3 Chapter 2: Trapped (2)
"I wonder how many days, I've been here. I am really worried of leaving Asia alone with those perverts, I need to hurry up"
I muttered before killing the last skeleton in the instant dungeon.
It was getting harder and harder to level up since now my level far surpasses the skeletons that I have killed, but thanks to being in a constant fight in this past few days I acquired some interesting skills.
[Detection (lvl maxed) - Allows the user to detect any presence within the radius of 10 km with the user as the center]
[Bloodlust (lvl maxed) - Allows the user to inflict fear towards enemies that are stronger than the user by focusing the user's bloodlust and pressure towards his desired target. If the enemy is weaker than the user then the user can inflict a paralyze on his targets]
[Sniping (lvl maxed) - Increased accuracy and precision of any projectiles fired by the user]
[Unarmed Combat Mastery (lvl maxed) - Grants the user unmatched skills and techniques at hand to hand combat]
[Supreme Senses (lvl maxed) - Significantly increases the user's sensitivity towards movement, presence, and sounds]
[Bind (lvl maxed) - Binds a a rope made from highly concentrated mana around the target, mobilising its movements for 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the target. (Consumption: 100 Mp/rope)
Thanks to those skills, hunting down the skeletons became much more easier, even though bloodlust rarely work on them since they are just walking skeletons so they feel no fear making bloodlust a useless skill to use against them.
Also, thanks to supreme senses and reflex, I am now almost untouchable especially when it comes from projectile attacks, so dealing with archers and mages that cast simple spells like mana ball is much easier than it was before.
I also felt a bit taller than I was before, my body started to change as my stats increased. I became more mascular and fit than before, I bet Asia will be surprised to see my sudden changes... I hope she's fine, those perverts better not lay their filthy hand on her.
I stepped outside the church as I activated my detection, checking if none of the skeletons were left.
Suddenly a loud cracking sounds woke me up from my concentration. I moved my head to look at the source and found a giant creature made from countless bones, bundled up together as it held a giant two-handed on both of its hands while looking at me with its eyeless sockets.
I used appraisal on the creature as it immediately charged towards me with great speed swinging his swords down as I quickly erected a mana barrier around me.
Mutant Zombie

Hp: 1,200,000/1,200,000
Mp: 700,000/700,000
Bio: Created from the desires of the vengeful souls to cause chaos and destruction towards human kind.
As the sword hit my barrier, it created a giant creater around my location, indicating how much force those attacks had. I quickly used blink to teleport to another location but the skeleton easily found me as it charged swinging its swords aimlessly as it destroyed all of the walls around it.
"Fuck me, this guy can't take a break"
I muttered before casting bind on the giant skeleton, immobilising its movement for a few seconds based on the raw strength that the creature had.
I immediately spammed Mana Spears on the limbs of the skeleton, successfully breaking his right arm off of its body as it freed itself from the ropes.
The skeleton paid no heed from its missing arm as it swung his giant sword towards my location. I turned my body, dodging the sword as it created a giant cut on the ground.
I cast bind on the skeleton as I created multiple Mana spears aiming them at his right leg. Even though the skeleton had no defensive skill, his body's defense alone is monstrous.
Finally after a few seconds, I was able to break his right leg off of his body. The skeleton tried to charge at me but failed due to his missing leg.
I created multiple Mana spears once more and aimed them at the shoulder of its right arm, barraging it with mana spears until it broke off from his body.
The skeleton shrieked as it tried to charge towards me but was unable to due to him missing 3 of his limbs.
Mutant Zombie

Mp: 700,000/700,000

"Goodbye"
I said before spears of mana rained down on the mutant skeleton, ending its life.
[You have leveled up]×13
I went towards its corpse and collected the loot that it dropped. Other than a few million yen and health potions that it dropped, it dropped a ring with a skull design on the top.
[Ring of the Lich King

I opened my status board and equipped the ring.
I checked my status and assigned most of my status points on intelligence, while I placed what was left on Endurance, Strength, and Agility

