Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Vampiric Demi-G.o.d
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Soran moved faster and faster!
The surrounding scene went past him rapidly. Observers could only see his distorted figure. An ordinary person would not have been able to reach this speed. Even legendary professions could not.
There was a river in the middle of the Fortune of City, which was about 20 meters wide. After Soran arrived, he did not stop at all, nor did he go around the bridge. Instead, he rushed directly towards the river.
He was now running above the waters!
Even though the river was only 20 meters wide, he was running on water!
Soran’s figure appeared on the street across the river. He jumped up with a sudden stomp and left slight cracks on the ground—it was solid marble. He reached a height of nearly five stories. In the distance, you could see a b.l.o.o.d.y red tower. The sword of the Hand of Silver shone like a star; in front of him was a ghostly figure. The ghostly figure was not afraid of the power of the [Morning Star] and even matched its power.
A row of data appeared:
“Entered the realm of a demi-G.o.d!…”
“You are affected by the effect of Vampiric Feast! Triggered blood surge Test of Death!… Fort.i.tude pa.s.sed!… You’ve succeeded in counteracting the residual effects of the legendary spell Vampiric Feast.”
“You’re affected by Fear Aura!… Triggered the Test of Will!… Will pa.s.sed!… You’ve succeeded in counteracting the effects of Fear Aura!”
It was as though he had pa.s.sed through an invisible sh.e.l.l.
Soran was very familiar with the feeling of the power that enveloped the area. It was similar to the power of the avatars he dealt with previously.
A Demi-G.o.d Vampire!?
How many Sons of Fear had he killed?! Where is Vivian?!
Soran’s pupils grew redder and redder as he approached the battle area. Most of the buildings around him had been destroyed and the area in front of him was almost ruined; battles of legends were also a calamity.
Suddenly, a strange tattoo appeared.
The tattoo extended from his cheeks to his arms while also extending to his chest, ending in an eerie swirl.
As the distance from Vivian got closer and closer, his blood moved faster and faster; his heart rate had also increased threefold, while his body temperature had elevated to more than 100 degrees. Soran’s spine cracked and his figure became much taller; his slender fingers grew thicker and nails became sharp and s.h.i.+ny. He could not help but stop to emit a painful growl. When he opened his eyes, his pupils had become b.l.o.o.d.y red. The red was still expanding almost covering his whole eye.
Pa!
Soran’s figure leaped up like a rocket, jumping tens of meters in the blink of an eye. His clothes had been shredded, showing a strong but muscular upper body. Only a dark red cloak still hung on him.
He was now nearly two meters tall, with weird tattoos on his chest, and runes appearing on his arms; he even had claws. Even he could not adapt to these changes, but he had no time to think about it. He ignored it and pushed on because he felt Vivian was nearby.
Soran’s figure became unclear, leaping across the roofs; he even jumped up to a clock tower twenty or thirty meters high with a gentle leap. Any obstacle that was difficult to overcome seemed easy to him. He could even run across walls like a gust of wind. Only where he landed could his power be witnessed—marbled grounds shattered like gla.s.s as he stepped on them. Every time Soran landed, there would be spider-web-like cracks on the ground, spreading three of four meters wide. Suddenly, as if telepathy, Soran found Vivian’s position. He saw Vivian, who was now somewhat different from what he remembered. The little girl was wearing a black princess dress and had a pair of scarlet pupils.
She was looking around vigilantly seemingly because she was in battle.
There were strange shadows around her and were vague visibility. However, Soran could not see the way the shadow moved; maybe it was crossing into different planes.
The Shadow is also a legendary profession!
Vivian?!
How did she become like this? Is she Vivian or Lilian?
“Big brother!?”
The little girl opened her mouth wide and seemed surprised as if she had never expected Soran to appear. When Soran saw her, she had already noticed Soran. Although Soran’s appearance had changed, she recognized him at a glance.
Suddenly, a strange figure emerged—It was a man with a cold face. Soran seemed to have seen him before. The man raised his finger and a dim light shot out; it was directed at Vivian, who was slightly distracted.
