Damon’s silhouette vanished from one spot and reappeared in another with each blink, every movement followed by an eruption of crimson and a scream cut short. He became the storm within the battlefield, a nightmare stitched from shadows, blood and blood, too fast for the eye.
His daggers and his spear curved through the air like predators with a will of their own, finding throats, hearts, spines. Each kill fed him more power.
Holy champions tried to rally. They called for reinforcements, summoned guardians, even chanted invocation circles mid-battle to halt his advance. But it was like throwing feathers into a hurricane.
Damon dashed through one such circle mid-chant, kicking the high priest so hard the man’s spine folded like parchment. A second later, the holy circle shattered into light and faded.
Ding! [Your Notoriety has increased by 100 ]
Ding! [You have acquired Divine Faith Robes (Epic)]
Ding! [Blood extraction successful]
Ding! [You have acquired the skill Blessed Chains]
Surprisingly, the skills he was gaining from NPCs were a lot more diverse and rare when compared to the skills he had gained from the players so far. With each kill, Damon was becoming stronger and stronger, a lot more than he had anticipated.
At first, he did not notice, but soon it became clear that his blood extraction success rate had jumped to a scary 70% from the 50% or 40% it was before. For every ten kills, he was gaining stats or skills for 7 or more kills. Sometimes he was even gaining more than one benefit like a stat point and skill combined. His power was increasing at a frightening pace.
These NPCs also gave experience points which was a sweet added bonus. He was now only a little shy of reaching the level 50 milestone.
However, these were still small rewards. Damon knew he had to keep his eye on the big prize especially now that he knew how overpowered the super ten guilds really were. If he had to compete on their level, then he needed a lot more than what he currently had.
He needed absolute power!
After culling down the numbers a little, Damon summoned Elina the snake to take care of the rest. She could deal with the weaklings and reduce the overall numbers in the purification raid. It was time for him now to join the big league.
Besides the snake, Damon’s shadow clone was also pulling in tremendous numbers. Between all the kills loot was piling up on the battlefield. The dozen vampire players watched this sight with greed in their eyes and could not hold back any longer. After all, they had also received huge buffs and wanted to try out their strength and newfound power.
