SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677: A small warm-up

Soon, everyone arrived at a small clearing on the outskirts of the wilderness with a small pond nestled quietly at its center. The water was unnaturally still, so still that it looked like a polished mirror rather than a natural body of water.

The pond was ringed by smooth stones. Strange flowers with bioluminescent veins bloomed at the edges, their petals drifting open as if responding to the group’s presence. A soft mist curled along the surface of the water, weaving in lazy patterns that made it seem quite breathtaking.

"Wow... What a beautiful place... It’s so romantic... Hubby, I am loving this adventure..." Aurora hopped over and whispered in Damon’s ear.

Her tone was gentler than usual, clearly thanks to the audience of Damon’s entire family, but the mischief in her eyes never left. She had no concept of danger. Wilderness or not, she looked like she was on a fairy-tale picnic.

The others, however, were far from relaxed.

Ellora scanned the treeline with a tense, predatory focus. Kaelthorn’s ears twitched, his hand hovering near his weapon. Malia’s eyes glowed faintly with detection magic. Even Erin, usually serene, looked on edge.

Despite the clearing’s beauty, despite the tranquil pond and the soft shimmering mist... something was wrong. Something was unsettling about everything. It was as if they were being constantly watched.

"Here we go." Damon smiled. "This place is called the ’Forest of Doom’ for nothing." The next second, the pond water exploded.

A dozen jet-black tentacles, slick, wet, and covered in faint glowing runes, lashed out of the mirror-still surface with a violent splash that shattered the illusion of calm. The water erupted upward like a geyser as the tendrils cracked against the air, whipping toward the group with terrifying speed.

Everyone immediately became alert and prepared to fight. Only Aurora pouted and looked extremely annoyed with the monster. "Ugly thing, why are you ruining my day?" At the same time, she was the first to react. She set multiple spears of darkness toward the monster, quickly putting it down.

The tentacles thrashed wildly, slamming against the ground and trees hard enough to splinter bark and send shockwaves through the clearing, but Aurora’s spears pierced them effortlessly, slicing through the runic skin and severing limb after limb with brutal efficiency.

In the span of a heartbeat, the entire pond turned into a battlefield of flailing appendages. In the span of two heartbeats, it went silent.

One final spear slammed into the creature’s core beneath the waterline, and the entire monster curled in on itself before floating lifelessly on the pond surface.

The level 200 monster was quite strong, but it was nothing in front of the fallen angel. In a matter of seconds, it was easily taken care of.
