Chapter 565: The Dark Lord Unleashed
When Sabrina's heartbeat stopped, Michael's anger exploded within him.
"System, use everything I have and block the vampires from leaving this place," Michael said to the system in his mind.
[Yes Host] the system did not dare to utter any words. It sounded terrified of Michael, and it should be because the vampires broke Michael's limit.
Michael tried to reach out to touch her face, but he couldn't. Meanwhile, the vampires laughed wholeheartedly as their evil laughter echoed through the dungeon.
"They only said to let one live right?" Zarathor licked his lips as he took a deep whiff of the air.
The smell of Michael's blood captivated the vampire. Zarathor walked toward Michael, craving more blood.
But as he approached Michael, the dungeon started to grow darker.
Additionally, the silent shadow realm suddenly got filled with rumbling thunderclaps.
The grins on their faces instantly vanished. The crimson red atmosphere gradually returned to the gloomy black and white.
"What's happening?" Zarathor looked around with a confused face.
All the vampires frantically moved their heads around to see what was happening until they saw the dark cloud enveloping Ghost. Michael slowly picked himself up as the dark cloud grew thicker to the point the vampires couldn't see his face anymore.
"ARGGHHHHHHHHH!"
The vampires jolted back when they heard Michael's beastly roar. Zarathor was in a state of shock seeing the cursed chains cracking little by little. In a few moments, the chains coiled around Michael completely shattered.
Cling!
Cling!
Cling!
"Holy fuck," Zarathor took a step back, realizing what was happening.
Since Cloud of Darkness affected the weak-willed enemies to lose their courage and surrender, some of the vampires began to shiver.
The place almost turned pitch black due to the Death Range and Cloud of Darkness. Michael did not hold back. He activated every spell in his arsenal to boost his power. Moreover, his anger fueled his power to the next level.
At that moment, his power was equal to a Fusion Stage level 2 cultivator. In other words, he and Zarathor were at the same level.
"You…you're the Dark Lord," Zarathor mumbled.
The vampire who arrived last tried to leave the place by teleporting away. They all arrived at the Shadow Realm using a teleporter. That was why Michael did not sense them or see them coming. However, Michael locked the place with the help of the system. It cost Michael 200,000 badass points, but he didn't give a damn.
Michael dashed at the vampire several meters behind Zarathor,
"Shit," the vampire's heart skipped a beat.
The vampire tried to reach for the dagger hanging on his waist but Michael punched the vampire in the chest.
Pulch!
The vampires were startled as Michael's hand came out of the vampire's back. Since Michael enveloped himself with the Dark Fire, the vampire's armor did not protect him.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 300,000 Experience points and 5000 Badass points]
Michael crushed the beating heart of the vampire with his bear hand. The gruesome sight affected already terrified vampires.
Before the vampires could react, Michael dashed at another vampire.
Bang!
Michael headbutted the vampire, distorting the vampire. Then, Michael pulled out the vampire's throat with his bare hands. However, that did not kill the vampire. Holding his throat, the vampire growled as Michael grabbed the vampire by his head and burned his head with the dark flames.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 300,000 Experience points and 6000 Badass points]
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is the Soul Refining stage Level 7!]
After leveling up, Michael's power skyrocketed as more and more vampires began to be affected by the Cloud of Darkness. However, some of them snapped out of their shock and dashed at Michael casting various speed spells.
Michael just cast the ring of fire to create the dark flame ring around him to burn the vampires. The vampires reacted quickly by shielding them with a translucent blood-red energy shield.
Regardless of their shields, the dark flames burnt their skin.
"ARGHHHH!"
The vampires screamed in agony as the air in the dungeon reeked with the stench of burning flesh.
"Shit," Zarathor tried to teleport back to their headquarters. The vampires did not dare to underestimate the Dark Lord. Hence, instead of fighting him alone, Zarathor tried to get back up from their headquarters. Yet no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't teleport himself.
