Nomat hasn't realized it yet, but as soon as his heart started beating again, he crossed the line. The invisible boundary he was afraid to cross — the very thing that held back the vampires and prevented them from destroying the entire world.
A living vampire.
In this world, nobody would even pay attention, since vampires live here and their hearts beat.
Nomat came from a world where this was «IMPOSSIBLE». His essence, powers, and even his soul were rejected not only by «God» but also by the «WORLD».
But this «WORLD» accepted him. It sensed Nomat's all-consuming rage and his «DESIRE» to become human.
The «WORLD» was curious. It had seen many uninvited guests but had never paid attention to them. They were empty to it; they lacked the spark to truly «LIVE» in this world.
However, Nomat didn't seek to use the benefits of the «WORLD»; he simply wanted to live in it.
The first time he stepped on the land of this «WORLD», his hidden desire — something he had never voiced — became obvious to the «WORLD».
«I want to live».
The «WORLD» decided to help him in this simple matter that wouldn't affect it itself.
The «WORLD» recognized him as a human.
(This was necessary to explain why Nomat's heart suddenly started beating; the «WORLD» won't participate in the story in the future. Or should I add it to the story? What are your thoughts?)
POV.
The barrage of blows didn't stop, and the speed of the battle increased with every moment.
«THE OBSERVER» felt anxiety. He couldn't explain why he was so afraid of the newly born heartbeat.
He began to exert more effort to erase this creature.
But the more strength he exerted, the more fierce resistance he encountered. For any attempt to strengthen his attacks, he met with a fierce counterattack. The creature wasn't defending itself from his attacks — it was attacking his attacks!
Previously, he could easily anticipate the creature's attacks and respond instantly. But now he couldn't keep up. Or rather, he didn't understand. Who in their right mind would attack a force capable of distorting reality? Of warping the very concept of «reality»?
For the first time in its existence, «THE OBSERVER» began to feel fear.
Fear of the unknown — the same fear its enemies felt when they met it.
For the first time, it thought about escaping. But as soon as it tried to do so, it couldn't. Some force was holding it with a death grip in this world.
What «THE OBSERVER» couldn't know was Amia's interference, which prevented «THE OBSERVER» from even attempting to escape.
What neither of them could know was the interference of the «WORLD» itself, which didn't appreciate the interference with its «reality».
Nomat
Another blow made my bones start to tremble. In addition to the «Magic Berserk» I had to use, I tried to deploy «Storm Magic» due to the increasing pace of the battle.
At first, I failed — the «Chaos Magic» was simply devouring the «Storm Magic». Because of this, I took a desperate step: I used this magic inside myself. It was insane.
Alongside the raging «Chaos Magic» that surrounds me and tries to destroy me every second, I now had «Storm Magic» calmly destroying my body from the inside — and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.
I didn't expect success; this was a last-resort plan. Either I survive or die instantly.
To my surprise, I wasn't torn to pieces right away. Instead, I started to slowly destroy myself from the inside. But to my shock, my regeneration was coping with this abundance of internal injuries.
This allowed me to increase my speed dramatically. Radical? Yes. But I was determined to destroy this creature! And this hatred was so all-consuming that it stifled my instinct of self-preservation in its infancy.
I was literally ready to do whatever it took to destroy him.
Seeing the stalemate, my face twisted into an even more hideous grimace.
«I'm fucking going to annihilate you!»
I started pouring even more «Chaos Magic» into my sword, and as soon as a small crack appeared on it, I hurled it straight at the creature.
The sword met a barrier that shattered into hundreds of fragments. Then the space in front of it began to warp, but the blade passed through it like a knife through butter. Finally, it was met by rhombuses that connected to form arms around the main body.
Meanwhile, I was running after my blade. As soon as the blade met resistance, I hit the hilt of the sword with all the strength available to me — and even more, imbuing it with an extra surge of «Chaos Magic» power.
The sword managed to pierce through those rhombuses and sink into the main body, after which it started glowing due to the colossal amount of «Chaos Magic» inside.
One of the creature's arms grabbed me and threw me with such force that I was split in half — but I didn't even feel the pain. I was enveloped in such intense hatred that everything else was meaningless to me now.
Seeing that my sword was about to explode inside this creature, I wasn't satisfied. I clenched my teeth, and my green eyes turned blood-red.
«Ruthless Attack!» — a lunge imbued with chaos was made. I ignored both its protective barrier, which it wrapped itself in after the attack, and its flesh. I appeared inside it.
I started getting compressed by the pressure of its body, but even before my death, I managed to do what I intended.
«CHAOS RAIN»
In addition to the explosion of the sword that completely enveloped my enemy in chaos, and the rupture of the insides that happened due to the reckless appearance of the Vampire right inside his enemy, and the subsequent explosion because he stopped containing the raging magic that surrounded him…
Right above «THE OBSERVER», balls imbued with «Chaos Magic» started appearing. As a result, «THE OBSERVER's» body was destroyed, leaving not even a single piece behind. Everything was burned under the flames of «Chaos Magic».
Jungle, Nomat's Castle
«Kha! Uh. That was tough. The difficulty level of this world is outrageously high. I hope I won't encounter anything like this again, otherwise I won't be able to leave my castle», — Nomat said, taking a horizontal position in his newly opened coffin. After lying there with a relaxed face for a couple of minutes, he suddenly jumped out of it as if scalded.
«Serdolica! I forgot about her!»
After these words, he immediately threw on the first piece of clothing he could find and rushed towards his battle companion.
