SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Racking up the kills

[Ding! You have successfully extracted the Ice Orc bloodline.]

[Ding! You have gained the new skill: Frozen Armor (Passive, D-Rank).]

"Oh, hell yes," Damon muttered, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The wind howled around him as he charged towards the next one.

Another orc, this one wielding a massive ice-encrusted greataxe, lunged at him with a roar that rattled the snow-covered ground. Damon grinned, stepping aside with grace. He was a lot faster than the orcs and was easily able to evade their attacks in close combat.

However, getting his attacks through was an entirely different matter. The creatures had thick hides with high physical resistance. He had to pump a lot more mana into his shadow daggers to get his attacks through.

Damon cursed under his breath, his eyes darting for a weak spot. "Thick hide, huh? Let’s see how you like this," he muttered, focusing his mana into a concentrated slash.

His dagger glowed with a deep crimson hue, blood magic mixing with the shadow. The blade sliced through the air with a sharp hiss and slammed into the orc’s exposed neck.

The creature let out a roar of pain, but this time Damon didn’t let go. He twisted the blade and absorbed the blood essence while his shadow clone lunged from the other side to carve through the orc’s back.

A system notification pinged in his vision.

"Dead," Damon hissed, grinning savagely as the beast crumpled, steam rising from its wound. Immediately, another pair of orcs rushed him, their icy axes swinging in deadly arcs. Damon’s grin widened.

He activated Shadowstep, his form blurring as he danced between them like a phantom, his daggers leaving streaks of frost-tinted blood in his wake. "Come on," he taunted, his voice like a whip crack, "is that all you’ve got?"

He was now already used to the extra effort he had to put in and was carving up the orcs quite smoothly. The fight was over just like that, thanks to the insane stat difference between them.

But now there was the problem of mana core formation.

Vampires typically only had a blood core, which they used for all their skills. But his path would be different. He had to think about a dual-core situation with both a blood core and a mana core. Otherwise, he would be wasting a lot of his bloodline potential.

In this chaotic mix, he somehow had to bring in the concept of multi-elemental body to get the maximum from his evolution and his mana core formation.

The second evolution essentially laid the groundwork for forming the blood core, and in theory, his body should also naturally form a groundwork for the mana core just because he can. But was that enough, and was it going to work?

He needed more information. He needed to hit up the higher-ups of the vampire base. Otherwise, his second evolution would end up becoming a disastrously missed opportunity.

By now, the sanctuary nexus for the vampire base should be up and running. Damon decided to go back and use that feature first as soon as he was done here. His status might have been hidden by Blood Reign, but Mark and Kate were still two big shots of the vampire race.

With them around, he should have no problem accessing whatever he needed from the base. He might even get ridiculous discounts when it came to certain things.

A plan began to form in Damon’s mind as he quickly finished off the next two ice orcs. The first was a bloodline extraction failure, while the second netted him a bump in ice elemental resistance.

Damon took what he got without any complaints and continued grinding, grabbing as many orcs as he possibly could.
