Chapter 39 - Self-handicapping.

Everyone has had that moment in their lives where they held themselves back from reaching their full potential. This also applies to the supernatural,some may have greater potential than other but choose to stifle themselves.

But, its a whole separate topic when your other half is purposely doing it to you. Which is what Lazarus and Dakarai were discussing.

"The fuck you mean you've been holding me back!?" Lazarus exclaimed in anger as he roared in Dakarai's face.

"First of all. You wouldn't even able to control it. You'd pretty much be entering a berserker state which you wouldn't be able to calm yourself."

Dakarai said as he he snapped his fingers, a large stream of the blood water which became a large orb like containers.

"Here's what I can do for you. This is the amount you can use safely but you have a timer of 10 minutes."

Lazarus look at the large orb of blood with a reluctant expression but swallowed his resolve as he entered the orb. As he did, his mind was hit with intense wave of murderous intent.

After he entered Dakarai and Amaris stood there in silence for a few moments before either decided to speak.

"Why did you do that?" He questioned in a low tone. As he turned his head to the side to look at Amaris but, in the next second.

*CLANK*

The sound of steel clashing against steel creating a small shockwave, that caused the water to ripple. As Dakarai and Amaris clashed blades, Amaris's arm transformed into a blade while Dakarai created a sharp katana made from blood to block the attack.

"You really want to do this?" He asked her while sparks flew.

"Sure, why not?" She said as she jumped back and rushed towards Dakarai.

-

In inside the abandoned fact where Lazarus was being held.

Haymen the lich was staring at Lazarus as his study the body." Fascinating! What manner of vampire are you?"

His fascination with their hostage rose the curiosity and caution of his fellow teammates.

"What about the kid interested you?" Felicia the witch said as she approached. Her eyes scanning Lazarus body.

"Hard to say but, I believe this boy has a higher affinity for necromacy." He paused and continued. "Even higher than most high ranking necromancers."

"So what? The kid's had potential but,what's that got to do with anything?" Her question was sent to deaf ears as they as he continued to monitor Lazarus's body.

What Felicia doesn't know is that vampire cannot use magic most of the other Supernatural races but due to this their gain special abilities that are tied to them. Lazarus's hybrid nature make it were his body exuded an aura of death that while vastly weaker that most practitioner of necromacy he'd got more freedom in comparison

"But that"

*RIP*

They all turned their heads to the sound of fabric tearing and saw large portal rift being opened.

"Felicia, what's the hell going on!? The boss shouted as him and Daken rushed towards her.

"Don't look at m-" before she could finish her sentence a flaming spear javelin flew through the air.

*BOOM*

An explosion rang out as it cause the group to scatter.

As they all tried to regain their bearings they heard felt the air become colder as a wave of ice was blasted at them.

-

A few minutes earlier.

"Found him!" Exclaimed Astra turned her head to look back at everyone.

Twins walked over to her.

""Where is he?"" They questioned in unison.

"In some abandoned factor at the edge of the city. I can make ta portal now if you'd like?"

"Yes! Now would be great!" Cassandra exclaimed.

Astra extended her arms infront of her as, she made a grabbing gesture. she than pulled her arms apart, as a tearing sound could be heard as a rift portal was created.

They could see the inside of an abandoned factory with 4 people discussing something they could not hear than.

As Astra turned she could see the Bloodfire twins and they saw something that caused their eyes to be filled with anger as, their powers ignited.

"Cass throw a javelin inside there now!" Lason roared.

Cassandra didn't hesitate as she created a concentrated javelin from her flames and lightning and hurled it through the portal.

Lason immediately followed after the explosion he lunged through the portal his right arm was covered in a concentrated wave of ice that he shot out attempts to freeze the inhabitants.

The rest immediately followed after him and as they did they laid witness to an icey landscape. Thst seemed to freeze everything inside what seemed to be impenetrable ice.

The twins rushed towards Lazarus who was chained to a chair and notcing his numerous injuries. Cassandra pulled out the blades from Lazarus body as, Nova cut off his restraint, as Astra Lason and Bacho stood.

But im the next moment.

*BOOM*

A large explosion erupted sending out dozens of ice shards towards them but, Lason immediately raised one of his arms and cause the ice to melt before reaching them becoming steam.

As they looked up they saw a large brown wolf that stood on a fours around the size of 400 meters. Its maw was full of sharp teeth that seemed strong enough to tear flesh with ease.

"Argh! Thanks for the save Daken." The boss rose from the icey dabry as he looked at their attackers.

As he did he realized who came to attack them.'shit! We fucked up!' He thought as he immediately recognized the Bloodfire twins and witch princess.

He tried to see of there was a way out of this without violence but, recognized that wasn't an option after seeing the worry in the twins eyes at their hostage. He looked at the big wolf and shook his head.

With the go ahead the large beast charge at impressive speed tackling Lason and Bacho immediately out of the factory building.

And in the next moment black smoke left the elderly man to which Cassandra jumped and landed on one of the elevated walk ways. Astra teleported Nova further back behind some large boxes and she created a spatial barrier to keep the smoke from touching her.

Astra looked at them and instead of her charming smile she gave them a wicked grinned. "You know i hate you filthy necromancers more than anything
