[ Now.... it wouldn"t be that fun if I fight with my full power, right? ] as always, Vlad said those words in a very casual tone. It made the dungeon boss not just confused, but also humiliated.
His enemy is not taking him seriously, he can see that his enemy is confident of his victory.
[ You know, I never actually fought with swords before. But since it would be boring if I end this quickly, I might as well try this out. ]
With that said, he lifted one of his arms upward and opened up the hand that was raised as if he was grabbing something in the air.
[ Summon: Necromaner"s Living Sword. ] he shouted the name of the spell.
Soon, a sword glimmering in the color of green appeared on his hand. Its blade was like that of a Chinese sword. Its hilt was a bone with unreadable words written on it. Its guard was two small horns and a devilish eye, and on its edge was a purple-colored tail.
Vlad can never hold a weapon outside his cla.s.s. But he can if it was a weapon summoned by his own magic.
( I never actually tried this in a PVP battle, but I at least took the time to train with it in this world. )
There was a satisfied look on his face as he looks at the blade he was holding.
There were many collections of weapons that can be summoned by the cla.s.ses of summoners. They"re weaker than normal weapons of players that have the same level as them, but they work fine for conserving many and for fighting hordes of weak enemies.
Necromancer"s Summoned Weapons: Lv120
Knife -----> Short sword -----> Long sword -----> Bow ------> Shield -----> Mace -----> Axe -----> Spear
These were the weapons that can be summoned with the necromancer"s cla.s.s. And other than Vlad"s necromancer summoner cla.s.s, he can also summon weapons from his Evil Monarch cla.s.s, which are a lot stronger.
[ To summon a weapon out of thin air... ] as he mutters so, he grips his own weapon, his trident.
[ Now, let"s see how strong that weapon is. I hope it"s not just for show. Attack him! ] the enemy gave his command.
The enemies in front of him started to move, and Immediately, they rushed towards Vlad and attacked him with their own weapons.
*Sweep!!!
*Bam!!!
*Clang!!!
All of their attacks missed its target. With Vlad"s highten senses, he able to dodge them all with ease.
( Appraisal: Result )
Name: Armored Golems
LV: 85
Health: 6000
( Too weak! )
Now, it was Vlad"s turn to rush towards them.
***
[ Whe-Where did that weapon come from...? ] a silent voice whispered in the room.
Alicia gave a shock expression on her face as he saw Vlad, who was surrounded by the enemy suddenly produced a weapon out of thin air.
All that Alicia knows was that Vlad was a mage. Why would he hold a sword? No, why is he planning to fight the strongest enemy in a battle he was the weakest of?
Even Caiden and the others were not able to hide their confusion.
They just stared at him with unblinking eyes.
They were so focused at his back and the sword he was holding that before they could even notice it, the enemies had already started its attack.
An enemy leaps over Vlad and swings its axe towards him. Vlad"s enemies were at least twice as big as him, and so are their weapons. The eyes of normal people will immediately be covered in fear just by looking at them, but Vlad did not even blink his as he blocks the axe that was probably heavier than boulders with his sword.
*Clang!!!
An ear-piercing sound was produced by the colliding of their weapons. The waves of the sound were almost visible to their eyes and they were only left stunned as they witness what was currently unfolding at the edge of the room.
[ Amazing... ] Sarah whispers the word that everyone has in their minds.
What they are witnessing right now was the person they know is a lot stronger than them. They knew he was strong, but they did not expect to see this level of intensity he will produce with his power. Not to mention, that he was not even fighting with his real weapon yet, which is his magic.
It was like he was toying with his enemies.
[ A mage that uses a sword... ]
As they watch in awe, the battle continues.
Vlad continued to blocks and parry all the enemies" attacks with his own weapon. Each colliding and meeting of their weapons results in banging and screeching sounds.
*Clang!!!
The blade of Vlad"s weapon was thin. One would expect to see it break if it collides with thicker and harder material, but that seems to be not the case.
