Chapter 482: China, Here I Come! (1)
Whoosh!
Red lasers shot out from Count Dracula’s eyes. It was mana compressed to a high intensity. This was a skill that could destroy anything it touched, and even Tia’s body would explode the moment the laser touched her. However, Tia didn’t dodge the laser until it was right about to hit her, and she just stood there smiling.
Swoosh!
Surprisingly, the laser that shot forward with great speed managed to reach Tia, but the problem was that it passed right through her without causing any impact, and she disappeared like a puff of smoke.
[Huh?]
“Haha, now do you realize why I only punched your chin earlier?”
[Krrr, w-what?]
“You believe that you’re as strong as me, and while that’s true overall, the concentration of your mana isn’t very high. You know that too, right?”[Krrrr!] Count Dracula grunted.
Even though he wasn’t in the right state of mind, he instinctively sensed the complexity of the other Hunters’ mana concentration compared to his.
“And I’m a natural Hunter. I’m good at grilling guys with less mana concentration than me, haha.”
The Queen Arachnid race was a race that didn’t actually exist. However, due to Han-Yeol’s fraudulent-like abilities, she had evolved into a queen. She could have her memories revised even though she belonged to a race that didn’t exist. As a result, she could evolve into a queen and adapt to her new body, even though her combat style had changed significantly.
Despite the fact that he was under the influence, Count Dracula spoke fluent English. [Do you think you’ll be able to get me through this stupid hallucination?]
Unlike Han-Yeol, Tia could understand English without the need for an interpretation skill. Later on, she delved into reading through Han-Yeol\'s influence. Unlike him, she was highly intelligent and possessed a talent for learning languages, thus making her a rapid language learner. Nonetheless, she didn’t feel it was worth answering him in English.
“Haha, of course this hallucination isn’t fake. Have you still not noticed why I punched you directly in the chin to use this hallucination?”
There was no way Count Dracula could understand Tia who was speaking in Korean. He had lived his entire life in England and never visited Korea, but his senses were telling him that he was in a serious situation.
Ssst, ssst.
[Hmph!]
Suddenly, his surroundings were filled with monster eggs he’d never seen before.
Crack!
Before he had time to prepare, the eggs cracked open and different colored venomous spiders hatched, one after another, immediately lunging at him.
Count Dracula’s keen senses were warning him.
‘This isn’t a hallucination!’
Shaaa! Whip!
“Kheee!”
He formed a whip out of the blood he’d drawn from the wound he’d made on his fingertip earlier, and used it to eliminate the spiders lunging at him.
[Do you think you’ll be able to beat me with this kinda trick?]
Whip!
He swung his whip in all recitions, slaughtering dozens, or even hundreds of spiders as they charged at him.
Drunk on blood, Count Dracula roared, [Khaa!]
“Ha, what the hell is he saying?”
Shhh.
Tia\'s mouth curled with mockery toward her opponent. Count Dracula was battling an army of spiders with his blood whip, but in Tia\'s eyes, he looked like a madman doing gymnastics on a moonlit night.
“What do you mean it’s not a hallucination? A hallucination is nothing but a hallucination, kiddo. Haha.”
There was a difference between an exquisite hallucination and a less exquisite hallucination. While Tia had Count Dracula completely contained, the battle between the vampire army and the Black Orc Horde was intensifying.
In terms of individual strength, the vampires were a level stronger because the vampires had gotten stronger by the vampirism of their top Hunters. In addition, Count Dracula had become a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter, so they had access to even stronger blood. Since it was nighttime, they couldn\'t have asked for a better environment to fight in. Because of all this, the Black Orcs took quite a bit of damage early on.
“Tsk, they’re a cursed night clan. Bring out the things!”
“Yes, sir!”
However, when the Black Orcs brought out their silver coated weapons, the vampires’ weakness, the situation took a complete turn.
Swoosh!
[Khaaa!]
[These cowardly Orcs!]
Sparkle!
The Black Orcs, being the Orcs that they were, loved shiny treasures, so they enjoyed coating their weapons in silver or gold. At first, they coated their weapons in gold, but soon discarded them since it didn’t help them in any way. However, silver weapons were much more useful against the undead and demons, and it also suited their taste, so they used all the silver they could find after hunting to coat their weapons and armor.
“Slaughter that filthy race of the night!”
“Shik, shik, shik!”
Step, step, step!
Even the Orcs with shields in the back stepped forward, shining their shields in the moonlight to reflect light at the vampires and continued to disorient them as they were sensitive to light.
