Chapter 62 Am I a walking drug?

Chapter 62

Am I a walking drug?

The raptor in front of me was an agility type monster. I don’t think I can face these many of them especially after seeing their sharp claws and teeth.

I would be torn into million pieces if I am discovered.

Attacking them while hiding with my conceal skill is also not an option here since they are literally filling up the entire place.

So I decided to give up on this hideout and move onto the next one. If this is in fact where the mage women are being kept then I will come back if it is not the next few ones.

Maybe I can come up with a plan by then. I could kill one to check if they leave just the magic stone or the full body.

Since that would give me a clue if these are dungeon generated monsters or not.

Because if these are in fact dungeon monsters then it is a high chance that there is a vampire interference here.

So I decided to find a raptor which was quite far from others. I killed it with a shot of rock bullet on its head followed by a sword swing.

It wasn’t easy as it started running in full speed towards me after first shot but I managed to slash its head as it tried to bite me.

It was very scary but I had already overcome my fears after the werewolf incident. And since I had leveled up to 28 after killing the werewolf, I was strong now.

It did in fact leave its body behind so they are wild ones that have been naturally born. So I left the place immediately because the other raptors might come here soon. I started moving towards the next vampire hideout.

It has already been 6 days since I came to know about the kidnapping and 4 more days to go for the Great lunar day.

I have to find the girls before that, otherwise this all will be for nothing. The next hideout was quite deep inside the Ghalia forest.

This meant facing C class and B class monsters too. The Ghalia forest even has A class monster but they are quite rare.

But I may come across one if I am unlucky. I don’t know if my low level conceal skill will work on it or not so I don’t want to encounter it.

It took me 4 hours to reach the next hideout. On the way I encountered several raptors, bears, Gorillas, Hobgoblins, orcs and pythons.

All were above level 30. But the most dangerous one was an Ogre pair of male and female.

They were level 45 and had enough mana that I was sure that they could use high level magic too.

I have yet to see a monster doing magic attack so I was quite scared and circumvented around them keeping a large distance.

Although still not dangerous as the werewolf, Ogres are known for their regeneration ability and magic attacks in isekai world.

I avoided all those dangerous monsters and reached the hideout. This hideout was different from others as it had a magic barrier around it that made it invisible from outside.

It was again a cliff type hideout with its entrance on top of a circular rock..

I entered the hideout with my conceal on. This hideout was definitely a monster producing factory for vampires.

I could see it very clearly with my spirit eyes. That meant that I will have to face vampires as well as many other monsters. But there were no monsters guarding the entrance this time.

I ready my wands and enter the hideout. This time too, I will finish off the vampires without giving them time to use their magic, since these vampires seem to have quite advance weapons and I don’t want to be bitten again.

Inside the hideout it was a little dark but not pitch black and I could manage with spirit eyes.

I treaded sneakily and scanned everything carefully as I walked to lookout for traps.

There were many tunnels that branched into different paths but I was able to find my way with spirit eyes just like the previous one.

I came up on the dungeon core room and there 2 vampires were busy subduing a bipedal ox with very strong muscles.

It was a minotaurus according to my scan. It was a level 42 monster and seemed quite strong from its stats. The vampires were level 45 and 47.

They were similar to the Roland guy I killed previously. Seems like most of the vampire underlings under Charlotte’s uncle are around level 45. But she did say that he had 3 especially powerful underlings.

As I was thinking that another mana figure entered the dungeon core room from another room.

I scanned him and was shocked. He was 150 years old and was level 65 vampire. His name was Mark Zexos and he is the second vampire with a surname that I have seen after Roland.

Maybe he is one of those powerful 3 vampires which Charlotte san warned me about.

Was Roland also one of them then, but he was too weak for being one of the 3 powerful followers of Charlotte’s uncle. Maybe he was the son of a powerful noble vampire.

Anyway now I have to finish this vampire first and that too without prolonging the fight because I am sure he will have some very powerful skills and I don’t want to find out which.

But his stats are all 250 and above and my wands together can only do a maximum damage of 220, so I don’t think it will be over in one attack.

I need a plan. Should I follow up with my sword, but I don’t know what kind of skill he might use.

Mark is ordering other vampires to do something. The other vampires then carried the subdued minotaur to one of the rooms next to the main room.

The structure here is very similar to the first monster producing facility I destroyed. This rescue mission has turned into secret spy mission to destroy enemy facilities somehow and I feel like I am playing some one man army game.

