Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Who would have thought that a high-level vampire would become someone else’s slave, especially a creature that is only level 45!”

Ramirez looked at Justin, who was trying his best to stop him. He could not help but laugh at him.

Justin was not angry. Instead, he said in a deep voice, “Don’t be too proud. When you die, you don’t even have the right to become a soul! Don’t worry, the kid will kill you in the cruelest way. He will not give up!”

Ramirez smiled in disbelief and said, “No way. Are you talking about the outsider who left you alone and ran for his life? Does he even have the power to kill me? He is weak. He was lucky that he could kill a few apostles. He won’t be able to kill me today. I still have to take back the authority of all the Elf Kings from him!”

Ramirez roared loudly as if he was swearing an oath. He waved his metal-wrapped hands in front of him and tore apart the bloodthirsty array that was imprisoning him. He leaped and was about to fly out of the city.

Justin had already expected it. When he noticed that Ramirez had lost control of himself, he immediately raised his hand and pointed in Ramirez’s direction. He shouted in a deep voice, “Refine the blood!”

The pitch-black blood floating in front of Justin was like a soldier obeying the orders of a general. It instantly exploded into countless tiny blood columns that shot through the sky toward Ramirez.

At that moment, Ramirez’s main focus was to catch up with Vincent as soon as possible and take back the divine sparks of the six Elf Kings. As for Justin, he was in his soul state, so he was able to ignore the attacks of the other party.

Ramirez believed that with the super recovery ability of the demons, he could definitely withstand Justin’s attacks!

However, at that moment, Ramirez did not expect that his own blood was being used to make Justin’s most powerful weapon. The weapon could be said to be chasing closely after him.

Justin used his best endeavor to chase after Ramirez while rapidly casting one spell after another. However, those spells were not targeted at Ramirez. Instead, they were targeting the countless streams of blood.

“Return quickly!”

As Justin shouted, the blood pillars that were flying in the air instantly increased in speed. It flew behind Ramirez like dozens of spears. They penetrated the metal armor and skin on his back. They surged into his body and blended with the blood in his body.

“Blood Death Penalty Restraint!” shouted Justin again.

The blood that had been refined returned to Ramirez’s body in an instant. It then began to assimilate all the blood in his body. His blood gradually solidified, forming a steel-like frame that not only controlled his movements but also pinned him in the middle of the air. He was no longer able to continue pursuing Vincent.

Justin took the opportunity to quickly catch up with Ramirez and shouted in a deep voice, “Blood and Death Brambles!”

As Justin cast another spell, Ramirez’s body expanded in an instant. Countless blood thorns that were half a meter long pierced through his skin, making Ramirez look like a giant hedgehog.

As the spell continued, more and more blood thorns appeared and gradually cut through Ramirez’s skin, causing it to explode in the air like a black firework.

Justin looked at the scattered aura of the demon world in front of him and could not help but let out a proud sigh.

Blood refinement was a very powerful system ability. It could extract a large amount of blood from the opponent’s body through an array and refine it into a blood weapon that was only under his control in a short period of time.

Justin’s blood refinement ability and different spells allowed him to crush Ramirez with blood.

The way the blood returned to the original owner’s body was extremely violent. During the process, it would no doubt cause injury to the owner’s body at the first instant. The process could not be stopped because the blood that was refined was originally one with the owner. The mutual attraction between the two could not be affected by any force.

The refined blood would then assimilate the remaining blood in the original owner’s body. Most living beings would die immediately after losing their blood. This was the second injury.

After that, all the blood in the owner’s body would solidify like steel. Only under Justin’s control would it bend at will. This allowed Justin to control the actions of the enemy to a certain extent. At the same time, he could also maintain the degree of solidification of the blood, causing the opponent’s entire body to stiffen, resulting in the third injury.

Next was the most powerful move of the blood refinement ability. It allowed the enemy’s blood to explode together with his body, destroying his entire body from the inside out. Even the demon core hidden in the enemy’s body would not be able to escape this attack that had almost no blind spots. This caused Ramirez to burst into the aura of the Demon World that filled the sky.

Justin was unusually emotional at that moment. He recalled his cowardly performance when he faced Gajero for the first time in the world of the Vampire Race.

At that time, he did not even dare to attack Gajero and was hesitant. He was not as smooth as he was at that moment. He had directly killed the other party through a mistake.

What motivated Justin was not only the hatred he had for the demons as the Vampire Race’s leader, but also the shock he had experienced after staying in Vincent’s body for the past few days.

Although Vincent’s growth speed was astonishing, he was still only a level 45 creature and was a weak human.

However, when he faced the demons that were stronger than him, not only did he not retreat, but he also took the initiative to think of ways to kill them. He would not stop until he achieved his goal!

His spirit had once caused Justin to pay the price of his life. At the same time, it also shocked Justin. He could not help but be convinced by Vincent’s madness.

