205 Chapter 45.2 - Preparations for the Hunt

The moment I knew the enemy I was facing was a vampire, I immediately ordered a bunch of materials to come tomorrow.

However, some of the materials had a longer transfer time; thus, I needed to buy them manually. Though even if Western Uxbridge was mostly an academy city, there were still some gates appearing around the place. Thus, there was a branch of the Hunter Association as well as store streets for Hunters.

I made my way to the Hunter Association's store street first.

'Maybe I am the only one in this world who can efficiently hunt a vampire.'

The game's information system was quite twisted when it came to hunting harder foes. Since the information was limited and closed. However, no matter what type of game it is, there are always people who get overly obsessed with details, and to satisfy such those, the developers always put some pieces of details about the monsters in random places.

And that was also the case for the Vampires. There was one specific Vampire boss in the game that was compulsory to kill, but there were many others on the map that you could kill as a side boss.

However, if they had one specific trait, that would be how hard it was to deal with them, especially if they were higher vampires since those were almost unbeatable, even for high-level players.

After all, they had countless different abilities. They could disassemble their bodies and become formless. They could suck the player's blood to regenerate. They could open a blood realm...They could call familiars or subordinates... They could use materialized blood or even dark magic.....

They could basically do everything. In terms of basic capabilities, a higher vampire was on par with the demon lord itself, basically.

However, of course, encountering a higher vampire was almost impossible right now since there are only two of them left in this world.

At least, that was what the game told us, and I am also betting on that possibility. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

In any case, there is a reason why Vampires are not ruling the demon realm with such distinct powers. It is a fact that they have several more weaknesses compared to a demon.

And that knowledge is well-spread in the demon realm. After all, the current demon lord is the one who killed one of the three remaining higher vampires and captured the throne.

And now, this information is what I am going to use to hunt the vampire. This was one of the deepest information in the game.

'Anti-vampire oil.'

The sunlight illuminated the rows of specialized shops catering to the needs of hunters.

Each establishment held a unique array of items, from enchanted weapons to rare herbs and potions. I wasted no time navigating the labyrinthine streets; my focus was set on acquiring the materials essential for my encounter with the Vampire.

First on my list were herbs with potent magical properties.

Silverleaf Fern

Wraithroot Blossom

Nightshade Essence

These were crucial for creating a concoction that would interfere with the vampire's blood, disrupting its capabilities.

'To create the Grievous Wound effect.'

It was crucially important to disturb the healing as well as the magic of the Vampire, and this potion was just going to do that.

The first material has the properties of Silver, which is one of the biggest counters for Vampires. When Silver is mixed in their blood, it causes a small reaction, making the blood unable to be manipulated.

The second one has the ability to penetrate the mana barriers of monsters. Of course, if used alone, it won't be enough to penetrate vampires, but combined with Silverleaf Fern, it becomes effective against it.

The last Essence is the bridge that mixes the two while preserving their individual qualities.

The weakness of the vampire is how weak they are when their blood is disturbed, and it is not necessarily hard either.

Everything was almost ready. I only needed to wait for the Anti-vampire potion to cool down, and then I would be able to apply it to my weapons.

'Now, one last thing.'

KNOCK!

Just as I thought about that, I heard the knocking voice coming from the door.

"Astron, are you there?"

It was Sylvie.

"Please wait a second."

"Okay."

I didn't want her to see what I was doing inside. After all, I also needed her cooperation with me at this moment.

Releasing a sigh inside, I decided not to waste any more time but also readied myself. I knew what kind of state Sylvie was in, and her mentality was very important to me.

09:07

I quickly went to the small washbasin in the corner and washed my hands, ensuring there was no trace of the concoctions on my skin. Satisfied that I had cleaned up properly, I opened the door.

"Ah..."

She was waiting in front of the door. The bags underneath her eyes and her being out of balance suggested that she was sleepless. The smell of coffee and the lack of focus also showed the effects of the caffeine were slowly wearing down.

Her not being able to sleep was something I had already expected, so I didn't put much thought into it.

"Senior Amelia said you wanted to talk to me. Is there something you need?" She asked, her eyes looking around curiously.

"Yes, that's right. There is something I need for you to do."

"What is it?"

"Let's talk in private. Is it okay if we use your room?" The thing I will request from her mustn't be seen by other people, and it is really important. But, since we can't use my room, using hers is a must.

Sylvie blinked, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Uh, sure, we can use my room. What do you need?"

Well, it was something that could be misunderstood, so I didn't blame her for that.

As we entered Sylvie's room and closed the door, Sylvie looked at me nervously with her eyes. I could see her shaking a little as well.

'.....This girl....'

It was evident that she was pushing herself. The events of yesterday must have been haunting her still.

'Sigh....'

Releasing a sigh inside, I decided not to waste any more time but also readied myself. I knew what kind of state Sylvie was in, and her mentality was very important to me.

She became like this because of my own actions, so it was also my responsibility to fix her mentality. Also, whenever I look at her, for some reason, I feel a little suffocated by her innocence, which always reminds me of the past time.

It is the feeling of protecting the smile, so I decided to hit two birds with one stone right now.

"Sylvie, do you know how to use your powers?"
