98: Chapter 98: Limbs Severed, But the Dog's Life Spared! Dracula Dropped a Lot of Divine Gear.

Dracula and Inoue Nofuo exchanged glances.

Both saw fear in the other's eyes.

In all their years of living and killing countless powerhouses, they had never encountered such a monster.

He couldn't be killed, couldn't be caught, and his attacks were ridiculously fierce.

How the hell were they supposed to fight this?!

But Lin Feng wouldn't give them time to think.

He moved.

Target—Inoue Nofuo.

Deal with this sneak-attacking dog first!

Inoue Nofuo's pupils constricted as he immediately activated Shadow Step, trying to merge into the shadows!

But Lin Feng's Eye of the Elements was locked onto him firmly!

“Think you can run?”

Lin Feng transformed into a streak of light, catching up to Inoue Nofuo in an instant!

dragon slaying sword, a single slash down!

Inoue Nofuo gritted his teeth and raised his short blade to parry!

Clang!!!

The sound of clashing metal rang out!

The short blade snapped!

The dragon slaying sword’s momentum didn't slow as it slashed into his right shoulder!

Puchi!!!

An arm flew into the air!

Dark red blood gushed out like a fountain!

“Aaaagh—!!!”

Inoue Nofuo let out a shrill, wretched scream!

He clutched the stump of his arm, stumbling backward!

His face was filled with terror and despair!

[Damage Dealt: 22,400, Right Arm Severed]

[Inoue Nofuo has lost his right hand, Combat Power -50%]

Lin Feng remained expressionless.

He pursued and delivered another slash!

Puchi!!!

The left arm flew off too!

“Aaaaaagh—!!!”

Inoue Nofuo's screams echoed throughout the castle!

He collapsed to his knees, both arms gone!

Blood gushed out frantically, staining the floor red!

Standing in the distance, Dracula watched the scene, his face pale.

He didn't step in to help.

Because he knew that even if he did, he couldn't save him.

Lin Feng was too strong.

So strong that even he, a vampire progenitor who had lived for a thousand years, felt despair.

Lin Feng walked up to Inoue Nofuo and looked down at him.

Those eyes were as cold as winter ice.

“Still want to sneak attack?”

Inoue Nofuo looked up, his face covered in blood.

In the way he looked at Lin Feng, there was fear, resentment, and... a plea for mercy?

“Lin... Lin-san... spare me...”

His voice was hoarse and trembling, like a dying dog.

Lin Feng smiled.

It was a very cold smile.

“Spare you?”

“When you were sneak-attacking me, why didn't you think about sparing me?”

He raised his foot and stepped on Inoue Nofuo's left leg.

Crack!!!

The sound of bone shattering!

“Aaaagh—!!!”

Inoue Nofuo screamed again!

His left leg had been crushed!

Lin Feng raised his foot again and stepped on the right leg.

Crack!!!

The right leg broke as well!

Inoue Nofuo had completely become a human torso with no limbs!

He lay on the ground, twitching violently!

Blood pooled all over the floor!

[Status: Near Death, All Limbs Severed]

Lin Feng squatted down and looked at his distorted face.

“Don't worry, I won't kill you.”

“I'm keeping your dog life—”

Inoue Nofuo opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But he could only make “he-he” sounds.

Lin Feng stood up and stopped looking at him.

He turned and looked at Dracula.

“Now, it's your turn.”

Dracula's whole body trembled.

He looked at Lin Feng, and for the first time, despair appeared in those green eyes.

“Little fellow, can we... talk?”

Lin Feng smiled.

“Talk about what?”

“Talk about how you just tried to kill me?”

Dracula fell silent.

He knew that today's battle could not be avoided.

He took a deep breath, and the blood-colored light on his body began to surge frantically!

Since he couldn't avoid it, he would go all out!

He had lived for a thousand years; what storms hadn't he seen!

At worst, they would perish together!

“Blood Feast Finale — Blood Sea Overwhelming!”

Boom!!!

The blood-colored tide erupted again!

It was even more violent than before!

The entire castle was submerged in a sea of blood!

Lin Feng stood in the blood sea, motionless.

Source of Life restored eighty thousand every second!

The blood sea damage was fifty thousand per second!

He could completely tank it!

“Dracula, is this all you've got?”

He gave a cold laugh and raised the dragon slaying sword.

“My turn!”

A single slash down!

Pitch-black Sword Qi split the blood sea, heading straight for Dracula!

Dracula gritted his teeth and formed hand seals!

“Blood Pact · Absolute Defense!”

Buzz—

A blood-colored barrier condensed in front of him!

The barrier was a meter thick, its surface flowing with eerie runes!

Boom!!!

The Sword Qi struck the barrier!

The barrier vibrated violently, and cracks appeared on its surface!

But it didn't break!

[Damage Dealt: 22,400 × 5 = 112,000, Barrier absorbs 50%, Actual Damage: 56,000]

[Barrier Remaining Durability: 2.44 million / 2.5 million]

A look of joy appeared on Dracula's face!

“Blocked it!”

But in the next second, his smile froze.

Because Lin Feng delivered another slash!

Second slash!

Third slash!

Fourth slash!

