He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

The difference between the two is obvious in the details.

Even so, Vlad III remained as calm as a mountain, showing no sign of wavering in the face of victory.

Is this all you're capable of?

At this moment, Dracula said with a smile, his expression and tone full of sarcasm.

Vlad III remained unmoved and thrust his spear forward.

Dracula casually deflected the attack with his sword and continued to laugh, "You want to kill all the vampires in the world to change people's perception of Dracula and thus change the legend that you are mistaken for a vampire... I don't know what your world is like, but in this world, it's absolutely impossible."

Ok?

Vlad III paused slightly, then swept through the enemy ranks, forcing Dracula back, and looked up to ask, "Why?"

"Because you can never defeat Dracula!"

"Ah!"

Vlad III couldn't help but sneer.

"I thought you would say something amazing, but it turns out you just have blind self-confidence."

"This isn't blind self-confidence, it's about Dracula," Dracula said in a way that was incomprehensible to everyone.

Vlad III paused for a moment, then dismissed the thought and said, "Are you trying to use words to sway my resolve, having exhausted all other means?"

"...If that's what you think, then so be it!"

“If this is all you’ve got, then the legend of Dracula will end today!” Vlad III said, unleashing a burst of fierce magical power.

He explained, “Heroic Spirits are different from normal humans or creatures. Our true forms remain on the Throne of Heroes. What comes to the human world are spirits made of magic, whose strength is far less than one ten-thousandth of our true forms. But if the magic is sufficient, even an avatar can become powerful enough.”

“That’s true, but if you can increase your magic power without limit, then there’s no need to create clones weaker than your originals. Wouldn’t it be better to just create one that’s just as strong?” Dracula said, looking at Vlad III, whose aura was rising steadily.

"Of course not!"

Vlad III admitted, "In fact, we Heroic Spirits do not possess magic power ourselves; we must rely on contracts with other beings to obtain magical support. Of course, there are other ways to acquire magic power."

Dracula stared into Vlad III's eyes, seemingly understanding something, and slowly exhaled, "...Sacrifice!"

In Marvel, magic refers to the use of certain specific or peripheral energies whose nature is beyond the scientific scope of all known science-oriented intelligent races.

There are five sources of this energy.

The first is magic that utilizes one's own spiritual power, which is mostly manifested in the medium's eyes, soul magic, mind control, and mental manipulation.

Second, it comes from the life force of living organisms.

For example, the Qi of Kunlun.

Third, utilize the energy of the surrounding environment.

The Marvel universe is not limited to other dimensions; every living being in reality is surrounded by various energies.

A skilled mage can use these powerful energies to perform magic, the most typical example being the shaping magic of Kamar-Taj.

However, the energy existing in the environment is very unstable and may disappear at any time.

Therefore, the magical effects cast using this energy cannot be maintained for long periods of time.

Fourth, it utilizes the special energy of different latitudes.

Highly experienced mages are often able to communicate with powerful, mysterious beings residing in other dimensions and request their assistance.

For example, the Crimson Chains, the Wind of Vatum, and the Form of Ekorn used by Doctor Strange in Avengers: Infinity War were powers borrowed from the dimensions of the three gods Cyttorak, Vatum, and Ekorn.

There is another type that can be categorized as a fourth type, but is different: "Sorcery".

This is a gift from an evil god.

It is the power of the evil god that is given to others and used by them.

The most typical example is the Dark Book.

Because it borrows the power of the evil god itself rather than the energy of the dimension in which the evil god resides, it is slightly different from the fourth type, but it can still be categorized as one.

Then came the sacrifice.

This is a type of magic that obtains special energy by sacrificing a life.

The human spirit and life possess magic.

Therefore, sacrificing it can also be used to perform magic, making it an evil ritual.

"...That's right?"

Vlad III smiled. "Although I think your concept of sacrifice is different from mine, they should mean the same thing. The lives of those five vampires last night were equivalent to those of tens of thousands of ordinary people."

"But didn't you kill them all?"

Dracula frowned.

"We stood under a hail of bullets..."

