Chapter 2291 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âArrogant jerk! How dare a pathetic vampire like you come here and act so boldly? Do you think no one in Dragonmarsh can take you down?â Aurora fumed.
Just when she was about to take action, Fenley raised his hand to stop her. He understood that vampire aristocrats were formidable opponents. Given Auroraâs current strength, she stood no chance against them.
âIâm guessing this is your first time in Dragonmarsh, right?â Fenleyâs voice was calm, but his gaze was icy.
âSo, what if it is?â Bill lifted his chin defiantly.
âYou must be clueless. It seems your elders didnât tell you that once youâre in Dragonmarsh, you must keep a low profile, or you might end up dead.â Fenley slowly stood up, radiating a murderous intent.
As long as the Strequans behaved in Dragonmarsh, they were generally left. alone. But Billâs reckless and provocative behavior was like signing his own death warrant.
âEnd up dead?â Bill laughed mockingly. âDo you and your little group think you can take me on?â
âLetâs find out.â Fenley slammed his hand on the table. Instantly, the dozens of skewers began to levitate and hovered in the air.
With a flick of his wrist, the skewers shot toward Bill like speeding bullets. Each skewer was charged with the Grandmasterâs internal energy, capable of piercing steel plates.
Billâs eyes narrowed as his fingernails suddenly extended three inches and became razor sharp. As the skewers flew toward him, he sliced through each one with pinpoint accuracy.
His nails were comparable to Divine Weapons, slicing through the skewers effortlessly as if they were made of butter.
âHeh⦠Is that all youâve got?â Bill sneered.
Just as he was about to continue his taunts, he noticed Fenley had disappeared from his seat. In the blink of an eye, Fenley reappeared just 20 inches away.
âHuh?â Billâs eyes widened in shock as he instinctively raised his hand to strike. Before fully extending his claws, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked down and was stunned to see Fenleyâs hand had already pierced through his chest, blood staining his hand.
âYou-â Bill was dumbfounded, and his eyes widened with disbelief.
Vampires had always taken pride in their speed and strength, which usually gave them a significant advantage over human martial artists. But he never expected Fenley to be faster than him.
At that moment, George and Jeremiah, who had been drinking and observing the scene, stopped their chatters. They exchanged glances, and both looked equally astonished.
They were well aware of Billâs strength. He often triumphed over Dragonmarshâs Grandmasters. But now he was severely wounded after just one move. It dawned on them that Fenley wasnât an ordinary martial artist.
âPathetic!â Fenley scoffed. With a flick of his wrist, he hurled Bill several feet through the air.
Bill slammed into the wall with a loud crash, and blood splattered everywhere. âUgh!â He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His already pale face turned even more ashen. Despite his impressive healing abilities, he couldnât get up after such a devastating blow.
âYouâre tougher than you look,â Fenley remarked with a cold glance.
If any ordinary vampireâs heart were pierced, it would be fatal.
However, as an aristocrat, Bill had superior vitality and a quicker recovery. Although his heart was damaged and would need time to heal, it wasnât enough to kill him with just one blow.
âHow dare you, you insignificant human! Iâm going to rip you apart!â Bill roared.
His eyes glowed red as his fangs lengthened and sharpened. A cloud of scarlet mist enveloped him like it had a will of its own before it seeped into his wounds. The mist healed his injuries almost instantly.
The others frowned in disbelief at his incredible regeneration. Even with a pierced heart, he healed at an astonishing rate, revealing the extraordinary power of his nobility.
âGo to hell!â Once fully healed, Bill surged forward.
He morphed into a crimson shadow as he charged at Fenley. His speed had increased dramatically, and it was nearly impossible for Aurora and Alicia to follow with their eyes.
âYouâre asking for it!â Fenley sneered and didnât flinch. He punched the crimson shadow with a blow that seemed ordinary but was packed with destructive power.
There was a loud explosion when Fenleyâs punch struck. It caused the crimson shadow to burst into a cloud of scarlet mist.
When everyone thought Bill had been killed, the mist swirled and quickly reformed behind Fenley. Bill reappeared in the blink of an eye, his sharp fang aimed at Fenleyâs neck.
With a single bite, Bill could paralyze Fenley instantly, leaving him immobile and vulnerable to being drained dry.
