Tiramet snarled, launching razor-sharp blood shards from his arms—but they shattered under the overwhelming force.
The strike landed cleanly.
Tiramet was sent flying backward, blood spraying violently.
[ Target is afflicted with Heavy Bleeding ]
It was the effect of Splitting Strike, dealing massive damage over time.
"Y–you're really strong human…" Tiramet growled as he tore away his tattered robe, his stance shifting into full combat mode.
"But each time I heal I grow stronger" Tiramat said as his auar surged as Alan only smiled.
"Sapphire," Alan called calmly.
The memphis cat appeared instantly, activating Soul Ingestion on Tiramet.
[ Tiramet's soul is devoured by Sapphire ]
[ Target loses 50% of main stats for 4 seconds ]
[ Target is more likely to fall under status debuff ]
Sapphire's soul ingestion had reached Level 2, increasing the duration from three to four seconds.
[ Your stamina stat are increased by 1,457 points for 4 seconds ]
"White Lion's Roar" Alan instantly activated skill attached to White Lion Dainslief as an spectral lion formed behind him and roared, dealing 300% of his attack damage to tiramet but most importantly..
[ Tiramet have been stunned for five seconds ]
"Flame Sword"
"Golden Flash"
Alan activated skills in succession while undoing the Transformation as his magical stat was restored as the Golden flash which deal magic damage was maximized, plus Alan used it with Purifying energy.
Golden runes ignited along Dainsleif as purifying energy layered itself over the blade, radiating divine brilliance.
This was the strike that had killed Elfin Stone.
Now, with Tiramet already weakened—
The golden light descended.
A divine execution.
The blade erupted with over 1500% magic damage, far surpassing the power Alan had possessed during his fight with Elfin Stone. With Intelligence now exceeding 5000, and Purification dealing an additional 100% damage to demon-kind, the result was absolute.
Tiramet didn't even have time to scream.
Golden light consumed him entirely.
Body.Blood.Soul.
Erased.
Just like Elfin Stone.

"It's a great ability," Alan muttered as he reviewed the rewards.
His gaze shifted to the red, swirling marble-like essence floating before him.
"It's a pity I couldn't acquire this skill and Rune earlier… if I had already obtained before defeating Elfin Stone, I might have also gotten his Soul essence."
Alan shook his head and stored the item in his inventory.
Now that the City Lord was dead, Alan began clearing the entire city.
One by one, the remaining True Blood Vampires fell.
By the time the city was completely purged, seven more True Blood Vampires had been slain.
His level rose rapidly—
Level 256.
And among the final rewards, Alan obtained yet another piece of Braham's Set.
This time—
The Robes.
"Now I have the robes, ring, and gloves. Together, they reduce my casting time by a full 60%," Alan smiled.
He stepped out of the ruined city and headed straight toward the 9th Vampire City.
This was my goal all along, Alan thought.
He clearly remembered the City Lord of the Ninth City—
Latina.
A powerful necromancer, and more importantly, someone who possessed a remarkably useful skill.
A skill Alan had been looking forward to obtaining for a very long time.
Though I already obtained another useful skill from Mumud, who would ever say no to more powerful summons? Alan smiled as he stepped into the 9th Vampire City.
"Undead?" Alan muttered.
Unlike the previous cities, this one wasn't filled with blood wolves or bats. Instead, skeletons, ghouls, and rotting undead roamed the streets.
"Hm… the other cities used vampire familiars, but this one relies on undead," Alan noted.
He descended into the city and immediately began attacking, hellfire staff blazing as magic rained down. The undead were crushed effortlessly, collapsing into piles of bones and ash.
One building after another fell.
Soon, only the final structure remained.
Just as Alan stepped forward—
"Are you the one wreaking havoc in my city?"
A sweet, alluring voice echoed through the air.
Alan raised his head.
A beautiful woman stood before him, her crimson eyes glowing faintly, long hair flowing like silk as she looked down at him with amused interest.
"If you mean the human who killed everyone here," Alan said calmly, "then yes. That's me."
"Oh?" She smiled slowly. "You seem confident. Why don't you become mine~?"
A pink glow radiated from her body and rushed toward Alan.
[ Latina's Sweet Magic is charming you. ][ You have resisted. ]
"I must say, you're beautiful, Lady Vampire," Alan replied casually. "But I came here to fight. How about this—if you defeat me, I'll become yours. If not, you'll be mine."
Latina froze for a moment, genuine surprise flashing across her face.
[The vampire viscount Latina has released a sweet magic power.]
[You have become confused.]
[Your spirit can't endure it. Mana regeneration rate will decrease by 80% and magic resistance by 50%. There is a chance that skills was fail to activate.]
[Your arms and legs don't have any strength.]
[Attack power will decrease by 50% and all speeds will decrease by 30%.]
[You have resisted.]
Once again she was surprised her power was blocked by mere prey.
Then—
Giggle.
"I like your confidence," Latina said softly. "Very well. If you defeat me, I'll happily submit. But if you fail… you'll become my slave."
