Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 243: Vampire Lenore



Chapter 243: Vampire Lenore

Luan finally made it to Stage Two of the Twelve Golden Bones Realm. It was hard work. He was now lying on the floor, breathing heavily.

It wasn't easy, but he was doing something amazing. He was not making a simple ordinary body, but a Divine Spiritual Body. Of course, it wouldn't be easy. No wonder his strength jumped straight to 4 dragons. Even now without using his Origin, he was confident in fighting the vampire.

Of course, he didn't intend to fight with her, as she didn't seem to have that intention herself. As long as he could use this cave, he'd stay to himself. After all, he needed such a place to improve his body.

Coming out of the cave, he jumped into the icy lake, but for a cultivator it was bearable. When he came out of the water, he made his body emit heat and began to dry off.

The Silverfang Walruses were still wary of Luan, but they let their guard down a little. Luan didn't care. He was about to go back to the cave since he now wanted to raise his Qi. He still hadn't used the pills he bought. The ones for the body he used pretty much everything, so later he would have to go buy more, but luckily he had a fair amount of Credits these days. He could definitely buy a lot of things to increase his cultivation a little more.

Before starting to cultivate, Luan took something out of the Storage Ring and started eating. The Storage Ring space preservation was able to preserve items for a few months, as it was not very high level.

'Thinking about it, instead of finding materials to make a better Storage Ring, I should just buy one at the store...' Luan made a mental note not to forget.

Returning to Cabin 5, Luan did the same five spells again.

'She's still cultivating.' Luan remembered the vampire neighbor who was in the first cabin. If she had left, he would have felt it, even if she hid it, as his senses were special. Of course, there were limits to everything. If she had a special medium, like the spells that were cast, it would be a whole different story.

'If it were at least the Sixth Order...' Of course, he knew there was no 'self', but he could get everything he lost and more. This time, he prevented his family from being murdered and his grandfather was strong enough to live for many years. Now, he just needed to cultivate and stay strong, but he also had to create a solid base. A poorly made base, after all, would be easily destroyed.

'Nedrayng.' Luan held the pill in his hand. It was made with the dragon's eye as the main ingredient. Only those who practiced dragon techniques would buy something like this, so it was a bit rare and expensive, as well as being very rich in Yin, as most of the ingredients used were made up of Yin energy.

The pill was the size of a human eye and was white and pure as snow. It was also cold, expelling a cold sensation. Luan mentally prepared himself, becoming stable in soul and spirit, and swallowed the pill.

The coldness in Luan's eyes intensified, and his murderous intent spread. The spells were nearly broken. Luan controlled his senses and returned to his former indifferent state, however, the coldness was still there, rooted in his veins. Dragons were by nature cold and cruel creatures. Practicing a dragon technique, if one didn't have a strong enough willpower, one would be swallowed by the coldness and cruelty of the technique itself.

Luan already knew the risks when he decided to take this path, and the confidence came from the years he'd had experienced. He had already been wrong many times in his cultivation path before, choices that if he had made them differently, everything could have been different. Because of that, he remembered perfectly the process of his evolution until almost reaching the Seventh Order.

However, the base of the cultivation he was building now was more solid than diamond. With the veins connected throughout his body and his Dragon Core, the ease he had in using his Qi was very good; too good. He made the Pill's Qi soon become surrounded by his Negative Qi, and didn't let it take control. It was like it was suddenly surrounded by sand and Luan wouldn't let it move. Right there, the Pill's energy began to consolidate and the creation of one of the nine treasures began.

The first treasure he created was for luck, one might say. He told Ingrid the whole truth and it helped him find peace of mind, thus causing a significant change in his emotions, as well as giving him better control of his emotions. Dragons were not moved by emotions. When he finally managed to share the cross he carried (sharing his secret) he created the first treasure, which was a [Shield].

Although it was a shield, it was something like a cubic lego and he could somehow mold it into his body. At the moment it was something that gave him more defense and stored his Qi.

Each Treasure stored at least the power of one dragon. It showed how amazing it was to already have such power being newly formed. As far as how far it could improve, the limit Luan didn't know yet, but if he had to deduce, he would say he can reach the strength of 2 dragons. That would be awesome if you had all Nine Treasures with the power of 2 dragons. But of course, this was just a deduction, not something realistic. It could be less or more.

