Chapter 141 Ascension Ceremony (VIII)

However, Duke Brad's obstruction had no effect at all, and the raging flames still mercilessly devoured the vampire derivative on the stone pillar.

Alexia, the Duke's eldest daughter and a symbol of arrogance, died.

She is the oldest, noblest, most powerful and perfect embodiment of arrogance among all the vampire offspring. Duke Brad had imagined countless times the scene of absorbing her, what an intoxicating power that would be.

Sadly, she is gone now.

"Let's end this."

The air was distorted by the blazing flames, and white smoke filled the air.

Cassius closed his mouth with a lingering feeling and glanced at the vampire who was almost losing his mind and was attacking from the sky.

"No, Alexia, my only treasure."

"Go to hell——"

Duke Brad's roar became sharper and sharper, eventually turning into a piercing scream. His body suddenly expanded to nearly five meters, his pupils turned into a deep black-red, his skin changed rapidly from pale to nearly gray, his fingers turned into sharp claws, and a huge bat wing spread out behind him - this was an undead monster transformed from an incompletely ascended vampire.

At this moment, Duke Brad no longer had his previous nobility. He was naked like a wild beast, with a strange black tattoo on his exposed chest.

The vampire turned into a blurry shadow and wandered in the sky. Countless shadow tentacles emerged from his body, and there was a thick green dark fog in the air.

[Withering]

These undead energies will suck the moisture and vitality out of the bodies of all living people, turning them into blood food.

Cassius used the strategy of defeating the enemy first, with purple magical light flashing in his pupils, as he observed and predicted the monster's ghostly flight path.

"I see you."

Just as the dark shadow shrouded in thick fog was approaching.

[Spell Negative Barrier]

A barrier of fine glimmering light surrounded Cassius, calming the restless magic web and dispelling the withering spell. The vampire, without the cover of the thick fog, immediately revealed its ugly figure.

The red dragon stretched out its giant claws, grabbed the vampire who was caught off guard in the air, dragged it to the ground, and then slapped the vampire to the ground as if slapping an annoying fly.

The vampire wanted to fight back and break free from the shackles, but under the absolute power suppression of the red dragon, all struggles seemed pale and powerless.

Suddenly the rocks shattered, and the vampire was crushed several feet into the ground, almost turned into a meat patty.

"Do not--"

The vampire let out a shrill wail, trying to turn into a blood mist and flee in all directions, but the spell-nullifying barrier made the surrounding magic net as solid as a rock, making it unable to unleash any spell-like abilities.

Even though he was crushed under the claws of the red dragon, with his flesh and blood squeezed and deformed, his bones broken and his skin pierced, this vampire with the original sin of "gluttony" was still recovering at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood around him rushed towards him.

As long as the tens of thousands of lives he has accumulated over the past two centuries are not exhausted, he can be resurrected again and again, and no one can kill him.

Fresh flesh and bones continue to grow, restoring the vampire's bloody and unrecognizable body to its original state, before being crushed again and growing out again, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Even though his body was ravaged like a piece of rag, the vampire was still laughing wildly; "Reptile, you can't kill me! I am immortal!

"I can stay here with you forever."

"Until you die!"

Cassius looked down at him.

"A pathetic fellow who is barely alive..."

The corner of Cassius' mouth curled up into an extremely cruel and violent smile that he himself was not even aware of, just like any red dragon when it was angry.

"Then I will make you realize what is the 'truth of death that can never be reached'."

Cassius suddenly exerted force with his forelimbs, his muscles bulged, veins protruded, and even white smoke was emitted.

This is the purest form of physical strength and is also the symbol of the Red Dragon.

"Boom!" With a dull sound, the ground of the stone platform sank violently.

"Useless"

Before the vampire finished speaking, he was crushed into a meat pie again, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere, brains burst out, bones shattered, and even a bloody pit formed on the ground. The vampire had lost consciousness at this time, and even he needed several seconds to recover from such injuries.

At this moment, Cassius lifted the spell-nullifying barrier.

His chest once again revealed the texture of lava, and a dazzling white light appeared in his throat.

[Extremely effective flame breath]

The pillar of fire immediately engulfed the vampire's ugly body.

But Cassius did not stop.

The blazing white flames with terrifying temperatures continued to burn, gradually melting the ground. The rocks in the deep pit turned into slowly flowing, fiery red and hot viscous lava flows, like molten steel just out of the furnace, wrapping around the vampire's body and making a hissing sound.

During this time, the vampire regained consciousness for a moment and realized that the spell-nullifying barrier had been lifted.

But turning into blood mist in the magma would not allow his evil origin to escape. It would only cause him to burn more thoroughly and make the next recovery time longer.

When he realized this, the high-temperature magma immediately burned his skin and then melted his flesh and blood.

During this process, new flesh and blood grew out, and then was burned again.
"Tsk, tsk, what a powerful immortality."

Even Cassius had to sigh at the vampire's terrifying recovery ability after absorbing the original sin of "gluttony". The destruction of the magma and his recovery were proceeding simultaneously. New flesh continued to replace the burnt flesh and blood, and charred shells had appeared outside his body.

The vampire twisted and struggled in the deep pit of magma.

"pain"

"it hurts."

A suppressed sound came from the bottom of the magma.

"I curse you."

"I'd give anything to kill you."

Cassius felt a powerful fluctuation of magic power coming from the bottom of the magma, and he was immediately shocked.

"Does he have another trump card?"

The red dragon quickly stretched out its claws to grab the vampire at the bottom of the lava and pulled it out effortlessly.

The vampire looked particularly miserable at this moment. His face was burned beyond recognition and covered with charred marks. Lava was slowly dripping from his body, but the mysterious tattoo on his chest emitted an intense glow, as if it was going to devour all the light.

Brad Rackman stared straight at the red dragon, a twisted smile appearing on his face, which looked particularly terrifying due to the burns.

"I'm dying."

"But you will die too."

"You will all die."

The vampire's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened, and a faint light shone through his eyes, mouth, nostrils, and even every crack in his body.

His body suddenly exploded and turned into a thick evil black mist.

But this time he didn't condense again.

Instead, it rises slowly and flows towards somewhere.

[You killed [Bloody Duke - Brad Rackman] and received 13000 XP]
This vampire that had been dormant in the north and controlled the Principality of Rackman for two hundred years finally died, and Cassius also gained a huge amount of experience, but he did not feel the slightest joy of killing a powerful enemy, but rather a little uneasy.

“This level of volatility
"Damn, what did he do?"

The red dragon's golden pupils flickered in the darkness. He stared at the black mist and flapped his wings to chase after it.
