Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

Scorching heat.

Pools with lava that could melt ores instantly flowing freely around the landscape.

A very heavy air.

And monstrous creatures capable of bathing and hiding beneath the lava, which is also capable of firing Fire Attribute attacks from distances of over 20 meters.

And a C-Rank Dungeon, a level of difficultly that only a very small group of people within the entire population of Earth can go against…

This was the Dungeon that Noah had chosen for tonight, and perhaps for tomorrow as well.

"This is… ungh…" muttered Timassa.

"The dungeon that Noah-sama wanted us to enter… Hahh… The Scorching Hellhole…" muttered Arthur.

"Hahh… Noah… Maybe this was a bit excessive? Hahh…" asked Iris.

"If we fall into the lava… we are dead… We will… be melted before even being able to regenerate completely…" muttered Jon as he was panting heavily.

"Hot… Hahh… Water…" muttered Adamantine.

"Don't falter, IRIS, EVERYONE! This is the challenge we needed! Scorching heat, our very skin is melting away at every second! This is even worse than the Desert! We will surpass our limits here, and become B-Rank in no time!" laughed Noah, his face was filled with fascination as he felt the heat burn his skin as he regenerated it constantly!

"I see… I guess it is… how it is…" said Arthur with a bitter smile.

"Hahh… Is Noah-sama, perhaps, a masochist?" asked Timassa.

"I never knew this facet of him, perhaps we could adjust our night activities…" said Iris.

"Shut up, insolent! Because you dare mock me, you will go charge headfirst against that monster, right over there!" said Noah, ordering his subordinates to go against the long-necked giant turtle that emerged out of a small pool of lava.

The creature seemed to have a carapace as hard as chitin, and its long neck was covered in hard, red-colored scales that even had some metallic luster!

It had six crimson eyes and a long jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth, it looked more like…

"Isn't that… a dragon?" asked Timassa.

"It is a lesser Dragon… A Wyrm…" sighed Arthur, recalling the monster bestiary he liked to read.

"It looks… angry…" said Iris.

"ROOOOAARR!"

The Turtle-like Wyrm roared fiercely, as it began to breathe air, as its neck suddenly began to inflate like a balloon!

FLASH!

Opening its mouth wide, the Wyrm released an enormous wave of scorching flames towards Noah's group, crossing through dozens of meters, and actually reaching them!

"Giant monsters, an enormous range, large defense, good ways of hiding beneath the lava, and an environment that doesn't benefit us at all. This is the best challenge we could ever ask for!" laughed Noah maniacally, as he generated his Crimson Aegis over his subordinates and blocked the fire attack with ease!

BOOM!

Flash!

The flames dissipated as the Wyrm began to pant, it seemed that its all-out attack made it tired!

"It's tired…?" asked Arthur.

"Of course! Because it used such a strong attack and its body is so big and heavy, it can get tired easily…" said Iris.

"Indeed. Now go, I will support you from the sides!" roared Noah, as his group nodded, flying towards the Wyrm as he began to imagine the powerful Blood Servant they could get from this creature!

Iris was the first to get into the Wyrm, as she unleashed her Phantom Fox Spirits over it!

The monster roared in anger, trying to destroy the annoying attack with a swing of its long neck, only to feel something odd as the curse effect of the Phantom Fox Spirits began to take effect!

Several tattoos began to emerge all around its neck as the creature roared in confusion and anger!

Suddenly, it began to feel lethargic!

"It might be big and strong, but it is not near as fast to catch up with us!" said Timassa, as she began to gather black thunder all over her body and then unleashing it all over the monster in the form of spears of black thunder, impacting the creature's neck and slowly beginning to shatter the scales!

Crack, crash!

"RRAOOAAAAR!"

The beast roared in anger, as it suddenly began to absorb air!

The vacuum began to even drag everyone towards its enormous jaws!

"How about you eat some poison?!" roared Arthur, as he gathered an enormous sphere of purple corrosion, shaping it as a corrosion beast and sending it flying towards the monster's open mouth!

