I Became A Zompirewolf

Chapter 26 - What Blood Tastes Like (2)

__

You have killed two <level 10> Bloodsuckers.

Please proceed to drink their blood to gain Vampire Exp and skill points.

Please proceed to feast on their flesh to gain Undead Exp and skill points.

Since werewolf genes were not active during the defeat of the creatures, no exp will be awarded to level up your Werewolf Exp.

You have slain creatures much stronger than you. You have gained a new title!

[Defiant]: When fighting creatures who are more than 5 levels higher than your highest levelled genes, you will gain 10% bonus strength and defence. Killing the above-said creatures would also give you additional exp.

"I thought killing them would give me something, but I would have never thought it would give me a title... whatever that thing is," Ashton mumbled to himself while looking at the swords in his hands, "I guess I won't need to be worried about finding a weapon anymore."

Item: Short Swords of Soaring Winds

Type: Weapon

Damage: 150-183 HP per strike

Stats bonus:

>> Strength: +40 while equipped for use.

>> Deals 1.5x damage against Night Creatures.

>> Deals 2x damage against Werewolves.

Rarity: Rare

Description:

These short swords were crafted from the remains of a grade B creature. Its enormous azure teeth were used to make the blade of the swords while its hide was used to craft a suitable grip for the hilt. As for the hilt and the crossguard, both of those were made using the strongest bones found inside the creature.

A pair of swords that once belonged to the early Lycan nobility. The swords have been since assumed to be lost. Only to be found by you, however, the swords have forgotten their true purpose of slaying Vampires and the Night creatures.

Instead, it has tasted the blood of so many werewolves that its true potential can only be unlocked while fighting against werewolves.

Effect(s):

• Attacking enemies using this weapon exposes them to Haemmorage, making them lose 2% of their HP for the next 5 seconds. This ability has a cooldown period of 10 seconds (Ineffective on Elite beasts).

• Grants the user the passive skill: <Locked>. (Kill 10 A grade beasts to unlock this skill.)

• Grants the user the active skill: <Locked>. (Kill 100 A grade beasts to unlock this skill.)

"Huh... at least I can do additional damage to the werewolves and night creatures."

Saying so, he wiped Mera's blood off the short swords and placed them in his inventory. As much as he was excited about using the weapon as his go-to weapon, only a fool would do something like that.

Sooner or later, everyone will find out that someone had killed the bloodsuckers which would probably prompt an investigation. If in that case, he went around brandishing the azure short swords, he would be taken into custody and probably executed before he could even activate his genes.

Thus he decided it was better for now to keep the swords hidden inside his inventory and only use them while hunting creatures to level up his Undead and Vampire genes. With that being taken care of, Ashton finally decided to claim his real rewards.

Initially, he thought that just the idea of drinking blood and consuming raw flesh would make him puke, But now that he was about to do that, for some reason it looked surprisingly appetizing to him.

'Maybe it's because of the active genes...' Ashton reassured himself as he bent down on one knee and bit Mera's neck.

As soon as the rotten blood entered his mouth, Ashton could not stop biting more into her flesh. Nothing he had ever had tasted half as good as the blood he was drinking now. The blood felt as sweet as honey and a bit spicy at the same time.

As Ashton kept extracting the blood out of Mera, her body became frail and shrivelled up like a raisin. By the time he was done, a notification appeared in front of his eyes.

Ashton did not pay any attention to the text flashing in front of him. He was too last in ecstasy to do so. However, he eventually snapped out of it and realised he still had a task to do. So, he dug into Jacob's flesh and the same cycle repeated once again. He gained a couple of levels for the undead genes but did not gain another skill.

After he was done, he quickly wiped the blood off of him and made his way out of there. He did not want to linger around there in case someone saw anything. Once he was far enough, he reactivated his werewolf genes while deactivating the rest. So that no one could trace him back.

'Let's go back to the mansion before the sun rises.'