Suddenly my surroundings started to change again. The tombstones became dust as it got blow away by the wind. The destroyed houses and church started to repair itself while several wooden crosses were erected around the area.
While I was admiring the sudden changes, I felt someone charge at me from my back. I quickly moved my body dodging the claws of the creature as I used bind and cast appraisal at my attacker.
Vampire
Level: 110
Hp: 700,000/700,000
Mp: 400,000/400,000
Bio: Hunters of the night
[Bloodlust has been activated]
I activated my bloodlust and aiming it at the male vampire on the ground, silencing it as it tried to scream at me.
Unlike the skeletons and zombies I have battled before, they can control their mana and create a defensive barrier around them but their defensive capabilities are much weaker than the skeletons.
Sadly I can't enjoy the buffs given by my title against this kind of enemies.
I then created 10 mana spears around me and shot them at the vampire on the floor, and because of the paralysis effect inflicted by bloodlust he was not able to erect a barrier on time as the spears pierce his body filled with holes.
"Hmm..."
I used detection around me and found that many of the vampires were hiding in the shadows, watching me from the distance and observing my current strength.
"Tch... Smart Bastards"
I said before scattering my bloodlust around the place.
"Wha-"
"How can-"
"NO-"
The vampire screamed as they lost control of their body.
"But not smart enough"
I said before creating countless mana spears and shooting them towards the vampires around me.
"Please, don't kill me"
One of the stronger vampires pleaded for her life as she saw the incoming spear. I looked at the pleading vampire and saw a loli with pale skin and silver hair tied that reaches her hips.
"Why should I do that?"
I said before killing the last vampire around me while looking at the loli vampire kneeling on the ground.
"I-I will do anything that you want, p-please don't kill me"
She said while looking at me with teary eyes.
"How would I know that you won't betray me?"
"T-then I will allow you to give me a true name, with that I will always be loyal to you, and if I betray you a curse will kill me"
"..."
"I-I-I'm saying the truth"
"Then I will just name you right?"
"Yes yes"
She nodded her head repeatedly while answering my question.
"Then your name from now on is Lily Frey"
[Player has named a pure-blooded vampire]

A party was established between the two of us as her Hp and Mp bar appeared below my own on the party section.

