◈ 118. [Free Exploration] Colosseum with sparks (2)
… however.
In terms of preparing for battle with all kinds of forms. It ended too easily.
We broke into a cold sweat as we looked down at Fallen Blood, torn to shreds in front of us. what?
“The specs were definitely strong, but… .”
“Is it because he is a fallen vampire? Because it moves so simply.”
He is a former vampire with only his thirst and instinct for blood. After all, it was no different from a beast.
No matter how fast and strong he was, his movement was obvious and his actions were clearly predictable. Then it’s easy to deal with.
Junior and Damian fired from long range, and Lucas and Evangeline attacked from close range with silver weapons, and Fallen Blood did not last long and collapsed.
I shyly scratched the back of my neck with my cane. No, I got the form at best, so what is this?
“That bitch… Is there anyone stronger?”
He looked up at the stage and asked.
《… .》
The jackal looked down at us as if he had no idea, and cleared his throat.
“great! It’s time to take out the freshest and most exciting monster out of all the seasonal monsters we’ve caught this time!]
Saying that, he opened the iron grate.
Kugung… … !
[Flaming Colosseum – Wave 6]
– Defeat the enemy!
– Lv.50 Vampire: 1
– Victory Odds Ratio: 2.00 vs 2.00
Vampire!
At last, I had a real, proper vampire.
《Versus! The self-proclaimed aristocrat Taching Leech! Oh, I don’t know, now I’m too lazy to introduce myself! Go out and fight and search for it! Fallen Vampire! Bernato~~~!]
Quietly. okay.
What appeared before long… … It was a young man whose entire body was chained.
Her skin was pale, and her hair was blue and curly. And his eyes were red like blood.
《Ugh… … .》
The vampire Bernato, dazzled by the lighting in the stadium, exclaimed when he saw a jackal on the stage.
“Such a fucking jackal! Do you think you will be able to stay safe even after doing this?!”
“Ah? What are you saying?”
“The reason why you are allowed to play house in this arena is because the great corps commanders condone your existence!”
Bernato punched his chest with his hand.
“But I am the family of the great nosferatuicin Lord Selendione! You dared to touch me and make me look like this, so the monarch will surely judge you-”
Fuhuak!
Bernato, who was about to say more, suddenly flew off his arms.
Blood was splattered everywhere. Bernato, unaware that his arm had been cut off, made a stupid noise.
《Huh?》
Suddenly, the jackal was pulling out a dagger in each hand.
He pulled out his dagger at an invisible speed and fired an invisible slash, cutting off the vampire’s arms.
《Shut up your mouth that stinks of iron, you filthy bloody bastard.》
《What-what-》
《If you were caught by me and brought here, you are just an expendable item here at the Jackal Colosseum. No matter where you are in your family or whoever’s ass you’re under – I don’t care!]
The Jackal pointed the dagger in his hand at Bernato.
“Next time, I’ll blow off the head. Fight straight if you know! Grind garlic in the mouth before feeding it full! Do you understand?!”
“Kuh… !]
Bernato, trembling, turned away from the jackal and looked in our direction.
Blood flowed between the two arms and the torso that had fallen on the floor, and then the arm spontaneously floated into the air and attached itself to the body.
“I don’t know where you guys come from, I haven’t checked your bloodlines, and I don’t even have an appetite right now.”
Bernato moved his fingers to make sure his arms were properly attached, then bared his fangs at us.
“I must kill you guys. If you don’t resist, I’ll let you go comfortably at once.”
“Oh. I am very grateful for that.”
I grinned as I twirled the staff in my hand.
“I will tell you in advance. we’re gonna kill you And if you don’t resist, you’ll be in trouble, so struggle with all your might.”
《What?》
“It’s my first time facing a vampire in real combat. Shouldn’t we get some experience too?”
Bernato looked like he didn’t understand what I said.
Well, from the point of view of a vampire, humans are like juice bottles on display in a supermarket.
When the juice bottle says, ‘We’re going to kill you too,’ I understand that you’re stunned.
But a vampire friend. Right now, the odds of winning are 50/50, even the goblin voters.
It’s time to smash your head in a juice bottle.
“Come on guys. Then, before dealing with him.”
I turned to the party members and raised my staff slightly.
“Will my palms fit after a long time?”
As soon as I said it, Lucas, Evangeline, and Damian stood side by side and held out their palms to me.
“… ?”
Only Junior could not accept the current situation and looked at us with cold eyes.
“What are you doing right now… ?”
match! match! match!
I slapped the palms of the three with quick movements and smiled sinisterly at Junior.
“hand.”
“yes? Ah yes?”
“are you okay. Pain is temporary, joy is… … It will take about three minutes.”
“Wait a minute, I don’t like that corporal punishment- Oh, it stings?!”
match!
[Intermediate buff won!]
[Jupiter Junior (SSR) gets a ‘20% increase in property damage for 3 minutes’ buff!]
“… uh?”
Junior made a bewildered expression when he checked the buffs on himself.
Lucas, Evangeline, and Damian simultaneously um-yin towards such a junior! and nodded.
