Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 235 - Shocking News!

-----

The Director of Axis Corporations watched the recordings of what has been filmed recently, the news that was broadcast within Sector D.

A beautiful young woman began to speak on the TV, talking about the achievements of a certain group of people.

"It has already been confirmed that the Noctem Family Guild had broken a world record, being the first Guild to finish an S-Rank Dungeon in less than a day…"

"Reports also say that the main group within the guild, led by their guild leader, Noah Noctem, had gone from A-Rank to S-Rank in a single day, and most presumed that at the end of the day… they would already be SS-Rank."

"These are, of course, glorious news for our Sector. Knowing that our people will be protected by such a righteous savior such as Noah Luna and his Guild, who had begun to complete Dungeons at incredible speeds have reassured the hearts of the people of Sector D…"

"Even more, just some minutes ago, Noah Luna Noctem himself had given us his words of confidence, saying that he would indeed complete the SS-Rank Dungeon above Axis Corporations building tomorrow… We are expectant to see our new National Hero in action," said the woman, as the TV showed Noah glancing directly at the camera.

"I have nothing to say. We simply did as we said we would do, and tomorrow morning, we'll be going to the SS-Rank Dungeon atop the Axis Corporations Building, and complete it!" said Noah arrogantly, smiling provocatively at the cameras as he walked away with his servants.

The Axis Corporations Director, a blonde and slim man glanced at the TV while squinting his eyes.

"S-Rank already… and possibly SS-Rank… Impressive. This amazing growth… and such arrogance. Heh, to be expected of a genius. There is possibly no chance for me to force him now… To think that just a few days ago I could have done so frustrates me! Just how fast does he grow? This is incredibly ridiculous…" sighed the Director, William Axis.

William suddenly noticed something within the recordings, as he saw a black-colored robot which he never remembered designing before suddenly summon an immense cloud of shadows, engulfing everyone with it and then disappearing out of thin air!

"What kind of power is that?!" he wondered. He had never in his entire life made such a model!

He was right, Noah was really changing his robots to acquire strange new powers and abilities way beyond his actual level of creation and edition of mechanical and technological parts.

"Amazing! Simply amazing, Noah! So you can even give such a strange model that ability?! What kind of mysteries do you hide? What kind of being are you? I want to know… I want to know so badly! No matter what, I will try to gain your trust, in fact, it is a must!" thought William, as he glanced at Sector D from within the windows of his flying car, which he used to travel from this faraway sector to Sector D!

Meanwhile, Bernard Gold, the leader of the Golden Guardians and a man who had plotted to kill Noah with his A-Rank Hunters was now barely recovering from a heart attack he got after hearing that Noah completed an A-Rank Dungeon in three hours.

The man he had as a servant was at his side, giving him some herbal tea to relax him.

Bernard had already decided to simply leave Noah alone, if he tried to pursue this for too long, he might end up getting himself killed.

He had already coped with the idea, and even if it sounded so ridiculous… it was the truth, Noah completed an A-Rank Dungeon, and was most likely soon going to become S-Rank.

His Guild members were not as strong, and if they were to go attack him, they would most likely get slaughtered.

The man sighed another time, as he decided to watch TV.

But what was on the News made him choke on the tea he was drinking.

"PPPFFFFF…! WHAT?!"

The tea he was holding spiled over his crotch and made him cry, as he saw on the TV Noah, who had already become an S-Rank and also completed an S-Rank Dungeon said that he would complete an SS-Rank Dungeon tomorrow!

For anyone normal, this wouldn't make any sense!

"H-He completed the S-Rank Dungeon in just four hours?! WHAAAAAAAT?! T-This is… ridiculous! WHY?! HOW?! AAAGGHHH…!"

Bernard began to pull out his hair so hard that blood began to spile out of the parts where his hair was pulled, he was going completely mental right now!

But who else wouldn't go insane after hearing Noah's immensely fast progression? This was utterly ridiculous in all senses of the word!

"Sir! Are you okay, sir?!"

"Uuuaagghhh..! GAGGGHHAAGGHH…!"

Bernard began to choke more as his crotch was burning by the boiling water of the tea, it was yet another horrible day.

Meanwhile, Noah, after reaching his castle, had decided to first take a quick bath and then absorb Attribute Value Cores.

He and Iris walked outside of the bathroom after having relaxed their bodies and tensed up muscles a bit more, and they felt ready to go and grow stronger… SS-Rank is within their grasp now!

The Master and Mistress of the family got into their usual clothes and walked downstairs, being greeted by their party, who all had relaxed and taken baths too, most of them were now enjoying some food, and a big feast was taking place, which used the meat of the poisonous beasts found in the Dungeon. The poison was of course taken away by Arthur's ability to control poison.

"Hm, this meat is good… What is it?" asked Iris.

"Oh, that's the Dragonfly!" said Timassa.

"T-The dragonfly?" asked Iris.

"Indeed. I had tasted it before when you burned them when they are roasted alive, the meat becomes tender and white like crab… They are a delicacy," said Noah.

"Oh? Indeed, it tastes so good! The tender white meat is so juicy too…" said Iris.

"I prepared it with all of my devotion, Iris-sama!" said Scarlet, emerging in her humanoid, red-colored slime-girl form.

After the feast, Noah, and everyone else was ready to use the Attribute Value Cores!
