Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 238 Clash of Beasts - 1

The moment Selene and Nikolai entered the boss chamber, a frigid air flowed from the depths, creating a dense mist that blocked their vision.

”Nikolai, I cannot see you!”

Selene called out, her voice sweet and filled with worry.

Nikolai turned to his right, able to see her looking straight at him with a wide grin.

”You...”

”Fufu, you got me!♡♡”

”Donʼt play around... this isnʼt somewhere to play.”

He couldnʼt help finding this new side of her a little confusing. Sometimes, she acts sweet and hot, like molten honey, and then she becomes cool, seductive, and calm.

ʼIs it because she carrying a second soul for decades?ʼ

Nikolai didnʼt understand fully.

Instead, he continued observing her. He didnʼt want to see Selene or any of the girls suffering—thus, he couldnʼt ignore her antics.

—tap, tap, tap!

Soft footsteps echoed in the cold, icy fog—something was prowling around as if searching for them.

The moment Selene noticed the sounds, her eyes flicked towards Nikolai, shining dark red, dropping her playful act as blood swirled around her body with the shape changed to small spheres of blood.

”Selene, stay close to me.”

Nikolaiʼs body swelled up, transforming into his werewolf form, pure white and silver fur, his massive hands becoming deadly claws larger than his werewolfʼs head. A beast over seven feet tall stood as if to protect the smaller vampire behind him.

”Tsk... I still cannot see the enemy, even though I can see you.”

Seleneʼs eyes flicked and darted around the misty room. It wasnʼt the first time she fought a boss using things to hide their figure, like smoke or shadows.

ʼBut this feels different...ʼ

She inched forward, her stomach tightening and churning, giving her abdominal cramps.

—Woosh!

A sudden flash of white rushed through the icy fog, causing the mist to disperse for a moment... before a pure white hand holding a blade sliced across the air, slashing at Nikolaiʼs chest.

—Slash!

Blood sprayed from his wound, staining the snow on the floor with red.

”Gah!”

With a powerful counter, his left fist shot forward, just missing the enemy by a fraction. The enemy gave a slight gasp as it swiftly dodged and retreated into the dense fog. However, Nikolaiʼs sharp senses caught a glimpse of its appearance—a tall, slender creature, its skin cold, pale blue, and a mask covering its face.

—Da-Da-Dah!

Seleneʼs balls of solid blood smashed into the trail of escape, denting the ground with loud thuds.

”Careful, Itʼs a humanoid!”

Seleneʼs pupils shrank when she heard Nikolaiʼs voice as the fog trembled. Then she gazed at the silver blade thrust at her face. She didnʼt have time to dodge, so she put her arms up to protect herself, but...

—Clang!

A giant hand claw deflected the blade with sparks flying the moment after Nikolai dashed forward, slamming his shoulder into the attacker; his mouth opened wide before releasing a bellow to disperse the fog.

”Grraaaaawww!”

The howling wind swirled the icy mist away, revealing the monster—a humanoid boss, a beautiful woman with feline features. With white ears, a furry set of claws, and feet, she was a six-foot-tall humanoid tigress holding two short ice blades.

”Damned Dog!”

She snarled with a sharp and deep voice, her body covered in scars and tight muscles, instantly kicking off the ground and lunging at Asmodeus.

—Clink!

Selene blocked her strike with a blood shield, her eyes blazing a deep crimson hue. Her long hair whipped through the air like golden ribbons.

”Sheʼs strong...”

The barrier shattered with the womanʼs first strike before her body twisted and sent a kick towards Nikolaiʼs abdomen as he swung with a brutal strike towards her face. However, she lowered her head, tilting it underneath his attack before spinning and landing a powerful kick, knocking him back. The force of her attack was strong, sending him sliding several meters away.

”Damned cat.”

Nikolai groaned, his ribs aching, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

”Oh my~ such a powerful male! ♡♡” The white tiger gazed back, her cheek split open from the air pressure of his fist, causing a trickle of blood to ooze down her cheek before her tongue licked the wound, swallowing her blood.

”Shit...” Nikolai groaned, clutching his chest, which ached. He spat out some blood and looked up to see the white tiger, now with an evil grin on her face.

—Boom!

Suddenly, Seleneʼs blood magic rained down from the sky; spears and spheres shot at the female tiger, but she quickly raised her arm to cover herself.

—Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, the rain of blood never stopped. A dozen balls and spears struck her body and exploded into tiny fragments of frozen red crystals. Small, sharp blades burst from the shattered orbs and pierced the white tigerʼs body.

”Damn it! This fucking bitch!”

