Chapter 1102: Vampire Sman
Chapter 1102: Vampire Sman
After receiving the mission, Su Yu left the princess's residence.
Following the mission's instructions, he mounted Dimah and headed toward the target location, Green Valley Street.
The rewards for this mission were quite substantial. However, based on Su Yu's experience, the better the reward, the more difficult the mission.
"So, something unexpected might happen on the way to Green Valley Street. I need to be cautious."
Su Yu raised his alertness and cast the [Lightning Shield] spell.
Silver-white arcs of lightning flashed, illuminating the street under the night sky. It felt a bit like driving a car with the headlights on at night, making Su Yu feel a bit safer.
But just as Dimah had traveled about four to five hundred meters, the unexpected happened.
A heavy, murderous aura suddenly emanated from the shadows at the street corner. It was the unique, blood-soaked killing aura of the vampire race!
Affected by the killing aura, Dimah let out a terrified neigh and began to spin uncontrollably on the spot.
Su Yu quickly jumped off Dimah and gently stroked her neck to calm her down. Feeling the warmth of her master's hand, Dimah's fear gradually subsided. She nuzzled Su Yu's chest with her head, regaining her composure.
Su Yu recalled Dimah to her card, activated the [Insight] spell, and looked in the direction the killing aura had come from.
The killing aura exerted immense pressure on him, indicating that it was likely a high-ranking entity targeting him.
With the help of the moonlight and the brightness of [Lightning Shield], Su Yu successfully saw the hidden vampire.
Character: Vampire Sman
Level: 65 [Fourth Rank]
Occupation: Blood Mage
Preferences: Torturing souls, feeding on the blood of young males.
...
After reviewing Sman's attributes, Su Yu quickly concluded, "Hmm, a different kind."
Sman was a male vampire.
Vampires usually maintained an intimate relationship with their targets before feeding, as it made the blood taste better. Typically, male vampires preferred to feed on young women.
But Sman actually preferred to feed on men!
Ew.
Su Yu wrinkled his nose in disgust. However, since Sman was a Fourth Rank assassin, running away was not an option.
Su Yu stood up straight and smiled at him. "May I ask what brings you here?"
Vampire Sman slowly approached Su Yu.
He loved the look of despair on his prey's face during the hunt, finding it even more delicious than the blood itself.
But seeing Su Yu so calm, his steps faltered.
Why wasn't this First Rank mage afraid? Was it out of ignorance or confidence?
A question mark appeared over Sman's head.
However, he didn't ponder for long, and with an evil grin, he replied, "I am here to capture you. Prepare to face your impending doom!"
With a wave of his sleeve, a black mist was cast into the night sky, enveloping a 20-meter radius around them.
[Fear Mist]
This was Sman's signature spell. He loved to drag his targets into fear before slowly torturing them.
Su Yu, of course, was also affected by the [Fear Mist].
But his gaze remained resolute. "I am the Great Compassionate Dijia Bodhisattva of the Land of Light. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. I am the Great Calamity!"
Su Yu's words were rapid, almost like chanting a magic incantation.
But the moment he finished "chanting," his figure gradually became translucent and vanished from the spot.
"Invisibility spell?"
"
Vampire Sman, of course, recognized this signature spell of mages.
He closed his eyes and cast a spell, a massive crimson field spreading out from him, covering a 30-meter radius around him.
But to his shock, he found no trace of Su Yu within the field.
"How is this possible!" Saman exclaimed, "How could a lowly first-rank mage escape?"
Saman quickly began searching for Su Yu within a one-kilometer radius around him.
But he still found nothing.
Saman returned empty-handed, his brows deeply furrowed.
This was a serious problem!
He had thought capturing Su Yu would be a simple task, and he had even promised Duke Seifer that he would complete it without fail.
Now that Su Yu had somehow escaped, how was he supposed to report back to Duke Seifer?
"Could it have something to do with that spell incantation earlier?" Saman stroked his chin, lost in thought. "Daiji Bodhisattva of the Land of Light? I've never heard of such a spell before. I'll have to take it back and discuss it with my colleagues."
Saman's form gradually faded, disappearing into the night sky.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Su Yu removed his helmet and sat up in bed.
He hadn't used any clever magic to evade the pursuit of the vampire Saman; he had simply logged out of the game.
As players had previously summarized, when facing a high-rank NPC, logging out was always the best escape method, especially in the early stages of the game when NPCs were not yet familiar with players.
Today's attempt had proven successful.
He checked the remaining game time for the day, which was 11 minutes.
It was now 21:46 in the evening.
Su Yu nodded. "I'll log back in two hours! Two hours is equivalent to a day in-game, so that vampire won't just stand there waiting for me for a whole day."
For those two hours, Su Yu planned to rest.
He opened his phone and ordered some midnight snacks.
While waiting for the food, he did several dozen push-ups and squats to exercise his body.
Though his body had become incredibly strong due to the infusion of vast spiritual energy, basic exercises were still essential. They helped him fully master his own strength.
After having his midnight snack, Su Yu sat in front of his computer and browsed the news.
From the news, it seemed that life in the country was still peaceful; people's lives had not changed much.
However, Su Yu noticed that advertisements for Evolution had increased significantly.
Across various platforms, soft articles about Evolution were popping up everywhere:
- "Shocking! CCTV Host Wang Bing Can't Resist the Allure of Evolution!"
- "Astonishing! University Student Squirrel (Pseudonym) Drops Out to Join Evolution and Gains Parents' Support!"
- "Breaking News! Install Evolution Game Helmet in Installments, Interest-Free for a Limited Time!"
- "Exclusive! Evolution Receives Key Support from Game Authorities..."
- "Entertainment: Famous Mechanic Xiao Han Joins Evolution..."
The game advertisements were everywhere, almost like the brainwashing ads of yesteryear.
"It seems the relevant departments are also working hard behind the scenes!" Su Yu nodded. "I hope the production of game helmets can ramp up quickly, allowing talented players to enter the game sooner. That would give humanity a better chance."
...
After browsing the internet for a while, Su Yu opened his phone and sent a text to Xue Wenli, asking if she had any information related to ghosts.
Xue Wenli quickly replied, "A male teacher at Yulin High School, close to you, died under mysterious circumstances. You should check it out."
