Undying Warlord

As the Mana slash cut through the Vampires, Dilan’s eyes gleamed vibrantly.

“This is something I can enjoy,” He merely mumbled, anticipating the decision of the noble Vampires.

None of the plebeian Vampires were able to block his attack because the only Vampires, who were able to fight him to a certain extent were the nobles and the beautiful Vampire behind him.

Dozens of Vampires were mercilessly cut in half by his attack. They were still alive, but Dilan would finish them off in no time especially after witnessing the noble Vampires’ reaction.

However, what Dilan didn’t expect was that some of the noble Vampires turned into fog, prioritizing their own life. Only one of the noble Vampires was left standing in front of his wife, using all his mana and his racial strength to protect her. He faced the brunt of the Mana slash that blasted toward him.

“What a loyal husband…and how disgraceful are his sons…that’s a little unexpected,” Dilan acknowledged. The leader of the Mihorl clan was ready to sacrifice his life in order to give his wife the opportunity to survive.

It was a wasted effort of the Mihorl clan’s leader, but Dilan respected his choice and his love for the woman he had been with for hundreds of years.

Nonetheless, they had to die. Their time was over and they wouldn’t be able to harm anyone ever again. Dilan cared for their love for each other, but that was the highest level of sympathy he could have for them.

He dashed forward, emerged in front of the leader of the Mihorl clan, and attacked him. At the same time, the clan leader was still trying his best to block the Mana Slash.

The Mana Slash cut through the clan leader’s claws, slowly but steadily. The natural high endurance of a noble Vampire was truly frightening.

However, that was not something that prevented Dilan from attacking. In fact, it provided him with the opportunity to behead the clan leader as he was still blocking the Mana Slash, and it was too good of a chance to miss.

A new CrimsonClaw dagger had manifested in Dilan’s free hand, and he slashed out with both the Blazing Serpentine Blade and the Crimson Claw dagger.

The Blazing Serpentine Blade was burning brightly, while it was in the longsword-form, while the CrimsonClaw dagger cut through the clan leader’s neck without meeting any resistance.

When the Mihorl clan’s leader noticed that Dilan had entrapped him, he was enraged. But even then, it was impossible for him to avoid both Dilan’s second attack and to keep blocking the Mana Slash.

Thus, the moment he realized that his life was about to be taken, he made a drastic choice.

“I’m sorry…honey…” No sooner had the words left his mouth a part of the noble Vampire’s body turned into fog, including his arms, hands, and claws.

The Mana Slash that had been stopped just a moment ago was not obstructed anymore. It gained speed once again and accelerated rapidly. With eerie precision, the Mana Slash cut through the female noble Vampire’s head.

Brain matter splattered through the surroundings, which was followed up by numerous Vampires that began to scream out. Their master was in a critical state.

Her head was cleanly severed, and her body was almost cut in half as well.

However, to Dilan’s astonishment, he was still pretty sure that she was alive.

‘Noble Vampires are really built a bit differently. I didn’t expect that I would still need to cut through her heart. Her condition is extremely critical, after all…’ His thought had been pretty simple; destroying the Vampire’s head equals their death.

Noble Vampires were bound to be different but without their brains, their bodies shouldn’t be able to work. At least that was what it ought to be.

“You guys are funny. One of you killed your wife, just to stay alive for a few more seconds?” Dilan asked in a steely voice, clearly aware of the fact that she was not dead yet.

His respect for the clan leader disappeared completely, and he felt nothing but disgust for this noble Vampire.

He released the serpent-form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade as a reaction, covering the entire remaining manifested upper body of the noble Vampire with it as it cut into his flesh.

The noble Vampire was burning and writhing in pain but Dilan couldn’t care less about that.

“Your ability would only work if you guys are not touching another living being, such as claws digging in my flesh, or as long as you can prevent metal from entering your body. You can’t turn into fog with either of those conditions, can you? But it looks like I figured out your weaknesses even before you guys could finish me off.

Isn’t it a shame, you just lost your wife after you tried to save her, just to abandon her at the end of the day?” Dilan smiled coldly, his voice making clear that he didn’t want anyone to answer his question.

“But it’s funny, even your sons abandoned you and your wife…well, maybe it’s just in their genetics, who knows?” While saying this, he pierced through the skull of the clan leader.

“I wonder if tearing out your Blood Essence and absorbing it will kill you,” Dilan said, his expression changing at once as his hand holding the dagger dug deep inside the living Vampire’s head.

He continued to scream at the top of his lungs, but Dilan didn’t even flinch. He tore the clan leader’s brain out of his head and looked at it for a moment.

Squishing it with his fingers, he saw the brain burst, leaving behind only the Blood Essence, which Dilan wanted to absorb immediately.

However, something was wrong and a notification appeared right in front of him.

[Purified <Gold> Blood Essence of Tier-1 Level 22 Blood Walker(Vampire) cannot be absorbed. The ‘Blood walker(Vampire)’ has yet to die!]

“Oh? It doesn’t work?” Dilan thought in interest. The clan leader’s head slumped to the ground, and it looked just like he had died.

Without a brain, one couldn’t do anything, and it was just the head of the noble Vampire could repair it. And to the clan leader’s misfortune, it was impossible for him to turn his upper chest into fog after Dilan had pierced his neck.

Thus, the moment Dilan pierced the Mihorl clan leader’s heart, he died, entering eternal rest.

After living for almost 1000 years, the leader of the Mihorl clan had died…at the hands of a mere human, the same existence they had terrorized in the shadows…for a whole millennia!

He had lost count of the number of humans who had been sucked dry by him, or how many hearts he had torn out of the body of living humans. However, what the Mihorl clan’s leader would clearly remember for eternity were the sky-blue eyes of the human being who had killed him.

It was the last thing he saw before everything in front of his eyes turned black, only for his heart to stop beating a moment later as well.

He had died, just like that. There was no great fight or struggle that he could have had the satisfaction of losing gloriously. All of his great plans were shattered, just like that.

A single human had shattered all of his plans, by entering his lair, by killing his people, and by ending his life as well….as if it was as easy as taking a mere walk in the park.

Dilan wouldn’t call it a walk in the park. Despite his horrifying appearance and the fact that his eyes were ice-cold, radiating terrifying danger to every single existence in his surroundings, he looked excited.

Others may not be able to sense it, but Williams and the others could clearly tell that Dilan was extremely excited to fight. His battle spirit was higher than ever before, and the adrenaline that pumped through his veins made him feel like he could tear down an entire building with a single punch.

“Now it’s time to end the wife.”
