"Why don't you play with me, instead?" says Vincent.

He grins menacingly as they cross their blades.

"Interesting," hisses the vampire. "You are faster than I thought. I never thought that any hunter could surpass the speed of this incarnation."

"Incarnation?" he says. "You can't really be -"

Suddenly, the vampire backs away. After giving them both a mocking bow, he lowers his crimson blood sword lazily. He starts laughing at them, his eerie voice echoing along the cavern.

"Surprised? You foolish Church dogs never learn. You can never kill me. I have already surpassed that limitation. Your efforts are futile."

"The Serpent," whispers Vincent.

This is really dangerous. He didn't expect to encounter someone like him. He quickly turns to Chen.

"I need you to get some distance," he says.

"W-what? But we have him cornered!" argues the girl.

"Already preparing to run?" comments the Serpent. "I expected more from well-trained dogs like you..."

Vincent turns back to the vampire. Then, he smiles.

"Chen," he says. "Up to how far can you hit a moving target in the dark?"

For a moment, the girl gives him a confused look. Then, her eyes light up. She gives him a quick nod before disappearing into the darkness behind him.

"Buying time from your little girlfriend?" says the vampire.

"Nope," replies Vincent. "Don't misunderstand this, Serpent."

He raises his blade and points it at the vampire.

"We may not have the tools to finish you permanently," he says. "But you are most certainly going to die this day. I promise you that."

...

Several minutes later, after a long and arduous battle, they finally push the Serpent into a corner. Each time the vampire would avoid Chen's arrows, Vincent would slice him. Each time the Serpent would dodge his sword strikes, Chen would hit from afar. Working together, they attack until the vampire can no longer move.

"H-how can this be happening!" cries the Serpent.

The vampire collapses down on his knees. Both of his arms have been sliced off, and his chest and legs are riddled with arrows. His crystallized blood sword lies shattered on the ground.

"You have already lost," says Vincent.

"L-lost?" says the vampire. "Hah! I already found what I was searching for! This mediocre body is no longer any use to me. It is you who have lost the game."

"Captain," whispers Chen. "Let's finish this and return. Headquarters will need a detailed report on this incident."

She raises her crossbow and aims it straight at the Serpent's head. The vampire only smiles wider at this gesture. Noticing this, Vincent gently puts a hand upon the girl's shoulder.

"Not yet," he says.
