Use sticks to beat the dogs?
Vince fumed at Nathan's crude remark.
“Show me if your current abilities are as sharp as your tongue,” he challenged, then charged at Nathan with lightning speed so that one could only see an afterimage of his body.
“Perfect timing!”
Nathan lunged to meet him halfway while wielding the dagger.
That slash was as swift as a lightning bolt.
Vince was shocked. He didn't dare to face Nathan's attack head-on since the dagger was made of mithril, which had a severely damaging effect on vampires. Clasping his hands together, which were covered by a pair of gloves, he caught the edge of the dagger.
Nathan snickered.
He turned the dagger in his hand, and the sharp edge of the blade sliced through Vince's gloves in a heartbeat, cutting through the latter's fingers.
Vince sucked in a sharp breath and quickly retracted his hands, which were covered in blood.
However, Nathan didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. He swung his leg and kicked him in the chest.
Vince flew backward from the impact as if a train had crashed into him.
When he was in midair, he used a technique that pulled him down, resulting in his rapid plummet to the ground.
He planted his feet on the ground firmly and forcibly steadied himself.
Nathan didn't follow up with another attack and merely stated, “That's the third one. Seven moves left to go.”
Vince glanced at his bloody hands with fear and anger. He did not expect Nathan to actually plan to kill him within ten moves.
“Your weapon, Your Grace.”
At that time, a vampire saw Nathan overpowering Vince, so he hurriedly tossed Vince's weapon to him.
It was a gorgeous rapier.
The second Vince caught the weapon, he drew some power within his body and watched as the tiny cuts on his hands began to heal.
In the blink of an eye, every wound on his hands had healed perfectly. As the scabs slipped off the wounds, the skin over his hands regained its softness and fairness like those of a young girl's.
Colin and the rest were surprised by the scene.
Nathan frowned at the sight too.
It looks like vampires like Vince who have lived up to hundreds and maybe even thousands of years possess strong rejuvenating abilities.
Vince tightened his grip over the rapier and roared, “Again!”
