Chapter 66: Serving as Reinforcements (3)
[Mission 12] Destroy the vampire lord's clone and the Jewel of Darkness.
-Compensation: Experience, 6000 nodes, 20 large moonstones.
At that moment, the 12th mission appeared.
It was one more reason to kill the vampire.
A strange light then gleamed in the man's eyes.
"Huhuhuhu, lowly slave! Your blood is mine! Now give your blood to your master..."
The man's eyes widened and Kang-jun frowned slightly.
Lowly slave! Blood! Blood!
The same sound kept entering his ears, so he really felt like he had to give his blood.
However, Kang-jun soon recovered his spirit.
This was the vampire's unique bewitchment!
The vampire lord's clone could also use bewitchment magic.
But just like Heksia's alter ego, Kang-jun was only slightly shaken up and escaped from it easily.
This was the special ability given by the wyvern wing, his sovereign token.
-Immune to fear and deception
Kang-jun placed a hand on his chest.
'It looks like bewitchment magic doesn't work on me. Without the wyvern ring, something bad would have happened. '
On the other hand, the man didn't know Kang-jun had such a thing and had a calm smile on his face.
He was convinced that Kang-jun had been caught by his bewitchment as Kang-jun wasn't showing any contrary signs.
He didn't want to drag the fight out for too long.
For that reason, Kang-jun didn't show any expressions.
Seuk. Suuk.
The man leisurely approached Kang-jun.
"Kuhuhuhu! Fresh blood! It is dedicated to me! Lowly slave!
Once he was three metres away from Kang-jun...
At that moment, Kang-jun's sword glowed.
Flash!
It flashed from the man's head to his crotch.
"Kuheok! This!"
At that moment, the man disappeared and showed up 30 metres away.
"Kuooh! T-this isn't possible!"
A line of blood descended from the man's head to his crotch. The blood that was dripping down gradually became thicker.
Jjeok!
That wasn't the end of it. As the line of blood deepened, blood started flowing out like a fountain.
"Kuaaak!"
The man's complexion became pale and he staggered.
Kang-jun clicked his tongue with amazement.
He was able to make the Heavenly Cut but the man's body wasn't cut in half.
'As expected from the vampire lord's clone, he has high defense. '
The power of Heavenly Cut was strengthened by the Ghoul Lord's Heart.
Even the giant tentacle monster had been cut in half. None of the evil spirits or creatures he'd met since then had survived the Heavenly Cut.
Still, the vampire was half dead.
The centre line of the human body was where all the important parts were gathered.
That area was cut.
'It is impossible for a normal person to survive. '
Kang-jun approached the man swiftly.
He would use Heavenly Cut as long as the opponent was formidable.
However, the man's body disappeared as soon as Kang-jun approached. He once again appeared 30 metres away from Kang-jun.
"Kuooh! I can't believe it. A mere human sovereign..."
The man staggered but didn't collapse. This was due to a vampire's unique survival skills.
However, Kang-jun also seized this opportunity. He used Aura of the Wind to increase his movement speed and rushed toward the man.
Sususu.
The man disappeared once again but this time, the distance decreased to 25 metres.
'His strength is falling. '
He was getting pushed back. Kang-jun headed toward the man once again.
It was at that moment.
"Strange. Why aren't those guys protecting the mansion?"
"There was a bunch of magicians in this area earlier."
"Ah, over there. The Jewel of Darkness is there!"
Five people entered mansion's garden.
They were sovereigns from the 438th Army.
They had already passed through the outer defenses of the mansion and died twice. That was due to the attacks of the magicians at the entrance.
So this time, they decided to come together with all of the strongest ones.
There were five sovereigns including the total sovereign, Radel.
The vampires in the mansion were strong but they were also jealous that other sovereigns had come as reinforcements. They couldn't lose their achievement points to the sovereigns from other armies.
They had to destroy the Jewel of Darkness!
So, it was common sense to band together.
However, their appearance brought disaster to Kang-jun.
The eyes of the vampire fleeing from Kang-jun shone with joy at the sight of the new sovereigns.
"Aack!"
One sovereign fell down and the man stood there, licking his lips.
"Kuhuhuhu! Praiseworthy people! You will be my blood sacrifices."
"Cough!"
Another sovereign was dragged away. The man's injuries had recovered fully.
Kang-jun had no time to stop him.
He was able to move fast with Aura of the Wind but the man moved toward the sovereigns a lot faster.
Chwaaak!
A white web emerged from the man's hand and wound around the three surviving sovereigns.
"Ohh!"
"T-this!"
Three sovereigns, including the total sovereign, Radel, were tied up helplessly.
"Kukukuk! You wait there for a while. I want to eat you straight away, but I'll save you for recovery."
Human sovereigns were better than potions for him.
"Ugh! Cheeky sovereign! Now, I will get back at you. I will kill you slowly and painfully."
The man approached with a pair of daggers in his hands. His movements were completely different from before.
"I feel more comfortable when you come out like this. It isn't as tiring as dealing with someone who keeps running away."
