Chapter 222

“Boom—!”

The loud gunshot sound reverberated abruptly across the deck.

However, this time it was accompanied by the splatter of fresh blood.

Right before Fang Li, Aria, and Riko, Sayonaki placed a bullet into his own head, causing blood to gush forth like a spring from his temple.

Staggering due to the impact of the bullet, Sayonaki abruptly froze in an eerie pose, like a puppet with its strings cut, and his entire upper body slumping downward.

“Awoo—!”

“Awoo—!”

Around them, as if sensing something, one silver wolf after another began to howl, their voices filled with both submission and fervor.

In the next moment, Sayonaki’s body suddenly expanded.

“Pā—!”

His snug suit tore apart.

“Thud—!”

Expensive fabric scattered all around the roof.

Sayonaki swelled up entirely in this manner, his muscles bulging one by one, and he gradually grew body hair.

When Sayonaki raised his head and opened his eyes, those eyes had transformed into the appearance of a wild beast, with fangs slowly emerging from his mouth.

Before long, Sayonaki had completely transformed.

Into a monster.

His entire body was covered in jet-black body hair.

He is standing over two meters tall with muscles protruding like blocks of iron and fangs gleaming like sharp blades.

Patterns resembling eyeballs appeared on various parts of the monster’s body.

At this moment, Sayonaki had fully become an immensely towering beast-like creature.

Gazing at the colossal beast, Riko’s eyes widened, and within them, the deepest fear was evident.

Even Aria, at this moment, couldn’t help but clench her teeth and speak in a hushed voice.

“Vlad…”

Existing within Romania’s history, known as Count Dracula, the second character of I-U.

Now, finally, he had appeared before everyone.

“Awoo—!”

“Awoo—!”

Finally, the surrounding silver wolves lowered their noble heads toward Vlad’s direction, letting out howls.

And Vlad himself let out a resounding roar.

“ROOAARRR, Aaah, Aaah—!”

The terrifying roar transformed into substantial soundwaves, sweeping across the deck and enveloping the surroundings like a fierce wind.

“Ahhhhhhh, Aaah, Aaah—!”

Both Aria and Riko simultaneously let out cries, their petite bodies carried away by the wind-like soundwaves, rolling around the deck like tumbleweeds before finally coming to a stop.

Even the surrounding silver wolves were carried away by the substantial roar one after another, crashing onto the deck or colliding with the railings.

In the end, only Fang Li remained in his place amidst the hurricane-like soundwaves, looking at the continuously roaring beast and letting out a sigh.

“Shut up.”

As the words fell…

“Boom—!”

At the sound of the gunshot, a brilliant flash erupted before Fang Li, transforming the invisible bullets that were imperceptible to the naked eye into sharp blades, violently shooting toward Vlad.

“Pū Chī—!”

The bullets pierced through Vlad’s mouth, causing blood to once again spatter and dye the deck in red.

The roaring sound coming from the monster, which was enough to become a soundwave, abruptly ceased.

However, Fang Li did not relent.

“Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom—!”

Amid the continuous gunshots, flashes appeared one after another before Fang Li, turning each bullet into a streak that cut through the night sky, enveloping the area ahead, ultimately landing on Vlad’s body.

“Pū Chī— Pū Chī— Pū Chī—!”

Vlad’s body was consecutively pierced by the bullets.

Yet, even before this, Vlad’s head had already lifted, and his ferocious beast-like pupils emitted a menacing gleam as he looked at Fang Li.

Within his mouth, the wound that had been pierced through had already disappeared within a burst of red smoke.

“What…?!” Witnessing this scene, Aria who had been struggling to her feet on the deck, couldn’t help but be astonished.

“No…,” Riko seemed unable to rise again, she lay on the ground and spoke with difficulty, “Vlad has an undying body, there’s no way to kill him…”

Just as Riko said, red smoke began to emanate from Vlad’s wounds, expelling the bullets lodged within his body as they rapidly healed.

Just like the legends of vampires, even when injured, they would quickly recover.

“We must use special weapons to defeat him!” Aria almost instinctively voiced her thoughts.

“Garlic, sunlight, and silver weapons, these are the weaknesses of vampires!”

However, before Aria’s words could fully land, a peal of mocking laughter resounded in the surrounding.

“Weaknesses? Those have long ceased to exist within my body!”

The one uttering these words was naturally Vlad.

Unlike Sayonaki’s magnetic voice, in his vampire form, Vlad’s voice was deep and hoarse, the kind that instinctively invoked fear in anyone’s heart.

“After centuries of rewriting human genes and collecting vast amounts of exceptional blood during my human form as Sayonaki, I now possess hundreds of abilities from extraordinary people throughout history. I have no weaknesses whatsoever!” Vlad roared loudly.

“Yes, now I truly possess an undying body!”

With this roar, Vlad forcefully kicked off the deck.

“Thud—!”

His powerful foot slammed heavily onto the deck, shattering the fragile wood beneath it.

The colossal beast surged forward with berserk steps, charging toward Fang Li. In an instant, the deck trembled under the berserk beast’s footsteps.

With every step Vlad took, the point of impact shattered, sinking into the ground, forming one crater after another.

In the blink of an eye, Vlad rushed to Fang Li’s front, raising a robust arm and heavily pounding in Fang Li’s direction.

“Hū—!”

An astonishing howl reverberated.

It was not anything supernatural, it was the wind generated by his punch.

With Vlad’s punch, a howling gust transformed into concentric vortexes, like a heavy hammer, and crashed toward Fang Li.

Judging by the momentum, it wasn’t hard to imagine the staggering damage it would inflict if it connected.

With his undying vampire nature and the body abilities assimilated from hundreds of exceptional genes, Vlad’s power had evolved far beyond human limits.

This was no longer the rank of Monstrous Strength; it was a devastating blow capable of shattering any object.

Yet, in the face of this strike, Fang Li seemed frozen, it was as if his reaction had halted.

“Watch out!” Aria exclaimed.

“—!” Even Riko couldn’t help but close her eyes, unable to bear looking.

No one could see that at this moment, Fang Li’s eyes had already shut.

When they reopened, his pupils had turned ice blue, reflecting a cold indifference he was feeling in his heart.
