Newborn vampires were very impulsive.
They still couldn't fully control their strength, especially when they had just turned from a living person to a dead person. They had to face the choice of hunting humans to survive. Many newborn vampires would enter a period of madness during this period of time, and then they would be forced to be imprisoned in the coffin for a long time. This process was called [Hiding], and there would usually be other older vampires watching over them. These older vampires would be nurtured for a period of time, either for a few years or more. When the newborn gradually stabilized and their emotions were under control, they would then be released.
This was a very difficult process.
Vampires seemed powerful, but their growth cycle was too slow. They needed to spend hundreds of years to reach the fourth grade. The newborn in front of him was actually only at the third grade. It seemed powerful because vampires were creatures with higher biological levels. They had innate attributes, such as agility and strength that were much higher than ordinary people, and they also had spell-like abilities. The one in front of Søren was a defector. She had just turned into a vampire and defected, so she lacked the survival experience of a vampire.
If a defector like her was caught, they would either be imprisoned for a period of time or directly executed!
Because defectors were uncultured people, it was easy for them to expose the vampires' tracks. Moreover, their uncontrollable thirst for blood would attract powerful enemies, which was a disaster for vampires.
The woman in front of him had already lost her initial beauty. She stared at Søren and said, "Help me? How can you help me? Can a mere human help me? "
Søren smiled inexplicably and said slowly, "It seems that you overestimate the abilities of vampires!"
"I'll stand here and not move. As long as you can force me to take a step back in three attacks, then it'll be your win. How about that? "
What an arrogant tone.
However, Søren now had to increase the psychological pressure on his target. For a newborn who only had brute force and not much skill, what he said just now wasn't an exaggeration.
The current Søren was no longer the Søren of the past. He had the ability to fight back against a quasi-Legend.
"Alright!"
The newborn vampire had a ferocious look on its face. Without hesitation, it launched an attack. It leaped onto the wall and crawled on it. Then, it pounced on Søren. Like an eagle hunting for its prey, it slashed its sharp claws at Søren's throat. It seemed like it wanted to kill him in one move. However, Søren's expression didn't change at all. He even closed his eyes and opened his palms slightly. Just as the vampire was about to pounce on him, Søren leaned back ninety degrees and dodged the vampire's sharp claws by a hair's breadth. At the same time, a cold light flashed in his hand, and with a plop, the newborn vampire fell behind him.
Søren's hands were still empty.
The newborn vampire looked at her abdomen in disbelief. There was a half-foot long wound on her abdomen, and there was frost on it. She had almost been cut open. If it wasn't for Søren's mercy, the sword would have cut her abdomen. Even with the body of a vampire, half of her body would have been cut in half. Although this kind of injury wouldn't take the vampire's life, it was enough to fill her heart with fear. She lowered her head slightly and pressed her fingers on the wound.
Søren's expression was cold and arrogant. He said indifferently, "Do you want to try again?"
The newborn vampire shook her head and said, "No need. Your Excellency. I already believe in your strength, but I don't know why you want to help me. What do you need me to do for you? "
Søren felt that his acting skills had improved a lot. Maybe it was because he had more contact with women. In the past, he only interacted with men, so his acting skills didn't improve much. Now, his acting skills had increased by at least ten points. Sure enough, dealing with women required acting skills. The basic skill of acting was surprisingly useful in many cases.
He gently moved his wrist and said slowly, "I just happened to meet you. I need something useful, and the elder who was hunting you has it. So, I want to help you kill him. As for what I need your help with, we can talk about it after you're done with your problem. "
"What's your name?"
The newborn vampire hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Ariana."
It was a bit of a mouthful.
Søren repeated it and said, "Very good. Ariana. Tell me about you. I need to judge the strength of the elder who captured you. After all, someone who can turn you into a vampire isn't easy to deal with. "
Ariana was a little hesitant, but then a trace of hatred appeared on her face, and she slowly said: "It was my sister, my cousin, who turned me into a Vampire. My hometown is in the town of Solad, and it is a down-and-out aristocratic family. My mother died early. My father has been trying to restore the family's glory. Unfortunately, he never came back after going out on an adventure. Twelve years ago, his cousin married a nobleman who was on a journey and left with him. This year, she returned to her hometown. We were very happy, but we didn't expect her to become like this. "
"She killed the others and then turned me into a vampire as a servant of her master."