The white tiger roared in rage, her body covered in cuts. Blood gushed out from the wounds and stained her white fur and pale skin. But before she could retaliate, Nikolaiʼs right fist hit her abdomen with so much force her body left the floor, and his fist buried into her tight muscles, deforming her organs before sending her flying.

”Die!!”

Selene roared, her voice ringing out loud and clear, the blood spears raining from the sky toward the woman, aiming for her throat.

”Ha!”

However, the female tigerʼs body began to shine a pure white light before the spears hit. The spears struck the surface, but they couldnʼt penetrate her flesh.

The white tigerʼs breath became visible, cold... icy as she wrapped her body in a thick plate of ice. She landed on the floor and roared at the pair.

”You damn invaders, how dare you wound me like this.”

Her fingernails snapped before growing into long, white claws that were more like blades.

She ran toward them, swinging her arm with incredible strength and speed. Nikolai, unable to react to her sudden change, took a direct hit. Her claws sliced his shoulder, tearing huge chunks of flesh and flicking them into the distance. Then, she stepped on his shoulder and used him like a springboard to rush at Seline, who was creating more spears.

—Bang!

Selene sent a spear of blood towards the white tiger, who crossed her arms, blocking the spear with a thud, before forming an ice aura of ten crossed blades following her claws, before swinging both arms to send that aura flying towards Selene.

The aura flew faster than the wind, hitting her with a bang and sending her flying into the snow.

”Aaargh!”

”Shit.”

Nikolaiʼs claws dug into the snowy floor and pushed him up, roaring as he swung at the tiger, his arm cutting the air, causing the fog to scatter.

Her body upside down, twirling around her tail, slapped his cheek before her right leg smashed into his head, forcing him back onto the snowy floor.

”This stupid dog!! ♡♡♡”

Her mouth dripped a trail of saliva from the corner, a crazed smile on her lips as she sounded more excited the more damage he took rushing after his body.

Nikolaiʼs right hand dug into the ground using his claws, stopping himself. His eyes saw the rapidly approaching blur, quickly thrusting his left leg at her.

—Crack!

Her forearm broke into a crooked angle as his leg hit her. She didnʼt even dodge. Instead, she let her body twist, bringing her legs up to strike his jaw and head, making his brain rattle in his skull.

”Ahahaha! Youʼre so good, so delicious!” the woman cackled, a crazy light glinting in her eye, her forearm snapping back into place as her skin and bones seemed to freeze, not healed but held in place using her magic.

”Haa.....ha.....ha....haa...”

Nikolai breathed deeply while the female observed him, his pupils gradually turning black during the fight, causing him to realise why this floor suddenly made them both suffer...

ʼI cannot read her power levels...ʼ

He took a deep breath and pushed himself to his feed. The tiger was much stronger than the emerald tiger outside.

When he was much weaker, he couldnʼt see the power of anyone around him, like Sebastian, Selene, and Vlad. Now, he can see Seleneʼs power, but Vlad and his father are like this woman.

”Selene are you good?”

”Ugh.... Koff....”

Seleneʼs body trembled as she stood up, blood dripping from her chest and arms that tried to block the frozen claw attack.

”...Barely.”

—tap, tap, tap!

The sound of the tigerʼs claws tapping the floor as she hopped on the spot drew their attention, both narrowing their eyes as Selene bit her lower lip and muttered. ”Nikolai... Let me drink your blood...”

”Huh?”

”Trust me...”

She grimaced, swaying closer while collecting blood in her palm, creating an enormous sphere that rapidly rotated.

Nikolai glanced at his lover while keeping his focus on the tigers, still bouncing with her eyes filled with an icy stare, never leaving his body.

”Ok!”

He turned and grabbed Seleneʼs waist, pulling her closer, before Selene tossed the sphere into the air, and it rapidly expanded, covering the pair in a crimson light.

”This should hold for a few moment... get ready!”

Seleneʼs fangs extended, and the tiger in the background looked stunned before rushing at the blood barrier while Selene sneered and lowered her face into Nikolaiʼs neck.

ʼSomehow it feels different...ʼ

She thought as her fangs pierced his thick, muscular skin.

”You bitch!”

The tiger shrieked as it watched Selene bite Nikolaiʼs neck, her claws attacking the barrier furiously with no sense of elegance.

However... the blood sphere continued revolving.

When the femaleʼs blade-clawed hands struck it, a series of cracks erupted as one of her claws snapped, shattering the bone. However, the sphere did not crack; instead, a thick and powerful force repelled the tigerʼs attack.

”Shaa!!” The tiger hissed, hammering the blood sphere, her muscles swelling before each hit as veins bulged from her forehead.
