Chapter 315 Bloody Bliss

'I understand. You shouldn't waste your energy talking to me. I'll have to give it my all if I want to stand up to him. Wain mentally said, looking at Vlad.

The vampire was acting strangely. He was smiling cheerfully, and red electric discharges were accumulating around him. Vlad strolled towards Wain, and the ground beneath his feet trembled.

The other members of the arena moved as far away as possible from the epicenter of their fight. No one wanted to mess with Vlad, at the moment, he was the strongest. What's more, he was a vampire, which made the situation more complicated.

"You know, I always thought that those who try to hide their identity are cowards or eternal loners. What's the point of hiding your name if others can find out about you and praise your power? However, in your case, it actually makes sense. I have tasted the blood of dozens of races, men and women, but your blood is like no other! What race are you from?"

'',

Vlad was sure he was just lucky enough to meet a very rare and sparse race member. Such existed, but usually, no one knew about them as their influence on the world was negligible.

"You're asking stupid questions. If you want to find out, you just have to take this mask off me. Isn't that easy?" Wain said, and his palm glowed. Hundreds of souls burst out of it, which he managed to get before the vampire appeared.

It was his only way to become stronger. He didn't worry about any of the watchers finding out what race he was since his identity was a secret anyway.

Wain quickly absorbed souls and saw several messages in front of him.

[You have leveled up to level 34. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

[You have leveled up to level 35. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

[You have leveled up to level...]

[You have leveled up to level 40. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

Wain got a lot of Soul Essence and greatly increased his Stats since some of the souls were Damaged.

"What did he just do?"

"He just absorbed so many souls?"

"Is that possible?"

'',

"He should have cleansed the souls before he absorbed them!"

A lot of people were shocked by what they saw. They were confused and didn't understand what had happened, but some stared intently at Wain.

They could not discover his identity, but now they knew what race he belonged to. Vlad was one of them. He was the scion of a powerful Family and knew many of the secrets of this world. He was also aware of the humans.

"I see, so that's why your blood seemed so stunning to me. You're a human. Damn, I should taste your blood properly. A few drops weren't enough." Vlad smiled, and the lightning spear in his hand increased in size.

He wasn't going to feel sorry for Wain because he had rare blood. The joy of the battle and enjoying it was the most important thing for Vlad. The rare blood was the reward for victory.

Vlad's eyes sparkled, and he sharply threw his spear at Wain.

Wain did not dodge. While Vlad and the others were in shock, Wain communicated with the Knight of the Bloody Rose. It was difficult, so they were helped by Blind Sorcerer and Code of Light and Darkness. Knight could not speak more than a few words a minute.

To Wain's surprise, he didn't know everything about the fifth form, though he had been completely sure of the opposite before. The reason was the Knight's hidden nature and the fact that his full power was revealed only with a lot of blood spilled, both enemy and his own.

Wain stared at the lightning bolt flying toward him and lunged forward. The petals on the sword glowed brightly and turned into real, blood-colored petals. They multiplied tenfold and encircled the sword in an instant, increasing in size.

The petals shuddered, and in a mighty wave, they headed toward the spear and swallowed it whole. Wain swung the sword sharply several times and created energy beams that flew toward Vlad.

The vampire was surprised and reacted quickly, but he could not dodge much of the best of it. His right arm was destroyed, and half of his body and part of his head.

These were incompatible wounds, but Vlad's eyes were as full of life. On the contrary, a flame burned in them, as if he had been resurrected rather than in death.

"Great. This is beginning to feel like a real battle." Vlad smiled, and the blood nearby headed his way. His horrific wounds recovered in seconds as if they hadn't existed.

"Damn, you tore my clothes, okay, that's no problem."

The ring on Vlad's finger glowed, and a gray stone appeared in his hand. He crushed it, and his clothes miraculously took on their former appearance.

Most vampires paid close attention to their appearance, causing many to call them the most beautiful creatures in the world. Vlad was no exception, and he had special items to restore his clothes that cost a great deal.

"What?! He recovered so easily?!"

"I knew vampires had strong regeneration but aren't that over the top?"

"Are all vampires really capable of that?!"

The crowd was shocked. They were sure that Wain's powerful attack should have stopped their confrontation, but Vlad easily managed to withstand it.

"Is it even possible to kill you?" Wain said staring intently at Vlad.

"Huh, of course, do you think I'm immortal? These fools wonder because they've never seen a vampire from a noble Family fight before."

Vampires were a powerful race, but they, like everyone else, had a division in society. Vlad was above the rest in the social hierarchy, even among other vampires.

'He's from a noble family? Apparently, he's different from the others and has useful connections.'

"Hey, don't you want to make a deal?"