She's pretty strong
I thought while looking at the happy little loli on the ground.
"Why is your blood sucking skill so low? Even though your a vampire"
"Eh... T-that is because I don't really like to use it, it makes my body feel hot for some reason, and it feels weird using it"
"Hmm... Come here for a second"
I said motioning for her to come close to me. She didn't hesitate one bit and started walking towards me with little steps.
As she got close to me. I placed my hand on the skill point section trying to see if it has that option.
[Would you like to donate your skill points to [Lily Frey]?]
"Jackpot"
I smiled as I saw the notification. So it was possible to donate some of my points to her.
[Would you like to give [Lily Frey] 1,000,000 skill points?]
I confirmed the transaction as I saw her skill points suddenly increase which caused her to look at her status board with shock.
"M-master, H-how did you-"
"No questions, my little loli, I want you to max out all of the skills you have now"
Lily nodded her head as she started to place her skill points into all of her skills... except blood sucking.
"I told you to max EVERY skill, Lily"
"B-but"
"No buts, max it out"
Lily puffed out her cheeks as she hesitantly placed her skill points into the skill.
"Good, I'll give you a cookie once were done"
I said while patting her head, even though I know she is older than me, we are at least the same height.
"Stop treating me like a child! You're at least younger than me by a few years"
"Well, mentally you are more childish than me so-"
I said but was cut off by the a sudden darkness arrow that was shot between the two of us.
"Even though your childish... you're pretty sharp"
"I am not a high ranking vampire for nothing"
She said with pride as she puffed out her nonexistence chest as a bright smile covered her cute face.
"I see..."
I said while trying to stop the grin that was forming on my face from her actions.
Lily who saw that immediately turned red from embarrassment.
"Stop laughing!"
"But I'm not laughing"
"I know you're holding it in"
"My my, loli-san, I wonder what you're talking about"
"Don't ignore us!"
The vampires who attacked us shouted in anger.
"You shit! You dare ignore a noble vampire like me! Also you there you slut, I should have known that you were going to betray us"
"Wah... It seems like they hate you"
"Well, many were jealous of my talent so they always wanted to kick me out of envy, and I couldn't do anything since I am just a low ranking noble compared to them"
"I'm surprised they didn't rape you"
"Of course not, I fight back when they force me. I just need to endure a few days of suspension from the academy"
"Also, this is one of the reason why I didn't think twice to join your side. They're all meanies so I don't want to stay with them"
"Poor loli, I'll give a cookie once were done"
"Reall- I mean don't treat me like a child!!"
"You ingrates dare to ignore me again"
The vampire shouted as he shook furiously from anger of him being ignored. He tried to create another darkness spear but stopped when he felt great amount of pressure and fear push him down on the ground.
"Shut up will you, I really hate prideful mongrels like you"
I said with an irritated tone as I pierced all of them with my mana spears.
[Title: Vampire Hunter acquired]
[Vampire Hunter - Increases damage dealt to vampires by 100%]
"Cool"
I said as I casually pierce every single one of them, thanks to my title I only need 2 spears to kill a single vampire without any problem.
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
"Thank you for the exp, vampire-san"
I casually muttered while slaying all of the vampires around the vicinity.
"I feel useless"
Lily sadly muttered like a sad little rabbit while watching me slaughter her kind.
"You're not useless, Lily, in fact your a lot more powerful than me especially now after you maxed out all of your skills"
"Then why couldn't I help you kill them?"
"I am enough to deal with this weaklings, during the boss fight will I need you, right now I don't know how strong I am compared to him after all"
"The boss? You mean the Count Dracula?"
"Yeah"
"Hmm... When it comes to raw strength, we are weak compared to him, but skill wise we overpower him"
"Why is his skill lvl that low?"
"Not really, but compared to my skill lvl, his is considered mediocre"
"Also, all of the vampires sent here are mediocre, since all of them relied on pure stats points rather than their proficiency in skills"
"So that's why I was able to kill them easily"
"Yes, if they sent here the more decent ones then you would've possibly died here"
"How come you're not like them"
"I'm not stupid like them to only rely on my pure stat points"
"Hmm... Oh, we're finally here"
I said as we finally arrived at the entrance of the church this is where I felt his presence.
"You ready, Lily?"
"Mnn"
As she nodded I opened the giant entrance, revealing a spacious hallway. The altar disappeared and was left was a throne with a middle-aged man sitting on it.
"You have finally arrived, hunter, I have been expecting your arrival"
He said mockingly while pointing at me and Lily who just entered church.
"What the hell is wrong with him?"
"Well... He is stupid in my opinion, just to flaunt and act cool, he sent his subordinates to go and kill you without any plan, as he waited inside like an idiot. Letting his subordinates meaninglessly die. If he joined them in the attack, they might have been able to kill you"
"Just wow"
"Show me your strength hunter, show me the strength that killed all of my men. Entertain me hunter and don't disappoint me by dying too quickly"
He said mockingly while looking down at the two of us with his blood red eyes with a grin across his face.
"How arrogant he is"
"Well, he was always like that"
"Let's just finish this quickly. I want to go back and see Asia"
"Asia?"
"Yes, she is basically my entire life, without i could have been found dead on the streets"
