96: Chapter 96 Legendary Dracula! His perpetual motion machine strategy stunned him.
Those two points of eerie green light drew closer and closer.
They slowly drifted out from the darkness.
It was a pair of eyes.
Green, slit-pupiled eyes, like those of a snake.
The owner of the eyes was a... person?
No, not a human.
It was a man wearing a black formal suit.
He was about 1.9 meters tall, slender, with a face as pale as paper.
His black hair was meticulously combed back, revealing a smooth forehead.
He had a high bridge on his nose and thin, red lips, as if he had just sucked blood.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly upward into an eerie smile.
He wore an ancient black tailcoat, a white shirt, a black bowtie, and polished leather shoes.
He held a black cane topped with a blood-red gemstone.
He just stood there in the darkness, floating half a meter off the ground.
A faint blood-red light emanated from his body.
Those green eyes stared at Lin Feng, as if looking at an interesting prey.
[Dracula, the Scarlet Earl (legendary grade)]
[Rank: 45]
[health points: 15,000,000]
[attack power: 18,000-22,000 (Blood Attribute + Dark Attribute)]
[Defense: 18,000]
[Skills: Blood Pact, Nightfall, Blood Feast, Bat Incarnation, ???, ???, ???]
[Description: The legendary Progenitor of Vampires, possessing an immortal body and terrifying recovery abilities, he is the king of the dark world. For some reason, he appeared in this Dungeon, suspected to be the source of the mutation.]
Fifteen million HP!
Twenty-two thousand attack!
Eighteen thousand Defense!
Lin Feng's pupils contracted as he looked at those stats.
This is a fucking legendary grade monster!
Stronger than any monster encountered before!
And this guy... is called Dracula?
The legendary Progenitor of Vampires?
How did he end up in this Dungeon?!
"Gah gah gah gah—!"
Dracula let out that eerie, piercing laughter.
Floating in mid-air, he looked down at Lin Feng.
"Little fellow, you're quite the fighter."
"That little bat, this old man raised it for hundreds of years, yet you killed it with just a few sword strikes."
His voice was raspy yet elegant, carrying a certain ancient aristocratic tone.
"But... that's fine too."
"It was too noisy, squeaking all day long, quite annoying."
"Since you helped this old man deal with it, I should thank you."
Lin Feng gripped the dragon slaying sword tightly, staring at him warily.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Dracula raised an eyebrow.
"Who am I? Didn't you hear the introduction just now?"
"I am Dracula, the Scarlet Earl, the Progenitor of Vampires."
"As for why I'm here..."
He looked around and shrugged.
"I don't know either."
"I woke up and was in this godforsaken place."
"It smells of rot everywhere, it's very annoying."
Lin Feng frowned.
He doesn't know?
Is this guy playing dumb or does he really not know?
"Alright, little fellow, don't think too much."
Dracula lowered his head, those green eyes staring at Lin Feng.
"I am very bored right now."
"Since you could kill that little bat, it shows you have some skill."
"Come, play with me for a bit."
He raised his hand, and blood-red light condensed in his palm.
Lin Feng didn't say a word and attacked immediately!
"Judgment of Light!"
A golden greatsword condensed above his head and slashed down fiercely at Dracula!
Dracula neither dodged nor evaded, letting the greatsword strike his body!
Boom!!!
Golden light exploded!
Dracula was knocked back half a step, leaving a charred mark on his formal suit.
[Damage Dealt: 8,700 × 15 = 130,500, Actual Damage: 130,500 - 18,000 = 112,500]
Out of fifteen million HP, he lost one hundred and twelve thousand.
It was negligible.
Dracula looked down at the scorch mark on his body, the smile on his face deepening.
"Light element... interesting."
"But, is this all the power you have?"
He raised his hand, and the blood-red light surged!
It turned into a pillar of blood-red light and shot towards Lin Feng!
Skill: Blood Feast!
The pillar of light was incredibly fast, arriving in front of him in an instant!
Lin Feng didn't have time to dodge and could only tank it!
"Holy Light Protection!"
A golden light shield enveloped his entire body!
Boom!!!
The blood-red pillar of light slammed into the shield!
[Holy Light Protection absorbed: 1,740 × 20 = 34,800 → Shattered!]
The shield shattered in a second!
The blood-red pillar of light hit Lin Feng with undiminished momentum!
[health points: 2,015,000/2,030,000]
"Hiss—"
Lin Feng gasped.
A casual strike took out fifteen thousand of his HP!
If he were to use his full strength...
