The cloud-like curtain shook violently, as if a tornado was wrapped in white silk gauze, rapidly approaching Horn.
Horn stepped back with his right foot, one hand holding the scabbard and the other the hilt, raising Blood Covering Cloud just as the brass claw extended toward him.
The contact of the brass and iron claw with the scabbard produced a crisp buzzing sound.
But Horn was no longer who he used to be. In the past few months, he had fought countless battles and quickly regained his composure after a moment of panic.
Releasing the scabbard, he directly drew Blood Covering Cloud, while delivering a direct kick to the humanoid creature.
The bald "vampire" reacted swiftly, dodging to the side just in time to narrowly avoid the red glow of Blood Covering Cloud.
Even though it wasn't struck by Blood Covering Cloud, it covered the spot where the red glow hit as it retreated repeatedly.
