Blood Assimilation

The black-cloaked vampire man's already pale face turned paler as he trembled slightly in Randy's grasp.

At this point, Randy could sense the strange change happening to the aura that he was emitting. The source of this change seemed to stem from somewhere deep within himself, and he immediately frowned at this realization.

He had once experienced this strange phenomenon when he fought and threatened David Silvermoon. But he didn't think much of it as he thought it was because he was very angry at him at the time.

But now things were different from that time, so where did this strange energy of bloodlust come from?

Of course, he was slightly displeased with this vampire, who tried to attack him, but he had it all planned out this time. He was simply trying to verify the truth of the other party's words and that was the reason why he didn't bother to fight them.

Furthermore, helping those in danger was more imperative than fighting that vampire for his revenge.

However, even though he had control over the situation, he still felt angry toward this vampire man when he attacked him for some reason.

After thinking about this, he looked at the black-cloaked vampire man in his grasp, who desperately tried to break free from his grip with despair on his face. However, how could he break free from Randy's grip, especially after he had used the Body Strengthen skill which he focused on his left hand?

Randy had grabbed the black-cloaked vampire man's mouth and his jaws with his left hand; meanwhile, the right hand was encased in a chilling frost blade, which he used to cut off the vampire man's arms to render him helpless.

Looking at the vampire man, Randy decided not to think too much about the change in his aura this time as well. Dealing with the vampire was more crucial than whatever was happening to him just now.

Not to mention that it was harmful to him, and he seemed capable of controlling it to some extent.

With that in mind, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, regaining his composure shortly after. Naturally, the killing intent in his aura also dissipated after he calmed down.

Afterward, he undid his grip on the black-cloaked vampire man's neck before he coldly but curiously asked: "What were you doing here? Who sent you? Are you related to the sudden magical beasts' outbreak in this forest?"

Even though he didn't bother to inquire about the reason why there were so many magical beasts chasing after the group he met, he was still curious about it.

There was no way a group of magical beasts of different kinds would travel together, after all. Therefore, Randy wanted to know whether the appearance of this vampire had something to do with it.

Though he doesn't care about the things that are happening in his current world, since he was affected this time, he needed to know the reason.

After learning the reason, he will be able to decide whether to stay in this place or move elsewhere based on this information.

Meanwhile, the black-cloaked vampire man breathed heavily after he fell to the ground, and a few moments later, he spoke full of hatred.

"As if I will tell you something like that!"

The black-cloaked vampire man was aggrieved because he thought that as long as he didn't use his long-range attack like before, the opponent wouldn't be able to take control of his spell and use it against him.

But he was wrong to make such a ridiculous assumption.

Even though the other party did not control his attack, he was unable to even leave a scratch on them before being subdued helplessly. Thus he ended up in his current pathetic state.

But even so, he would not give in to the demands of his enemy just because he had lost. Furthermore, if his queen was watching him, he has nothing to fear.

He was certain that his queen would intercede for him since they were currently within her territory.

With that in mind, he calmed down and his confidence soared.

However, unbeknownst to him, his queen had abandoned any thoughts regarding getting involved with the human in front of him.

On the other hand, after Randy heard this response from the black-cloaked vampire man, he curtly and coldly declared without hesitation: "Is that so? Then die for real this time?"

"You think you can kill me with your attacks? Have you forgotten that you couldn't kill last time? What makes you think you can succeed this time? As long as a piece of me remains, I can always regenerate from any wound or damage!" The black-cloaked vampire man said with a smug look on his face.

In his estimation, even if he couldn't defeat the other party, he would not be defeated either if he focused on regeneration rather than attacking.

However, to his surprise, after hearing his words, Randy did not react. Instead, he grabbed and lifted him off the ground in the same position as before he let him go.

In the next few moments, a shocking and disturbing scene unfolded with the black-cloaked vampire man's already pale skin turning deadly pale, and his skin began to shrivel shortly after. It was almost as if his blood and vitality were being absorbed from his body. This process carried on until the black-cloaked vampire man's entire body turned into lumps of dried-up meat on skeletal bones.

Blood Siphon Technique!

Within that moment, Randy had executed his newly improved blood manipulation technique, Blood Siphon, which was devised from his enlightenment on Blood Authority skill, and he proceeded to use it on the black-cloaked vampire.

The effect of which stripped the black-cloaked vampire man of every single drop of blood within his body, without leaving a single drop behind, turning him into a dried-up corpse with only his bones and flesh remaining.

This was the only way Randy could think of to deal with someone like him, who depended on blood to survive.

Furthermore, he wanted to see the effects of his newly improved blood manipulation technique after he had broken through to the second stage as an evolved human.

Before, he needed the opponent to have a wound in order for the blood siphoning technique to work. However, now, all he needed to do was be a certain distance away or get in touch with his opponents to drain some or all of their blood into his body.

The ultimate result was shocking even to Randy, as he initially only planned on sucking some of the black-cloaked man's blood to render his regeneration useless before killing him. But to his surprise, he ended up draining all of the black-cloaked vampire man's blood instead.
