Chapter 2090: Chapter 697: Loyalty’s Resolve—The Time to Ascend to Silver Has Come!

"Lend me your blood!"

He roared, releasing his Crimson Ability in the most direct manner.

The thousand vampire warriors behind him did not resist the siphoning from their leader. Each offered a bit of fresh blood, which gathered in mid-air, forming a bloody hurricane swirling around the Monster General. A third of that blood was absorbed by Maxim, strengthening his Bloodthirsty.

The remaining two-thirds were gathered in his hand and slammed into the ground with the force of a seismic crush.

"Boom"

The ground shattered.

Within the fissures, crimson streams danced wildly, moving through the earth like snakes searching for food, only to be released again by Maxim’s left claw swipe.

In the next instant, hundreds of crimson spikes burst forth from the ground amid the scattering stones, each spike impaling an undead creature.

The scene was overwhelmingly breathtaking.

It resembled the scene of Earth Priests casting earth spikes, something Maxim perhaps drew inspiration from, or perhaps it stemmed from a joke Murphy once made with him.

After all, your surname is Vlad; it would be a shame not to do a bit of "impaling" to honor that name.

Maxim once didn’t quite understand the humor in this joke, but after the Transia Tavern app went live, he searched its built-in browser for the meaning of "Vlad" in another world.

Piercing Lord...

For a vampire, it indeed was a very prestigious title.

If Master Morphy wished to see his Crimson Sword grow into such a form in the future, then Maxim would not hesitate to start shaping himself from this moment.

And as for this scene before them, it was the result of Maxim’s "learning."

The undead impaled on the crimson spikes struggled, but what the piercing objects shaped by the Crimson Ability extracted at that moment was no longer mere fresh blood but the cursed life within them.

They withered.

Just as weathered bones meet their end, they transformed into dancing ash in the air after being impaled, dissipating with a lamenting cry.

The power of death was scattered, sending the defiled ones onto the deathly path they had long been destined for.

This was always the truth about the Blood race’s bloodsucking.

The Midnight loved ones were never crazed by the taste of blood alone but were entranced by the vitality transmitted through it.

Being able to transform their attacks from mere blood siphoning to direct vitality extraction had already proven Maxim’s exploration of the vampire’s original power had reached a new stage.

The explanation of power is never singular.

On this path of ascension, absolute truth does not exist; by attaining one’s interpretation of power through ancestral pursuits and harnessing it, one has already passed the most challenging test in the Silver trial.

By this stage, Maxim’s ascension was nearing completion, and his "Night Bat Essence" was beginning to manifest.

That was a "Second Stage Transformation" skill only a silver-level vampire could achieve, just like the night when the Gray Claw Faction attacked the Crimson Castle and Colando, killed by Murphy and Andre, unleashed the "Wolf Bat Essence" of the Wolfsbane Clan.

Unfortunately, Colando’s understanding of power was evidently lacking in purity, which perhaps also contributed to his failure.

Generally speaking, the form of the Night Bat Essence is directly linked to the ancestral power possessed by the vampire, and its appearance is not uniform, entirely dependent on what the vampire desires to transform into.

Those wilder in nature transform themselves into beast-like bats to obtain strength, like the thugs of the Wolfsbane Clan, while the more conservative ones merely enhance their existing vampire traits based on their original human form.

For instance, Triss’s excessively large Blood Wings or Kudell, who simply enhanced his strength without much alteration in appearance.

What’s crucial is the enhancement of power, the form...

Tch, who besides someone like Morphy would overly concern themselves with how cool their Second Stage Transformation’s appearance is?

"Creak, creak, creak"

Maxim continued his relentless battle.

The ascension in life form made him even more formidable, with bizarre clashing sounds echoing beneath his heavy armor during the frenzied slaughter, caused by the transformation of his body and the deformation of his armor during the Night Bat Essence formation.

The facts demonstrated that Maxim was also a pragmatist.

He did not transform himself into an overly exaggerated form, instead opting for his Dark Night Claws on his arms to grow larger, reaching the ground when his arms hung low, and following the Blood Vulture tradition, his already wide wings became more awe-inspiring and resilient.

His eyes glowed even crimsoner, their pupils transformed into blood jade-like pupils.

He had grown taller, his body more robust, with muscles bulging such that he resembled a mountain person.

Apart from these changes, Maxim was still himself.

But now, perhaps he should be called "Piercing Baron Maxim," still a bit shy of the Piercing Lord’s realm, though continuing down this path, one day, Morphy will truly have his own Piercing Duke.

"So, Guardians from a century ago."

With his form-shaping complete, Maxim stretched his body, experiencing the newfound power.

He stood amidst the fallen undead, eyes fixed on the enemies still streaming forth.

He raised his left hand, a Crimson War Spear materializing amidst the bloodlight, and as Maxim made a throwing gesture, six Crimson War Spears suddenly appeared in the blood-colored stream behind him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"In the name of Master Morphy, I grant you peace."
