Chapter 278

He needs to finish this fight quickly, unfortunately, because he stopped earlier to assess his current condition.

The vampire king finally manage to react.

Realizing that his opponent actually is superior in terms of speed, he covers himself with his servants.

Vampires are known for their blood manipulation, intelligence, pride, and beauty.

These are the common information people think of when they hear about them but in fact, there’s one thing that they are also confident in.

Their speed.

They don’t want to bulky or tanky like other undead, they transform into assassin fighters with both speed and lethality.

For Sean to outspeed him, this was an insult that he can’t forgive nor forget.

Sean was already aiming for his next attack, it’s the same strange posture he used when he attacked the large swarm of bats earlier.

The vampire king’s expression changes as he stabs the tendrils to the ground and braces himself.

BOOM!

The air cannon blasted off again.

The power annihilates everything surrounding the vampire king, even destroying a large clump of the blood dots that made up the tendrils.

’This human is too dangerous! I must kill him!’ Fear flashes in the eyes of the vampire king.

Sean was huffing and puffing, he didn’t expect that he would be so exhausted in just a couple of attacks.

"Man, I wish I have my full strength right now."

He needs to rest, without hesitation, he hides himself, causing the vampire king to be confused.

He stares at him intensely, not moving an inch, the vampire king still searches for him, afraid to be attacked by the air cannon once again.

Now!

He bursts with great speed, hitting the vampire king’s back, as the two of them flies from the force of impact.

BOOM!

They crashed to the ground, creating a crater.

Sean’s body is now riddled with wounds, the tendrils were stabbing him throughout the entire time of their flight.

"Human!" The vampire king hisses but what greets him was an incredibly fast punch.

A blow that carries his entire force, it’s an attack that is made together with his step-in.

Basically, the One Step Punch but he wasn’t able to travel, just generate power from his weight and force.

Before the vampire king can recover, he hits him three times in quick succession.

One hits him in the forehead, one hits him in the heart, and the last one hits him in the core.

While rattled from the Three strikes, he shifts his hand into a blade hand.

With his nerves bulging, you can see that this strike isn’t something you can just take.

Blade Slash!

As he cuts the head of the vampire king, he was suddenly kicked in the chest.

The blood dots converges towards his neck and the head reconnects itself from the body.

"That nearly killed me!"

Cavalry Thrust!

Without any additional buff, this strike now lacks the flair it once had, still, it was lethal.

His hand was an inch away from stabbing itself towards the vampire king’s core but it was blocked by the blood dots.

"Die!"

Two tendrils converges towards him at every direction, upon seeing this, Sean didn’t retreat, only advances.

He pulls back and assumes a striking position, not caring about the closing tendrils.

With a deep breath, he charges a powerful punch, aiming at the core.

BOOM!

Their attacks lands at the same time.

The body of the vampire king was blown apart, while the tendrils pierces through Sean’s body.

The vampire king vomits blood, his core was destroyed, even as a vampire, it’s a grave injury.

"I must apologize, I was planning on capturing you alive to become a test subject and also spare the courageous women that sacrificed themselves to become your lover."

Sean starts speaking with blood leaking on his mouth.

The vampire king tries to absorb his blood but was burned, causing him to cry in pain.

"Forget about it, the blood that you absorbed earlier was in a dormant state, that’s why you managed to miraculously absorb them, now that they are activated, someone of your trait would only get burned if you try."

He sighs, he steps forward and assumes the strange striking posture once again.

The vampire king picked the wrong move, he shouldn’t had absorbed Sean’s blood in their active state.

Right now, he can’t move, the burning sensation hurts more than Sean’s strike.

"Goodbye, vampire king, you were a powerful opponent." He praises.

BOOM!

Like a small nuke exploding, the entire place evaporated in an instant.

Sean also fainted after that attack.

*****

"How long had I been unconscious." When he opened his eyes, it was already quite bright.

He’s feeling quite hungry, forcing his body, he went to the nearest city, without hesitation, he breaks into the stronghold of the vampire there and starts devouring the food they kept to control the masses.

After having his fill, he made a call to Jasmine, telling her to bring San’s subordinates, specifically, the vampire clan to Zone L.

He’s going to give their enemy the illusion that Zone L is still standing tall.

He just doesn’t know if his messages are getting through.

Back on Golden Qi Capital, Jasmine receives his message.

Upon hearing his plan, she immediately went to Beast World.

Looking at the bright world, she smiles, taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes.

When she opens them again, she’s already in an entirely new world.

"Lady Jasmine, lord Sans has sent me to escort you." In front of him, a beautiful woman was bowing respectfully.

Around them were houses that all have strange designs, with some look advanced, some look luxurious, some look modern, and some that downright looks like something that belongs to a horror movie.

She was escorted to a giant palace, everywhere, undead of different species were moving about.

