Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

The vampire scanned his eyes at the weak people that stood before him. His mouth curved into a grin. His innocent smile looked bloody from the battlefield with hands dripping with blood. His fangs, still red. The excitement never left his piercing eyes. He mercilessly loved to devour the strong. The strongest were standing in front of him.

He looked at them one by one. A total of 6 to be feasted upon.

He then looked over in the forest abyss with a scorn smile on his face, “Those two… hmmm... This is getting me so excited. One with a darkness element.” He licked his lips at the thought of it. “It will be a great boost to my growth.”

His mocking eyes then turned back to the weaklings before him “Here... they... come...”

He smirked as a blonde human shot a ball of fire towards him. It came fast and scorching.

In a matter of seconds, he was engulfed in flames.

As the child-like beast burned, the humans never left their gaze at it. They watched until the flames died out into smoke. Their pupils dilated after what came next. A grin and red-demonic eyes greeted them.

Olivier made sure that the fire had extra damage on it. It was then proven otherwise when the enemy still stood unburnt by his attack. But he was mistaken. The child-like vampire stood unaffected by the scorching ball of flames.

It was then the beast crossed his two arms in front of him. A pair of large dark ghost hands appeared, like a phantom shadow taking shape. Before he could manifest completely, a scorching ball of flames came his way.

BOOM!

He wasn’t able to dodge. He was thrown to the side with burns on his face and blood in his mouth. He crouched on the ground with great surprise. He looked at the blonde standing in the distance. He looked in bewilderment, how did the attack pass through his phantom hands?

“Do you think we will attack in order, beast?” A blonde woman spoke. She had a condescending look in her eyes. “What you see may not be true at all when I am around.”

A boiling sensation grew within him as he looked at the woman. The wanting of shredding her to pieces and drinking every drop of her blood came to his mind.

“Puny tricks!” He shrugged it off as he wiped the blood from the side of his mouth. It seemed that his prey weren’t going to give him time to rise on his feet, he thought. He smiled with a twisted look on his face.

It was then, a woman in a mask attacked him with a lightning sword.

‘Gah! Another element countering me!’

The vampire-child dodged the attack. His talons scraped the woman’s mask. He expected a scratch. To his surprise, there wasn’t even a dent on it. He backed away immediately.

His claws were able to cut a tree in two with one slash, but the mask wasn't even damaged from his full swing

“What! Who are these humans? The information I gained didn’t have anything about this woman!’

He then looked above. Water dragons dove towards him from the sky with swords swimming amidst the speeding water pillars.. .

“Holy Light!?’’

A water element user attacked him but it wasn’t enough to injure him on its own. But the swords formed from holy light hidden in the water pillars would cause him damage.

The vampire wasn't expecting a user that can use holy light from the lot. If it landed on him, he would be grievously injured.

He took a step back, evading the counter-attack that could weaken him. The water dragon pillars hit the ground, making earth and dirt fly in all directions. The impact was almost great.

With the appearance of an unexpected holy light user, the child-like vampire had gotten intimidated for a brief moment. The combination attack with the water element user caught him off guard as he barely noticed it. But the sense of dreadfulness saved him from the hidden blades. The eerie smile disappeared from his face. He wasn’t expecting humans to be this strong.

He read the minds of his victims forcefully, but unlike what humans knew, pulling out memories was harder than learning a language. He only learned bits and pieces. Nonetheless, the terror-stricken on their faces delighted him in truth. It increased his bloodlust to devour them even more.

The battle continued vehemently.

The vampire dodged the attacks with his beastly speed, with the advantage in a dark environment boosting his abilities. Yet, his opponents attacked altogether without a seam.

The ground he was standing on got soft when he was about to jump. He lost his footing and faltered, falling to the ground. The earth elemental user tried to trap him into the soft ground.

More water dragon pillars with many light swords within were coming towards from above. Scorching balls of flames rained down like a shower of meteors. He knew some of the attacks were fake created by the blonde female human, but he couldn’t distinguish the illusion from the real ones. The masked woman readied her lightning sword onto him. He was trapped and had nowhere to run. The ground turned into a swamp, trapping his legs and pulling him down slowly.

“Argh!” The monster cried in anger. He then beckoned the darkness to envelop him.

The water pillars hit his cloak of darkness, but not even holy light was able to pierce it through. Fireballs also vanished one after another, and only the real one exploded on the black membrane. The attack had no effect at all.

When the masked woman swung her sword as hard as she could, the black mist grabbed onto her slim body and stopped her on her track. She struggled to free herself but to no avail.

“He is evolving! Use all of your powers!” The woman cried in pain.

The others did abide and used their strongest attacks.

Porseila fished out an orb that turned into a slim sword. It was so thin that it looked like a giant needle. It was a pinnacle-tier sword looted from Piercing Bulls. It had no element but extra sharp-pointedness. It could pierce through any armor with the same tier. It was a gift from her grandfather.

Olivier took out two orbs he had in his pocket. One was brown. When electricity washed it over, it melted and changed into a crossbow. The other was purple. It melted and formed a bolt. Poison was dripping from its tip. He nocked it onto the crossbow, sending a giant fireball that followed the bolt, speeding at the enemy.

Tian Ling shouted, and his muscles swelled to the limit. Water pillars gushed out from his palms and formed three dragons, taller than 20 meters. The dragons roared to the sky before attacking the target.

Mihr Orril looked at the sky and folded his hands as if he was praying. Light swords appeared in the sky. All ten of them, attacking the vampire.

Attack after attack fell onto the gathered black mist, only to be absorbed as they vanished within. Even the ten light swords only caused the cloak of darkness to crack a little.

The most damage was caused by Porseila’s sword that had managed to pierce through. When it passed through to the other side, it was washed with blood, hurting the enemy. The vampire screamed in pain as he lost control of his cloak of darkness. His black mist let go of the mask woman. It then retracted back to its master.

“You! All! Will! Pay!” An eerie voice came from the darkness, making everyone's back go cold.

The cloak of darkness then scattered in every direction. A monster appeared, flapping its fleshy wings to float in the air before their eyes. Its right arm was bleeding. A hole on its shoulder could be seen. It looked down on them with its red eyes looking like the depths of hell.

The winged vampire then grimaced in pain. “You will all pay with every blood I take! Your lives are mine!” A ball of darkness formed on his hand. It was darker than the night itself, drowning the surrounding light. It rotated with an ever-increasing speed, growing bigger and bigger by the second.

Porseila and others had no power to attack in a short time. In the last attack, they did their best, but it wasn’t even enough to injure the beast. All of them panting and drained of their energy with the enemy floating before them. The exhaustion rooted their feet to the ground.

“Prince pervert, if you are there, it is a good time to save us!” Olivier said, but no answer came.