Fifth slash!

Slash after slash, like a violent storm!

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

The barrier vibrated violently, more and more cracks appearing!

The durability dropped frantically!

2.44 million... 1.88 million... 1.32 million... 760,000... 200,000...

Crack!

It shattered!

The barrier shattered!

Dracula's pupils constricted!

Before he could react, the Sword Qi had already slashed into him!

Puchi!!!

[Damage Dealt: 22,400 × 5 = 112,000]

[Dracula health points: 5.55 million / 14 million]

Dracula was sent flying, crashing into the wall!

He vomited a large amount of blood, his face deathly pale!

But he wasn't dead yet!

He struggled to climb up, madness flashing in his eyes!

“Since you want to die, let's die together!”

He spread his arms and let out a long howl toward the sky!

“Blood Taboo · Progenitor Descent!”

Boom!!!

His body began to swell!

From one point nine meters, it grew to two meters, three meters, five meters...

His skin ruptured, revealing blood-red muscles beneath!

The muscles writhed, growing countless tiny tentacles!

On his back, a pair of giant bat wings unfurled!

Their wingspan exceeded twenty meters!

In his mouth, four fangs grew out!

His eyes turned from green to blood-red!

[Dracula has entered True Ancestor Form]

[All Attributes +100%, Duration 60 seconds]

[Current attack power: 44,000]

[Current Defense: 36,000]

[health points: 11.1 million / 14 million (Restored)]

Lin Feng looked at the five-meter-tall blood monster, his expression still calm.

“True Ancestor Form?”

“That's it?”

He gripped the dragon slaying sword tightly, and the flood dragon phantom on the blade let out a long howl!

“Sword Spirit Possession—Full Release!”

Buzz!!!

Golden light surged from the sword, flowing into Lin Feng's body!

His aura skyrocketed once again!

[Sword Spirit Possession: All Attributes +100%]

[Current spirit: 6,960]

[Current Spell Attack: 34,800]

[Current health points: 8.12 million / 8.12 million]

[Current mana: 6.92 million / 6.92 million]

[Current attack power: 34,800 + 5,000 = 39,800]

Dracula looked at Lin Feng, and for the first time, fear appeared in those blood-red eyes.

“This... how is this possible?!”

“You... what kind of monster are you?!”

Lin Feng smiled.

“Monster?”

“You're the monster.”

“Your whole family are monsters.”

He raised the dragon slaying sword, the golden patterns on the blade glowing to the extreme!

“Sending you on your way!”

A single slash down!

The pitch-black Sword Qi transformed into a giant black dragon!

Baring its fangs and claws, it pounced toward Dracula!

Dracula frantically channeled his blood-colored barrier!

But it was useless!

Wherever the black dragon passed, everything was annihilated!

Barrier, shattered!

Blood tentacles, shattered!

Bat wings, shattered!

Dracula himself was swallowed by the black dragon!

“No—!!!”

He let out one last wretched scream!

And then—

Boom!!!

An explosion!

A massive explosion!

Blinding golden light and blood light erupted simultaneously!

The shockwave spread in all directions!

The entire castle was collapsing!

Lin Feng stood where he was, motionless.

He allowed the shockwave to slam into him.

[Received Explosion Damage: 500,000]

[Source of Life Recovery: 160,000 per second]

[health points: 7.62 million / 8.12 million]

Three seconds later, he was back to full health.

The explosion gradually subsided.

The dust cleared.

Dracula's figure had disappeared.

In his place, only a pile of glittering items remained.

[Killed Dracula · Crimson Earl (legendary grade), experience points +3,000,000]

[spirit: 6,990]

Lin Feng sheathed his sword and walked over to the pile of loot.

Lin Feng looked at these equipment and Materials, his eyes widening.

Red equipment!

Gold Materials!

And even legendary grade Materials!

“I'm rich... I'm really rich...”

He carefully put everything into the wanxiang ring.

Then, he looked around.

The castle was collapsing.

Walls were falling, the dome was crashing down, and the ground was cracking.

But through those cracks, light shone through.

It wasn't blood-colored light; it was normal, soft light.

The Dungeon was returning to its original state.

Lin Feng walked over to Inoue Nofuo.

The Baga Country assassin, who had lost his limbs, still lay on the ground, at his last breath.

He looked at Lin Feng with those despairing eyes.

His lips moved as if he were saying something.

Lin Feng squatted down and leaned in to listen.

“Kill... kill me...”

His voice was as faint as a mosquito's.

Lin Feng smiled.

“I said I'd keep your dog life.”

He picked up Inoue Nofuo like he was carrying a dead dog.

Then, he walked toward the exit.

Behind him, the castle came crashing down.

Dust filled the air.

When Lin Feng stepped out of the ruins, a familiar sight was already before him.

Streets, houses, squares, a church.

The Orléans Instance had returned to its original form.

Those mutated monsters and those eerie buildings had all vanished.

Only ordinary Rank 45 Dungeon monsters roamed in the distance.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and, carrying the limbless little Baga, walked toward the teleportation point.

Sunlight spilled through the clouds, shining on him.

It was warm.

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

“Zhou Tianhao...”

“Wait for me.”
