I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Now he was seized by an urge to go out and buy lottery tickets. If by randomly plundering a group of refugees he could encounter someone of this caliber, would he bring back a giant dragon if he went a couple more times?

Had this Blasphemer been in full strength, he would have been able to walk freely even in Green City.

Fortunately, the other party had suffered a heavy injury and his strength had dropped to level 12, which he could just barely handle for the moment.

“This lord, I have no ill intentions towards the revered Holy Light Bloodline,”

Emi stood up, his expression completely different from when he faced Porter, his face filled with an innocuous smile.

A hint of coldness flashed through Lide’s eyes.

No ill intentions?

How could he not realize after seeing Emi that he was the true schemer, how could a level 3 rogue possibly have the courage to face the powerful Bloodline?

Only with a boss like this backing them could they have the audacity to plot rebellion, right!

“Your Excellency, I can feel your sincerity, and I hope you can share a drink with me to resolve any misunderstandings,” Lide said with a faint smile.

Emi nodded, his face beaming, “I hold the utmost respect for the Holy Light Bloodline, and I would be honored to be your friend.”

After saying those words, Emi took a few steps forward.

Just as the atmosphere inside the house seemed amicable, a scorching Fireball erupted from Lide’s hand~

And at the same instant, Emi’s figure vanished from the spot.

Thud~ Flames scattered in all directions.

The moment Emi’s figure disappeared, a loud explosion resonated inside the house, blasting several holes in the floor and waves of heat surged.

Lide watched Emi disappear, his complexion changing as he ignored the others and dashed outside the house.

He knew very well that a boss character who bore the title Blasphemer wouldn’t surrender so easily.

From the moment they met, it was impossible to resolve things peacefully, and he would not allow anyone who knew about Dawn City to leave.

This Blasphemer, must die.

No matter who he was!

Second Circle Spell: Shadow Jump, a brief traversal through the Shadow Plane that allows instant teleportation across 50 blades.

After hopping through the Shadow Plane, Emi’s figure appeared downstairs, looking at the explosion and fire above, a crimson trail of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

An old wound in his chest made his steps falter.

From the moment he saw the Vampire, he knew there would be no peaceful end today.

Moving through the shadows, he was well aware of the Dark Creatures’ traits; vampires’ fierce strength and arrogance were infamous.

And were he in their position, he would never let go of an enemy who caused trouble in his own lair.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Vampire was powerful, he was not so powerful as to be completely unresistable.

Despite the severe decline in his strength, as a high-level professional who had touched the threshold of level 15, he did not fear the enemy.

As a Shadow Walker, Emi specialized in shadow-related spells, and with time, he believed he could escape from this city.

Previously he was unwilling to pay a heavy price to escape, but now he had no choice; if caught by the Vampire, his death would be certain.

As for fighting the opponent, he wasn’t foolish. Battling a vampire in their lair, especially during the night, he wasn’t certain of winning even when in perfect condition.

Swoosh~

Lide unfolded the colossal bat wings on his back, looking like a demon descending upon the world under the chilly moonlight.

His nose twitched as he caught a whiff of fresh blood in the air.

His piercing gaze turned toward the shadow of a house.

With a flap of his wings, he soared straight into the sky.

If he allowed a Level 14 blasphemer to escape from Dawn City, he couldn’t imagine the consequences.

So, he must capture the opponent, no matter the cost.

“Harry, notify everyone, blockade Dawn City,”

His indifferent silhouette echoed in the air, and before Harrison could regain his senses, Lide’s figure had already disappeared.

Following the exceedingly faint scent of blood, Lide’s speed abruptly surged.

He had the scent of his prey.

In the night, the Bloodline was one of the most powerful Upper Races, daring to engage in combat even with a giant dragon.

Emi, hidden in the shadows, felt a chill down his spine the moment Lide began to dive.

Magic power surged into the solidified magic model within his Spiritual Sea, and in merely three seconds, a massive thunderball smashed out from his hands.

Second Circle Magic—Thunder Burst.

The thunderball, larger than a basketball, emitted a turquoise heat and light, with violent energy boiling inside as if about to explode at any moment.

Crackle~

Lide, diving down, suddenly halted in midair. It would be too much even for a vampire’s high magic resistance to take on a Second Circle Magic directly.

Emi, seeing the reckless vampire approach, felt overjoyed. There was only a short distance of thirty blades between them; the Thunder Burst would take less than 0.5 seconds to hit.

The opponent was surely doomed!

But to Emi’s disbelief, the vampire spawned two searing fireballs in his hands in just 0.5 seconds.

Bang~

The fireballs burst, and upon contact, the Thunder Burst also exploded.

Crackle~ The nearby houses collapsed and ignited from the fierce shockwave and scorching air.

“How is that possible?!”

Emi’s eyes were bulging with shock. Casting spells twice instantly?!

What a joke?!

Without daring to linger, he rapidly rose to his feet, fleeing into the shadows ahead while casting a Mage Shield on himself.

Although Lide had the memories of the Blood Clan Ancestor, it was his first time in combat, so he was somewhat inexperienced and had recklessly closed in on his opponent.

A Mage’s combat should be about maintaining distance and overwhelming with magic, not rushing into the enemy’s face like a warrior.

But the unscathed Lide immediately gave chase.

He didn’t falter one bit.

He could sense that the other’s injuries were severe; not eliminating this blasphemer would have unthinkable consequences.

Emi, seeing Lide charging again, wished he could curse his mother. What kind of brute was this? Did this even resemble a Mage’s battle?

He was simply a madman!

Emi, taking advantage of the shadows, began to flee rapidly; he possessed a Talent Specialization ideally suited for escape.

Shadow Walker: A skill that doubles recovery speed within shadows and increases speed by 30%.

There were many houses in Dawn City, hence plenty of shadows.

Lide, observing Emi about to slip out of sight once more, narrowed his eyes, keenly aware of the changing terrain.

The fleeing Emi below didn’t realize that in just two short minutes, he was about to run out of the human residential area.

The southern district could accommodate tens of thousands of people, but now less than one-fifth was inhabited by humans, with large swaths of empty areas remaining.

In human-populated areas, Lide was somewhat restrained; these humans were his private property. But once in the vacant areas, all reservations ceased.

Soaring up to a height of a hundred blades, he looked down upon Emi who had just vanished.

Both hands wielded, he channeled magic power madly into the Small Fireball Skill’s magic model.

The true Fireball Gatling was activated.
