Ali stood there and looked at the viscount whose body was leaking blood now from his back and thigh. He looked more human now without his armour and yellow aura covering his body.
Except for the massive spear he held in his right hand and pointed at Ali. The spear was a massive storm of aura in Ali's eyes. He could see the spiral of thick yellow aura travelling up and down the spear.
But Ali could see other things in that moment. He looked up at the darkness in the sky. He could see small shiny stars of yellow that weren't there, not yet…
'My Force Sense is just too much of an advantage…', Ali smirked, looking at the exact spots where the attacks on him would come from.
"Father, lend me your strength one last time…", the viscount said to himself, raising his spear up to his face and whispering the words to it. 'My father passed it down to me, and it has saved my life more times than I can count. This will be the greatest fight of my life, and one I must survive or everything my lineage worked for will be gone.', the viscount thought as he pulled the spear back behind him.
He set his feet down into the ground and stretched his right arm back as far as it could go. All his muscles in his right arm tore. His bicep could be seen tearing off the bone from the outside. It was gruesome but also a testament to the power behind the spear that even an aura-enhanced body like his can barely withstand.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
The viscount threw the spear with all his might at Ali, who was standing a hundred metres away. The moment the spear left his hand, the aura was so heavy that the ground two metres beneath it was crushed, and a trench was dug out.
Above it and around it, the air bent in a cone shape as the sound barrier was broken….
And Ali saw all this as time slowed down before his eyes. His Dragon eyes paired with his Force Sense allowed him to see everything, including the surge from the aura around the spear, a surge upwards!!
The Spear's aura flew out of it and up into the air with the speed of light, the aura secreted into dozens of small shiny stars in the darkness, shiny starkness that transformed into spears of their own, these ones more ethereal as they were made of pure level five aura and the Viscount's own life force. He had unknowingly sacrificed years of his life in this attack.
Seraphina, with her red jewel eyes, was flying over the Fang Cage with ten Blood Spheres flying behind her. Her heart was beating faster as she felt the danger around Ali. The Blood Ring Holder was in danger, and so was she now…
But she stopped. She fought against her instinct. She used her renewed connection to her elder bloodline to fight back, all so she could watch from afar and hope…
'Die…Please just die…', she thought, and her heart hurt like never before at that thought, the blood contract squeezing her heart tight.
Ali, with all the spears flying at him, side-glanced at where Seraphina was in the darkness, his Force Sense easily covering the whole valley.
All of that happened in split seconds as the spears were now upon Ali. Another second, and they'd hit.

Ali saw the message and simply did one thing in the face of death.
'It wasn't even a warm-up, or maybe I have been spoiled lately', Ali thought of this fight.
He hopped back!!
STRIKE BANG BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.....
The Viscount couldn't stand on his dead leg anymore and fell to his knees, but his eyes never left the brightest light he'd ever witnessed. It shone so brightly in the darkness, a massive column of yellow burst where Ali was, with explosions more than twenty metres high decimating the land before finally the last spear fell and the darkness returned.
The Viscount looked at the darkness filling in where his aura shone, consuming the light once again…
"Forgive me, father", the Viscount said, looking up at the darkness but imagining rays of warm sunlight on his skin.
If one slowly looked above the Viscount, a massive man was standing just behind him. The man's muscular chest barely moved to breathe as he looked down at the kneeling man before him with his black eyes.
'He changed, he has more Origin than before, much more…', Ali thought as he felt his wrist burning more than before when he was close to the Viscount. This meant he had gained Origin just now.
'And that's why Paradise sent me the mission to make sure you're dead, never missing a chance to harvest Origin, huh…', Ali thought.
"Any last wishes?", Ali asked. 'I'll hear him out just for getting me these rewards', Ali thought.
"The Smithies in IronPeak, their named Motter. Keep the name, I beg you…", Albert said in a weak voice.
"Not spare your family?", Ali asked.
"I have no family, there are no Motters left now." The Viscount's tone wasn't one of sorrow or pain but one of calm.
Ali didn't say another word and raised the runic axe with the Force, it was directly above the viscount's head now.
"Iron in my Blood—"
SPLAT
Ali looked down at the hole in the ground with gore and blood was everywhere, the axe had dug a hole with the viscount's corpse exploded to pieces from the weight of the axe.

Ali looked at his interface and heard winds pushing to him like a large bird flying near.
He looked up to see Seraphina landing near him with two massive Crystal red wings behind her but the wings weren't attached to her, they were floating behind her back.
Ali looked up above her to see the Blood Spheres floating in the air, the condensed blood magic in each one ominous.
Ali didn't say anything and simply looked into her jewel red eyes, they stared into each other's eyes for a full minute before Seraphina broke the eye contact and lowered her gaze.
"Your much stronger now than when i found you", Ali said in his cold voice walking up to her.
"I was thirsty then", Seraphina said.
"And now your not?", Ali asked looking down at her from up close, his bare neck drawing onto every instinct of hers, she would do anything to bite his neck right now, her red eyes staring at his neck and the strong blood flow under his skin.
"Not even close, i am far from the power i once had but it's only a matter of time now", Seraphina answered, she reached up with her hand and put her pale hand that was very cold on Ali's chest, where his heart was.
She felt his strong heart beat and took a deep breath that was full of depravity and huger, 'So strong and just so…fragrant', she thought with her strong nose drowning her sense of smell in Ali's scent.
"Even after you killed fifteen thousand humans", Ali said and Seraphina froze hearing the words, she was taken out of her trance and immediately took her hand back realising what she had just done.
'Wait he knows!! HOW? Does he know…', Seraphina thought to herself but kept a calm and confident expression.
"They were far from your lands", she said.
"I know, you wiped out two barons and everybody in their lands with them. The church sent witch hunters and Demon Hunters there to investigate", Ali said.
"They will find nothing, i am not an amateur, if i don't wish to be found then there is nothing to trace me back", she said confident.
"That applies to your ghouls?", Ali asked and Seraphina's mask broke, 'He even knows…', she thought.
"Forty ghouls Seraphina, you really work fast don't you…Very desperate to rebuild your house or desperate for something else", Ali said, his voice sounded terrifying to Seraphina right now.
She looked up into his eyes and felt real primal fear, 'I only felt this from my mother and the elder before…', she thought remembering the last times she'd experienced such fear, 'Am i afraid of the blood contract?', she thought looking Ali in the eyes.
'No it's him…My blood runs colder because of him..', she thought.
"So Seraphina answer me this, all that blood you harvested, why are you making a blood pool with it?", Ali asked and he held her chin raising it so she looked into his eyes, Ali's eyes slowly transformed before her eyes into his violet draconic eyes.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Behind him from deep in the darkness Shadow slowly revealed himself behind Ali and his violet eyes stared with insatiable hunger at Seraphina.
"Ali…", she said his name as he brushed his finger across her cheek. Ali could see the colours of fear and anxiousness around her with Bahamut's eyes.
"Is my pretty Vampire trying to condense the blood pool into blood essence to replace her essence and escape the contract between us", Ali said and Seraphina eyes widened.
The spheres glowed above her and her red eyes glowed really bright in half a second…
UGH HAAAH HAAAAH STOP STOP PLEASE AHHHHHHHHHH
Seraphina fell to the ground clutching at her throat and face, she felt horrible pain like she'd never experienced her whole life, to the point her human disguise started falling apart and her body started transforming back to her bat form.