When they arrived at the throne room, the beautiful girl excuses herself.

"Stay, what we’re going to talk about concerns you and your clan."

The beautiful girl freezes, she turns to the man sitting on the throne, seeing him just sitting there, it seems that he accepted Jasmine’s request.

"Sister, you finally sought after me, pray tell, what is it that you seek?"

"It’s been some time, little brother, master instructed me to talk to you, he requests the aid of your subordinates from the vampire clan."

"Master has returned?"

She frowns. "How can you not notice his presence arriving in this world?"

"Hmm, I am fully occupied all the time, still, not even noticing our master has returned is a bit rude of me."

"No matter, your presence here settles our heart, with you here, the balance of our world will continue to exist."

He was actually happy to hear his siblings praising him.

"I shall send my trusted subordinate with you, she will follow all of your arrangements without fail."

"I know, by the way, don’t shoulder the burden of keeping our world a better place, you can ask help from your brother, Pangaea."

Sans become silence, he shakes his head. "I will, probably in the future but, you should know my current situation, I can’t leave this world, without anything productive to do, I will feel useless."

"I want to blame your race for this type of mentality but I can’t, all of us feels the same but I’m telling you this for a different reason."

Sans pauses and looks at her with intensity.

Obtaining an advice from his older sibling will definitely prove useful, this is his confidence on his family.

"Inspirations, sometimes, just knowledge isn’t enough, in fact, most of the time, ideas can transform knowledge into power or might, don’t constrict yourself in one mindset, you also belong to our family, I know that you have it in you."

After Jasmine left, Sans continues to ponder over her words, he might had truly been stuck in just one mindset all of this time.

Developing the world in a stable manner but if he wants to reach greater height, he needs to think outside the box.

"I can’t believe that just a single conversation from my older sibling would give so much clarity on my mind."

Meanwhile, outside, the vampires were brought back by Jasmine to the city hall.

She shares to them the current plan, she’s going to bring them there herself, of course, in her true body.

She wonders how her master will react after hearing this, it’s just, that zone is too tempting for her.

A place full of energy similar to hers, it’s basically a cultivation paradise for her people.

Once the connections between the zones are established through space gate, she will claim Zone L as hers, protecting the survivors there, while also trying to expand her power.

Back on Zone L, Sean was resting, after that battle, he had to summarized his experience.

The people around him were looking at him with confusion.

"You’re going to leave?"

"Not right now, I’m waiting for the fake vampires to at least reach the nearby zones for me to leave."

"Are they strong?" Asks one of the girls, she’s one of the lucky female survivors of their zone.

"Yes, either as strong as the vampire king or probably even stronger." He doesn’t really know the strength of Sans’ undead subordinates.

He just knew that the undead that were stuck on the peak of gold rank has definitely reached the Innate Realm.

The accumulation of power of hundreds of thousands of years isn’t so little, with such amount of time experienced, it’s actually not really surprising God them to easily break through to higher realm.

"Innates, the number of Innates on our side, is not small and are definitely a threat to our enemies."

The only reason why he is reluctant to call for their help is because he’s afraid that their identities might be mistaken by their allies.

That’s why, he only asks for the vampire clan, since, they’re not really going to participate in battle, they can stay here and manage this zone together with the Fox Spirits.

Besides, they can also obtain blood once again, there are now syringes and more modern way to obtain blood, the procedures are clean, efficient, and quick.

Also, with the gentle nature of the yin energy in the zone, their feeding instinct would be suppressed.

The survivors turns to each other, they are still shaken by the news that their oppressors were killed by just one man.

"I’m interested in this land but I’m not going to transform it into a slxve state, it’s going to return to a bit more human governed state but the laws are going to be written by me and you."

The people nods their heads, a large number of them were killed during their first battle for survival.

They lost miserably, now, they are given another chance to start anew.

"After the war, the first project of this land is going to be the creation of memorial of heroes, those that had died and sacrificed themselves to protect this land."

He still can’t deny the undying hearts of those courageous women and he shall honour them so.

"War?" They currently don’t know what’s happening in their world.

"Yes, currently, the invaders have gathered to the Core Zone, trying to conquer it before HE returns."

"Trying? Are they afraid?"

"Yes, I belong to Zone Z, the strongest human territory of this world, it’s the only place safe for humans to live peacefully."

"Not the Core Zone!?"

"Hmph! That place can’t even protect itself, how can it dare claim it’s the strongest territory, meanwhile, the invaders are afraid of stepping into Zone Z."

Everyone can’t help but feel disappointed after hearing this, the Core Zone holds a special position in their heart, they can’t deny that what they experienced has thoroughly crushed their hope for their humanity’s former strongest territory.

"You said, before he returns, what do you mean by this?" There was one that was perceptive enough to notice his words.
