Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 137 The Night of the Full Moon, A Feast of Blood! (Second Update! 5k views, please subscribe!)

Over the next few days, Li Wei practiced his cultivation while reading the newly acquired monster manual.

Franken is actually quite a celebrity in the wizarding world.

He comes from the "School of Life" and specializes in "Monsterology", "Mutation", "Bloodlineology", and "Modification".

Especially in the study of monsters, the Frankenstein wizard is extremely famous and is also known as "Frankenstein the Monster".

Because he personally created many famous man-made monsters.

"Stan" is one of them. It is a stitched monster with immense strength. The main material for its creation is the corpse of the "Great Knight". Of course, it would be even better if the corpse of the "Giant" was available, but the Giants are obviously more difficult to deal with than the Great Knight.

Stan's strength is far greater than that of the Great Knight.

Because he is a monster stitched together by a wizard, he combines the powerful physical attributes of a great knight with some solidified magical abilities, making him the top choice for many wizards to guard their homes.

Some poor souls who stray into a wizard's dwelling usually meet a tragic end after encountering Stan.

Because of Stan's fame, the Frankenstein wizard also gained considerable renown.

His works are considered the gold standard by many freak studies enthusiasts.

This includes the creator of this equivalent pot.

So when he created this equivalent pot, he also put a monster manual inside.

This monster handbook doesn't list a large number of monsters, but they are all classic ones.

This includes classic legendary monsters such as "vampires", "werewolfs", "ghouls", "vampire birds", "deer-headed demons", and "chicken snakes".

Li Wei watched with great interest.

In this world, vampires are quite powerful.

Vampires are divided into two types: primary vampires and secondary vampires.

The original vampires are naturally the first generation of vampires from another dimension. They are extremely powerful and can generally only be dealt with by formal wizards.

However, the number of native vampires is extremely small because they came from the last ancient interdimensional convergence. Since then, there has been no replenishment in their numbers. Native vampires are unable to reproduce; they are all products of a kind known as the "Will of the Blood River."

The Blood River Will should be a ruler of multiple planes, similar to the "Lord of Blue Frost" in the Blue Frost Plane, or at least a demigod-level being.

As time went by, the earliest batch of original vampires who came with the intersecting planes gradually died of old age or unnatural causes, resulting in the fact that original vampires are now extremely rare in the world, truly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Even if they exist, they are mostly sleeping in cemeteries deep in the mountains or in remote ancient castles.

The original vampires have long lifespans; they can survive for thousands of years while in a slumber, which is almost equivalent to immortality for humans.

Therefore, in the taxonomy of wizards, vampires, giants, and elves are all well-known "long-lived species".

Secondary vampires are vampire servants transformed from original vampires using their ancient rituals.

This is what most people mean by "vampires".

These vampires are afraid of sunlight; they hide among people and feed on human blood in the darkness.

Of course, there are also some secondary vampires with strong willpower and a strong sense of morality who drink the blood of livestock, but such people are relatively few.

For vampires, human blood is like delicious milk tea, while animal blood is like spoiled milk, hard to swallow.

"The ones causing trouble in my territory are probably the Secondary Vampires. The strength of the Secondary Vampires is generally at the level of a Grand Knight, and some of the powerful ones may be close to the level of a Top Grand Knight or even a Legendary Knight," Li Wei muttered to himself.

During this period, he sent people to investigate in the territories of other nobles and found that similar murders had occurred in other territories in recent years.

It's not that I only became like this after I came to the Flower City.

This shows that these suspected vampires are not targeting him.

This is their way of life since ancient times.

It's just that I checked the security situation in great detail.

That's why this clue was discovered.

If it were other lords, or some ordinary people who died.

They probably wouldn't care, since so many people die every day from famine and war.

These lives were not enough to warrant the attention of those lords.

As long as these potential dangers do not threaten the lord's rule, no one will care about them.

Li Wei was unsure whether or not to take action against the vampires.

According to Franken, vampires are relatively united.

Because they are small groups, they often place great importance on internal unity, which is how they can continue to survive in the harsh human society.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. As long as it doesn't happen too often, let's just let it pass. I'm about to become a wizard, so I shouldn't cause any more trouble," Li Wei thought to himself.

He wasn't so afraid of secondary vampires; he was worried about primary vampires, which were things only a formal wizard could deal with.

Li Wei estimated that if relying on the power of knights, at least a legendary knight would be needed to deal with a true vampire.

"Vampires are born with extraordinary strength, speed, physique, and powerful regenerative abilities. The original vampires even possess spell-like abilities, which makes them far more formidable than the Grand Knights."

"But vampires are more afraid of fire. My Flame Stream Seal will be a powerful weapon against vampires. Black Qi can also be used against vampires." Li Wei thought to himself. Although he did not intend to take the initiative to attack, he could not be too careful. If these vampires set their sights on him, he would not hesitate to take action.

Who cares if there are native vampires backing them up?

The fact that these ancient artifacts have been hiding in the underground world of humans means that they are afraid of humans and do not want to cause too much trouble in the human world. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to hide so secretively.

