The Geared Immortal

Chapter 749 - Vampire

Chapter 749

(Unedited)

A tall dark creature donned in a black leathery cape-like thing slowly walks out of the shadows. Since its figure was already discovered by its prey, it decided to reveal itself before killing the human.

Shin Jiao saw that the vampire is around 2 meters in height, with a face that looks like a human and a bat with long sharp black ears that seem to look like horns on the side of its head. The vampire's body is not visible due to the leathery black cape around its body, but Shin Jiao noticed its beast-like feet. Dark claws extended out of its paw-like feet and a dark aura exudes out of those claws.

Shin Jiao knew that those claws have poison in them.

"I think he uses those claws to paralyze his victim while he feeds on them." he thought as he observes his opponent.

Vampires like their victim alive and screaming while they feed. This way, the blood could pump faster giving the creature satisfaction and pleasure while it devours every single drop of blood from its victim's body.

"Human… I have been trapped in this place for eons. You should be honored to be my prey…" the vampire muttered as he slowly takes out a black box.

When Shin Jiao saw the black box that looks like a finely crafted square stone, his brows scrunched. He didn't know why, but he had a suspicion that this vampire has caught some humans or high elves before.

Judging from the black box, he suspected that his conjecture might be right.

He didn't say anything and just calmly watches his opponent who has that smug look on his ugly face.

"From your reaction, I think you knew what this thing is… Hihi… I have observed the war between humans and the other races. I was fascinated with this object and decided to get some for myself. And now, I can play with some of you to my heart's desire. That would relieve me of my boredom for a while. Hihihi…"

The words from the vampire made Shin Jiao feel a bit uneasy. But he did not put his guard down; instead, he took out his black katana and prepares himself to fight.

"A demon-like you should just return from where you came from." Shin Jiao said as he suddenly rushes to attack his opponent.

Upon seeing its prey being aggressive, a slight smile appears on the vampire's crooked mouth.

"Interesting… Let's see if you are a cut above the rest…" the vampire said as it also dashes towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao saw that the cape surrounding the vampire's body suddenly moved and it turns out to be its wings. One of its clawed hands extended to take a strike towards Shin Jiao while its other hand tried to block the black katana blade.

Shin Jiao suddenly controlled his energy and sent the glowing katana towards his opponent's claws.

Clang!

The sound of two metals hitting each other echoed through the cavern as the vampire blocks the cold black sword.

Then its other hand was directed at Shin Jiao's shoulder. A smile slowly crept on its face as it could see its attack getting through in this single exchange of attack.

Yet as soon as its claws are about to hit Shin Jiao's shoulder, Shin Jiao suddenly tilted his body to a slight angle and lets the claw pass miss its target.

With this skill and sharp perception, Shin Jiao did not need to move with great effort just to dodge a strike. With his sharp movement, he could dodge anything that is not faster than his perception by a hair's breadth.

Shin Jiao did not stop his movement up to that part. The katana being blocked by his opponent suddenly slices downward and Shin Jiao's body suddenly twisted from below the vampire with his sword following a circular motion.

As the vampire is exposed to its opponent's unexpected quick reflex and movement, it was not able to dodge as its body was bisected in half.

Shin Jiao ended up in a slicing stance behind the bisected vampire.

"Sigh… That was it? That was quick." Shin Jiao muttered with a tone of helplessness in his voice.

Then suddenly, he feels that something is off. This is because as he extended his senses, he could feel the blood splattered in the room suddenly floating in the air and as if with a mind of their own began to cluster towards the bisected body of his opponent.

Then in just two seconds, the vampire was once again standing with its body back to its original shape.

"That was a good move… human. I never knew that someone as skilled as you would appear in my cave… this is going to be interesting." the vampire said as he suddenly rushes towards Shin Jiao who is standing calmly with his back exposed to his opponent.

When the vampire rushes forward, Shin Jiao suddenly took a quick draw stance.