“Energy Absorption!” [Legendary spell]
“Careful!”
Soran’s pupils enlarged as he recognized this spell. He was once tortured by it for a long time!
When he heard Vivian shout out big brother, Soran laid aside all the worries he had. He gritted his teeth and vanished almost instantly; he had escaped into the shadows. Soon the shadow behind Vivian twisted and Soran’s tall body appeared behind her. He suddenly opened his arms and embraced Vivian’s delicate body. Then he turned around and blocked the legendary spell with his back.
“Evade Sight!”
“Shadow Jump!”
All this happened in an instant, when the cold-faced man suddenly appeared behind Vivian, and then took advantage of the moment she got distracted to cast a legendary spell. Soran, seeing this, jumped into the shadows in an instant, then moved across the plane behind Vivian. He wasn’t going to kill the enemy, but to block the spell with his own body.
“Brother!… Big brother!…”
Vivian’s figure suddenly trembled even she couldn’t respond at that moment; the only thing she could feel was a mountain-like figure behind her. Soran opened his arms to protect her tiny body in his bosom and then blocked the spell with his back.
The insane negative energy burst out in an instant. Soran’s skin withered at a visible speed. The powerful negative energy eroded his flesh in the blink of an eye, transferring his Life Force and Strength to another s.p.a.ce.
In an instant!
Soran had a blank look, his face was getting old, and his blonde hair was turning rapidly into mottled grey.
“Big brother!?…No!…”
Vivian uttered a very sharp cry, followed by a wave of air bursting out around her. Her cry was filled with anger and killing intent; a large number of creatures within a kilometer of her died, and all who survived within three kilometers had blood ooze out from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Vivian turned and embraced Soran’s body. Her pupils were scarlet and pair of tiny demonic wings popped out behind her. Her pink hair ribbon disintegrated in an instant, and her long hair danced in the wind.
“Big brother!… Big brother!…”
Vivian embraced Soran’s body with her small arms. Invisible corrosive energy was eating at Soran’s body as it withered at a speed visible; he was like a withered vegetable. Soran’s gray hair gradually turned silvery white. His breathing became slower and his body had shrunk dramatically. It seemed that his whole person had become light as a feather.
A crazy amount of data appeared:
“Affected by the legendary spell [Energy Absorption]!…”
“Affected by energy erosion!… Resistance failed!… Permanently losing two Profession Level!”
“Affected by energy erosion!… Resistance failed!… Permanently losing two Profession Level!”
“Affected by energy erosion!… Resistance failed!… Permanently losing two Profession Level!”
A flow of data appeared.
Soran first lost two levels as a Shadow Dancer, followed by two levels as a Rogue; then losing two more levels as a Rogue and Wizard. The negative energy corroded his body while lowering his Life Force. Soran had now dropped eight Profession Levels and lost hundreds of hit points; sending him into a Near Death State.
His heart rate was very slow now and his breathing had stopped.
But when Vivian had transformed into a demonic form, Soran, who had already entered a Near Death State, suddenly opened his eyes!
His pupils were red again.
The red had spread to his whole eye; it was as though he had no pupil. Soran’s body was strangely suspended in the air while his whole body crackled; his muscles that had already withered swelled rapidly, his pale skin became more and tougher, the eerie tattoos appeared on his forehead. His hands turned into sharp claws and he spewed out heat waves. He looked like a demon, but not exactly a demon.
A row of data appeared:
“Powers of Divinity activated!…”
“Slaughter form activated!… Slaughter attributes activated!… The divinity of Fear had transformed into the Divinity of Slaughter!…[Son of Slaughter] awakened!…”
“Blood purity insufficient!… Activation of complete Slaughter form failed!… Divinity synchronized transformation!…”
“Demi-demon form transformation complete!…”
Time was paused at that instant.
Soran slowly opened his eyes while Vivian had a surprised look; The man was in disbelieve, in an incredible tone, he murmured, “The smell of killing! It’s the smell of a killer!… A Son of Slaughter?!…”
“Impossible!”
“How could there still be a Son of Slaughter in this world?!”