Dracula looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Eh? Not dead?"
"Your health is quite high."
He licked his lips.
"Let this old man have a taste..."
Just as he finished speaking, his figure vanished!
The next second, he appeared behind Lin Feng!
His fingers formed a claw, reaching for Lin Feng's heart from behind!
"Void Walk!"
Lin Feng instantly vanished into the Void Realm!
Dracula's claw missed, and he was momentarily stunned.
"A space skill?"
He looked around, his green eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Interesting! So interesting!"
Lin Feng emerged from the Void Realm and put some distance between them.
He knew he couldn't just take hits passively.
He had to take the initiative!
"Incarnation of Light!"
Buzz—
Dazzling golden light erupted from his entire body!
His body became transparent, like a mass of pure light!
[Incarnation of Light: Immune to all physical attacks, movement speed +500%, all Light Spells are instant cast, duration 30 seconds]
Lin Feng turned into a golden stream of light, darting frantically through the castle!
Dracula's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Incarnation of Light? You little fellow have quite a few treasures!"
He raised his hand, and blood-red light condensed into a barrier around him!
Skill: Blood Pact!
The barrier emitted an eerie aura!
Lin Feng disregarded everything and charged forward with a sword strike!
The dragon slaying sword struck the blood-red barrier!
Clang!!!
The sound of metal clashing rang out!
The barrier trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its surface!
But it didn't break!
Dracula smiled.
"Little fellow, did you think I was like that little bat?"
He raised his hand, and blood-red light shot out from the barrier!
It transformed into countless blood-red tentacles, reaching out to Entangle Lin Feng!
Lin Feng, as a stream of light, dodged frantically!
Those tentacles seemed alive, pursuing him relentlessly!
Wherever they passed, the air itself corroded!
"Thors Hammer!"
Purple lightning fell from the sky, striking those tentacles fiercely!
Sizzle sizzle—
The tentacles were charred by the electricity, and their speed slowed down!
"Firestorm!"
Crimson flames swept out!
The tentacles writhed frantically in the flames, emitting a sizzling burnt smell!
"Ice Seal Domain!"
Ice-blue light spread out!
The tentacles were frozen into ice sculptures and then shattered!
Dracula watched this scene, surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Light, Thunder, Fire, Ice... how many more elements do you know?"
Lin Feng didn't answer.
He turned into a stream of light and rushed in front of Dracula!
He slashed down with the dragon slaying sword!
The golden patterns on the sword glowed intensely!
"Sword Intent!"
[Sword Intent: All attacks for the next 30 seconds become Sword Intent attacks, ignoring 50% of the target's Defense]
Dracula's expression changed slightly!
He felt the threat of this strike!
"Nightfall!"
He let out a low shout!
Instantly, the entire castle was plunged into absolute darkness!
It was so dark one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face!
Lin Feng's sword struck empty air!
[Nightfall: Creates an absolute Darkness Domain for 10 seconds, during which your dodge rate is +100%]
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng grit his teeth.
He closed his eyes and used the Eye of the Elements to perceive!
But in this absolute darkness, even the elements couldn't be sensed!
Ten seconds.
To him, it felt like ten centuries.
After ten seconds, the darkness dissipated.
Dracula stood ten meters away, looking at him with a smile.
"Little fellow, I quite admire your skills."
"How about... becoming my blood slave?"
"I guarantee you'll live forever."
Lin Feng looked at him coldly.
"In your dreams!"
He turned into a stream of light once again and charged!
The dragon slaying sword swung, Sword Qi crisscrossing!
Dracula, unhurried, used the Blood Pact barrier to defend!
The two engaged in a fierce chase within the castle!
Lin Feng was fast and attacked fiercely, but he couldn't break through Dracula's Defense.
Dracula had high Defense and recovered quickly, but he couldn't keep up with Lin Feng's speed.
Both sides were at a stalemate.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Lin Feng's Incarnation of Light had long since ended.
But he still had the Source of Life!
Recovering 2% of health points per second!
He recovered health while fighting!
His HP always stayed above 95%!
Dracula also noticed something was wrong.
He had clearly hit Lin Feng several times, taking out tens of thousands of HP each time.
But Lin Feng's health bar just wouldn't go down!
It was always full!
"This... what's going on?!"
For the first time, he showed a look of surprise.
Lin Feng sneered.
"What? Never seen a perpetual motion machine?"
He raised his hand and fired another eight-colored greatsword!
Boom!!!
Dracula was blasted back a few steps!
His HP dropped by five hundred thousand!
