When Dracula finally came out of the dark realm, he had managed to calm his nerves down a bit, however he could not help but still feel edgy.
The very essence of Max Rajput was unsettling for him as things were not quite what he expected them to be.
Max had grown exponentially stronger in his blood manipulation techniques since the first time Dracula saw him and while he could not match up to his mastery yet, he was not very far behind either.
Unfortunately, that was the only department where Dracula felt like he held any real edge over Max as everywhere else he was being outdone by the tier7 newbie.
Max was absurdly strong and fast, more so than he who was near the absolute peak of tier8 and that was inconceivable to Dracula.
Dracula could not wrap his head around the incredible stat boost that made Max as strong as he was and it was this secret that made him genuinely respect Max as a warrior.
