[The First Raid Boss {Giant Blazing Wolf King (Tier 5)} has chosen you as their prey.]
[The Power of {The Unending Crimson} enhances the Boss’ Strength.]
[This Mutation has become unstable due to the enormous amount of power within it, and its Tier has increased to Tier 5 as a result.]
[The beast shall guard the Dungeon Gates with its life on the line. Raid Bosses have increased Stats and Vitality, becoming very hard to kill.]
[It is recommended to face them with many Players at once.]
“So they can become even stronger over time?!”
Paul and Chris were left almost speechless after they saw the system notification. Apparently, Raid Bosses were beings that would grow stronger over time.
It did not matter if it came from a Tier 1 Dungeon; it became as strong as Tier 4 already, and it just recently hit Tier 5! This probably explained why it was so enormous.
“Think you can beat my little guardian, tiny flames?”
The annoying voice of the Unending Crimson resonated from the jaws of the giant wolf, who charged at them at lightning speed, flames erupting from its legs, hastening the movement of its huge, heavy body.
“RAAARR!”
With a ferocious roar, the wolf opened its jaws and attempted to devour both with a single bite. Vlad barely managed to spend another 500 Arcana into a strong gust of wind, pushing him away from the deadly, blazing fangs.
CLASH!
The ground below trembled as the dog’s massive mandibles hit the floor, shattering the paved ground. Chris and Paul looked at each other for a split second, nodding.
Without saying a single word, they already knew what to do.
Chris quickly flew into the skies, higher than the wolf could jump and catch him, and started firing arrows of ice while the beast started to pull back its giant jaws from the ground, distracting it.
At the same time, with his armor on the verge of breaking down, Vlad quickly equipped it, leaving himself without his armor to protect him, but that didn’t matter at this point.
RUMBLE!
His Aura immediately changed, transforming as an immense amount of Ki surged from the depths of his very Soul, flowing through the rest of his body, and gifting the crippled vampire with the power to even surpass his own curse.
[The Character Background Trait: [Heavenly Demon’s Soul (Legendary Grade)] has been activated.]
[For 10 Minutes a day, you’ll receive 50% of the Heavenly Demon’s former strength and abilities. And all debuffs and status effects will be canceled.]
[However, your mind and body will be possessed by his unending rage, charisma, and personality.]
“I hate dogs.”
The personality of the Heavenly Demon infected Vlad as his eyes shone with golden light and his silvery-white hair grew longer, waving by the wind produced by his own aura.
“ROAR!”
The wolf charged towards him at rapid speed, quickly ignoring Chris and unleashing another beam of flames from its jaws.
{Blood Dragon Arts}: {Heaven’s Step}!
CRASH!
With a single step into the skies, Vlad stopped the beam of flames from impacting him entirely; the fire immediately dissipated as a giant gold and red dragon engulfed it completely.
BOOOM!
The dragon hit the wolf’s jaws, breaking a few of its bones and making the gigantic beast cough blood. Its crazed, blazing eyes glared down at him with utter wrath!
“What are you waiting for? Come.”
With a ferocious roar, the beast of over twenty meters in height charged against Vlad, now completely possessed by the dignity of the Heavenly Demon, the strongest bastard of the Realm of Murim that has ever existed.
Its claws swung down, covered with sharp crystals and flames. Each swipe of the wolf’s claws released explosions of flames. Vlad’s clothes were easily burning, yet his body remained unscathed.
{Blood Dragon Arts}: {Infernal Onslaught}!
Just like he had done several times before, his hands moved rapidly, and his Aura erupted with crimson and red flames as the roars of dragons echoed from each of his punches.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
He rapidly intercepted the giant wolf’s attacks, even if his hands were dozens of times smaller than the beast’s paws. Not only that, but as he blocked the monster’s attacks, he also made sure to hit hard. The beast’s front leg bones were shattered by the impact strength of each of his punches.