"Ooh... She seems nice"
"Yeah she is nice, in fact she is too nice and innocent that it worries me"
"YOU DARE IGNORE ME! THE GREAT DRACULA!!"
The middle-aged man shouted with fury as he charged towards us, brandishing his claws as he prepared to slash us with his claws.
"Let's make this quick"
I said as I created multiple mana spears around me while Lily brandished her claws as a ominous dark mana surrounded it.
"Oh!"
She energetically shouted as Dracula slowly came close to our location.
Count Dracula
Level: 210
Hp: 2,130,000/2,130,000
Mp: 1,300,000/1,300,000
Bio: Self proclaimed strongest vampire that ever existed
As he got close to us, he slashed down his claws down towards Lily. Lily created a darkness mana barrier around her, catching the attack of the man as she moved behind him with shadow walk. Piercing his back with his claws as her mana spreads inside his body.
[Leech has been inflicted]
[Leech - A spell that drains the strength and mana of the target permanently if either the caster or the target is still alive]
I cast bind on him while my mana spears rained down on his body. Dismembering his limbs is worthless since he can instantly heal himself without effort until his stamina runs out.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Dracula screamed in pain as countless spear pierce his body filled with holes. Lily on the other hand kept him still with her darkness chains as she hold him on the ground.
Lily imbued more mana into the chains to resist Dracula's struggles of breaking free while I kept raining down mana spears on him.
"How noisy"
"Hmm... I didn't expect that it would be this easy to subdue him"
"Well... He can't escape since his proficiency in skills are almost nonexistence, the only high leveled skill that he has is blood sucking and seduction"
"Waa... I guess the rumor were true that he kept sleeping around with human and vampire females alike"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
He screamed in pain from the countless spears piercing his body.
"I THE GREAT DRACULA WILL NOT GO DOWN LIKE THIS!!!"
He screamed before turning into hundred s of bats escaping the dark chains of Lily.
"I forgot we could do that" (Lily)
We watched as all of the bats fly away from us and gather at a distance as Dracula appeared once again. He cut his own hand and let the blood flow out, slowly his blood formed into two swords, as he held each with his hands.
He charged at me slashing his two swords side ways trying to cut me into 3 parts. I conjured a barrier around me while I brought out my Undead Slayer.
I met his strike head on as I struggled to catch it with my own strength. I summoned 5 skeletons behind his back holding a sword on their right and a shield on their left as they slashed at Dracula, successfully cutting his back.
Lily created a giant scythe with Dracula's blood and placed it at his neck, decapitating his head from his body.
His body still kept slashing his sword at me as I easily dodged each attacks since their trajectory was quite predictable. Lily reformed the scythe into a giant spear and pierced the cut section on his neck down to his crotch. While I pierced his body with my mana spears.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
His head screamed in pain as it rolled on the ground.
"Bind"
I cast bind on his body while Lily brandished her claws and covered it with Dracula's blood. She slashed his claws on his body, cutting it into pieces while it tried to regenerate itself.
Slowly we saw his regeneration started to slow down, so we attacked more furiously as we pierce and but his body continuosly without stopping.
Slowly his body stopped regenerating all together as a familiar voice echoed in my head.
[You have leveled up] x23
[Quest has been accomplished]
[Murasame acquired]
[Murasame (Grade: Unique) - A sharp katana that inflict a poisonous curse on any living being that it is cut with]
"Damn, I need to be careful using this sword or I might accidently kill someone or even... wait can I do that?"
A dangerous idea sprung on his head as he took the katana and cut himself in the arm with it.
Suddenly he saw black marking appearing on his body as he felt immense pain coming from his arm.
[Skill: Poison Resistance acquired]
[Skill: Curse Resistance acquired]
Lucias wasted no time and immediately placed skill points into his new skills, he felt the pain and the marking disappear from his body as he sighed in relief.
[Skill: Poison Nullification acquired]
[Skill: Curse Nullification acquired]
"Ohh! I want to try it as well"
"Okay just try not to cut yourself too deep or you'll seriously die"
She nodded vigorously as I handed her Murasame. Without even hesitating she cut her finger with the blade causing black marks to quickly appear and spread on her hand.
She quickly opened her status and maxed out the two new skills that she received as the marks slowly disappeared.
"Ohh!"
She shouted excitedly while staring at her two new skills.
I picked up the drops and found that most of them were the same as before but the difference is that the corpse dropped a bottle of pills.
[Bottle of Resurrection Pills
Grade: God
A bottle containing 12 resurrection pills that can revive any beings who drink it. All status abnormality that they once had will disappear after they were resurrected. If a live person swallow the pill, they will receive the curing effect of the pill without any side effects]
Suddenly the sky shatters into pieces and we were brought back to reality. We were outside the church, the same location that I disappeared to when I was pulled into the instant dungeon.
"So this is where master came from"
Lily said excitedly while looking around our surroundings, admiring the light blue sky.
I smiled at her innocent reaction as another string of notification rang in my head.

"Finally I'm back, I can't wait to see you Asia"
I muttered as I walked towards the church with Lily following behind me.
