Chapter 253: 250. Dominating the lobby
The tall man with dreads, who was a knight for the Snow Clan, pulled out his claws as he gazed at the two knights of the Sagittarius Coven.
"You don't want to fight us, Brett," a girl said as she walked forward.
She was one of Dominic's knights, and she seemed to be oozing with a dangerous aura.
She had long brown hair, and her green eyes looked like marbles. She seemed to have a traditional Asian look. The guy beside her walked forward too, extending his claws.
His eyes glowed bright red, and shudders escaped his mouth.
"Jay and Alisha. Last time you beat us, but now, we're not going to let you," a blonde guy from the other side said before he ran towards them with his claws stretched out.
All of a sudden, his eyes widened as he noticed a shift in the air. He suddenly looked down to see that his waist had been severed, and he fell forward, shouting.
"What the hell was that?!" the guy shouted. The other knights were shocked and looked back to see Collins standing there with a long sword.
The fragment of the key fell down, and he picked it up. All the vampires there rushed towards him, and the pressure in the air increased more than twenty times, forcing them all to normal human speed.
Alisha, the knight from the Sagittarius Coven, reached his back in a mere second, striking at his neck.
He turned around, his bright golden eyes glowing brightly, and they suddenly widened as the pupils became slits.
The girl fell to the floor immediately, and then a blur of light flashed, slicing off her arms.
The ground began to freeze as the temperature decreased rapidly. The two counts looked back to see Collins and Jude, and they frowned at him.
Dexter walked forward, and then the shadow behind him began to morph into a sinister-looking horse made of shadows.
Grim suddenly turned into shadow armor, surrounding Dexter as he walked towards the two counts, with Lily and Kila walking alongside him.
"We're taking the fragment. I really don't want to kill anyone today, so just... obey," Dexter's voice was cold as he said those words. Dominic frowned, while Rose only chuckled in amusement.
She suddenly moved towards him, and he could see her movements very clearly this time. The gravity in the place really helped, and Dominic immediately targeted Collins as he noticed the source of the gravity.
Collins looked to his side and dismissed his sword, swinging his arm backward.
The wind around him pushed Dominic into the air, and Collins' fist hit him in the stomach, sending him flying to the other side of the room.
Rose glared at Dexter with a hungry expression, licking her lips as she looked at him from head to toe.
"You know what, I think I like you now. We can merge covens. Join my harem. We will be unstoppable together," she said to him with a smile, and Dexter shook his head.
"No."
Dexter wasn't really interested in joining a maniac like her to merge covens.
"Interesting. But it's not an option." She vanished from her spot, and then she was suddenly in front of him, her eyes locking onto his.
"You will obey me."
*GBUM!!*
Her words seemed loud and echoed in his head like thunder. A sweat drop formed on Dexter's forehead as he couldn't move, and then he also didn't want to reply to her.
'Is this... the strength of a vampire count's compulsion? She's able to compel even vampires?' Dexter gritted his teeth, and then he blinked as a veil of darkness blocked his vision.
But in the next moment, he vanished, seeing her claws coming for his face. His body shifted into a ghostly state, phasing through her.
Dexter waved his spear backward, slicing her arm and leaving a deep cut. She looked at him.
"I don't want to go all out on you, so just leave this fragment with me," Dexter said to her, and then she turned to him.

"As much as I like cute guys, I can't really let you leave with the fragment, can I?" She jumped towards him, raising her leg in the air before bringing it down on him.
Dexter jumped backward, and she bared her fangs as she held her leg in pain.
Dominic ran towards Collins and Jude, and both of them readied themselves. He was currently in his true vampire form, far stronger and faster now.
He was able to hold them off despite their speed, and Collins was confused at this. He manipulated the wind to blow in all directions from him, but the count still persevered through and landed a hit on Collins, sending him flying.
Rose activated her true form, and her skin turned blue again. She got into a stance and leapt towards Dexter at an even greater pace. Dexter was shocked as he jumped to the side before firing a beam of flames at her.
'Grim! Help Collins!' Dexter shouted, and Grim hopped out from his body.
He immediately dismissed his cloak, and flames suddenly surrounded his body. Rose was shocked as she saw that Dexter could really control flames, but something was wrong. The flames were not normal.
'Are these the flames that the witches warned us about?' she questioned as she gritted her teeth, feeling the heat emanating from a distance.
Dexter ran towards her and was just a flash to her. She jumped up as she felt the intense scorching heat from her back and looked down to see Dexter.
...
"Kila no! Dexter said we should protect the others," Lily said as Kila ran forward towards the count who was still in the air and then the blood in the surroundings rose, forming solid spikes made out of blood and they all launched towards her.
Rose glanced towards Kila and then black smoke surrounded her as she turned into a blue bat and hid away in a crevice in the wall.
"Tsk, what's with these flames?!" Rose shouted as she felt her skin hurting from just touching it.
Winter who was sitting away at the commotion got scared as she saw Dexter's and she jumped down towards him from the window, bearing the gravity.
