Qiao Gun used a venomous gaze to glare at Sheyan. He tightly gripped onto the cross, his thumb brushing against the edge of the cross, slicing out a small wound. Blood gushed in, his MP frantically poured in. One could see the crystal surface of the cross breaking apart like a spider web. The black smoke within immediately rose up upon contact with the blood, spreading towards the sky and forming into a human figure. After descending, it rapidly condensed into a human figure.
A blonde middle aged European male in a black tuxedo, bow tie and mustache.
His face was a little pale, but his lips were abnormally red. He looked like he was in a sickly state. He surveyed his surroundings, before bowing slightly to Qiao Gun. With the demeanor of a 16th century European noble, he spoke.
"Although it is rude to say this, but to a traveler who has been thirsty for an entire 7 years and 2 months, being anxious to return home is a natural instinct. Thank you sire for rescuing me from that dark place. Regretfully, I have to say goodbye. " “
This male's voice was deep and melodious, listening to him speak was like playing a harp, brimming with the charm of an aristocrat.
"Stop!" Qiao Gun gasped for breath. His MP was completely depleted, his voice carried an unfathomable chill. "Mr Edward, I'm sorry you have to delay for a while before returning home. If not, not only will you not be able to return home, you will have to stay in another dark place for another 7 years and 2 months!"
Edward's expression turned gloomy, he suddenly noticed that Qiao Gun's hand was still holding onto that ancient cross! He could only shrug his shoulders.
"Well, sir, tell me your wish."
Qiao Gun pointed at Sheyan sternly.
"Kill him! Immediately! "
Vampire Edward tilted his head and looked at Sheyan.
"This person's body ….. is shrouded in the fog of fate, I cannot see through him. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that I can kill him within 5 minutes. If after 5 minutes, you still want me to act ….. "
Speaking till here, Edward suddenly revealed a greedy and secretive smile, completely destroying his noble aura. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his two incomparably sharp canine teeth and his long scarlet tongue to Qiao Gun!
"Then you have to sacrifice your own flesh and blood! If I contribute once, I can stay in this world for another five minutes. If I contribute twice … You don't need to know the answer, because by that time, you will be a dead man! "
*****
Sheyan was panting.
There were already seventeen or eighteen wounds all over his body. He seized every moment to gasp for breath, and the sound of breathing coming from his throat could be clearly heard. The vampire's attack was like a gale sweeping across, Sheyan's mere 10 points of agility was not enough, he didn't even have a chance to retaliate. He continuously rushed forward, attempting to attack Qiao Gun in an attempt to capture the leader of the bandits. The result was that he exposed a large number of openings, and instead became the target of the vampire's frenzied attacks!
But his eyes were deep, burning, and more than that, there was a kind of firmness that was like a lofty mountain.
The Phantom of the Vampire appeared beside him, its sharp nails and fangs not inferior to a sharpened blade!
Fortunately, vampires weren't known for their explosive power. Their survivability and battle recovery abilities were the hottest topic of discussion. Furthermore, there was the 40% restriction, yet Sheyan still fought with great difficulty. Even if he was facing a vampire that had been imprisoned for 86 months, even if it was an extremely weak vampire that could only engage in close combat!
From afar, Qiao Gun was already supporting himself against a tree, as though he was about to collapse to the ground. His face was filled with terrifying wrinkles, as though he had aged 30 years in an instant. In order to maintain the vampire's frenzied attacks, he actually didn't hesitate to allow the vampire to suck his blood! Furthermore, he probably had some recovery items on him, allowing Qiao Gun to struggle at death's door while standing weakly. He used a venomous gaze to observe the battle.
The vampire once again swept past like a gust of wind. The only thing Sheyan could do was to cross his arms to protect his vitals, while simultaneously leaping to the side. Still, the price he paid was exceedingly tragic. His back felt numb, as a large chunk of flesh was plucked away. Although the vampire summoned by Qiao Gun was indeed weakened by 40%, and had been imprisoned for 7 long years, it was still a monster that shouldn't have appeared in this world. It was a rank 2 legendary creature!
Every time it successfully attacked, it would take away 15 points of Sheyan's HP. Although this value didn't seem high, but after conversion, the vampire's theoretical damage was as high as 80-90 points! Because it was summoned by a contestant, it was considered a contestant's faction. Therefore, when it attacked a contestant, it would first suffer from the 40% restriction, then Sheyan's terrifying 37% damage reduction, and finally Sheyan's innate ability endurance which would forcefully deduct 25 points! That was why it was reduced to 15 points of actual damage.
