In the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, Nick Fury was observing Blade's battle with the Vampire Elder via satellite.
Nick Fury's single eye gleamed:
"Barbara, what's going on? What happened to Blade?"
"I don't know. I've never seen Blade like this either," Barbara said, equally puzzled.
Blade had always suppressed his bloodlust, only using it to replenish his energy in critical situations.
But the phantom fangs and Blade's colored pupils in the image were things Barbara had never heard Blade mention.
"So, this is a new power Blade has obtained?" Nick Fury's tone wasn't a question; he already suspected that bat-shaped watch.
Before Barbara could speak again, Nick Fury ordered, "Barbara. This mission is yours. Don't disappoint me."
"Yes, sir!"
After Barbara left, Nick Fury made a phone call. "Connect me to Zed Oleg."
"Mr. Nick Fury, please state the reason for your call, and I will determine whether to connect you to Mr. Zed," Setron's mechanical voice responded.
Nick Fury's eyes widened, and he said in an exaggerated tone, "What? He blocked me too? No one can block Nick Fury!"
"Sorry, verification failed."
"Motherfucker! Blade's body is showing signs of mutation. Hurry up," Nick Fury didn't want to waste any more time with this artificial intelligence.
"Verification passed. Connecting to Mr. Zed."
Zed was enjoying life on the royal bed in Dralong Castle, with Xin's waist supported by his hand. His right hand opened the communicator:
"What's the meaning of this, Nick Fury? I recall our agreement was limited to things I find interesting, not interrupting my nightlife in the middle of the night."
Xin's eyes were drowsy as she leaned against the headboard, her lips pursed, not making a sound. (Evil can't triumph over good.)
"Is a fight interesting? Is Blade's mutation interesting?" Nick Fury asked with certainty.
Zed frowned, and couldn't help but ask:
"Blade mutated? What's going on?"
"Blade's vampire vertical pupils are gone. His pupils have turned into something like colored glass, and he's also grown two illusory fangs," Nick Fury replied succinctly.
"Fangblood!"
Blade cracked his neck, flicked the tip of his blade, and faced the remaining five vampires.
"Now, let's begin the next movement."
Blade appeared before the Vampire Elder as if teleporting, his blade thrusting directly at the vampire's heart, radiating a determined aura.
But the Vampire Elder wasn't some pampered individual. His body instinctively dodged to the right, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow to his heart.
Blade's blade passed through the vampire's armpit, creating a wound. Although the injury was not light, it was better than being pierced through the heart.
Before the Vampire Elder could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Blade's lips curl slightly, his hand flipped over, and the katana's blade slashed upwards, drawing a cold blade of light.
Chh~
One of the Vampire Elder's arms was severed, and foul-smelling blood gushed out.
Blade, with his left hand holding the katana, blocked the rapier that attacked from behind, "You're too slow."
Elder Torredo's eyes widened, and the veins on his body bulged with blood, while colorful tattoos spread across Blade's body. The two now looked quite similar.
Blade used his left hand to knock away Torredo's rapier, then spun around and stabbed at the vampire behind him. While turning, he also copied Zed and executed a Spin Kick.
Bang!
Half of Torredo's face was kicked in, and he howled in pain as he fell to the ground. The other three Vampire Elders joined forces to block Blade, buying time for Torredo and the other injured vampire to recover.
Subsequently, the combined efforts of the five Vampire Elders indeed caused trouble for Blade. Although he wasn't defeated, it wasn't as easy as before.
As time dragged on, the colorful patterns on Blade's body gradually faded, and his strength and speed weren't as exaggerated as before.
This phenomenon gave the few Vampire Elders hope. "Don't let him suck from us again; we can wear him down."
The five Vampire Elders surrounded Blade, with only one or two attacking at a time, while the others provided support, never lingering in the fight.
Blade could feel the surging energy within him slowly receding, and he was gradually tiring in the face of the five Vampire Elders' entanglement.
Blade desperately increased his attacks, but the more he did so, the more certain the vampires became that Blade wouldn't last much longer.
The exhilarating battle had devolved into a tiresome stalemate, a frustrating dance of attrition. The colorful markings on Blade's body were fading, and he was quickly losing ground.
Slish
A gash opened on Blade's shoulder – the first wound he'd sustained since his power-up.
"Keep going, don't stop. Stay steady, don't let your guard down. We can win this."
Torredo wasn't letting his advantage cloud his judgment. Blade had no opportunity to set up a counterattack.
After three or four minutes, Blade was covered in more wounds, his stamina waning.
A shifty-eyed Vampire, hugging the ground, darted past Blade's back. A spray of blood erupted from Blade's ankle.
