Ed's longsword, like a cold, venomous snake, had already completely locked onto the vampire's figure.
Before the vampire could even retreat, a golden flash of light appeared before everyone's eyes.
Then came the vampire's shrill scream as his arm fell to the ground, followed by the sound of blood flowing.
