The hazy moonlight shrouded the secluded alleyway. Inside the narrow passage, two figures wrestled with each other, their speed and strength far exceeding anything human.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Anna and the female vampire with the scene hairstyle tore at each other, trading punches and elbows. One moment Anna was slammed into the wall, the next she kicked her opponent flying. At first glance, they seemed evenly matched. In reality, the scene vampire was confident, while Anna was burning with anxiety.
How could she not be anxious?
They were both vampires, their speed and strength were roughly the same. In a one-on-one fight, Anna was confident she could escape. But her opponent had an accomplice. Although he hadn't made a move yet, the pressure he exerted on Anna was immense.
Moreover, this was Camille's territory. The longer this dragged on, the more trouble she'd be in.
As they fought, a look of joy suddenly flashed across Anna's face. She abruptly shouted towards the alley entrance behind the scene vampire, "You're finally here! Come help me, quick!"
Her voice sounded sincere and urgent.
"She has an accomplice?" The scene vampire turned her head subconsciously.
Anna accelerated instantly, pushing her speed to the absolute limit. Like a gust of wind, she flashed past the scene vampire, heading straight for the alley entrance behind her.
As long as she rushed out of the alley, she could escape.
Although the night belonged to the creatures of the Shadow World, they still didn't dare to act recklessly without scruples. As long as she ran into a crowd and hid until dawn, she could leave Brooklyn openly.
Anna was clever, but the scene vampire wasn't stupid either. If Anna really had an accomplice, her own partner would definitely have warned her.
"You dare trick me!"
Reacting quickly, the scene vampire spun her body sideways and swept a heavy backhand chop directly into Anna's path.
Bang!
Anna felt like she'd been hit by a car. With a muffled groan, she flew backward instantly, sliding a meter or two on the ground before stopping.
Too late to feel the pain, Anna pushed off the ground with both hands and flipped up, looking at the male vampire who had remained still, wary that he might seize the chance to attack.
However, the male vampire didn't move. He didn't even look at Anna.
His gaze went past Anna and the scene vampire, staring fixedly at the alley entrance.
"Careful. Someone's there," he warned the scene vampire in a low voice.
Someone?
There's really someone?
Anna was stunned. Where did she get an accomplice from?
The scene vampire turned to look at the alley entrance, and Anna tilted her head slightly to look as well.
A figure was indeed slowly emerging from the dim entrance of the alley. Step by step, strolling leisurely as if taking a walk, he emerged from the shadows, revealing his true face.
"It's him!"
Although she didn't know why he was wearing sunglasses in the dark, Anna recognized him instantly. It was the guy who caused her to flee and get cornered by enemies here... Shane!
The scene vampire sniffed the air a few times, then sneered arrogantly, "Not a Shadowhunter, not a werewolf. Just a human. That bitch's blood slave? Truly loyal. Then I'll kill you first, and then your master."
As her voice fell, the scene vampire's figure flashed, appearing in front of him instantly. Her hand formed a claw, stabbing directly at his heart.
Splurt! Her hand pierced through the chest.
The scene vampire's arrogant and ferocious expression changed abruptly. Something was wrong. The sensation from her hand was wrong!
Poof!
White smoke rose, and the form changed.
What her hand had pierced was clearly a trash can!
The scene vampire froze, and immediately her companion's warning rang in her ears.
"Watch out!"
Accompanied by this warning, the scene vampire saw a figure charging at her. In that instant, she panicked slightly, but quickly relaxed.
The opponent's speed wasn't fast. His steps, his movements were all clearly visible.
She calculated his speed, the corners of her mouth grinning savagely as she reached out again. She could already foresee that when he rushed over, her hand would pierce right through his...
Whoosh!
Dis... disappeared?
The scene vampire's eyes widened instantly. So fast! How did he suddenly become so fast?!
The sudden burst of extreme speed caught her off guard. Shane saw her stunned expression, the corners of his mouth curling up. He leaned back, supporting his body with his right hand on the ground, and kicked upward forcefully with his left leg.
Bang!
A heavy kick landed squarely on the scene vampire's chin. The massive force threw her arms back and launched her body vertically into the air, rising high.
"Shadow of the Dancing Leaf!"
Straightening his waist to stand, watching the still-rising vampire, Shane took a deep breath, his hands forming seals rapidly, and suddenly opened his mouth.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A cluster of flames shot straight up, catching the mid-air vampire. Immediately following was a boom—the flames exploded, filling the air with a sea of fire.
The scene vampire let out a scream before falling silent. Within the crimson flames, a golden light shaped like a human figure flickered faintly, followed by specks of ash and sparks drifting down from the sky.
Ding!
Kill Reward: 1 Point.
The notification sound rang out.
Shane looked levelly at Anna and the male vampire, who were dodging the sparks. He extended a hand and pointed at the male vampire.
"Do you... also want to dance?"
Without a word, the male vampire turned and ran.
"Don't let him get away, or we'll be in trouble!" seeing this, Anna shouted urgently.
Shane flipped his wrist, gripping a kunai tagged with an explosive tag in a standard grip, and whipped his arm.
Thwack—
The kunai pierced the back of the male vampire's head with precision and speed. The vampire grunted, his movement stalling. Immediately after, a sizzling sound was heard. The explosive tag burned, then detonated.
Boom!
The flames from the explosion engulfed the male vampire instantly. A blinding light flashed, and he was directly reduced to ash.
The sea of fire dissipated. The explosion vanished.
The alley, which had been as bright as day just a moment ago, plunged back into darkness.