Vlad"s weapon continues to thrive while the enemies" started to crack and soon break, giving Vlad the opportunity to attack their bodies and cut them little by little.
*Swoosh!!!
An arm was cut...
A leg...
The head...
Soon, all limbs were cut off...
Until dozens of enemies had stopped moving and were left lying in pieces on the ground.
[ This is unbelievable... ]
[ Is he really a human...? ]
Those were all the words they can say as they stared at Vlad"s back.
Even the trio was not able to deny Caiden"s words, as they too, couldn"t believe that their master was still human.
[ Imagine that power turning against us... He could kill us off easily... Not even Hana... ]
***
[ Thi-This is!? ]
[ I guess my training paid off... ] Vlad mutters as he brandishes his sword.
All the golems that surrounded and attacked Vlad are now dead in pieces on the ground. All their parts that were harder than steel were cut clean and even. No one would believe that they were all cut by the same sword.
[ You! You"re not just an ordinary Undead! Tell me, what are you really! ] with a shout, he demanded Vlad.
[ I thought I told you already...? I"m a Vampire. ]
[ To h.e.l.l with that! Did you really thought I believed you!? Don"t take me for a fool! Even Vampires have the smell of blood on them! ]
[ ... ]
( So he did not really believe me when I first said I was a vampire, huh? I guess that"s why despite I told him that, he still continued to call me undead... )
Everything went quiet for second as they observe each other, until...
[ No... It can"t be... An unsoiled vampire...? ] those words came sudden from his mouth.
Vlad didn"t understand why, but that word had stroke a chord in him.
[ An unsoiled vampire...? ] Vlad repeated the word and asks.
[ A vampire that hasn"t drunk blood... The purest of the race, yet the weakest... ]
[ That"s... ]
Hearing the truth came from his mouth for the second time had stunned Vlad, and he was not able to reply immediately. He was amazed by how perspective and how smart his enemy was.
( As one would expect from a person who lived for hundreds of years... It"s true that I haven"t drunk blood yet... I"ve been suppressing it all this time. )
[ I really can"t believe it... ] the dungeon master whispers to himself as he puts a hand on his forehead.
[ Haa... ] he sighs...
But that sigh soon turns to a blast of laughter.
[ Hahaha! I can"t believe it! You"re more than everything I had expected! For an unsoiled vampire to be this strong! Just imagine what would happen if you ever drink blood for the first time... You"ll grow more powerful than you are now and you will go on a rampage, thirsting for more! With that power, one rampage could destroy entire countries! ]
[ ... ]
( Me... Rampaging...? )
Again, Vlad could only listen to his proposition.
Vlad cannot really cut off the possibility of everything he had said to ever happen. Just from the smell of blood, Vlad loses control over himself for a short duration of time. He could only imagine what would happen if he drinks blood for real.
[ I admit that you are strong, but I want to see for real just how strong you really are! This time, I"ll fight you myself! ]
He stood firm on the ground. His form was shown clearly to everyone in the room. Even Alicia and the others that were looking in the faraway edge of the room could see the fine details of his body.
He was wearing a black armor that compliments the color of his folded wing. In his head were two horns and in his hand was the trident he was holding for all this time.
[ Tell me your name. ]
[ That"s... it"s Shi-... Vlad... It"s Vlad Alucard. ]
[ Vlad Alucard... A name befitting of your race. ] he compliments.
[ Vlad Alucard. I will remember that name. So even if you die here, I will continue to remember it for myself. ]
[ You know, that will never happen. ]
***
It was legendary.
The ground shook as the two figures afar from them started to fight.
It"s as if they"re looking between the fight of a hero and the king of demons told in the stories they have listened to as a kid.
[ h.e.l.l Spikes! ] the spell was shouted and a bunch of large spikes came appearing on the ground, each one of which can impale even the thickest of skins.
*Swoosh!
