Chapter v 232: v 232
Battle Against the High Lord
The vampire’s class was likely that of a High Lord .
Its movements were much faster than a Vampire Lord .
In a flash, he was in front of me, his arms swinging . I stepped back and dodged the attack .
While he hadn’t even scratched me, part of my clothes was torn .
The High Lord did not have a weapon . It was his hands that had done it .
He seemed a lot stronger than the last High Lord . Perhaps he was special .
That being said, I didn’t have that much experience fighting against them .
Perhaps it was just because this one was larger than usual .
“Well, I’ll find out once you’re dead and I have seen your stone . ”
“Strong words . But you are rather fast for a human…”
The High Lord smiled with confidence . It would be bad if he suddenly decided to target Shia and the others instead .
I would have to provoke him .
“And you’re pretty fast for a lesser vampire . ”
“Bastard! How dare you suggest that I am a lesser!”
As always, calling a high-ranking vampire a ‘lesser’ was very effective .
Still, I felt that it would not be long before they realized it was a tactic I used a little too often . That would be annoying .
Of course, it meant I had to kill them all without letting them return .
“Well, maybe if you tried a little harder . I don’t think it’s completely out of the realm of possibility for you to become an Arch Vampire one day?”
“You!! I will not forgive this insult!”
The High Lord’s eyes widened as he shrieked .
At the same time, he stepped forward and swung his arms wildly .
When I dodged this attack, he followed up with a Fireball .
I jumped away instead of using a magic barrier .
I wanted to hide the fact I was a Sorcerer for as long as possible .
If he did manage to get away, it would make a big difference if he recognized me as a Warrior instead of a Sorcerer .
“Still…”
The timing for throwing the Fireball had been perfect .
While most Rank Adventurers would have been able to dodge his claws, the Fireball would have been very difficult .

“What? I was just trying to pay you a compliment . ”
I said with a look of disappointment . But he wasn’t listening anymore .
“Who are you, you bastard?”
He must have been confident that his Fireball would hit . He looked confused .
But I didn’t want his confusion to override his anger . And so it would be better to avoid giving him the opportunity .
I swung the Devil King Sword .
“Oh, just your average F-Rank Warrior . ”
“You mock me!”
The High Lord stopped the blade by grabbing it .
Yes, he was strong . This was getting interesting . Of course, this was no time to enjoy the battle .
Shia and the others were fighting too .
I wouldn’t be able to help them if they needed it if I was distracted by this guy .
I had to kill him as quickly as possible and then go and support them .
“You stopped the blade of an F-Ranker like me! How impressive!”

“You will regret this insolence! I won’t let you die easily!”
“I don’t intend on dying easily . ”
I forcefully wrenched sword out of his grip .
The High Lord quickly jumped back and then countered with a swing of his right arm .
At the same time, his left arm unleashed another Fireball . It was quite impressive .
But I rushed forward as if barely taking notice of either attack .
The Fireball went straight into my left palm…and then vanished . Drain Touch .
If you matched the wavelengths of magic perfectly, you could absorb it .
It was very difficult to do, but I had seen Fireballs from High Lords enough times to be able to do it .
His eyes widened . He was at the peak of confusion now .
However, his arms continued to swing at me .
It was a perfect attack . Most people would not survive if they were hit by such an attack .
And I was hit by it . For a split second, the High Lord smiled .
He had believed that he had won .

However, the moment that his sharp nails made contact, there was a loud cracking sound .
Previously, when I had fought a Vampire High Lord alongside Shia, I had learned a skilled called ‘Reactive Barrier . ’
Of course, my version of it was much stronger than anything a High Lord could use .
And so the High Lord’s right arm exploded . Blood, flesh, and bones sprayed in the air like dust .
“Wha…t…”
His mouth was still curled up, as if he had been frozen .
However, his eyes were wide with horror . These mismatched features were a bit comical .
I didn’t waste a second in cutting off his head with the Demon King Sword .
His expression remained as the head rolled on the ground .
Still, I could not relax until his entire body turned into ash . He was a Vampire High Lord, after all .
You couldn’t let a single drop of blood or piece of meat escape .
And so I activated Magic Detection while I cut the body to pieces with the Devil King Sword .
And then I used Drain Touch on the pieces .
