Ray calmly opened his eyelids, revealing his eyes glowing with golden energy before it slowly faded away. "That was pretty intense," Ray muttered as he closed and opened his fist before glancing at the golden infinity sigil on the back of his left hand, which pulsed with a golden glow. "I wonder how long I was in that state?" Ray muttered, looking at the system panel. [Remaining time until war begins: 00(D):02(H):07(M):44(S)] "Good lord, I was in that state for almost two days?" Ray exclaimed in awe. There were only three hours left until the war between him and the vampires began. While he was in the state of Epiphany, it had felt like only a couple of hours had passed, but in reality, more than two days had gone by. "Should I go back?" Ray rubbed his chin in thought. Seeing that there were still two hours left, he wasn't in a rush. "Let's see if I can make myself more powerful in these two hours." Ray looked at his inventory and saw that he still had [+2 Random Mart

She pointed her hand in his direction, and as soon as she did, a pure white energy shot from her palm, instantly striking Ray. The energy neutralized the black aura surrounding him, preventing it from disintegrating everything around him. "Negativity, huh?" The green-haired woman, Thea, the same woman Ray had met when he first appeared in Thaerris, sighed as she observed him and the energy he was generating. "He's already knocking on the doors of the laws, huh... This is so soon, so fast, and very impressive... even for him." Then, she shifted her gaze toward the spirits, who were watching Ray with intense attention. "Maybe I should do something to speed up his rise even more… Well then, I should use my Authority to grant him some rewards... I should talk to Ery," she muttered before disappearing from the spot. Back at Ray, he had finally completed his assimilation with the constitution he had just developed. He then turned his attention to the four energies he had create

"Although some noble clans and subordinate clans might send reinforcements, they won't interfere too much. There is also the fact that they are hated by the majority of the vampire community, so most wouldn't take any chances by helping them," Sir Grant explained, rubbing his chin."What about these other noble clans and subordinate clans? Are they as strong as the Five Count Clans?" Maria asked.She and the others had learned a great deal from this plebeian vampire, especially about the vampire society, given that they were the hot topic right now."Well, they are not on the same level if that is what you are asking," Sir Grant continued."The Count Clans are also noble clans, but they are the strongest and most influential. They have a strong connection to the ancient progenitor of vampires, while the other noble clans don't share the same closeness in their bloodline to the progenitor.""However, they are still just as pure-blooded as the Count Clans. The difference is that, compar

"And once I'm finished with this war, all of you, including that pathetic human who dared to challenge me, will know what living hell truly feels like."A heavy silence fell, the kind that comes before a storm.Elfie stood ready, fully prepared to unleash every ounce of her power.She knew the odds.She knew she wouldn't be able to stand against an entire army of vampires.But it didn't matter.She would fight.She would save her brother or die trying.Gina, even though she knew only death awaited her, still held the sword in her shaking hands, her expression filled with fear.On the other hand, the army of plebeian vampires stood ready, waiting for the first strike to take place before the war erupted.Just as it seemed like the battle was about to begin, the [Holy Essence] around Elfie grew stronger, and the features of the noble vampire started to change.Something else also began to happen."W-What is this feeling?" Gina asked nervously.She could feel it in her bones, in her skin

It wasn't like they could do anything to him or his faction.Ray's grip tightened even more, his fingers sinking into Dragusin's flesh.The noble vampire began to choke, blood dripping from his mouth and nostrils.Ray watched him struggle, trying in vain to break free.It was pathetic.The vampire wasn't even able to lift his hands, completely subdued under the sheer weight of Ray's presence.Ignoring his victim, Ray's gaze shifted past him, not to the trembling, lowborn vampires quaking in fear, but beyond them, to the empty land behind.Far in the distance, he could sense them.Reinforcements."I see you've brought some friends," Ray muttered.His grip tightened.Dragusin writhed in agony as Ray's fingers burrowed deeper, his holy flames searing into the vampire's flesh from within.Even with their incredible regeneration, vampires weren't immune to pain.Until an injury healed completely, they would feel everything.And right now, Ray was making sure Dragusin felt every bit of it,
