Chapter 42
Quad-thud—
A terrifying kick, aimed with precision to knock away the flying crimson claws, was delivered with a menacing sweep.
Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, beautiful red petals bloomed, beguiling the gaze, and in that moment, the opponent seized the opportunity from behind, thrusting a fist.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
"Ugh... What the hell is this speed...!"
Beta One, a level 7 vampire of the Blood Alliance, parried the attack, sharpening his fangs.
Drenched in blood as if dipped in crimson paint, his entire body had turned red, and he took great pride in his physical abilities.
Hailing from a dimension specialized in physical prowess rather than sorcery, he had risen to a high position there, thanks to the synergy with his unique skill, "Diamond Body Unyielding to Flames."
Since returning to Earth, he hadn't lost a close-quarters battle except against Alphas.
Though he often retreated in clashes with Guardians, those weren't one-on-one situations, and continuing the fight could unnecessarily escalate issues, so it was irrelevant.
That's why the current situation puzzled him.
Quad-thud—Bam!
With each intersection of arms and legs, the impact echoed, vibrating the air.
Close-range exchanges.
The opponent demonstrated a level of martial arts higher than anticipated, skillfully using the entire body to target vital points while evading attacks.
Still, it was a fact that he, who had spent decades in combat, had shortcomings.
Squelch!
After several feints, a punch landed solidly on the opponent's guarded face, seizing the opportunity Beta One needed to restrain him, relying on his sturdy body.
Quad-thud—Bang!
"Ugh!"
Suddenly accelerating several times faster, the opponent pushed him away, creating distance.
There was little damage, but that wasn't important now.
"Urk...!"
Whoosh—
In that moment.
Another level 6 individual became ashes, pierced through the heart, scattering as red flowers.
Ignoring the Beta God's attempts to restrain him and disregarding the countermeasures against the blood blades, he focused entirely on reducing the number of subordinates.
From his perspective, the situation was about to explode in flames.
"Ino-om—! Don't run away like a coward, stand and fight with dignity!"
He shouted in frustration, but the opponent merely chuckled lightly.
Though no words were exchanged, the intention was clear.
Do you have the right to speak about attacking someone with multiple allies?
In response to the mocking gaze, Beta One's face, already burning like lava, exploded as he struck down the undead approaching him.
"Ugh—! Beta God! What are you doing! Do whatever it takes to keep him from escaping!"
"We're doing our best here! You try tying him down even for a moment! You're the one continuously using allies as shields!"
Amidst the chaos of the lesser vampires aiding the elite vampires, their situation wasn't favorable.
The lower-level vampires, not contributing much to the fight, were dealing with the numerous undead minions, adding to the confusion on the battlefield.
Yet, the biggest issue was the extraordinary abilities of the opponent.
The vampire they faced was undoubtedly level 7, but even with their combined strength, it was challenging to restrain him.
Even they, with a speed so swift that they would miss it if not on high alert, the specialized physical abilities of Beta One, and the power to bounce back even when confronted, along with the unpredictability of his stealth.
From the moment he first infiltrated the villa, they knew he had a knack for stealth, but the way he could momentarily hide his presence and launch a surprise attack in the midst of a chaotic battle was chilling to the bone.
'Even these undead are annoying! And since when has he been using invisibility! Is it a hidden ability?'
At first, it seemed like just a momentary diversion to avoid attention, but after dealing with subordinates, he blatantly mixed in invisibility.
And most crucially, incredibly resilient.
Beta One had already managed to land a few successful attacks and inflict fatal injuries through coordination with Beta God,
but...
The opponent, as if turning back time, effortlessly recovered and continued to rampage, driving him to the brink of madness.
Moreover, he saw through traps laid by Beta God with magic, evaded them, and used blood magic whenever an opportunity presented itself.
Truly a versatile entity.
'And that guy, the more we fight, the stronger he seems to get...'
Beta One, unaware that it wasn't just a feeling.
***
Heinz took a light breath.
Although it seemed easy to plunder vampires outwardly, fighting against numerous enemies was not so simple.