Blade stumbled, nearly losing his footing. That momentary lapse was all the other Vampires needed.
Blade leaned on his Katana for support with his left hand, swinging the Katana in his right hand towards Torredo.
Torredo was ready, blocking the powerful blow. While the two were locked in a stalemate, two more vampires flanked Blade, forcing him to become increasingly vulnerable.
Blade knew the final killing blow was coming from behind, but he couldn't protect his rear.
The killing intent grew closer, the claws drew nearer.
"Dark Moon Break!"
BOOM!
A dark shadow descended from the sky, stomping the attacking vampire from behind, leaving only a giant bat mark and a scattering of ashes.
"Just who the hell are you?" The Vampire Elders were frightened, losing their composure.
Zed turned sideways, raising his hand and pointing at the vampires.
"The most evil and vicious demon king, Kamen Rider Zi-O. Remember that."
Before the vampires could react, Zed charged forward. Aside from Torredo, who was still entangled with Blade, Zed had the other three vampires surrounded.
Zed kicked one vampire to the ground, then spun around, grabbing the claws of another that was trying to ambush him and executing a shoulder throw. Not satisfied, he lifted the vampire and used him as a weapon against the third.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zed stomped his left foot on the vampire's chest, grabbed his arms, and pulled upwards with all his might, tearing them clean off. Blood splattered everywhere, a gruesome scene.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the others and the screams of the vampire beneath his foot, Zed lifted his right foot and used his left foot as a pivot, turning a half-circle. At the end of the turn, his right foot landed squarely on the vampire's head.
"Goodbye~"
Bang! Brain matter and blood exploded, splattering Zed. "Disgusting~"
Zed tilted his head and beckoned to the remaining two vampires with a finger, his expression extremely mocking.
"Come on, entertain me with your blood! Otherwise, I'll feed you to my pets."
After the two Vampire Elders looked at each other, they immediately fled in different directions, completely disregarding Torredo who was still there.
"Damn it! You two! Damn it, damn it!" Torredo was truly panicked.
Zed looked left and right, then spoke: "Two of them, just right. Go eat."
A piercing sound rang out from the castle windows. Two Twin Dragons, one red and one black, flew out of the glass, chasing after a Vampire Elder each.
Zed believed that with the Twin Dragons' power, these two Vampire Elders definitely couldn't escape, so he turned around and faced Torredo with ease.
Zed raised his hand and pointed at Torredo, speaking righteously: "Now, let's count your sins!
One, you wasted my time and energy. Two, your blood splattered on me. Three, you disturbed my nightlife.
Therefore, Zetsubanda!"
Zed strode towards Torredo with a swagger, listing off his sins as he went.
Torredo wanted to escape, but Blade had blocked his retreat, and the killer approaching from the front was getting closer.
"Get... out of my way!"
Torredo's eyes hardened as he turned and charged towards Blade, gambling everything on this last desperate gamble.
Blade held his dual swords, adopting a stance. His body lowered slightly, knees bent, as he calmly faced the frenzied Torredo.
The instant they crossed paths, Torredo unleashed the greatest sword strike of his life, while Blade simultaneously executed his unrepeatable Dual Iai.
They stood back-to-back, frozen in their final actions; or rather, unable to move even if they wanted to.
Pfft!
A bloody hole appeared in Blade's left shoulder, and then Torredo's retreating sword took with it a large chunk of flesh.
Blade's side was stained red, but he forced himself to stay standing, facing Zed.
"I won. The rest is up to you."
Clink.
A crisp sound of metal hitting the ground echoed. Torredo's rapier had been severed in two, and so had Torredo's left leg.
"Aah!"
Torredo wailed, collapsing to the ground, and struggled to crawl forward with his hands. "Hah… hah… Aah… I can't die yet! I can't die yet!"
Torredo gasped frantically, crawling with all his might, leaving a long trail of blood behind him.
Zed walked past Blade, approaching Torredo step by step, and jeered: "What are you doing? Vampire!"
Torredo ignored Zed behind him, continuing to crawl. "I can't die yet! I can't die yet! Hah… hah…"
Zed slowed his pace, walking alongside Torredo. "Don't stop! Keep going!"
Caught up in the moment, Zed couldn't help but hum: "The flower of hope, connecting our bonds. Become our strength, and bloom brightly tomorrow."
The beautiful melody finally caught Torredo's attention. His movements slowed, and he eventually stopped crawling, standing still and listening to the song blankly.
When Zed stopped humming, Torredo gave a sorrowful smile and asked,
"What's the name of this song?"
Zed walked in front of Torredo, slowly raised his foot, and as he stomped down hard, said, "It's called All Muda!"
