Chapter 274 Nemesis

The Vampire in front of Dilan was two meters tall, had a bulky body, and looked like he was fully focused on crushing his opponents with brute force.

“You are the first!” Dilan exclaimed, using his terrifying Agility that exceeded 140 Units to slash out with the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

[Thunder Step] had already been activated beforehand, but Dilan had even activated [Second Acceleration] by using 15 units of mana to reach an Agility ordinary Tier-1 existences could never attain.

The bulky Vampire in front of Dilan was shocked when he saw Dilan and his rapid movements. However, the Blazing Serpentine Blade’s attacks didn’t inflict any injuries on the bulky Vampire. The only pain the bulky Vampire felt was the burning all over his body.

The faint, nearly untraceable scratches all over his body were negligible as they had already begun to heal.

“Looks like your Health stat is also quite high.” Dilan merely noted before disappearing from his spot once again.

A moment later, the red flare caused by the Blazing Serpentine Blade vanished into thin air as well. Dilan reappeared next to the bulky Vampire, whose head turned in his direction with a confident smile.

However, upon seeing that Dilan had switched his weapons to crimson-colored daggers, the confident smile on the Vampire’s face was wiped off.

‘They’re much sharper!’

Because the Blazing Serpentine Blade was not strong enough to injure the Vampire, Dilan switched to the CrimsonClaw daggers. They were more than strong enough to injure the Vampire, which one could see from the blood that splattered through the surrounding the moment Dilan began his assault.

In a single second, Dilan had inflicted more than 20 deep gashes. The right arm of the bulky Vampire was only hanging by thin threads, and his entire chest was clawed open.

But even if the Vampire looked as if he had been tortured severely, he was still alive.

‘I cannot reach his head.’ Dilan grimaced. He knew that the five powerful Vampires around him were just waiting for an opportunity to catch him.

Cutting off the bulky man’s head with the CrimsonClaw daggers was not easy, which was why he would have to jump on the Vampire’s head and finish off the troublesome situation from a higher level in the air.

However, the moment he took a jump, the others would intervene.

Currently, his paths of retreat were already slimmed down because the Vampires surrounded him in a tight circle. All of them were ready to become sacrifices for their master as long as it would mean that Dilan would get caught.

That was a big advantage of having total control over the Vampires. The noble Vampires were able to control them precisely. There was no problem in ordering them to do whatever was best in fulfilling their goals.

Dilan felt that this was quite advantageous, but forced loyalty or sacrifices were not something that suited him. He wouldn’t like it if others sacrificed their precious life just to catch someone. This was plain stupid according to him.

The situation seemed to spiral out of hand, but Dilan kept smiling. There was no reason for him to feel burdened by the fact that he was surrounded by the other Vampires, or that the five powerful Vampires might join the fight soon.

In fact, even the two thousand Ascenders and servants were not troublesome for Dilan to deal with. All of them were in a big crowd, ready to prevent Dilan from escaping by all means.

But that was a big mistake. After all, they mistook that Dilan was alone. They were of the opinion that Dilan was a crazy madman, who wanted to kill everyone to selfishly increase his level and stats. The Blood Legion would be a great goal to achieve this.

Maybe he was a battle maniac as well, but that was not something the Mihorl Clan was bothered about. They were enraged that someone had dared to humiliate them in front of everyone.

Dilan had not only killed one of them but he had bypassed everyone else before appearing in front of his strongest fighter. Only the rest of his family was barely on par with the bulky Vampire. He had received far more of his noble blood than any other plebian Vampire.

It was only a matter of time before he would advance as well!

However, it was exactly this warrior, who was toyed with by an attacker, who barged inside their hideout without caring about hiding his appearance.

“This human… who the hell does he think he is?!” The Mihorl family’s leader asked, his hand crackling as it deformed. Long claws grew out of the tip of his fingers and his eyes turned crimson as a bloody red hue shrouded his entire body.

“Calm down, little one. It’s just a tiny human. He won’t be able to kill Goliath. Nobody has ever been able to defeat him.” A beautiful woman appeared by the Vampire leader’s side. She licked her lips seductively at the sight of the young man, and her eyes twinkled in excitement.

Her body was well-formed and nobody would question her if she were to say that she had been a first-class model before the Primordial Ascension occurred.

However, this woman was more than 1000 years old, despite looking like she was in her early 20s.

“Looks like it was a good choice to come and visit you. Who cares about my old man’s Sanctum, when I can enjoy this sight?” She asked with a chuckle while her eyes were burning fiercely.

The Leader of the Mihorl clan could barely contain himself. He grit his teeth and tried to stop his lips from twitching.

‘This fucking bitch, can’t she just get out of my sight, or shut her mouth while being on her knees sucking my d*ck?’

The woman was beautiful, even by Vampire standards. Nonetheless, she was a pain in the ass for the leader of the Mihorl Clan. If her presence hadn’t been necessary to enter the real Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord, Mihorl would have already killed her.

After all, her powers were not that special anymore, now that the Primordial Ascension changed everything. She might still be powerful but she was not the strongest in the Shikan plains anymore.

The Primordial Ascension had toppled the ten-thousand-year-old balance of the Vampire Society. This was something that was unheard of, but it provided numerous opportunities for the lower nobles, the plebian Vampires, and even the higher nobles.

After all, the higher noble Vampires’ strength had been way higher than anyone else’s from the beginning of the Primordial Ascension.

This provided them the opportunity to become outstanding individuals in the new era that started on Milarn more than a month ago.

The strength some humans attained despite being innately weak was more than enough to showcase how powerful one could become.

And it was exactly such a human being, who was currently wreaking havoc on Goliath, the strongest of the Mihorl clan’s vampires.

Dilan had already cut off one of his arms. However, this did not come without a price. [Second Acceleration] had just stopped, decreasing Dilan’s Agility to 110 Units.

This was still fast enough to deal with all the Vampires, servants, and bloodthirsty Ascenders around him.

However, Dilan didn’t feel like doing everything on his own. There was a reason why he had brought Williams and the others to the hideout of the Blood Legion.

“How about we clean up a little bit?” Dilan suddenly asked. He had sensed something and pointed in the air with one of his CrimsonClaw daggers.

“I won’t fall for your tricks, you ant!” Goliath growled threateningly. Lifting his only remaining arm, he made it enlarge before he smashed it on Dilan’s head.

“Well, it’s your fault if you catch fire.”

With that being said, a hailstorm of fire rained down as the entire sky took on a fiery red color.

“Don’t die too easily, please.”
