Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 162 - Merlin Enters The Battle!

-----

Noah felt his entire soul beginning to dissipate through the powerful holy light explosion that impacted him!

He felt every inch of his ethereal existence beginning to dissipate!

His memories, emotions, everything… began to fragment into pieces and disappear into nothingness!

BOOM!

Suddenly, the Lady of the Lake began to gasp for air, although she did not need to actually breathe, she felt incredibly weakened now, the damage that Noah did on her entire soul was immense, and she had spent a large quantity of her soul mass to unleash all those attacks.

She rested over the lake's water, sighing in relief.

"H-He's gone…" she sighed, feeling a bit relieved and now leaving for Merlin the rest in the outside world.

The Lady of the Lake began to glance at her holy body, which was completely tainted with crimson red and black energies, seeping into her soul.

Feeling pained and weakened, she began to slowly purify them.

"Nngh… So stubborn…" she muttered, barely using her power and trying to suppress the miasma.

However.

"You are indeed quite strong, you almost got me there…"

"Eh?"

The Lady of the Lake suddenly became paralyzed.

No matter how much she will put into her own soul, it didn't move as she wanted…

And just before that, she had clearly heard the voice of the man she thought had finally died.

But how could it be possible? She saw his soul being dissipated completely into nothingness.

This was… utterly ridiculous!

How could he still be alive?!

No, this was indeed impossible!

She saw his soul!

She saw his soul being destroyed into nothing!

And then she realized something.

The voice of the man did not come from her surroundings.

It came from within her very mind.

From the inside of her head.

No, of her soul.

"W-What…?"

The Lady of the Lake slowly muttered a single word, as she glanced at all the dots of black ooze and crimson red liquid beginning to merge more and more with her holy soul.

"That was really quite the gamble, but it seems to have worked. Oh, surprised?" asked Noah's voice, startling the woman even more.

"W-What did you do?! You filthy… parasite!" cried the Lady of the Lake, trying to put some resistance to whatever was trying to take over her entire soul!

"Quite simple. All of my attacks were always parts of my very soul. Did you think I was somehow able to conjure poison here? Or blood? It was all tiny pieces of my very existence, foolish woman…" said Noah, as the ooze and red liquids began to merge more and more within the Lady of the Lake's Holy Soul, devouring her from the inside out!

And then, she finally… comprehended that she had been dancing in the palm of Noah way before!

Since he began to deal damage to her soul that he began to seep fragments of his soul into her soul!

She thought that it was miasma… but this was not miasma, this was him!

It was him!

Hundreds, no, thousands of pieces of Noah's soul, each one was him!

She began to despair.

"N-No… This… can't be…" she groaned, feeling the pain of having her soul being slowly devoured!

"What you destroyed was but a piece of my soul, every single piece I released was me. As long as one remains, I am still alive," said Noah viciously, as enormous black claws emerged out the Lady of the Lake's very soul, grasping her neck!

"Nnnggaaggh…! Nnaaaaagghhh…!"

Although she did not need to breathe, the claws of darkness began to squeeze her very soul, making the sharp pain of her death even more terrible.

The Lady of the Lake's eyes began to fill themselves with complete despair, she was not even able to fight back against this vicious Vampire!

"Nnngh…! Arthur… King… Arthur…! Get… away from me! Nooo…! NO! NOOO! NNNNGGGGYAAAAAAHHH…!"

As the Lady of the Lake screamed in utmost agony, Noah smiled devilishly, laughing like a complete maniac!

"Ahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAH! I told you that you would become my snack, didn't I?! Now perish, and disappear from this world, you filthy whore!" roared Noah, as he took over the Lady of the Lake's soul completely, devouring it all and assimilating it as his very soul!

Crack, crack…!

Suddenly, the entire Divine Realm began to be fragmented, as Noah devour it too!

He began to expand like a monstrous mass of darkness and crimson red, absorbing and devouring everything!

"Iris, wait for me!" said Noah, as he consumed the entire Divine Realm, bit by bit, so he could finally take over Excalibur and then return to his body!

Meanwhile, within the outside world, the barrier created by everyone was about to shatter, and they were barely giving any energy to Noah now, as they were too focused on defending!

If they dared to go out and fight, they would be showered in powerful spells that existed outside of the System, and the endurance gained through Stats or Skills would not be as effective.

Everyone knew that if they stepped outside while being as weakened as they were, they would be blown away into pieces!

Merlin laughed devilishly as he kept showering everyone with his powerful spells, it was as if he had infinite mana or something!

This was the mana he had been accumulating through all this time, as a Level VI Magician, his mana pool was immense, to begin with!

Even though these artifacts all consumed ridiculous quantities of mana, he had more than enough to spare!

Although he felt like if he continued for a bit longer, he would also become weakened, he was confident that the barrier would break in a couple of minutes!

"You foolish demons, there is the only demise for those that try to oppose the Legendary Magician, the Guider of King Arthur! Know your place, trash!" laughed Merlin, filled with pride as he was now finally able to unleash his true might!

Iris and everyone else glanced at Noah's sleeping face with concern, all of them were putting their soul into the weapon to help him as much as they could!

"Nngh… We can't last much longer…!" said Arthur.

"Wait… we are forgetting someone!" said Timassa.

All the vampires suddenly realized that someone else was coming here, as they felt their strong presence!

Suddenly, an army of robots ran through the stairs behind Merlin, pointing their high-tech weapons towards him!

"W-What?!" asked Merlin in complete disbelief, as he was caught off guard, being too concentrated on decimating the barrier of the Vampires to realize that this stealthy army of Robots was marching towards him!

They were led by three beautiful Fembots, Sakura, Sugar, and Noire!

Noire glanced at Merlin with scorn, she had made it right in time!

"We knew that something was odd and we rushed back from the Dungeons, so this was it!" said Sakura.

"Everyone… FIRE!" roared Noire, as her entire body was covered in cannons of magic, firing countless missiles against Merlin!

Alongside her, Sakura, Sugar, and the dozen of other robots that Noah had sheltered days ago began to shower Merlin with high-tech magic bullets!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Nnggrraaaaaagghh!"

Merlin's entire artifact body began to break apart into pieces, as the powerful blows of Noire, Sakura, and Sugar which were charged with their elemental affinities impacted the hardest, cracking his entire armor, and shattering his staff!

"This… accursed Machinery!" roared Merlin.