“Gryyaagh!”
With a deafening, agonizing scream, the wolf stepped back and unleashed yet another beam of flames from its jaws, only for Vlad to quickly swipe his hands to the left. The flames were immediately redirected to the empty building, blowing it up.

BOOOM!
“I have to kill you as quickly as possible!”
Using Heaven Step again, he stepped into the sky itself, rushing down with his foot down, his aura rapidly changing its shape once more, resembling an enormous and sharp dragon spear.
{Blood Dragon Arts}: {Red Dragon Spear}!
CRASH!
The wolf was unable to evade or even react. Vlad’s foot pierced its neck and then went down, hitting the floor beneath him and shattering the paved ground. An eruption of golden and crimson flames emerged from the wolf’s enormous wound, a huge hole through its throat.
Naturally, he destroyed its spine; it was going to die no matter what. Yet the beast vomited blood first, glaring down at him.
“I had no idea... You had such fantastic power, little flame.”
The Unending Crimson seemed fascinated.
“And I have no intention of speaking with abominations.”
With a single swipe of his arm upwards, a huge dragon claw materialized, made out of his own gold and crimson aura, tearing the wolf’s entire head off.
CRASH!
Without its vessel, the Unending Crimson finally stopped bothering him, and the monstrous wolf dropped dead over the city, making the ground tremble.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have slain the Raid Boss: {Giant Blazing Wolf King (Tier 5)}!]
[As the only person who has slain the Raid Boss, you’ve received all its Raid Points.]
[You gained +100.000 Raid Points.]
[The [Raid Boss Themed Treasure Chest (S Grade)] has been materialized.]
Vlad saw a huge black and red treasure chest materialize in front of him, with the head of a wolf on top. It emanated an Aura, which implied it was some epic loot.
“I’ll take it.”
With a wave of his hand, the treasure chest and the wolf disappeared completely, stored inside his inventory. Usually, Players had to physically touch something to store it, but the Heavenly Demon had figured out that by extending the Ki Aura into the physical object, the same result could be achieved.
“H-He fucking soloed the Raid Boss.” Chris glanced in the sky; he was obviously filming. “Did you see that, guys?! Vlad’s amazing, isn’t he?!”
“SHYAAAAH!”
However, before Chris could go down, a gigantic creature surged from above him, over twenty meters in height and flying.
It had only been wandering on foot, but when it suddenly took flight, its giant wings spreading flames and red crystals around, Chris' eyes widened.
It was the Vampiric Bat Queen.
[The First Raid Boss {Giant Blazing Vampiric Bat Queen (Tier 5)} has decided to spread flames and destruction around the surroundings.]
[The Power of {The Unending Crimson} enhances the Boss’ Strength.]
[This Mutation has become unstable due to the enormous amount of power within it, and its Tier has increased to Tier 5 as a result.]
[The beast shall guard the Dungeon Gates with its life on the line. Raid Bosses have increased Stats and Vitality, making them very hard to kill.]
[It is recommended to face them with many Players at once.]
“Fuck…”
Chris didn’t need to read all of that before he dove into the ground. The wings of the bat unleashed a bombardment—a rain of meteors made of crimson crystals and flames.
If that were to reach the city, a good chunk of it would immediately be destroyed and set ablaze!
“PAAAUL! Do something!”
Chris rushed down, the meteors almost about to burn his wings again.
“Ah!”
Paul quickly jumped into the skies, grabbing Chris with a hand made out of his own Aura and putting him behind him before he expanded his Aura and created a Domain within hundreds of meters around him.
{Blood Dragon Arts}: {Asura’s Domain}!
A Domain was the extension of an Aura, which would then turn almost completely physical. It could expand around the user for many meters, hundreds, and sometimes even kilometers.
When summoned, it would unleash the essence, aura, and elemental powers of the user, and with any input, the user could perfectly shape it into anything they wanted.
