One after another, the Totems finished their fights and came over, starting with Priestess Delilah, who transformed into a dark haired human woman in the same red high Priestess Robes that Tessa wore.
Dana frowned at her, while Tessa nodded politely. But the dragon didn't move forward, just waited and watched.
Then the two Demons came to stand with her, and Dana needed answers.
"Is nobody going to help him? Surely, one of you can get close, you're all Totems." She demanded.
"We would if we could. You can try it yourself, we can't get within five paces of them, there is an invisible divine barrier there. The Gods are letting them battle it out on their own terms. The conjured creatures and constructs from his bonded beasts appear to have no issue, but I had to increase my altitude when I came over here, to avoid running into the barrier.
Any spell we cast, like yours, will just get added to the mess." The Priestess explained.
Dana glared at the suspended battle of wills, and Tessa sighed. "If this had happened just a bit earlier, when there was still a battle going on around us, it might have been different. He gets a stacking bonus to damage from the whole group. But right now, there is only one target and the number of attacks that they can use against it is limited. Probably only Karl and Cara, wherever she went, could even stand a chance of doing real damage to that vampire.
But what sort of vampire is that? Ten minutes in [Consecrated Ground] should have killed almost any undead, and she's taking the full force of a Totem Ranked Void blast continually, plus the flames." Tessa pondered.
Priestess Delilah shook her head, not knowing the answer. But Commander Daleth had an idea.

Priestess Delilah shook her head, not knowing the answer. But Commander Daleth had an idea.
"I think that she might be one of the Council of Ancients. There aren't many Totem Ranked Vampires. Those species with Totem Ranked bloodline potential can usually heal from the virus, so they just remain dead instead of turning. That suggests that she might have reached Totem Rank during the last System Resurgence, ten thousand years ago.
At that age, and Totem Ranked, she could be considered virtually immortal. The sun doesn't appear to be harming her at all, though not much light is passing through to them now. Plus, that level of regeneration. Vampires get stronger with age, just like our friend Thor here. Only, where he takes less damage for every day, they regenerate a bit faster every day.
The fact that she is showing damage long enough for us to see it is testament to how much damage is being done, but neither of them should be able to keep this up forever. The rate they're expending energy has to be faster than their regeneration." He explained.

Remi nodded in agreement. {The Karl is drawing from our spaces as he fights. Sister butterfly has insane mana regeneration, and the rest of us are putting at least a little in for him to use, but he's still drawing more than we're putting in. But he's going to run out of body before he runs out of mana.}
Remi wasn't actually concerned that Karl would die. Void Body turned you into black mist when damaged, and she hadn't seen a limit to it yet. So, it was possible it could turn a whole Karl into mist and then let him reform.
