Crimson Overlord-Chapter 283: Amber Vs the Ogre

In a forest in a certain ruin.

In the heart of this floor’s embrace, a breathtaking forest comes to life, nestled among majestic mountains. The air is crisp and invigorating, carrying the scent of pine and wildflowers on its gentle breeze. As you step into this enchanted realm, you find yourself immersed in a world of natural wonders.

Tall, towering trees stretch towards the heavens, their branches reaching out like arms, creating a verdant canopy that filters the sunlight. Sunbeams cascade through the gaps, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow upon the forest floor. The vibrant green hues of moss and ferns carpet the ground, adding a touch of serenity and tranquility to the scene.

The mountains loom in the distance, their peaks touching the sky with a majestic grandeur. Snow-capped summits glisten in the sunlight, their white caps contrasting beautifully against the rich earth tones of the forest. Jagged cliffs and rocky outcrops add texture and character to the landscape, standing as testaments to the raw power and timelessness of nature.

As you venture deeper into the forest, a symphony of sounds fills the air. Birds sing their melodic tunes, their voices carrying through the trees, while small creatures scurry and rustle in the underbrush. The gentle babbling of a nearby stream adds a soothing melody to the chorus of nature, inviting you to follow its path and discover hidden treasures.

Wildflowers bloom in abundance, painting the forest with splashes of vibrant colors. Delicate bluebells nod their heads in the soft breeze, while golden daffodils stand tall and proud. Scarlet poppies dance among the grasses, their petals swaying in harmony with the rhythm of the forest.

As you explore further, you come across a crystal-clear lake nestled between the mountains. Its surface mirrors the surrounding beauty, reflecting the towering trees, the azure sky, and the majestic peaks. The water shimmers with a tranquil serenity, inviting you to dip your toes and immerse yourself in its refreshing embrace.

In this forest filled with mountains, nature’s wonders converge to create a harmonious symphony of beauty. The majesty of the mountains, the serenity of the trees, and the delicate grace of the wildflowers all come together to form a tapestry of awe-inspiring magnificence. It is a place where one can find solace, inspiration, and a deep connection to the natural world.

As you take in the breathtaking scenery, you can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing such splendor. This forest filled with mountains is a testament to the power and artistry of nature, a reminder of the innate beauty that surrounds us and the importance of preserving and cherishing it for generations to come.

It would have been a scenery to enjoy if weren’t for her current situation. It was not that she didn’t want to enjoy the superb view but simply because she couldn’t at the moment,

Because standing before the young vampire was a 3 meters tall origin beast, an ogre wielding a big stone club, each swing of this destructive weapon could smash a boulder to powder.

Amber felt chill running down her spine just by standing before such a powerful monster, still the corner of her lips rose ever so lightly and her blood colored eyes shone.

It wasn’t going to be an easy fight but she would survive and win.

’’Grarr!" The ogre growled ready to charge towards its prey.

"Blood Strengthening Art: Bloody Armor!" Amber used the Blood Art and her body was shrouded in a bloody aura which soon turned into armor not only to strengthen her defense but also makes her stronger, faster even if it would only last 1 minute, it was more than enough.

Amber lifted her sword and it was immediately covered in flame. This marked the start of the fight between the young vampire and the ogre.

The earth rumbled with every earth-shattering stride the ogre took, charging towards Amber with the club raised high. She met it head-on, flames dancing around her blade as she parried the thunderous blow. Sparks erupted, the force nearly sending her sprawling. But adrenaline coursed through her veins, her movements fueled by primal fear and honed instinct.

She became a whirlwind of crimson fury, flitting around the lumbering beast like a wisp of smoke. Her strikes were lightning-fast, precise, exploiting the ogre’s sluggish reflexes. Each hit drew roars of pain, but the creature’s hide, thick as tree bark, shrugged off most attacks.

Time became a frantic drumbeat in her ears as the bloody armor began to wane. Panic flickered at the edges of her vision, but she quelled it, channeling it into focus. She needed a decisive blow, and fast. Her gaze darted around, searching for an opening, like a hawk scanning the battlefield.

Suddenly, her eyes landed on a loose rock embedded precariously in the cliff face near the ogre. It was a gamble, a desperate Hail Mary, but it was her only hope. Gathering the last dregs of her strength, she launched herself skyward, soaring just within the arc of the club’s deadly swing. With a burst of speed fueled by desperation, she spun, kicking the rock with all her might.

It flew like a crimson meteor, propelled by her vampire strength, slamming into the giant’s exposed eye with a sickening crunch. The ogre bellowed in agony, recoiling with a stumble, its massive hand instinctively going to shield the wounded eye. Blood streamed down its face, blinding it partially.

This was her chance. In a blur of motion, Amber swooped down, her flaming blade a streak of vengeance. It pierced the beast’s throat, a geyser of blood erupting as the ogre crumpled to the ground, lifeless. The silence that descended was heavy, broken only by the ragged gasps of her own breath.

The bloody armor shimmered and vanished, leaving her weak but alive. Leaning against the ogre’s still form, she fought to catch her breath, heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. It hadn’t been an easy fight. The beast’s immense strength had pushed her to the brink, reminding her of the limitations of her youth compared to such ancient adversaries.

But as her ragged breathing calmed, a different feeling rose within her. It wasn’t just relief, but a fierce, hard-won pride. She had faced a terrifying foe and emerged victorious. Her gaze fell on the fallen ogre, its monstrous visage softened by the moonlight. A fleeting pang of respect crossed her mind for the formidable opponent she had overcome.

This battle was a harsh lesson, a brutal reminder of the dangers that lurked in the shadows. But it was also a crucible, forging her resolve and sharpening her skills. As she straightened, the flaming blade held high like a defiant torch, she knew this was just the beginning. The journey ahead would be fraught with challenges, but she wouldn’t face them alone. She was a vampire, she would meet each obstacle with the same unwavering determination that had seen her through this fight.

With newfound strength etched in her eyes, Amber turned and walked away, the dying embers of the ogre’s club casting long, twisted shadows on her path. The fight was over, but she had to continue thriving harder, growing stronger to one day stand shoulder and shoulder with him, her master.