Kang-jun smiled like he was pleased.
Of course, inwardly he was thinking something different.
'Why did they have to come along now?'
He had been winning. It was like having a table of food laid out, only to have ashes sprinkled on it.
So, it was natural to feel upset.
But it had already happened.
Now, he had to think only about winning against the vampire lord's clones.
Pak! Papak!
Daggers were headed toward him. The man had thrown them from a distance of 10 metres.
Chang! Chakang! Cha chang!
The man's attack was quick but Kang-jun blocked them all.
This was because his level had risen to 27 and Heaven's Blood Sword Style had also become stronger.
Kang-jun was like a swordsman who practiced the sword for a long time. His two feet naturally shifted to maintain the most stable posture when wielding the sword.
The man started wielding his daggers at a crazy speed.
Papapat!
Chachachang! Chachachachang!
Kang-jun received all the attacks and unleashed a skill at the same time.
'Heavenly Cut!'
Flash!
However, this time the man moved away like he was prepared for it.
He couldn't avoid it completely, so one arm was bloody and tattered.
"Kuooh! A really disgusting guy."
The man disappeared again and after he appeared, there were screams.
"Aack!"
"Kyaaak!"
The sovereigns became bloody quickly.
After absorbing the blood of two sovereigns, the man grew by a meter. The muscles of his body swelled up and a dark red light glowed like flames in both eyes.
"Kukukukukuku!"
The man glanced at his last remaining recovery pill.
"Ohh!"
A sovereign was tied up and couldn't move.
He was Radel, the total sovereign of the 438th Army.
The others were dead and he alone remained.
Radel wondered why the vampire had left him alone.
Would he be spared?
However, that ridiculous thought disappeared as soon as he saw the vampire licking his lips.
'Kukukuk! Wait a moment. You are the most delicious prey that I will eat later. '
That voice had then entered his ears.
Saving him to eat at a later time!
Radel sighed.
The strongest of the 438th Army was in this sort of situation.
Of course, he didn't feel complete despair.
He had already died twice at this mansion, so there was nothing special about dying again.
It was just a shame that his achievement points would be reduced.
However, there was something else that made him feel despair.
A mysterious presence that was powerful enough to not get pushed back by the vampire but rather, injured him instead!
Lucan, the total sovereign from the 439th Army!
The sovereign name glittered on his chest, so it wasn't hard to guess. He was a total sovereign like Radel.
'Lucan! What is he? I heard that everyone became a sovereign at the same time, so how can he be so overwhelmingly strong?'
Lucan's power was in a whole different dimension. It was at that moment that Radel, who had reigned over the 438th Army, felt his pride being crushed.
Meanwhile, the battle between the man and Kang-jun had started again.
Chakang! Kaaaang!
'Ugh! Shit!'
The man increased his strength several times like he was in a berserk state, so Kang-jun was pushed back.
Kakakaang! Kukang! Kwaang!
There was an explosion every time the daggers and sword collided.
Flash!
There was a glow from the Heavenly Cut! However, the man knew the attack was coming and crossed his two daggers together in a cross shape.
Kwaang!
There was a loud sound. The man took two steps back, but Kang-jun was also pushed by the recoil.
'A monster took on the Heavenly Cut directly. '
Additionally, the man didn't seem to receive much damage. Kang-jun used Heavenly Cut continuously.
Flash! Flash!
Kwaang! Kakakaang!
The man kept his daggers crossed. There was blood at Kang-jun's mouth but the man was fine.
Jjejejeok!
Furthermore, the Warrior's Sword started to crack a little bit.
'This!'
It was a rare grade weapon but even that had a limit.
If this situation continued on, his blade may break. The odds of that happening weren't zero.
"Huhuhu! Take this!"
The man started counterattacking as Kang-jun stopped moving.
Kakakaang! Kakang!
Kang-jun was pushed back every time the daggers flew.
There was a shock from the damage and his health declined.
Health: 599/710.
Of course, the damage wasn't that much. It was due to the strong defense of the Ghoul Lord's heavy armour.
'Aura of Earth!'
Kang-jun waited for the timing of Aura of the Wind to disappear and switched to Aura of Earth.
He gave up fast movement speed and used Aura of the Earth to increase his defense!
As the Warrior's Sword and Aura of Earth combined, his defensive power rose rapidly.
This had been the method he used to fight the ogre, Germuz, in the past and he'd defeated Germuz.
Now that it combined with the power of a legend rated armour, his defense was much more powerful.
Kang! Kakang!
It wasn't surprising that he didn't receive any damage. It was easier to push back the dagger with his sword and fight back.
Kang! Kakang! Chwack! Chwaack!
"Kuuack!"
The sides and chest of the man were covered with blood. The injuries weren't due to a skill but were instead caused by pure swordsmanship.
Kang-jun's capabilities revealed the gaps the enemy had, making it hard for the man to evade the attacks.
Chwack! Chwaack! Chwaaaak!
Kang-jun's sword cut the man. Once there was a gap, the man wasn't able to escape. The man's body became bloody again.
