I Became The Vampire Progenitor
Chapter 71: The First Battle

Emi Beal

Title: Blasphemer (Deals +30% damage to priests)

Age: 67

Level: 14 (Injured state, currently at Level 12)

Class: Shadow Priest

Introduction: A betrayer of the Knight God, a blasphemer walking in shadows, and the Vice President of the Dark Pact.

Li De’s eyes narrowed.

He never expected that among the group of people they had randomly captured, there would be such a big fish.

Level 14, and with an extremely domineering and terrifying title—Blasphemer.

This was a world ruled by gods. Anything related to gods came with great power and couldn’t be easily provoked.

Yet here before him stood a boss figure with the title of Blasphemer, and every part of his introduction grew more exaggerated than the last.

Li De felt like he was on a roller coaster of emotions.

He originally thought that the person secretly manipulating the humans would be a strong individual, but the information he uncovered pointed to nothing more than a Level 3 Rogue.

He assumed that the Level 3 Rogue was the final boss, but now this Blasphemer appeared.

Li De now felt the urge to go out and buy a lottery ticket. Randomly capturing a group of refugees turned up someone of this caliber. If he went out twice more, could he even bring back a Dragon?

If this Blasphemer were at full strength, he could walk all over Green City.

Fortunately, the man was severely injured, his strength reduced to Level 12. For now, Li De could just about handle him.

"Esteemed sir, I bear no ill will towards the respected Saintlight Vampires."

Emi stood up, his expression completely different from when facing Porter, wearing an innocuous smile.

A flicker of coldness passed through Li De's eyes.

No ill will?

After seeing Emi, how could he not realize that this man was the true mastermind? How could a mere Level 3 Rogue have the courage to face powerful vampires?

Only with this boss backing them up would they dare to plot rebellion!

"Sir, I sense your sincerity. I hope you’ll share a drink with me to clear up any misunderstandings."

Li De gave a faint smile.

Emi nodded, smiling broadly, "I hold the highest respect for the Saintlight Vampires. I am willing to become your friend."

After saying this, Emi took a few steps forward.

Just as the atmosphere inside seemed harmonious, a scorching fireball erupted from Li De’s hand~

At the same moment, Emi’s figure vanished from his spot.

Bang~ Fire splattered everywhere.

The instant Emi disappeared, a massive explosion echoed through the room, leaving several craters in the floor and sending waves of heat rushing forth.

Seeing Emi vanish, Li De’s expression changed. Ignoring the few people inside, he rushed out of the room.

He knew clearly that someone bearing the title of Blasphemer wouldn’t surrender so easily.

There was no chance of peace from the moment they met. He absolutely wouldn’t let anyone who knew about Dawn City leave alive.

This Blasphemer must die.

No matter who he is!

Tier 2 Spell: Shadow Step, temporarily traverses the shadow plane, allowing teleportation up to 50 Blades.

After jumping through the shadow plane, Emi appeared downstairs. Watching the explosion and flames erupting from the two-story building, a streak of crimson blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

His old wound made his steps falter.

From the moment he saw this vampire, he knew there was no chance of a peaceful resolution today.

Having walked in the shadows, he understood the nature of dark creatures well. Vampires were famously formidable and proud.

Moreover, if their roles were reversed, he too wouldn’t let an enemy who disturbed his lair escape.

However, what relieved him was that although this vampire was powerful, he wasn’t overwhelmingly so.

Even though his strength had greatly diminished, he was still an advanced class user who had touched the threshold of Level 15. He wasn’t afraid of his opponent.

As a walker in the shadows, Emi specialized entirely in shadow spells. Given time, he believed he could escape from this city.

Previously, he was unwilling to pay a heavy price to escape, but now he couldn’t afford to think about that. If caught by the vampire, he would surely die.

As for fighting the vampire, he wasn’t foolish enough to believe he could fare well against him in his own lair, especially at night in his current state.

Whoosh~

Li De spread his massive bat wings. Under the cold moonlight, he looked like a demon descending into the mortal world.

Sniffing the air, he caught a whiff of blood.

His sharp gaze locked onto the shadow of a nearby house.

Flapping his wings, he soared into the sky.

If a Level 14 Blasphemer escaped from Dawn City, he couldn’t imagine the consequences.

Whatever the cost, he had to capture him.

"Harrison, alert everyone to seal off Dawn City."

The cold voice echoed in the air. Before Harrison could react, Li De’s figure had already vanished from sight.

Following the faint scent of blood, Li De’s speed suddenly increased.

He had caught the scent of his prey.

In the darkness, vampires were one of the most powerful upper-tier races. Even against dragons, they dared to fight.

Hidden in the shadows, Emi felt a chill run down his spine as Li De dove down.

Mana surged into the solidified magic model in his mental sea. In just three seconds, a massive ball of lightning shot out from his hand.

Tier 2 Spell — Thunder Explosion.

The ball of lightning, larger than a basketball, radiated a searing bluish-green glow, its violent energy on the verge of exploding.

Zzzt~

Li De’s diving figure abruptly halted. Even with a vampire’s high magic resistance, taking a direct hit from a Tier 2 spell was no small feat.

Emi rejoiced inwardly at the reckless approach of this vampire. With only thirty blades between them, the Thunder Explosion needed just 0.5 seconds to hit him.

It was over for the other guy!

But to Emi’s disbelief, in that short span of 0.5 seconds, two scorching fireballs appeared in the vampire’s hands behind him.

Boom~

The fireballs exploded, and the Thunder Explosion detonated upon being struck by them.

Zzzt~ The surrounding houses were directly knocked down by the fierce shockwave and burning air, igniting into flames.

"How is this possible!!"

Emi’s eyes nearly bulged out. Casting spells twice in an instant?!

What kind of joke was this?!

Not daring to linger, he suppressed his inner shock and bolted up, using the shadows to flee while casting a Magic Shield on himself.

Although Li De possessed the memories of a Vampire Progenitor, this was his first battle, so his experience was somewhat lacking, causing him to recklessly close in on his opponent.

Mage battles should involve keeping distance and using spells to overwhelm the enemy, not charging headfirst like a warrior right under the enemy’s nose.

But without suffering any setbacks, Li De chased after him fearlessly.

He didn’t flinch.

He could sense that the other party was heavily injured. If he didn’t eliminate this Blasphemer, the consequences would be dire.

Emi, watching Li De charge again, wanted to curse out loud. Where did this brute come from? Was this how mages fought?

This guy was insane!

Emi began to quickly escape using the shadows. He had a highly suitable talent for fleeing.

Shadow Walker: Increases recovery speed by 100% and movement speed by 30% while in shadows.

Dawn City had many buildings, providing plenty of shadows.

Watching Emi about to disappear again, Li De’s eyes narrowed slightly, keenly noticing the change in terrain.

Unbeknownst to Emi, who was fleeing below, in just two short minutes, he was about to leave the area where humans currently resided.

The Southern District could house tens of thousands of people, but currently, less than a fifth of it was inhabited by humans, leaving vast empty areas.

Li De held back in the human-populated zones since these humans were his private property. But once in the empty areas, all restraints disappeared.

Rising sharply to a height of 100 Blades, he looked down at Emi, who had just disappeared below.

With a wave of his hands, mana surged wildly into the magic model of Small Fireball.

True Gatling Fireball activated.
