Undying Warlord

Chapter 270 Blood Essence

“Who the hell are you guys?!?” One of the Vampires screamed out when his brain had finally healed. His eyes were glowing in a bright red color and his fangs were clearly visible to everyone.

“I wonder how the existence of a Vampire has never been revealed to the public. Like…come on, he is already showing us that he is a Vampire…” Oliver sounded a little bit frustrated at the sight of the Vampire.

It was truly a shame to see how weak the Vampire was. Ailee could easily catch them, and it looked like they were not able to wriggle out of the handcuffs Old Jeff had created for special cases.

The old but wise blacksmith had specially crafted them using his vast knowledge of wands, but they had turned out fine. They could restrict one’s strength to a certain extent.

The material they were made of was also durable, and strong enough to restrict Tier-1 Ascenders with a strength of less than 50 to break out.

“To be honest, I expected more from them as well. Their stats don’t seem to be that high. I doubt that their starting stats were at 1 as well. Their inborn physique is much stronger than that of humans, after all…” Williams stated while looking at the Vampires in disappointment.

Only one of the two had woken up, while the other one was still waiting for his brain to be healed. It had been pierced twice; a light graze once and a direct frontal hit the second time.

The starting stats of <1> were the stat every single human being started with. However, Williams didn’t seem to believe that all the Vampires had their starting stats at one as well.

“It doesn’t actually matter how they started. Maybe they gain fewer stats or essences from the monsters they kill, who knows? We shouldn’t just take their stats as the average combat power of the others…well let’s exclude a few anomalies and the noble Vampires belonging to the Mihorl family.” Dilan was rather calm while stating his opinion.

Right from the moment Ailee had been pursued, he had analyzed the strength of their opponents. Clerens hadn’t been able to tell him how strong the Blood Legion was.

He merely knew their numbers, the noble Vampires’ special trait, and he could gauge a few more things.

Every noble Vampire had a special Vampire trait. Most Vampires were able to turn into bats by shifting their shape accordingly once they reached a certain age. This was a basic Vampire trait. However, noble Vampires had unique traits, which included control over one element, or something similarly powerful.

That was why he analyzed the Vampires in front of him to figure out their individual strengths.

‘Even Kuhn should be able to tackle one of the ordinary Vampires…though it might take him a while to kill them. Kuhn won’t be able to kill them quickly.’ Dilan concluded before he manifested the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

Fiery flames engulfed the blade at once, and when he slashed, only the searing hot heat and the red flash could be sensed.

“ARGGHGHH” A painful scream followed Dilan’s slash that came out of nowhere. He had cut in the Vampire’s arm, splitting open his lower arm.

It looked gruesome, and Kuhn nearly fainted after the smell of the burned flesh hit his nostrils. However, Dilan’s eyes looked merciless and unforgiving.

“Are you guys weaklings?” He asked emotionlessly as he looked at the conscious Vampire.

“You…piece of shi-!!!” Before the Vampire could finish, Dilan had slashed out again. This time he cleanly sliced through the Vampire’s calf. Dilan didn’t hesitate at all.

“Who are you calling weak, you bitch!! When I heal, I will show you how strong a higher Vampire is!!” The Vampire hissed, and he even ignored Dilan’s third slash that followed the moment Dilan was called a bitch.

“Higher Vampire. So you received a bit of blood from your Master.” Dilan nodded his head in understanding. Clerens had already told him that there were different types of Vampires.

There were Lower Vampires, Vampires, and Higher Vampires. Dilan thought that the ones in front of them were just Lower Vampires because their healing rate was much lower than that of Clerens.

“If you’re a higher Vampire, I guess the purity of your master’s blood is not that high…or the fact that Clerens is a noble Vampire is also possible,” Dilan mumbled, not minding whether someone understood him or not.

The tip of the Blazing Serpentine Blade was still stuck in the Vampire, who continued to scream in pain.

