@Ross: I use 10
![Darkness :darkness](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/darkness18x18.png)
to buy 2 Parasite, 1 Minor Vampire, and a bottle of Liquid Shadow. I take the random free Darkness card, and ask if he has anything else.
Note: This all happened BEFORE I decided to follow Heimdall and Xanriel. Right now I am behind them, hidden in my Dark Shroud.
Jonathan watched as the ulitharid and the angel was attacked by five Ash Eaters. The angel seemed to have used some sort of Life magic on himself, increasing his powers tenfold; Jonathan would have to enter his true demonic form if he was to fight the angel. But again, he had no intention of fighting such an unique and unusual creature.
Jonathan's red eyes widened as he saw the ulitharid launching a bolt of psychic force at one of the Ash Eaters, and immediately crippling the other four with mind flaying and psionic waves. "Whoa, he sure was fast," Jonathan thought. He had to admit that he was impressed with the ulitharid's skills and speed.
Without a doubt, Jonathan knew that the five Ash Eaters would be no match for the angel and the ulitharid, and there was no need for him to intervene. However, Jonathan hadn't been feeding on fresh blood for a couple of days now; although he did not need blood to survive, it always helped to have some blood inside him.
Drawing his black vampiric blade from its sheath, Jonathan lunged at one of the Ash Eaters. Swift as a shadow, Jonathan buried the blade deeply into its neck, where its tender flesh was unprotected by its shell; Jonathan felt the burning blood of the creature, rich with Fire quanta, seep into his blade and then into himself. Still not fully sated, Jonathan sent flying a blood-red stream of energy from his left hand into another Ash Eater that was writhing on the ground, draining its life force away from its body and into himself.
Finally satisfied, Jonathan pulled his blade away from the Ash Eater's lifeless body. A few red sigils were now faintly glowing on the pitch-black blade, and on his cloak.
Turning to the angel and ulitharid, Jonathan said: "My name is Jonathan Haemos Shade, and I mean no harm."
@Ross: I should at least be strong enough to kill an Ash Eater in a single blow, right? I'll kill myself if I can't deal even 1 damage in one attack.
