141 Demon Hunt, Vampire
Boreas's body slowly shrank, and the color of his skin gradually faded. After just a few seconds, his clothes seemed to be unfitting and became one size larger. In fact, he became as skinny as a stick.
This mummy-like appearance is the original appearance of a high-level vampire.
However, the current Boreas should not be underestimated. High-level vampires in this form are the most dangerous and deadly.
The species "high-level vampires" have some characteristics that are not found in "low-level" vampires, so they are often called "high-level" vampires.
For example, they have various strange abilities, such as being able to resist sunlight, transform into human form, or telepathically.
High-level vampires not only resemble humans in appearance, but also have similar intelligence and behavior.
This means that they do not hide in the wild forests or shadows, but like to live in cities and live a life no different from humans. Although they like to drink blood, it is not necessary for survival.
Some high-level vampires have completely stopped drinking human blood and will not harm anyone, but these are a minority after all, and most of the others still succumb to their inner desires.
They are surprisingly powerful, and each type has different abilities.
Once they return to their original appearance, they begin to unleash their terrifying power.
They also have different personalities, desires, and motivations, and they don't just hunt their prey to quench their thirst for blood.
They can hide their true identity and live in human society for several years without being discovered.
They are very long-lived and have extremely strong self-healing capabilities. They will not die even if their heads are cut off, but it takes a very long time to repair a severely damaged body.
This is a high-level vampire, a creature superior to all races in the world.
In the novel "The Witcher", the protagonist Geralt's best friend Dandelion once asked Geralt about the combat capabilities of high-level vampires. Geralt's answer was:
"I hope I never have to fight with it."
If possible, it is the best choice to avoid fighting with high-level vampires as much as possible. If there was no main mission of getting a thousand cuts, Li Nuo would definitely run away with his pants up and would never fight a vampire.
But since the task of this script is closely related to vampires, the opportunity now is very rare.
A vampire with a broken arm is simply the perfect experimental material. As a high-level vampire, Boreas is certainly very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he is still disabled.
What's more, it's just transformation, who can't do it?
Li Nuo instantly activated his [Inner Potential] and used the erupting blood mist to tell Boreas on the opposite side that I would also transform, and I could transform twice more!
The two sides rushed towards each other, Li Nuo brought up blood mist, and Boreas left an afterimage.
The moment the flaming whip blade intertwined with the sharp claws, sparks burst out.
Boreas' power at this time was completely different from before. Every time the whip blade met its sharp claws, Li Nuo could feel the force that penetrated the tiger's mouth.
Fighting head-on is definitely not the answer. The vampire's strength is astonishing. Fortunately, Li Nuo's melee combat has reached level three. In this state, not only does his bare-handed combat effectiveness increase, but his ability to use weapons has also been strengthened accordingly.
Since there is no advantage in strength and speed, let's win with skill.
Li Nuo constantly switched between the two modes of whip blade and cane sword, using the unpredictable length of the weapon to maintain a subtle distance between him and Boreas.
Suddenly, Boreas' figure flashed, and it accelerated its speed. Before Li Nuo had time to react, he got close to only half a meter in front of him, and raised his arm to sweep towards Li Nuo's face.
"Oops……"
Li Nuo immediately retreated and dodged, saving his face by a hair, but he only heard a crisp sound, and a thin diagonal line appeared from the middle of the mask. With two bangs, the iron mask cracked and fell to the ground, on the bridge of Li Nuo's nose.
There was also a bloodstain.
Boreas was stunned. It saw Li Nuo's eyes. These golden eyes as sharp as snakes had brought it a lifetime of experiences that it no longer wanted to recall.
"impossible……"
It looked slightly panicked and shook its head like a mummy.
"These eyes...are you a witcher?"
"You don't care what I am!"
Li Nuo shouted as he swung the whip blade. He didn't want to use [Remnant Health] unless it was absolutely necessary, but the prerequisite was to resolve the battle within 100 seconds, and there was no room for unnecessary and useless dialogue.
Boreas jumped back suddenly and suddenly disappeared from Li Nuo's sight before his feet landed.
Li Nuo secretly said that different high-level vampires have different mysterious powers.
Looking at it this way, Boreas's corresponding ability is probably invisibility.
"You really have the ability to go to the women's bathhouse..."
Li Nuo whispered in a low voice, and his spirit immediately became tense. His eyes did not leave the ground in front of him for a moment, and he saw the slightly raised dust, which was as fast as a gust of wind in the corridor. In less than two seconds, he suddenly felt an awkward sound behind him.
Feel.
Behind you!
As long as it is not too much stronger than him, Li Nuo's high insight can predict the existence of danger.
He immediately turned around and retreated quickly while slashing the whip blade horizontally.
Just hearing the sound of flesh cracking, Boreas appeared, and a black wound appeared on his arm.
Boreas looked ferocious, clenched his fists tightly, and branch-like veins protruded on his skinny forearms.
"Who the hell are you!"
"The Witcher no longer exists! Put away your damn disgusting eyes!"
It began to become hysterical. A hundred years ago, when it knew that the demon hunter had disappeared, its heart that had been carrying it for hundreds of years finally dropped. However, it could not have expected that today, the peace in its heart would be completely broken.
Among high-level vampires, powerful vampires can control their desire for blood, but Boreas cannot control his desire. He is a weakling in the group, otherwise he would never come to a place like this to raise humans.
Hundreds of years ago, even witchers who did not want to come into contact with vampires would not let the weak vampires like Boreas go, because their desire for blood had no limit and was easier to deal with.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
Li Nuo's face was grim, and red spots began to appear on his body.
There are still 25 seconds left, but he has set a time limit for himself. If he cannot solve the problem within 15 seconds, he must activate [Residual Blood].
Li Nuo took a step, then staggered his feet, kicked the ground hard with his back foot, and was almost in front of Boreas in an instant.
The increase in Li Nuo's speed was unexpected by Boreas. He had no time to react and had to subconsciously wave his claws. Li Nuo suddenly bent down and shook his wrist. The whip blade caught Boreas' half of his swung arm.
A dazzling flame instantly ignited on his arm, and the scorching heat made Boreas howl.
It was during this gap that Li Nuo passed through its side, and the whip blade wrapped around its neck one after another.
Then Li Nuo pulled hard, and the thin and sharp blades on the whip slowly cut into Beleas's flesh. The high-temperature flames began to spread, burning his upper body.
Boreas was already an animal waiting to be slaughtered. Li Nuo pulled the whip blade with all his strength and finally cut off its arms and head with only 10 seconds left in the countdown.
At this moment, Li Nuo immediately took out the last piece of bread left in his backpack, held it in his mouth and opened [Residual Blood Man], immediately took a few bites of bread, and successfully turned off all the items without consuming the upper limit of energy.
Skill.
Vampires will not die easily even if their bodies are separated.
But Boreas's head was burning, and no powerful life force could withstand the destruction caused by the flames.
"You will...regret..."
These were Boreas's last words, and they can be regarded as his last words.
Li Nuo sat cross-legged next to its head and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that it was burned beyond recognition.
"It's over..."