However, the demonic tide has resurfaced once again.

Perhaps these old relics are starting to get restless.

Because the plane they inhabit may once again intersect with this plane.

At that time, perhaps a new native vampire will invade this world.

"This is really troublesome. Evil spirits, snow demons, vampires, could it get any more chaotic? Is this really the revival of spiritual energy from another world?" Li Wei thought to himself, speechless.

These actors, each one more difficult to deal with than the last.

It's hard to imagine how humanity would have faced these monster invasions without the help of wizards, relying solely on the motley crew of the church.

Li Wei felt that the wizard would probably take action.

After all, wizards also need humans to replenish their blood; they shouldn't just stand by and watch so many mortals die in the demonic tide.

The wizards are not making a move yet, simply because the situation has only just begun and it is not yet time for them to take action.

"Whatever, saving the world is none of my business." Li Wei stopped worrying unnecessarily.

He continued to return to a normal life.

In the following months, there were several similar murders almost every month, and rumors of a "mind monster" spread like wildfire.

Even a blacksmith that Li Wei brought from Blackwater Valley met a tragic end.

This made Li Wei, who had originally intended to turn a blind eye, restless.

"Damn it, you can't just pick on me when you're trying to fleece people."

Li Wei cursed inwardly.

He decided to investigate first to see if the vampires were behind it all.

The Mind Destroyer is now severely impacting the normal lives of the residents of Flower City.

With several murders every month, who can stand it?

However, after summarizing the characteristics of so many murder cases.

Li Wei still managed to discover some patterns in these guys.

They prefer to commit crimes at night, and their targets are usually homeless people or wandering motorcyclists. Moreover, they prefer to target young adults. So far, none of the victims are elderly; they are all young men or women.

Besides that, these murderers didn't leave many clues.

Based on the monster manual, Li Wei began to have his men focus their investigations. He also hired some professional detectives, all of whom were highly skilled and charged exorbitant prices.

Li Wei didn't intend to alert the culprit; he wanted to see if he could find the killer secretly first.

Generally speaking, vampires are no different from ordinary people under normal circumstances.

However, there are still some distinctive features.

For example, vampires have a rather pale complexion, an unhealthy kind of pale, and they often have dark circles under their eyes, as described in the monster handbook.

In addition, vampires prefer to operate at night, and the full moon is their favorite hunting time.

According to the Frankenstein wizard's preliminary research, it seems that during the full moon, vampires can sense the power of the "Will of the Blood River" from their distant homeland, thus gaining a boost in power.

Therefore, considering these characteristics...

Li Wei plans to try and catch the culprit by stinging him.

In the days that followed.

Although the lord has increased security patrols, some people still go missing every month. In the end, their bodies are found in the corners of the city or in the wilderness. Without exception, they all have no heart and their blood has dried up.

The Flower Church also sent people to investigate this matter.

However, Li Wei really couldn't compliment the efficiency of this group.

Without their "god," this group of people really can't do anything.

Of course, on the surface, Li Wei still maintained a good relationship with the church, and small donations continued uninterrupted.

Regardless, the church remains the true hegemon of the country, and there's no need for me to strain relations.

With the church's support, things become easier.

Tonight is a night of full moon.

Dark clouds drifted across the sky, casting patches of shadow on the ground.

Moonlight illuminated the Flower City. Inside the castle, Li Wei, draped in a black robe and cloak, carrying two swords and wearing a white wolf mask, quietly slipped out.

He wanted to see which damned vampire was causing trouble on his turf.

On the streets, because of the Mind Flayer.

Apart from a few homeless people, there wasn't much else around.

Li Wei's body shrank and became thinner. He hid in the shadows, his advanced vibrational perception fully activated.

So far, the spider sense has not reacted.

He went to the top floor of the church, the highest point in the city of flowers, where he could overlook the entire city.

"Come on, you little brat, let me see what you've got."

Li Wei's muscles were tense, ready to strike at any moment.

……

An empty alley.

A drunken wandering knight had just emerged from the Shining Tavern, reeking of alcohol and belching.

He staggered as he walked down the street.

In a corner of the tavern, a tall, curvaceous figure, completely covered from head to toe, silently raised her head. A veil covered the lower half of her face, but it was still vaguely discernible that it was a woman's face.

She pursed her lips, stretched lazily, and inadvertently let out a sexy moan.

A fat patron next to her, gazing at the young woman's impressive figure, couldn't help but feel his male hormones surge. Emboldened by the alcohol, he impulsively blocked the young woman's path.

He felt it was very rude, but there was nothing he could do. He glanced inadvertently at the woman's chest, and it was just too big...

"Beautiful lady, it's so late, why are you still drinking at the tavern? Are you homeless? Why don't you rest at my manor for the night?"

This is a portly nobleman who is also a formal knight.

The woman frowned slightly as the fat man stopped her.

She glanced at the wandering knight who had already left, then at the fat nobleman, and sighed softly, "Alright."

