Chapter 9: Vampire
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing a large group of bats flying toward him, Lin Xuan’s expression did not change. He was mentally prepared to be attacked by the bats when he entered the Bat Cave, if not for the fact that the school’s dungeon was different from the ability user guild’s dungeon and that he did not prepare any armor, he would have started to panic.
The purple wooden shield was slightly heavy and he wore it in his left hand. His left and right hands were crossed in front of his chest and covering his face. The main reason was that this purple wooden shield was only a hand shield and its defensive area was not large. It could only be used to protect important areas.
The feeling of the attack came as expected. It was all sharp claws and a had powerful impact. Moreover, it was not just one or two, but tens of thousands of them that rained down onto him like a parade. They were like countless black bullets that came from afar, flashing past the moonlight that was shot down. In an instant, his vision was blackened.
Countless low level yellow rank bats launched suicidal attacks, crashing fiercely towards the curled-up Lin Xuan... Under such a fierce attack, Lin Xuan was still not injured at all!
When Lin Xuan realized that these bat monsters were no threat at all, he became bold! Although he could feel the nauseating feeling of these bats flying around, as long as he wasn’t too bothered by it, he carried on walking forward.
What surprised him was that his defense was much stronger than he had expected.
On the sacrificial square, there were two places that Lin Xuan was interested in. One was the sacrificial altar in the center of the square, and the other was a remote corner where a large group of bat monsters had rushed out.
One bat failed to break through the defense and received a No Damage effect and immediately died.
One by one, the bats all had the same fate, death.
The bat monster’s suicidal attack quickly came to an end. The ground of the square was covered with a layer of bat corpses. Only a few smarter bats left the scene in panic.
Lin Xuan ignored the bats that were flying towards the small corner. He glanced at the sacrificial altar that seemed to be covered in a layer of blood mist under the moonlight. He was a little hesitant. He could tell that this sacrificial altar was a little strange. If he really went up there… he might encounter some mishaps, but there might be some beneficial changes as well.
If that was the case, then Lin Xuan still wanted to complete the quest first before interacting with it. In the low level yellow rank bat monsters’ habitat, he found the best quality night illumination sand in this dungeon.
From afar, it did not seem like much. However, when he got closer, he realized that this patch of ground was emitting the brightest blue light. It was the highest quality night illumination sand. He took out the quest voucher and tossed it, the blue particles on the ground were all absorbed by it.
......
After he took back the quest voucher, it showed that the quest had been completed. Other than that, because the quality of the night illumination sand that Lin Xuan had collected this time was very high, he was also rewarded with an additional 200,000 dollars.
He could buy an ordinary rattan armor with that money now.
When he turned his head, Lin Xuan realized that something was wrong. The entire square had changed. Blood-colored patterns began to glow and then connected together. The bat corpses on the ground even turned into ashes.
The patterns became to glow more brightly. The blood fog that Lin Xuan thought was an illusion also became thicker and dispersed in the air.
Red light, a bloody mist, and a strange and mysterious sacrificial altar! What was going on!
It was obvious that this was not an unorthodox situation happening.
He tightened the purple wooden shield in his left hand and slightly regretted not buying a full set of armor before entering. Otherwise, his defense would have been stronger.
Bending his knees slightly, Lin Xuan dashed into the blood mist like a flying rocket.
Since he had fatigue points, the worst thing that would happen was to die. However, he had worked hard in completing the mission earlier. If he died now, all his efforts would be for nothing!
After entering the bloody mist, Lin Xuan felt a shiver up his spine. The blood in his body seemed to be... agitated!
Bats, blood, darkness! Everything was not going his way!
This involuntarily made Lin Xuan think of a type of dark monster — the vampire — also known as the Bats Beastman.
The only thought process Lin Xuan had was to rush into the bloody mist. What else should he do to interrupt this sacrificial ritual? It seemed like he had not thought of anything before rushing in!
Lin Xuan looked at the mysterious patterns on the floor and raised his foot to stomp on them. It was to no avail. After all, what he had awakened was not some weak monster. Although this stomp had some force, it was not enough to crush the floor tiles.
Since these glowing patterns were unbreakable, then he would deal with the mist first. The place where the blood mist first spread was at the sacrificial altar. That must be the key.
Turning his head, he took a few steps and directly climbed onto the sacrificial altar. The moonlight that shone down from above shone on Lin Xuan’s body instead, blocking most of the moonlight on the sacrificial altar. There was a stone tablet on the sacrificial altar, a red crystal, a neat cloak, and two canine teeth on it.
The source of the blood mist was coming from that red crystal!
However, just as Lin Xuan blocked most of the moonlight, the red crystal still had some moonlight to absorb!
The red crystal rolled forward along with the shadow, leaving the moonlight shining on the altar.
The mysterious patterns began to dissipate and the blood mist began to gather towards the red crystal. With the crystal as the core absorbing energy, it somehow turned into a pale-faced young man with golden hair that looked withered and on the verge of death.
He revealed a smile that showed that it had regained its freedom. Very quickly, he revealed the traditional smile of an ancient noble and bowed to Lin Xuan. “Thank you, my benefactor.”
[Monster: Vampire Baron (bat-orc)]
[Level: Low level yellow rank commander]
[Skills: Sire, Undying (Fake), Blood-sucker, Hibernation, Bat-form (unavailable), Blood Magic (unavailable).]
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes when he looked at the withered Vampire Baron. He quietly put the items on the altar into his personal card. If nothing went wrong, this should be the equipment of this vampire. He could not let the withered man get to it.
“How are you going to thank me?”
Under the moonlight, Lin Xuan frowned. ‘Even in this dying state, he’s actually a little more handsome than me…’
“Well, you’re my benefactor. You’ve regained my freedom. I shall bestow you with immortality. Although it’s a little painful, please bear with it.” 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
The Vampire Baron smiled. It was a little weak, but its body moved in a flash, In an instant, it appeared beside Lin Xuan and opened its mouth to fiercely bite down on Lin Xuan’s aorta.
Lin Xuan did not want to be bitten. He knew that he would not be a human anymore and might get controlled by others.
He waved his left hand subconsciously, and the purple wooden shield directly hit the Vampire Baron. The Shield Strike skill took effect, and the Vampire Baron fell into a dizzy state.
He extended his leg and tripped the Vampire Baron. Then, he swung his left hand with the shield as a counterattack to finish him off.