At that time, the vampires shot several blood beams at Michael.
Cling!
Cling!
Michael quickly raised his arm, taking out his shield and blocking the beams. Despite the lightness of the shield, it stopped all the attacks.
While blocking the blood beams, Michael locked his gaze with the vampire who banged his head against the wall earlier.
The vampire felt a chill running down his spine when he saw the Dark Lord's head turning towards him. He didn't even blink an eye when Michael appeared before him.
Michael was pushing himself to the absolute limit. Thus, he moved fast to the point he left after images. Although the vampires and Michael were at the same cultivation stage, the Darkness and anger made him several times more powerful than them. Michael was a god, after all.
The vampires barely had time to cast any spells or even to attack him.
Bang!
Michael dragged the vampire to the same wall against which the vampire banged his head and returned the favor. Usually, Michael would quickly finish off his enemies, but now, he wanted them to suffer for killing Sabrina.
Zarathor saw Michael banging the vampire's head against the wall mercilessly until the head turned into a bloody mush.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 300,000 Experience points and 6000 Badass points]
Zarathor finally gave up on trying to teleport away and decided to attack the Dark Lord. He dashed at Michael at the speed of lightning. But Michael already moved on to another target.
Despite Michael's overwhelming anger, he kept the anger from blinding him. He wanted to get as strong as possible before targeting Zarathor. Therefore, Michael picked the Soul Refining stage vampires one by one.

Michael killed another two vampires by crushing their heads in the blink of an eye.
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is the Soul Refining stage Level 8!]
In a few moments, Michael killed five out of twelve vampires and almost became as powerful as a Fusion Stage level 4 warrior.
"ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly Michael looked at the dark sky and roared to the point the entire dungeon trembled. His vice turned demonic without using any modulators. H kept roaring until the walls began to crack, and the vampires collapsed to the ground covering their ears. A few vampires even bled through their ears and eyes.
When Michael stopped roaring, Zarathor felt like a storm had passed by them. He saw the Dark Lord breathing heavily, and the place became darker every time his chest rose up.
"You!" The Dark Lord pointed his finger at Zarathor.
Zarathor took a deep breath and dashed at him. Michael covered himself with Dark Flames while Zarathor enveloped himself with a blood shield.
When the two of them clashed, the shock wave sent the vampires flying onto the walls.
Michael sent several bolts of lightning toward the vampires who were burnt by the Dark flames when he cast the ring of fire. Unfortunately, they were already on the verge of death, so they died instantly when the lightning bolt hit them.

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is the Soul Refining stage Level 9!]
If the current stage was not enough, Michael consumed several berserker pills to boost his strength. Instead of using the swords, Michael took out the Doombringer and swung at Zarathor as fast as he could. The latter was caught off guard as he didn't expect Dark Lord to fight using a war hammer.
Zarathor quickly waved his hand as a blood stream materialized in front of him, saving him from the war hammer. However, he didn't see Dark Lord disappearing from his sight once again.
Bang!
Michael brought the doom bringer on a vampire's head. Zarathor dashed at Michael to stop him from killing more of his brethren. Yet, Michael had already killed another two by crushing their heads with the Doom Bringer.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 300,000 Experience points and 6000 Badass points]
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is the Soul Refining stage Level 10!]
Only three vampires remained in the dungeon at that time, including Zarathor.
"No one would have suffered as you will," Michael growled at Zarathor and raised his hands as the remaining two vampires began to rise from the ground.
They slowly floated toward Michael while Zarathor closed his eyes summoning a large red chakra made of blood.
"Go," Zarathor fired the chakra at Michael as Michael sent a powerful gust of wind mixed with darkness to halt the chakra in mid-air. The momentary halt gave Michael enough time to kill the remaining two vampires. He first burnt them using the Dark Flames to prevent them from casting any spells. Then, he hit their heads with the Doom Bringer, using every bit of his strength.
