Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 73 - F-Rank Hunters? Just Some Easy Meals.



-----

Noah and his party had now decided to go explore an E-Rank Dungeon and most probably reach D-Rank tonight or tomorrow morning!

Such a bold decision was something that they could only expect of someone such as Noah, their progenitor, a prideful vampire man.

However, to even fathom to reach D-Rank in just one or two days after reaching E-Rank was simply insane.

Such a concept did not even exist in the outside world, no one else than Noah and his group was progressing at such an insane pace.

This was due to their amazing resiliency, endless stamina, and the ability to regenerate mana by consuming blood, which they could constantly extract from the monsters they fought against.

This way, they could even spend entire days inside dungeons, until they were to clean everything and get tons of resources!

Just like this, Noah's group had been advancing by leaps and bounds and were close to reaching D-Rank already, and Noah did not want to stop there, but go even further, C-Rank, and B-Rank!

If possible… he wanted to reach such Ranks this month!

To the rest of the world, he would sound like a complete madman, and they would believe he will simply die out in a dungeon and then be done with it.

However, Noah's subordinates knew that when Noah decided something, he was going to do it no matter what!

If he were to reach D-Rank, he might even become stronger than Fernand, the one he wanted to slaughter, which would make everything way easier!

However, things were not as smooth yet, he needed to work very hard, and undergo many trials before he could reach his goals.

And now, the party of Vampires had decided what to do.

"Well, there are several E-Rank Dungeons in the city we can explore… There is the Howling Sirens Dungeon where large bird-like monsters attack with loud cries… there is also the Accursed Water Temple where water-type monsters roam, or the Underground Labyrinth, which is a set of intricate underground labyrinths where moles and earthworm monsters emerge…" said Arthur.

"Which one has the highest concentration of monsters?" asked Noah.

"Hm… The most dangerous one and the one with the most concentration of monsters is… the Accursed Water Temple, it has a variety of monsters from several types. The main Boss is sealed so the Dungeon doesn't end, but there are several Mini-Bosses as well, and there have been reports of some kind of Hidden Boss as well, although it hasn't been defeated yet…" said Arthur.

"Why haven't they defeated it, isn't it a low-ranked dungeon?" asked Iris.

"It's because it is too dangerous for E-Rank Hunters who want to easily and slowly get to D-Rank, and D-Rank and above hunters would be wasting their time exploring such a dungeon anyway, as they can go to D-Rank ones and get more rewards," said Arthur.

"Sounds like these people are very selfish and uninterested over investigation…" said Timassa.

"Well, as a Half-Subhuman, you should already know about such things, Timassa, don't you?" asked Noah.

"Indeed… this world is quite rotten, let's go clear that Dungeon, Noah-sama," said Timassa.

"Yes, I've already decided before you even spoke, let's clear the Accursed Water Temple and beat all those Bosses… Tonight, we shall reach D-Rank!" said Noah with blazing conviction.

The party quickly prepared their things as they immediately made their way out of the manor, although Arthur wanted to present Noah to his parents, Noah had promised him to have dinner or breakfast tomorrow with them, so he had nothing to worry about.

For now, they left rather quickly, jumping over the walls of the territory, and then flying above the sky while camouflaging their identities with masks, as if they were some kind of Phantom Thieves knock-off.

Crossing through the various buildings, Noah glanced down below as the people passed by, he then moved through the alleys with his group, until he found some victims.

Of course, although Noah wanted to hunt monsters and get Cores, he also wanted to satiate himself with some better-quality blood, and also flesh for Adamantine and Timassa, so hunting weak F-Rank Hunters that wandered by was quite ideal.

"Noah-sama, there's a prey there!" said Iris, pointing at Noah a small group of people below.

It seemed to be a young man who was being assaulted by F-Rank Hunters for his Cores and money.

The F-Rank Hunters were all pretty weak, and their presences were too dim.

