Boom!

Just as the Noble Vampire Kazamir cursed Emperor Varan to die, a body came crashing into their battlefield like a cannonball, creating a small crater. Shortly after, a person crawled out.

Emperor Varan's gaze zoomed in on the pale-skinned person with a heavy heart; it was another vampire—one with a stronger aura than Noble Vampire Kazamir.

Meanwhile, Kazamir's rage slightly cooled down by the sudden interruption. He quickly recognized the crashlanded vampire and became surprised.

It was Lord Grimbald, the Noble Vampire holding the fifty-eighth rank in the Night Parade. He was a Late-stage Demigod. Even if his strength was suppressed to Mid-stage Demigod, no one in the Great Ratholos Empire should be his opponent.

"Lord Grimbald, who sent you crashing here? Did you underestimate your foe?" Kazamir asked with surprise, respect, annoyance, and even glee.

He was glad he wasn't the only vampire to be humiliated by inferior beings.

However, Lord Grimbald did not respond to Kazamir. His expression was distorted with fear before he turned tail and fled. Kazamir and Emperor Varan were both startled by such a sight.

Who could reduce such a noble and dignified vampire to such a pathetic and fearful state? – They both wondered.

Nevertheless, their question was shortly answered.

Lord Grimbald did not make it far before a ghostly human appeared directly in front of him and grabbed at his head with his deathly hand.

"N-Nooo!" Lord Grimbald cried with his eyes filled with dread and desperation.

Lord Grimbald wanted to halt his steps and flee in a different direction, but Vaan's hand moved faster than he could react, latching straight onto his face.

A wisp of nothingness drilled into Lord Grimbald's head and scattered his soul, damning him to eternal death.

Shortly after Lord Grimbald died, Vaan casually pocketed his corpse, counted his kills, and then glanced back at Emperor Varan.

"Do you need a hand?" Vaan asked considerately, thinking Emperor Varan was struggling and could use the help.

However, Emperor Varan almost staggered with fright.

"Yes… N-No! Definitely a no! I'm alright, Senior!" Emperor Varan replied timidly, completely mistaking Vaan's intention as he recalled how his hand took the vampire's life with a simple touch.

He had never seen such a frightening and bizarre scene.

Were these immortal-like vampires so easy to kill? Who was he? Where did he come from? Did the vampires accidentally summon a death god due to their killing spree?

Countless questions ran through Emperor Varan's mind, but no one was there to answer them.

Vaan departed the moment he received Emperor Varan's answer.

It was disrespectful to interrupt another person's duel. He didn't care enough about Emperor Varan's life or death to intervene anyway. In fact, Emperor Varan's death was even more beneficial to him—or, at the very least, it would be after they overcome Abaddon's crisis.

Vaan disappeared through the void to catch his next runaway vampire.

After the bats went crazy and attacked the high-ranking vampire group, the vampires all scattered and ran as they gave up fighting him; they figured it wasn't possible to defeat him, so they chose to treasure their lives.

When faced with an impossible situation that would result in death, it was almost instinctive for all life to seek other means of survival. It seemed the vampires were no exception to this; they were also living beings.

Nevertheless, to choose life over honor, it seemed he had hit the vampires hard.

…

While hunting the fleeing vampires, Vaan also kept track of the young dragon elites' battles throughout the imperial capital with his Fourth Dimensional Sense.

After his Omni-Sense upgraded to Fourth Dimensional Sense, his detection range had increased tenfold and practically covered the entire megacity. As such, he was aware of everything happening within.

With a single thought, he would appear to the dragons' rescue if they needed it.

However, the young dragon elites' did not disappoint his expectations. They were proving to be worthy of geniuses from their clan.

Even though they were facing far stronger opponents, they were holding their ground and had yet to lose. That said, that time was drawing infinitely close as their mana depleted and their fatigue accumulated.

'It seems Fraegar will be the first to lose,' Vaan noticed.

In that instant, he immediately halted his hunt. He leaped through space, appearing in the vicinity of Fraegar's battle with the seventy-third-rank Noble Vampire, Velorina.

Ding!

[Target's information]

Name: Velorina Avici

Race: Vampire

Class: Middle Noble

Age: over 3300 Gehennan Years

Position: Seventy-third rank in the Blood Ancestor's Night Parade

Existence Level: Middle-stage Demigod (Suppressed to Early-

stage Demigod)

Abilities: [Blood Control] [Shadow Manipulation] [Regeneration] [Blood Puppet] [Charm] [Regrowth] [Blood Rejuvenation] [Shadow Step] [Assimilation]

Vaan briefly checked Velorina's information, and he had to admit she had some impressive abilities.

In particular, [Assimilation] possessed the most promising potential. It was an ability that allowed Velorina to assimilate the body parts of other living beings to inherit their traits.

Such an ability could have taken Velorina very far in the physical aspect.

Unfortunately, seeing how Velorina retained the standard appearance of a beautiful female vampire, it was clear that she did not utilize her gift well.

She could have been a much more powerful vampire, but her vampire aesthetics held her back.

She chose beauty over power.

…

[Target's information]

Name: Fraegar

Race: Red Dragon

Class: N/A

Age: 298 Pangean Years

Position: Rank 47 of the top 50 geniuses within the Red Dragon Clan's fourth-generation

Existence Level: Early-stage Transcendent

Abilities: [Draconic Might] [Magic Mastery] [Physical Enhancement] [Dragon Tongue] [Rune Understanding] [Forbidden Spell]

Indeed, it was clear that Fraegar was at a severe disadvantage after looking at her information. She was much younger than Velorina, and her strength was far beneath hers.

However, Fraegar held her ground against Velorina for over an hour.

Even though the other party didn't go all-out against Fraegar from the start, holding on for so long against an opponent an entire rank above her was already an impressive feat in and of itself.

Nevertheless, what surprised Vaan was Fraegar's age; she was younger than the Red Dragon Clan's history in Pangea.

In other words, she was a purebred Pangean Dragon, a native of the current chaosverse. Her talents would be different from those of the older generations of her clan, just like the Fire Dragon God hoped for its future descendants.

Vaan was curious how far she could grow and how she would differ from Chaos-born Red Dragons.
