Chapter 30

Both sides stood facing each other, radiating their respective auras. The noble and cold vampire, and the mad and dangerous demon. These two, who would always appear as villains and antagonists in all storybooks, silently radiated their auras, neither willing to take a step back.

— At the same time, a voice came from somewhere:

"Watch out, you two idiots! Are you just standing there waiting to die?!"

Immediately after, a Flomoth flew towards the main succubus and the pale-faced vampire.

"Get down—"

The main succubus and the pale-faced vampire immediately crouched down. The Flomoth flew over their heads.

"Anyway, I will definitely be the victor!" The pale-faced vampire said while lying on the ground.

"Ha, I'll beat you so badly that even your mother won't recognize you." The main succubus said this while lightly slapping the pale-faced vampire's face: "Like this."

"Nobody has ever insulted me, Daniel von—"

Before the pale-faced vampire could finish, the main succubus slapped the other side of his face.

"…" It seemed as if a string in his head had snapped, and the pale-faced vampire let out a "growl" and pounced. Then, mimicking the main succubus's strength and manner, he slapped her face—naturally, the main succubus dodged. But in the next moment, his speed seemed to increase. Before the main succubus could react, a "slap" landed on her face.

Although, because of the mask, and the fact that the force was not great, the main succubus did not feel any pain—however, her pride was severely hurt.

Looking at the pale-faced vampire, who seemed to be saying, "I've taken my revenge, you can't do anything about it, hahaha..." the main succubus also let out a "growl" and pounced on him.

The two of them started fighting in this narrow corner. Both tried to keep their heads as far back as possible and stretch their arms forward. One person's series of slaps were deflected, then the other person took over... It should be mentioned again that because the main succubus wore a mask, she had an absolute advantage in this fight.

...

Half an hour later. All the commotion on the battlefield had subsided. The main succubus's silver mask seemed to be slightly dented. After all, silver is a very soft metal. The pale-faced vampire's face seemed to be slightly swollen, but it was "seemed" because vampires have very strong recovery abilities.

It should also be mentioned that the pale-faced vampire's hands were more swollen than his face—because the main succubus's mask was made of silver.

That's how it was. Outside, there was a circle of various demons and non-demons lying around. The main succubus and the pale-faced vampire slowly, slowly stood up again, looking at each other. Their breathing was a bit heavy, after all, they had just gone through a tough battle.

It was at this moment that the arena staff came to collect the bodies.

When they saw the main succubus and the pale-faced vampire standing amidst the pile of corpses, seemingly unharmed and without any bloodstains, the staff members were slightly stunned. But they quickly lost interest and ignored them.

So the main succubus and the pale-faced vampire felt a bit bored. They could continue fighting, but the atmosphere seemed a bit off... so they decided to retreat.

"Hmph, since you foolishly chose to be my enemy, be prepared."

"Next time, I'll beat your unlucky face hard!"

After exchanging these threats, the pale-faced vampire and the main succubus left the arena together and went in different directions at the entrance.

"... Wait, I don't think I've registered yet." The main succubus suddenly remembered this and turned back to the arena.

It must be said that the arena staff were very efficient. In the time it took, all the bodies in the front hall of the arena had disappeared. And the staff member, who seemed to be the same person but with a rosy complexion and radiant skin, and most importantly, a very good attitude, quickly and energetically helped the main succubus complete all the registration procedures after learning that she was there to register.

In addition, the main succubus received a so-called beginner's big gift package—whiteboard broken longsword, whiteboard broken leather armor, whiteboard broken shield, double experience for eleven days, three days' worth of water and food, a 0-3 level spell material pack, and a bottle of light injury healing potion...

It felt like a third-rate adventurer, sponsored by everyone in the village, starting their adventure. The kind of journey to find their father, mother, sister, or to save the world, where they overcome obstacles and mysteriously defeat the great demon and save the world.

"Che, garbage."

After flipping through these items and finding that most were useless to her, the main succubus directly threw the so-called big gift package into a ditch.

Don't joke, there wasn't a single magical item in there. The food, water, and spell materials together weren't worth a gold coin. Double experience, if she could win this arena competition, she could instantly become a top gladiator. There was no need for such trouble. The light injury healing potion did have some value, but she didn't need it.

"But, there's still some time before the arena tournament starts. During this time, I can try my hand in the arena... and earn some experience."

After making this decision, the main succubus returned to her inn to sleep. As she slept during the day, the pale-faced vampire also returned to the South District, which was their family's ancient castle.

To the south of Nalathar, there was an endless, eternal glacier. For undead beings, there was no climate more beneficial than a cold one. Therefore, the vampire forces, led by the vampire families, usually gathered in the southern part of Nalathar, while the demon forces gathered in the north. Both sides divided Nalathar into two halves along an unwritten, invisible line.

As the most powerful of the many vampire families, the Mocav family's ancient castle, which was equivalent to the leader and even the king, was located in the center of the South District. This was the destination of the pale-faced vampire.

"Master."

"Master has returned."

The vampires, dressed like gentlemen, and their servant-like vampire derivatives, the blood servants, all stopped and greeted him with a bow when they saw the pale-faced vampire. The pale-faced vampire also politely returned their greetings.

Among the vampires and blood servants, there were many sweet-looking young girls and opulent, full-figured noblewomen. They all looked at him with lustful eyes, as if they wanted to swallow him whole. Some even took the opportunity to touch him when they were close to him.

Seeing the pale-faced vampire become embarrassed, they became even more pleased.

Just as the pale-faced vampire was surrounded by the crowd, a coughing sound came from somewhere. Upon hearing this sound, the vampires surrounding him reluctantly left.

"Finally saved. Thank you so much, Uncle Mobius." The pale-faced vampire finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, Master." The middle-aged vampire named Mobius shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of which, is it really okay? Disappointing those young ladies... you are still young, a little indulgence is not a problem."

"Please spare me. I really don't know how to deal with those things." The pale-faced vampire smiled bitterly.

"Alright, compared to that, have you completed the registration?" The middle-aged vampire asked.

"Yes," the pale-faced vampire nodded: "It's done. And I will win."

"That's good." The middle-aged vampire smiled with relief: "You look good today, did something good happen?"

"Sort of. I met an interesting person." The pale-faced vampire said.

"Did you make a new friend?" The middle-aged vampire asked.

"Yes... no, not really." The pale-faced vampire first nodded, then shook his head: "He registered for this hunt. So, he's not a friend."

Hearing this, the middle-aged vampire also put away his smile and said seriously: "Separating public and private matters is very good. So, if you meet that person in the arena, you will definitely defeat him, right?"

"Of course." The pale-faced vampire also answered seriously: "I will thoroughly defeat him and kill him like any other prey, without showing any mercy."
