SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Fighting with a new set of skills

Damon did not bother with the long-range and took the fight right to the undead. The rewards were probably dependent on how many NPCs he could save, and if he was going to attempt this quest, then he might as well go for the max rewards.

Damon lunged into the horde like a man possessed. His feet pounded the earth as he crashed straight into the thickest cluster of undead, shadow daggers flashing like twin stars. The air exploded in a mess of ichor and twisted bone.

One slash to the throat. Spin. Backstep. Blink. Elbow to the jaw. Follow-up stab through the eye socket. _{freēwebnovel.com}

[Combo Chain Extended: x7]

[Aggro Redirection Successful: +15 Morale to Nearby NPCs]

He was a storm. Not a defender. Not a savior. Something darker. Something hungry.

"Wait. Why am I using shadow attacks?" Damon grinned as he started to switch to the skills he had robbed from the priest and the paladin players.

His body tingled as the mana that coursed through his body fueled the divine and holy skills. [Minor Heal], [Blessed Heal], [Touch of Light]... He started throwing all of the new skills in his repertoire.

He stabbed one undead through the chest with a shadow dagger, then immediately followed it with a glowing palm pressed to the creature’s rotted forehead. [Touch of Light] erupted outward in a flash of radiant energy, disintegrating it on the spot and searing two more that got too close.

[Divine Damage x2: Effective Bonus – Undead Type]

"Yup, even though I cannot bring out the full potential of the skill without any divine or light affinity, it’s still making the fight a lot faster." Damon quickly took out a bunch of items he had farmed from the siege and switched out his shadow affinity gear with the holy and divine items.

This further packed a punch in his attacks.

[Divine Shield]! Damon swung his sword in one hand and used a radiant shield in the other hand to hold back a particularly large undead.

Behind him, the outpost guards, barely level 30, watched wide-eyed as Damon tore through enemies twice his level like paper.

A few of them rallied, emboldened by the carnage. They pushed forward, joining the fight instead of cowering behind. More and more arrows and projectiles started raining down on the undead. Even though their damage power wasn’t much, the chip damage was quickly adding up.

More importantly, the NPC death counter in the corner of Damon’s interface remained blessedly still.

Good.

That meant the rewards were still in play.

He had no idea what tier this questline was, but if it was anything like the ones he remembered from his past life, the more outpost members he saved, the higher the bonus, and the more likely the next phase would unlock.