"I escaped, and then I escaped to Shipwreck Bay."
What a melodramatic story.
Although the woman in front of him didn't explain it in detail, Søren could guess the process. Her cousin who turned into a vampire went on a killing spree. She seemed to have killed the other family members, and then left her, who was quite beautiful, to be turned into a new vampire servant. Vampires were creatures that were based on appearance. If they weren't handsome or beautiful enough, they would rarely be turned. Especially female vampires, most of them were above average in appearance.
"Very good."
Søren nodded slightly and said, "It seems that your cousin came to capture you. Of course, it's more likely to be her master."
"But it doesn't matter. I'll help you kill them. You'll be free from now on. "
He stood up and walked around, then said, "You'd better take a rest. This kind of injury shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, vampires have a strong regenerative ability. I suggest you learn how to hunt. Such a poor method of hunting can easily lead to trouble. "
Vampires were a very strong creature template.
They had an innate defense of + 6 and a base HP of 12, which was similar to the barbarians.
At the same time, as their strength increased, they would gain various types of magic abilities, various types of resistance, and various types of negative energy corrosion. Moreover, when they were in their higher form, they would gain a bonus of + 6 in strength, + 4 in agility, + 2 in intelligence, + 6 in constitution, + 2 in wisdom, and + 4 in charisma. In some ways, it was almost comparable to the additional abilities of a Dragon Disciple. They had a + 10 racial bonus in deceit, hide, listen, stealth, search, detection, and other basic skills.
Vampires had a base creature level of 8, and they were naturally close to grade 3.
These dark creatures didn't have many weaknesses. Many things in folklore were fake. They had shadows and weren't afraid of mirrors. Garlic was just the smell that they hated. The only thing they were afraid of was sunlight. It would greatly reduce their strength and could even kill the weak vampires. Their fatal weaknesses were their heart and brain. High-grade vampires could transform into bats and gaseous forms. They were a type of creature that was very difficult to kill.
The rest of them were similar to undead creatures. Søren had killed many of them before!
Vampires had a very important part on their bodies, and that was their spine. This was a special casting material, and it was also a key tool for the Evil Bloodline Purification.
The Bloodline Purification Ritual was a transformation of a supernatural life form. There were many special casting materials in it.
They could increase the effectiveness of the Bloodline Purification Ritual, but they wouldn't change the bloodline of their own race. There were more core materials for the Evil Bloodline Purification Ritual. They came from more than ten different sources, such as vampires, werewolves, liches, demons, devils, dragons, and so on. The simplest Bloodline Purification Ritual was directly blessed by the gods. Søren naturally wouldn't be naive enough to think that the gods would be willing to bless him. The second most convenient material was dragon blood. However, it had to be a purebred dragon, and the minimum requirement was a white dragon.
In the stories, there were many professions that became stronger after bathing in dragon blood. This was actually a Bloodline Purification Ritual.
They were still humans.
However, these people had unconsciously completed the Bloodline Purification Ritual, and their vitality had been increased by the dragon blood. This ritual was like they could have grown to this level of vitality, but because of some defects, such as insufficient nutrition when they were young, lack of training, or other defects, they didn't reach the peak of their vitality. This ritual allowed them to reach the peak of their vitality, and it might even increase their attributes that didn't grow well during their childhood due to other reasons. (The probability is extremely low!)
This was Søren's goal. He needed to stimulate the potential of his vitality through the Bloodline Purification Ritual. He didn't have the confidence to slay a dragon, and he didn't have the time to look for one. Vampires were a good substitute, and using high-grade vampires as materials to purify their bloodline would give him an additional [Sturdy] ability. After completing the Bloodline Purification Ritual, his HP would increase by at least two to three levels.
In other words, his vitality would be equivalent to a Warrior of the same level who didn't have the Bloodline Purification Ritual.
The night passed quickly.
Søren left the hotel the next day and began to prepare tools to deal with vampires. Holy water was the best thing to use, followed by other items that could restrain dark creatures. From Ariana's mouth, Søren learned a lot of information and judged that it was a small family of vampires who converted her. They used the innate control ability after conversion to enslave servants. In this regard, Ariana's willpower attribute was good. She actually resisted the mind control of the vampire elders.
Now, he just had to wait for the elders who were looking for her to appear, and then lure them to a suitable place to kill them.