Vlad III laughed, “This painting, born from my legend, possesses mystery and incredible power. The viewers are the prayers, and those hanging from the hail of bullets are the sacrifices… The sacrifice is complete when they are killed. I was just being cautious, wanting to probe your hand before catching you off guard.”

I never expected your skill level to be this low!

The moment the words fell, a vast magical power spread out, blasting a huge crater beneath their feet like a Saiyan exploding with energy.

"Dracula, today you will perish here!"

P.S.: I'm not exaggerating when I say there are many types of magic.

Many people think that Marvel magic involves borrowing money from gods in other dimensions, but that's not actually the case. You can use magic even without borrowing from gods in other dimensions.

The advanced magic of lending is so sophisticated that ordinary mages simply do not know it. Only those who have reached a certain level and can communicate with gods from other dimensions can obtain loans.

Finally, I'll continue updating after this break.

I've been a salted fish for too long, and I'm starting to feel a bit out of sorts.

Chapter 220 The Cycle of Life and Death

The strength of a Type-Moon Servant depends on many factors, but the most important factor is the Master's magical power.

For example, King Arthur.

As a workhorse in the Holy Grail War, he appeared in the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars as well as in different versions. Each time, the Master was different, and his strength and performance varied greatly.

The weakest is naturally Shirou's Servant, who battles Hercules in the graveyard, destroying flowers and plants; the strongest is naturally Sakura's corrupted state, where she uses the Curry Cannon as a minor skill with devastating power.

It can be said that the strength of magic determines the fundamental power of a Servant.

At this moment, Vlad III's magic was so powerful that even a small amount of magic overflowed, yet it caused the same destruction as before.

His power at this moment is visible to the naked eye.

Even Dracula had to admit that this was far beyond his own abilities.

However, Dracula remained calm.

He smiled calmly and said, "Generally speaking, mages cast spells directly through sacrifice. This is the first time I've seen someone store and use the energy obtained from sacrificing a life, like you have."

After all, this is a one-time use item.

After sacrificing a life, one will receive a portion of that life's energy.

But this energy is like a rootless duckweed.

Once it's used up, that's it.

To obtain more, one must make another sacrifice.

Therefore, most mages, even dark wizards, do not use this extremely inconvenient method of casting spells. They only do so when they need to use large-scale magic or rituals that require a lot of special energy.

Vlad III naturally understood Dracula's implication and confidently declared, "I have enough magic to kill you before I run out!"

"is it?"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Dracula was not afraid at all, and was equally confident.

Seeing this, Vlad III said no more, raised his spear and pointed it, the spear's light breaking through the air currents like a giant dragon pouncing.

Before Dracula could react, he was sent flying, crashing through five or six houses along the way.

Just as he was about to crash into the seventh building, Dracula prepared to transform his own substance into blood to dissipate the force.

Unexpectedly, a dense barrage of stakes rained down upon them.

Puff puff……

Piles were embedded all over his body, and the pain made it difficult for him to change his state. He was dragged through several houses and then nailed hard to the other side of the city wall.

"So fast!"

Dracula's eyes widened in disbelief.

The next second, a dense array of stakes erupted from his body, like an open sea urchin.

"If you get hit by a stake, more stakes will spring up from your body?" Dracula looked down at the stakes bursting forth from his body and couldn't help but laugh. "This kind of move would be a one-hit kill against humans. But unfortunately for you, your opponent right now is me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a sky full of blood bats and flew into the sky. Then, he reassembled into human form not far away, looking disdainful. "They're just stakes that burst outward from the heart. Nothing special."

Dracula, the King of Vampires.

Even if his head were filled with holy silver and his heart was pierced by a cross, he wouldn't die, let alone a move that thrusts outwards with his heart as the core.

Does absolute immortality truly exist in this world?

Vlad III's voice followed immediately, but even faster was the long spear that was drawn horizontally, its magical power terrifying enough to destroy a mountain.

boom!

Dracula's head shattered like a watermelon.

But the next second, the splattered blood and debris returned as if time had reversed.

"Naturally, it doesn't exist!"
