778: Chapter 778 A Mere Vampire
The strength of a Baron Vampire was indeed much greater than that of an ordinary vampire.
However, it was still somewhat lacking when facing Peter.
Peter's Spider-Sense was like a cheat code; he precisely dodged most of the Baron Vampire's attacks. The opponent's attacks were delicate but essentially unorthodox; compared to Peter, who relied on raw power, the vampire was naturally far inferior in combat techniques.
However, his strength was immense, his physical toughness was high, his self-healing ability was not weak, and his movements were agile.
It was truly a bit difficult for the Baron Vampire to even touch Peter.
Bang!
Peter dodged the opponent's attack once more, having roughly gauged their power level, and suddenly delivered a heavy kick to the Baron Vampire's stomach.
Whoosh-bang!
The Baron Vampire was sent flying backwards, smashing through several tables before slamming heavily onto the ground.
"Blegh!" The Baron Vampire spat out a mouthful, clutching his convulsing stomach as cold sweat poured down. His already pale face turned even more ghastly as he forced himself to stand up despite the pain.
"Eh?" Peter looked at the Baron Vampire standing up, somewhat surprised. He had used thirty percent of his strength, yet the opponent had actually endured it! He hadn't lost his ability to fight.
Moreover, with that punch just now, he had clearly heard the sound of the opponent's internal organs shattering.
The opponent had spat out fragments of internal organs when he vomited, but looking at his face now, it was starting to improve.
A vampire's self-healing ability! Peter realized instantly.
What a great sandbag! So durable! Peter thought to himself as he saw the Baron Vampire charging at him once again.
This time, Peter intended to use a bit more strength.
With a whoosh, the Baron Vampire turned into an afterimage and rushed toward Peter again.
The opponent's figure was clearly reflected in Peter's eyes.
Bang! Peter reached out and caught the Baron Vampire's incoming punch.
!!! The Baron Vampire looked at this scene in shock.
Peter gave it a twist to the side.
"Ah!" The Baron Vampire couldn't help but cry out in pain, his body twisting along with Peter's movement.
Then he fell to one knee and finally ended up flat on the ground, that hand looking as if it had been twisted off.
"Ah! Ah!!!" The Baron Vampire screamed in agony. Peter didn't let go, continuing to grip and twist the opponent's hand.
He looked up at the Viscount Vampire. "Your subordinate is in my hands now."
"Heh, hehe, hehehahaha!" Instead of getting angry, the Viscount Vampire laughed out loud upon hearing Peter's words.
"What nonsense are you talking! Do you think a mere Baron can compare to me?" The Viscount Vampire laughed at Peter's ignorance. "Besides, your subordinate is in your hands? So what?"
With that, the Viscount Vampire suddenly charged at Peter.
His speed was several times faster than the Baron Vampire's.
Peter was caught off guard; his Spider-Sense triggered instantly, and he subconsciously put his hands in front of him.
Bang! Peter was sent flying, slamming heavily into a thick pillar.
"Holy shit! My back!" Peter felt a sharp pain in his back; that impact was no joke.
However, Peter moved around a bit and felt the pain subside.
"What about now?" the Viscount Vampire sneered at Peter.
The Baron Vampire on the ground scrambled up and retreated repeatedly. His twisted arm was reset with the help of someone nearby, and then it quickly healed thanks to his powerful recovery ability.
"Holy shit!" Peter cursed. He glanced at Gwen; that moment had made him lose face, but the look in Gwen's eyes was one of worry and heartache.
This caused Peter's gaze to instantly become serious.
No more playing around; I need to deal with these vampires quickly!
Clarissa said from the side, "I've seen enough. Peter's strength... Gwen, look, this is Peter's life—full of danger and enemies.
The enemies he faces in the future will surely become stronger and stronger."
"I will stand by his side! I won't let him fight alone!" Gwen said seriously to Clarissa. When she saw Peter being knocked back just now, her first reaction was heartache.
She didn't dare to imagine the days in the past when Peter encountered enemies all by himself, facing these... moments of loneliness and helplessness...
And when he returned, he had to act as if nothing had happened because he didn't want her to worry...
Clarissa glanced at Gwen. Although she didn't know why the other girl had suddenly become so emotional, she still said, "Then you'll have to put in even more effort so that you can stand by his side as an asset rather than a burden."
"Tony, and you too, Lorna," Clarissa said to the other two.
"I will!" Lorna nodded seriously. This was a fight for her future happy life!
"Absolutely!" Tony said as if it were a matter of course.
He, Tony Stark, would never be inferior to anyone in his life!
"Tony, besides your subsequent cultivation, you also need to research the issue of how to suit up, if you intend to develop that fragile mecha of yours~" Clarissa said to Tony.
"...Hey! My mecha isn't fragile! It's just that I haven't upgraded it yet! It can be infinitely upgraded and replaced by me! It will only get better!" Tony flushed and immediately retorted, "I'll research the portable function right away! It won't take long!"
Tony swore in his heart that after returning this time, he would research relentlessly... Looking at it, the workload wasn't small!
Anti-Lorna, Anti-Peter, portable suiting, and anti-vampire.
"By the way, Clarissa, what are vampires afraid of? Is it like the legends? Afraid of silver and sunlight?" Tony asked Clarissa.
"They aren't afraid of silver, but they are afraid of sunlight—specifically, ultraviolet rays," Clarissa told Tony. "Also Werewolf venom, decapitation, and piercing the heart. The former is because werewolves and vampires have always been 'natural enemies'; contact between the two is highly poisonous to a vampire, preventing self-healing and leading to death.
Decapitation and piercing the heart, on the other hand, can cause complete death. Even if they don't die, they will suffer severe trauma, fall into a coma, or lose their abilities. Next is prolonged blood deprivation, which causes all abilities to drop significantly, leading to weakness or even hibernation. Oh right, there's also fire and high temperatures; while they can't kill instantly, severe burns are difficult to heal and can suppress their movements.
As for silver products, they are effective against werewolves."
"I see!" Tony understood immediately. In that case, there was no need to prepare things like a 'Garlic Mecha' or 'Crosses.' Instead, he could research UV weapons and Silver bullets—those were easy to solve. Next was high temperatures, which could deal with both vampires and Peter's Webbing!
"That's about enough; let's end it here for today! It's also to broaden your horizons and reshape your worldview," Clarissa said to the group. The Viscount Vampire and Peter were currently locked in a fierce battle.
During the fight, Peter also heard Clarissa's words and immediately understood the vampires' weaknesses.
"Just who are you!?" The Viscount Vampire was startled to hear Clarissa speak so familiarly about vampires. That incredibly beautiful person wasn't an ordinary human either!?
