Hard Resistance!

Vampire are very powerful creatures.

Because Greater Vampire are creatures comparable to Lich, they are born with the ability to [Dominate Person], can [Change Shape] into bats, gases, monsters, etc., and can [Energy Drain] to reduce the enemy's class level by two when attacking. Their innate racial characteristics give them high [Damage Reduction] capabilities. At the same time, their minions are considered [Natural Magic Weapon]. They themselves possess the characteristic of [Fast Healing], have a minimum [12 Hit Die Base], the same level as Barbarian, and also have [innate extra armor +6]. They are [Son of Night], can [Create Spawn], and after transforming into Vampire, they gain [strength +6, agility +4, intelligence +2, perception +2, charm +4], and so on.

However!

All of the above are actually useless!

The Vampire God Child was still being chased like a dog by Soren, hacking and slashing everywhere. All his corrupting abilities were completely ignored by Soren's incredibly powerful Saving Throw Resistance. [Dominate Person], [Energy Drain], [Shapechanging Ability], [Natural Magic Weapon], [Fast Healing], [Damage Reduction] —Soren wielded his two-handed sword like a windmill. No matter how high your Damage Reduction, no matter how amazing your regeneration, once you were touched by the Holy Avenger, he would teach you a lesson in no time!

There's a saying, "In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken!"

Soren had no doubt that, given his current explosive power, even if someone were firing a machine gun at him relentlessly, he felt confident he could withstand the bullets.

This moment!

He finally began to understand what it felt like for that Legendary Swordmaster War of Golems, as he charged forward while using his sword to block bullets.

Undeniably!

Although Soren chose the path of the Rogue, he was actually greatly influenced by the Sword Swordmaster. He had the same pursuit of perfection as the Swordmaster, but he lacked the Sword Swordmaster's unwavering belief in the face of death. It was only when Soren sought to balance lethality with survival that he chose the path of the Rogue.

Perhaps all melee-based classes have been influenced by the Swordmaster to some extent.

After all, the existence of the Swordmaster is itself a benchmark!

Speed, strength, explosiveness, resistance, damage, and opportunity are all available.

Soren had absolutely no doubt about it!

If he can't kill the Vampire God Child today, it will be even harder for him to kill him in the future. This is a golden opportunity. He obtained the Tier 5 Artifact [Holy Avenger] under these circumstances, and he also has a bunch of Paladin supporting him. He doesn't have to face the cannon fodder of the Vampire Church's followers, nor does he have to worry about others interfering with his battle. In a sense, this kind of opportunity is almost impossible to replicate. Soren must seize this opportunity no matter what.

--"Shadow Jump!"

--"Sword Momentum: Waist Cut!"

Soren wields two-handed swords with effortless grace. His Versatile Hands allow him to wield any weapon with ease. More importantly, Soren's combat techniques are extremely brutal, all relying on heavy weapons. Whether it's the Sword Momentum: Heavy Slash, Sword Momentum: Decapitation, Sword Momentum: Waist Cut, Sword Momentum: Whirlwind Dance, or other combat techniques, almost without exception, they cannot be performed with small or light weapons.

Two-handed weapons are more satisfying than one-handed weapons!

Especially when using the Sword Momentum: Waist Cut and Sword Momentum: Decapitation, the Vampire God Child didn't even dare to take a direct hit.

Clang!

The holy light exploded like fireworks, and the Vampire God Child's expression grew increasingly ferocious, until he was completely insane. He had long since lost his initial handsome and dashing noble bearing; now he was disheveled, ragged, and utterly wretched. His pupils gradually turned red with rage and madness, his face becoming a grim and terrifying pale-blue. Clearly defined fangs finally appeared at the corners of his mouth, his facial features became cold and Cruelty, his jawline sharpened, and dark blue-black nails appeared on his fingers. His skin also seemed to have a metallic sheen.

--"Vampire Form!"

Soren's second outburst finally enraged the Vampire God Child, causing him to lose his handsome and elegant appearance and reveal his true Vampire Form.

"Damn you! I'll tear you to pieces!"

In his Vampire form, Reinhard's speed was significantly increased. His dark blue claws were covered with an indescribable energy glow. If other Vampire possessed claws equivalent to ' Natural Magic Weapon,' then as the God of Vampires, his claws must have reached the standard of Legendary weapons or higher.

Clang!

Just as Soren had predicted, the Vampire God Child Parry Soren's attack with his claws.

The two collided with a metallic sound, but one thing was obvious: a clear sword mark appeared on the Vampire God Child's claw, along with traces of Divine Energy burning. Although the healing speed was fast, the suppressive effect of the Holy Avenger was still quite obvious. Soren, on the other hand, had no problem wielding the Holy Avenger. After the collision, Soren suffered no damage, but the Vampire God Child suffered 10 points of Divine Damage and 15 points of Shadow Erosion damage.

