Chapter 341 End of a Family

Dilan pointed in the direction of all the noble Vampires of the Agilt family, who were charging in his direction. Close to 10 Tier-2 Vampire subordinates were right behind them, trying their utmost to charge in Dilan’s direction, to end his life and save their matriarch.

“I guess you guys were just a bit unfortunate to meet me. I don’t think that anyone else would be strong, let alone fast enough to fight against your clan. Only the patriarchs of the Bryte and the Melza family are probably more annoying than your clan!” Dilan laughed devilishly as he lightly clinked his daggers against the mana sphere the matriarch of the Agilt family had created.

There was no need for any more words because his actions would clearly show what type of person he was; merciless to his opponents, and an unstoppable force!

Dilan shot forward with all his might, causing tiny spider web-like cracks to appear on the ground wherever he stepped. A huge black shadow flashed in front of everyone as one of the Thunderbolt Daggers was replaced by Balzaki.

His strength increased by 20 units upon holding Balzaki tightly and Dilan didn’t hesitate to make use of his increased strength. He slashed at his opponents and cut them open before he shot past them without a second look.

Right now, Dilan was not even trying to attack precisely to finish off one opponent after another. He was attempting to turn all of the Vampires into cripples with one swing at a time.

This worked almost perfectly fine, especially since his overwhelming speed and strength worked together in perfect sync. Several attacks of the Agilt family’s Vampires were about to hit him but Dilan created a total of three blueish shields by activating [Aegis’ Shield] thrice.

This drained Dilan of the remaining mana he was left with. Instead of activating [Bearer of Pain] to replenish his mana, Dilan chose to do something different.

He used the remaining unallocated status points he possessed to increase his Mana stats by a total of 6.3 Units. His mana increased to 94.5 Units, which was further amplified by the title [Beyond the Star]’s 10% stat increase and the 11 Units he received from the pieces of equipment he was currently wearing.

The Agilt family’s biggest treasure and strongest weapon had always been their high speed. Now, after the Primordial Ascension had happened, they continued to focus on their Agility, picking only a few abilities that were related to combat.

They believed that being the fastest would be enough to be the strongest. However, even if they would be faster than Dilan, their attacks wouldn’t be strong enough to injure him.

After they activated their own Agility-boosting abilities and acceleration abilities, the Vampires’ bodies were constantly being damaged and repaired.

Their body burst open just like that of Dilan when his stats reached a threshold where he was not supposed to be able to move anymore under normal circumstances.

However, while the Vampires reached stats close to 200 Units, at most, Dilan was currently in the same position, with the same Agility, while all his other stats were way higher than theirs.

Even if the Agilt family’s Vampires were occasionally able to evade his attack, it was not as if the ordinary Vampire subordinates had any chance of sacrificing their masters to save their own life.

They were the first to be cut apart by Balzaki’s huge razor-sharp blade, their masters offering them to Dilan like cannon fodder. As for the noble Vampires, they might reach a similar Agility stat to Dilan but they had to close in on him first in order to initiate an attack.

Their attacks might not work out in most situations but that didn’t mean they would give up. Their immensely huge pride and ego prevented them from retreating and fleeing the battlefield.

It was their mission to protect their matriarch and kill Dilan in order to retrieve the five Sanctum Keys. In the last few centuries, nobody had ever been able to get their hands on all Sanctum keys.

Now that this had changed, the vast majority of Vampire Clans accepted sacrificing their subordinates if this would allow them to get the Sanctum keys!

However, this didn’t mean that the matriarch wanted to see the death of her one and only family. She released the mana sphere that protected her body the moment her oldest child was cut in two parts.

Her oldest child’s heart was destroyed in the process, which meant that a single attack would be more than enough to kill her lovely baby!

Dilan noticed that the matriarch had removed her one and only protection shield when he cut through the body of a gorgeous Vampire lady. A creepy smile appeared on his face as he forcefully changed his trajectory.

He appeared next to the upper body of the gorgeous Vampire he had just cut apart and he flashed a wide smile as he lifted her by grabbing a fistful of her hair.

“Let go of her!!!” The matriarch screamed at the top of her lungs. Dilan’s smile would have widened if that was even possible.

Yet, while he was smiling, it felt like his eyes were glinting in cold fury.

“You probably never imagined that you or your family could die while trying to procure the Sanctum keys, am I right?” Dilan asked with a faint smile on his face.

He had deactivated both [Thunder Step] and [Second Acceleration] to save some Mana. However, he quickly noticed that this was entirely useless.

Rather than saving up on Mana and being easier to get attacked, feeling a bit of pain should be much better.

Thus, Dilan activated [Bearer of Pain] to turn half of his Life force into Mana. He coughed up blood because his body wanted to retaliate against his Lifeforce being drained, which the matriarch saw as a sign of weakness.

She didn’t answer his question and blasted forward instead, activating all her agility-boosting abilities.

There were a total of three of them, which she had activated, in addition to her Vampire Power.

All of a sudden, the matriarch’s Agility crossed 300 Units, which heavily injured her body which was incapable of regenerating fast enough.

Dilan was a bit baffled about the matriarch’s speed but he could only smile at this sight and activated [Thunder Step] and [Second Acceleration].

[Bracing Pain] increased his stats by 25%, after his Lifeforce had been drained. Thus, his Agility crossed 250 units at once.

He was still slower than the Matriarch of the Agilt family but that was of no concern because he had a big advantage.

“Speed is not everything,” Dilan stated as he used all the accumulated momentum he possessed to throw the matriarch’s daughter straight at her.

The matriarch was baffled by this, and she tried catching her daughter to prevent anything from happening to her head.

In a desperate attempt to save her daughter,, the matriarch didn’t even realize that she had already ended up in front of Dilan, who had shot forward with Balzaki pulled backward to attack.

Only when Balzaki was slashed out did realization struck her.

However, it was already too late for her to react!

A black flash cut through the neck of the gorgeous Vampire, whose upper body was tightly embraced by the matriarch.

Simultaneously, the matriarch’s body was cut in half as well, causing blood, bone fragments, and intestines to spurt out of her body.

“Nooo!!! My baby!!!” The matriarch let out a shrill cry of despair when she saw that her daughter’s head fell to the ground with a thud.

Sadness and unbending anger coursed through her body but the only thing she could see and perceive was the Thunderbolt Dagger in Dilan’s other hand. It pierced through the side of her head, was twisted inside her brain when it had lodged deep inside her skull, and forcibly pulled out only moments later.

Dilan drove Balzaki into the ground to free his other hand, where a second Thunderbolt Dagger manifested.

What happened afterward was not something the Matriarch witnessed anymore, and she would never find it out either.

Her long and eternal life ended on this day, the day that was supposed to be a glorious one for her entire family, and for the entire Clan!

“It’s time for you to sleep,” Dilan mumbled quietly, and as if on cue, the matriarch’s body slumped to the ground, never to stand up again.
