful aura exploded from his body, pushing Lyall and Conall backwards. "No more mister nice guy. I'm going to cripple all of you!"
Godfrey's eyes turned blood red, and his fangs extended. Now that he realized he was not in a position to hold back against his opponents, he decided to really go all out and destroy them. Lyall and Conall, who had lost their momentum, once again took a step forward and closed the distance between them and Godfrey in a heartbeat.
A moment later, Lyall grunted in pain as she was sent flying with Godfrey's kick, aimed at her abdomen.
The Vampire Lord then unleashed an explosive punch toward Conall, but the latter managed to dodge to the side and unleash a counter punch, which landed on the side of Godfrey's body.
As someone who had sparred with their father almost everyday of his life, Conall wasn't fazed by the strength Godfrey was exuding right now.
Sure, he was indeed very strong. But in terms of raw strength, speed, and power, his father, Seff, was superior to the Vampire Lord in every way.
Of course, that didn't mean that Godfrey wasn't strong.
Even with his best, Conall was finding it difficult to exchange blows with the Vampire Lord because every blow made him feel as if he was punching a steel plate.
Godfrey's blows also connected with the Werewolf's body, making Conall take a few steps back whenever they connected.
Although he also had a regeneration ability, like most Beastkins did, it wasn't as exaggerated as the Vampire Lord's, which could easily heal his moderate injuries in seconds.
'Sh*t!' Conall cursed internally. With the current situation, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he lost in the contest of strength.
If not for Nicole supporting him from the side and unleashing well-timed Ice Spikes that shot upward from the ground, Conall would have been seriously injured by now. "You annoying pest!" Godfrey made a slashing gesture, and a crimson blade flew toward Nicole's direction, forcing her to jump to her right side and roll over on the ground to evade it.
A second later, the ground where she originally stood was cut in half, extending down to a
dozen meters deep.
Having recovered from the Vampire Lord's kick earlier, Lyall appeared behind Godfrey, intending to execute a sneak attack on him, but the Vampire Lord seemed to have sensed her and unleashed a backhand blow, which once again sent her flying.
"I've had enough!" Godfrey blocked Conall's punch and bit into his arm, digging deep into his muscles and drawing blood.
The Werewolf cried out in pain, but he still managed to kick the Vampire Lord away, freeing himself from his bite.
"As expected, the blood of Mongrels like you is disgusting," Godfrey sneered before shifting his attention to the young beauty, who was standing dozens of meters away from him and eyeing him with a wary gaze.
"You don't seem surprised, My Lady," Godfrey said. "Did you already know my nature?"
Ethan didn't answer the Vampire Lord's question because he knew that if he did, the other
party might raise his guard.
Instead, he pointed his wand at Godfrey and cast a spell.
"Sing with me," Ethan said.
"Illumina!"
The Mermaid Princess materialized behind Ethan, which made the Vampire Lord's eyes widen
in shock.
"You!" Godfrey pointed at the Mermaid Princess in disbelief. "Why are you here?!"
But instead of answering his question, Illumina unleashed a concentrated beam of water, one powerful enough to cut a diamond in half, in his direction, forcing the Vampire Lord to take
evasive actions.