Shadow Assassination takes effect as soon as it makes contact with an enemy.

The damage didn't all hit the Vampire God Child; the shield effect of the Divine Energy Field was still active. The opponent relied on his powerful regeneration to withstand some of the damage, while the rest was transferred to the Energy Shield.

"We must break through his Protection Threshold!"

Soren's pupils contracted slightly, and he vanished from his spot once more. The next moment, the radiance of the Holy Avenger swept towards the Vampire God Child before him like a whirlwind.

Clang!

Click!

A distinct cracking sound rang out, and Soren severed half of the Vampire God Child's claw.

The Divine Energy Field has weakened!

Soren's frenzied attacks were constantly weakening the strength of the Divine Energy Field. As one of the most powerful weapons in the Material Plane, the Holy Avenger could deal nearly a hundred points of damage even when used against the Spider Queen. Although the Vampire God Child possessed a shield of Divine Energy Field, after enduring so many attacks, he was finally on the verge of collapse.

A look of anxiety appeared on the face of the Hell Poet.

He didn't know who the guy who suddenly appeared was, but he knew that guy was extremely difficult to deal with. Even the Vampire God Child in his Avatar Form was suppressed by him like this, and the Hell Poet even doubted that he could withstand a few rounds of his attacks. But now, even if he wanted to help, he had no way to do so. The Warden in front of him had him pinned down. No matter how much of an advantage he gained, one thing remained unchanged: the Paladin had a clear advantage, and the Warden in front of him was a legendary Legendary had been famous for hundreds of years.

Want to leave?

The Hell Poet had no doubt that the other party was capable of capturing him, and even took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the already injured Vampire God Child.

But the fighting cannot continue like this.

He had to provide support to the Vampire God Child. Otherwise, Reinhard's defeat was only a matter of time; that madman who suddenly appeared seemed to have gone berserk.

--"Praise of Corruption: Legendary Battle Song!"

The Hell Poet finally abandoned relying on <Prologue to Hell> to interfere with and kill the enemy, and instead chose to use <Praise of Corruption> to enhance the Vampire God Child's abilities.

The situation in the battle is still unpredictable!

Although the Slayer was initially severely wounded by the Holy Avenger, its strength was still beyond the control of ordinary Paladin. If the younger Paladin couldn't hold on any longer, the Slayer would break free. This would be the Hell Poet's opportunity. If the Slayer could distract the enemy even slightly, he could rush in and help the Vampire God Child kill Soren!

Now.

It all comes down to who gives up first!

Are they those young Paladin, or the Vampire God Child currently being completely suppressed by Soren?

In response to this...

The Hell Poet still had some confidence. No matter how badly Reinhard was suppressed, he should be able to hold out longer than those Paladin, right?

The Paladin are indeed in a very bad situation.

Their casualties were already quite severe. They lost the initiative from the initial surprise attack by the Vampire God Child and the Hell Poet. Later, they were hit by a ' Time Stop ', resulting in several deaths and serious injuries. If Soren hadn't appeared at that crucial moment, they would likely have been wiped out. Although Soren has suppressed the Vampire God Child and influenced the battle, their situation hasn't improved significantly.

The Warden must hold off the Hell Poet.

The Legendary priest perished under the ' Time Stop '. The remaining young Paladin, though all of high rank, were forced to hold off the heavily wounded yet increasingly frenzied Xenomorph Demon!

Holding off this terrifying monster is extremely difficult.

How else can we stall?

They'd drag it with their lives!

The surviving young Paladin were practically risking their lives!

One figure stood out prominently among them. He wore mottled silver-white armor and stood on the front line, directly confronting the Slayer. The weathered look of his body gave his still somewhat youthful face a sense of vicissitude. His injuries were actually quite severe, with drops of bright red blood sliding down his fingertips, but he still did not retreat an inch.

Because he can't!

In this situation, if he retreats, everyone will die here!

Blood, exhaustion, pain.

He had long since unconsciously grown accustomed to these things. From the moment he left the City of Wealth, he had walked tens of thousands of miles, enduring wind and rain along the way, witnessing far too many things he could never have imagined before. He had fallen into depravity and lost his way, but he had rediscovered his faith. He finally understood why the older Paladin's eyes always held a hint of sorrow, for his own heart had begun to fill with grief!

He did not lose his way, nor did he fall into depravity; his beliefs grew stronger, and his will became as firm as steel!

but.

His heart was still filled with sorrow. He hadn't given up on Justice; he just didn't know what was wrong with this world... (To be continued~^~)
