Chapter 277 Noble ability
When he saw the otherworldly beautiful vampire standing behind all the other vampires, bloody ice spikes surrounding her, Dilan felt a little bit astounded.
While he was excited to kill everyone around him and to make use of the opportunity that was unveiled in front of him, he had no intention of killing this woman.
She seemed to be the most dangerous, but Dilan could only smile as her lips moved,
-Behind you, Dear~-
The beautiful female Vampire didn’t say a single word out loud. Nonetheless, Dilan could understand everything she said.
Dilan turned his body in a swift motion, where he saw that the four Noble Vampires had turned into fog. The fog shrouded the entire small circle that had formed around the area where he and Goliath had fought before.
All of a sudden, one of the noble Vampires appeared right next to Dilan. He pierced out with his claws that gleamed crimson.
Dilan lifted his eyebrow when he saw this, and his danger senses told him that something was odd.
Thus, he disappeared in a gust of air and reappeared ten meters ahead.
‘Looks like it was a good idea to keep these boots,’ Dilan thought with a faint smile on his lips after he had used five units of mana to activate [Gale].
The equipment’s ability was not that powerful anymore because it cost lots of mana in return to take a mere 10-meter jump in the direction of his choice. Nonetheless, their gains were still quite big. He could evade dangerous attacks instantaneously.
“So…turning into fog is the ability which you gained as nobles? No wonder, I thought you guys were weak,” Nial provoked, keeping his smile.
After activating [Thunder Step] once again a thunderous sound came from him as electric currents covered his boots. A moment later, Dilan disappeared from the position he had ended up in. He turned in a purple flash and emerged in front of the Vampire, who had just attacked him.
Without hesitation, Dilan slashed the CrimsonClaw daggers at his opponent.
However, instead of feeling how the daggers dug deep into the noble Vampire’s flesh, the Vampire turned into fog once again.
It was nearly at the same time that the three other noble Vampires appeared around Dilan. One was on each side, while the last one was behind Dilan.
With a swift motion, Dilan activated the weakest form of [Aegis’ Shield] to summon it near his neck. Simultaneously, he slashed out to each of his sides.
His action was smooth and almost as if he had predicted where the Vampires would attack him next.
The CrimsonClaw daggers collided with the claws of the Vampires on his side, preventing them from injuring him.
But it was his misfortune that he miscalculated the attack of the Vampire behind him.
He had predicted that the Vampire would try to pierce his neck so as to kill him immediately.
This was not the case as it looked like the Vampire behind him wanted to disarm him. Clashing out with both claws, the Vampire caused deep gashes along the side of his shoulder blades. His entire upper back was cut open, which made it difficult for Dilan to move.
However, just when the Vampire behind him was about to retract her claws from Dilan’s back to use her racial ability, Dilan’s feet kicked back.
His body was leaning forward, pulling the Vampire slightly forward as her claws were still stuck within Dilan.
‘How can he still move? Doesn’t he feel the pain?’ The noble Vampire was shocked, but she didn’t feel any mortal danger from Dilan.
Thus, she was not in a hurry to retract her claws because Dilan had injured himself even more by moving with a blinding speed.
Only when she saw Dilan’s boots did her heart skip a beat.
“Fuck,” the Vampire cursed out, as a wide and flat blade cut through the Vampire, from her lower body straight to her upper body.
Blood spurted through the surrounding, and everybody was left speechless for a minute. Even the otherworthly beautiful Vampire was slightly astonished but she quickly recovered.
“A blade inside the sole of his boots? That is…unique,” She mumbled, licking her lip seductively as she added, “…and hot~”
Dilan felt extreme pain in his back but he knew that he couldn’t stop moving. He had to counterattack, which was what he had done by inserting mana in the [Aeris’ leather boots]. They had been altered by Old Jeff, thereby adding razor-sharp and thin blades in their soles.
As long as Dilan used a tiny bit of mana, the blades would pierce out. They were durable and sharp enough to injure Dilan. After all, they were made out of the claws of the EmeraldClaw Bear!
‘Fortunately, the noble Vampire’s claws are not as sharp,’ Dilan could only think thankfully. He had made a big mistake by believing that a single [Aegis’ shield] was enough to block the third Vampires’ attack.
It was not as if they were mindless monsters. His mistake had almost cost him his life, and that was certainly not funny.
When he kicked one of his feet backward, he used the momentum to lean forward as well. The Vampire was pulled forward a bit, providing Dilan with the perfect opportunity to cut her into two pieces.
[Bracing Pain] amplified all of his stats by more than 20% owing to the damage his body had faced. This increased his strength further. When his terrifying high Agility was added in terms of momentum, only a quarter of a second passed before Dilan’s attack was completed.
He had cut through the Vampire!
Her claws loosened as she lost her grip on Dilan’s back. However, this was certainly not an advantage. Dilan twisted his body, ignoring the pain that swept through him.
The Vampire saw a terrifying expression on the face of the young man, whom she had assumed to have been injured severely.
“I wonder what the Blood Essence of a noble feels like!” Dilan exclaimed, his eyes gleaming in greed.
But despite feeling greedy, he was not stupid. The other two Vampires had disappeared after their clash, turning into a fog. Meanwhile, there was no sight of the oldest Vampire.
He was still in the fog as well.
It almost looked like they were ready to sacrifice the only female Vampire of the noble Mihorl clan. This stupefied Dilan for a moment.
‘No, they won’t sacrifice her!’ Nial concluded, not believing that anyone was capable of sacrificing their mother, and wife for the sake of defeating an opponent.
Dilan was deemed a weaker race as well. It would be a disgrace for the entire noble clan if one of their members were to be killed by a human being.
With that conclusion, Dilan’s smile turned much broader. One of the CrimsonClaw daggers disappeared in his storage ring. It was replaced by the Blazing Serpentine Blade that appeared in his empty hand.
Fiery flames engulfed his weapon’s blade enlarged to its 20-meter form when Dilan slashed out with it.
He cut through the fog, straight at the noble Vampire, whose body was partially cut in half. She was already healing but couldn’t move away.
That meant she would die the moment Dilan’s attack were to succeed. Everyone knew about this and many low-level Vampires began to move subconsciously. However, none of them were fast enough!
Would their master really die…at the hands of an ordinary human being, at that?
“How dare you try to kill her!” A middle-aged man snarled as he appeared in front of the cut-through female Woman. The leader of the Mihorl clan blocked Dilan’s attack. He ignored the burning on his hand and the cut of the sharp Bronze Tier-1 weapon.
“Got’ya, idiot!” Dilan retorted as he emerged right in front of the patriarch. The CrimsonClaw dagger in his other hand had pierced out.
“You have lived long enough, time to die!”
Dilan’s voice echoed through the surroundings. It was overflowing with excitement, and one could tell that he was enjoying every single bit of the fight he was in.
Nobody would be able to tell that he was actually severely injured. His condition would worsen the longer the fight would last.
But that was something Dilan didn’t care about. He would give his best even if he were to be lethally injured and on the verge of death. Fighting made him feel alive, especially killing bastards, who deserved to die!
