The Yamato Blade was plated with silver. Werewolf feared silver in the same way that vampires feared sunlight. A blade made of silver was deadly to the werewolves.
In this battle, Lucius didnât want to change the Yamato Blade with a silver weapon. Because he couldnât think of any weapons that were deadly enough to kill the werewolf. A weapon is a tool to kill. First, he had to make sure it wonât break when slashing his target. The same goes for humans.
The werewolfâs only eye glowed with radiant golden light, like that of a snake. Luciusâ hand gently stroked the Yamato Bladeâs blade⌠the moment the blade reflected the werewolfâs eyes, they both moved!
The werewolf trampled the blood river above the ground, the concrete ground beneath the city sank with a tremendous roar. This time, Lucius could see the trajectory of the werewolfâs claws swinging! In a tense state, Lucius doubled his reaction speed and was finally able to keep up with the werewolfâs speed!
The werewolf clashing its claws against the moonlight, and the Yamato Blade slashed the werewolfâs wrist from above!
âClash!â
The blade sunk into the werewolfâs wrist! Howling in pain, the werewolf let out a painful cry as hot blood spilled over Luciusâ face. The liquid silver-coated on the Yamato Blade surface was a poison that seeps deep into the marrow! There was a corrosion hissing sound at the werewolfâs wound. The burn was even worse than being burnt by fire.
The werewolfâs injury did not cause its speed to drop. Its claws, the same length as the Yamato Blade, stabbed Luciusâ neck. At the same time, the blade was gleaming with a dazzling azure luster. Cutting through the space!
Lucius released the Yamato Bladeâs power to cut through space at such a close distance. After dodging the werewolfâs claws, the blade sharpened up, and Lucius held the hilt with both hands. Using all the strength, he had to block the werewolfâs claws upwards!
A crescent moon appeared around Luciusâ body, an illusion caused by the Yamato Blade. The thing that blocked the trajectory of the Yamato Blade was split in two by this strike! One of the werewolfâs claws was cleanly cut off by a single stroke of the blade!
Blood!
Blood splattered all over Luciusâ bodyâŚ
The scent of blood was appealing to Lucius, but his sanity remained!
He was just a few seconds late, but the wolf took this chance! He had sliced off one of its claws, but it still had another claw. Opening its mouth to bite at Luciusâ shoulder, while the other claws pierced his body. The tip of its claw pierced through Luciusâ skin, deep into his muscles, just an inch away from gouging out and crushing his beating heart! But the werewolf was one step ahead and bit his shoulder!
âIs that all?â One of his hands was weakened, so what? Lucius quickly switched the blade to the other hand, his scarlet eyes gleamed with murderous intent. Aiming the blade at the werewolfâs neck, âThen die!!!â
The Yamato Blade pierced the werewolfâs back! Bloodstained its grey-black fur and stained Luciusâ hand. A little deeper! Lucius endured the pain in his shoulder and poured his full strength into the blade! Piercing through its heart!
The werewolf was keenly aware of the danger, but the blade was coated with liquid silver. Letting out a deep growl, its claws gripped on Luciusâ arm, after that, its sharp teeth biting Luciusâ shoulder hard with all its strength! Cracking his bones and tearing his muscles, Luciusâ body was like a ragged and unwanted puppet. His entire arm ripped from his body, revealing the tattered âcottonâ inside.
The werewolf slammed Lucius out of the way, crashing into the wall of an abandoned building behind. Stirring up a cloud of dust before collapsing onto the sea of blood on the ground.
âHha⌠hhaâŚ.â Lucius let out a painful gasp and struggled to get up. Looking at his bloodied shoulder, and then at the werewolf. His right hand was torn by the werewolf. Instead of eating its hunted prey like a proper predator, the werewolf tossed the broken limb aside.
âWhatâs wrong? If I were you, this fight would have ended a moment ago.â Lucius used his only remaining left hand to support his body.
The werewolfâs speed and strength were faster than Lucius. If he had chosen to chase after Lucius, it could have pierced its claws through Luciusâ heart.
But it didnât, not because it didnât want to!
Looking at the werewolfâs severed arm that was fuming with a white cloud, and the Yamato Blade pierced through its back. The silver toxin was starting to kick in. The werewolf⌠was slowing down its heartbeat and blood flow to get rid of the liquid silver that had invaded its body. The liquid silverâs effect was permanent!
The werewolf pulled out the Yamato Blade piercing its body and threw it away in the opposite direction from Lucius! Like a stray bullet, the thrown blade sliced through several abandoned buildings and went missing.
Now, Lucius had lost his weapon.
Even his condition wasnât much better. Aside from losing his left arm, the muscles in his chest and abdomen were also torn. There were about three fractures in his ribs. Not to mention the state of his body, the werewolfâs claws pierced through his lungs! The blood mixed in his body wasnât just the enemyâs blood, but also his own. Most of his blood had flowed and gathered into a river on the ground.
Blood was his weapon!
Luciusâ proficiency in using the Yamato Blade didnât even come close to entry-level. And the most powerful weapon he really used was supposed to be the thing that kept the vampire alive.
BloodâŚ
Endless blood!!
It might have thought that Lucius was on the brink of defeat, but it was wrong. A prey in a trap is often the best time for the hunter to shoot.
So, Lucius shot.
âSorry, you only taught me how to shoot!â
Lucius had thought that the blade forged from blood had no chance of breaking the werewolfâs defense, and only the Yamato Blade would cut through the space. But right now, a river of silver-plated blood flowed beneath his feet.
