Several messages appeared before Victor as he tried to use one of his skills. At this point, the none stop messages had subsided, but that was just a breather for the more serious notification.

[ERROR] [ERROR]

[Unable to access skills]

[Your skills are inaccessible at the moment]

[Something is preventing access to your skills]

[Something is interfering with the system] [System functions are being restricted]

..

Several similar messages kept popping up, and Victor needed not to guess that the cause of these abnormalities was related to the figure that had just appeared.

The vampire stood over Ramkish’s corpse as though he was checking something or scanning for something in the body. After a short time, the vampire moved away from the body after placing his hand on Ramkish’s chest for a bit.

Perhaps, the most surprising thing was when Victor tried to see just what level the vampire before him was. The other vampires, especially the older ones seemed to have an unbalance between their levels and actual level of power, but what Victor found out was a first for him.

It was weird, but the vampire before him had no peculiar name, and the vampire’s level was at one.

Without saying anything, the vampire faced Victor and dashed towards him. Victor could not keep up with the vampire’s speed, and easily found himself being greatly overpowered. In just an instant, the roles were switched, and Victor had become the foe.

After being tossed around for a bit, the vampire spoke as he said, “Useless, you don’t appear to be anything special. Trash.” The vampire said, with a noticeable disgust in his words that Victor couldn’t tell where it was coming from.

Victor instead of listening to what the vampire had to say, was going through himself checking for how he would be able to better his chances. He couldn’t access any of his skills, and he had concluded that the reason was related to the enemy before him. This wasn’t some kind of anime or movie where people explained what they had done and how it worked, so there was no chatting amongst themselves on how whatever was possible. The fact that he had to fight using just one arm also contributed as it messed up his balance and all.

Fortunately for Victor, although his skills had been locked and no longer had effect, he still had a chance. His Innate Abilities were still accessible. Since the abilities were actually deeply rooted in his being and nature, they were not affected by whatever it was that had been done to him.

The thought of getting the evolution materials of such a foe was really tantalizing, but the thought was pushed to the side as quickly as it came. At the moment, the saving grace for Victor was his Infernal body.

He really saw how lazy he had become facing weak opponents. The fact that he had never really used his Infernal Body was proof.

The vampire before him took a single step, exuding plenty confidence, and as soon as Victor saw that, he flared up. The lines all around his body lit up to the extent that Victor started emitting a substantial amount of light that illuminated his immediate surroundings. As always, the lines and marks on his body looked like flowing lava, and along with the light came intense heat, but to Victor there was barely any change at all.

The vampire that had stopped moving forward for a bit, observing what was going on started moving closer again. He seemed not to be affected by the heat, and after reaching a certain distance disappeared, and not even a split second later appeared before Victor. With a simple motion, he thrust his left hand towards Victor’s stomach, but to his surprise, his fist was caught and a plam strike followed right after to his chest. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

The strike Victor delivered didn’t do much of a damage, but instead acted as a great way to distance his opponent away from himself.

Of course, there was the fact that Victor was yet to fully understand the capabilities of this form, and what he could actually do or his limits, so it was safe to say that he was not drawing out the full capabilities.

Both broke into another round of fight, but this time it would seem that Victor could keep up with the vampire to an extent, and even managed to deal some punches and kicks from time to time, though not all did much when it came to damage done. He also realized that he could create and control flames, but the problem was still present as he had inadequate control over them, and could only do many variations of attack on the spot.

After a while of going at it, the vampire stopped attacking again before saying, “Hmm, you barely pass, but you are still too weak.” He said, before spitting on the ground as though a sign of disrespect and rejection for Victor.

Victor couldn’t really understand the meaning of what he was saying, but at least he was able to grab the surface meaning.

At this point, one might be asking why Victor had yet to call out his army even when the odds were stacked this badly against him, but it just wasn’t possible. Victor had wanted to do this the moment he saw that his opponent was way stronger than him, but it didn’t work. In the end, the skill Legion of the Dead was also a skill.

As the fight dragged on, it became clear who was on top and who was below, not that it hadn’t been.

Victor even managed to outmanoeuvre the vampire and get back his arm that had been blown away because of the fight, and with the enhancement the Infernal Body provided his body, he was able to rejoin it to his body in a short time.

pa(nd)a no vel Even then, the fight didn’t get any easy, and as it went on Victor had to push himself even further until he seemed to have entered a new form of his infernal body .

With this new form came some improvement, obviously. He could feel the jump in power, and the lines and marks on his body had also increased in size and were running even more ferociously than before.

This time, the heat produced from his body was simply insane, and he would dare say that at that moment, he resembled a mini sun. The air around him evaporated, and the very ground beneath his feet began melting. His every step left a mark on the ground as it burned off, and for the first time he felt that he could turn the tide of the fight.

As expected, this new form was simply something else. With every touch, he caused damage to the vampire, and even when he was simply defending from an attack, it still seemed to do damage to the vampire. The intense heat generated from his body alone seem to burn the vampire, but his last one Victor couldn’t confirm exactly, as the vampire showed no sign of being hurt.

Everything looked to be going well for once as Victor was making use of every experience he had in fighting to pull various things off. Fighting with beasts and fighting with actual proper opponents was very different.

But then, the vampire distanced himself from Victor with a short burst. His body was covered in burns, a testament that Victor was no joke with the heat.

“This is enough. It’s ready.” The vampire said.

Victor was about to attack, as he wasn’t one to wait for his opponent to transform, but then Victor noticed something strange happening around him as the darkness seemed to move on it’s own towards the vampire.

But then, something unexpected happened before Victor’s eyes as a hand impaled through the mid section…