Is it because of my mood that the expression on my face makes me feel like ‘It’s delicious?’
“Uh huh?”
The color of the elements floating around Junior suddenly deepened. The buff seems to take effect right away.
I whispered softly to Junior.
“It’s only once a day, so don’t try to get hit too often.”
We should avoid becoming dependent on buffs, but above all… … Because this is a bit perverted!
***
Vampires fight in two ways.
The first is blood magic.
Any ability related to blood is called blood magic.
It is the ability to use one’s own blood and the blood consumed from others.
Most of all the bizarre and powerful abilities that vampires use are blood magic.
Second is the body.
It is the overwhelming regenerative power far beyond common sense and the strength of the body that is manifested in the physical that is clearly superior to humans.
Many vampires train themselves in weapon handling.
The weapon wielded with that superior body possesses ferocious power in itself.
Anyway, to put it simply, there are two types of skill trees, and most vampires focus on one of the two skill trees.
Even if only one of them reaches the stage, it becomes a monster that boasts disaster-level power.
But unfortunately, Bernato.
«Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!»
It seems that he neglected to practice blood magic and physical training.
When Bernato collected his blood and tried to use some kind of magic, Junior interfered and turned it into nothing.
That said, if he was ahead in physical confrontation, it wasn’t that, so his hand-to-hand combat skills were at a lousy level.
The whole body is being hacked in front of Lucas and Evangeline’s pincers.
It sounds like you’re winning easily.
“… .”
Not necessarily.
The innate regenerative power of the vampire species was terrifying.
No matter how much Lucas and Evangeline cut him down and Junior burned him with magic, Bernato quickly recovered from his wounds.
Even though silver weapons have the effect of slowing down their regeneration, it was like this.
‘How can I effectively cut off the breath of a vampire… … .’
Watching the battle from behind, I groaned.
“Can’t you see Damian’s spirit core?”
“yes. Prince.”
Damian had been looking closely to find his spirit core and shoot him, but it seemed that he couldn’t see it well even with his clairvoyant eyes.
“It feels like that vampire’s entire body is made of blood. Even the spiritual cores are not fixed, and they merge into one and then break into small pieces, repeating.”
“Hmm… .”
“Even if you snipe, they will scatter right away, so I don’t know how to shoot them.”
I brushed my chin and pondered.
‘What should I do… … ?’
When raiding vampires in the game, it was usually after the middle of the game.
Various healing-reduction artifacts were placed there, and the castle was killed by slicing them with a weapon.
But it’s still in the early stages.
There are no items as rare as the Healing Reduction Artifact, and the castle has yet to draw a weapon.
‘I can’t even take a dip… … Is there any better way?’
The battle of attrition continued without a decisive blow.
But it wasn’t just us who were consumed. Bernato also bled too much.
《Heuk… … !]
Bernato, whose complexion was visibly discolored, raised his head and looked around. Looking for a suitable opponent to vampirize?
Then our eyes met.
《… .”
“… .”
wait for a sec.
no really?
《Good blood, don’t go-!》
Bernato, his mouth wide open, rushed at me in an instant. The protruding fangs flashed terrifyingly.
It seems that I was targeted first because I had the lowest level. I’m sick of it.
‘But I mean.’
If you advertise like ‘I’m drinking blood from now on’. Of course, this side can also feed the counter.
hooked! Fufufufu!
Bernato’s fangs were about to bite my throat, and
three arrows flew into Bernato’s open mouth in an instant.
The arrowhead that penetrated the left cheek pierced through the other cheek and protruded out.
“Turn it off… Huh.]
Lucas and Evangeline rushed in front of and behind Bernato, who stopped moving for an instant.
hooked!
Woowook!
Lucas’s silver sword stuck in Bernato’s stomach, and Evangeline’s silver spear stuck in his back.
The moment I saw that scene, an idea flashed through my mind.
“Lucas Evangeline! Don’t retrieve the weapon, leave it embedded in his body and leave!”
Lucas and Evangeline executed my order as soon as they heard it. I put down my sword and spear and quickly detached myself from Bernato.
“Junior!”
I hurriedly ordered Junior.
“thunderbolt! Is that possible?!”
“aha.”
Curling… .
Thunder roared and Junior laughed bashfully.
“I see what you mean.”
Quguaguagwang-!
The next moment, lightning struck.
A lightning bolt guided by a silver weapon embedded in Bernato’s belly burned his body from the inside out.
《Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhel
remains of vampires.
“oh.”
Then Damian murmured softly.
“I saw it.”
Push-!
A crossbow was fired from Damian’s hand.
hooked!
The silver arrow that had been shot pierced Bernato’s heart, and a small red bead was threaded into the tip of the arrow.
It was the spirit core of a vampire.
Chaeng-Grang-!
The next moment, the red orb shattered.
《Kiyaaaaaa… … Ahhh… .》
Then, Bernato slowly disappeared as smoke from the tip of his body.
Looking down at the disappearing red smoke, all the party members settled their rough breathing.
It was the first successful vampire hunt.
