Noctis moved swiftly to capture Odel. The vampire, who was Fiona's right-hand man, apparently had a plan to abduct her. He shot forward, his hand outstretched, ready to seize the girl.
However, Emilio was not about to stand idly by. In an instant, he grabbed a nearby guest chair and hurled it with full force. The chair shattered into pieces as it struck Noctis, yet the vampire did not even flinch.
Emilio growled, standing tall to block Noctis. His eyes gleamed with sharp vigilance.
"You'll have to get through me first if you want to touch Odel," he said coldly.
Noctis smirked. "You think you can stop me?"
Without warning, Noctis disappeared into the shadows, reappearing behind Emilio with claws bared. But Emilio had already anticipated his move. He spun around swiftly and delivered a powerful kick to Noctis's chest, forcing the vampire back several steps.
