Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 252 - William Axis VS Noah 2

-----

William was utterly baffled as he saw Noah unleash a beam of pure crimson-red light from his claws, which impacted him like a truck, hitting his chest and blowing up his entire mech into pieces!

But it didn't stop at that, as the all-consuming crimson-red light impacted William's body as well, burning through his flesh! He tried to shield himself with his arms, as they began to be consumed by this destroying energy!

BOOOM!!!

The entire mech was blown into pieces, falling over the entire garden as William's barely living torso fell over the ground, as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were lost of light, his hair was completely burnt, his skin was red and roasted, and his lungs were being fried by having inhaled the smoke produced by the mechanical pieces exploding.

"Hahh…! Aaggh…!"

William tried to move, to grab a potion and heal while activating his Healing Skill, Healing Recovery Aura, an A-Grade Healing Skill, but even then, he was barely healing his wounds.

He noticed that his arms and legs were broken and that these ones were obviously not healing back. William's face grew paler, as he heard Noah slowly approaching him with the glowing aura of a bloodthirsty beast!

"The difference between S-Rank and SSS-Rank is quite big… Too big, I would say," said Noah.

William's mind felt like it was fragmenting into pieces as he heard Noah's words.

SSS-Rank?!

Seriously?!

Was he… hiding such monstrous strength?!

How?

There wasn't anyone in the world with such a high rank, it was simply a speculated one!

Yet… yet!

He said he was one…

And even more, he easily overpowered him to the point of ridiculing him like this!

In fact, William was already resigning himself into becoming a crippled man…

His entire life was about to fall apart… and that's if Noah were to not kill him first, that's it!

Each of Noah's steps felt like a stake in William's heart, an enormous fear made him go insane, each step, each step was like torture!

He was approaching, slowly!

Death was coming to him!

William slowly moved his head to the direction where Noah was coming, his eyes sinking into his eye sockets as the light of his aquamarine eyes was completely gone.

His face was completely disfigured after being burnt and healed back, and his long and silky blonde hair was gone from his head, being left bald and pathetic-looking.

Noah smiled back at William, who had dared to reject his invitation.

But it wasn't as if it mattered to him, he knew he was going to beat him, and he beat him, and that was it.

It was as simple as showing off your strength against the insolent, these were the simple and ruthless laws of the entire universe, all across countless galaxies, the strong ruled and the weak cowered before the strong was devoured by the strong, and was played by the strong.

And William, a gifted awakened man who has been living his entire life as the strong, had now found someone stronger.

In this universe, there was always someone stronger than you, and on earth, this truth even for those at the pinnacle, S-Rank Hunters.

Because Noah, the former weak, had raised into the strong and stood at the pinnacle of the world!

And with strength and ruthlessness, he was going to dominate it all, and greedily take over everything!

He was ambitious, after all.

Noah reached William as he glanced at his aquamarine eyes.

"What's wrong? Weren't you going to stop me, William? Where is that arrogance? Gone from your every eye. Where is that pride? Nowhere to be seen. It seems that you were never a strong man…" sighed Noah, as he waved his head and looked at William as if he were looking at a pathetic ant!

William for the first time felt his heart and spirit being broken into pieces, left hopeless to Noah's mercy, he was nothing but fodder, or worse than fodder!

"It is a pity, don't you have any other power? I would have liked to test out my other abilities…" sighed Noah, who had begun to feel the dilemma that he might be too strong for this planet now.

William's face twisted in anger and frustration! How dare he say that?!

"GGRRAAAAAAHH! SHUT UP!" he roared, as suddenly, William's entire body exuded a large amount of mana, he was using all of his mana as he summoned many other mechanical pieces, which began to assemble in midair at an incredible speed, forming a giant fist and hitting Noah!

BOOOM!!!

William saw the impact, he saw it! Even if Noah survived, he should be greatly injured at the very least!

A stupid and triumphant smile emerged on William's burnt and healed lips, as his aquamarine eyes glowed with malicious light.

"Hehe… HAHA! In your face!" he laughed.

However, what answered was an ear-piercing monstrous voice.

"Oh? Did you think you managed to hit me because I didn't let you? Such is the thought process of the weak… (Hm, albeit I used to be weak. Perhaps I shouldn't be so arrogant then? Bah, who cares?)" sighed Noah, as a flashing thought entered his mind only to dissipate quickly after.

"Hahhh?!"

William's eyes glared at the monster that now replaced Noah… it was a gigantic, five-meter-big muscular humanoid being. It had its body covered with black scales and possessed red-colored veins all around the parts without scales. A pair of giant membrane wings with grotesque veins extended. Noah's face had completely changed, as he looked like an ugly and stoic man, his hair was gone too, and instead of hair, he had a crown of long horns.

An aura of immense bloodthirst and density exuded from his body, as he stopped William's mechanical arm with a single hand!

"An interesting power… You will make a good addition to my Guild," said Noah, as William suddenly gritted his teeth, controlling the mechanical arm to hit Noah with all its strength!

However, Noah raised his fist and gave an upper jab, impacting the mechanical fist before it was to hit the rest of his body!

CLASH!

The entire mechanical arm exploded into pieces with a thundering explosion!

"This is… what… are you?!"
