Chapitre 11: Another SSS class!

11 Another SSS class!

Hearing the vampire woman's warning, Layla nervously gulped her saliva as she lowered her eyes to avoid crossing her garnet eyes.

'What should I do?' As she wondered, a male voice resonated in her head to advise her.

[Mll Talka, it's a terrible idea to accept this offer from her. She wants to turn you into one of them. And if this ever happens, you will be under his command forever; no matter your power and will, you will never be able to break the bond of subordination with a vampire!]

'...I know, but...what are our chances of survival if we refuse this order that she formulates as a request?'

[...You are right. Like most demonic species, vampires are knowns to be arrogant, possessive, and crazy beings... I wouldn't be surprised if she killed us for this refusal from you.]

'Everything is reversible...as long as we're not dead.' She said to herself while addressing her guide.

[...]

Seeing his silence, she had an ironic smile. Just like Zanac and Lucas, she woke up in this new world just a week ago and realized that everything she owned was taken from her, and all her being was reduced to this state of livestock.

'We have no choice; it's the only way I have to take...if I want to survive in this world.' She stammered these words while looking the blood beast straight in the eyes.

"Fufu~, I see you're intelligent, young cattle, or rather... young girl." The vampire woman spoke in a playful and excited tone when she saw Layla's eyes. Just by her decisive eyes, she could guess Layla's decision.

"Very well~; let's proceed with the sacred ritual." She said, biting her fingertip and letting a drop of her blood land on Layla's forehead.

At the same time, a scarlet magic circle emerged under Layla's feet, who had tearful eyes. But instead of running down her forehead, the blood drop entered her forehead, making her cry with a dying pain.

The woman did not stop at this. She licks her lips and implants her sharp fangs in Layla's neck before starting to suck her blood with intoxicating garnet irises greedily.

As the seconds turned into minutes, Layla's eyes lost their glimmer of life, followed by her body shaking as if she were continually suffering an electric shock.

"Nnh~, it's the most delicious blood I've ever tasted." She moans in an erratic voice while removing her sharp fangs from Layla's neck, whose body collapses softly on the ground.

Just seeing her on the ground with empty eyes, her heart no longer beating, and her skin's paleness, anyone could guess her current state. She was...dead!

But the vampire woman did not panic, despite the strangely complex situation. She left Layla on the floor and returned to sit on her armchair as if nothing had happened and continued to lick the remains of the blood on her luscious lips.

After about ten more minutes, Layla's lifeless body began to tremble madly, followed by the strange events' successions. The bruises and bites traces on her body... began by mysteriously disappearing, making her skin immaculate and pale.

Her short black hair instantly turned silvery white, and her irises turned to scarlet reds, making them more threatening and mesmerizing.

Seeing her like this, the woman frowned slightly.

But before she said anything, Layla knelt in front of her; "Thank you for giving me this grace, Lady Celestine." She spoke in a monotonous tone, making the vampire woman shiver.

System information:

|Congratulations, transmigrated N•XX, your class's rank has evolved following the acquisition of a new bloodline.|

|Holy knight class (SS) has evolved into a blood knight class (SSS)!|

|You have received three skills (S) related to your new class - 100EP - 100SP - 1000IP|

...

Seeing these rewards, Layla had a subtle smile on her lips.

At the same time, Mapple, who had just completed Miya's bedroom' inspection, had mad red eyes.

"Gargas, mobilize all the troops; you'll go hunting for this slave bastard who dared to kidnap the princess!" She thundered these words as she went out into Miya's bedroom.

Gargas, who was still in his daydreaming after hearing the words of his mistress, suddenly woke up following the chills that cooled his blood. "Kidnap the princess?" He wondered, always in his confusion.

But on the other side of the door, Mapple, who had just left Miya's bedroom, sprinted towards the basement while sweat pearls sparkled on her forehead.

'I have to resolve this situation as soon as possible. If the queen learns the truth, it is not only my position that will threaten by her, but even my own life will be in danger! F*ck, how could things go so badly in less than a month of absence only?!' She constantly repeated these words in her brain like a mad woman.

After creating all this chaos, the main troublemakers hunted nonchalantly into the forest as if nothing had happened.

Zanac's white clothes are now dark blue after spending more than twelve hours of non-stop hunting.

He was fighting against a demonic beast (Lvl 12) with thicker skin than his previous opponents.

But the most impressive was not the demonic beast, but Zanac, fighting a one-way battle against his prey.

No matter how the beast tried to reach or use its sneaky strategies against him, the imperturbable Zanac avoided all its attacks without too much effort.

