◈ 142. [STAGE 5] Alpha&Beta (2)
Vampires have two main skill trees.
strengthening the body. and blood magic.
The skill tree looks completely different, but in fact the principle is the same.
Vampires use the essence of life stolen from others as fuel.
The fuel is burned inside the body to strengthen the body. Or use magic by burning it outside the body.
It’s just the difference between turning energy into the body or turning it into magic.
The point of using life force stolen from others as a source is the same.
Therefore, vampires inevitably have a fundamental weakness.
If they cannot replenish their blood by killing enemies on the battlefield, their power, which consumes a lot, will run out sooner or later.
So, vampires try to vamp their opponents whenever possible.
This is the pattern you should be aiming for.
***
Pooh-!
Blood spattered.
A lance pierced Alpha under the chin as she tried to bite Evangeline’s neck.
The carbine pierced the jaw, pierced the tongue, and lodged in the roof of the mouth.
《Kheuk… … ?!”
Alpha let out an awkward sound.
Originally, the body would automatically turn into fog and I had to avoid it. This cavalry spear is a perm weapon covered with silver.
The evasion did not work, and Alpha, who tried to take advantage of the victory and suck blood, had his chin pierced.
Embarrassed, Alpha glared at her opponent. Evangeline was smiling leisurely round and round.
“I’m sorry, but I told seniors everything, your pattern.”
Alpha’s close-up pattern.
It shoots blood bullets and sprinkles blood mist.
Most opponents are shattered with blood bullets alone, and enemies who have withstood the blood bullets are bound by the blood that remains after the blood bullets burst.
And Alpha is to safely absorb the blood of the bound enemy.
However, Evangeline’s characteristic [Unstoppable] is completely invalid against any movement-impairing status ailments.
Bondage through blood dance didn’t work in the first place.
It was ‘pretending to be victimized’.
“Whoever wants to touch the neck of a 16-year-old flower-like youth. I’ll let you touch only the people you like.”
Evangeline smiled wickedly as she touched her white neck with her gauntleted hand.
Alpha growled with difficulty, her jaw clamped.
“How did you know my fighting method… … ?!”
“huh?”
《It’s the first time in hundreds of years that our legion has invaded Inse… … !》
bloodbath baptism. blood flow. and bloodsucking.
Even when Selendion’s Legion was in the middle of a war with the ancient kingdoms, it was a close combat method that the enemies did not know well.
But how did you know this in advance and prepare to deal with it?
“Hmm. well. Our commander is rather terrifyingly competent.”
Evangeline shrugged and evaluated Ash.
“He’s quite thoughtful and deep, takes good care of this and that, and makes a good late-night snack… … Risk your life to save your subordinates… … .”
Right after that, Evangeline continued to sweep her own neck, deep in thought.
“Hmm? Umm… … No, no. No no no.”
Taat!
In the meantime, Alpha pulled her jaw out of the spear and bit back.
“Ah, it’s gone.”
Evangeline didn’t care and fixed the spear.
《Kuh, huh… … !》
Sung’s jaw was slow to recover from being pierced by a weapon. Alpha gnashed her teeth as she took her own blood dripping from him.
“Yes, bastard… … On the humble human subject… … !》
“You guys are funny too. A lowly human being, a lowly human being, what are you talking about?”
Evangeline, ridiculed, was ready to charge again.
“Then, how lowly are you guys who live by sucking our blood?”
《Shut up, bug-like thing-!》
Pipipipipiping-!
Behind Alpha’s back, more magic circles unfolded like wings.
It wasn’t bloodshot this time.
The ice attribute and blood magic, which can be said to be the source of the Selendion army, were combined, and a bloody blizzard erupted from the magic circle.
Quaaaaaa!
A bloody blizzard poured down and devastated the top of the castle walls.
Although he said he lost his pride, Alpha is an old veteran, no, a thousand war veterans.
The level of the opponent’s ability to divide the sum can be accurately grasped.
Alpha had a clear understanding of Evangeline’s defensive abilities.
‘At this level of attack, no matter how excellent the defense skills are, they will die!’
but.
There was one thing Alpha overlooked here.
It was a ‘technology’ of mankind that has been developed over the past hundreds of years.

Tuhak-!
Through the blizzard, Evangeline soared up.
“What… … ?》
In front of Alpha’s astonished eyes.
Charleuk!
The golem gloves that were dangling from Evangeline’s thick armor all at once purged, separated and fell off.
Over the past hundreds of years, humanity has advanced as much technology as it has lost its ancient magic.
The same goes for armor making techniques.
And this golem armor is the culmination of the current generation of imperial armor production technology.
Like reactive armor attached to tanks on Earth, it absorbs enemy attacks and falls off when its durability runs out, minimizing damage.
Wearing only the skeleton armor, Evangeline laughed like a child.
“As expected, I’m more comfortable with the lighter side.”
Pipipiping!
Alpha fired blood bullets as if in a fit of fuss.
Evangeline’s emerald eyes flashed in front of the shower of blood bullets.
[Crossroad], a unique characteristic of exclusive equipment, was activated, and the optimal movement line was shown in front of her.
Taat-!
Evangeline reached Alpha’s face at once, avoiding all the blood bullets that Alpha fired as if in a fit of fuss, or spilling them with her shield.
《You bastard, you young gore-!》
“Do you live without looking in the mirror? You are the gore. And, you keep showing off your age!”
Evangeline thrust the spear forward vigorously.
“Because kids these days have one temper?!”
Pooh-!
