Chapter 284: Killing Lamorto (II)
The battle between Vlad and Lamorto became nothing short of a storm of blood, claws, and flames. Each clash of their weapons sent shockwaves that reverberated across the mountaintop, the air thick with the crackling of red lightning and demonic energy.
Lamorto lunged forward, his bone-covered claws slicing through the air with deadly intent. Vlad, quick on his feet, barely dodged as the Abyssal demon’s claws grazed past his face, missing by mere inches.
Without missing a beat, Vlad retaliated with a swift slash of his flaming bastard sword. Lamorto moved just in time, the blade cutting through the air inches from his chest. The demon’s instincts were razor-sharp, and he countered with a heavy swipe of his claws, aiming to tear through Vlad’s armor.
Vlad blocked the blow with his sword, the impact sending sparks flying between them. He pushed back, using his agility to leap away, gaining distance. The Depravita and Abyssal circled each other, breathing heavily, their eyes locked, searching for an opening.
"DIE!" Lamorto roared, his massive body lunging forward once again. His claws came down like hammers, aiming to crush Vlad beneath their weight.
The Depravita of Wrath ducked low, his red lightning-infused body moving with impossible speed, dodging the brutal attack by a hair’s breadth. The claws slammed into the ground, cracking the stone beneath them, but Vlad was already in motion, swinging his sword in a sharp arc aimed at Lamorto’s neck.
Lamorto jerked back just in time, the blade slicing across his shoulder instead of his neck, leaving a deep, smoldering wound. The demon hissed in pain but refused to relent, launching himself at Vlad with renewed fury. His claws came down again, this time in a flurry of slashes, each strike faster and more ferocious than the last.
Vlad deflected the blows with his sword, the force of each strike pushing him back. He could feel the power behind Lamorto’s attacks, which was overwhelming. Every clash sent vibrations through his arms, his muscles screaming under the strain. Yet, Vlad did not falter and countered with everything he had.
Vlad’s speed and precision allowed him to slip through Lamorto’s defenses, landing several strikes on the demon’s body. Still, Lamorto’s sheer strength and resilience kept him in the fight, his claws tearing through the air with devastating force. Blood was drawn on both sides, but neither would yield.
