Chapter 1202: 540
Beverly sensed the powerful aura of Jack emanating from you and involuntarily furrowed her brow, taking a half-step back subconsciously and adopting a combat-ready stance with wariness.
"Unfortunately, I did not unleash my full strength just now, simply because I didn’t want to expose myself. Since you doubt my power, I have no choice but to prove it to you!" you sneered coldly, suddenly charging at Beverly with your axe raised.
You activated the Blood Rhythms "Vampire Swarm," "Blood Curtain," "Mistify," and "Ghostly Presence"...
A swarm of screeching bats rushed towards Beverly, accompanied by a rising blood mist. The thick blood fog rapidly closed off her vision.
However, you quickly changed direction, using the cover of the blood mist to escape the scene...
Beverly, trapped within the Blood Curtain, stood as if facing a formidable enemy, vigilantly watching the surrounding blood-colored fog, daring not to be the least bit careless.
It wasn’t until several seconds had passed and the blood mist lost its energy, gradually dispersing, that Beverly realized the rooftop was empty, and you had vanished without a trace...
Mu You did not dare to engage in a real fight with the opponent here, not because he couldn’t win, but because he was reminded of Katerina’s prophecy.
Katerina had seen a vision of him pierced through the chest by a masked man, and it could very well happen here.
These sorts of prophecies were tricky to handle; even with the pocket watch to allow for errors, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t fall victim. It would be best to avoid confrontation with this individual tonight.
After escaping the rooftop, Mu You did not linger to watch other battles, but instead returned to the city, found a secluded spot, and started absorbing the bodies using the Blood Shrine.
Tonight, he had harvested nearly a hundred Blood Clan corpses. While the quantity was certainly excessive, not all bodies yielded complete heart’s blood, and just how many drops he could extract would come down to luck.
The body in front of him vanished, and the Blood Shrine gained a drop of 4th-generation heart’s blood...
...The Blood Shrine gained 0.8 drops of 5th-generation heart’s blood...
...
After a busy session, the result was reasonably good; Mu You had finally obtained 17 drops of 6th-generation heart’s blood, 11 drops of 5th-generation heart’s blood, 9 drops of 4th-generation heart’s blood and 4 drops of 3rd-generation heart’s blood.
Mu You wasted no time, beginning with the higher generations and successively Devouring each.
With every drop consumed, he also took the opportunity to randomly activate Blood Rhythms, quickly managing to fill in the missing common Blood Rhythms.
"Your bloodline has been purified; you have ascended to a 6th-generation Vampire..."
"...You have ascended to a 5th-generation Vampire..."
"...You have ascended to a 4th-generation Vampire..."
"You consumed the last drop of 3rd-generation heart’s blood... Ascension failed, as your bloodline purity is slightly lacking, maintaining you as a 4th-generation Vampire."
"What a pity..." Mu You shook his head in regret as he looked at the final result.
Four drops of heart’s blood was still insufficient for advancement, but from the prompt, it seemed close to the next level. With just 1-2 more drops, he could surely advance.
This task was not difficult. Now a 4th-generation Vampire, with the enhancement of Full Blood Law, his Combat Power was definitely not inferior to an average 3rd-generation Vampire; he just needed to hunt some more tomorrow.
The question now was, what exactly counted as completing the game?
According to the Admin, he needed to become the "Vampire King," but what did that entail? Was it to become the most powerful vampire in this city, or did he need to rule over other Blood Clan members, making them all submit to him?
If it was the former, he could achieve that soon, but if it was the latter, that would be troublesome, as he did not have the time to subjugate others one by one. freёweɓnovel.com
As he was pondering this, a prompt suddenly appeared in the game.
"Ding-ding-ding..." A sudden, urgent ring of a telephone bell caught your attention, and upon looking, you found that the source of the sound was a public phone booth not far from you.
[Will you answer?]
"Answer."
You checked to ensure no one was around, then stepped forward and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Ghost Captain," a mechanical voice sounded from the other end, clearly altered to disguise its origin.
Only the Admin would call him "Ghost Captain" here.
Perfect, Mu You had been wanting to find him as well.
You inquire about the specific conditions for the second method of passing the game.
"Passing the game, huh... Hehe, don’t worry, I never intentionally trouble players. As long as you ascend to a 2nd-generation Vampire, I’ll consider that you’ve met the conditions and you can pass the game anytime. However..."
The mechanical voice took a playful turn and chuckled lightly, "Considering your excellent performance, I’ve decided to offer you a special Easter egg!"
"’Tutankara,’ I believe you’ve heard of it. In fact, within that stone coffin, a Divine Artifact of the Blood God is sealed—a true Divine Artifact, the kind you can take with you."
"You want me to open the coffin and take the Divine Artifact?" you ask.
"Hehe, that’s up to you. I’m simply letting you know that this Easter egg exists. It’s entirely your choice whether or not to pursue it. If you want to pass the game and leave upon becoming a 2nd-generation vampire, you’re welcome to. The moment you ascend to the 2nd generation, the exit will open automatically, allowing you to leave whenever you choose."
"Lastly, as a parting tip: why don’t you look at tonight’s hot news?"
The mechanical voice abruptly ended, leaving only a busy tone in the earpiece.
You hung up the phone and looked up.
Displayed on the giant LCD screen at the top of the department store ahead, which was attracting the attention of countless pedestrians below, was an advertisement.
In the ad, a disheveled old man in glasses, identified as an archaeology professor, stood behind a mysterious stone coffin.
The man’s face shone with fanatical excitement as he shouted into the camera, spitting with fervor, "Do you see this? This is the legendary Tutankara’s Sarcophagus! I guarantee that we can find evidence of vampires’ existence from within!"
"Vampires, creatures of the night who feed on human blood, live in this city, around you and me! I know you don’t believe me, think I’m mad, but that’s alright, I can prove it!"
"Tomorrow night, at the Miracle Natural History Museum! I will live-stream the opening of the coffin and the examination of the body! Citizens are welcome to come to the scene in person! I will prove to the world that vampires exist!"
