The mysterious bck werewolf, whose dark aura resembled small particles of bck sand, rushed towards Vd, swinging his massive cws against him, which had grown long and sharp aremely durable, enough to withstand the sharpness of Vd’s sword as he attempted to parry his blow.
CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
However, he was only pushed back, realizing the tremendous prowess within the werewolf, whose huge body towered above the vampire prih ease. The werewolf’s sharp crimson eyes gred down at him as if he were nothing but a patheti.
“Capable, aren’t we? At least you were able to take o from me,” the werewolf smiled. “I like surprising my prey; it always gets me excited for a new hunt.”
“That’s a Soul Artifact, isn’t it?” Vd poi the werewolf’s bck bracelet, which had a small or shaped like the head of a jackal, with purple jewels as eyes. “You’re from Ennead?”
“Oh, this?” smiled the bck werewolf. “I am not from Ennead, prince. I was born and raised in the slums of this damn try. But this? It is a gift from friends that came from Ennead, you see.”
“So you are indeed from that cult,” Vd nodded. “How nice of you to tell me so openly, and I thought you were a bandit.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter, doesn’t it?” ughed the werewolf. “By the end of this, yoing to bey obedient monster.”
“So his ability is about turning people into monsters, as I thought,” Vd thought. “That bracelet has a jackal head. It reminds me of Anubis? The mooo.”
Vd quickly realized that the bracelet’s cursed powers must have allowed the werewolf to turn people into jackal-headed monsters.
They were called “Guardians of the Underworld” after all, so it retty much a given. This meant that his Soul Relic was most likely a summoning-type.
Hehe werewolf had to be quite strong by himself to have been able to push him back this much…
“So people that aren’t from Ennead also create a bond with a Soul Relics?” wondered Vd as he gred at the werewolf. The two moved around, cirg against one arying to find an opening to strike.
“Ahah, no, not normally…” The werewolf smiled. “Well, it could be said this one’s special.”
His bracelet suddenly released a burst of darkness, enpassing the werewolf and suddenly c his body with bck armor.
And then Vd, Camil, Chris, and Queenie all felt it—the presence of a cursed entity, someone beyond the stars themselves.
[The {Desecrated Shadow King}’s accursed presence has slightly maed…]
[He is gng at you.]
Amidst the darkness and shadows geed from the werewolf’s cursed armor, the figure of a huge, heavily armored king maed.
With bright red eyes, gring down at Vd with indifference.
It was barely as intimidating as the one he saw in his Css ge Trial, where the entity had maed almost pletely.
Because three of them had maed, his mind was breaking apart, and he had gotten to the verge of having his mind shattered.
Whatever that meant on in-game meics…
However, after having gohrough that, this accursed presehat used to make him feel unease and afraid seemed to not affect him that muymore.
“Hoh? The pressure of the Desecrated Shadow King does not hurt you, prihe werewolf was surprised.
“I’ve growo the disgusting presenonsters like that,” said Vd. “And of course, I’ve also grown tired of you.”
FLASH!
Without even waiting for another sed, Vd charged forward, fully knowing the werewolf was actually waiting for the moment he would attack him.
The werewolf smiled maniacally as he readied his cws, now covered in bck, cursed steel, as he swung a cross-shaped cutting wave against Vd at once.
SLAAASH!
Vd trated, his focus reag his maximum level as he spun in midair, propelled by the Soar Spell, and barely evaded the deadly attack, which hit the walls behind him.
BOOOM!
At the same time, he reached the werewolf, imbuing his sword with a Holy Light Spell by using Geomanto the metal itself.
“{Geomancy}: {Curse-Purifying Holy Sword}”
FLAAASH!
Out of nowhere, his sword fully ged, turning gold and gaining sacred ors of crosses and angeligs.
Its light was so intehat it burned Vd’s hands; as he was a Vampire, he was naturally weak against Holy Light himself.
However, the damage wasn’t anything his Blood Demon Skill couldn’t heal on its owime.
“His sword ged color and element?” the werewolf thought, squinting his eyes as he prepared to parry Vd’s blow. “Well, even if he does this, I am still stronger!”
CLAAASH!
