Chapter 896 Blood Domination

While Liam clashed with the two vampire lords, Luna did not stand simply and pounced on one of the vampire lords, the one who cast the undead buff and rolled him over on the ground.
Liam warned her to be careful, but according to what he had seen, the vampire lord should probably only have the power to buff the undead, so he allowed her to go wild.
Besides, as a beast, she wanted to fight, and he did not want to restrain her natural instincts too much. True to her nature, she as well relentlessly attacked the vampire.
The vampire lord couldn't hold up to her speed and strength, and the sword in his hands fell down in a matter of seconds.
Growl! Growl! Growl! Growl!
She began going crazy on the vampire lord and mauled him with her paws covered by her deadly flames. She roasted the vampire mercilessly.
However, before she could finish him off completely, the blood sword disappeared, and instead, the blood sphere manifested, protecting the poor vampire.
Luna tirelessly scratched the blood barrier and spat out her flames on the thing repeatedly, wanting to break it down somehow.
Growl! She roared angrily.
When Luna was fighting with the blood barrier, Liam also triggered the other vampire lord's blood barrier as he slammed him down again and again.
Amidst the chaotic battlefield, these two blood spheres shone brilliantly as if they were impenetrable fortresses.
This outcome did not please the real vampire lord, who was now more closely paying attention to the fight.
"Damn it! Did I send these idiots to turtle like this?" The little kid was livid with anger. "Stop messing around and finish this fight already!"
He gnashed his teeth as it was simply too frustrating to see these two flailing about in the midst of a battleground. It was way too embarrassing for him to be associated with this nonsense.
In his eyes, these might as well be children fighting with each other, and it was irritating that the treasure he needed depended on this childish fight.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. If he actually intervened, then…
"Just finish the fight already, damn it!" He howled.
Back on the battlefield, all of a sudden, the blood barrier began to shake and tremble.
From Liam's experience so far, he knew that the barrier would at least last for another few seconds, but now it felt like the barrier was fading away.
Hmmm? Liam's instincts told him to be cautious, so he immediately retreated back several paces. Moreover, it looked like only his opponent's blood barrier was fading, and Luna's target's barrier was still whole and intact.
There was only one explanation for this. Was this guy finally ready to unleash his special skill?
Every single vampire lord had some kind of unique, powerful skill. The moment the barrier went down, Liam knew that the person was gearing up for exactly this.
Also… 35 more minutes…
There were still 35 more minutes left for his [Soul Splice] cool down.
This was his ultimate close combat skill, and without the ability to activate this just yet, he decided to first go with long-range attack skills, at least until he knew what the vampire's ability was.
But that did not mean that he was going to hold back. This fight needed to be over ASAP!
The first vampire lord's skill somehow backfired on them, but there was no guarantee of what the second one's skill could do. It could be a strong one.
As soon as the blood barrier started to loosen up, Liam immediately switched to mage mode and started attacking the weakening barrier with thick raging spheres of fire.
Taking the hint, Luna as well did the same as the two of them focussed their attack on the single vampire lord, ignoring the other one who was still turtling under the blood sphere.
This strategy worked really well. The blood barrier sizzled and crackled under their combined fire, unable to hold out.
Especially because Luna was using the effect of the flame fragment, her fire attacks were always more intense than Liam's.
Parts of the barrier even started visibly cracking and falling down like broken eggshells.
Liam grinned at this sight, and Luna as well growled in excitement. The next instant, the remainder of the blood barrier also started cracking and falling apart, leaving the vampire lord inside weak and defenseless.
It was time to kill him!
But before they could actually do this and end the first vampire once and for all, suddenly, something else happened.
The same time the entire blood barrier went down, and Liam and Luna prepared to cast their next attack, the vampire lord grunted loudly. "BLOOD DOMINATION!"
Immediately, a wave of searing mental pain assaulted the two of them. There were no visible fireworks. There wasn't a red aura. There wasn't anything. It did not even look like any attack had been cast, and yet…
Both the fox and the human were in tremendous pain. The pain was so unbearable that their entire being was arrested in place.
Liam did not have to wonder what this was.
Mental Attack!
The vampire actually cast a mental attack!
Liam stopped in his tracks, unable to move a muscle. He couldn't even stand and was brought down to his knees. He would have collapsed if not for the fact that he leaned on the black dragon sword for support.
Next to him, Luna was not doing any better. The fox curled up and started twitching in pain and wailing in agony.
As a celestial-grade beast, she naturally had a strong constitution, but she was rather young. She clearly did not have enough resistance for this sort of mental attack.
Liam had never seen the proud fox like this before. She was in agony. His heart ached. He gritted his teeth and tried to move, but he was fully suppressed.
Both of them were completely incapacitated in an instant. This was the power of a mental attack.
