BOOOM!
Vd took the full damage of a dragoh at point-bnk, an explosion that would easily vaporize most people into ashes. And although it wasn’t a true Dragon but a Lesser Draister it was still as strong as Tier 6!
Yet…
“What?!”
The orc chief gasped in disbelief as he saw Vd’s body remaining even as the fmes had apparently engulfed him whole. Smoke covered his body, but it rapidly dissipated against the swirling gusts of winds around his body, which also allowed him to move freely.
“Hahhh… That attack took ten thousand durability out of my armor set; don’t you know how much it costs to repair armor?!” The vampire grew furious.
The sorcerer or front of him could hardly believe what his eyes were seeing—not eveoughest armor out there would be able to resist the heat of such a strong monster’s bzing breath so easily!
Yet…
“T-This is…!”
“But well, I have to thank you for it anyways… [Cursed Ghost e]!”
FLASH!
Suddenly, Vd’s armor fred with a phantasmal, cursed aura, quickly transf into a perfect copy of himself, taking sixty pert of his Stats and Abilities, and rushing like a ghost towards the orc.
“Shit! He’s a summooo?!”
The orc stepped back as he quickly waved his hands. The War Runes over his body, interwoven with Cursed Runes, biogether as his skin began to turn purple, starting from his hands.
“Don’t think I ’t take you head-on just because I am a sorcerer, you bastard! {Cursed Fist Teique}!”
His Aura erupted with darkness and purple-colored energies, shaping into fantic fists g against Vd’s ghost e, who materialized two swords made out of fmes and cshed against them with great iy, explosions of darkness and fmes erupting.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“While the e distracts him...”
Vd quickly rushed behind the orc, attempting to reach his left hand while holding the staff with the purple-colored skull. He didn’t o be a genius to guess that’s what was trolling the giant draic beast.
“Don’t think you get close to me so easily!”
However, i sed, the orc’s crimson eyes gred as the staff shoh a bright purple light. The draic beast quickly swung its long tail, with the tip of a sharp metallic bde attag it, hitting Vd at a speed he couldn’t eve!
CRAAASH!
“Shit…!”
His body smmed into the floor beh the monster; his armor protected him from most damage, but he still felt the blunt blows, his body twisting in pain. His regeion abilities barely keep him stable.
“ROOAAARR!”
With a furious roar, the monster lifted its foot and attempted to crush Vd with them. He quickly had to lift up into the skies, evadi another bded tail, only for a sed dragoh to reach him.
FLUOSH!
“It’s attag way too fast!” Vd thought, gritting his teeth. “It both attempt to crush me, stab me, and burh its breath?!”
As he realized that the cursed staff was ected to the monster’s colr trolling it, he also realized these cursed powers were also boosting the monster’s abilities and making it much swifter in terms of attag aing foes and danger.
“Let’s try somethihen!”
Within a sed of the breath reag him, Vd quickly materialized a sed sword made out of ice from the Tier 2 {Ice Sculping} spell, further reinf the shape and enhang durability through his Alchemy’s Tier 1 spell {Synthesis}!
And then…
“{Dual Bzing Bde Arts}: {Dual Style: Dance of Fire and Ice}!”
Vd spun in midair and desded as he boosted his speed using the Whirlwind Aura spell, resembling a spinning tornado of fire and ice.
SLAAASH!
With the powers of his sword, he pierced through the Magic structure of the dragoh, splitting it into two halves that reached the sky and exploded behind him.
BOOOM!
At the same time, he tinued going down, fag the draic beast as he rapidly unleashed the ability of his armor at the dragon’s face at point-bnk!
“{Elemental Magic Shockwave}!”
TRUUUM!
All the damage his armor had accumuted so far was unleashed at once, smming the draic beast’s head with tremendous force. Its eyes started to bleed due to the enormous pressure, and the creature gave a squeal of agony before stepping ba pain and fear.
“Gryyyaarrggh!”
As the beast screamed in pain and the orc chief attempted to trol it, Vd’s e quickly exploded into cursed energies, suddenly turning into a bck spear pierg the orc’s shoulder, although it aimed at his chest.
CRASH!
“Ungh?! What the…?!”
Although the description of the Cursed Ghost e didn’t say anything about shapeshifting, Vd easily figured out that the position of the e was made of pure magical power ected to his and.
He only o use the Alchemy Spell’s {Shape Fe} or even just {Geomancy} to ge the ghost’s shape! However, he didn’t eveo do it himself; the e copied his abilities and even the magic he knew, doing it by itself with a mental and.
