Chapter 475 – Master of Blood
Iona proudly sets out to deal with Vlad alone.
The mischievous smile on her lips stiffened as soon as Yandel and the others were out of sight.
It’s natural. Io, she knows Vlad as well as I do, and no one is afraid of him.
Yandel also knows a lot about Vlad… At best, it’s just past background and strategy. She told him that Vlad was nothing more or less than a mid-boss to hunt.
But Iona is different. From the moment she became a vampire, Vlad was a living legend in the vampire world and a nightmare on the continent.
She has heard of Vlad’s feats since she was young, and it is Iona who knows full well how great they are.
Vlad Draculea is a man who is said to be closest to Jinjo due to the fact that he became a vampire himself, his overwhelming ability to manipulate blood flow, and the purity of Jinhyeol that he increased by eating his clan members.
True ancestor.
There have been rare beings who have achieved transcendence by honing the power of the race itself, such as the divine beasts or spirit beasts that became the progenitors of the beast-human race.
Jinjo is that kind of being to vampires.
An unidentified being who is the progenitor of vampires, a race that cannot be born naturally. However, he is expected to have thicker blood than anyone else.
Although most of them are now pegged to death, to vampire fundamentalists, Jinjo was like a god.
Just as the beast people are trying to refine themselves and reach the same realm as the divine beasts, the vampire’s long-cherished wish at one time was to purify the blood to be thicker and purer and reach the true ancestors, the origin of the race.
In other words, Vlad was the most powerful vampire of all time, and because of his long lifespan, he never died and is still a living monster.
Of course, you have to be afraid to face a guy like that.
But even so, Iona’s steps did not stop.
“I have to do it.”
Because it has to be done. If she doesn’t come forward here, her beloved student will be in danger.
Iona suppressed the fear that had been engraved on her through years of learning and raised the corners of her mouth again.
More awkward than before. But she had a clear smile on her face when she arrived right in front of the castle.
Not all of the territory’s citizens passed through the teleportation gate, but at least enough time had passed for most of the people living in the outer castle to enter the inner castle.
The empty street had a familiar yet unpleasant atmosphere, and at the end of the street was an opponent that Iona had to fend off. Vlad Draculea was walking.
Gray-white hair neatly combed. It must have been caught by Ajidahaka’s paws, but the suit had no wrinkles. Her man, with his old-fashioned mustache, was walking towards her right.
Anyone can see that he looks calm, like a noble walking around his territory. But what he held in his hand was not a luxurious cane.
“Uhm. “I ate it in a hurry, but it still wasn’t that good.”
Because one person, Young Ji-min, who could not evacuate, was caught. It looked terrible, with more than half of its head torn off.
However, despite the miserable condition of the body, there was no trace of blood splattered.
A sense of discomfort that even on the well-maintained street, Vlad’s clothes and mouth, and even the wounds on the corpse were extremely clean.
It was proof that Vlad’s dominance was great… Iona, who had already made up her mind, did not even glance at such things and blocked Vlad’s path.
“Stop, stop. From here on, entry is prohibited except for those involved.”
“Hmm?”
Vlad stops and looks at Iona. A smile of admiration appears on his lips as he glances at her.
Vlad roughly throws away the corpse he was holding in one hand and lightly adjusts his clothes. He then gives an old-fashioned greeting by placing one hand on his chest.
“Nice to meet you. Such a strong scent of blood. Most likely, you are also a comrade walking the same path as me. “Are you really Miss Iona Francesca, who is famous these days?”
“… What. “You’re a completely different person than when you came in after breaking the shield, right?”
“Hmm. At that time, I was a little excited and my words came out harshly. Please understand. Rather, could you please answer my question now?”
“That’s right. “I am Iona Francesca.”
“That’s right. “Any person should know manners.”
His benevolent smile and satisfied voice make it hard to believe that he is a crazy person who just killed a person.
At this, Iona’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but before she could say anything, Vlad opened her mouth first.
“I don’t know what the source of blood you pursue is, but it’s always nice to meet a junior who walks the same path. But unfortunately, now is not a good time. “We can talk later, but can you please leave for now?”
“That’s troublesome.”
Even the mischievous facial expression that I worked hard to create. An infinitely serious and sharp look that has put aside all comical tone.
Iona, with her blood-red eyes flashing, raised her magic power.
“Vlad Draculea. You can’t get past this. “Because I won’t let that happen.”
“Ho…”
Vlad nodded at Iona as if he was once again impressed by her magic. He spoke as if he was a little troubled, but couldn’t hide his excitement.
“I’m asking just in case, weren’t you attached to a young man named Yandel to study the blood of a great race? “If that’s the case, I can promise you plenty of samples.”
