Chapter 343 The Patriarchs' deaths

Almost all the Vampire nobles, especially the patriarchs were a nuisance to Victoria.

She had known them for centuries, some even since she was born. However, instead of building cordial relations with all the noble Vampires that had been around her when her father had still been alive, she hated all of them to the core.

There was basically not a single noble Vampire, whom she liked. All of them were hypocrites, and self-centered and they wouldn’t even hesitate to kill thousands if they could receive even a 0.01% increase in their strength.

She wanted all of them to freeze to death, which was what Victoria planned to let happen today.

Thus, while Dilan wreaked havoc with the ground not even 10 meters away from everyone else, Victoria shot in the direction of the Melza family’s patriarch.

On the other hand, Yvonne sent her Minotaur Leaders at the patriarch as well before she ascended in the air to make sure that all the other Vampires had been taken care of.

“The ordinary Vampires are dead, and it looks like Dilan was quite meticulous as well…” Yvonne mumbled to herself, trying to wrap her head around the fact that somehow Dilan was still able to fight.

She knew that Dilan should have been severely injured by two skyscrapers collapsing above him and lost his limbs or at least dislocated a bone.

He was basically smashed into the ground with tremendous force but still fought like a desperate beast that was out for blood, and on a rampage to obliterate all the threats around him. Now, he had sustained several more injuries yet it felt like he was overflowing with vigor.

This was something Yvonne simply predicted with the terrific force and the way Dilan slashed at the ground, to get closer to the Bryte family patriarch’s body that should be frozen solid.

A few powerful Vampires were still alive but they seemed to have been cut in half not too long ago. Yvonne shot downward with two daggers gleaming in her hands. She pierced them through the hearts and the heads of the severely injured Vampires that were currently healing, killing them for good.

While Yvonne finished off the Vampires all around, the Undead Minotaur Leaders smashed their maces at the Melza family’s patriarch. Victoria used the undeads as decoys to slip unnoticed through the gap between the patriarch’s feet. She was holding a Thunderbolt dagger in her hand and slashed out with it, cutting through the noble Vampire’s tendons.

Victoria moved rapidly, without making any useless movements. She wanted to kill the noble Vampire in front of her but could clearly tell that it would be foolish. Her life would be in danger the moment she got too close to the Vampire, who could summon blazing flames and her attacks wouldn’t be strong enough to end the patriarch either way.

She was at Tier-2 but her mana was drained completely, meaning that her strongest attack, her Vampire Power, had been rendered useless. Victoria couldn’t use it, which was why she was forced to turn her focus on using her brute strength to rival the patriarch’s blazing flames and his high strength.

Within seconds, the maces of the Minotaur Leaders hit their target several times in succession. Simultaneously, Victoria had cut the neck of the patriarch, nearly severing it completely.

She had attempted to behead the noble Vampire, but he had reacted at the last moment, saving his head as he twisted his body to prevent the worst-case scenario.

However, the life of the Melza family’s patriarch was bound to end soon. It was impossible for him to flee and his one and only resurrection ability had already been used once, leaving him anxious and desperate.

He had wasted it because it had been entirely useless to die at Dilan’s hand. The patriarch had underestimated Dilan at first, which was the whole reason for the death of most Vampires and their doom; they didn’t think highly of Dilan’s strength.

Now, their opinion had changed but that didn’t really help because it was already too late.

He didn’t have a Magic Scroll in his possession, not one that could be used instantaneously which further added salt to the patriarch’s injuries. It was frustrating and the Melza family’s patriarch released his entire mana at once, turning everything around him into blazing flames.

Victoria shot backward to save her life. Her clothes were burning and she extinguished the flames by tearing off her sleeves and all the other areas where her clothes had caught fire.

Meanwhile, as she was focused on preventing her body from turning into a Vampire torch, the Minotaur Leaders kept smashing their maces on the noble Vampire, who slowed down after a while. He was exhausted and all the attacks of the noble Vampire seemed to be useless against the Minotaur Leader Skeletons.

The black membrane created by the [Death Curse] had worn off and the Undead’s bones began to show signs of melting but that was already it. They didn’t stop moving and kept hitting the heavy maces on the Vampire, who was still trying hard to evade as many attacks as possible.

It was only a matter of time before he would die, which Dilan realized as well. He didn’t even think of stealing the kill of the Melza family’s patriarch for himself because both Yvonne and Victoria deserved it.

His intervention would make things much easier but he was currently digging a several-meter-deep pit into the ground to pave his way to the heart and the head of the semi-solid frozen Bryte patriarch.

Dilan looked over to Victoria in astonishment when he realized just how powerful her Blood Ice truly was.

“Even though I can strike through her Blood-Ice with various enhancements, I doubt that it would work out without the reallocated stats of [Switch]…” He mumbled, feeling a bit contemplated.

If Victoria were to fight more strategically instead of being overwhelmed by her own emotions, she would be much stronger and fiercer than she was right now.

“Finally, I got you, bastard!” Dilan cursed out, flashing a smile as he reached both the heart and the brain of the Bryte family’s patriarch.

They had crammed themselves together in the smallest crevice they could find to hide, while the rest of their bodies had shapeshifted into fleshy vines.

[Monstrous Shapeshifting] was a powerful ability but it was also quite disgusting. Dilan would have loved to have this ability but he also guessed that it didn’t really suit his fighting style. He would probably end up doing something stupid with that ability, especially since he was known for fighting in a rather stupid manner.

However, that was not his focus. He wanted to kill the Bryte family’s patriarch as long as it was still possible. It was the first time Dilan received the opportunity to end the most annoying patriarch, and he didn’t hesitate to thrust the dagger through both his heart and brain nearly at the same time.

The 30-centimeter-long blade of the Thunderbolt dagger pierced through the brain first, causing the entire body to shake violently despite being frozen in a semi-solid state. But that was all the patriarch could do before he spasmed and died a death that was way too nice for all the gruesome things he had done in the past.

The thunderbolt dagger pierced through the brain and dug into the heart, and the fleshly vines stopped moving altogether.

This was an indicator that the Melza family’s patriarch had been killed, and the first big battle against the Vampire Clans seemed to be about to end.

Now, only the Vampires of the Likar family and their tiny pets were left alive!
