Chapter 555
Chapter 555 Battle of Two Titans
Greem?
Leicester quickly searched through his mind for mentions of this name as he sat down with the unfamiliar adept.
Almost all adepts possessed eidetic memory with their powerful Spirits. In particular, it wasn’t easy to forget unique individuals like Greem, especially if they have already met once before.
However, despite all of his efforts, Leicester could not recall anything about his uninvited guest.
Which meant this should be the first time they have met each other!
The smile on Leicester’s face only froze for a slight instant before returning to normal.
“Sir Greem, I wonder what matter brings you so suddenly to our family’s Rose Manor?”
That female vampire had exceptional potential, and even the chance to advance to Second Grade. However, the potential was only a possibility. This Greem would take the risk of aggravating a Second Grade like himself for that slight chance?
Greem finally put it out in the open, as if he sensed Leicester’s doubts.
“Sir Leicester, to be honest with you, that Mary you have in your custody is my lover. I cannot possibly give her up for any benefit you may offer me!”
Leicester understood the seriousness of the issue once he heard Greem’s confession.
Much like Greem couldn’t give up on Mary, Leicester also had his reasons not to let Mary go. It seemed that there was no room for any negotiation between the two of them.
Both of them seemed to sense the other’s determination in their eyes. Their expressions turned more and more solemn, and soon a dense and sinister killing intent started to surface.
The atmosphere in the hall only hung there for half a second.
No one knew which of the two was the first to let their killing intent surface, but both Second Grade adepts erupted almost simultaneously!
The guest hall wasn’t all that large.
Both adepts were only five or six meters away from each other. There was also a sturdy and thick square oak table between them. Yet, in the matter of a single instant, the oak table split into several pieces and shot towards Greem. Meanwhile, Leicester’s phantom-like silhouette closed in on the fire adept.
Leicester’s hands raced as his sharp nails shrouded in dense, sizzling blood energies pierced into Greem’s body like blades.
The attack had just started when Leicester sensed an overwhelming surge of fire rushing toward him. His instincts for danger caused his face to blanch. He didn’t even have time to check the damage done by his attack.
His nails had penetrated half an inch into Greem’s body. If he had just one-tenth of a second more to spare, he would have been able to pierce through Greem’s body completely. However, that pressing sense of danger made him give up this opportunity. Leicester flashed and left Greem’s side.
The next second, a ferocious storm of fire erupted from Greem’s body, instantly enveloping the guest hall in a sea of flames.
Szzzzzz!
Greem’s black suit immediately split apart when the fearsome streams of flame appeared. A fountain of blood also shot out of eight deep wounds on Greem’s body at the same time. The heat vaporized the blood before it could even reach the ground.
At the same instant, the Blaze of Destruction appeared in Greem’s left hand. His body stalled for a moment, and an even large and more terrifying Ring of Fire shot out of his body and enveloped the entirety of the building.
The scorching flames and heat enveloped the banquet in an instant. Those ordinary humans who were not protected by any magic were burned to ashes before they could even howl in pain. The members of the Vik Family quickly summoned a dense cloud of blood mist from their bodies to protect themselves as the fled from the Ring of Fire.
The vampires and blood slaves below Viscount level (First Grade) were also burned to ashes before they could escape due to the exhaustion of their blood energy.
There had been three or four hundred people laughing and talking in the banquet below. In the blink of an eye, only three or four people were left. These people had barely managed to escape from Rose Manor. The rest had all been turned to ashes in that terrifying sea of fire.
The three-story building built of brick and wood also collapsed from the fire, leaving two tall figures standing at odds against each other in the blazing field of fire.