And they also looked like the trash Noah liked to crush.

The men were hitting the young man's stomach, as he vomited blood.

Noah could not help but feel a bit reminded of himself by seeing this man getting hit.

Although this man was not from his school, he wanted to exert some justice of his own and slaughter the bastards that were doing this to him.

After all, it did not fit his pride to hunt for those that didn't deserve to be really punished.

"Only three cores?! Is this all you got, you little shit?"

"Damn poor bastard, he never gets enough! You gotta keep grinding, put your life on the line a bit more, you slacker!"

"Yeah, don't' you want your family to live happily?"

The three disgusting-looking F-Rank hunters glanced at the young man with smug smirks, as he suddenly stopped resisting their hits and took away a bag he was hiding.

"Please… not… my family…" he muttered, barely gasping for air.

"See? He had more shit hidden!"

"Damn, five more! But this isn't even enough!"

"You little shit, you thought you could hide this from us?"

Suddenly, one of the feet from the Hunters neared the man's face, if this attack were to hit him, he would most likely fall unconscious…

However, instead of feeling the imminent pain of a strong kick on his head, he only heard the agonizing cry of the man about to knock him out.

Slash!

"GRRRYAAAAAA…!"

The young man raised his head covered in blood, noticing the man's leg being sliced off!

"W-What?"

Suddenly several figures emerged from within the shadows, all wearing masks and dark costumes!

"Hm, this is a fitting meal I suppose," said Noah, grabbing the leg of the man and extracting its blood and drinking it.

The man who had his leg sliced off glanced at Noah with complete horror, trying to run away!

"W-Who are you!? MY LEG! WHY?! HOW?!"

"Too loud…" said Noah, as a demonic beast covered in shadows emerged behind him, Adamantine, as she leaped over the man, munched his neck, and torn apart his head off, as blood flowed out like a spring!

Splash!

"A-Ah… W-What is going on?" asked the young man, without even being able to process what was happening.

The other two F-Rank Hunters were trembling in fear, the presence that Noah's group exuded was way too overwhelming as if they were… monsters!

"M-Monsters?! There are monsters in the city?!"

"No… No way! Run!"

"You're not running anywhere…" said Jon, as he touched the two men's shoulders, draining their life and mana constantly!

"UUNNGGOOOHH…!

"UNNGAAAHH…!"

The two men agonized, but tried to attack Jon with their abilities!

However, large black nails emerged from behind them, slicing their arms off in seconds, as more blood was spurred from the wounds!

Slash! Slash!

"EEH?!"

"UNGNHH…!"

"Fufu, it always feels nice to slice up some assholes," said Iris, licking her claws.

"W-We haven't done… anything to you…!"

"W-Why…? Y-You monstersssss…!"

CRUSH! CRUSH!

Noah approached the two men and crushed their skulls with two stomps of his feet, without even looking at them, as if he were crushing ants.

"We are done in here, let's move," he said, as he saved the two corpses inside the Dimensional Storage Ring while cleaning all evidence through his Blood Control.

Adamantine joined back the group, as she had eaten most of the corpse left for her, and then let Noah save the rest while she licked the blood out of her claws and mouth.

"W-Who are you? You… saved me…" said the young man, his eyes that were filled with despair glanced at Noah's party with fervent admiration, the thing he had dreamed the most was to slaughter the bastards that were abusing him, and now, such dream came true in a flash.

For most people, these beings would be seen as monsters, but for him, they were saviors.

"We are the Blood Creed…" said Noah, dropping some blood into the hurt man's mouth by using Blood Potion, slowly healing his wounds!

"T-This blood… What is… this?" asked the young man, as he glanced back at Noah to find that they were all gone.

And not even evidence was left.

It was as if everything never happened, and these men simply disappeared.

The man felt a strange feeling on his body after drinking the blood, but had no time to assess things, running away back to his home…

Meanwhile, Noah and his party finally reached the Dungeon.
