"Yes, and we should be ready to face a powerful monster," Mercedes said.
Blade nodded, but as they moved toward the third building, a series of urgent notifications appeared before him.
[ The master of the 13th city, Vampire Earl Elfin Stone, has appeared. ]
[ A strong evil influence is corrupting your magic power. All spells and skills are temporarily unavailable. ]
[ A vampire's gaze can subdue lower beings. Your body is subjected to immense oppression. ]
Elfin Stone narrowed his eyes at them, his aura suffocating.
"A human? What are you doing in my city?" he asked coldly. But as his gaze shifted behind them, his expression darkened. Two buildings lay in ruins, his subordinates reduced to nothing.
"You dare to kill my subordinates?!" Elfin Stone roared, his fury igniting the air around him.
Without hesitation, he activated his Extreme Blood Transfusion—a devastating skill that allows him to sacrifice one enemy at a time, absorbing the damage dealt to them as his own healing.
And precisely, he aimed at Mercedes, the strongest presence he perceived.
But before Elfin Stone could fully activate his skill, Blade reacted instantly.
"Magic Missile!"
A surge of pure magic energy shot forward, striking Elfin Stone directly.
"ACKKKK!" The vampire earl let out a pained scream as his skill was abruptly cut off.
[ You have interrupted your opponent's skill! ]
[ You have dealt 2,907,900 damage to the target! ]
Elfin Stone was different from other vampires—a direct descendant of the Progenitor herself, making him an exceptionally powerful being.
But just now, he had been interrupted mid-attack—a humiliation he had never suffered before. His pride burned with rage.
Worse yet, Extreme Blood Transfusion could only be used once every 24 hours, meaning he could no longer rely on it.
His eyes glowed with fury as he realized he was at a disadvantage.
"Blood Field!"
Elfin Stone used his next best skill, causing some devastating effects..
[Vampire Earl, Elfin Stone has opened up his real power. All of Elfin Stone's stats will rise and his recovery ability will increase by 300%.]
[Your blood is influenced by Blood Field.]
[153 health will be transferred to Earl Elfin Stone per second.]
[All healing effects will be reduced by 80%.]

"What will happen?"
Three men were sitting side by side in a spacious living room that was like a playground. What was the identity of those enjoying the cool soju and spicy chicken feet while wearing 3D glasses?
They were Chairman Lim Cheolho, Director Yoon Sangmin, and Team Leader Ashley Tosun. They were major figures in the company. The reason why these busy people gathered in Lim Cheolho's mansion wasn't for a simple drinking party.
On the big screen, Blade's party would soon encounter Elfin Stone. Could they really succeed in the Elfin Stone raid? The three people wanted to check it out. There was a debate.
"In order to raid Elfin Stone, at least three third advancement healers are needed in the party."
The top priority was to neutralize Elfin Stone's Blood Field. But Elfin Stone took only 1.8 seconds to deploy Blood Field. It was difficult to block it from being activated, so it needed to be offset with continuous healing. A Two person party with no healers wouldn't be able to raid Elfin Stone.
The father of vampires, Team Leader Ashley, was confident.
"I don't know what would've happened if there were more members, but the possibility of Blade's current party successfully raiding Elfin Stone is zero."
" we can't say that for sure " Lim Cheolho however said.
" Blade, he just don't have great classes but he is also Strong, he has skills to even make a normal class Shine, not to mention he still has the Skill Super Sensitivity, if he use it at right time, he can win easily"
"Not to mention, he also has Mercedes—the NPC capable of making even the Gods tremble with her eyes," someone murmured.
"But her eyes won't work here. The Blood Field makes Elfin Stone twice as strong," Ahkey said.
Lim checked the screen and muttered, "Yes, what is Blade Second class?"
Ashley nodded. "Yes, the strongest healer—he's has that class. I think they can win, but they only have a 50% chance unless they resist the Blood Field."
Ashley double-checked the data as they all turned toward Blade, who stood smirking while the Blood Field debuff flashed on the screen.
"We will see." Lim Cheolho said as others nodded too.

"I will eat all of you," Elfin Stone growled, rising to his feet. His crimson eyes darkened, tinged with an eerie black glow.
His aura of intimidation was overwhelming—at least, for normal players.
But who was Blade?
A Legendary-class warrior, completely immune to debuffs.
And beside him stood Mercedes, the First Knight, a warrior who had faced Emperors countless times.
Compared to them, Elfin Stone's aura was nothing.
"Die, Blood Tornado!" Elfin Stone roared as a crimson storm erupted from his hands.
Blade quickly jumped back to evade it, while Mercedes swiftly unsheathed her sword and sliced through the raging blood vortex, cutting it clean in half.
"What the—?!" Elfin Stone stumbled back in shock.
"Mercedes, you fight. I won't interfere," Blade said, knowing this was a battle only she could win.
He immediately activated Enchant (Enhanced) along with Holy Blessing on Mercedes.
[ Mercedes' stats have increased by 1.5x for one minute. ]
[ All of Mercedes' sword attacks now carry Holy damage. ]
Blade poured all his Divine Power into this buff, using it at full capacity. This left him in a weakened state with a cooldown of 60 minutes before he could use it again.
Mercedes' aura flared, radiating divine energy as she charged at Elfin Stone.
Her Holy-infused sword slashed towards him.
Elfin Stone's face twisted in panic as he instinctively leaped back, but the Holy energy nullified his vampiric defenses.
"Holy purification... why is this even possible?!" he hissed in disbelief as Blade's divine power resonated through Mercedes' attacks.
Although Mercedes wasn't immune to fear, the Holy Blessing counteracted the effects of the Blood Field, ensuring she remained unaffected by Elfin Stone's oppressive aura.
Blade smirked.
This battle was already decided.
