SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Going on a treasure hunt

Kaelthorn collapsed to his knees, breathing heavily as the haze of rot finally stopped gnawing at his bones. "Th-thank you, my Lord. Forgive my incompetence. I didn’t think..." He coughed violently. "Didn’t think it’d be this bad."

Damon nodded."It’s worse for most. Don’t worry." He stretched his fingers, watching faint threads of corrupted mana drift toward him... and dissolve like mist on contact. His blood, his magic, no, his very presence, was purifying the air around him.

His Blood Archives were quickly expanding with the sheer amount of corruption and toxins in the air. He looked around, gaze falling on the cursed terrain. The place hadn’t changed a bit. "This land is sick. The creatures here are twisted, but there is a special secret hidden here."

"My Lord?" Kaelthorn tried his best to focus on Damon’s words and compose himself back to a respectful form, but it was proving to be impossible. The weight of the corruption was simply crushing him down.

Leaving him behind, Damon dashed forward. Not wanting to fail so soon, Kaelthorn gritted his teeth and forced himself upright. Every breath was pain. Every step felt like he was dragging chains made of curses and poisons. But he followed.

Up ahead, Damon came to a stop at the edge of a sunken ravine, if it could even be called that. It looked like the earth had been chewed out by some massive, forgotten predator. The bottom writhed with blackened roots, twitching vines, and numerous bones of beasts.

Damon gazed down into the pit and smiled. "It’s still here."

Kaelthorn stumbled to his side, trembling, his eyes barely holding focus. "What... is it?"

"An amazing treasure chest, of course." Damon grinned.

Kaelthorn staggered to the edge, peering down with a mix of horror and awe. "Treasure...?" he echoed, voice hoarse.

Damon directly jumped down to the bottom of the ravine, landing with a quiet thud amidst the bones and twitching roots. A thick, toxic stench of rot and decay assaulted him, only to be sucked in by him.

One more round of notifications popped in front of Damon, making him grin from ear to ear. He came here for the treasure chest, and now he was getting some unexpected bonus gifts.
