Sercrent had thought that the Dhampir’s expression was empty due to despair, but the Dhampir said this proudly. Quite the bluff. Sercrent was inferior to Eleanora, but his Mana and martial skills were worthy of being called those of a Noble-born Vampire.

It will take some time, but even with one arm, breaking a barrier like this would be… One arm?

「Sercrent’s arm and leg haven’t regenerated?」(Eleanora)

Eleanora noticed that Sercrent’s wounds were simply continuing to spill blood. With the regenerative ability of a Noble-born Vampire, the wounds should have stopped bleeding and begun to regenerate by now like the one in her own back, unless cut by a sword made of silver or a magic sword of the light attribute.

However, there were no signs of this occurring at all.

「I’ve used a spell called【Healing Negation】that nullifies self-healing abilities. It only works while I continue casting it, but it’s enough to kill you.」(Vandalieu)

It took a moment for Eleanora and Sercrent to understand the flat-toned words that Vandalieu spoke.

「Ah… AAAAAAAGH!」(Sercrent)

The moment he finally understood what Vandalieu meant, Sercrent let out a shout that didn’t quite sound like a scream or roar. He tried to break through Vandalieu’s barrier at all costs.

Before he died from losing too much blood.

Vampires have incredible regenerative abilities. Noble-born Vampires in particular can lose limbs and regrow new ones, and after some time passes, the limbs return to normal.

That was why Eleanora and Sercrent never bothered learning healing spells. They didn’t even carry Potions with them.

「UOOOOOOOH!」(Sercrent)

Sercrent attempted to use lightning and fire spells as a last-ditch effort to cauterize his wounds and stop his bleeding, but they faded away as they had their Mana absorbed by the【Magic Absorption Barrier.】

And the more he struggled, the more blood poured out of his open wounds.

「Uoh… oh…」(Sercrent)

Sercrent’s movements grew remarkably weaker and his originally white skin became deathly pale.

「Y-you bastard, I… I am the… subordinate of… the Pure-breed… Vampire… Gubamon… who has received… the divine protection of the…【Evil God of Joyful Life】, Hihiryushukaka… If you kill me… Hundreds of Vampires will… Even the Mirg shield-nation… is our puppet… They’ll send their forces here! If you… don’t want that to –」(Sercrent)