Even though the battle continued, Hans was in tatters, but
Abyssal Conclave's situation was even more severe.
Over half of those who had already fallen and the rest were far from unscathed.
While Hans had made researching his main goal, it didn't mean that he had moderately engaged with the enemies.
On the contrary, he pushed harder to see how the opponents would react to extreme situations, without considering their well-being, as if it were an aggressive experiment.
[Well, I can figure out the shortcomings on my own. It might be faster this way.]
After a brief respite, as the individuals of Abyssal Conclave fell, the suppression of dark magic was lifted for Hans.
He scattered an even more strengthened dark magic than before.
[Hehehek!]
Clatter, thud!
"Damn it! Hahoe mask—!"
Abyssal Conclave, who had confidently set traps, was one by one rendered powerless and fell helpless...
The aftermath also affected the ongoing battle of the vampires on the side.
***
Whoosh—
"Ugh... you, you..."
[Collecting a new Vampire factor. Due to the special skill "Bloodline Evolution," you have gained enlightenment. The skill "Blood Magic" evolves into the special skill "Mystery of Blood."]
[The special skill "Mystery of Blood" absorbs the lower abilities "Blood Manipulation" and "Blood Circulation Amplification" and is further enhanced.]
'Oh, this is good.'
Heinz slowly pulled away from the disintegrating Beta's neck, confirming the new ability.
Eating a magic-specialized being like Beta proved to be worthwhile, making the evolved "Blood Magic" skill more convenient to use.
Unlike before when bound by certain rules, now he could engage in teleportation through blood, relying more on straightforward will and using blood as a medium.
The increased efficiency in producing the effects of "Blood Manipulation" and "Blood Circulation Amplification" was a natural result.
"Grooah! You! Feeding on your own kind! You were a ghoul! A ghoul! No wonder things felt strange—!"
For a moment, Beta One, with his lava-like red body and emitting white smoke from every pore, annihilated the undead surrounding him, showing how infuriated he was.
Deciding it would be challenging to hunt down excessively resilient Beta One first while there were constraints from the surroundings, Heinz received help from Hans to deal with Beta God.
It was not difficult to deal with the typical wizard-type Beta God while the enhanced undead bought a brief moment.
'Of course, he was different from a typical wizard as a vampire, but the difference was meaningless to me.'
Though he forced his way in to quickly deal, his entire body was torn apart by the storm of blood created, but...
It was a trivial matter for Heinz, who had devoured most of the vampires present here, as long as the accumulated energy did not run out.
"How on earth do you maintain your sanity? No, are you just beautifully insane? But since you dared to touch the taboo, it won't end well for you either!"
A typical case of arrogance.
Since there was no point in answering, I immediately used the newly acquired "Mystery of Blood."
Quahk!
Splatter, dribble—
The scattered blood in the air solidified into chain forms and charged towards Beta One, some turning into thorns and shooting out from his square.
"Groo, using such cheap tricks on me—!"
And in a moment, Heinz, who concealed his presence, approached him and thrust his claws into Beta One's neck.
Crack!
"Groo—?!"
The unexpected ambush bounced off his tough skin, but the impact was transmitted sufficiently.
And without support from the surroundings, Beta One was no more than a sturdy punching bag for Heinz.
Crack! Crack! Quaaang—!
Blood-red chains from all directions bound his limbs, and Heinz, moving at a rapid pace, struck his entire body with the fingertips filled with blood magic.
Whenever friction occurred, red petals combined, burning his skin.
Slash—!
Targeting specific areas, the area Heinz focused on.
As the continuous attacks reached their limit, Beta One's neck skin tore open, and droplets of blood spurted out.
It signified that the durability of his flesh had finally reached its limit.
It was the signal announcing Beta One's end.
'Level 7s have strong blood control, making it hard to absorb blood from other parts. I have no choice but to bite and suck.'
That's why Heinz had to feed on Beta One's neck for bloodsucking, but...
Now it was an irrelevant matter.
Since there would be no witnesses anyway.
