SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450: Broken

The shift was instantaneous. One moment, the heir was a roaring inferno of malicious authority, flames licking the sky as if he were about to split the world open. The next, his infernal blaze guttered out like a candle in a storm.

The black fire that had devoured the [Divine Bladestorm] winked out. The glaive, still poised at Damon’s chest, lowered ever so slightly, its flames shriveling into harmless embers. The heir’s pupils, once molten coals, were now flat grey, and lifeless as stone.

The heir’s body twitched once, then stiffened. Instead of the powerful attacks that the demon tossed one after the other, the body now raised its hand to cast a simple demonic fire explosion skill.

The aftermath was no doubt deadly, but it was not remotely as powerful as the heir’s attack. Damon’s grin widened. His shadow clone had done it! It had finally come through for him in the clutch!

He immediately emptied a healing potion and melded into the shadows.

The explosion blossomed like a flower of black fire, swallowing the street in a thunderous wave. Stone cracked, walls collapsed, and the night sky lit up with a plume of smoke and flame. Yet Damon, already dissolved into the shadows, slipped away like mist before the blast could devour him.

The heat grazed his form, searing his already tattered health, but compared to what he had just endured, it was almost laughable. From his vantage point in the gloom of a shattered alley, he watched.

The demon heir moved stiffly now, as though strings guided his limbs. The aura of crushing supremacy was gone, replaced by a hollow emptiness. His grey eyes stared ahead without focus, and he cast another fire explosion into the ruins, again devastating, but crude, shallow, and mechanical.

The vampiress crawled out of the rubble, coughing blood, eyes flashing in disbelief. She, too, seemed to notice the difference. "He... he’s weakened," she whispered hoarsely, her voice trembling with both fear and exhilaration.

Damon’s fangs bared in a bloody grin. "Weakened?" He shook his head. "No. He’s broken. You got a minute. Maybe only seconds. Can you kill him or not? Make your decision quickly. If you can’t kill, then at least activate the portal to the crimson mountains. We need to get out of here."

The vampiress staggered upright, leaning heavily on her shattered blood sword. Her crimson eyes flickered with fury and hesitation, the weight of centuries of ambition warring with the stark reality before her.

"Kill him? In this state, even broken, he’s still a demon heir. If I fail, neither of us will leave this city alive."

The vampiress clenched her jaw, then pressed her hand against the cracked sigil-stone at her waist. A blood portal shimmered faintly, unstable, half-formed. "The portal will take time. I can hold it open for thirty seconds at most. But I need to get the others. I cannot simply let them all perish for my mistake. I need to get back to the auction hall." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Damon’s eyes suddenly widened as he remembered the elven slave. "Fine. Let’s go. Do you have a way to get us there faster?"
