Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 147: Vampire’s Illusion!

"Do you know how long it took me to modify and create a gene that could make my heartbeat silent?" the old man questioned but without waiting for Lucian's answer, he continued as anxiously said.

"Almost a century! Those glass tanks outside is a testament to my experiments. Even the government funded my research and experiments as soon as they saw the make up. I am destined to be great and nothing is going to stop it." The old man forcefully said with gritted teeth.

It was true. He had met a high ranking officer and had shown him his plans and the outline of it.

He was immediately funded for his research and was provided with everything he needed. If not, he wouldn't even be able to reach anywhere in his research.. Which also explained the massive amount of Void Steel used in protecting the room from scanners and detection equipments.

Lucian just shook his head as he responded with pity in his eyes.

"Blood red eyes, protruding fangs, retractable claws, a silent heartbeat and a fast speed. Those are the traits of a vampire! But only on the outside!" Lucian repeated but his voice suddenly turned into a mocking smile.

The old man froze as he replied with an 'Uhn' sound.

Lucian had read enough novels on earth to figure out the internal and external workings of a vampire and he was perfectly sure that the oldman suddenly obtained an ancient formula which only depicted the external factors of a Vampire and their need for blood.

But it didn't contain the internal factors of a Vampire.

"A true vampire can see in the dark, smell from a far distance and listen to the littlest amount of sound produced a mile away." Lucian explained.

The oldman suddenly lifted his head as he appeared confused. "It should be a simple matter to refine a genetic serum which contains such properties."

Sighing lightly, "If that was all, I am sure there would be countless vampires running rampant." Lucian said.

The old man frowned tightly as he asked, "What else is there?"

"Death." Lucian said only one word.

But the old man's eyes opened wider as he anxiously asked. "What do you mean death?"

Lucian expressionless face suddenly grinned. "To be reborn as a phoenix, you must first be burnt to ashes and from ashes, you shall rise again."

"It's no different from being a vampire. To be reborn as a vampire, you need to first experience death, only then would you naturally awaken as the man of prey!"

The old man's body turned rigid as he heard this, it was as if he had lost his soul as he mumbled the word 'death' over and over again.

Lucian smirked upon seeing this. And in his heart, he was thrilled.

Although the oldman truly didn't turn into a vampire, Lucian could still see the traits and traces of the old man becoming a blood thrall.

Blood thralls are humans who passed through the process of becoming a vampire but failed to truly become a vampire nor even a halfling.

As soon as they taste blood, their rationality would naturally disappear and they would turn into Mutants who only knows how to suck the blood of anything as long as the prey as a heart, beating in its chest.

Lucian carefully and quietly dropped his compart back park as he silently made his preparations.

His hands sizzled as though someone had poured acid on it but from what he had done, it wasn't any different.

Suddenly, Lucian's body moved as his figure turned into a blur. Appearing in front of the wizened old man in a flash.

Clenching his fist, Lucian didn't hesitate to activate celestial might!

(S) Celestial Might: Passively boosts physical strength by 15%, increasing with upgrades. (S Rank) (1000Exp to next) ❱

His heart constricted for a split second, skipping a beat. The muscles in his body also compressed as the contours of his muscles protruded out and his veins trembled in shear strength.

His body shortened by a few inches as though a power had forcefully compressed him.

Currently his body shone in a dark metallic luster as though he was a god war. It was as if he was a lifeform awoken only for the sole purpose of slaughtering his enemies

As though a Greek god statue had awoken. His muscles were fine and sleeck and enviable. (Even I am Jealous.)

Whoosh!

The air split open as the void trembled.

Boom!

Sonic sound was suddenly heard as Lucian's fist seen to have teleport towards the old man.

The old man's dead expression suddenly turned savage as he also punched out.

It turns out that the old man was also half heartedly preparing and also stalling for time.

Although he had been shocked and almost lost all hope with what Lucian had told him, but he was still an old man that had experience various trials and tribulations in his life.

An old monster would definitely remain an old monster no matter the situation.

A bronze coloured fist and a claw collided. It was almost like doomsday on earth.

"Boom!"

After a while, a loud sound emerged. Following which, Lucian's body trembled and his bones gave off creaking noises.

It was as though a metal was being forcefully squeezed.

Meanwhile, the oldman also refused to back off as the grating sounds of bones rattled softly.

"Again!" Lucian suddenly shouted as he punched out like a savage.

The old man's face gad King since turned serious after the first strike. He couldn't believe a kid had enough strength in his body to contend with his.

"I don't believe you can withstand my strength!" the old man shouted as he threw another claw at Lucian.

The Black claw suddenly pierced through the air. But instead of targeting Lucian's fist, he targeted Lucian's heart as he wanted to use his body to defend against Lucian's attack.

He didn't believe that Lucian's attack could break through his defenses and deal a serious injury to him while at the same time, he wanted to use the opportunity to kill Lucian.

This was the experience of an oldman. The insights and experiences an oldman could gain while sitting down is far higher than what a child could see while standing on the height of trees.

The oldman made sure to prove this proverbs.

Lucian's expression changed greatly as his fist suddenly swirved, changing directions as it headed for the ckaw.

But it was inevitable that the old man had found his weakness.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fists and claws collided in a lightning fast manner as the sound of the attacks continued to resound in the sealed room.

"BOOM!"

Suddenly, a figure was blasted backwards like a kite as it passed through the walls of the office, coming out from the other side.

Lucian immediately stood up without delay as turned to face the old man emerging from the human hole he had created.

His face was flushed red as his blood circulation had almost been forcefully interrupted.. Blood flowed lightly from the corners of his lips, as Lucian stared intently at the old man.

Without warning, he launched another attack at the old man. And in just a few seconds, Lucian's body crashed into a Statics Tank.

Fluid and glass spilled everywhere with parts of a human, bones and a head spilled out.

Not minding it, Lucian stood up unsteadily. His chest had two claw marks on it. But only white marks could be seen. The Adamantine Scale which covered his skin protected him but was also peeled off slowly.

And although the claws failed to pierce through his chest, the shockwave affected his internal organs.

The old man's strength just kept on increasing and it seemed celestial might was unable to deal with him any longer and Lucian wasn't sure he could hold onto this state for much longer, he was losing this battle if there was nothing left he could do.

The old man suddenly spoke up. "You should give up now. This is only 30 percent of my current power and I can assure you that it would only get stronger. Offer your blood to me.

I promise not to kill you as you seem to know a lot which I would also like to gain from. All I need is your blood." The old man's voice turned soft but this soft voice was like the siren's call.

Sure enough, the old man had also modified his voice box and his eyes as it seemed to want to pull Lucian into an illusion to give up.

Lucian immediately snorted and the atmosphere was instantly and completely broken. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"What nonsense illusion was that."

If you want to give him an illusion that would make him fall for it, at least put a damn TV and a bed in the illusion and see whether he wouldn't willingly stay there for you.

Lucian couldn't help but think the old man was stupid. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to see the extent of his ability and also earn stat points in the process, he could have easily killed this old man.

Moreover, this place could hide from any spying eye. He could reveal as much as he wanted.
