Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

Noah knew that the path to greatness was a harsh one.

Filled with challenges that would risk his life over and over again!

Especially when to grow stronger in this world, he had to enter deadly dungeons, which connected to different worlds and planes of existence, filled with deadly beasts who possessed a million ways to tear him into pieces.

However, he had already resolved that he would not stop until reaching the top… and even then, he would keep going further, the sky was not the limit, nothing was the limit.

What emerged in front of him was one of such challenges, something that he needed to get over to finally advanced yet another little step into his path.

C-Rank…

Could it be possible in a single day?

Not.

It was impossible.

No one would ever be able to reach such a rank in just a day.

It was unthinkable.

No one, not even S-Rank Hunters had ever considered advancing so fast in their entire lives, even the most talented of them all.

Whoever thought about such a thing would be called a complete delusional, a fool.

But Noah and his group were not humans, standards and limits made by them had no power over them or their decisions and ambitions.

They have transcended humans and had become something greater.

Through such physique and power, they managed to beat through countless monsters, if any other party of D-Rank Hunters was to fight against such a party, they would all be killed and eaten.

However, through blood and sweat, they pulled through such challenges, until the Dungeon began to unleash its greatest challenge, to exterminate these invaders once and for all!

The gigantic creature emerged from the dunes, making the entire world around Noah's group tremble.

A gigantic scorpion-like tail covered in golden and metallic exoskeleton emerged out of the sand, alongside a large body resembling a lion, but covered in hard stone scales.

It had three heads, that of a furious lion, a dragon, and a goat, all of such heads were covered in rock scales, and alongside that, the gigantic behemoth had two enormous, feathered wings, which would belong to a gigantic bird or an eagle.

There was no other name for such an entity than 'Titan' or 'Behemoth'.

It is body surpassing 40 meters in height, and it even had wings big enough to be able to fly…

The eyes within its heads flashed with eerie crimson light, as it roared with all three of its mouths, glaring at Noah's party with the primal anger of a savage and beastly monster!

"GROOOOOWL!"

Its aura was unleashed, an enormous pressure took hold of the bodies of the vampiric family, their eyes glared at the creature with nothing but fear!

But of course, fear was something that not even Vampires could run away from.

After all, courage was simply the act of ignoring your own instincts that told you to run away.

To save your life!

That this was… not worth it!

But within the minds and hearts of these Vampires, there was a stronger feeling than fear!

The desire to prove this world, to prove the heavens, that they were strong!

Prove your bravery!

Fight against this materialized fear!

Prove that you are, indeed, the wielders of the bloodline of the walkers of the night, Vampires!

"S-So strong…" muttered Arthur, his air had just escaped out of his lungs and he was barely gasping for air.

Everyone else was paralyzed, even Noah himself.

Noah's eyes glanced at the creature with contempt.

This was it.

This was what he wanted, right?

Wasn't this what he seeks?

To fight strong monsters that defied everything he knew about?

To grow stronger so no one else could trample over him?

To grow strong enough to trample over anyone that defied him instead?

This enormous titan was the challenge that would lead him one step further towards his Dream.

Because even villains dream.

Oh, they are the ones that dream the most.

Noah gritted his teeth.

"Snap out of your fear, stay at my side, and don't falter!" said Noah, his entire Aura encompassed his allies, as his Soul emerged, light and darkness twisting around each other, surprising everyone!

Indeed, Noah was not normal anymore, he should not let himself be consumed by the fear!

He needed to prove himself- No, he needed to prove to the world that he had already gone past being a human, that he was finally something greater!

Feeling inspired by his simple and direct words, Noah's group nodded in affirmation, swallowing saliva as they prepared for what was to come.

And only just a few seconds had passed since the creature emerged, however, these last seconds felt like an eternity.

They were so encapsulated in pure fear that they felt as if everything was going slower.

However, as if time itself began to rewind itself to its normal speed, everything became faster!

The beast moved its wings, flying into the skies!

The field that they thought was their trump card over the monsters their previously fought was the same one that this monster felt most comfortable fighting in!

Its wings were so enormous that each time they flapped, enormous waves of winds began to engulf the party, pushing them away as if it were a storm!

"This power… even the flap of its wings… This creature is a calamity by itself! If it were to even escape to the city… everything would be destroyed… And now… we have to fight and kill this…" thought Arthur while swallowing saliva once more, as he quickly readied his Skills!

"GRRROOOOOOOOWL!"

The monster rushed towards Noah and his party at an immense speed, generating shockwaves through the air that sounded like lightning itself!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"I will go, all of you, follow my lead! I will open the way!" roared Noah, as his entire body was engulfed in blood and his soul, combining both to generate an enormous crimson armor that was both resilient and also as light as a feather!

Dozens of weapons made of poisonous blood and cursed blood emerged around him, rotating continuously!

And lastly, several Auras that were made by the combination of several of his boosting skills emerged over him, as he resembled a knight of hell itself!

His claws grew larger and monstrous, and his eyes glowed with crimson light!

Using Crimson Flash and his enormous Vampiric Wings, Noah immediately darted towards the Hidden Boss, the Giant Desert Chimera Emperor!

"Let's go!" said Iris, as she unleashed her Skills, covering her entire body with Phantom, as several Phantasmagoric Fox Tails emerged on her back, alongside long ears atop her head!

"GRRRAWL!" roared Adamantine, covering herself with a coating of eternal shadows, making her resemble a fierce and beastly shadow demoness!

"We will make it through, at all costs!" roared Timassa, coating herself with an armor of black thunder and enhancing her senses and speed!

"I am counting on all of you!" said Arthur, charging Corrosive miasma within his claws, as he began to fly at the side of Timassa!

"I will do my best…" said Jon, covering his entire body with the effect of his Life Sap and Mana Sap Skills alongside unleashing both of his Evil Eye Skills on the enemy, draining its life and mana slowly!

"Everyone, I will cover your back!" said Big Sis, as her body quickly shapeshifted into large mechanical spider-like limbs surging from her back, each one shaping itself as sharp metallic blades!

"Are we really doing this!?" asked Sakura as she flew at the side of everyone else, raising her mechanical blade and force field shield!

"We don't get any other option, Sakura! Whatever Master says, we do it!" said Sugar, as she conjures several blades made of black light around her, making them rotate around her body as she flew at max speed alongside the other Robots and the rest of Noah's party!

FLASH!

Noah charged into the frontlines of the group, while the rest flew around him in perfect coordination!

Their destination?

They were charging directly towards the front of the damn Hidden Boss!

Madness!

However, Noah was like this!

He liked to be quite… direct.

"GROWL!"

The Giant Desert Chimera Emperor released powerful storming winds through the flapping of its wings against Noah and his party!

However, Noah exerted an even greater force as he charged towards it, slicing through the wind with his slashing attacks, and reaching the Chimera's lion head!