The werewolf was sure to be strohan Vd; after all, his Appraisal Skill allowed him to see Vd’s stats, which were incredibly low pared to his own, which were at least ten times as high.
Yet…
Crack, crack…!
“Huh?!”
CRASH!
Before he could realize it, his cws and his armor were shattered into pieces as Vd’s sword desded like a guillotine, followed by two other attacks from his ghostly guardians.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Graaarggh?!”
The werewolf was caught off-guard pletely, as three stabbing blows pierced his chest, making his armor shatter apart and his mouth vomit blood.
To make things worse, the sword’s holy light burned his insides, and the cursed powers c through his body were being rapidly destroyed, causing even more damage as they busted and exploded.
“Did you think I was weak?”
From what little of Vd’s skin could be seen, his pale white color had suddenly turned red as his muscles bulged and hrew from his forehead.
Ding!
[The Skill [Blood Demon’s Immortal Chimera Body (SS)]’s Ability {Lesser Blood Demon Transformation} has been activated,
[Your body has transformed, taking upon the form of an A Blood Demon of your Lineage for 15 Minutes and Increasing All Stats and Vampirid Chimeric Abilities Power and Effects by 330%!]
[While in your {Lesser Blood Demon Form}, you are Immuo any Status Effect, and your Stats ot be lowered or increased any further. You also use the following Abilities without any cost: {Blood Asura’s Rampage} {Blood Domain}, {Blood Curse}, etc.]
Blood Runes activated across his entire body as his Stats rapidly skyrocketed once he activated his Blood Demon Transformation.
“Y-You fug…!”
The werewolf screamed as he fell from the air to the ground, his aura suddenly turning deep red as his body massively grew, being three times as big!
“{Cursed Soul Absorption}: {Berserk Werewolf Form}!”
With a loud howl, the werewolf’s wounds suddenly regeed lightly as his armor reshaped around his body to aodate his new, rger form.
The cursed souls of all the monsters Vd’s team killed just retly were absorbed by his bracelet, which melted into his wrist, being oh him.
“He must have used the Fusion ability they do with Soul Relics, isn’t it?” wondered Vd, rushing forward. “I have to be careful.”
Despite how he had shown his strength, Vd was never reckless; he showed caution as he quickly fired led sshing attacks first, which came apanied by crushing invisible shockwaves from Camil’s psychic attacks and arrow rains from Chris, which exploded iricity.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
As the explosions of attacks bombarded the werewolf, he ughed, smiling as they were dealing no damage at all anymore.
“Hehehe… HAHAHAH!”
As he ughed maniacally, he seemed to have lost his posure, charging towards Vd at full poung him with his massive fists into the ground.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“ARGH!”
Vd gritted his teeth as he screamed, feeling his armor barely proteg him from having his internal body crushed, despite the boost from his Blood Demon form.
“AWOOOOO!”
The bck werewolf howled loudly, releasing dozens of jackal-like cursed specters, which rushed towards Vd and the rest of his party.
“Eat! Eat them all!”
K! K! K!
As Vd felt dozens of jaws biting his armor at the same time, he saw dozens more of these creatures appearing in front of Chris, Camil, and Queenie, aiming to kill them.
However, they weren’t going to go down easily anyway, as the trio started to defend themselves. Camil kept her posure as invisible shockwaves of psychiergy blew away the specters, making them disappear. Chris fired Holy Arrows, exploding into shockwaves of holy light that made the specters disappear into ashes. And Queenie fired tless heart-shaped projectiles made of pink light that exploded upon tact, leaving holes through the ghosts.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“TCH!”
The werewolf’s face distorted in anger and frustration as he saw them surviving, only to feel something lifting his body up.
“GRURGH?!”
He gred down, realizing Vd’s sword had sshed apart the specters already, and with his bare hand, he lifted the werewolf up and threw him away with a barrage of punches from both of his fists and the fists of his guardians, enpassed by a demonic aura of blood.
“{Blood Asura’s Rampage}!”
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
“GRAAARRGH!”
Each punch left a hole through his armor and flesh, while his face got all swollen as he was covered in blood, which spttered all over the pce.
CRAAASH!
