After cutting off the spider queen's head, Elliott was very tired both physically and mentally from using all his abilities beyond the capabilities his body and mind can handle at the moment.
"ha.. ha.. well this is as far as I've come I can't move a muscle."
Elliott grabbed the sword for support so he could walk.
The remaining spiders seeing their dead queen went berserk and charged toward Elliott with the intention of killing him in the worst way possible.
Elliott looked back and saw a group of enraged spiders with crazed looks on their faces.
"Shit!"
Elliott started walking faster, but his body was in no condition to go any faster.
*Strike* *boom*.
One of the guardian spiders hits Elliott in the back and sends him flying into a nearby wall.
"Puaj!..."
Elliott slammed against a wall harder than the others, as if it were a stone door.
"Ahhh... shit why is this wall so hard?"
*crunch*
The wall behind Elliott started to open as if it was a door. And Elliott fell into the door.
And the door closed as soon as Elliott fell into it.
[You have entered the tomb of the vampire progenitor.]
*boom!* *boom!* *boom!* *boom!*
The spiders hit the door with all their might.
Elliott looked around once his headache hit. He was inside a small room that was about seventy square feet of space. It had high ceilings and a beam of light descended from above, illuminating a coffin that glowed with a crimson light. Five steps led up to the coffin. The coffin in the middle was of a beautiful pale-skinned woman with white hair and long, sharp fangs.
"This is the progenitor of vampires." Elliott looked at the face and soon turned his gaze to the sword in his chest. It was about forty-five inches long and had a black hilt with an inlaid gem, and a beautiful crimson blade.
"That should be the weapon of the vampire progenitor."
[Sabina progenitor's sword]
[Rank: ?]
[Description: It is a weapon containing the blood of the first progenitor of the vampires Sabina. It has the ability to drain the blood of its opponent. It is a sword that has a conscience, so it will personally choose its wielder. If the sword does not approve of its wielder, the sword will consume your soul]
[Bloodmark]
|If the target receives a critical hit, the target will suffer 'Bleed'. Targets affected by 'Bleed' will suffer a certain percentage of damage over time.
[Sabina's progenitor's power: Ability blocked (Sealed).
(This is the shape of the sword of the progenitor Sabina).
Elliott clenched his fist. He had finally found an excellent sword.
With this sword, he would narrow the gap between himself and the leading candidates. The sword belonged to the vampire progenitor, so he believed it would help him grow steadily even after finishing the tutorial.
'And that's not all.' Elliott's eyes darted to the last option marked 'locked'.
Elliott started up the stairs as the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. He felt as if the sword was sizing him up. Elliott nodded respectfully and placed his hand gently on the sword.
"Huh?" Elliott felt something warm, sticky, and strange pierce his palm and press against his body. The veins in the hand that touched the sword swelled up his arm as if they were about to burst at any moment as his arm turned a dark red. He could see a black thing crawling inside his veins. Elliott gritted his teeth through the enormous pain. The sustenance from the information window that the sword would personally choose its bearer popped into his head.
The progenitor of the Vampires was known as the most feared being of all time. Although I never met her, all the information related to her.
To properly handle the sword, he had to be constantly on guard against the threat she posed to him. However, no one knew that this hidden dungeon was his tomb.
The black energy rising to his right shoulder began to withdraw.
Whoosh!
It poured down his arm rapidly until it froze around his left hand. The Sword seemed to twist, then began to melt, coiling around his hand as if transplanted.
The vampiric sword had melted completely, but Elliott's right hand looked no different.
The sinister black energy was nowhere to be seen either. Elliott focused all his senses on his right hand and black energy flowed from his palm.
Whoosh!
It gathered into black energy, then was taking the original form of the sword again.
Dry metallic sound!
[The seal has been lifted.]
[True name: Sabina's Vampiric Sword]
[Description: The true form of the Vampire progenitor's most prized weapon. It can drain the life energy of its opponents and devour their souls as it contains the blood of Sabina, the first Vampire].
[Bloodmark].
If the target receives a critical hit, it will suffer 'Hemorrhage'. [Targets affected by 'Hemorrhage' will suffer a certain percentage of damage over time].
[Unique power of progenitor Sabina].
Drains the target's energy and extracts a portion of their attribute points. If the proficiency reaches the maximum, the target's skills can also be stolen].
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~.... Cough... cough... cough... cough... this weapon is perfect, I thought I would die. But look I found the weapon of a progenitor of an entire race!"
Elliott was so happy, he had forgotten he was still in the dungeon.
And waiting for him was a group of angry spiders.
***
Elliott was in front of the door, through which he fell before finding the sword after having rested enough to be able to fight in optimal conditions against the enraged spiders that were on the other side of the door.
*Kung Kung Kung
The spiders were still pounding on the door in anger. Elliott summoned the sword to his hand and opened the door wide.
At that moment...
Kikiriki!
A spider let out a loud scream and ran toward Elliott in a frenzy.
Elliott stepped forward. He activated all his combat skills at the same time.
*Smooth slash*
With a swing of the vampiric sword, the hard legs of the spiders were cut off like tofu. Elliott jumped up, stepped on the spider, and leaped high into the air.
Kiikii!
Beneath his feet, there were more than a dozen spiders screeching at him. They were enraged, wanting to kill the criminal, who had destroyed their nest and killed their queen. Among them, Elliott saw the corpse of the queen spider.
One of the guards, very different from all the spiders Elliott had ever seen, was standing next to the queen spider's corpse. It noticed Elliott's presence.
The spider charged at Elliott at full speed with the intention of killing him with one blow. However, this time Elliott did not dodge the attack. Rather, he landed directly on the spider's head.
Elliott thrusts the sword into the spider's head and says an incantation in an ancient language.
"ᛞᛖᛒᛟᚱᚨᚱ"
(Note: This "ᛞᛖᛒᛟᚱᚨᚱ" means to devour in Germanic runes).
At that moment, energy as red as blood shot out from the blade of the sword and seeped into the spider's head.
"Kriikric!
The spider began to scream and twitch frantically as it felt its blood being sucked out.
The sword began to suck the spider's blood at a terrifying speed.
[You have absorbed vitality and energy.]
"KRIKRIKRIKIKIKRIC!!!!"
The spider cried out in wrenching pain.
Elliott hearing the spider's heartbreaking cry clutches his head tighter as if he was riding a mechanical bull. And he plunged his sword deeper with the intention of rendering the spider bloodless.
As the sword sucked the blood out of the spider, Elliott felt something building up in his body.
[You have absorbed vitality and energy]
[Your strength has increased by 1]
[Your health has increased by 2]
....
As the messages accumulated at an accelerated rate, the guardian spider began to dry out, its exoskeleton beginning to become visible. Until the spider did not move completely and its entire body was left as a mummy.
[You have killed the moon spider queen and her guard. Bonus points will be provided].
[You have obtained 700 points.]
[The moon spiders have begun to flee in fear at the sight of their dead queen and guardian. The cave will soon collapse.]
