Chapter 780: I Am Your Worst Nightmare
A fierce battle unfolded across the skies of the Magdar Kingdom.
Those who were on the ground could only see flashes of light in the distance, followed by rumbling explosions similar to the roar of thunder.
If earlier, Godfrey was still taking things easy, now, he could no longer afford to hold back against the two girls who were dead set on eliminating him.
Godfrey knew that if he wasn't a Demigod, he would have died three times over because of Hecate's and Joanne's deadly combination.
The girl covered in flames was extremely strong and fast. She hit a lot harder than he expected as well.
However, the blue-haired succubus was nothing to scoff at either.
Using the power of Darkness, Joanne made sure that the Vampire Lord couldn't escape Hecate's direct blows, causing him immense pain.
But the more he was getting beaten up, the more Godfrey's interest in the two girls grew.
Although his body was hurting, his extremely fast regeneration ability allowed him to recover from the injuries that were caused by the blows raining down on him.
Also, he could feel it.
Hecate wouldn't be able to keep her current form, so he chose to use a defensive strategy, focusing on protecting his vital parts.
It was a battle of attrition, and Godfrey was confident that he would be the one coming out on top.
As the battle reached a critical stage, Godfrey saw an opportunity and unleashed a counterattack, catching Hecate by surprise.
Because of this, he managed to land a blow on the side of her body, sending her spiraling to the ground.
Joanne raised her hand and created a dome of darkness that mitigated Hecate's fall, preventing her from suffering serious injuries as she crashed into the ground.
Since the main attacker of their duo was out of commission, Joanne resorted to long-range attacks in order to keep the Vampire Lord at bay.
However, since the damage that she could dish out wasn't as overwhelming as Hecate's, the Vampire Lord decided to tank it and flew straight in her direction without bothering to dodge.
Godfrey was faster than Joanne, so it only took a few seconds before he closed the gap between them and dealt her a blow.
Joanne was prepared and created a shield of darkness, but Godfrey's punch shattered her barrier.
Although the attack was mitigated, the blow still landed on her abdomen, which made her cry out in pain as she was sent flying backward.
However, before he could push his advantage, Hecate blocked his path and counterattacked, forcing him to back away.
The standoff lasted for a minute before Joanne returned to Hecate's side with blood streaming from the corner of her lips.
"Let's end this," Joanne said knowing that both of them wouldn't be able to put up any more resistance once Hecate lost her burst of strength.
"Okay." Hecate nodded.
Channeling all of her strength in her right fist, the young lady planned to go for an all-out attack.
Joanne pressed her palms on Hecate's back, passing her power to her to ensure that her attack would be able to finish off their opponent.
Seeing what the two girls were doing, Godfrey decided to also create his strongest barrier.
He could tell that his opponents were already on their last legs, so if he survived their attack, he would finally win this battle.
Time seemed to stand completely still for a few seconds before Hecate lunged towards Godfrey like a golden comet in the sky.
The Vampire Lord roared as he met the young lady's attack with his barrier.
A brilliant light flashed across the sky, dispelling the darkness of the night for a brief moment before a numbing silence spread in the surroundings.
Joanne was holding a weakened Hecate in her arms, but there was no time for her to check on her condition.
Hecate was also not paying close attention to her body because her gaze was focused on the smoking crater on the ground.
When a gust of wind blew the dust cloud away, they saw Godfrey on the ground with the right side of his body blown apart.
However, instead of feeling relieved, the expressions of both girls became grim because they could see that the Vampire Lord's body was slowly regenerating.
Godfrey's pained expression was proof that he suffered an extremely serious injury, but it was not enough to kill him.
Joanne slowly descended on the ground, as she supported her friend's body.
Just like Hecate, she no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
Several minutes passed, but the two of them were already too exhausted to do anything.
Finally, twenty minutes later, they heard the sound of footsteps headed in their direction. Godfrey walked towards them with a victorious smile on his face.
He no longer looked as dashing as he had been earlier, but he didn't care.
The only important thing was that he won, and now, these two ladies no longer had the strength to resist him.
He would first feast on their blood, sapping away the remainder of their strength.
After that, he would finally claim his prize and make them understand the pleasure of becoming his woman.
"Although you've hurt me, I will not do the same to the two of you," Godfrey said, drunk on the feeling of his victory. "Aren't I a gentleman?"
Hecate and Joanne didn't bother to reply and tried to stand up.
Even if they died, they would not allow the Vampire Lord to do as he pleased with their
bodies.
Seeing their futile struggle, a hearty chuckle escaped Godfrey's lips.
He then reached out to grab Hecate's arm so that he could lift her up and feast on her blood.
But just as he was about to claim his prize, a hand grabbed his wrist, preventing him from touching the Saintess.
Joanne's and Hecate's eyes widened in shock when Ethan suddenly stepped out of the darkness and grabbed Godfrey's hand.
The reason why they looked surprised was not because the Ethan standing before them and the Ethan that they had spent a few days with were not the same person.
A sob escaped Joanne's lips because she now knew that everything was going to be fine.
"Both of you did well," Ethan said as his grip on Godfrey's wrist strengthened, making the sound of bones cracking reach their ears. "I'll take over from here."
Ethan had arrived just as the battle started.
However, the world of the painting prevented him from interferng because two Ethan's
couldn't exist at the same time inside the world.
But Ethan wasn't someone who would just stand by and watch as his sister and friend fought against the same Vampire Lord, whom he wanted to find in Midgard.
Because of this, he used whatever strength he could to annihilate the Ethan of the world of the painting as fast as possible.
Fortunately, he was able to do it before Godfrey could further hurt the two girls, whom he had
come to save in the Painting of Enlightenment.
"Who are you?" Godfrey asked because the Tidebringer in front of him was very different
from the Tidebringer he fought earlier.
"I am your worst nightmare," Ethan replied as he punched Godfrey's face, sending blood and
teeth flying out of his devilishly handsome face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hecate smiled faintly before her strength finally left her.
She fainted in Joanne's arms, but she fainted knowing that everything would be alright.
After all, the young man whom she had traveled far to see had finally come to save her once
more.
