Chapter 139: I Suppose You Can Stop Me For Around Three Seconds...

-----

Explosions of ice and thunder resonated through the large hall, as Sapphire and Timassa confronted each other in the most anticlimactic one-sided fight.

Sapphire clenched his teeth as he immediately realized that he was fucked.

Timassa's speed was immense, her attacks were precise and sharp, her thunder was also able to deal damage directly into his flesh and could even ignore defense.

It was also highly explosive and deal large amounts of damage against his blue jewel barriers or shields.

Alongside this, Timassa's aura seemed to be overwhelmingly strong and terrifying, her level of power was already beyond C-Rank… beyond what Sapphire was capable of.

However, he did not want to die, not at all!

Sapphire's fear and despair were quickly taken over by his wrath, each time he remembered his little brother, Emerald, and that these filthy beings killed him, his mind and judgment were clouded by blind rage.

He evaded as much as he could, but Timassa's attacks were already burning into his body through the power of electricity, and his barriers could barely withstand one attack before being shattered into tiny pieces.

Timassa continued to advance towards him, using more and more thunder, firing arrows after arrows, while making sure to be cautious.

Even against a C-Rank, she acted cautious, testing her strength, and seeing if Sapphire didn't have any ace below his sleeve.

And as she thought, he had.

"NNNGGGRRAAH! Ice Jewel Giant!"

BOOM!

Unlike his siblings, Sapphire had developed and created a new type of Skill by covering himself with his own jewels and ice!

Timassa's thunder fell over him as he was about to transform, however, exploding into countless explosions of thunder and ice!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, it seemed that the activation of the Skill gave him regeneration capabilities, even when… his body exploded into pieces!

"Oh? I knew it…" said Timassa. Due to her supernatural senses and perception, she knew that there was something fishy about this guy.

"GRAAAAAAAAAH! GAAAAAHHH!"

Sapphire, however, had paid the price of going completely berserk.

The Ice Jewel Giant Skill gave him the power to transform into a giant made of ice jewels, with outstanding regeneration abilities, however, his mind would go berserk after this, and whenever his mana was to be drained fully, he would revert back to his human form and fall unconscious.

But he had no choice! He was getting killed, after all, he had to go all out and fight for his life!

Sapphire's giant form rushed towards Timassa with outstanding speed and strength, reaching her in an instant and then unleashing giant boulders of ice shaped as blades towards her!

Timassa glanced at this expressionlessly, as she covered herself in thunder and flew over the air evading the attacks with utmost ease.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The large boulders of ice exploded one by one, as the entire ice began to cover the hall, making everything icy and cold… but such temperatures were not of any issue for Vampires, who were usually very cold unless they control their own blood and made it flow faster around their bodies.

Timassa who was a Ghoul was even colder, and such a thing did not even bother her.

FLASH!

Like a flash of thunder, she rushed directly towards Sapphire, as she generated large arrows of black thunder, firing them towards Sapphire by the dozens!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GRUUUUOOOOOHH…!"

Sapphire began to explode into pieces, his arms fell off, his legs, his head, and even his torso exploded into shattered pieces of blue jewels!

However, Timassa knew it was not over yet…

"Outstanding regeneration speed…" she said, as she saw Sapphire suddenly begin to grow back into an ice jewel giant!

"GRAAAHHH…. GRAAAAAAARRR!"

Sapphire suddenly unleashed an aura of cold, freezing winds, unleashing a storm of ice towards Timassa!

FLASH!

Timassa's body was covered in ice, as her entire body began to freeze!

"Ngh…"

Her skin began to turn completely icy and hard, her muscles froze and became cold, her blood became crimson ice, her bones as well, and even her hair, clothes, and everything…

She became an ice statue…

Timassa died!

Or so thought Sapphire.

"GRAAHAHA!"

Sapphire celebrated his victory as he slowly walked towards Timassa, extending its icy claws towards her, desiring to crush her into pieces!

However!

FLASH!

Timassa's eyes flashed with black electricity, as the entire ice around her began to shatter!

The thunder generated enough heat and the internal ice within her body quickly melted in a matter of milliseconds!

CRASH!

The entire ice within her body melted and shattered, as Timassa glanced at Sapphire with a bored expression.

"I suppose you can… stop me for around three seconds," she sighed, as she suddenly generated a giant spear of thunder and blasted it into Sapphire's face!

"NNGRAH…!"

BOOM!

His chest exploded into pieces as he was thrown into the ground!

Timassa darted into the air as she directed another giant arrow!

BOOM!"

"GRUUUOOOHHH…!"

Sapphire's body began to explode into pieces once more, as he tried to regenerate!

However!

"Three, four, five, six, seven…"

Timassa began to count how many giant thunder arrows it took to kill this bastard, showering him with attacks and quickly overpowering his regeneration speed!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"NNNGRRRYAAAAAA…!"

This body began to blast into pieces over and over again, as his mana quickly ran low the more times he used his regeneration capabilities!

BOOOOOM!

"NNNNGRRUUUOOOHH…!"

CRASH!

Sapphire's entire body shattered into pieces at last, as Timassa smiled triumphantly!

Flash!

Suddenly, to her surprise, the ice scattered all around turned into flesh, shattered bones, crushed guts, and blood…

"Oh? So that is how it works… I hope Noah-sama can still make it… Blood Servants out of this pile… I shouldn't have been taken too long," sighed Timassa, thinking about the future Sapphire Blood Servant that could come out of this…

Meanwhile, after the death of another sibling, Agate and Amber despaired.

Their emotions were constantly fluctuating with agonizing emotional pain (and also physical pain), the loss of more of their beloved siblings was making them go completely insane.

All of this because they did not research enough… or not?

Even if they had researched, this was bound to happen, Noah had hidden his abilities enough, and although this might have changed if they had waited a few more days to strike by knowing that he and his subordinates were all B-Rank through the official announcement, they were desperate to avenge their brother, and hurriedly ran right into the abyssal maws of the Noctem Family.

Agate gritted her teeth, as her eyes felt to slowly lose their iridescent rainbow light, two of her siblings were massacred by the malicious beasts that were the members of the Noctem Family, monstrous crawlers of the night with immense strength and malevolent natures, they did not even kill their siblings cleanly, but crushed them into pieces and made sure to make them suffer to the extent of breaking their minds and spirits...

However, she had no time to fight Iris or Timassa, as another person was confronting her… a young man with blonde hair, crimson eyes, and pale white skin. His body was slender yet not so tall, but he held a serious expression, the malevolent nature within him seemed lesser than those of the rest of the members of the Noctem Family, but that did not mean that he was less loyal to his progenitor and greatest benefactor.

"You are… Arthur…! You damn… monster… you are like them too, aren't you?! All of you are horrible subhumans at the end! I KNEW IT! ALL OF YOU ARE BEASTS! Ruby… Sapphire…! I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" roared Agate, going completely mad, blinded by rage as she summoned several floating spheres of colorful jewels, charging mana into the and firing lasers of iridescent light that could easily burn through flesh!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Arthur kept his serious expression as he evaded around while blocking some of the powerful attacks with his Black Light Barrier!

Clash! Clash! Clash!

"You were the ones that decided to come and kill us! You are merely paying for what you came for! Similarly, Emerald also tried to kill us. What is wrong with trying to defend ourselves and protect our lives? Are we at fault for trying to survive? Your brother was a hypocrite!" said Arthur.

"SHUT UP! WHAT CAN A MONSTER LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND?!" roared Agate, suddenly concentrating large quantities of mana and jewels into a giant orb, and firing an enormous laser of holy light towards Arthur!

BOOOM!
