Chapter 604 - 549: Ascended Royal Vampire (1/2)
While the contestants were climbing the Red Tower, things weren't as peaceful in the System's universe. In fact, there was one individual who caused a huge mess and forced the System to lock down the whole universe and tighten the security around the PE-50 Galaxy, where the majority of the forces and the main controlling unit is situated.
”Airship KX-09 down! All combat units requested in the AT zone.”
A human female was speaking through the microphone, passing the orders to players and alike. The invader appeared out of nowhere and killed everyone without any discrimination. The casualty toll was over a thousand in less than an hour and it's still growing every second.
Right after she passed another order, she leaned against her chair and let out a long sigh. She looked at her partner, who's also in charge of passing emergency orders.
”What the hell is happening?”
In response, the partner wiped the sweat off her forehead and replied:
”I don't know… he uses high leveled Blood Magic, maybe a vampire?”
”No… why would a vampire attack us?”
She was about to continue only for alarm to start going on and off again, causing her to slightly tremble.
”Invader has broken through to the Core Factory! Airship KX-08 Down! Antimatter barrier Num.608 Down!”
****
Core Factory, entrance
”We had to use our precious concentrated Dimensional stone for ONE person?”
A tall male player wearing light golden armor complained, not happy that he was urgently summoned.
Next to him were two women, both wearing robes and seemed to be mages. Unfortunately, they didn't get to say anything as a fast figure came running, stopping a couple of meters away.
It was none other than the invader, who looked no different than a human. He had long scarlet hair, snow-white skin, and two blood-red pupils.
The male player, who was very high-leveled, even stronger than Maxine, appraised the man but got confusing results.
”Hm?”
He frowned and read the notification again, ascertaining that he wasn't mistaking.
”Arthur Bilgart? Isn't that the parasite in the Red Tower?”
Like him, Melinda and Syra were startled and chose not to recklessly attack. They couldn't see the Level of their target and what made them even more surprising was his race
”Ascended Royal Vampire / Half-parasite?”
Eric, the male player was really shocked as such a race wasn't recorded in their system, the name was too strange. There exist Royal vampires but Ascended and half-parasite are totally new, especially the latter, which isn't logically possible. One cannot be half-parasite, even through evolution.
”Get out of the way.”
The vampire wore luxurious noble clothes that looked clean and unscathed despite his fights for the last hour or so. He didn't seem to be bothered by Eric and the other two as he started walking towards them, his eyes pulsating with a scarlet light.
”What are you?”
Eric took out his bow and pointed at the incoming enemy, ready to shoot, however, his body was suddenly hit by an unstoppable force, sending him crashing into the wall. He was knocked unconscious due to the powerful blow, as for the two female mages, they dropped their staffs and clutched their throats, unable to breathe due to a bloody fog emitting from Arthur.
The vampire didn't even glance at them as he entered the factory and started wrecking everything in the search of something specific.