“This is a curse?!” The orc realized the spear was inhibiting his ability to easily jure magic as much as before, while also weakening his body greatly. “Don’t fuck with me!”
As he desperately tried to break the spear with his bare hands, Vd smiled.
“It worked!”
Vd reached down with his sword in hand, juring several spells and b the orc. Small Meteors, Frost Beams, Sunshine Swords, and explosive Spears of Darkness stantly put pressure on the orc’s Aura and his mighty Cursed Fists.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“Dammit! H-How is he so versed in so many elemental spells?! Who is he?! Nobody told me there was such a strong vampire here!” The orc screamed. “Did those damn bastards trick me into attag this pce?!”
Crack, crack…!
His barrier was already gaining tless cracks; the three-yered barrier he had jured earlier was now beginning to rapidly shatter yet again! And because the draic beast was still in a state of fusion, it would easily obey his ands.
“Got you!”
Vd quickly maniputed the leftover elemental powers of the spells he had just jured using Geomancy, gathering them around his body and fusing them together into a storm of winds, ice, fire, stone, light, and darkness.
“{Dual Bzing Bde Arts}: {Dual Style: Elemental Tempest}!”
“Shit!”
The orc chief panicked as he saw a giganti of many elements sm his barrier with tremendous, explosive force, shattering all three yers at the same time before engulfing him in stant damage all over his body.
“Uuuaaaggh!
BOOOMMM!!!
Vd was uo keep himself stable as he attacked, the steed by his own attack quickly pushing him away at the same time, falling over the ground with the wounded orc.
“Hahh… Crap, I almost died with my own attack,” he muttered. “That was way to.”
He noticed his Armor had take even more damage to its Durability, but because it had increased all the way to 120k, eve was still above 100k.
It was fine; he could keep going.
“I have to... find that guy! Where is he? I’m pretty sure he’s at least Tier 4. He should have survived that…”
He quickly stood up, looking around to find himself surrounded by a dozen orcs wielding ons and notig the orc chief in the distance, groaning in pain. The other orc barbarians were p potions over his body!
“Stop that!” Vd roared, charging forward.
“Stop that bastard!”
“Don’t let him get to the chief!”
“Kill him!”
Over twelve orc warriors charged at Vd at the same time, swinging their axes, hammers, and swords and unleashing powerful on Arts imbued with their Ara and War Rune Auras.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Tch…! You’ll need more than that to hurt me!”
Vd saw that each hit barely reduced the armor’s durability by a hundred points; against their non-magical blows, it was impossible for them to pierce through it. And also, by abusing the ive aftereffects of loading his body with Ara through his accessories, he became an unmovable fortress.
“Are you kidding me?! No attack works!”
“That man… Just who is he?!”
“That damn armor’s doing all the job!”
“Stop him, even if you have to put your bodies in front of him!”
Vd was growiless as he saw the chief slowly rec, quickly charging forward with his two bdes, and spinning around with the assistance of the Wind-attribute spells for movement.
“Get out of my way! {Dual Bzing Bde Arts}: {Dual Style: Dance of Fire and Ice}!”
Fire and Frost biogether as his entire body began spinning around, sshing the bodies of the orcs, and c them with deadly wounds that either burned or froze them. Although they were tough enough to not die with a single blow, the aftereffects of the blows, burning fmes c their bodies, and frost freezing them slowly slowed them down.
“Chris, take care of them!”
As he called for backup, Chris surged from the skies, flying out of an alley where he had been shooting down the few orcs that tried to sneak ihe city to kill and assault more of the citizens.
“I got your back!”
He pointed his arrow at the orcs with a mischievous smile, firing several arrows of wind, fire, ice, aricity against them. The orcs, already slowed down and greatly wounded, were uo even escape.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Vd tinued his charge as he saw a group of five orcs riding giant bd gray-colored wolves leap into the city, rushing towards him after he heard the orc chief anding them.
“Stop that armored bastard! D-Don’t let him touch me!”
“Awooooo!”
The five giant wolves, each as tall as three meters, howled as they rushed in unison, clearly led by a rger alpha, all while the orcs riding them pointed giant great bows at Vd, raining down cursed arrows towards him, which exploded into bck fmes.
“You’re kidding me?! How prepared were these brutes?”
Vd immediately khis wasn’t just some random attack, and based on what he had heard from the chief in his monologues, he had been told by someoo ihis pce. Perhaps he was even paid for it!