As long as their Aura’s Element and Powers went along with it.
As for the Heavenly Demon, it was his famous Domain, a Domain that unleashed a hundred Asura, red-skinned, multi-armed, and multi-headed war demons.
The gigantic demons, each one ten meters tall, surged, were translucent, and were made out of their own aura. They swung their giant swords and axes against the meteors, destroying them and blowing them up into tiny pieces before they could deal any damage to the city below.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The spectacle was so shocking that many of the people running away couldn’t help but look into the sky. Some of them recognized that a vampire was doing this, which made sense to them. Vampires were the strongest beings in this country; they were, after all, members of the imperial family.
“He’s doing it, guys! Holy shit! He’s so OP!”
Chris kept talking to the video as Paul gritted his teeth, having a hard time blocking all the attacks at once! He was out of Arcana, and that wasn’t going to be healed by his buff, which only had roughly five minutes left.
“Chris, run away! I can’t… Ugh, even with this buff, I can’t cover such a wide area!”
“Eh?!”
Chris noticed that the blazing crystal meteors were also falling from the other areas Vlad could not cover. Some of them are already blowing up houses and streets. People screamed as they ran away, but many were burned; some were buried below the burning rubble.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“F-Fuck, it’s not enough?!”
“Like hell, it’s enough; that thing can fly; it will spread everywhere! Uagh!”
Vlad was being pushed down constantly; the bat ended up being much scarier than the dog.
Yet suddenly, a pair of Vampires appeared in the sky.
Paul and Chris noticed them instantly; their Auras were very strong.
One of them exuded an immense amount of artificial Arcana similar to Vlad; the other was just a genuinely powerful Vampire, with a tremendous Blood Power Aura.
“Now, Camilla, don’t let the projectiles get down!”
“Okay, mama!”
Vlad instantly noticed who these people were.
“Camilla? And... is that Vlad’s mother?!”
The girl pushed an invisible force into the sky, using her large amount of Arcana, and by spending it almost completely, all the meteors falling within her range of over five hundred meters were pushed back to the giant bat.
At the same time, her mother flew several hundred meters away and unleashed her Aura, conjuring a powerful wave of freezing crimson winds that quickly froze her own Blood Energy into giant spears of frozen blood, piercing the meteors one after another, freezing them, and shattering them into pieces.
At the same time, Camilla pushed the meteors towards the bat, which was unable to evade in time and was hit several times by its own attacks!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The beast gave a loud groan of agonizing pain. As strong as these monsters could be, they were actually not immune to their own flames. With one of its wings destroyed, it lost the ability to fly and began falling down. Its giant, blazing body could easily cause a disaster if it landed over the city.
Camilla and Teressa were too far away from the beast, but they tried to stop its fall. Camilla combined all her remaining Arcana into a giant, invisible hand made of Telekinesis, and her mother created one made of frozen blood.
BAAAM!
The bat barely managed to be stopped; although it wasn’t dead, it was still alive. The beast unleashed explosions of flames from its jaws, beams that quickly melted the frozen hand and destabilized the telekinesis construct from Camilla.
“ROOAAR!”
“I can’t hold it for much longer, mama!”
“J-Just a bit more, mama is—ugh!”
Teressa was trying to create a huge spear of frozen blood to pierce the monster’s head, but the pressure of having to keep the giant frozen hand was enormous already.
Yet there was a third participant in all of this.
“I’ll take it from here.”
Vlad jumped into the skies, his aura erupting with gold and crimson light.
Camilla and Teressa’s eyes widened as they saw him appear.
“Big brother!”
“V-Vlad?! Is that you?!”
He didn’t answer, his fists pointing towards the bat as his Ki shaped itself into a giant drill and his body began spinning in midair.
{Blood Dragon Arts}: {Vampire Dragon’s Tail}!
CRASH!
With a single blow, the bat’s skull was pierced by his entire body before blowing up into pieces.
BOOOM!