All of these weapons were made by the HY Group. The HY Group didn\'t just rely on Yoo-Bi’s mechanical engineering products. They also hired various weaponsmiths at high salaries to mass-produce traditional, classical equipment and incorporate them into her research.
The shields that the Orcs used had stats that reflected additional light. So even though the moonlight wasn’t as damaging as sunlight for vampires, they were still blinded by the bright light, which was why they couldn’t fight against the Orcs.
[Khaa! Those damn Orcs! Let’s fight them properly!]
“Tsk, what are they saying?”
“I don’t know.”
The stupid Black Orcs learned to speak Korean when Han-Yeol enslaved them, and they completely forgot how to speak Japanese within a few days. So it was impossible for such Orcs to understand English, which they had never heard before.
Thump, thump. Pow!
[Agh!]
The thousands of vampires who broke into the mansion were literally torn apart by the Black Orc Horde. Count Dracula probably hadn’t realized this as he was still trapped in Tia’s hallucination and fighting the spiders.
Tia decided that now was the time to end their fight.
“Boring…”
She had fought him out of curiosity, but now it wasn’t particularly interesting.
“But he’s still good to feed on!”
Tia quickly approached Count Dracula and immediately grabbed his head.
[Agh, just when—?]
“Haha, good work fighting the hallucination.”
[N-No way?]
Count Dracula was so focused on the hallucination that he didn’t even realize that Tia had approached him. His eyes were filled with shame.
[I-I will kill you!]
Even though Tia had already grabbed his face, Count Dracula released a murderous aura.
“Oh, you’re going to kill me in your current state?”
Crack!
[Aghhhh!]
Crunch!
Tia’s strongest part was her navy colored hands. They were so strong that even Han-Yeol praised them. With just the right amount of force, Count Dracula’s head was crushed like tofu.
“Hahaha.”
Seeing this, Han-Yeol clicked his tongue.
‘Tsk tsk.’
One of the top ten strongest people on Earth had just died in vain. Count Dracula was a strong Hunter, but he died just like that because he had fought in poor condition.
With the death of Count Dracula, the lord of vampires, the rest of the vampires lost their source of incredible power.
[Argh!]
[Khaaa!]
The weaker vampires turned into stone or dust on the spot and vanished.
[Agh!]
The comparably stronger vampires survived, but they were drained of more than half their strength. The sudden drain of power from their bodies caused the vampires to flounder like deflated balloons, unable to regain their senses.
“Huh, what’s up with these guys?”
“I don’t know, just kill them!”
“Let’s go!”
[W-Wait!]
[P-Pause!]
With the vampire lord dead, they were able to return to their original state, which was that of rational humans.
Due to the influence of the lord high on blood and drugs, they truly behaved like vampires from the demon world, though in reality, they were no different from normal humans. The only difference was that their race’s nature made them sensitive to sunlight, but it was too late now.
Slash!
[Khaa!]
[L-Let me live…!]
The vampires who had regained their senses swung their arms and begged for their lives, but the Black Orcs had none of it.
Gush!
[Agh!]
But whether they did or not, the Black Orcs concentrated on plunging their silver coated weapons into the vampires’ stomachs and slit their throats.
Gush!
[Aghhh!]
The vampires burned from head to toe, turning to dust. Begging for their lives was a futile act against the Black Orcs as they didn’t understand English in the first place.
[R-Run away!]
The vampires realized their mistake in hindsight, and tried to run away. After losing their lord, they were now truly a race of the night, unable to be exposed to sunlight, and they could now only be active at night for the rest of their lives. Anything was better than dying. They all wanted to live somehow, but the problem was that Han-Yeol had no intention of letting them live.
Slash!
“Where are you going?”
[M-Mr. Lee!]
[P-Please let us live!]
[T-That’s right. C-Count Dracula merely took advantage of us. We didn’t have the slightest intention of attacking you!]
[So please!]
The vampires begged Han-Yeol, the only one who seemed to understand them, to let them live. They had no way of knowing if Han-Yeol spoke English or not, but they begged anyway as a way to survive. However, the problem was that Han-Yeol was more determined to kill them than the Black Orcs were.
“Haha, I feel bad. What should I do?”
[Huh?]
“I don’t intend on letting a single one of you live.”
[W-What?]
[J-Just why…]
“I felt the need to warn the hyenas, so I figured killing all of you would do the job.”
Han-Yeol realized how the vampire lord had suddenly gained Transcendent Master-Rank level strength thanks to the thick stench the vampire lord emanated.
[W-What the…!]
His words were cruel, but of course the vampires did not understand what Han-Yeol had said.
