Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

Noah and Iris charged towards the darkness, as the presence of the creature within grew larger!

As they rushed through this cave section, more and more Goblins emerged, although they were just the small Goblins, which Iris and Noah defeated by slashing off their necks and draining their Blood, managing to gather a large amount of Blood for this upcoming battle.

As if this entity was awaiting them, it remained still within a large cave.

"I wonder why there are stronger Monsters in here than what is supposed to spawn… It is quite puzzling…" said Iris.

"I wonder the same thing. However, I imagine that we might because of this…" said Noah.

"Us?" asked Iris in surprise.

"Hm… More like just me. Or well, what's inside of my chest, the Blood Core of the Blood Progenitor," said Noah.

"E-Eh?" asked Iris.

"So you even figured that out… Indeed, this is because of the strong core that you have fused into your body, Noah. An SSS-Rank Core of a Monster is a precious source of energy, even if you cannot perceive it, the essence it exudes makes the Dungeons capable of spawning more Monsters! This might also be some kind of authority, as I remember that more Monsters that aided me would appear in the battle where I was killed whenever I willed it… Perhaps you might one day learn to master this ability," said the Blood Progenitor, revealing to Noah the actual truth.

"Is that so? Iris, the Blood Progenitor had just confirmed it… It is indeed my fault, I suppose. Although it is not like it is a bad thing at all… The stronger the monsters, the better for us," said Noah, slashing away the head of a Goblin that charged against him.

"W-Well, as long as they are not out of our league, I suppose it's fine…!" said Iris nervously, as she slashed a Goblin, making it drop into the ground in pain, groaning due to her poison's effect on its flesh.

"Grryaarrr…!"

"Grroooaarrr…!"

"Grrryyhhh…!"

As the pair of nocturnal vampires ran through the darkness of the cave, Goblins and more Goblins emerged, like an endless army of creatures from hell itself, it seemed that Goblin Warriors had now become rare.

Noah and Iris employed their claws, slicing them creatures apart or draining their blood as much as they could while they did not die yet, it was truly a blood fest!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Iris and Noah then came to a large section within the cave, where a large army of Goblins waited for them, alongside two Goblin Mages and three Goblin Warriors!

And behind them, a large figure sat down, glaring at them with its bright crimson eyes, gleaming eerily within the darkness…

"I-It's huge!" said Iris. action

"Around… three meters? That's… A Goblin Champion…" said Noah, recalling some of the monster encyclopedia pages he read, there was a large section solely for Goblins, who had many variants, some more dangerous than others.

Although it was not as strong as the Goblin King, the Goblin Champion would not pale in comparison, being right below it in the strength hierarchy, it was a powerful F-Rank Monster almost at the peak of such strength, where the Goblin King already passed to be E-Rank!

"Goblin… Champion?!" asked Iris in surprise.

Noah glanced at the monster's crimson eyes, as it seemed oddly calm.

"He seems to not see us as a complete threat yet… If he's sitting there, he might also be quite prideful… Excepted of a 'Champion'…" said Noah.

"They're coming!" said Iris, gnashing her teeth as her crimson eyes gleamed with voracity.

A large army of over a dozen Goblins armed with shields and weapons, three Goblin Warriors, and two Goblin Mages rushed towards them!

"GRRAAA!"

The three Goblin Warriors roared, as their bodies were engulfed in a red aura, this was the same enhancement-type Skill that the Goblin Warrior that wielded two axes possessed!

"Gyahahaha!"

The two Goblin Mages did not move from their position, unlike the rest, keeping a distance while being surrendered by several small Goblins wielding bows.

The Goblin Mages did not waste any more seconds, as they conjured a large fireball each, launching them towards Noah and Iris!

Iris and Noah leaped out of their original positions, baring their claws, and jumping over the large group of Goblins, slicing them into pieces one after another while bathing into their blood for nourishment!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Boom! Boom!

The two fireballs exploded where they originally were, but instead of raging in frustration, the Goblin Mages simply began to conjure more magic straight away!

"Grrryaaaa…!

"Grreeehh…!"

The Smaller Goblins were not a threat at all for them at this point, as they had grown experienced to their patterns and easy to abuse movements, even Iris was now easily slicing off their heads and bathing in their blood, strengthening herself even more.

"GRROOOOOH!"

The three Goblin Warriors finally closed into the pair, as two of them targeted Iris, who they deemed as the weakest, while another wielding a long and thin blade charged towards Noah!

The long blade-wielding Goblin Warrior was oddly fast compared to the others, and it even had a slimmer complexion, with a cheeky smile and a very long nose.

"This speed and precision… This is not a Goblin Warrior… Could it be a Goblin Fencer?" thought Noah as he gnashed his teeth, the Goblin Fencer managed to reach his body in a matter of seconds, moving at an impressive speed, and unleashing several slashes over his chest!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"Unngh…! Heh, you shouldn't have gotten closer!" said Noah, as he moved his Blood Sphere above his head and forming a Blood Blade, sensing it straight towards the Goblin Fencer!

Flash!

"Grya!"

However, the Goblin Fencer raised its long blade, intercepting the Blood Blade created by Noah and sending it flying away!

Clash!

Noah used the same tactic as before, by distracting the Goblin Warriors and then rushing to their back with his max speed while the Goblins had to put their strength into destroying this long-ranged attack!

Flash!

Noah was already behind the Goblin Fencer, as his claws were about to seep into its neck!

However, the Goblin's Fencer was filled with a red aura, and glared at Noah, following his same speed if not greater!

Twisting its body with an incredible showcase of masterfulness, the Goblin Fencer moved its long blade right towards Noah's torso, impacting the left side of his stomach!

Clash!

"Gyahaha- Eh?"

Before the Goblin could finally celebrate its victory, it quickly realized that Noah's body wasn't sent flying as it believed due to the impact force of its attack.

It was standing right before him.

And from within Noah's wound, an enormous mass of blood emerged, puncturing the Goblin's chest!

But how?!

And when?!

Noah smiled, he was completely insane, using such an opportunity to deal a fatal blow could have only come out of his head and no one else…

"By amplifying… Blood Manipulation into my own fresh blood, it was easy to mold it and use it directly to attack it the moment it opened this large wound into my stomach… Right, Blood Progenitor?" laughed Noah.

"You're… more insane than I imagined!" said the Blood Progenitor, Noah was simply compensating for his lack of experience fighting with his insane ideas that abused the body of a Vampire!

"GRRRYAAAAAAH…!"

The Goblin Fencer cried in agony as it tried to struggle, however, the 'blood tentacle' that punctured its chest was already raining it dry from its own blood, feeding it to Noah directly into his wound!

Noah grasped the long blade, breaking it into pieces with his crimson claws, his wound slowly closed itself, as the dry corpse of the Goblin Fencer turned into black smoke…
