Chapter 232 232: Blood Wave
The entire fifth district was covered with blood, mist and stench of flesh. Corpses of headless vampires and humans lay scattered everywhere. Thick blood stains on woods, walls, and the cracked ground. The luxurious manors previously suffered degrees of damages ranging from blasted roof, cracked walls, and some even got completely demolished.
"Hahaha! Sweet and tasty!"
Albert continued to suck the blood of Tier 8 scout with a blissful expression. Then he pulled himself out of his reverie. As a Tier 7 vampire, no Tier 8 could resist his power. He looked at the two holes in the neck of his victim and wiped the blood from his lips. "Oppss... It seems I've accidentally killed him. I would get demerit again." he grumbled.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Every time they accidentally killed their opponent. It would be bad for their record. After all, the main objective that their father gave was to convert people to vampires as much as possible. Every accidental kill was a demerit. Too much would even result in punishment or demotion to their ranks.
"Time to target those with equal realm as me and make up for it." Albert looked at the corpse with disdain. The sound of blasts and metallic clinks continuously echoed around him. It was a dreadful battlefield.
As Albert was about to kick the corpse. He suddenly felt a sense of danger from the manor behind him. He looks towards the source of danger, but there's only the shade of shadow cast by the manor.
"Enjoying the taste of human, are you?"
Albert's eyes widened as he saw a pale-skinned teenager walk out from the shade. He has green pupils, silver white hair with a distinct glow, and he wore a green cape and brown leathery clothes.
It was Caleb who had used his limited color manipulation to change his appearance a bit. He didn't want the vampires to know his actual appearance. So if they want revenge, they won't know how to find him. Well, they could find him with other methods. But at least, not through his appearance. Furthermore, he feels that his current appearance was actually cool and handsome.
What greeted Caleb was six sharp blood wings aimed at his neck. "What a rude bastard."
*Clink!* *Clink!* *Clink!*
"You talk too much human." A smirk appeared on Albert's face. He didn't even look back. 'Wait the sound seems to wrong?' this made him stop and looked at Caleb.
"Your puny wings are quite sharp. Faily suitable for scratching my back." Caleb smiled and removed the six wings in contact with his hardened skin.
Albert swallowed. "H-how is this possible? My blood wings could even penetrate the defense of enemies at the same realm as me!"
"Me? Well, why should I tell my name to a dead man?" With a chuckle, Caleb bent his knees a little, lowered his head, and gripped the hilt of his the sword that Rozho gifted to him. 'Let me try how sharp this baby is.'
"Don't be too arrogant!"
As a Tier 7, Albert has still dignity. He won't just swallow the contemptous words of lowly human in front of him.
So, he decided to teach the lowly human in front of him. He wouldn't kill him or even converr him to vampire. He'll torture the bastard until he wished that he dead. It was the price for belittling him!
"B-rank Blood Spell: Blood Wave Overdrive."
As he changed the blood spell with the use of a language unique to ancient civilization. A heavenly blood aura that contains traces of divinity erupted. It covered his entire body until there was no inch of space left.
Caleb smiled faintly seeing blood magic upclose. A trsce of decire lit up on his eyes. 'Aside from their blood abilities. They also have blood magic. It's not exaggerated to say that the vampires here had the potential to rule the world.'
Why does he think so? First of all, the long life of vampires gave them a massive advantage. For now, the vampires doesn't have resorcrs since they live underground. However, in the foreseable future. They would be able to develop their entire civilization as long as they delve in the realm os science!
Their long lives makes them perfect researchers, explorers, or a scientist!
Second, the blood magic. Apokalips and Destinies of the level aren't their match. Well, except for third variation and fourth variation of the Apokalips. Those 3rd and 4th variation had what it takes to fight enemy above their realm. Not to mention, 5 variation. Though, he haven't seen one yet.
Their blood magic seems to delve in every aspect. From defense, offense, support, etc...
Everything is said and done though. It made Caleb desire blood magic more. If he acquire what the blood magic has to offer. It would boost his strength considerably that fighting two realms above him wouldn't be impossible anymore!
Albert raised both of his hands. The blood mist on his entire body surged towards his arms to his hands. A burst of red clear light illuminated. The air slowed down and the surrounding was pressed by the increase pressure.
Small rocks exploded. The trees swayed. The remnants of manor on Caleb's back shook.
'This human is obviously underestimating me. Let me show you my power!'
Vampires feel natural sense of superiority against humans. In their views, they are far perfect creature. In terms of physique and the magic they master, they're innately strongest. Lastly, they won't die of old age. Unlike humans who only lives for a hindred years. Of course, Destinies are exception. But the increase in lifespan isn't significant enough in the opinions of vampires.
Just like that, a dazzling blood red ball fluttered on his palm. "Shitty human. Eat this! Blood wave!"
Aimed at Caleb, he pointed the bright red ball. It sent a wave made of blood. It has the characteristics of devouring everthing in its path.
Caleb appeares relax. There was no hint of panic on his face. He could feel that the wave has the power to destroy a Tier 7. However, was that power enough for his hardening?
