Modern World Warlock-Chapter 198: Megan and Zac Vs. Vampires

It was early in the evening at the Jade Palace, and the Omega Team had finished their training for the day.

When the group made their way to the bathing area to take a shower, Dante noticed that Megan was keeping her heirloom dagger with her and inquired about its purpose.

"I got teleported away the other day… I don't want that to happen again while I'm unarmed," Megan replied.

"So, you are just keeping your dagger on you at all times?" Zac asked.

"I'll try…" Megan said, leaving Zac perplexed as he couldn't imagine himself walking around at all times with a baseball bat.

Suddenly, as if the brunette had known all along, her body was encased in shadows for a brief moment before disappearing from their sight.

"No way…" Zac muttered.

The redhead had seen Megan getting whisked away a day before, so he instantly knew what had happened to her, prompting him to turn around and return to the practice room to pick up his weapon.

"What if we get teleported next!?" Zac exclaimed as he ran.

On the other hand, Dante went to the briefing room to tell Camille about Megan's teleportation.

The only person who had a soul shard linked to Megan was Lina, so it was evident that it was the girl who had used the crystal. However, if all the teenagers were in trouble, then Zac and Dante would've been summoned, too.

Inside the warehouse where the teenagers were being kept hostage, the elder vampire stood away from them as his siblings took different strategic positions.

Madeline was sitting at the top of a metal railing near the ceiling while Ezekiel was hiding in a dark corner, facing the center of the room.

When Balthazar dropped and shattered Megan's soul shard, the shadows appeared and materialized the woman in a few seconds.

Megan stood in the center of the dark warehouse and quickly scanned her surroundings, feeling glad that her vision allowed her to see in the dark with ease.

"Sis, it's a trap!" Jake shouted.

Right at that moment, a needle-like projectile came straight towards Megan's neck at a high speed. Nevertheless, the brunette avoided it by dropping her head to the side.

Quickly drawing her dagger, Megan sliced upwards and deflected a second projectile before clashing her blade against Balthazar's hand, which had turned into sharp claws that were as tough as metal.

The pair exchanged blows for a few seconds without any of them landing a significant attack, and when Megan took a step back to regain her footing, the two younger vampires appeared from their hiding spots.

As Ezekiel and Madeline lunged at Megan, she ducked Ezekiel's attack first and waved her hand to the side, producing an umbral slash that traveled straight toward Madeline.

Ezekiel landed on the other side after missing his attack, while Madeline stopped moving and held her shoulder in pain as the slash managed to land.

'This won't be easy…' Megan thought, noting that the dark-skinned man was much more powerful than what he had shown her.

The two vampire sentinels were annoying, but she could keep up with their movements. However, if they kept attacking at the same time as the elder vampire, Megan would be in a real pinch.

The teenagers kept desperately tugging their ropes as Megan and Balthazar moved around the warehouse, relentlessly attacking each other to no avail.

Tommy noticed that Megan wasn't using all of her strength since he had seen her fight the demons and knew she could use more destructive abilities.

'Are these two holding back so they don't hurt us by mistake!?' Tommy pondered.

While the redhead teenager didn't know the extent of Balthazar's powers, he knew that he was definitely holding back, as he could keep up with Megan's speed, making him wonder why their kidnappers were being considerate of them.

"Sis, that man has the other soul shards!" Jake exclaimed, still struggling to get out of his binds.

Focusing her sharp eyes on Balthazar's lower pocket in his jacket, Megan sensed a small fluctuation of energy coming from it, rushing for an attack and targeting the vampire's pocket.

Balthazar scratched Megan's cheek, drawing a small drop of blood. However, it was a small price to pay for the brunette to make one of the shards fall on the ground.

Right as it shattered, the shadows appeared and swirled momentarily before dissipating, showing a confused Zac standing in the center.

Fortunately, the redhead managed to reach his baseball bat before getting teleported to the warehouse, so he felt a bit safer with his weapon.

"Not bad… You targeted the shards so you could get reinforcements," Balthazar said.

"Who is this guy? And why does he look so cool?" Zac asked.

"It's the vampire that picked up Irina when we released her," Megan replied.

"Really? I thought they would leave us alone…" Zac continued, clenching his bat.

"I do appreciate you sparing my little sister, but I still have a job to do… It isn't personal," Balthazar said.

"Okay, well… I might break open your skulls with my weapon, but it isn't personal!" Zac replied with a slightly sarcastic tone.

In the blink of an eye, Zac moved to the side and avoided an attack by the vampire sentinels, who started to pursue him around the warehouse frantically.

Meanwhile, Megan and Balthazar placed their focus on each other, releasing a barrage of slices and stabs that kept getting deflected and avoided by the two of them.

When Zac landed with his feet on the wall, he used it to propel himself forward, hitting Ezekiel in the stomach and flinging him all the way to the other side of the warehouse, producing a cloud of dirt at the point of impact.

Madeline used that opportunity to claw Zac's back, believing that the berserker would go down from the attack.

Nonetheless, it backfired on her, as Zac quickly turned around, enduring the pain, and slammed the baseball bat on her ribs, sending the vampire woman crashing against the main entrance out of the warehouse.

Madeline held her ribs as she slowly stood up, pulling out a small gemstone from her pocket.

'I guess Mother was right…' Madeline thought, infusing mana into the gemstones.
