In the following days, Daniel and Blade teamed up to sweep Dekeon Frost's territory.
Blade was responsible for charging into battle and dealing damage, while Daniel focused on finishing off enemies and securing kills, a clear division of labor.
As the number of Vampires they killed rapidly increased, their fearsome reputation spread like a plague throughout the entire Vampire community.
Some Vampires even gave them a resounding nickname—Black and White Impermanence!
black & white - double - kill!
Perhaps their actions were too high-profile.
Starting on the third day of their team-up, they noticed a significant decrease in the number of Vampires.
Often, only a dozen or so Vampires remained guarding a territory, and at the slightest disturbance, they would immediately flee, abandoning their territory entirely.
After clearing out another almost empty territory, Daniel finally received a system prompt.
"Mission 'Ghost Sweeping Operation' settlement complete!"
"Total Vampires killed: 1234"
"Rewards obtained: 2000 Experience Points, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +50, Equipment 'Gravity Boots', Item 'Amaterasu's Sealing Scroll', Item 'Coin of Destiny'"
"Equipment: Gravity Boots (Allows free movement on any flat surface after wearing, provided the activation button is pressed, otherwise there is a certain risk of breaking a leg)"
"Item: Amaterasu's Sealing Scroll (A scroll sealing Amaterasu, can be used on a designated target)"
"Item: Coin of Destiny (50% chance to trigger Life Recovery after use, 50% chance to trigger Lightning Heavenly Scourge)"
"Player, do you wish to skip the plot and activate subsequent missions?"
There are follow-up missions?
Daniel didn't think much and directly chose to skip.
"NPC Fury has issued you a new mission."
"Mission: Blood God Sacrifice"
"Objective: End the conspiracy of the Vampire leader Dekeon Frost."
"Rewards: 5000 Experience Points, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +100, Random Skill *1, Random Equipment *2, Random Item *3"
Although it wasn't a main quest, the rewards were quite generous.
Just in time, Blade had already tracked Dekeon Frost's stronghold these past few days, so Daniel immediately decided to set off with Blade.
The next morning.
According to intelligence, Daniel and Blade arrived at a completely sealed private building.
The entire building resembled a steel fortress; all windows were firmly covered by heavy metal gates, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Daniel looked at the building from a distance: "Are Vampires that rich?"
Blade snorted: "There are plenty of rich people who want to become Vampires."
The wealthier people are, the more they fear death; for eternal life and youth, they are willing to pay any price.
Daniel looked at Blade curiously: "Then why are you so poor?"
Blade: "..."
I am a half-human, half-Vampire, a new species, not counted!
Next, the two began to formulate a plan.
Their plan was simple: first, infiltrate the building, and the rest would be improvised!
It could be said to be a very rigorous plan!
Daniel suggested: "To prevent Dekeon Frost from escaping, you go in from downstairs, and I'll go in from upstairs. The two of us will surround the entire building."
Two people surrounding the entire building, that's cool, I like it!
Blade silently approved but then asked: "But how do you plan to get up there? This building is at least fifty stories high."
Daniel didn't explain. He squatted down, pressed the switch on his new Gravity Boots, then moved to the edge of the building, raised his foot, and stepped onto the vertical wall.
The next moment, Daniel's feet were as steady as if he were walking on flat ground, standing firmly on the wall.
Blade was completely dumbfounded.
He hadn't studied; could anyone tell him if this was scientific?
With the help of the Gravity Boots, Daniel easily reached the building's rooftop. As soon as he poked his head up, he heard a burst of explosive music. A group of Vampires was having a party around the swimming pool.
Daniel was a bit speechless.
Do these Vampires have no other hobbies? Why are they always partying?
He pulled out a megaphone and shouted down: "Hello! Everyone look at me! I have an announcement to make!"
All the Vampires instinctively looked up towards the edge of the rooftop upon hearing the sound. They saw half of Daniel's head peeking out and were instantly bewildered.
This was the fifty-something floor; how did this guy climb up here?
Before they could react, several cylindrical objects suddenly dropped among them.
"Shit! It's a flashbang!!"
Boom!!
Blindingly bright light instantly erupted!
The Vampires were caught off guard and hit squarely by the flash!
Although Vampires have strong self-healing abilities, being flashed like that was still quite debilitating. They were blinded, deafened, snot and tears streaming down their faces, all instantly losing their ability to resist.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!
Daniel flipped over and jumped off the platform, pulled out his golden desert eagle, and continuously fired at this group of Vampires suffering from various DEBUFFs!
He had already switched to silver bullets. A dozen or so Vampires had their heads blown open, instantly turning into ashes and scattering with the wind.
The remaining Vampires frantically tried to grab their guns to retaliate, but they were still in a blinded state. The bullets they fired either went nowhere or hit their companions nearby, creating a chaotic scene.
Daniel stood still, picking off the remaining Vampires one by one, leaving only the last one for questioning.
"Where is Dekeon Frost?"
"Dekeon what?"
"Dekeon Frost."
"What Frost?"
"..."
Bang!
Daniel shot and killed this Vampire elder.
It seemed he had overestimated the Vampire's self-healing ability; the deafness caused by the flashbang lasted surprisingly long.
Daniel opened the communicator by his ear: "This is Daniel, I have successfully infiltrated the building, no one has discovered my whereabouts, Over."
"I've also infiltrated, hmm. No one has discovered my whereabouts either."
Blade's voice came from the other end of the communicator, along with intense sounds of fighting.
Daniel nodded: "Very good, now we'll split up and search for Frost's whereabouts."
Subsequently, Daniel found the stairwell and walked down the stairs.
Tap tap tap tap—!
Rapid, dense footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor. Dozens of fully armed Vampires appeared in view.
Their equipment was excellent: they wore bulletproof helmets, bulletproof vests, and were each equipped with automatic rifles; they clearly looked like a professional team.
Seeing Daniel's figure, this group of Vampires didn't hesitate at all and immediately raised their muzzles!
Da da da da da—!
Clusters of flames erupted, and dense firepower surged towards Daniel!
Daniel performed a tactical roll and hid behind cover.
The Vampires were experienced. While maintaining continuous suppressive fire, they formed a tactical formation and steadily advanced towards the cover where Daniel was hiding.
Just as they were about to close in on the cover, a grenade suddenly flew out from behind a pillar, rolling precisely to the front of their team.
"Watch out for the grenade!"
A Vampire exclaimed.
However, the expected explosion did not occur.
With a hiss, the grenade released a large amount of thick yellow smoke, which rapidly spread through the enclosed corridor!
"Fuck! It's a concentrated garlic essence grenade!!"
The Vampires' faces changed dramatically, and they tried to retreat in terror.
But it was too late. The yellow garlic essence smoke, like maggots clinging to bones, instantly engulfed them. Their bodies burst into flames, emitting heartbreaking screams, and then turned into piles of ash.
Vampires have extremely tenacious vitality but are also very fragile.
Even ordinary people, as long as they possess weapons like garlic essence and pure silver, can easily instantly kill Vampires.
Not to mention Daniel, a player, with absolutely counter-effective weapons and equipment, it was almost like playing against bots.
After dealing with the Vampire armed forces, Daniel searched the upper floors for Dekeon Frost's traces but found nothing.
So, he contacted Blade again.
"Blade, how's your situation, have you found anything?"
"Yes, I found my deceased mother resurrected."
Daniel: "?"