As for Miya, even if she knew that Zanac would have no problem getting rid of the demonic beast, she did not lower her guard and was ready at any time to intervene in case her master had unforeseen events.

Unlike the Gigore, Zanac faced another type of demonic beast who had a titanic body and constrained any attack on his part and generally attacked him by using three tentacles to defend himself, immobilize him, or repel him by hitting Zanac with one of its three tentacles that are above its bestial head; which had the same shape as a rhinoceros.

|Demonic Beast: Yoty (Lvl 12)|

|HP: 56/120|

The Yoty are gigantic demonic beasts the size of a rhinoceros. Still, red fur hides all their skins, and they have tentacles above their head that could widen at an incredible speed to capture their prey or allow them to protect themselves from the potential attacks of their enemies. But what made them frightening was the regenerative characteristics of their tentacles, no matter how many times they are slashed!

As a result, even if its speed was slow, because of the weight of its body, its tentacles are more than enough to help it erase this weakness. But apart from this, its strength had nothing to envy other demonic species!

Since the beginning of its fight against Zanac, the Yoty has not taken a step forward or backward. Instead, its tentacles did all the work in its place.

'Tsk, Miya was right. This demonic beast was more tenacious than all the other beasts I had met. She said that its weakness is its speed, but... Its tentacles are as fast as my own speed. Do I have to use my bonus stats to increase my speed?' He said to Himself by cutting another tentacle that was about to reach him.

But instantly, the tentacle that is sliced regenerated, and the other part that is slashed immediately dilated on the ground.

'Tsk, Tsk, the most awkward is that no matter how much it loses its tentacles, its life bar remains intact. And he doesn't seem to suffer from that. Without this sword that Miya gave me, I don't know how I would resist until now.' He continued to keep a safe distance between himself and the beast.

|Ivan's sword (C)|

|Unique Weapon made by the dwarf blacksmith. - active skill (Inferno) - Durability (1200/1199)|

'This sword is incredible. No matter how much I slice the tentacles, it has not yet lowered a level. It is as light as a feather but as hard and sharp as it gives me the impression of fighting with a Kodachi. But if I don't solve this problem, I'm afraid I'll run out of stamina!'

[Master, if you want my opinion, you must use your [70SP] that you have in reserve to get closer to this beast.]

'Sigh, it will be a mess. If I hastily use my SPs now, I might have serious problems if I meet an enemy stronger than me. Even if I don't know anything about a demonic beast, I know one thing, octopuses have a low resistance to fire.' He said to himself, looking at his sword while focusing on the demonic beast that walked towards him with turtle steps.

[...What is the relationship?]

'Sigh, it's just an intuition, but from what I understand, this Yoty's tentacles have a range of ten meters. So to get closer to it, I must not only get rid of its tentacles that regenerate instantly, but I must also give it a deadly blow before the regeneration of its tentacles.'

[That's why I suggested you use your SPs to increase speed. It's...

'If I do this, I have to use at least 30SP to lose sight of it. But it will also have consequences. My Stats are at 25. If my speed suddenly explodes to 60AGI, it will negatively affect my strength and senses. In short, let's try something to see; if it doesn't work, we'll have no choice but to adopt your proposal.' After politely refusing Lucie's proposal, he let his energy flow toward the sword in his right hand.

At the same time, scarlet flames appeared on the sword's blade in one hand!

|Ivan's sword's unique skill is activated.|

|Inferno: active competence, (-70EP). Activation time, 30 seconds. Cooldown, 30mins.|

|Ivan's sword will lose 5durability after each activation of this skill.|

Seeing the flames, the demonic beast suddenly stopped and began to retreat sharply.

'Huh?! Hehe... so that was it? Even if you're not an octopus, you still have the same weakness as them.' He replied, strolling towards the Yoty, which looked like a turtle.

Seeing Zanac close to it, the Yoty attacks him again with its tentacles. But Zanac replied by slicing one of the three tentacles and avoiding the other two.

-Kruuuu!!!!

For the first time, the Yoty cried in pain after being affected by the fire.

But Zanac's eyes widened when he saw that not only did the tentacle he slice the end not regenerate, but he became motionless for about five seconds!

The demonic beast stared at him with hateful eyes, realizing that Zanac did not intend to let him withdraw.

Two other tentacles emerged above its head under its rage and whistled toward Zanac at lightning speed!

"Hah~, it's crazy how unfair the world is. You thought you were playing with me, didn't you?!" As for the latter, He thundered these words with a sadistic smile while sprinting toward the demonic beast.