Hitting the walls behind him, the furious werewolf roared, and the hundreds of cursed specters gathered once more within his body, ing his fists as they swirled rapidly.
“{Cursed Ghost Fist Rampage}!!!”
With a ferocious roar while vomiting blood due to the damage he took, he intercepted Vd’s barrage of punches with his own.
However, Vd quickly jumped away from the attacks, surprising the werewolf, who had guessed wrongly that Vd would honor the battle and fight him head-on.
No, Vd instantly evaded that deadly attack, propelling himself using Soar ten times in a row, ing his body in so much wind a storm was released.
FLUOSH!
“RAAAH! COWARD!”
With whatever mind he had left, the werewolf grew furious and frustrated, jumping towards Vd and unleashing the attayway.
K! K! K! K!
His armor held on just fine, and as Vd quickly swung his bde against the werewolf, a guillotiack reflected on a giant golden dragon biting his arms with its sharp fangs was enough to cut both of his arms!
SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
And that was also thanks to his two guardians, imitating his attad making sure the werewolf was pletely incapacitated.
“GRAARGH?!”
“Still thinking I’m weak?!”
Vd didn’t stop there, kig the werewolf in the fad then rushing down at lightning speed. His sword suddenly started growing rger as Vd merged it with the various swords he had taken from the bandits.
“{Geomancy}: {Titan Bde}!”
His sword temporarily became ten times as huge, as Vd used his monstrous strength to swing it down, resembling a massive hunk of metal rushing towards the werewolf.
“GRRGGH?!”
CLAAASH!
The werewolf gritted his sharp fangs, rapidly evading the ining blow by a hair, although his tail was caught in the sshing attack, cut apart and making him bleed even more.
“Heh, fug idiot!”
He didn’t really care about his tail though, jumping towards Vd by using his own bde as a ptform, knowing full well that Vd could simply not lift it as easily now that it was so heavy.
“I got you!”
A barrage of powerful kicks and phantoms c Vd’s entire body and cursing him while trying to suck his soul out engulfed the vampire prince.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
“Nnggh…!”
Vd vomited blood as he felt his soul being slowly eaten away. Quickly attag back, his guardians used their powerful teique.
“{Silver Moon Mirror}!”
They poiheir shields towards the werewolf, tanking his attacks momentarily before the mirror shields shattered into pieces.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
“What was that?! That’s all you got?!”
As the werewolf ughed, pushing Vd down with his legs into his chest, aiming to crush his heart by the weight of his body, suddenly…
FLAAASH!
The two broken mirrors maed a refle of the werewolf twice.
“Wha…?!”
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
And before he could even realize it, his entire body unched and ed in ghostly attacks, weakening him and cursing him, and even dealing damage to his soul too.
A powerful teique the guardians unleash only once every hour, it allowed Vd to fully refley attack capable of breaking the mirrors.
“GRAAARRGH!”
As the werewolf screamed in agony, Vd smiled, trolling the blood of his wounds and then toug it by extending a small thread.
“{Blood Bomb}”
“NGH?!”
Suddenly, in that very sed, the werewolf felt the blood from his wounds rapidly bust, burning his already ugly wounds and then blowing apart his body piece by piece.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“GRUUUAAAGGHH!”
As he fell from the skies with half his torso missing and with his head barely intact, he noticed Vd’s sword had yet to e back.
The vampire prince, even while falling from the air, lifted it up easily with just a mere wave of his hand.
“M-Magism?!”
The werewolf was wrong once more; Vd didn’t need his physical strength to lift his sword anymore.
SLAAASH!
With a single, gigantic ssh, the werewolf’s head and whatever remained of him were split apart, his innards and blood spttering into the ground, leaving a bloody mess behind.
The cursed presence of the Desecrated Shadow King remained, lingering for a couple of seds as Vd gred at it.
And then…
[The {Desecrated Shadow King} admires the bloodshed.]
[The Fate of the Damned has been brought by their very as, or inas.]
[And so, when you die, there is nobody to bme but yourself.]
FLUOSH!
And then the presence fully disappeared.
[The {Desecrated Shadow King} presence has dissipated.]
“Hahh… What the hell did he even mean with that?”