“…”
“Indeed. I guess I was wrong from the beginning. Haha! A vampire who loves humans. “How is it any different from a snake loving a frog!”
Vlad’s eyes began to turn red, creating a strange atmosphere.
Just as Iona awakened her ability to paralyze as her level as a vampire rose, Vlad also discovered her new ability.
Blood soul.
Eyes that allow you to see through anything related to blood, and that allow you to manipulate blood flow beyond your abilities at a moment’s notice.
It was the result of his obsession with blood, and it was the final piece that allowed Vlad, who possessed a large amount of pure blood, to fully demonstrate his capabilities.
The corners of Vlad’s mouth were grotesquely torn, as if he were declaring that he would be sincere. His mouth was torn right below his ears, and his teeth were excessively sharp.
Vlad’s nobility from before was gone, and his face looked like a blood-crazed monster.
“There is no reason to respect you unless you are a junior following the same path as me. “I will make sure to drink the blood you have collected.”
Vlad’s wrist opens itself and bleeds. However, the strangely shining blood drop does not fall to the floor, but hovers in the air and wraps around Vlad’s arm. And.
By shaking off his hands, the blood surrounding him was blown out.
Paang!
Two blood-red half-moons splitting the atmosphere at a speed that was difficult to follow with the eye.
Is it because it is not ordinary blood, but is made from highly pure blood that has been compressed and compressed again? Even though it was just fired quickly in the form of a blade without any special manipulation, it had considerable power.
Any mediocre opponent would be cut in two at once. But Iona is not such an insignificant opponent.
“Sigh.”
Breathe lightly and become strongly aware of the blood in your body. Powerful blood circulated through Iona’s entire body to every corner of her body, raising her body to a higher level.
Blood Force.
The vision that enabled Iona to become a battle mage instantly narrows the gap with Vlad.
Quaaaaang!
Iona’s hand and Vlad’s blood sword collide, and her roar resounds. No, if you look closely, Iona also has her own hands wrapped in her gauntlet made with her blood art.
Jeok-
She couldn’t bear the shock and was breaking apart.
Although her ancestral rite was broken, Iona slowly regained her bearings as she accepted Vlad’s rude greeting with ease.
The upper body is lowered so that you can run at any time. Her shoulders relaxed, and countless different weapons began to appear around Iona.
“Is it blood-scanning? It may seem like a trivial skill, but if you dig deep, there is no magic like it. “After all, the essence of a vampire lies in blood.”
“You look relaxed.”
“There’s no reason not to.”
Vlad, who maintained his twisted smile even in the face of Iona’s bloody force, continued her words.
“I knew from a moment ago that you were a vampire of a level that could stand up to me. … But that doesn’t mean you can beat me.”
Grumpy-
With Vlad’s last words, a large amount of blood began to pour from his entire body.
Jinhyeol filled the surrounding area in an instant. Vlad, who had taken control of space itself, bared her fangs at Iona, who frowned her fair forehead.
“A high-purity blood that has been refined beyond my expectations. However, isn’t the amount too small? Unfortunately, you didn’t have enough time.”
“The quantity is not enough…”
Iona snorts at Vlad’s words. That’s not entirely wrong. Although she grew up a lot, she didn’t have enough time to surpass Vlad, who had been at the top for hundreds of years.
But was that really a gap large enough to decide victory or defeat?
No way.
Iona didn’t ask me to leave her alone for no reason. She said that because she really saw the potential.
“Then just supplement it and that’s it.”
Just like Vlad before her, Iona also spread her vast blood to establish her own domain. She won’t be easily swept away by this.
However, in order to fight against Jinhyeol, Iona also had to use Jinhyeol, so more than half of her power was lost in an instant.
So, I took out one of her blood transfusion packs that I had already saved from her space and asked.
Joooook-
“?”
Vlad paused for a moment with a puzzled expression. Drinking blood like a potion is a common practice for vampires, so it could be so.
But what kind of harmony is there between Iona, who has regained her true blood despite the small amount of it, and her luscious scent that wafts even to her own place, which is far away from her?
Seeing Vlad’s puzzled gaze, Iona raised the corners of her mouth with a smirk and put back the blood transfusion pack she had finished drinking.
“Why. “Is this your first time seeing me drink blood?”
“No, what is that…” What kind of blood is this? .”
While the other women were taking Yandel’s semen whenever they were bored. Whenever I got the chance, she would draw Yandel’s blood.
Thanks to this, she was able to pile up a bunch of blood transfusion packs in her subspace pocket.
The blood transfusion pack containing the dragon’s blood that Vlad so desperately wanted.
Iona, her arms brightened again, held a long blood spear in both of her hands.
“If you ask me, are you good at meeting men?”
“…”
Did you say that couples resemble each other? The grumbling reminiscent of Yandel was a bonus.