The fat man clearly didn't expect the young lady to agree, and in a moment, fueled by the alcohol, he reached out and grabbed her hand.

She didn't resist, just grunted and let the fat man hold her hand.

She went home with the fat man.

The fat nobleman's house is located in the inner city.

Even now, it still feels like a dream to him.

Although I couldn't see the young lady's face clearly.

But just looking at her chest, it's clear she has a bat-like face.

Even the fat guy accepted it; for a woman, figure is the most important thing.

As for looks, what difference does it make when the lights are off at night?

The fat nobleman did not take the strange woman to his home, but to a hotel.

Because he sobered up, he felt it wasn't appropriate to bring him to his own home.

They are likely to come knocking on your door afterward.

"Didn't we say we were going to your house?" she asked quietly.

"I forgot my keys, should I go get a room?" the fat man asked in a low voice.

The woman didn't say anything. She took the fat man's hand and led him to a dark alley, pinning him against the wall. Her beautiful, white, and slender fingers touched the fat man's chest, and she even placed one hand on the wall, as if she wanted to pin the fat man against the wall.

The fat man couldn't help but swallow.

He hadn't expected this woman to be so proactive.

Something's not right. How could there be such a good thing?

Even if such a good thing were to happen, would it be possible for me to get it?

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the fat man instantly sobered up.

He looked at the woman; beneath her beautiful face lay an indescribable coldness.

He inexplicably remembered the rumors about the Mind Flayer.

"This..." The fat man hadn't finished speaking.

The beautiful woman in front of him had her tightly wrapped clothes begin to tear.

From her back, jagged bone spurs protruded, and from her chest, the erect penis sprang out.

That's not a chest.

Instead, they were two pairs of hideous tumors, split open with two slits, resembling two human heads, filled with fine teeth that hissed.

"monster……"

The fat man was terrified, but he still subconsciously used his black energy.

Unfortunately, his black aura was extremely fragile in the face of this monster.

Like thin paper, it tears easily.

The beautiful woman had now completely transformed into a monster. Her wet, blood-red skin revealed the texture of her muscles, making her appear bald as if she had no skin at all. She secreted mucus, and her face resembled that of a bat, revealing sharp teeth and a gaping mouth.

The moon behind her seemed to be shrouded in layers of blood-red mist, like a river of blood stretching across the sky, eerie and bewitching.

The fat man wanted to speak, but faced with the monster's terrifying aura, he found it incredibly difficult to even utter a sound.

This is the difference between an ordinary knight and a vampire—it's enormous!

Click.

The monster's claws ripped out the fat man's heart.

Along with the heart, blood, drawn by a mysterious force, flows backward and eventually gushes out.

The blood eventually flowed together, forming a miniature river of blood, which was absorbed by the two fleshy spheres in the monster's chest cavity, causing the fat man to visibly shrivel up.

The monster's aura seemed to have grown slightly stronger.

"Delicious... This tastes so much better than the blood of those animals. Why don't the elders allow us to drink human blood? It's truly the ultimate delicacy."

The monster was baffled. Its body began to return to normal, and the fat man had turned into a dried-up corpse. The delicious taste of human blood made it lose its senses.

Until a dagger formed from black energy pierced through the air and plunged deep into its skull.

The dagger exploded inside its head, splattering its contents everywhere.

The monster winced in pain and mechanically turned its head. Its face, already shattered from the explosion, looked somewhat confused, half of its head staring ahead.

It saw the figure rushing towards it like a phantom.

"The Great Knight of Humanity..."

Although the Great Knight was no match for it.

But it didn't want to cause trouble, so it decided to escape from the place first.

The skull, shattered by the black dagger, began to gradually recover.

For a secondary vampire like it, although it cannot regenerate from a pile of flesh like the original vampire, it is not afraid of such a mere "fatal wound".

Li Wei stared at the monster, where white bones suddenly protruded from its ribs, connected to bright red fleshy wings.

"They really are vampires! Damn it!"

Li Wei unleashed two more black blades, shooting them directly towards the vampire.

Bang, bang!

The vampire cried out in pain, roared angrily, flapped its wings, and took flight, but it did not flee.

Instead, it flew towards Li Wei's direction.

It didn't want to fight in the first place; it was this reckless knight who forced it to.

As a noble vampire, one should not live in the shadow of humans forever!

It also never agreed with the "elder's" idea of ​​peaceful coexistence with humans. It had had enough of drinking animal blood every day like a human ascetic!

Humans believe that those who are not of our kind must have different hearts.

Why should vampires follow the wishes of humans?

Vampires are clearly more powerful and belong to a higher level of life, while humans are merely lowly prey.

Now it can sense that the power from the supreme "Will of the Blood River" is gradually approaching this world.

At that time, even more powerful true original vampires than the "Elders" will descend upon this world.

Vampires no longer need to live in the shadows.

Vampires should live in this world with their heads held high!

Humans, as a food source, should have a sense of awareness about food!

Its wings pierced the air as it charged toward Li Wei.