'Another.' With a cold stare, but not entirely emotionless, he muttered in his mind as he took another 'Nedrayng' pill and swallowed it.

This time, his control was greater. He already knew how to deal better with the cold Qi Yin that came from the ingredients and the dragon's eye. Though, for a few seconds, he blurted out his murderous intent, but he controlled it fast.

The pain was not the same as the one in the body, but he still felt pain when practicing this technique, especially when some of his organs were affected by the devastating energy that sometimes leaked out unintentionally. Even though he was on top of it, sometimes it was almost unavoidable. But it was still at the bearable level, so he continued.

POV – Vampire Lenore

'He returned.' When I thought he was going to leave, did he just come back after throwing himself in the cold water? Did he have a breakthrough?

I have to leave soon. I need blood with powerful vitality, or else I'll get stuck in this bottleneck...

There is a silver snake with dragon blood if I could get her blood... However, her strength is 10 dragons. It will be difficult by myself alone.

I kept trying to break this bottleneck, but even with the pill it hasn't worked. My body wants something more powerful.

As I try to force through the bottleneck or be lucky enough to have enlightenment, I feel the aura and Qi of the man from before coming out of the cabin. He jumped into the lake again, and I heard the sound of water splashing.

'Has he had another breakthrough? How can it be so fast?!' My disbelief was sizeless after all. Now I could feel the strength of 5 dragons coming from him, and before it was just 3 dragons.

'This boy is a genius!' Even in my Clan, I was being treated like a genius, but I was far from it. Doesn't he have bottlenecks?

This time he seems to want to leave. A crazy idea crossed my mind. 'If he helps me, we would be able to kill the snake with dragon's blood...' But I, the vampire princess, asking someone for help?

I balk in my mind. In part, I didn't want his help, but I admitted that now that he had dragon strength and that Origin, we might have a chance to kill the silver snake with dragon blood.

The problem is trusting someone like that. Most are treacherous. If I'm careless, I'll end up getting killed by him before I even know how I died.

My family will probably seek revenge, but does that help me? I don't want to die to be avenged. This is nonsense. I want to live; I want to reach the Seventh Order level, the level that not even another vampire has reached, and then...

"Sigh~" Yes, I know I dream too high... but only if I could get that strength, I won't need to see my planet destroyed!

Did he stop and stand in front of the cave? What does he intend to do? He's not going to start killing the Silver Fang Walruses, is he? If so, I'll fight him to the death!

But I thought too much… Was he just playing with one of them? This man is weird….

Putting on my veil, I left too. He looked at me with those red eyes… He is more bloodthirsty than my vampire race. What the hell is he?

"Say it." He took me by surprise by speaking in his indifferent voice and looking at me blankly.

I looked at him for a few more seconds and said, "I want to kill a silver snake with dragon's blood, but I can't do it alone. I just need the blood, the rest is yours, how about that?' Even if the blood is valuable, the rest of a snake with dragon blood is also equally valuable, if not more, yes?

"What level of power?" He still remained indifferent and cold. He is really weird.

I answered with even more coldness and indifference, "10 dragons. If we attack together, we have a chance." I also recognized the equipment he uses; it should give at least 10 dragons defense.

"If you sign this, I'll accept." He took out a contract, to my surprise. I see he doesn't trust me either, but of course, I can't trust him, except I don't have a contract with me. I took the contract, already signed by him, and read it.

'Huh?' In fact, he made the deal on decent terms. If we kill the silver snake with dragon blood, I get the blood and he gets the rest, that's what I wanted. Without thinking twice, I signed.

The contract split into two parts and entered our bodies, thus taking effect.

"Luan," he said indifferently.

"Lenore," I said coldly. Knowing the name might help when we're going to fight the snake.

"Lead the way," he said coldly to me.

"Can you fly?" After all, it would be faster if we could, but not everyone can.

"Yes." I saw clouds appear and he started floating on top of those clouds.

Two Origins?!' I knew he was a genius, but isn't he afraid to show me this? Anyway, I'm not interested, I just want to be able to improve myself.

I spread my bat wings and started to fly. Amazingly, he seemed to be able to keep up with me and looked like he could go even faster than me. This was unacceptable, but there's nothing I could do. Maybe if I manage to break my bottleneck?

I stopped these thoughts when I felt the mighty blood of the silver snake with dragon blood. He also stopped.