But before they could even reach their targets, they were all got cut by a sweep of the enemy"s sword.
With Vlad now getting the chance, he dashed towards the enemy and prepared his sword for another sweep.
[ Hmph! You won"t reach me that easily! h.e.l.lish Fire! ]
Blood-red flames were produced from the end of the dungeon boss"s trident and it struck Vlad. But...
[ ...! ] Vlad only continued to dash forward, blocking of the flames with a shield he had also produced out of thin air just now.
( You won"t get me with these mid-tier spells of yours! )
But before Vlad could reach the enemy...
[ You fell for it! ]
*BAM!
A large pillar of stone appeared from the ground, throwing Vlad to the air.
Falling down, Vlad was able to regain his balance and landed perfectly.
[ You got me good with that... ] he says as he wipes off the dirt that got on his clothes.
[ As I said earlier, I am the dungeon itself. I can freely control everything here without using my own set of magic. That"s the greatest advantage I have. You wouldn"t know when you"re about to get crushed. ]
[ It wouldn"t be as much fun if you can"t even do something like that. ]
[ Is that so? That arrogance of yours is really something... Come, I"ll crush your entire body this time that you won"t be able to regenerate! ]
[ Well, I guess you need to do something even better than that. That last attack had barely even scratched my skin. ]
[ Really? Then I"ll do just that! ]
And so, the battle continues...
With the dungeon boss using all kinds of spells to attack and defend himself, while also pressuring Vlad with his control over the ground and walls of the dungeon itself.
[ Walls of spikes! ]
[ Summon golems! ]
[ Draconic Burst! ]
All kinds of magic were thrown towards Vlad.
But Vlad was able to block and parry all of them by using different varieties of weapons on his hands.
He switches from swords to bow, shield to mace, knives to spear - Vlad uses all his weapons, avoiding the use of his magic attack spells that could end the fight in an instant.
The two continued to throw their attacks at each other. They continued to parry each attack with their own and the battle lasted much longer.
But soon, it became clear that no matter how many times he throws him off and blocks of his attack, Vlad still relentlessly kept on going, dashing towards him and cutting both of his attack and defense.
***
It only took a few minutes, but to the two people involved, it lasted for much longer.
The battle was finally over.
One stood tall on the ground while the other knelt on it.
[ I guess your arrogance was justified... ] the dungeon boss mutters as he stares at his enemy, Vlad.
Before they started to battle, Vlad had already shown his confidence that he would win the battle. He was never afraid of him and was sure of himself. At first, the dungeon boss hated it, but as they battle, he soon respected it.
[ I was not arrogant. Arrogance is a word only used for people who boast but doesn"t really have the power to prove it. I"m merely confident with my own power. ] he says as he stared down at the dungeon boss.
And soon, Vlad had put his sword beside his enemy"s head, signing that he"s ready to cut it off.
[ Mn... Is that so? Then... I guess this is it... ]
[ Yes, it is. ]
[ Then, can I have my final word? That fight... The years I"ve waited, all was worth for that single fight. ]
[ I hope so, I had a good time, too. ]
[ Really? You did not even use your spells... You"re a mage yet you did not use any... ]
[ You knew...? ]
[ Of course, just how will you be able to summon such a fine legendary sword out of thin air? Plus, I"ve watch everything that had happened before you were able to reach this place. Hmm... I bet you did that to have fun, right? ]
[ That... That was, right... ]
[ Undead... No, Vlad Alucard... I don"t have a name... I will die without even no one remembering who I was... I ask you, at least remember the battle we fought... ] he begged.
He"s still holding his broken weapon and his back was still firm. He did not show Vlad his weak side even for the last time.
[ Remeber me. ]
Everything was silent and their figures seems to be the only thing that can be seen in the room.
The dungeon boss finally lowered his head and waited for Vlad"s answer...
And so he gave his answer:
[ No... I won"t do that. ]
Those were the final words he had heard before his head got cut off clean.
It was cruel.
