"How? How is it possible!? I could have wiped out a building! You're a vampire too, aren't you!? Who's your Sire!?" Mark roared his question, angry after realizing that Uriel had kept his strength a secret for so long.

Uriel, though, wasn't in the mood for talking anymore. Mark had always pushed him over as he wanted, humiliated him and attacked him without reason. Only because he was poor, only because he was weak, but those days were over.

His eyes began glimmering as he activated his Dash skill and he bolted forward amidst blue sparks of flux energy, punching Mark in the face before he could even channel enough flux to create another fireball.

Mark would have been sent flying at a distance if not for Uriel quickly catching up to him and hitting him again to the opposite side, taking turns between kicking and punching, treating Mark like a ball on a tennis court thanks to his enhanced speed.

Now that he was a vampire, Mark couldn't die even after the brutal maul he was receiving, but that didn't make it any less painful. The amount of pain Uriel inflicted on him was enough to make him wish he could die, but Uriel showed no sign of relenting.

"Please..." Mark cried. But even if Uriel trusted him to surrender for real this time, which he didn't, he had made his mind up already. Mark had to pay for everything he had done to him.

"How does it feel? How does it feel to have your ass handed to you from someone you thought as no better than trash?" Uriel looked down at the terrified Mark with icy cold eyes, causing Mark to almost lose control of his bladder.

"I never... we're friends! I was only looking out for you! I- I made you stronger!" Mark spat the first excuse he thought Uriel would believe, but he showed no interest in his response.

He took his pocket knife from is trait, without knowing if it was possible to kill Mark with it, but he was very eager to put it to the test even if it took a long time but then from the corner of his eye he noticed that Luna was in trouble.

Had he summoned the Jaguar spirit before the fight he would have been able to do something, but it was too late for that now and they were too far for him to reach them even with the help of Dash. The only thing that came to mind was to make Mark scream for help and with the help of his knife it wasn't long until Mark was crying and begging for forgiveness.

"No!!! Someone save me!" Mark shouted, making Cassandra turn her head towards Uriel immediately, her vertical pupils adjusting to its new prey.

She ran all the way towards Uriel with a roar, but now that she was on her way Mark recovered his will to fight and he took advantage of the instant Uriel turned to look at the incoming huntress to hurl another fireball at him.

This time, Uriel dodged it with ease, just as he dodged the ones that followed. But every fireball managed to throw allowed him to take some distance until Uriel was engaged in close combat with Cassandra while under the fireballs raining down on them both.

Mark didn't care if Cassandra got hurt, in fact, he purposely aimed some of his attacks towards her just because he enjoyed her pained screams but that also served to enrage her even further and her attacks became more vicious.

Uriel was forced to activate Dash once more, even though he knew he was already running low on flux energy, because the minute he fell they would either kill Luna or capture her and he couldn't let that happen to his friend.

Mark flinched at the sight of the blue sparks and doubled his efforts to kill Uriel, but not matter how many attacks he landed Uriel refused to fall.

The searing heat coming from Mark's skill caused Uriel's skin to peel off and it was difficult to even breathe, as if that wasn't enough every time he blocked Cassandra's hits with his arms his bones would break like twigs and his passive regeneration could barely heal them before he needed to block again.

His muscles were already aching from overusing Dash and his body was cramping for the excessive Flux expense, but Uriel didn't lower his guard for an instant. Every hit Cassandra threw at him, he either dodged by crouching or blocked with his arms, but his time was running out.

Even if he still had some remaining flux energy, the pain he was enduring after channeling it into Dash for so long was becoming unbearable.

'Flux, flux, flux! Why do I have to spend flux for everything!? is there nothing I can do without flux?' He silently complained. If only he had 'Thunderbolt Iron' with him things would have been way easier, but there was no point in wishful thinking, he needed to find a solution.

'What if...' Uriel managed to get some distance as he focused on his museum, where he did something he'd been both excited and afraid to do before.

[System notice] Pre-diluvian exhibit unlocked.

The system message said after Uriel spent a huge chunk of his credits, nevertheless he lacked the time to properly focus on his trait to actually check if there was anything he could use in there. But there was no need for him to do so, as a whispering voice was soon heard in his head.

'Use it, use the book, Use the book of the dead'

Without hesitation, Uriel tried to remember the feeling he experienced when he touched the book he found under Dearest One's statue and the ancient looking leather cover book appeared on his hand.

A sudden rush of flux energy traversed his body with a refreshing feeling that washed away all his pain, but from the outside an ominous black aura erupted from within his body giving him an appearance similar to that of a person possessed by an eclipse. His eyes became jet black and he spoke the first words that came to mind.

"Come forth, souls of the dead."