That was why Justin had unconsciously inherited Vincent’s belief in battle. He did not care about the price that he had to pay to cause the greatest damage to his enemy. This allowed Justin to personally kill a demon.

“If I could do it all over again, I think the Vampire World might not necessarily fall. At the very least, I would be able to hold on for a longer period of time! It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to do it all over again…”

Justin floated in the air and muttered to himself. His tone was filled with self-blame and frustration.

When he was in the capital of Ultimate Evil, he was a follower who needed to compromise with the governance of evil. He was also a very treacherous merchant. However, that was only because he and the vampires behind him needed to survive.

As the leader of the vampires, Justin’s biggest concern was the survival of the vampires and the place where they would live in the future.

The original Vampire World had long been destroyed by demons. The remaining vampires could only hide in the capital of Ultimate Evil and struggle for their lives. They had long lost the fighting spirit to revive their race.

However, this belief in survival was fully reflected in Vincent. This was also the reason why Justin was willing to help Vincent!

Although Vincent had killed him personally, restrained his soul, and forced him to sign a contract, it was still unable to stop Justin from feeling admiration toward Vincent’s unyielding spirit.

Just as Justin was distracted by his emotions, a cyclone formed by the Demon World’s aura suddenly exploded in the air. It soon formed a one-eyed demon core.

The demon aura that filled the sky began to condense rapidly with the demon core as the center, gradually forming a brand-new body.

Even if a demon died due to the destruction of its demon core, as long as the remaining demonic aura did not dissipate, the demon would still be able to condense its demon core. Then, with the help of the negative emotions in the world, it could then condense its own flesh and blood and resurrect once again!

Justin was startled awake by the abnormal situation around him. He raised his head to look at Ramirez, who was about to recover. He immediately cursed in his heart, because he did not have the strange cup that Vincent had. He was unable to deal with the Demon World aura that had scattered after the death of the demon. Therefore, he was unable to stop the resurrection of Ramirez.

After seeing this, Justin could not help but start to sense Vincent’s current location. However, he noticed that Vincent had just arrived at the front gate of Imperial City.

At such a distance, as long as Ramirez wanted to chase after him, he would be able to catch up to him in the blink of an eye!

Helpless, Justin could only grit his teeth and continue to stand guard on the spot, preparing for the second round of battle with Ramirez.

“Bloodthirsty array!”

Whilst Ramirez had condensed his physical body successfully, Justin had once again constructed the array. He was prepared to replicate the previous battle. He took advantage of the moment when Ramirez was unable to react and extracted the fresh blood from his body. He wanted to refine his blood.

However, this time, the array was ineffective!

No matter how hard Justin tried to activate the array, there was not a single drop of blood seeping out from Ramirez’s body. This made Justin feel exceptionally shocked.

After reviving successfully, Ramirez looked at Justin, who was full of shock, and said angrily, “You were unwilling to pay attention just now. Do you really think that you can kill me with just a single blood law? If it wasn’t for me wanting to grab hold of that foreign race that escaped with the divine spark, you wouldn’t even have the chance to extract my blood! Right now, there is no blood in my reconstructed body. The purest demonic aura is surging through my veins. Let’s see what you can use to suck it!”

Justin instantly realized that he had no means to restrain Ramirez. This was unless he immediately constructed a bigger array and drained all the Dark Elves in Imperial City of their blood to use as materials for his other spells.

However, Justin understood Vincent’s temper. If he knew about it, he would rather return and fight with him than sacrifice all the Dark Elves in the city.

Therefore, this was a useless option, and there was a possibility that it would harm Vincent and himself. Justin directly threw the idea to the back of his mind and rushed forward. He was ready to fight with Ramirez, who was covered in metal.

“You dare to face me with just a soul body? You’re courting death!”

Ramirez roared in disdain after seeing this. A pitch-black demonic flame began to burn on his body.

Justin’s soul state could ignore any physical attack. However, the demonic flame, which could not be extinguished was the biggest nemesis of all soul bodies!

This was because the eternal demonic flame could directly corrode a soul completely, causing it to die.

At that moment, six figures suddenly rushed out of the palace. Each figure was wrapped with a massive amount of demonic aura. They rushed toward Justin and Ramirez who were in the air.

After Ramirez sensed the demonic aura, he knew that it was the six lazy subordinates from the palace. He then shouted angrily at them, “You bunch of trash, only now did you come forth to help me! Hurry up and catch up with that foreign race who escaped the city. Don’t hesitate to stop him at all costs!”

“Yes!”

The six demons replied in unison. The demonic aura on their bodies instantly dispersed. At the same time, they took out their weapons and attacked Ramirez without sparing any strength.

Justin, who was about to fly into the demonic flame like a moth, was also repelled by the Demon World aura dispersed by the six demons at the same time!