A silver cavalry spear pierced Alpha’s chest precisely.
***
Two-Ha-Ah-!
Oliven Beta’s ax cut through Lucas’ chest with precision.
No, it seemed that way.
《… … ?》
A look of bewilderment crossed Beta’s face.
The ax had no texture. He apparently slashed his opponent accurately.
Lucas’s body was clearly there, but it had turned transparent like a ghost and avoided Beta’s attack.
[Wraithization].
It is a characteristic attached to Lucas’s armor, [Ghost Armor], which was forged with the magic core obtained after defeating the stage 1 boss, the Ghost Knight.
The effect is to become a specter that cannot be attacked or attacked for 5 seconds.
“… … I’ve practiced a lot, but this is the first time I’ve used it in real combat.”
5 seconds later. After his ghostly state was over, Lucas, who materialized again, rubbed his hand over his chest.
Since all of the equipment became a specter and escaped from physical interference, the sword stuck in Beta’s arm was also recovered.
“However, you shouldn’t rely solely on item performance.”
Lucas glared at Beta with cold, sunken eyes.
“I have to develop my own strength.”
《… … ?》
Beta looked at Lucas, who suddenly began to spit out.
“Last time I faced your king, I was helpless.”
Lucas remembered what happened on Loser’s Road.
In the surprise attack of Celendion, the main party members had to collapse without being able to respond.
“Since then, my colleagues have used their specialties to find and study ways to fight your king. But I didn’t have that.”
Kwak.
Power entered Lucas’s hand holding the sword.
“If I meet your king again, how can I protect my lord… … I didn’t.”
《Kurrure!》
There was no reason to listen to all the murmurs of the enemy. Beta didn’t listen anymore and charged forward with an axe.
“I thought and thought and thought. I stayed up all night training and contemplating what I could do and how I had to change to protect my lord.”
Not paying attention to such Beta, Lucas closed his eyes and continued talking to himself.
“After immersing myself in every way, I finally found one.”
next moment.
Lucas immediately opened his eyes.
“I… … .”
The blue eyes were burning like those of a beast.
“If you give up being human, you can.”
Chae Ae-Aeng!
Beta’s bulging eyes widened.
Beta’s ax and Lucas’s longsword interlocked in the air.
In the meantime, Lucas had only slashed Beta’s ax from the side or flung it away. It was because he was unconditionally pushed back when confronted force-to-power.
However, this time it was received from the front.
Lucas’ sword… … It meant that it had the same power as Beta’s axe.
‘A mere human? how? The same strength as me?’
In front of Beta, who freaked out, Lucas was no longer the same as before.
A gust of wind from the collision of the sword and ax tousled her blonde hair, which was always neatly organized.
His sturdy body, which always stood up straight with his back straight, was crouching on all fours as if crawling on the floor, exhaling white breath in a wolf-like posture.
“Haaa… … .”
Lucas’s blue eyes flashed dangerously like a beast through the long tousled golden hair.
A hidden attribute that is taboo for all players in the growth tree of Lucas McGregor, the SSR-grade protagonist character.
[Beast Painting].
Lucas had realized and accepted this on his own.
Cheer. Tingle… … .
Beta, overwhelmed for some reason, took a step backwards without realizing it in the face of the unknown fighting spirit she felt from the young man in front of her eyes.
Wrong.
Something is wrong with this article.
to protect valuables.
Something more precious than that, I threw away-
“Come on with all your might, vampire.”
There was no docile young man like the usual Golden Retriever.
“I wonder if I can deal with your king… … You should test it.”
Instead, there was a wolf armed with a murderous weapon that would bite and rip anything apart.
***
Alpha and Beta collapsed.
Evangeline’s lance had pierced her chest, and Lucas’ longsword had torn her to shreds.
“Whoa!”
After confirming that Alpha had collapsed, Evangeline looked at Lucas while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“This is over for now! Uncle Lucas! How about that one?”
“… … .”
“… … mister? are you okay?”
It was a bit far away, so I couldn’t see Lucas’s condition very well. Evangeline narrowed her eyes. Did she get any injuries?
Lucas stood still in front of Beta’s dismembered corpse.
The heat radiating from behind him distorted the surroundings like a haze.
Evangeline intuitively noticed that Lucas had entered “the state” of the last confrontation.
‘That seemed a bit dangerous… … .’
But now the enemy is too strong.
Even if it’s a little dangerous, if it’s the power to defeat the enemy, wouldn’t it be okay, Evangeline thought.
“Mr. God Hand! Body bag!”
When Lucas, who was supposed to be in command, was silent, Evangeline called the party members instead.
“It’s your turn! Get ready!”
God Hand and Body Bag, who were waiting in the back, immediately rushed forward.
In front of God Hand, there was a box of silver bars that had been paid before.
Click!
As God Hand opens the box,
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
Alpha and Beta each raised themselves up with grotesque screams. The gaping hole in his chest was filled up, and his entire fragmented body glued itself together.
Phase 2.
Even if the vampire general’s body is destroyed, it comes back to life with Fallen Blood.
Izzy is lost, but rather the physical specs increase.
“It’s not even a boss monster, so I don’t know what phase 2 there is… … .”
Evangeline, who clicked her tongue, looked at God Hand and Body Bag.
God Hand nodded, and Body Bag gave a thumbs up.
Looking back, I saw Damian and Junior waiting in the distance. The two of them had completed their preparations for sniping and magic.
Evangeline laughed bashfully.
“Well, if you’ve come this far, you’ve almost broken it!”
