Words : 1531 Updated : Oct 9th, 2025

Suddenly, I unleash my vampire aura, allowing a burst of crimson energy to erupt from within me. It envelops my entire being, swirling and pulsating as if hungry to consume everything in its path. My muscles bulge and tense, empowered by the surge of power coursing through my veins. As the crimson aura dances around me, my hair floats back in a wavy manner, seemingly ignited by the fiery energy. "Fight me with all your might, for I won't hold back," I declare, assuming a confident stance. Roth, undeterred by my display of power, wears a small smile. In response, a sudden surge of aura erupts from him, causing stones and debris to lift into the air. His aura, compared to mine, possesses a more aggressive and ferocious nature. While it may not match the sheer reserve of my own aura, there is no denying its monstrous intensity, reminiscent of a warlock's aura. I can only imagine the formidable force it will become if he evolves to the Vampire Lord stage. One thing about Roth is his unwavering dedication to training. His commitment knows no bounds, and as a result, he has achieved a physique even stronger than that of a Vampire Lord, despite being at the Vampire Noble stage. His body exudes an indomitable strength, resembling that of a warlock, while his aura reserve is nothing short of incredible. Roth's onslaught shows no signs of relenting as another burst of neon-colored energy erupts from his body, merging with his vampire aura. The resulting aura expands several meters around him, swirling like a furious tornado. The sheer intensity of his presence is undeniable. As I witness the fusion of his vampire aura and this newfound ki energy, a realization dawns upon me—I had severely underestimated Roth's determination and drive to catch up to me. Just how much training has he endured to reach this level of power? "Jake! Even after witnessing my ki, will you still hold back?" Roth bellows, his eyes glimmering with a crazed determination. I let out a weary sigh. If I were to fight him with my full ki reserve, it would complicate matters when facing Zero. While I am confident in my swordsmanship, this battle calls for unarmed combat. "Very well," I reply, a sudden burst of neon-colored energy erupting from my body, extending several meters around me. The force of my aura causes Roth to instinctively leap backward, landing firmly on the ground. "Roth, there are two qualities that make a man great, —hard work and talent. Your relentless dedication and unwavering spirit are truly admirable. However, I possess natural talent. I was born for this," I state with conviction, raising my hand high. Hearing my words, Roth clenches his teeth, a mixture of frustration and determination etched across his face. "Assimilation... Sword Intent," I utter, my voice steady as a massive tornado of ki swirls around both of my hands. With this technique, I can infuse my hands with the sharpness and precision of swords. "Blood Space... Behemoth's Punch, ten stacks," Roth mutters in response. Behind him, several crimson portals materialize, emanating an ominous aura. Concurrently, black miasma dances around his hands, accentuating the formidable power he wields. The battlefield becomes charged with a palpable tension as our auras intertwine, creating a maelstrom of energy. The clash between us is no longer a simple contest of physical strength but a battle of wills, talents, and the forces that course through our very beings. As the storm of power swells, I brace myself, fully embracing the immense potential within me. The time has come to push beyond my current limits, to unveil the culmination of my talent and training. Suddenly, I propel myself forward, charging headlong towards Roth, and he mirrors my movements with equal determination. The ground beneath our feet scorches as our paths leave a trail of searing marks. The air around us ripples and distorts, giving the illusion of teleportation as our movements blur with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, I close the distance between us, launching a powerful punch aimed at Roth's face. But he reacts swiftly, ducking his head and evading my strike with a hair's breadth. My hand meets nothing but empty air. Almost simultaneously, he retaliates with an uppercut, his movements surpassing my own in speed and agility. Fuck... BOOOM! An explosive impact reverberates through the air as his blow lands cleanly on my chin, propelling me high into the sky. The sheer force of the strike sends me hurtling through the atmosphere, temporarily suspended in mid-air. What was that punch? I piece it together now. With his mastery of space manipulation, Roth was able to amplify the first stage of the Behemoth Punch, multiplying its power tenfold. It's a clever move on his part, exploiting the full potential of his abilities. However, I am not one to be outdone so easily. I possess the true Behemoth Punch, a technique that surpasses its popular variations. While many vampires are only able to utilize the first or second stage, I have a vast array of exclusive techniques at my disposal. The arsenal of original techniques developed by me and Sanguine far surpasses what most vampires can comprehend. Slowly, I begin my descent from the heights to which I was launched. Thanks to the protective shield of ki surrounding my body, the impact of Roth's uppercut is dampened, its damage minimized. This is one of the advantages of having a large ki pool and channeling it through a resilient and tough physique.I think you should take a look at In the blink of an eye, I touch down on the ground, my gaze fixed on Roth as he charges at me once more. Hmph! He unleashes a flurry of punches, aiming to overwhelm me with his rapid succession of strikes. However, I remain calm, studying his fighting style and the patterns in which he throws his punches. Despite his speed advantage, I am able to deftly evade each blow, sidestepping and weaving through the onslaught with precision. Unrelenting, Roth follows up with a powerful kick, his leg enveloped in a swirling aura of ki. Caught off guard by his sudden movement, I instinctively raise both hands, forming an 'x' shape to intercept his kick. BOOM! The impact reverberates through the air as his powerful kick crashes into my hands. Craters form beneath my feet, the ground buckling under the force of the collision. Despite my defensive maneuver, the sheer power behind his attack sends me skidding backward, struggling to maintain my balance. With unwavering determination, I regain my footing, ready to rise to the challenge that Roth presents. "Fight me! Show me your true strength! Is this all you've got? Is this your peak?" Roth bellows, his voice brimming with fervor as he charges toward me once again. "Sure, I'll show you what I've got," I declare, my voice resolute. Slamming my right leg into the ground, a ripple of power surges through the earth. Instantly, several stones lift into the air, suspended by an unseen force, while my vampire aura engulfs me in a blazing display of fiery intensity. Roth lunges forward, his left hand aimed at my skull, intending to deliver a powerful blow. Swiftly, I contort my upper body, bending backward with almost unnatural flexibility, my feet planted firmly on the ground, supporting my weight. Seizing the opportunity, I retaliate with a lightning-fast kick, my right foot soaring upward to strike him square on the chin. BOOOM! The impact echoes through the area, resonating with the sound of solid iron colliding. The force of my kick connects with resounding accuracy, launching Roth into the air, his body sent flying. "Now, it's my turn," I mutter, a determined glint in my eyes. Crouching down low, I gather an immense amount of energy within my thighs and calves. The air crackles with anticipation as I prepare to launch myself skyward, chasing after Roth, who is still recovering from the force of my blow. With an explosive burst of power, I propel myself into the air, defying gravity's hold. The world around me blurs as I ascend, my movements swift and fluid. The wind rushes past me, the exhilaration of flight surging through my veins. As I close the gap between us, Roth's form comes into focus. He is still caught off guard, struggling to regain his momentum after the forceful impact. =================================== Join our Discord server for updates and to view character illustrations. https://discord.gg/RF8pvt6KJv Cast your votes using power stones and golden tickets to unlock more chapters. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
