Salute To The General

Chapter 3144



Aaryan's strike was as quick as lightning. The speed was shocking.

The moment it struck Nathan, Aaryan's eyes gleamed with glee. The sword had pierced Nathan's jugular artery. No one-not even the gods-could save him now.

Never in Aaryan's wildest dreams did he expect to succeed with his first strike.

Everything happened so quickly that it left him dumbfounded.

Could I have overestimated Nathan? Perhaps he's not as powerful as described in the rumors? Perhaps he's not like what I imagined.

All those thoughts occurred to him in a flash.

Shortly after his rose rapier was thrust out, he felt something was amiss.

Though Aaryan saw the rapier had stabbed Nathan, the former did not feel any feedback one usually got from stabbing a physical object.

It was as if he had stabbed into the air.

In the next second, he realized Nathan's figure was fading and disappearing.

I stabbed the mirage Nathan left behind!

It turned out that Nathan was moving so fast that Aaryan could not catch up with his figure.

Visually, Nathan was still standing in the same spot. In reality, Nathan had already vanished.

It was only when Aaryan realized he had stabbed a mirage Nathan left behind that he sensed something was off.

The realization set off the alarm bells in his head.

Suddenly, he felt a slight change in the airflow on the right side of his face. At the same time, his right ear also caught an almost inaudible sound of a weapon tearing through the air.

Nathan was on Aaryan's right, and his weapon was coming the latter's way.

Aaryan's face turned pale with fright. Even so, he was still a vampire duke with powerful capabilities comparable to a vampire prince.

At that critical moment, his solid foundation and experience in combat saved him.

Aaryan had no time to turn and find out the exact direction where Nathan's weapon was coming from. All he could do was rely on the wind to estimate the velocity and speed of the attack.

Gathering all his strength, he lifted his rose rapier to block the attack.

Clang!

A thunderous clash of weapons echoed across the area.

Although Aaryan had blocked Nathan's attack, he still skidded several meters backward from the impact before steadying himself.

Phew. That was close. I almost got killed by Nathan right after meeting him.

Beads of sweat formed on Aaryan's forehead.

Aaryan could sense the subtle condescendence in Nathan's tone.

"You asked for it, Nathan. You'd better not regret this. I'm going to let you have a taste of my true powers."

With that, he looked up at the sky and let out a roar.

His body began transforming, becoming more muscular at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He was no longer his handsome self; he looked as ferocious as a beast.

Even his shirt was ripped apart by his bulging muscles.

On his back sprung two skeletal wings.

They were the mark of a vampire king.

At that moment, Aaryan, who was two and a half meters tall and as strong as a bull, was wielding his rose rapier while huffing out steam from his nostrils. Snorting coldly, he stated, "Nathan, our battle has just begun." Content belongs

Right then, the clear sky became dark.

The sun was hidden in the gloomy sky. All that was visible were two glimmering dots that looked like a pair of eyes watching the battle. Nathan furrowed his brows slightly and glanced at the sky.

Aaryan, too, was rather surprised, and he secretly grew excited.

Patriarch Herod must've sensed that I'm fighting with a human elite. That's why he used Celestial Eyes, the vampire clan's secret technique.

At that moment, Herod was watching Aaryan fighting Nathan from thousands of miles away.

Aaryan swore in his heart that he would not humiliate himself in front of Herod.

I must kill Nathan and win Patriarch Herod's approval.
