Chapter 786: The Talisman Maniac
Statham was confused at the barrier or the mysterious power that reflected his attack…
However, he wouldn’t be the Vampire Lord if he’d just give up after experiencing a simple setback…
For a few moments, Statham gathered his Blood Energy as he tried to use his charm to stun Aya. He just needed a second or two, and if he succeeded, it’d be a guaranteed win…
However, as Aya stood firm before the Crystal Core, she was also surrounded by her Barrier Talismans, protecting her at all times.
These weren’t just hastily created Talismans, but they were all carefully crafted by her from the very moment Shane recruited her. At first, she could only craft about 30 to 40 Talismans per day. There were even cases where it would be lower than that if their supplies of ink and paper were lacking.
Still, because of Shane’s hard work, she no longer had to worry about the supplies. She also drank a few bottles of Dragon’s Veil Elixir and other miracle potions that made her a lot stronger.
Even if she was alone, she was confident to win this against a Vampire Lord who had a limited source of blood.
The Vampire Lord then took a deep breath as he realized that Aya was not affected by his charm skills.
“Paper charms… Do you think these scraps can shield you from me, girl?”
Aya lifted her hand… This time, it was the Seal of Warding.
“Let’s see what you can do, mosquito…”
At once, dozens of talismans along the strings ignited.
After that, chains made of white light appeared and started wrapping around the Vampire Lord’s limbs and torso. It wasn’t just that, it also started burning his pale flesh!
Statham was roared as he ripped them apart with brute force, but each broken chain only fed more light into the chamber.
“If you can regenerate indefinitely, then sealing you is the best option I have…” Aya muttered to herself since she already heard that Statham had the ability to revive himself even with just a single drop of blood
Crash!
Statham suddenly burst with power, and then, he turned into a mist… However, he knew that in that form, he would be more vulnerable, so it only happened for a brief second to escape from the chains.
As soon as he reformed, the Vampire Lord charged forward… His speed was monstrous!
In an instant, he arrived in front of Aya, aiming to claw her throat.
However, even if Statham vanished from her sight, Aya knew that she was the only target he had to eliminate first…
Bang!
Statham’s hands crashed against a Shield Talisman barrier that erupted in front of her… Sparks sprayed as his nails scraped against the surface.
“That’s a bit too obvious, mosquito…” Aya said as she tried to mess with the vampire’s mind.
Then, with her free hand, she slapped down a Lightning Talisman.
The charm detonated, and a lightning bolt came straight through the vampire’s chest. His body jolted violently as he was directly hit!
There was even smoke rising from the wound!
However, the Vampire Lord was resilient! He only laughed and dissolved into a swarm of blood bats this time…
Aya frowned at this as she clapped her palms together, activating the wards overhead…
“Ignition!”
Just like that, thousands of talismans lit up at once.
The chamber’s temperature suddenly became so high that walls of fire seared through the swarm.
The bats shrieked and burst into bloody mist.
Thud…
Just like that, the Vampire Lord reformed on the ground. He was obviously hurt by the move that Aya just pulled off. She spent a lot of Talisman on that move, but they were satisfying!
“You insolent witch!”
He thrust his hand forward and blood magic surged…
Several red spears erupted from the ground, aiming to put holes on Aya’s body.
In answer, Aya activated a set of Stone Seal Talisman as slabs of earth emerged upward, forming a wall to block the attack…
Crash… Crash…
The spears shattered against as Statham realized that his opponent was truly in control of this chamber…
It would be very difficult to win if he stayed in this place…
However, his target, the Shelter Crystal, was located here.
“Fine… Let’s see how you’ll deal with this…”
Statham already had another plan as he crashed through the wall!
Suddenly, a spear of blood formed in his grip.
The weapon cleaved downward with his strength that was more than 300 points.
Bang!
Aya leapt back, activating a Wind Talisman. With this talisman, a burst of gales moved her across the chamber, saving her from Statham’s chase…
The spear only struck the floor, carving a small crater…
Aya landed hard, but she was still perfectly fine…
Her eyes never left the monster in front of her as she knew that Statham’s speed could be dangerous to her.
Realizing that a follow-up was coming, she triggered a sequence of talismans across her own body: Body Reinforcement, Speed Boost, and Spirit Barrier.
Just like that, her aura surged… The fragile priestess was replaced by a warrior wrapped in reinforcements.
With this defense, she could at least focus on her offense!
Just like that, dozens of talismans peeled from the strings and followed her, orbiting like blades.
She then threw them like knives!
Many of them were Fireball Talismans exploding in waves… They were followed by Binding Talismans shooting chains to bind the Vampire Lord’s limbs, and lastly, several more Lightning Talismans spearing him again and again!
“Just die, mosquito!”
The chamber shook as the number of talismans she released had probably reached more than three thousand!
The Vampire Lord roared in rage as he was burned, chained, and sliced repeatedly!
Still, he endured, tearing through the seals with his blood energy!
However, he couldn’t even get closer to the young Shaman…
“You!” Statham was unable to do anything as he realized that he had indeed fallen into a trap. This Shelter Crystal’s chamber wasn’t lightly protected.
This chamber was actually heavily protected by this Talisman maniac!
