SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God-Chapter 151: Frostmane, the Ancient Glacier

[Ding! World Boss: Frostmane the Ancient Glacier, Level 80]

"I knew it!" Damon’s crimson eyes lit up with interest, his grin widening like a wolf scenting blood. A world boss, here? Completely unexpected, but as soon as he sensed the mana signature, he had a strong feeling that it had to be something powerful.

Naturally, he was not planning to let this big boy escape. He was not in the least worried about Robert or his progress. In fact, there was a surprise waiting for the guy if he actually tried to go deeper than the sixth break point. That surprise was enough to buy him some time.

For now, he was going to hunt down this massive beauty of a monster happily. The creature simply looked regal and majestic. It was a big boy with ice crystal tusks and a hide like frost-forged steel.

Damon studied the beast with a predatory gleam. Frostmane’s aura pulsed with a cold fury, its massive paws cracking the frost beneath it with every step. Jagged shards of ice jutted from its back like a crown, and Damon felt that hunger surge in his blood.

"Tasty," he whispered, licking his lips. The bear’s blood smelled unexpectedly divine.

Seeing Damon eyeing it like a piece of steak, the Frostmane roared in anger. A blast of frigid air exploded from its maw, forming a ring of ice spikes. "Come at me, you oversized snowball," he taunted and dashed straight to it, summoning his crimson fire lance in his hand.

With a roar that split the air, the bear lunged, fangs like icicles, claws like frozen razors. The two of them collided with a bang as Damon faced the world boss head-on.

Unlike his previous fight, he had no shortcuts hidden in his sleeve for this one. He would be testing the limits of his new body in the most straightforward method, a good old dog fight, or in this case, a bear fight.

BOOM!

The two attacks collided and, surprisingly, both of them were pushed back. The frost wave that burst from the big boy completely blocked the powerful crimson lance.

Damon found himself evenly matched with the damned bear. "No wonder, you are a world boss!" He grinned. The bear, on the other hand, wasn’t all that pleased.

The Frostmane let out an earth-shaking roar. Its massive head swung with the force of a wrecking ball, tusks glowing with a savage blue light that crackled like a living blizzard.

"Bring it on," Damon growled, the fire lance in his hand blazing brighter, its heat searing through the cold air. "Show me what makes you a world boss, Frosty."

In response, the bear slammed its claws into the ground. The next second, a shimmering ice field erupted outward, the temperature dropping in an instant.

Damon’s breath crystallized in front of him, his skin stinging from the sudden cold. His movements slowed fractionally, but his grin remained.

"Isn’t this ice domain?" Damon was already aware of this skill. He didn’t think the big bear would be able to use a skill this advanced. Typically, only a Lord rank creature can use such a skill. It looked like this bear was indeed a very special beast. Blood did not lie.

He gathered his strength and activated [Blood Surge] even though he wasn’t officially given the skill. Learning Blood Manipulation was enough to personally activate a few skills he was extremely familiar with.

He knew these skills like the back of his hand. They were the core racial skills for all vampires. Immediately, the system as well acknowledged his experience, and a new notification chimed in.

[Ding! You have learned a new skill Blood Surge]

Blood Surge: Uses innate blood energy to greatly enhance physical attributes and magical affinity. When activated, Blood Surge temporarily boosts Strength, Agility, and Mana by 50%. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes. While active, the user’s aura glows crimson, and blood magic skills receive a synergy bonus.

Damon felt a surge of heat ignite in his veins as the new skill integrated seamlessly into his repertoire. His crimson aura brightened, flaring like a living flame, instantly pushing back the creeping frost that sought to slow him.

His grin widened into a predator’s smile. "Now we’re talking," he growled, feeling his strength multiply with each heartbeat.

Frostmane roared, its own aura intensifying as it recognized the threat. Shards of ice burst from its hide, swirling like blades in a deadly dance.

Damon’s vision narrowed to the beast in front of him, the world around them fading into the background. "Let’s end this." He lunged forward, his fire lance igniting with renewed fury. Every step cracked the frozen earth, his movements now a blur of speed and strength.

The Frostmane met him head-on, but Damon’s crimson glow collided with the bear’s froststorm in a shockwave that shattered the ice field like glass.

Damon roared, his aura burning brighter than ever. His lance swung in a deadly arc, striking true as it tore into Frostmane’s side, slicing through its steel-hard hide and carving into its heart. The bear let out a thunderous roar that echoed through the cavernous ice plains, then crumbled to its knees, the icy light in its eyes flickering.

In a straight-up power contest, it paled in comparison to the newly evolved vampire. There was nothing it could do anymore. In a few more attacks, Damon completely chipped away its health and brought it down to its last breath.

Strings of blood energy burst from the massive bear and shot forward towards Damon. With a big smile, he happily absorbed all of it. With the Blood Manipulation skill in his repertoire, he no longer needed to be in direct contact with the target to absorb blood energy. Things were going to get a lot more interesting now. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Soon, he absorbed every last bit of the blood energy of the massive beast, leaving its dead body drop to the ground. Immediately, a few system-wide notifications rang out celebrating his achievements.