But he quickly used Blood Feast to recover!
It returned to over fourteen million!
Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry either.
He just kept wearing him down.
You do your attacking, and I'll do my recovering.
Let's see who gives in first!
Fifteen minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Half an hour.
Dracula's HP constantly hovered between thirteen and fourteen million.
Lin Feng's HP was always full.
Dracula finally realized something was wrong.
He stopped and stared at Lin Feng.
For the first time, a look of solemnity appeared in those green eyes.
"Little fellow, what exactly are you?"
Lin Feng smiled.
"Take a guess."
Dracula fell silent.
Then, he suddenly laughed.
There was a hint of madness in his smile.
"Interesting... so interesting!"
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered a monster like you!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
He said "good" three times, and the blood-red light on his body began to surge frantically!
The light grew thicker and brighter!
The entire castle was dyed blood-red!
Lin Feng's expression changed.
"He's going to use an ultimate move!"
He gripped the dragon slaying sword tightly, preparing to interrupt it!
But Dracula's speed was too fast!
He spread his arms and let out a long howl towards the sky!
"Blood Feast: Finale - Surging Sea of Blood!"
Boom!!!
With him at the center, a boundless wave of blood-red surged outward!
Wherever that blood-red color passed, everything dissolved!
Walls, floors, ceilings, those oil paintings...
All turned into bloody water!
Lin Feng couldn't dodge in time and was swallowed by the blood-red wave!
[Damage taken: 50,000... 50,000... 50,000...]
Fifty thousand per second!
His health points dropped frantically!
2.03 million... 1.98 million... 1.93 million... 1.88 million...
But the Source of Life was also recovering frantically!
40,000 per second (2%)!
Offsetting each other, he lost a net ten thousand HP per second!
He could last for two hundred seconds!
But how long could Dracula's ultimate move last?
Lin Feng grit his teeth, struggling in the sea of blood!
He looked toward Dracula.
Dracula floated in the center of the sea of blood, the blood-red light around him surging!
His aura became increasingly terrifying!
[Dracula enters Berserk state]
[All stats +50%, duration 60 seconds]
[Current attack power: 33,000]
[Current Defense: 27,000]
Lin Feng's pupils contracted.
Three times!
This guy is going all out!
"Little fellow, to die under my ultimate move is your honor!"
Dracula's voice echoed in the sea of blood.
He raised his hand, and the sea of blood began to rotate!
Forming a massive whirlpool!
Terrifying suction erupted from the center of the whirlpool!
Lin Feng was pulled toward the whirlpool against his will!
"Not good!"
He struggled frantically!
But the suction was too strong!
Bit by bit, he slid toward death!
At this critical moment—
"Squeak!!!"
A sharp cry!
Xiao Jin jumped down from his shoulder!
It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of pale golden mist!
The mist instantly spread, forming a golden light shield!
Enveloping Lin Feng within it!
[Void Holy Beetle Skill: Guardian Shield]
[Effect: Generates a shield that absorbs 500,000 damage for 10 seconds]
The erosion of the sea of blood was blocked by the shield!
Lin Feng took the chance to break free from the suction and teleported a hundred meters away!
He panted heavily and looked at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin landed on the ground, its body trembling slightly.
Its small compound eyes were full of exhaustion.
"Xiao Jin!"
Lin Feng cried out in distress.
Xiao Jin looked back at him and let out a "squeak."
The sound seemed to say—I'm fine.
Then, it collapsed weakly onto the ground.
Lin Feng's eyes turned red.
He looked at Dracula.
His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"You... deserve to die."
He gripped the dragon slaying sword tightly, the light on his body beginning to surge frantically.
Dracula looked at him, a hint of... fear flashing in his eyes?
"You... what are you going to do?!"
Lin Feng didn't answer.
He simply raised his sword.
The golden patterns on the sword glowed to the extreme.
A faint phantom of a Flood Dragon swam within the sword.
[Sword Spirit Possession — Activated!]
Buzz—
A golden light shot out from the sword and poured into Lin Feng's body!
Lin Feng's aura surged instantly!
All stats +100%!
[Current Stats]
[spirit: 3,480]
[Spell Attack: 17,400]
[health points: 4,060,000/4,060,000]
[mana: 3,460,000/3,460,000]
[attack power: 17,400 + dragon slaying sword 5,000 = 22,400]
Dracula looked at Lin Feng, and for the first time, an expression of... fear appeared on his face.
"This... what is this?!"
Lin Feng looked at him, a cold sneer curling on his lips.
"The sword... that will send you on your way."