Splash!

The monster suddenly close its jaws as it swallowed the entire sphere of corrosion!

"GRRUUOOOHH…!"

The monster felt as the corrosion began to slowly melt the inside of its neck, as it roared in agony!

"Nice one, Arthur!" said Noah with a grin, as he flashed towards the monster while it groaned in pain!

"ROOOAARRR…!"

The Wyrm roared in anger, as it tried to slap Noah away with its neck!

However!

"Let's see if I can do it with such a giant being… Blood Prison!" roared Noah, as suddenly, an enormous cage made of crystalized blood captured the entire creature!

Flash!

"GROOAR?!"

The prison was already melting away in the lava though, but the seconds gained were enough for Noah to charge all of his boosting Skills over his long claws and his Soul Weapon, reaching the beast's throat!

By using Unyielding Blood Demon, Sacrificial Vampiric Veracity, Lifeblood Release, Blood Frenzy, and Vampiric Drain, Noah gathered an enormous amount of temporal powerups and life drain, reaching the monster's open wounds made by his group with his long Soul Weapon Claws, and slashing the tender flesh beneath!

SLASH!

CLASH!

"ROOOOOARRR…!"

The claws began to enter the flesh freely, as Noah kept rushing upwards while using his long, Vampiric Wings and Crimson Flash for mobility increase, slicing through the neck, leaving a large, vertical wound, where all of his subordinates released their own attacks to weaken the beast even more! action

Black thunder, corrosion spheres, black shadow bullets and spears, phantom claws, and blue nether fire, and three Evil Eye effects all fell over the creature's neck wound, as Noah kept slashing through it mercilessly!

Suddenly, the monstrosity raised its claws out of the pool, enormous claws that could tear down an entire skyscraper!

However, Noah smiled!

It was too late to come and attack him with that, fool!

"Blood Combustion!" laughed Noah, as all the blood he had purposely left in the wounds began to explode in succession, blasting off the entire of the Wyrm's neck apart!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"ROOOOOAAAARR…!"

Giving a last and weak roar, the beast died!

However, Noah quickly grabbed the corpse's carapace with his sticky blood tentacles, exerting an enormous strength thanks to his boost due to his Skills, he dragged the corpse to the rock floor immediately, without letting it fall over the lava.

"We did it…" said Arthur.

"Eh? Why isn't it turning into smoke?" asked Timassa.

"This is the law-defying effect of my Blood Servant, any monster that dies near me leaves a corpse that can last for 24 hours before turning into smoke, it is so I can turn it into a Blood Servant. But we can also harvest it, cutting it into pieces and converting the pieces into dropped items! This way, we can profit tremendously from these monsters like never before! And even more, whenever we are done, I can turn whatever it's left into black smoke if I ever want to," said Noah, as he grabbed the two C-Rank Attribute Value Cores that the beast dropped.

"Amazing! With that we really can make an immense profit…" said Arthur.

"I wonder how dragon meat tastes like…" said Iris.

"Is that in all you're thinking about? Isn't it obvious what's next?" asked Noah with a grin.

"Oh… Wait… Noah-sama, you are really… turning that into a…?" asked Timassa.

"That's right! I am turning this thing into a Blood Servant! Rise!" laughed Noah, as he touched the enormous corpse of over 20 meters with his hand, activating Blood Servant into it as a bright crimson light emerged from his hands, touching the entire corpse, and encompassing it!

Suddenly, the blood within the corpse started to move as if it had taken consciousness of its own, as a giant phantom emerged from the beast's corpse, fusing with the blood, and flying out of the corpse as it began to take a solid form!

"I can't believe my eyes now…" said Arthur in amazement, as he saw the very Wyrm they killed come back to "life" as a Blood Servant, now made entirely out of blood and phantom with a solidified exterior…

The entire Blood Servant was only a little bit smaller than the corpse, being 17 meters instead of 20-21.

However, it was still immense, and it possessed a strong and intimidating aura of greatness!

Ding!