The Demon World Aura, which was of the same origin as the demonic flame, formed a perfect barrier, ensuring that Justin’s entire body would not be eroded at all.

Ramirez, who was caught off guard, was stabbed through the chest by six wide-blade great swords, once again turning him into a porcupine!

Justin was stunned when he first saw the scene but later understood that Vincent must be controlling the six demons to buy time for him.

However, Justin also knew that the Cosmic Threads that could control the demons had a control range. The range could at most be within Imperial City. This meant that Vincent was not slow in escaping but had voluntarily stopped at the city gate. He was creating an opportunity for him to escape.

Justin sighed helplessly, “This kid is really smart and stupid at the same time!”

He then quickly prepared to return to Vincent’s body.

However, at that moment, Justin suddenly heard Vincent’s voice.

“Don’t come back yet! Help me keep Ramirez busy!”

Vincent’s voice kept echoing in Justin’s mind, leaving him speechless.

It seemed that Vincent did not just want to help him escape. He definitely had other thoughts!

Justin really wanted to return to Vincent’s body to let him face Ramirez’s pursuit. However, since he had already taken the initiative to become Vincent’s worker, he had to maintain the awareness of being a worker.

After a round of silent criticism, Justin still chose to listen to Vincent’s arrangements and turned around to look at Ramirez again.

Ramirez was petrified by the backhand strike of his six subordinates. He did not recover for a long time.

It was not until Justin looked at him with a malicious gaze that Ramirez exclaimed in shock, “Do you know what you are doing? I am your master! Are you doing this to betray me, to betray the demons?”

At the same time, the six demons showed the same expression and asked in unison, “But you want to betray Gajero. Aren’t we protecting the demons by killing you?”

Ramirez could not help but feel angry. However, he soon realized that something was wrong. This was because the tone of the six subordinates in front of him was very similar to that of the foreign race who had escaped!

“No! The six of you must be controlled by someone! You bunch of idiots couldn’t have lost the Cosmic Threads, right?”

Ramirez roared at the six dumb demons in front of him with an angry face.

However, the six demons did not respond to him. Instead, they lowered their heads and rotated the wide-blade great sword in their hands. They were aiming for Ramirez’s chest.

Ramirez immediately stretched out his hands and sent the two demons flying.

However, the demons being controlled by Vincent were not afraid at all. They did not dodge Ramirez’s attack. They allowed him to send them flying.

The moment they were sent flying, the two demons instantly released the great sword in their hands and left them hanging on Ramirez’s body,

The remaining four demons did not hesitate at all. One of them immediately reached out to receive the great swords left behind by his companions. He waved his hands and fiddled with Ramirez’s chest.

Just as Ramirez was about to send the two demons flying again, one of the demons suddenly turned to look at Justin and shouted loudly, “What are you still standing there for? Once you leave Imperial City, you won’t be able to control us anymore! Hurry up and use the blood on our bodies to use the power of laws!”

Justin was extremely shocked when he heard this. These demons were under Vincent’s control in terms of their thoughts. Hence, they could not use Vincent’s identity to send him a message. They could only use their identities as demons to transmit Vincent’s thoughts to him.

The demons took the initiative to ask Justin to sacrifice them. The scene was extremely strange and terrifying!

Fortunately, Justin had been the leader of the Vampire Race for many years and was used to big scenes. Therefore, he was not frightened by the demons’ request and immediately reacted.

“Bloodthirsty Array!” shouted Justin.

At the same time, he stretched out his hands and pointed in two different directions.

Two bloodthirsty arrays were formed at the same time. One of the arrays wrapped around the four demons in front of Ramirez whilst the other array caught the two demons who were flying far away. A large amount of black blood flowed out of the bodies of the six demons at the same time.

“Blood refining, Blood Demon Avatars!”

Justin cast another spell. He refined the two masses of blood and split them into ten avatars. The avatars flew toward Ramirez like arrows released from a bow.

Ramirez finally became anxious. After sending the two demons flying, he grabbed the necks of the remaining two demons and crushed their bodies like how he had executed the demon who had said the wrong thing previously. He then grabbed the two demon cores and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them vigorously.

This was because he had to find a way to escape and recover the life force that he had lost as soon as possible!

At that moment, the ten blood demon avatars arrived one after another and rushed into Ramirez’s arms as if they wanted to hug him.

When the avatars made of blood touched Ramirez again, they passed through Ramirez’s body as if they were souls.

Ramirez, who was chewing on the core of demons, instantly frowned because he felt that they had taken away a large amount of demonic aura in his body and left some blood in his body instead!

If this continued, his strength would continue to weaken, and his body would once again be filled with blood to be controlled by Justin.

Ramirez immediately let out an angry roar like a wild beast, “B*stard, you forced me to do this!”
