The angrier one was, the harder it was to control one's power and choices. This was especially true for one whose anger had reached the limit; their judgment would be completely clouded by rage.

People under such a state were predictable, making them easier to deal with.

However, there also existed a special state of mind within that rageful state called Tranquil Fury. It allowed the being to have full control despite angry beyond belief.

Such a special state of mind, which combined the advantages of anger and calmness, would make a person even stronger than their usual peak combat effectiveness.

Vaan didn't expect the Vampire Lord to enter such a supernatural state after being angered by him.

It completely nulled his previous efforts.

After the Eighth Progenitor entered [Tranquil Fury], he did not rush to attack Vaan again. Instead, he dusted his messy black and white suit and cleaned up his appearance.

Only after the Eighth Progenitor found himself presentable did he give Vaan his attention.

"I must admit, your decisiveness and intelligence are commendable if nothing else, Human. You knew we vampires of high rank greatly value our pride and honor and made use of it. Because of this weakness, I've eaten a few losses," the Eighth Progenitor calmly commented.

But then, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he added, "However, that is as far as you go. You are, after all, just a mere Demigod. The disgrace and shame you have inflicted upon this Lord, I will repay them a hundredfold!"

"Less nonsense. Just make your move, Vampire," Vaan cooly stated, welcoming the Eighth Progenitor with a taunting gesture.

The Eighth Progenitor's gaze immediately gleamed with a dangerous light.

In the next instant, he transformed into another shadowy group of several hundred black bats and flew towards Vaan. Although their speed wasn't as fast as before, it wasn't slow either. In fact, it was still fast.

However, Vaan could tell it was the Eighth Progenitor's manageable speed. Such a speed would allow him to make abrupt maneuvers in response to sudden situations.

To confirm his guess, Vaan summoned a spatial portal right before the black bat group's flight path.

Swish!

The black bat groups instantly redirected their flight path, splitting off into four smaller groups as they flew around the newly appeared spatial portal. Moments later, they regrouped and traveled as one.

'Sure enough… Then, how about this?' Vaan's gaze flickered.

After closing the last spatial portal, he waved his hand, creating another five spatial portals in a two-layer formation – one in front and the other four slightly behind at different angles.

Swish!

The Eighth Progenitor's black bat group immediately split into four smaller groups again to evade the first spatial portal. They also narrowly escaped the four subsequent spatial portals in their anticipated evasion paths by splitting into even smaller groups.

'Ha, I knew you would be able to summon more than one portal! But even if I did fall into it, do you think I would still hurt myself like before?' the Eighth Progenitor snickered in his mind as he almost reached Vaan.

However, what greeted him was a dozen more layers of spatial portals, each facing weird directions as if they were anticipating several steps ahead of the Eighth Progenitor.

The Eighth Progenitor almost fainted from anger.

The more his group of black bats branched out into smaller groups, the more difficult it was to control them all with his mind. However, the Eight Progenitor had no choice but to continue branching to evade all the spatial portals.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it.

Vaan's dozen layers of spatial portals weren't stationary. He controlled them all with precise calculations of the Eighth Progenitor's flight paths, trapping all his bats like casting out a net before roping them in.

In an instant, the Eighth Progenitor found himself trapped within an ever-changing maze formation of spatial portals. Furthermore, none of these spatial portals' destinations seemed to be the same as the previous ones.

The Eighth Progenitor could feel a strong sense of threat from each of them as if something dangerous was awaiting him on the other side. As such, he didn't dare to enter them and evaded them with all his effort.

At the same time, Vaan studied the Eighth Progenitor's shadow bat movement.

He discovered that even if the Eighth Progenitor transformed into hundreds of bats, he only had one main consciousness in control of them all. Thus, the more division in the groups of bats, the more division in the Eighth Progenitor's focus.

Under the intense game of cat-and-mouth between Vaan's spatial portals and the Eighth Progenitor's bat forms, the latter failed to keep up with Vaan's forceful division of them.

The Eighth Progenitor eventually lost control of a major part of the collective group, causing numerous small groups of bats to fly mindlessly into Vaan's spatial portals.

His connection to them was instantly cut off.

But at the same time, the significant decrease in connections to the bats also greatly restored his focus.

The Eighth Progenitor immediately saw an opening in the maze formation of spatial portals. He quickly charged through the opening with his remaining bat groups.

Only after breaking out of the spatial formation did the Eighth Progenitor's bats regroup to re-materialize his true form and appear before Vaan.

"I've finally caught you now, Human!" the Eighth Progenitor smiled victoriously.

He was still ten meters away from Vaan. But he didn't believe Vaan could escape from him within this distance, even if he could skillfully wield his spatial abilities.

However, his smile slowly disappeared as he felt something slightly wrong with his field of vision.

When did the human become so big?

Clap, clap, clap…

Vaan clapped as he calmly applauded the Eighth Progenitor, who had been reduced to a third of his original body mass. The rest of the latter's body was still stuck in their bat form, mindlessly roaming a small subspace.

"Good job. Do you want a pat on the back for that, Little Vampire?" Vaan asked intriguingly.

He had only abducted the Eighth Progenitor's body-

transformed bats out of curiosity for the consequences. But the result proved to be far more amusing than he anticipated.

"Y-You! Damn, Human! What the hell have you done to this Lord's noble body?!" the Eighth Progenitor shrieked after realizing his small figure.

Even his refined voice seemed to have turned childish.

The Eighth Progenitor wanted to puke blood in anger. He had greatly underestimated this human. In fact, this human was far more horrifying than he could imagine.

The human's control of space was especially disgusting.
