Chapter 25_ Vampire City (3)

The place that Lexus intended to reach is one of the place in the novel where a major development happened. The place which greatly influenced the protagonist's and other characters' character development and growth.

But the issue was it is not something that could be found easily for those who haven't visited it.

"Vampire city…"

The current destination of Lexus that he decided to venture.

Vampires. A branch of the demonkin, they lived in the human world rather than in hell. Their strength was overwhelming. It was natural since they were designed to hunt humans. Entering their lair was an act of suicide.

[Your level has risen.]

[Congratulations!]

[You have reached level 100!]

'It is great.'

Lexus slayed desert creatures as he moved forward and headed to a certain vampire city. Despite receiving millions of experience points, Lexus had just managed to reach level 100. It was because the experience points he needed to fill greatly increased every time he leveled up.

Not to mention that legendary classes needs more experience than others. Lexus also noticed the system was restricting his growth by increasing the experience he needs after receiving three of the strongest among the 9 legendary classes.

But still, Lexus didn't complain even the slightest and was thankful that he reached level 100 instead. Despite the difference of more than 200 levels, Lexus could still take down the monsters because of the combined legendary classes characteristics that produced a great synergy.

Moreover, it would not be an exaggeration to say that a person who did not even reach level 100, but was still winning against monsters over level 300 is no different than picking a star in the sky.

Undefeated King's Descendant, Pagma's Descendant and the other nine legendary classes didn't have the concept of first, second or third class advancements. But at level 100, his stats went through the first awakening like any other users or NPCs. Since Lexus had unusually high stats, he was dramatically strengthened the moment he reached level 100.

Golden ratio of 1:1, when two basic stats are in this ratio, it enhances the said stats by additional 150% or 1.5 times. After the nonstop journey in the desert, Lexus saw a cliff that was so dark and steep.

As he was always ambushed by monsters in the desert, Lexus maintained the effect of Stamina Maintenance which allows him to neglect taking a break which allows him to remain in good condition despite endlessly fighting.

The class characteristic is just that OP to let Lexus to be fine and good condition despite fighting and traveling straight for days without taking a break or a rest. Looking down, Lexus scrutinized what's below. Seeing the pit that was devoid with light, he knew that he had to go down a 12m high cliff.

In the novel, there aren't any lights and it is dark in there, so he won't be able to see anything for around two minutes. Until he adjusted, his vision won't be perfect after two minutes pass. The darkness places a limit on mobility, so it will be slightly difficult for him to exert 100% of his capabilities.

Lexus was also aware that he can't carelessly light a fire to produce light as the vampires pay attention to fire. He will be isolated as soon as he turn on the torch.

However even with those conditions, Lexus wasn't afraid at all. Though he was 200+ levels below the vampires, the skills of a legend can compensate against those level differences. Without hesitation, Lexus leaped straight to the hole.

[You have entered the Vampire's Underground City (13).]

[The entrance of the dungeon is blocked. Contact with the outside world will be blocked.]

[You can't escape the dungeon until you kill the dungeon boss or without the dungeon boss' permission.]

'It is dark.'

It was his first feeling after entering. There was a deep darkness that dominated the whole area.

Puduk. Kwaduduk.

The moment he entered, he heard the sound of wings flapping, then hundreds of small red lights appeared in the darkness. It was countless bats flocking.

The hundreds of bats fearlessly rushed to attack him. Lexus didn't panic seeing the flocks of bats flying in front and before he was bitten by the bats, Lexus already noticed them despite the darkness because of Super Sensitivity.

Now that it reached over 250+ points, his already sensitive senses heightened even more which allowed him to dodge the bats', bites. All of the bats hit nothing but the air, and Lexus swiftly passed through them and swung his Brilliance at them.

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 1,200 damage to the target.]

[You have...]

[...]

With just a basic attack even without a buff, the bats that were hit by Brilliance that was still sheathed in the legendary scabbard had their blood scattered around. Not to mention that the option effect of Brilliance and the passive effect of Crazed Rampage, increases his attack speed with each swing.

The sharp teeth of the bats couldn't touch Lexus much less taste of his flesh. With his agility stat receiving the benefit of having it on golden ratio, he could move much more swiftly than before. His agile movements gave the bats a very hard time on touching his figure as his super sensitivity synergized with his agility very well.

Then, Lexus sensed that there were large wolves rushing in the distance. "They are scarily large."

Their size was much larger than common wolves. It was at the level of a bear but Lexus didn't feel any fear.

[Strength Augmentation has been activated. Your attack power, defense and movement speed will increase significantly for 20 seconds.]

[Blacksmith's Rage has been activated. Your attack power and attack speed will increase significantly for 20 seconds.]

The air around Lexus started to boil. His white hair and the stones on the ground started rising. Pagma's Sword Dance, Transcend.

[Entering the transcendent mode.]

[Attack power is doubled. Your basic attacks will be converted to ranged attacks.]

[This effect will last for 30 seconds.]

