Mahou Project!!

Ken Mercer is having a struggle against the demon vampire.

In retaliation, he headbutted Vlad, causing the demon-vampire to shriek in pain as he releases his grip from the Blood katana that is currently being impaled at Ken's gut.

The Magus of Infinity immediately pulled out the weapon and discarded it. Then, the weapon dissolved into a pile of blood at the ground.

Vlad shook the pain in his head and recovered from being disoriented.

"You are bleeding Mercer. If you really became a Vampire, then regenerate you pathetic fool." Vlad smirked mockingly and crossed his arms in arrogance.

And regenerate Ken did so as the flesh started to reform on the once gaping hole in his stomach.

"Heh, so I really did become a Vampire. It seems that my magic is not only limited to any mere imitation of spells but also the racial attributes and perks being associated with the magic I copied." Ken muttered to himself, amazed by his capabilities as he rubbed his stomach.

"I admit you are no ordinary mortal. You have provided me with entertainment for the past hundred years!!" Vlad started to laugh maniacally and then he eyed Ken mischievously. "As a reward, let me show you something great!!" Ken eyed the Demon-Vampire as the latter undergoes drastic physical changes.

Vlad shape-shifted into a being of hideous form. His body begun to grow, being more muscular and his skin turned pale gray. Gargoyle-like wings sprout from his back and claws formed in his fingers. The handsome face of the Demon-Vampire altered, assuming a monstrous state with red slitted eyes and fangs becoming prominent.

"It has been long since I assumed this form. When a vampire successfully becomes one with the Beast inside him, then only can he transform into a superior being of the night. Feast your eyes on the Vampire's true power, the Arch-Vampire form!!" Vlad spoke with pride.

It took Ken a significant amount of effort just to keep himself standing, slightly being overwhelmed by the sheer pressure that the newly transformed Demon-Vampire has been emitting.

With speed beyond measure, Vlad closed in at Ken in an instant, the latter failing to react on time at how ridiculously fast the former is.

Ken blocked the attack with his crimson sword, but Vlad proved to become even stronger as Ken was sent rocketing a few feet away.

"Damn it. Not only he became faster but a whole lot stronger too. It seems that I can't win this without resorting to some tricks." Ken gritted as he was seen leaning against a destroyed tree.

Out of nowhere, he then heard a whisper.

'Pathetic, is my host truly that weak of a magus?' A voice of a child was heard and Ken reacted as he looked around for the source.

'Idiot, I'm speaking from your mind.' The voice said with a ridiculing tone and inside Ken's mindscape, the blonde girl inside finally revealed herself with a pompous grin.

"Who are you kid?" Ken asked, the magus drawn inside the void that is now his mind.

The girl twitches in annoyance.

"I'm no child fool!! I have lived long ever since this world's first baby steps." The girl stomped her foot in indignation but then she shook her head and turned serious as fitted in the current situation.

'Anyways, now is not the right time for small talk child. You've got pressing matters to attend to. Our magic as you rightfully deduced is not just only mere imitation. It also allows you to assume the race of the user's racial or bloodline magic that you have copied. I sense the Dragon, Vampire, and Lich deep within you.' The girl inside chuckled and put her hands on her h.i.p.s.

"The Dragon and Vampire I know but Lich? I'm not sure where I got that." Ken raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Most likely from this Frost Release of yours." The girl answered and added "The only way to defeat that Vampire is for you to be on even terms with him. Since you are a Vampire, then you too wield the same ability perhaps even greater."

"Greater?" Ken asked.

The girl pouted childishly "Sheesh!! Do I have to spoon-feed you all the time!? Three words mortal..."

The girl made a finger gesture that means three as she utters the words-

"DRA-GO-NUS."

Ken repeated her words "Dragonus. Hmm, I suppose I can assume a Dragon-humanoid state like what Princess did but how about this Arch-Vampire form of Vlad?"

Then his eyes widen in realization and this was not gone unnoticed by the girl who nodded with satisfaction.

"I see. Will that really work? This can indeed bring a new branch of magic. It will truly be an innovation!!" Ken grinned at the prospect.

"Well we wouldn't know until you try, right?"

The Circle witnessed the whole scene in visible confusion and fear as Miabi laughed madly.

"Hahahahaha!!!! Behold the Arch-Vampire. Witness as that foolish master of yours groveling in his demise!!!"

Anna gritted her teeth in rage as she gave a feral shriek at the Warlock.

Peter who now holds an unconscious Minato merely smiled in response much to their confusion.

"Nah, I believe in Kennie. After all, he has done the impossible before so why not now?"

And at this very moment from a distance, a bright light engulfed a good portion of the battlefield, as all of their eyes closed involuntarily at the sheer brightness of it.

"W-what is this!!??" Miabi cursed under her breath.

As the light dissipated, we find a winged, Draconian like figure who was seen in the night sky.

***

Ken Mercer was amazed by the huge amount of power being radiated inside his body.

His appearance, no longer human but something more.

With the power of the Dragon, Lich and the newly acquired Vampirism, he has ascended into a being of endless possibilities.

His uniform no more as his body mass attained a greater boost of bulk, resembling that of a beast as his skin turned black as ebony. Scales formed in his aspect, signifying the Draconian part in him along with a tail of similar characteristics.

Heterochromia slitted eyes are present in his Draconian face, sporting the blood crimson on the right and the sickly Undead violet on the left. His wings, a mixture of Gargoyle and Dragon was revealed in all its rightful glory.

He has truly become the ultimate life form, a species that has to mark the true meaning of Evolution and Power.

"W-what are you!!!??" Vlad demanded as he shouted from below.

Ken merely eyed his new form, moving his claws and basking at his newfound power.

"Magic fused to form into a potential like any other. Very well, I'll call this one-"

With Dragonfire on his right hand and Blood Magic on the left, Ken pressed the two magic forcefully at each other, forming an orb of pure Crimson Dark Energy.

"Magic Synthesis."
