The Vampire King has become much stronger than me, but with my portals, I still have a chance to win. Though the Vampire King can still get stronger.

First, he can just drink my blood. That means I must never let him wound me again, or he will just get stronger.

And then, it's because there are still vampire's corpses in the area. They are the ten vampires who wanted to kill me even though I allowed them to leave.

Although I think the power he gained will be lesser than when he drank the blood of the Vampire Dukes, he can still get stronger.

Though if what he said about losing his mind is right, I might have a chance to win if I let him drink more blood. He will lose his mind, and his moves will be predictable.

But I don't want to trust in a small chance like that.

Usually, those who I fought and get provoked, will have their moves easily read. But they were all at most as strong as me. But this one is already stronger than me.

I guess I'll change the venue. I doubt he can fight in space, right?

Let's cover my body with Victoria first, and then use air magic to help me breathe. Once I can grab the vampire, I'll bring him to space.

"Do you think protecting your body with protective armor can help you win against me?" Avan asked me when he sees me covering my body with Victoria.

"Yes," I said confidently.

Now, how do I grab him? Well, for now, let's break apart Reizpear first and put them in my pocket. I'll make him think that I will fight barehanded.

"You're still using that sword even though I'm barehanded?" I provoked the Vampire King.

"I had enough of underestimating you. But still, no matter what you do, you won't be able to win."

Why is he saying something that contradict to his own words? First, he said that he won't underestimate me. But the next sentence, he's saying that he is underestimating me. Just how much pride does he have?

Now, I need to get closer to him. Let's calm down first by using the calming gas, and think clearly of a way to win. I need to get him as far away from the vampire's corpses, so I will bring him with me to the space. He won't be able to survive out there, right?

Then… he's gone!

Noticing that he's no longer in front of me, I quickly transformed the gauntlet part of Victoriarmor into a gun, and shoot at the area where the vampire corpses are. And I was right that he was there, grabbing one corpse with only a stabbing wound in his heart. That's the only corpse with intact limbs.

He also blocked the Blobbybullet with his hand. Damn, he's too strong.

I can no longer stand still, so I charged at him emptyhanded.

As he finished drinking the corpse's blood, I finally arrive and throw a punch at the Vampire King, in which he dodged it.

But I keep throwing punches. They are not slow, but he was just much faster. Though I didn't use my full strength, so I can still throw a stronger and faster punch. But I didn't do it so I can surprise him.

And as expected, he finally had enough of dodging my punches, and caught my right fist with his left palm.

"With that strength, you won't even be able to hurt me," Avan said.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm changing the venue," I replied calmly.

When he was confused, I grabbed his left arm with my left hand, and opened a portal behind me.

Before he can think about what I will do, I already use all my strength to pull him into the portal which is going to the space. Combined with the vacuum power from the opened portal, I can bring him with me.

"How will you fight in this place? I believe that no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to survive here for long. Oh, wait. You can't hear me because there's no air for sound to travel. What are you doing making me look stupid!" I shouted.

"Roy! You're the stupid one here! You're being covered by me from head to toe, so I'm the only one seeing you look stupid!" Victoria shouted back.

"Oh, if it's you, then it's fine," I said.

"How is it fine!?"

I looked at the panicked Vampire King who is unable to breathe. The broadsword in his right that he keeps holding to this place is finally let go. But as there's no gravity, the broadsword is still floating next to him.

I run on air… whatever it is, I run by using Aura and kicked the sword away from him. This way, if he wants to use weapon, he will need to use more of his blood.

No air, no land, no gravity. Avan doesn't know what to do. But after seeing me kicking his sword away, somehow, he's calmed down.

As I gain some distance from him, he used blood to create wings. But why is he calm?

"Maybe he's using the reserve blood to survive in this place. If you can hold long enough against him, he will still die after using all the blood he has," Victoria explained.

That sounds plausible. That mean I still have to fight him, right? If I escape, he might still able to go back to Monsters World…

Wait, where's the planet? Is the Blobby floated away from the planet? Well, that's fine. I can just use portal to return.

But I can't return now until I know that the Vampire King is dead.

"Let's fight here, Vampire King!" I shouted.

"Like I said, he can't hear you!"

This time, I'm using Reizpear again to fight. It's kind of weird that we fought, but there's no sound at all.

Avan created another sword. This time, it's not the giant broadsword like before, but slimmer and thinner. But it's still bigger than regular sword. He must be thinking of saving his blood.

But still, he's already stronger than me. I can win if I hold on long enough that he wasted his blood, but I doubt he will let me. Seems like he doesn't care about his life anymore, and just thinking of killing me.

I blocked his sword with Reizpear. Seems like because he's preserving his blood usage, so the speed is lowered. That's why he's slower than before.

Still… it's funny to fight someone who is upside down.

Wait, is the one being upside down him, or me?

There's no up or down here, so it's confusing.

Let's just calm my mind with calming gas, and fight.

Avan maintaining his speed and strength ever since he started fighting. Not getting stronger, or weaker. Seems like he's quickly adjusted himself to fight in this place.

Because he's flying with wings, his movement is also smoother than me. but because I'm stepping with my feet, my movement is sharper. That's the difference between us, but neither of us have advantage.

But I can wound him with Reizpear, while his attack is blocked by Victoriarmor. Each time my attack reached him, his attack is getting weaker, but soon enough his strength returns. As long as I keep this up, I can win by chipping his strength away.

We fought for a long time in space already. I don't know how long I have been here, but it should be more than one hour since I brought him here.

The Vampire King Avan, started getting tired. His attacks are getting sloppy and slow. His wings are smaller now. He doesn't have enough blood to survive a few more attacks.

Finally, the Vampire King gave up. He let go of his sword, and the wings on his back disappear.

He spoke some words, But I can't hear him. Let's use air magic between us so we can communicate. Will it work?

"Can you hear me now?" I asked.

"I can talk now?" Avan asked.

"I used air magic. I couldn't hear what you said after all. Are you giving up now?"

"…kill me. There's nothing else I can do. But I can't tell the vampires to surrender and retreat. I—"

"Enough. Die," I said as I pierced Reizpear into his heart. I don't want to hear dying messages. Especially from my enemy.

For whatever reason they are attacking, I no longer care. Albert and the others can take care of it.

After stabbing his heart, I keep stabbing it until I know that his heart no longer working, and no amount of blood can restore his life.

The Vampire King is finally dead, and he died in space. His body is floating with no destination.

"Haaa… I'm tired," I said.

"You have fought well. Though fighting in space is quite amazing. Let's go back quickly before your magic run out, or you won't be able to use portal anymore. I know you almost exhausted your magic as well. The battle went for quite long after all," Victoria said.

She's right. if the battle continues for another hour, I won't be able to use portal to return.

Hmm? What is this feeling?

"Roy, can you feel it too?" Victoria asked.

"Yeah. It came from that planet. Is that Monsters World?" I asked.

I feel a little bit of mana fluctuation, and it suddenly disappears. It was quite powerful that I can feel it from this place.

"I hope that's Angela finishing her breakthrough," I said.

"Then let's go back quickly to check!" Victoria said impatiently.

If that's true, then we have the strongest mage in our rank.

I quickly opened a portal to an empty island in Monsters World, and opened another one from there back to where Angela is breaking through to see that the battle over there is over as well.

…Damn! We are amazing!
