Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 223 - New Blood Servant And Ability Cores Offering!

-----

By using the Blood Servants as a primary meat shield that feed upon Mana of the monsters they defeated (alongside draining it from Noah even from very far away), the group of many Vampires, Robots, and blood Servants decimated an A-Rank Dungeon within the time Noah and his party spent resting and evolving.

When Noah and his party finally reached the area thanks to Noire's fast Shadow Travel Ability, they were greeted by the large party, which was mostly trying to ignore the cameramen, although some Vampires got pissed and blasted off some cameras with long-ranged attacks to scare them off. As Noah had told them, they didn't have to say a single thing to any reporter that was to try to talk to them, and if they insisted… they were allowed to use force to fend them off.

The Noctem Family was so big now that they began to settle large camps around the Gates for all the members that were preparing or resting for a bit before joining another army into the expedition as if they were even more efficient than the military itself, which was still preparing to even get inside a B-Rank Dungeon, while already most of them were completed and only one was left, which was being completed at this very moment.

Just as they had said, they would complete and make all gates disappear in less than a week!

The people had initially not believed it, and many were very shocked by this news, but the proof was right before their eyes, and the cameras all around the place which the Vampires were not able to catch were filming all of this, each B-Rank Gate was being destroyed before their noses, and the second A-Rank Gate was already gone!

And all of that within the span of… what? 4 hours? It was clearly out of this world!

Not only Sector D was being shaken, but the entire world!

All people from all Sectors were seeing this, Hunters all around the world were being surprised that a single Guild was doing something that was a sector's worth of a job in just a bit less than 5 hours!

Many Sectors around the world immediately began to contact Sector D within this time, many leaders of these governments were requesting the Noctem Family to come and help them with their dangerous B-Rank and above Gates! They were offering everything they had, money, resources, even attribute value cores which the government of Sector D was keeping so greedily!

Sector D's government, of course, was trying to block all these offers to reach Noah because they didn't want to let go of their golden eggs hen, but Noah got various messages of them anyways through his secret networks made up by the team of Robots.

For now, he was answering every request with "I will think about it, but don't think that I will do it if you don't offer a bit more!", shocking the leaders of every Sector due to his shamelessness!

Although each sector had their S-Rank Hunters and above, not all of them were moving their asses as efficiently as Noah was doing, and Noah, after reaching the Gates again, had announced to the public that they were all S-Rank, proving it with an artifact that calculated attribute values, surprising the entire sector through the TV of everyone.

After the little show-off, Noah gathered with the group that recently cleared the A-Rank Dungeon, which was led by Rodrigo and Lumis, the talented Ghouls with good Magic affinity. 

The group gathered inside a large camp, which Noah had quickly isolated from the outside world through the use of Blood Aegis.

Rodrigo and Lumis explained the details of the dungeon they visited while absorbing Attribute Value Cores and reaching S-Rank! Even Noah was a bit surprised over the fast progress of his army, but it was fitting for someone as great as himself anyways, the stronger they were the better.

Perhaps soon enough, they would be the first Guild to achieve such a big amount of S-Rank Hunters in all the world.

"My lord, the Dungeon we recently completed wasn't as hard as the one you visited, based on the descriptions you gave us about that one," said Rodrigo.

"Indeed, I feel like we cheated a bit, Master Noah…" sighed Lumis as he waved his cute, pink-colored foxtail.

"Don't talk nonsensical stuff. I picked the hardest one of my own accord, I wanted the greatest challenge. All of you were able to take the lesser ones, which was for the best of your growth. Fighting against someone like Beelzebub would have been your ultimate demise. I am glad I took it for myself with my party," said Noah, although he sounded prideful and arrogant, he was saying that he did it because he didn't want them to waste their lives going to a hard dungeon.

In a way, Noah was even seen as an overprotective man of his kin, and always thought about giving them fitting challenges to hasten their growth but nothing that would actually kill them in the process… he might seem evil and scheming, but he had a soft spot for those at his side, and this was one of the things that made all of his kin so fascinated ad dedicated to him, because he had a benevolent heart for them.

"Haha, Master you're always so gentle," said Lumis.

"Indeed, thank you for taking care of that Dungeon," said Rodrigo.

"Gentle? What are you talking about…? Anyways, now tell me the details…" said Noah.

Rodrigo and Lumis began to explain that the dungeon they visited was something similar to a large jungle filled with monkey-type monsters, from enormous gorillas the size of skyscraper named Great Kongs to long-armed orangutans that could grasp things from afar and crush them, and even fire-breathing monkeys, the last boss was something named Monkey King, and it held great strength, but Lumis and Rodrigo ultimately overpowered him with the help of their large army, which also grew as the Blood Servants converted the dead monkeys into more Blood Servants.

However, Lumis and Rodrigo's magic came into good use, as Lumis was able to employ his Life Magic to control the nature and plants of the jungle to his favor, creating all sorts of traps and attacks, surprising the Monkey King, while Rodrigo's Fire Magic was incredibly potent, burning the Monkey King severely.

After the exploration, they bought many corpses, including the Monkey King, which Noah promptly raised into a Grand Elite General Blood Soul Servant.

Ding!

[You have raised the [Blood Soul Servant: Crimson Monkey King: Grand Elite General]!]

Additionally, Noah had gained around 130 more Blood Soul Servants in all the shapes and forms of many Monkey-type monsters, which hid from the public by hiding inside the bloodstreams of all the Vampires.

Noah, however, decided to make the Vampires keep these Blood Servants as members of their large parties to assist them.

He had already tried to absorb the blood of the Monkey King, but it seemed that in that little time they bought his corpse here, it was already stale, this is why he was made a Blood Soul Servant.

He also tried to analyze the bloodline of other carcasses, but he was not able to get anything, however, he hoped that in the next dungeon he would be able to get something.

Lastly, Lumis and Rodrigo gifted him a big pile of Ability Cores, which he happily absorbed.