“Haahhh!”
The vampire prince swung his bde as he moved across the air as fast as his winds could carry him, slig apart the arrows as explosions of bck fmes covered him, his armor easily proteg him from their deadly curses.
“Annoying… I guess it’s time to use new Skills,” Vd smiled. “{Bzing Doppelganger}!”
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, out of the vampire’s body, a bzing aura emerged, shaping into three copies of himself made of fire, leaping towards his foes as he barely mao evade the giant bite of the alpha wolf.
The bzing doppelgangers reached the orcs, hugging them against their will and exploding, burning their bodies and the wolves they were riding.
These doppelgangers ied a part of his stats but could also bust and explode, dealing damage based on all the stats they had.
The st two orcs quickly chased after him, only for Vd to bombard them with small, bzieors and giant fists made of stone, crushing the wolves’ heads and spttering them over the floor while pulverizing the orto pieces.
“T-This is ridiculous!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The vampire quickly looked in front of him, his eyes widening as he noticed the draic beast’s tail rushing towards him with tremendous force.
“{Soar}!”
Using several points of Ara, he quickly activated Soar with as much force as possible, catapulting himself into the skies before the bded tail could hit him.
CRASH!
The tail was quickly stu the paved floor of the city, giving Vd some precious seds as he saw the orc chief sorcerer ba a, already fully healed again.
“Bastard, don’t you think you’ve fotten about someone?”
Vd smiled with malice, as the sorcerer was uo notice that the Cursed Ghost e was still with him, surging from all his wounds and reopening them all.
CRAAASH!
“UUAAGH?!”
The orc squealed in agony, falling to his knees, his trol over the beast quickly residing again. His eyes could only see as the other five uarding him were all dispatched by a flying trident and several elemental arrows.
“S-Shit…!”
And then Vd appeared in front of him, kig his face with tremendous force, almost dislog his jaws.
BAAAM!
Then his swords pierced the orc’s arms, making him scream in pain again, before he crushed his legs with the weight of the Ara Aura Pressure, looking down at the orc like a ferocious berserk.
“Uuuaagh! S-Stop it! Stop t me, you fucker!” The orc chief started g in pain.
“Tell me! Who sent you?!” Vd roared. “Who the fuck paid you to attack my city?! ANSWER ME!”
With a furious roar, the vampire tightened his sword's grasp, pierg deeper into the wounds of the orc’s arms.
“Aaaaggh! W-Who sent me?!” He muttered, coughing blood. “Hahh… Hahaha! Who else, you fug idiot?! Obviously, your own kind! You vampires love... you all love to kill one another, don’t you?!”
“What? Was it a Vampire then?” muttered Vd. “Then…!”
“Paul! Watch out!”
Before Vd could ask more questions, Alitheus screamed for his true name, as the vampire wasn’t able to detect a figure approag him iween the shadows, reag him from behind, and then pung him with enough force to gee tiny cracks in his armor.
CRAAASH!
“Ugh…!”
Vd slowly looked in front of him, standing up from the ruins of a house he had destroyed when he nded over it, his eyes looking at the figure of a tall, young vampire with short blue hair and crimson eyes.
“I wao kill you myself, dear brother, but it seems this bastard couldn’t even take care of the city for me… How useless,” sighed the vampire, grabbing Vd’s sword and cutting the head of the orc.
“S-Stop, young lord- AAACCK!”
SLASH!
The young vampire man grabbed the purple-skull staff with his hand and then smiled back at Vd, his powers suddenly in trol of the gigantic yet blinded draic beast.
“Long time no see, Vd! Excuse me for my terrible introdu; I’m Asthartez! Remember me? Y brother!”
“A-Asthartez?!” Vd muttered. “Why are you doing this? Why are you... Ugh?!”
Vd suddenly felt something; the attack Asthartez had done pierced his armor somehow, leaving his back wounded, with a festering curse that began to weaken him.
“Why, you ask? Isn’t this how we resolve things between felloires?” The young man ughed. “You should have seen it ing from a mile away!”
“To think he would e here so soon!” thought Paul. “And he’s… much strohan I imagioo!”
Asthartez was no joke; his Aura exuded the power of...
Tier 5!
“Let’s py a game, little brother,” Asthartez said. “While my dear mother takes care of the whore that gave birth to you... Let’s py Wack-a-mole! Hahah!”
“ROOOAAARRR!”
The draic beast roared, running towards Vd, its giant cws about to stomp on him.
CRASH!