In the center of it, Lexus wielded the sheathed Brilliance. Then a dark energy blade shot forward to the bats and wolves from Lexus' swords.

Peeeong!

Kuwaaah!

[You have dealt 3,000 damage to the target.]

[The Brilliance's option effect is activated, dealing additional of 50% damage.]

[You have dealt 4,500 damage to the target.]

Lexus didn't stop his assaults and kept swinging his sword at rapid speed. Energy blades flew forward in a cross shape and hit the monsters despite his lack of vision.

[You have dealt 3,000 damage to the target.]

[The Brilliance's option effect is activated, dealing additional of 50% damage.]

[You have dealt 4,500 damage to the target.].

The bats and wolves were suffering tremendous pain. Lexus leaped forward and brandished his scabbard diagonally. The sword energy surrounding it bent like a whip and accurately hit the neck of the monsters. Lexus' sword energies continued flying forward.

Unable to withstand the barrage of attack from a legend who didn't even tried doing his best, the vampire bats and wolves were thoroughly destroyed.

[You have defeated a vampire bat.]

[You have obtained 3 points of strength stat from your opponent.]

[490,800 experience has been acquired.]

[You have defeated a vampire wolf.]

[487,210 experience has been acquired.]

[You have obtained 5 points of agility stat from your opponent.]

[Vampire wolf leather has been acquired.]

[You have...]

[Vampire Wolf Leather]

Very sturdy leather. If it can be tanned well, it will be a suitable material for making armor.

Weight: 15

The monsters turned into grey lights without even touching a single hair of Lexus. Although it delayed him since they possessed quite the high amount of health, Lexus no longer cared about them. He proceeded to move forward for a while until his vision adjusted in the darkness and was soon standing in front of an old-fashioned gothic high-rise building.

Then, before Lexus could move and roam around to examine the place, system prompts appeared in his vision.

[The master of the 13th city, Vampire Earl Elfin Stone has appeared.]

[A strong evil influence is making your magic power turbid. All types of spells and skills aren't available.]

[A vampire's gaze will subdue lower species. Your body is subjected to a strong oppression.]

[A legend doesn't yield.]

[You have resisted.]

Sururuk.

Black smoke appeared above Lexus. The blond handsome man who emerged from the smoke was more beautiful than jewelry.

Lexus wasn't surprised by his appearance or more like, he already expected to encounter him. A direct descendant vampire. They are the strongest vampires and the ones who rule over the vampire cities. The top direct descendants are comparable to Great Demons.

"Human dare enter my city! Polluting the air!"

While in his slumber, he detected the presence of an invader of his territory. As the master of the 13th Vampire City, it was his obligation to eliminate all foolish intruders.

As he was about to get rid of those that dared to step in this city, he found it was ridiculous and reprehensible to see a human that dared invade a vampire's city with just himself?

Elfin Stone felt annoyed about it and was about to unleash his blood magic to eliminate Lexus but the white haired human in front of him talked casually.

"I don't really intend to fight against a Vampire Earl but I'm not backing down either."

Veins emerged on Elfin Stone's forehead and was about to aim his strongest skill and return to his comfortable sleep and slumber but then flinched and his eyes widened in surprise. Lexus swiftly appeared above him with just a single leap from the ground.

"So fast!!"

His pupils quaked unable to believe for a moment how fast the movements of the white haired swordsman. His agility stats was enhanced by the golden ratio and with the buff skills that only has 3 seconds left before the duration ends.

With such agility despite being overwhelmed by many levels, Lexus' movement speed momentarily escaped the vampire's reaction speed as Elfin Stone wasn't on guard against him.

Unlike what he had been doing before, Lexus unsheathed his sword from the legendary rated sheath as he was now against a boss monster. Lexus raised his bloody red sword high in the air as a wave of energy gathered around his body, turning into a berserk tornado that swept towards his surroundings. It was the aftershock of a swing with his current strength.

With his sword that gave off scorching heatwaves, Lexus unleased Pagma's Sword Dance, Pinnacle.

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 80,000 damage to the target.]

Pagma's Swordsmanship, it was made up of skills that dealt additional damage in proportion to physical damage. In addition, most of them were non-targeted skills and Greed whose still using the original Pagma's Sword Dance often missed. But Pinnacle was different. It was a targeted skill and had an additional option of ignoring the enemy's defense. The range of movement was proportional to the length of the weapon.

"What the hell is this?!"

Elfin Stone exclaimed while coughing out blood. He may be caught off guard but the attack still greatly shocked him. He wasn't prepared to receive a blow from the original sword dance of Great Swordsman Pagma which was incredibly superior than normal stage of Pagma's Sword Dance.

A blacksmith, but also a master of the sword. The sword technique that could separate the sky and the mountains. Indeed, the best swordsman after Sword Saint Muller… But what if the sword dance was from a Sword Saint himself?

Elfin Stone was still not aware of the fate that had awaited him from the blades of the legend in front of him.
