Satisfy's 8th Development Team Leader, Ashley Tosun, was one of the thirty-three scientists who had built the virtual reality system alongside Lim Cheolho. Within the company, he was known as the Father of Vampires—the man who had designed the vampire race in Satisfy.
Naturally, Elfin Stone was also his creation.
If enemies threatened a vampire city, Elfin Stone would repeat the act of murdering the strongest being once every twenty-four hours for seven consecutive days. After losing their strongest members one after another, invading forces would fall into panic, lose morale, and ultimately be annihilated.
However…
"This is crazy."
The 13th Vampire City was among the highest-difficulty cities out of the fifteen. When Ashley monitored Alan's entry, he had been one hundred percent certain of his failure.
Yet now, doubt crept into his mind.
It was because Indomitable Warrior had completely neutralized Elfin Stone's defining characteristics.
Among the vampires, Elfin Stone was actually the weakest in terms of raw stats. His attack power, magic power, and defense were inferior compared to other raid bosses. However, his versatility, combined with the skill Extreme Blood Transfusion, made him the most troublesome of all Beriache's Children.
"This is really…"
Ashley was at a loss for words.
He had designed Elfin Stone to be a group nemesis. The greater the number of players present, the stronger Elfin Stone became.
All of his skills revolved around draining the health of raiders and converting it into his own vitality. But as Ashley watched Player Alan fight, he finally understood why Morpheus had predicted a 100% victory rate.
"He is truly something else."
Ashley, who had once scoffed at Morpheus' prediction, now watched Alan with complete focus.
"He's clearly going to win. I designed Elfin Stone to be the nemesis of raid parties—but Alan walked in alone, nullifying both of his greatest skills," Ashley murmured.
Elfin Stone's offensive skill Extreme Blood Transfusion, and his strongest support skill Blood Field—which drained 200–500 HP per second from all targets within the field and transferred it to Elfin Stone—were rendered meaningless.
Against a single player, these skills were insignificant. Against multiple players, they provided overwhelming regeneration.
Yet now, both had been completely neutralized.
"Elfin Stone is the same level as Hell Gao. And Player Alan is far stronger now than when he fought Hell Gao… it's obvious he will win."
Ashley couldn't help but sigh.
Among the vampire cities, Elfin Stone was supposed to be the first great hurdle.
Yet he had been neutralized so easily—by a single player.

At the same time, a system announcement echoed before all the players.
It was an World announcement as the Legendary magic was used for the first time after so long abd by a player none the less.
[Legendary magic has shown its power. The world is withering.]
A moment later, another message followed.
[Goddess Rebecca has shown her might. After the effects of legendary magic have been removed, the world has returned to normal.]
The forums were silent for few seconds and then in an instant it exploded everyone begun to talk about the legendary magic, while back at Vampire city.
Goddess Rebecca light extended only to the world itself—not to Elfin Stone.
Dark green miasma clung to his body, corroding his existence.
"You human… you have angered me," Elfin Stone hissed, drawing a crimson crystal sword. The Sword look liked a art work but its pity Elfin Stone is not going to get any chance to use it..
"I am not done yet" Alan replied with a smile. "Sapphire."
"Nyaa~~!"
Once again, Elfin Stone was struck by Soul Ingestion.
[A part of the target's soul has been devoured by Sapphire.]

[Your Intelligence has increased by 1,890 points for 3 seconds.]
[Target's Resistance has drastically decreased.]

Elfin Stone trembled as Alan's intelligence surged to terrifying levels.
"Pagam Sword Dance: Restraint!"
Alan activated the sealing technique, locking Elfin Stone in place.
"Not again—!" Elfin Stone shouted as he was stunned once more—this time for five seconds.
"Blood Shield!"
A mass of condensed blood formed around Elfin Stone in a desperate attempt at defense.
"Golden Flash."
Alan swung White Lion Dainsleif.
Golden Flash

At Epic rank, it dealt 1000%, but at Unique rank, its power increased to 1500%.

Alan was under the effects of Increased Intelligence and White Lion Roar, boosting his attack power and defense by 60% at Unique rank.
Enhanced further by Purifying Energy, dealing an additional 100% damage to demon-kind (vampires are classified as demons).
The result was instant annihilation.
A dark-golden crescent slash tore through hastily formed Blood Shield, through Elfin Stone, shredding his body into fragments of light.
"Did you really think I'd give you time after that overpowered skill you used on me?" Alan said looking down at him.
Elfin Stone's body disintegrated into pixels.
"Human… just… what… were you…?"
Those were his final words.
