[Island]
Sensing the enemy had gotten stronger, Lorius then begun applying various buffs on Akito as he said.
"Hey stall some time for me"
When Akito heard his words, he immediately nodded in agreement, as he quickly entered into a stance and faced Vesper in all seriousness. In this moment even if Lorius never told him anything, Akito entered into his state in order to deal with Vesper. After all at this very moment if Vesper can grow stronger the more enemies he killed, then everyone outside his castle is basically his nutrition to get stronger.
If Vesper ever thought of stalling for time and targeted everyone outside that are fighting his minions, then he could grow exponentially that even both him and Lorius would have a hard time to defeat even if they work together.
Without a single signal, Akito charged forward as he step closer towards his target before swinging down his sword. Upon seeing this, Vesper simply smiled as he parried his sword with his claws before conjuring a blood blade on his other hand, and swinging it directly towards his neck.
Unfortunately Akito saw through this quick exchange, as he quickly duck down in order to dodge the attack aiming at his neck, before swinging his sword upward, which was confronted by vespers heels when he immediately did a spinning kick towards him.
Staggering back from having his attack intercepted by a kick, Akito quickly jumped back in as he swung towards Vesper's neck, only to miss when the latter tilted his head to the side.
However his attack didn't end there, as Akito quickly spun around and immediately targeted Vesper's legs. However this took was dodged when Vesper immediately jumped back in order to avoid his sword.
Due to this Akito then immediately chased after him in a single step, only to realize that Vesper had led him to take such action by jumping back. The moment Akito chased after Vesper, the latter immediately swung down his blood sword, forcing Akito to quickly block the attack and get blown back to the side.
"You blocked that?" Asked by Vesper in astonishment.
When Vesper saw that Akito was able to react fast enough to defend himself in that split moment decision, he couldn't help but hide his excitement as he wonders what more can this pair of humans show in order to entertain him. With that he then turned his attention towards Lorius, as he charged towards him with an hidden intention in mind.
Upon seeing that the enemy had changed target, Akito couldn't help but click his tongue in annoyance, as he quickly stood up and chased after Vesper was fast as he could. But just as he was about to reach him in arms length, Vesper suddenly dispersed into mist, as he re-appeared behind him, only to make Akito realize that this was another feint.
"Crap!"
Before Akito could even do anything, Vesper suddenly grabbed the back of his head, as he smashed it down to the ground, before he threw him across the room tk crash unto the stacks of support beams from afar.
After dealing with Akito, Vesper then turned his attention towards Lorius, only to be met by numerous range attacks coming his way.
"Luminous Barrage!!!"
Forced to dodge all of those attacks, Vesper used his hyper intuition and sensitivity to find a gap within the barrage and use such space to dodge Lorius attacks. With that he manage to come out of the attack unscathed as he enhanced the lethality of his claws and attack Lorius with a thrust.
However at the right moment when Vesper got close, Lorius had quickly put up a barrier around him, as he protected himself from the attack, while also giving him ample time to cast another spell.
"Pyro Blast!!!"
Raising his hand towards Vesper, a huge amount of flame then came out from the magic circle he conjured, only to miss when Vesper suddenly blinked behind Lorius.
"Razor Claw!!!"
As Vesper swung his sharp claws at Lorius, the latter himself had somewhat predicted his attack pattern, as he suddenly used a type of speed buff magic in order to accelerate the movement of his whole body. In that split second, something akin to impossible happened, as he suddenly turned around and caught Vesper's wrist.
After that Lorius then conjured a blade of light from his other free hand and swung it towards Vesper's head. However Vesper suddenly turned into a mob of bats, as it suddenly lounged towards Lorius, causing him to stumble on the floor.
Reappearing behind him, Vesper thrust his claws towards Lorius head, only to miss when the latter suddenly tilted his head to the side and grabbed his hand before proceeding to break its elbow.
After that Lorius casted a layered compound magic, as he targeted their location, while simultaneously popping up a barrier around his body.
"Compoud triple layer magic: Thunder Strike!!!"
By doing this, the Thunder strike spell would become three times stronger and much more destructive than its ordinary counterpart. This was done since Lorius had taken note of Vesper insane amount of durability towards magic.
Unfortunately such magic was still not enough to even pierce through deep his flesh and only capable enough to give him a burn. Due to that a simply regeneration was enough to recover from such attack, as he grabbed Lorius by the nape and threw him a couple of blocks away.
Due to that Lorius rolled on the ground, as he quickly anchored himself using gravity magic, while quickly standing up in order to fight back against the enemy. However the moment he stood up, Vesper had already thrown his blood spear and was about to hit Lorius right eyeball.
But before the spear could fully hit its target, Akito timely intercepted the attack by swinging his blade in front of Lorius in a timely manner. Due to that he was able to prevent Lorius from losing an eye and was at the perfect distance to deliver his counter.
Without wasting any time Akito dashed towards Vesper in a single breath, as he swung his blade while also using his own swordmanship skill.
"Tomura's Second offensive sword form Takai kinchō (High Strung)"
As if a huge amount of frequency had enveloped his sword, Akito manage to cut off Vesper's left hand, as he aimed and prepared himself to cut off its remaining elbow.
However Vesper suddenly felt the threat from Akito's swing, as he quickly used the blood spilling out from his detached hand to form a thousand needle and assault Akito. Due to this, Akito was forced to change back to the defensive as he deal with Vesper's counter.
"Tomura's First defensive sword form Tamari Mizu (Still Water)"+"Tomura's Second defensive sword form Bunkatsu katto (Splitting Cut)"
Layering one skill after another, Akito was able to deal with the thousand needle, which surprised even Vesper himself. Nevertheless this intense match excites him as he instantly regenerated his hand and conjured a dual blood sword.
"Blood Moon Stride!!!"
Rushing towards him with its footwork of slaughter, Akito then countered his footwork, with his very own in order to follow the flow of his attacks.
"Tomura's Second Tactical Sword Form Sakura no odori (Dance of the cherry blossom)"
With that both Vesper and Akito clash over and over again as their own footwork fought against one another in order to get an advantage over the other. In this very moment the whole room itself became their battlefield, as they continously move in between their clashes.
Soon after they then crash out of the room and unto the hall, until they reached the staircase leading down to one level, before they fought in the main hall.
Not long after the fight expanded outside the castle and unto the front yard as various students and vampires were caught up in the battle, turning everything into a chaotic mess.
Amidst all of that Vesper's laugh could be heard as he truly enjoyed himself.
