Chapter 151 Battle with the Vampire General

Chapter 151: Battle with the Vampire General

"We have no choice but to kill you," Ryder said to the man as he sighed.
"Rale, he should be as strong as you, right?" Ryder asked Rale. He wanted to hear Rale's answer.
"That should be the case more or less," Rale replied as he glanced at Vampire General Viden.
"Alright. Take over the fight. The others will back you up," Ryder commanded.
"Yes, Your Highness," Rale nodded his head.
"Why are you listening to the kid?" Vampire General Viden asked Rale. He was surprised to see how respectful Rale was to Ryder.
"It's too late to talk now," Ryder replied as he noticed that Rale had already moved to attack the Vampire General.
The Vampire General was using a blood Red Sword whereas Rale had the sword that he just pulled out of the ice.
Both of their swords collided, which gave birth to a big wind blast from the massive impact.
Ryder's hair fluttered because of the wind.
While the Valley of Wandering Souls was witnessing a battle between the top beings, the outside world was also witnessing something.
The Level Rankings was released for the players and the public, which shocked everyone that watched the rankings.
"How could the level difference be so big? Just who is this Hades? How can he become so strong?"
"He's also in the treasure rankings! He rules the treasure rankings! How can someone have so many treasures?"
"Seriously! This is stupid! How can he be so lucky to get so many treasures? The Rank 2 on the Level Rankings, Lucifer, is not in the treasure ranking, whereas this guy is taking so many spots! The closest to him is Darkness, but even she only has a Silver-Rank Wind Dagger! The difference is so big!"
Almost every player that saw the rankings was shocked. They couldn't understand why the difference was so big! The difference in rank one and rank 2 was so massive, and the treasure ranking was even more incredulous.
Some of the players were even doubting him of cheating.
"Is Hades cheating? He must be! He should be the son of the owner of the Necrosis Corporation!"
"There's no way for someone to get so many unique treasures!"
There were also some voices that opposed the cheating accusations.
"That shouldn't be the case. As far as I know, Necrosis Corporation won't fall down that much! They deal with so many governments; they won't destroy their reputation just to make one guy cheat."
"Yeah, It might be that Hades got some unique chain quest, which is helping him grow. He might just be lucky."
The whole player community was noisy at the moment.
Shu was hunting monsters to increase his level when he got the notification of the Level Ranking being released.
"L-level 47? What the actual fuck!" He couldn't help but curse out loud as he saw the rankings.
He immediately sent a message to Ryder.
In one of the Kingdoms, a girl was also looking at the Rankings.
She couldn't help but smile as she saw Ryder's game name at the top of the Rankings. The girl looked similar to Alice, but she had a different Eye Color and different hair color.
The people that had gone to the Dungeon Exploration with Ryder were all shocked at the Rankings as well. Especially the boys that have argued with Ryder.
The girls that underestimated him also felt terrible for acting up.
Lucifer was the only one that hadn't checked the Level Rankings. He didn't care for the levels and didn't check it.
The only rankings he checked was the Treasure Rankings.
He closed the rankings after looking through it and continued on with what he was doing.
There was another girl in a different place. She was also looking at the treasure rankings.
"How can he have so many treasures?" she muttered as she looked at her own, Silver-Rank danger.
Back in the Valley of Wandering Souls, Rale was fighting the Vampire General.
Both of them had an equal strength on the surface, but their specialties were different. Vampire General Viden and Rale both specialized in different elemental attacks.
Even though their strength was almost equal, Viden looked like he was in difficulty. He was not only facing Rale, but also the long-range attacks of Rale's team.
Ryder had the Bow that was actually the changed form of his Scythe. He was also firing the arrows at the Vampire General constantly.
The Vampire General was extremely annoyed. He wanted to find an opportunity to get free of Rale so that he could finish the others, but Rale was not giving him any chance.
Their battle had changed the landscape of the area. The trees around them were destroyed. Even the ice lake that looks solid had started to melt.
"Get out of my way!" the Vampire General roared as he started using his special bloodline magic.
His body became bulkier, and red veins became visible in his arms. His clothes were torn off at places, especially around his biceps.
This was the blood sacrifice. It was a skill that was exclusive to the Royalty of the Vampire Clan. They could burn half of their blood, but that would give them a massive boost in their strength.
There were also downsides to it, though. The boost only lasted for a short time. And after the boost was ended, the Vampire General would become much weaker.
But Viden was ready for that. He knew that the short moment would be enough for him to kill everyone.
His strength was massively increased. Rale's sword clashed with Viden's sword, but this time, Rale was pushed back 20 steps.
Viden utilized this opportunity, and he chose to attack Ryder.
He noticed that everyone listened to Ryder's command, which meant that he was someone important. He thought that killing Ryder would throw everyone off.
He waved his arm. Another blood arrow appeared out of thin air and advanced towards Ryder, but it was much faster and more powerful.
Ryder reacted fast and changed the moon scythe from a Bow to a shield.
The arrow clashed with Ryder's shield, but couldn't penetrate it. The strength behind that attack and the impact was still more powerful, though. Even though the arrow couldn't break through the defense of his shield, Ryder was still tossed back like a broken kite.
Ryder flew back and crashed on the ground. The impact was just too powerful. He could feel his HP decreasing. Half of his HP was already depleted even though the attack didn't touch him.
"The strength difference is just too much," Ryder muttered as he stood up.
