Crimson Overlord

Chapter 10

After teleporting them villa, Orpheus and Amber appeared inside a forest. Immediately, their sights were greeted by a dark shaded forest.

Amber found it both ominous looking and different from a normal forest she read in a book.

”Ugh! I thought the air inside a forest should feel vibrant, more natural, but what I’m smelling now disgusts me.” Amber had taken a quick whiff of the air and slightly scrunched her nose. Due to her sharp senses as a vampire, what an average human could not smell, she smelled it, a foul stench.

Indeed, the stench here was foul. Orpheus found it similar to standing next to rotten blood that has been eroded for weeks.

”I brought you here to let you experience some real-life fight,” Orpheus explained, not giving Amber enough time to ask a question before she heard the sound of fingers snapping, then her master suddenly vanished.

”Wait, Master?” Amber’s words remained unanswered.

‘Ah! Master sure like to play.’ She thought.

However, just as this thought struck Amber’s mind, the sounds of grass crunching immediately caught the vampire’s attention.

At the same time, Amber’s supernatural sense picked up on two hostile presences rapidly approaching her. She shot her gaze to her left side as that’s where she sensed the evil presences are.

And right then, from over twenty meters away, two massive shadowy figures dashed out of a large bush of leaves.

‘Origin Beasts!’ Amber narrowed her eyes on the approaching vicious beasts.

Origin beasts are beasts, monsters capable of wielding origin. While only those high-tier origin beasts can use elements like other races, normal ones aren’t less dangerous; origin had strengthened their physics, making them capable of easily crushing the skull of weak Origin masters.

‘Origin beast, Mad Lion. Probably Tier 1.’ Amber quickly analyzed the two approaching beasts.

Beasts power levels are classified by Tier. An Origin Beast Tier 1= Origin Master Level 7-6, Tier 2=Level 5, Tier 3=Level 4, and so on.

The Mad lion Origin beast was over two meters wide and tall, casting a large shadow over the petite Amber, barely 5.6 ft (1.68m).

Large spiky teeth that looked like mini blades protruded out of their mouths, and their eyes were glowing an intense red hue.

If any other first-time origin masters were to face off against a vicious origin beast like this, it wouldn’t be strange at all if they felt fear at its terrifying appearance.

However, Amber, not only was she calm, but a maniac smile spread across her lips. Her gentle side was gone, replaced by the thirst for blood, for carnage.

Orpheus, who was watching Amber from somewhere, smirked at this sight. He was a little bit worried, ready to rebuke Amber if she were to freak out. He planned to watch how his servant would fight, but things wouldn’t go as he planned because some unwanted guests, no it was an unwanted guest, he sensed his presence when he first came in the capital but didn’t approach him but who could have thought that he would appear here. Orpheus chuckled; while he noticed the other party’s presence, he also noticed his presence and grinned before vanishing after saying a few words to the twins.

On the other side, Amber was ready to fight.

”Blood Arts: Blood Strengthening!”

Amber stimulated the blood inside her body. Indescribable power fueled her entire body, giving Amber a sensation like she was on top of the world right now.

Simultaneously, one of the Mad Lions shot forward. And when the beast was within ten meters of her, Amber sprang right towards the left side of the lion.

Swoosh!

A massive gust of wind swirled around the area as Amber shot off like a bullet.

Her speed was immense, reaching the origin beast in just a mere second! In only a second, she crossed ten meters of distance with a single leap.

And amazingly enough, Amber wasn’t disorientated at all. Instead, she was in complete control of her insane movement speed. It was to be expected; she had trained to do this.

When Amber reached the mad lion, she didn’t hesitate. She sent a clean, powerful fist straight at the beast’s enormous head.

The enormous mad lion origin beast couldn’t react at all to Amber’s insane speed.

By the time its mind started to register what was going on, her fist had already crashed onto its colossal head, causing a sickening impact to sound out.

‘Bang!

The horrifying sound of the skull getting bashed open echoed out in the quiet, dark-shaded forest.

In just a single hit, Amber tore right through the vicious lion beast’s defenses like it was made of fragile glass. Her super vampire strength strengthened by the Blood Arts overpower the Origin beast’s tough physics without any resistance.

The result of their single clash was a gory mess that would make any normal human puke at sight.

It was a terrifying mess of dark red blood, brain matter, and bones in front of Amber’s feet. All that was left of the mad lion origin beast was its overly long body twitching on the ground.

The second mad lion froze, its brain not quite registering what just happened, and during a fight, a momentarily stop like this was fatal. Amber, whose vampire side had completely awakened, appeared before the frozen beast and raised her leg before brutally bringing it down.

Bang! Crack! Poh!

The Mad Lion skull was quickly broken by the powerful kick that descended upon its head, and just like that, she killed another origin beast.

Since the beginning of the fight, not even five minutes have passed, and Amber had taken care of two Tier 1 Origin beasts effortlessly.

”This is too easy; compared to master skeleton knights, these Tier 1 Origin beasts are nothing,” Amber commented as her eyes scanned her surrounding in the search for more origin beasts but found nothing in the vicinity. Just as she searched further, she stopped as she remembered something. She then approached the two dead beasts; she searched through their bodies and finally took out two thumb-sized stones, called origin stones.

”I almost forgot.” Securing the two origin stones, she departed toward the depth of the forest, eager to gain more experience.
