The moment he looked up at the sky, just after his first pentagram completed its transformation to the indigo grade, Vicente felt himself under the eyes of a crowd.
The destroyed place, seemingly devoid of living beings, suddenly became a widely observed place, with several frightening auras nearby.
Vicente couldn't see anyone in particular. But the shapes of the clouds, the way the golden rays of light hit his face, were more than enough for him to be sure that something was trying to communicate with him.
In that moment, when time seemed to stand still for him, he felt a strange connection to something far away, something that was suppressing him and trying to expel him to that distant place that was connected to him.
'Is this the Supreme Continent?' he asked himself as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He tried to fight the sensation that enveloped him, but soon gave up. This was a force so superior to his own that he felt forced to give up a moment later.
As he relaxed his muscles and closed his eyes, regretting the way things were, the wind suddenly blew against him and he opened his eyes wide.
'Do I have time to continue on the continent until all of my pentagrams have evolved into the indigo grade?' His eyes fluttered at the sudden realization.
No one spoke to him, but the wind that had just ruffled his black hair seemed to carry these words with it.
Or was it Vicente's understanding of the world interpreting the invisible and inaudible signals for him?
Despite this, once he realized he had enough time left, Vicente felt the effects on him decrease sufficiently for him to regain his mobility.
He immediately looked in Lauren's direction and moved, using his magnetic powers to bring his sister with him.
"Let's kill Demien!" He said to her in a nervous tone, flying so fast that she could barely see the surroundings they passed.
"Vicente, what happened? Didn't you say that you would be expelled when you reached the indigo grade?" She asked.
But before he could answer, one pentagram of his throne appeared, cracking, and then sucking the mana from the surroundings. Vicente and Lauren watched this happen quickly, in just under a minute, with this essence making its full evolution to indigo grade!
Vicente turned pale as he watched it. His time in Polaris Realm was running out, and he couldn't extend it!
He said to her, "As you've just seen, my pentagrams are sucking in mana from the environment and will evolve over the next few minutes. When my pentagrams of the first magical form reach the indigo grade, I will be expelled from the continent."
"What?" She opened her mouth in shock, losing the hope she had harbored for a few seconds after he had evolved and not been expelled from the continent.
"I don't know how this works, either. But I have to make sure Demien dies so you can absorb his blood. Otherwise..." He shook his head negatively, not wanting to say what would happen if he failed in his last mission on the continent.
Fortunately, after evolving two of his pentagrams to the indigo grade, his mana had increased by over 50%, his exhaustion from the previous battle was gone, and all his senses were sharper.
With an even more refined elemental affinity for the elements of the Dark Path, Vicente could sense all negative creatures within a radius of up to 20 kilometers.
Add to that his current speed, so fast that even Lauren, who had been able to at least follow his movements, could no longer comprehend his speed, seeing only a blur in Vicente's actions.
In less than five minutes, before another of his pentagrams threatened to evolve into the Indigo grade, Vicente spotted Demien flying north.
Demien looked in Vicente's direction and turned even paler, cursing the heavens for having found him.
This vampire was very sensitive and intelligent. The moment he saw Vicente, he realized that something wasn't right.
'It can't be!' He opened his mouth while his eyes trembled.
Vicente let go of Lauren and summoned his latest pentagram from the throne, making the Throne of Light appear as a golden sword condensed in his hands.
"Demien Bloodthorne, this is the end for you!" Vicente announced loudly as golden rays of light struck the vampire's body, making him suffer as his negative elements burned with the light.
Light and Dark were opposites, enemies, and each other's nemesis. All it took was for one side to have more mana or elemental quality, to be able to act against the other and destroy it.
With Vicente's increase in quality and Demien's exhaustion, this vampire immediately found himself screaming in terror as he was immobilized and tried to escape.
Vicente appeared behind him like a ghost and spoke his last word to the hideous creature.
"Die!"
With that word, Vicente plunged his sword through Demien's body, from the middle of his back to the middle of his chest, cutting the vampire's heart in half.
But this was no mere physical attack. As the blade of light pierced Demien's body, the vampire felt his soul catch fire, quickly consumed by Vicente's light.
Capable of consuming souls and devouring darkness, Vicente's newest power consumed Demien's soul in a matter of moments, gradually silencing the screams of terror from the strongest vampire in the history of the Polaris Realm.
Demien's last moments were listless, feeling his life being consumed as strong arms prevented him from moving.
With a golden sword embedded in his body, he watched his dream of reaching the indigo grade and becoming a Magus slip terrifyingly away from him as lady death, whom he had introduced to many beings throughout his life, appeared to him.
Lauren witnessed Demien's end as she shed tears. She would soon lose her brother.
As Demien's body fell to the ground, the throne's fourth cyan pentagram, which had the potential to evolve to the indigo grade, appeared, broke, and then demonstrated the same evolution as the pentagram of minutes before.
Vicente felt his powers increase a little more as the call from the Supreme Continent grew stronger.
Fortunately, he had completed his mission and could leave in peace.
Still, he moved while he could still stand. With a flick of his fingers, Demien's corpse fell apart, and every valuable part of the creature's vampire body separated.
He sent half of Demien's blood to Lauren and the other half, along with the creature's organs, to his subordinates.
