SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Slam them together

Damon did not wait any longer and immediately [Shadowstepped] next to the boss. Long-range was simply not going to cut it any longer. If they did not wipe out the boss within the next couple of seconds, he was going to get an insane regenerative buff, which might as well be the rebirth skill of the other guy.

If that happened, with both the snake and the boss still in play, and the insane heat of the environment, they were simply going to get wiped out despite their overwhelming advantage. At the end of the day, a 30-player raid party required at least 20 players.

However, Damon was not anxious just yet. He had a backup plan. Well, he did not have a backup plan when they started, but now a plan sort of formed in his head.

As soon as he appeared behind the boss, Damon used his axe to strike a blow at the great lord. The Emberbrand Axe ignited mid-swing, trailing a blazing arc as Damon brought it down with all the momentum he could muster.

The edge met Ignaros’s back in a brutal clash of power, flames, blood, and raw force exploding on impact. A chunk of molten armor shattered off, exposing burning flames underneath. The boss shrieked, body trembling as another chunk of his health disappeared.

But it was nowhere near enough to end it right then and there.

Damon decided to go with the plan. The next moment, he put away the axe. Instead, he summoned a blood lance in his right hand, and at the same time, he summoned a ball of fire in his left hand.

"Let’s see if this works."

Damon then slammed both his hands forward simultaneously, thrusting the [Blood Lance] into the exposed boss’s back while hurling the empowered fireball directly into the same point.

The two spells struck in perfect sync.

The result was detonation.

A violent, elemental rupture exploded outward as the fire spell fed off the blood magic, and the blood magic fed off the ambient heat and fire affinity Damon had accumulated. The convergence wasn’t neat, but it worked.

A brief system error flickered in his vision:

[Ding! You have learned a new skill.]

Damon ignored it and continued with the attack. He poured mana, blood energy, and rage into back-to-back attacks and finally...

CRACK!

A massive fissure ripped through Ignaros’s chest. His body erupted in gouts of uncontrollable flame. The twin suns in his eyes dimmed. His hands trembled as he reached toward the serpent that was now half-risen from the lava.

"No..." Ignaros groaned. "I am... the End...!"

"Shut it." Damon immediately grabbed the guy and sucked in his blood essence, not wasting a single drop. The serpent roared in anger and lunged towards him, but before it could reach him, Mark arrived like an insurmountable mountain, standing between the serpent and Damon.

As the colossal serpent lunged with a hiss that could shatter bones and stone, Mark met it head-on. The veins of light pulsing through his arms blazed like lightning trapped inside a living forge, and his right fist shot forward like a hammer thrown by a god.

BOOM!

The impact didn’t stop the serpent, but it did stagger it. A wave of force rippled out, knocking chunks of molten debris loose from the cavern ceiling and causing the lava pool to ripple as if startled. The serpent reared back with a hiss of fury, coils surging high into the chamber, but Mark held firm, defiant, a singular wall between the dying boss and the rising monster.

Behind him, Damon’s eyes glowed red as the final threads of Ignaros’s essence flowed into him like liquid fire.