If it was Diaz, he wouldn't even be able to last 10 seconds against the vampire!
"Oh … .there's still 14 seconds until 10 minutes." At present, Sheyan who was only defending and not attacking, had already endured for close to 10 minutes under the vampire's frenzied attacks. Amongst this, his advanced ability 'Grappling lvl 2' had played an important role.
In addition, even though the vampire who was already extremely weak could attack very quickly, he had been imprisoned for seven long years after all. He had to take a breather and rest for a few seconds or even ten seconds before he could attack again. Furthermore, the damage it dealt to Sheyan was too low, and it couldn't absorb too much HP. Therefore, this greatly restricted the frequency of its attacks.
Another factor was Sheyan's current HP regeneration rate of 15 points per minute. Furthermore, after drinking the 'Endless spirited vodka', his HP regeneration rate was temporarily increased by 25%. His actual HP regeneration rate was 19 points, that was equivalent to Sheyan recovering an additional 190 HP in 10 minutes!
Therefore, even though Sheyan's body was bleeding profusely, his vision was still blacking out. However, Sheyan still believed that he could win and persevere until the end!
Even at this critical juncture, the tottering Sheyan's eyes blazed with a blazing passion. His determination even carried a tinge of madness. It was as though a ferocious and untamed beast resided within his soul and bloodline. The more dangerous the situation, the more ferocious it was, the more ferocious it would appear, supporting his unyielding and undying fighting spirit and conviction! That kind of feeling was like a towering mountain that connected the heavens and the earth, impossible to be knocked down!
The back of the vampire's tuxedo swayed slightly. This terrifying creature tilted its head and elegantly shook its blood-stained index finger.
"Oh, boy, I don't like the look in your eyes, I do. “
Following that, the black elongated figure swept in like a whirlwind, as though it was sweeping in from all directions. That pair of horrifying razor-sharp claws split into two, two into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand. In a flash, it occupied Sheyan's entire vision. Following that, the thousands of claws whizzed past, dealing heavy damage to Sheyan like the previous times.
This was the only ability the vampire Edward could utilize in his weakened state. Its might was immense, the previous strike had penetrated deep into Sheyan's innards, as though it had dug his stomach out! Yet at this moment, Sheyan shut his eyes. His right hand gripping tightly onto the boning axe without the slightest trembling, he suddenly slashed towards his own throat!
"Clang!" Sheyan was sent flying 5-6 metres away, but he immediately rolled back and stood up. Three deep gashes could be seen on his throat, as blood gushed out. It was a tragic scene of having one's throat slit! In fact, it was only a flesh wound. His eyes were like two red-hot nails that pierced deeply into the vampire's body!
"I've already seen through your moves! From now on, this move of yours is no longer a threat to me! "
With a mere 10 points of agility, Sheyan actually dared to say that he had seen through the vampire's moves. This was obviously impossible. One must understand, the vampire Edward's current agility was definitely the world's upper limit of 50 points. If it was so easily seen through, then the meaning of attribute points would become a joke. The reason why he was able to successfully block was because he had grasped many details.
One of those details, was the ground.
Sheyan and the vampire had been battling for a long time. Initially, it was within the dense forest and shrubs, hence the ground was covered with withered branches and leaves, leaving no traces behind. But as the battle intensified, the vampire Edward was slowly led into the muddy path by Sheyan.
Although the vampire's agility was high, it didn't mean he was able to display his agility to tread water without leaving a trace. In fact, even if the vampire wanted to fly, he had to transform into a bat to do so. Sheyan was completely unable to keep up with the vampire's speed, but he could determine the vampire's movements from its footprints on the ground.
Furthermore, the vampire Edward had been starving for seven years and two months. The place where its greedy and thirsty gaze was fixed on was most likely the place where it would attack next. The reason was simple. It wanted to see warm blood spurt out!
Combining these two factors, Sheyan had already grasped a few vampire-fighting techniques and Edward's attacking habits. Thus, at the final juncture, he was able to grab hold of the opportunity and evade that terrifying claw attack. The reason why he said those words, was to create a false impression, causing the vampire to have an unfathomable feeling.