I just hope that I can complete my original rescue mission.

I observed the vampires and figured that just like the previous dungeon, here too the dungeon core produces one minotaurus every 20 minutes and the 2 subordinate vampires then take about 5 minutes to subdue it and dope it with sleeping potion or something and then carry it to another room.

So I think it would be better to kill the 2 subordinates first and then deal with mark.

But I decided to see what Mark does first and decided to wait for an opportunity. Mark went to one of the rooms and stayed there, so I am sure he will be alone there.

This is what I was looking for. After the 2 subordinates went to put the minotaurus into another room, I immediately went to the room Mark went to.

I peeked into the room and saw that he was drinking blood from a pouch and his face was turned away from the entrance.

While crouching I entered the room and hid behind his bed. My plan this time is to use the same sleeping medicine on these vampires which they are using on the monsters.

I acquired it in the previous dungeon and had forgotten about it, but now after seeing them using it, this idea clicked in my mind.

After drinking the blood, mark left the room. I immediately took action and added sleeping medicine to all the blood pouches lying there and to mask its smell, I added my own blood to them too.

I then tightly closed the bottles and placed them as they were.

Charlotte san told me that my blood was irresistible so I think this may work. I would have added poison to the blood but I don’t have any and I am not sure if it will work or not since most of the vampires themselves are poisonous.

But this sleeping drug may work as it is quite potent according to my scan. These vampires are using it by diluting it, but I have added it to the blood without dilution.

Next all I had to do was wait. But a lot of time passed and although the other subordinate vampires did drink blood from the other rooms but Mark did not go to drink the blood in his room after that.

It seems he is not hungry right now. But I have no choice but to wait. I won’t add sleeping potion to other vampire’s blood because if they get knocked out first, I would have to deal with Mark. I want to take out Mark first.

After 2 hours of waiting patiently, my luck shined and finally Mark went inside his room. When the other two vampires also left, I sneakily went near Mark’s room and peeked inside.

To my surprise Mark was greedily devouring all his blood bottles. He seemed to be in a state of frenzy. His eyes were shining red too.

I went inside and hid in his room. After devouring all the blood bottles, mark started growling like a beast who was very hungry and dashed out of the room.

I followed him sneakily. This situation was beyond my expectation though. I expected him to sleep but he went berserk instead.

Mark launched an attack on the two subordinate vampires as soon as he saw them. He had gone crazy in ecstasy and all he was thinking about was drinking blood. I didn’t know my blood was so dangerous. I hope Charlotte san is alright.

The subordinate vampires were scared by mark’s behavior and started fighting to protect themselves. The situation had become something beyond what I had expected.

The fighting continued but it was very difficult even for 2 level 45 vampires to handle level 65 Mark.

However the 2 subordinates were using their magic attacks as well as skills where as Mark who was in frenzy was just like a beast who was just using his flight and claws to attack them and trying to bite them.

The magic the 2 subordinates were using was pit formation and earth spikes magic. They both seemed to be proficient in that since they were using the same too while fighting the Minotaur.

They are even trying to dope Mark with sleeping drug to try to calm him down. That would be great in fact. Another thing they are using is some sort of skill to accelerate.

Because while flying and fighting sometime one of them disappear and immediately Mark is cut. That seems to be some speed attack type of skill.

The fight was very gruesome and cool at the same time. Three vampires were flying around fighting with magic and claws. Their attacks were so fast and awesome that I don’t think I would have won against any of them if I had fought them head on.

Eventually after a very long bloody fight, Mark seemed to have come under effect of sleeping drug and passed out and the other two also laid on the ground wounded and tired.

But I was not dilly dallying and enjoying the fight. I had already sneaked into rooms of the subordinates and added my blood in them just in case the other 2 vampires still lived after that.

I think adding sleeping potion is useless. Since alone, it will be discovered by its smell and with my blood, it does not work anyways.

I returned and saw that the fighting was over and all three vampires were lying there wounded as seen by mana eyes and scan.

Their HP had decreased a lot and I think Mark is sleeping due to drug and will not wake up. So it would be better to finish off the other 2 vampires first and then deal with Mark.

I went near them and while still being concealed launched a gamma beam on head of first and rock bullet on throat of second.

The vampires were so badly wounded that their regeneration was taking very long. So when I hit them with my spell they instantly died with a jerk. I then took out my sword and cautiously moved near mark and cut his head off.

But something roared at my back and attacked me from behind. I was sent flying.