With his senses extended around him, he suddenly feels his body becoming a bit stiff.

"Domain… this thing is a lord?" Shin Jiao thought.

However, with a shake of his own domain, he immediately freed himself from his opponent's shackles.

As soon as he was freed, a sharp claw appears in his sight. Shin Jiao did not hesitate to tilt his head to the side dodging the claw. It was a close attack as his eyes look at the claw passing near his cheeks in slow motion.

But as soon as the vampire was about to initiate his other claw to attack, Shin Jiao suddenly made his move.

The butt of the sword suddenly extended and hit the vampire's stomach which stunned the creature. Then within a close range, Shin Jiao initiated the skill, Perfect Defense sword.

This move would encircle the body of the user with quick sword slashes that could even deflect bullets or slice those near them. It is not a passive defense but an active defense that could take a lot from a normal human's strength.

But Shin Jiao is not a normal human; hence he pulled the skill easily with his already level 75 physique.

The vampire was sliced into chunks as its body passes through Shin Jiao.

Every bit of its sliced flesh was scattered to the ground along with its blood which almost filled the ground.

Shin Jiao took a distance and was still in vigilance. He didn't know his enemy's weakness so he could not let his guard down.

As soon as he did, he saw the same thing happened. The vampire's flesh, bones, and blood within just two seconds congeal and transform once again into the vampire's figure.

"Damn, this one is a tough opponent." Shin Jiao muttered to himself.

"Haha… That same reaction is what I saw to those that dare confront me. I am an immortal lord of the darkness. I was born a vampire, a true demon from the abyss and I want you to despair… human." the vampire said as it charges once again towards Shin Jiao.

Instead of slicing his opponent, Shin Jiao decided to defend this time. He knew that it was useless to cut the bastard into pieces as it would still form its body back to shape. He could not use fire or any element as it is not strong enough to resist a lord-level enemy.

Bang!

In this exchange, Shin Jiao was sent flying as the two collided. The vampire staggered a few steps as the black katana was embedded on its stomach.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao while flying somersaulted in the air and let his feet land on the cavern wall. Then using his feet, he pushes hard on the wall which shows some cracks on its surface where Shin Jiao's feet were planted.

Swoosh!!!

The speed of Shin Jiao was too fast as his figure suddenly appears in front of the surprised vampire. He held the katana in his hand then with a smile, he muttered.

"Bursting point!"

The accumulated static universal energy at the black katana's tip suddenly began to go wild as the Dao became chaotic. The reaction of the chaos in the Dao laws at the tip of the sword created a powerful chain reaction.

The vampire's expression turned ugly as it noticed that something is amiss within its body.

Shin Jiao suddenly pulled the sword and held it in front of him while a thing barrier was suddenly erected.

Ka-Boom!!!

A loud explosion happened which sent everything inside the caverns into ruins.

The people with Shin Jiao who were fighting outside and are now behind the barrier are looking at the now thicker dust cloud surrounding them.

They all felt the large tremor which made some of them fall to the ground and also heard the powerful explosion which hit the barrier. The heart of Ji Ha-jun jumps in worry as he did not want Master Si Ji to be caught by the opponent. However, he could not leave his son in this place, especially with the presence of the Lightning Pangolin.

Luna who is among the group seems to have felt her heart jump upon feeling the huge tremor in the cavern. She was scared that something might have gone wrong, so she wanted to rush out and look for Shin Jiao.

As her figure dashes outside the barrier, the people could not help themselves but sigh. They need to follow the command of their leaders.

Since they are told to stay put, they did not have a choice but to follow.

However, Luna is a different story.

She didn't know why she felt anxious but she trusted her feeling and decided to rush towards the inner cavern.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the dome, she was shocked to see large boulders that seem to be the result of a cave-in blocks her path.

Now, this situation has made her think that her conjecture was correct.

"Si Ji might be in danger...." she muttered.