“Clerens? How is he still alive?” A new voice joined the discussion, and it was only now that Dilan noticed that the second vampire had regained his consciousness after his brain had reformed and the injury had healed completely.

“Yeah, he is still alive and kicking. Is there a problem with that? And answer me, is Clerens a noble Vampire?” Dilan’s voice didn’t leave room for doubt or rejection. His eyes were fiery and staring straight into the depth of the red glowing eyes of the second vampire.

The vampire looked at his friend, along with the injuries and burns he had sustained before he gulped nervously. In the end, he made the right choice and started to speak, ignoring his colleague’s screams.

“Clerens is a noble vampire, yes…but he should have been killed. He betrayed his own family and ran away. The Vampire hunters went after him because he took something precious from his family!”

The second vampire looked genuinely astonished that Clerens was still alive. It was almost as if he couldn’t believe how something like that was possible, to begin with. But even then, he didn’t think that Dilan was lying to him.

‘So did Clerens take something else than the Sanctum key? Hmm, no idea, maybe they don’t even know that he is alive, to begin with…’ Dilan thought, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he realized that he was a step closer to unveiling more secrets.

“This is quite entertaining,” he remarked in an amused voice before slashing out at the first Vampire once again. The first Vampire was just attempting to grasp Dilan’s ankle and tear it open when Dilan’s weapon hit him.

Blood splattered through the surrounding, dirtying Dilan’s shoes. However, instead of bothering the first vampire, Dilan turned his head toward the second vampire.

“Can you guys just sense the Sanctum key then? If not, you and the others should know that Clerens is the one holding the Sanctum key, and that he resides in the Blue Star camp.” Dilan announced, and a knowing smile flashed on his face.

Things were about to get far more interesting. From the beginning, he had not trusted Clerens but that was something even Clerens knew. However, the fact that the Sanctum keys could be perceived like a GPS signal was rather annoying.

‘Looks like my joy with Vampires will only increase. Well, maybe the Essence crystals of Vampires are better than that of humans.’

The moment Dilan thought this, he beheaded the first Vampire with a single slash. Dilan had been annoyed about the first Vampire’s behavior. It was as if he had been trying to talk to a wild animal and have an intelligent conversation with a beast.

After beheading the Vampire, Dilan waited for a few seconds. His head might get healed after all.

“You Vampires are truly confusing. To think that it’s necessary to behead ordinary vampires and that the noble ones would require even their heart to be pulled out as well or something like that… Truly monstrous, supernatural healing,” Clerens words flashed through his mind when Dilan spoke quietly to himself.

He picked up the first Vampire’s head and made sure that he was dead. Afterward, he pierced the serpentine blade in his head once again and pulled out a Bronze Tier-1 Essence crystal that had red touches on it.

“Only Bronze? Looks like it was impossible for him to get his hands on a good occupation.” Dilan smiled lightly before the Essence crystal crumbled in his hand.

His nonchalant behavior caused many to frown, including the second Vampire, who knew that he was next in line.

[<Bronze> Blood Essence of Tier-1 Level 17 Blood Warrior(Vampire) has been absorbed→ +1 Health, +0.6 Stamina]

A shocking amount of Essence had entered his body. Dilan’s eyes widened when he noticed that, and the moment he saw the increase in his stats, he could hardly contain himself.

‘What the hell?’

Dilan was shocked because his body seemed to have received an overload of nourishment. His body felt much stronger than before, and the additional stats he had gained showed their value as well.

‘That’s impossible. I shouldn’t get so many status points…’ He knew that the Cursed Blessing [Will of the Primordial] was still in effect.

Thus, it shouldn’t be plausible for his stats to increase by that much and for his body to feel an influx of so much Essence!

“Wait…Blood Essence?! What is that??” Dilan was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, the second Vampire began to smile. He inwardly thanked his colleague for dying in his stead, as he cleared his throat.

“I can answer your question, how about a deal?”
