Chapter 5

Cyrus blinked and he appeared in a dark field. He looked around and noticed a ruined reddish manor and a few smaller destroyed buildings scattered around. He had nothing better to do than explore the ruins, so he ran toward the nearest building. He took a second to realize that he could move incredibly fast. His sprint was reaching 35 MPH (56 KPH) already. As he neared a small section of ruins, he noticed some bats flying around. A red manor, the name “Drakmaria”, bats…. Cyrus was ready to fight some vampires. He shot toward a nearby bat with his sword already swinging. It hadn’t noticed him, and the sword cut through it. But now the other bats noticed.

Life always ends in death

He killed the bats surrounding the smaller ruins before he went to a large destroyed building next to the main manor. Inside, he noticed a humanoid figure; perhaps a real vampire. Cyrus readied his shield and entered. A cloaked figure was leaning against a wall with their arms crossed. The figure spoke smoothly,

“Hello adventurer, have you come for a fight?”

Cyrus steeled himself and began to approach, “Perhaps I have, are you ready for one?”

Before the creature could respond he swung his mana infused sword. The creature swiftly dodged and a magic circle of some kind quickly formed next to it. Cyrus used his new ability to infuse his shield with resistance and charged. After a few deflected spells and dodges from the enemy, Cyrus realized the stalemate he found himself in. He quickly formulated a plan. He continued to attack, slowing down every attack. As the creature got used to his slower attacks, he quickly infused his shows with mana and blasted toward the vampire. The surprised vampire attempted to jump out of the way but was unsuccessful in his dodge. The sword cut cleanly through its torso. It was dead.

Young Vampire (LV 35)

The fight had granted an extra level of blood resistance, clearly, that was the magic it had been using. Similarly, many of the other smaller buildings contained young vampires. After killing 7 of them, he stopped for a quick break and checked what he got.

Just one more level up before he got a new perk, if the pattern continues. It was time for him to enter the main building. The lowest floor consisted of both vampire bats and young vampires, which he took care of quickly, but when he went up the stairs, an older-looking vampire stood in front of a large set of gothic doors. He spoke calmly and crisply, “Unfortunately you must die here, as the butler of Count Drakmar, I simply cannot let you pass.” Cyrus realized that this man was leagues above his previous enemies. He responded to the butler, “Well, unfortunately for you and your master, I must kill you both, but good luck to you I suppose.” With his piece said, he lunged toward the butler with his sword at the ready. His Edge of Pride pulsing red, he slashed at the well-dressed vampire. The butler smirked and quickly dodged, but unlike the other vampires, the butler viciously counter-attacked with a rapier. Cyrus blocked the black rapier with his shield and pushed the man back with a Resistor’s Block. His shield made the vampire frown and before he could think, the Edge of Pride was on him once again. This dance continued for a bit before the butler became frustrated and began to attack with wild abandon. The attacks were difficult for Cyrus to repel, but for everyone he did, his own sword made contact. But he was not perfect, and he received just as many strikes as he gave. The magic-infused rapier slowly drained his life, but with his resistance plus his natural health regen, he was still regaining more health than he lost. In this kind of battle, he couldn’t lose. Slowly Cyrus gained the advantage as the damage piled up on the butler, with minimal lasting damage occurring in Cyrus. The crazed butler was charging up, and so did Cyrus. He put all his learning and magic into this attack, while the butler did the same. Cyrus leaped with a Resistor’s block and a deadly sword swing, while the butler attacked with a crimson and black slash. His shield blocked most of the slash, yet some hit him unobstructed, while his own swing obliterated the butler before him. Oh shit. His health was tanking, his regen being outpaced. The initial damage was significant, but some sort of secondary effect was ruining him. Luckily, it stopped pretty quickly and he began to regenerate. He had won and received a lot of notifications.
