Volume 4 Chapter 248

Volume 4 + Chapter 248: The Invincible Herman

Xia Lulu lay on the ground, the blood seeping from her wounds dyeing her long silver hair crimson.

Herman’s blood spear had pierced her dragon-scale armor and successfully wounded her.

It could be said that in the confrontation with Herman, she had already fallen into a disadvantage.

“Silver Dragon Queen, I told you, today is the day of your death.”

Herman summoned his blood spear once more, gripping it in his hand.

“As you are now, you absolutely cannot defeat me. You should have experienced what kind of blessing I now possess, haven’t you?”

“…Ugh.”

Xia Lulu struggled to prop herself up on her arms, desperately trying to regulate her breathing back to a normal rhythm. She lifted her head to look at Herman.

“Your current strength…”

“That’s right! This is the blessing bestowed upon me by the Divine Ancestor, the empowerment of divine authority!”

Herman raised his arms, his earnest gaze no different from that of a devout follower showcasing his faith, fervently praising the Vampire Divine Ancestor.

“It is precisely because of the divine authority empowerment granted to me by the Divine Ancestor that I have stepped into an entirely new realm. I was already a higher-ranked species king. After receiving the divine empowerment, I naturally far surpass this era!”

“You dare to say that.”

“I am merely stating facts, Xia Lulu.”

Herman laughed, brimming with confidence.

Previously, as a higher-ranked species king, he was already powerful enough to overwhelm many monarchs of that time. But compared to the strongest higher-ranked species king, Xia Lulu, there was an undeniable gap, forcing him to avoid direct confrontation.

Now, the positions of Xia Lulu and Herman were completely reversed.

The strongest higher-ranked species king had been trampled beneath his feet, reduced to a wretched state.

Where was the dragon race’s customary arrogance and conceit now?

“Now you should understand, right? Why the Divine Ancestor never regards the Anti-Vampire Alliance as a threat. Ants are always ants, gathering together only makes them easier to crush underfoot.”

Herman’s tone was filled with mockery toward all races.

“Ants gather and think they can topple a giant elephant, utterly foolish. Look at your own actions now, Silver Dragon Queen!”

“Herman, don’t get too cocky. The battle… isn’t over yet. I’m not dead.”

Xia Lulu gritted her teeth, forcing her slightly trembling body back into a combat stance.

“Xia Lulu, what meaning does your action have? Everything you do is nothing but futile effort.”

Suddenly, Herman noticed something.

That was, Xia Lulu looked almost identical to Xia Yi.

If so, would the Divine Ancestor be interested in Xia Lulu, also of the silver dragon race?

He pondered for a moment.

“Silver Dragon Queen, I’ll give you a chance to survive. If you choose to submit now and pledge faith to the Divine Ancestor, then I can spare your life and give you an opportunity to serve the Divine Ancestor, just like your daughter, “

“Ice Sword!”

Xia Lulu had no desire to hear Herman’s speech. Instead, she used chant reduction, conjuring an ice sword from frost-attributed magic, and swiftly thrust it toward Herman’s heart.

“You are seeking your own death.”

Herman raised his hand, seizing the ice sword with lightning speed, forcibly halting it before him. With a crushing grip, he shattered the ice sword.

However, the ice sword attack was merely a feint. The shattered ice sword turned into ice crystals, spreading through the air and clinging to his body. Frost covered him, and the low temperature began to freeze him.

“This is?”

Herman frowned. His legs were being eroded by the extreme cold, temporarily immobilizing him.

Xia Lulu charged toward Herman. She intended to use the dragon race’s physical strength to directly overpower him.

In terms of racial traits, when comparing pure physical power, there is a vast gap between vampires and dragons. Even if vampires enhance themselves with blood magic, they cannot match dragons.

Physical strength is a non-negligible weakness for vampires.

Now that Xia Lulu had frozen Herman, she aimed to exploit this weakness.

“Futile struggle.”

Herman’s expression remained calm, showing not a trace of panic. He didn’t even intend to use blood magic, he merely gripped his blood spear and swung it toward Xia Lulu.

Xia Lulu originally planned to shatter the blood spear and then pierce Herman’s heart.

Yet, an astonishing scene unfolded. Herman, without using blood magic to enhance himself, actually used the blood spear to knock Xia Lulu flying.

In the contest of raw strength, he had gained the upper hand.

BOOM!!

Xia Lulu, sent flying, crashed through a tall tower.

The tower collapsed, and she fell amidst the rubble.

“I told you, this is meaningless behavior. Don’t forget, this is within the Crimson Moon Domain.”

The frost covering Herman’s body evaporated as he burned his own blood.

He brushed off the ice fragments on his attire.

“Within the Crimson Moon Domain, the abilities of anyone continuously illuminated by the crimson moon will continually drain, transferring to me instead, thereby enhancing my own power.”

Upon reaching a certain realm, one can release a domain.

Within different domains, abilities manifest differently. This can be seen as unique rules within the domain, to some extent mimicking divine power.

Though not every powerful individual can unleash a domain, those who can are without exception possessors of the qualifications to vie for the pinnacle.

Before Herman received divine empowerment, his Crimson Moon Domain could only weaken some of Xia Lulu’s abilities, and not necessarily transfer them to himself.

But after receiving divine empowerment, his domain sublimated, undergoing a qualitative transformation.

Coupled with the traits of the blood pool, it could be said, 

“Silver Dragon Queen, within the Crimson Moon Domain, I am now invincible.”

Herman’s tone was as if stating an indisputable fact.

“I have already given you ample opportunity. You, at your peak, have been utterly defeated by me. On this continent, aside from the Divine Ancestor I serve, I am already an invincible existence.”

“What a laughable delusion.”

Xia Lulu rose once more from the rubble.

Despite witnessing Herman’s strength, her eyes still held disdain for him.

In response, Herman initially believed Xia Lulu’s behavior was mere posturing. But then, he clearly heard an abnormal heartbeat rhythm.

The suppression on the Dragon King’s Heart was lifted. The aura radiating from Xia Lulu underwent a complete transformation.

“A frog in a well, a dog barking at the moon. Since you spout such arrogant nonsense, I’ll let you witness my peak period.”
