SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Evolution is a beautiful thing

A deafening shockwave rolled through the hall as the blood lance pierced straight through Vak’Rath’s core, exploding from his back in a splatter of molten blood. Damon hurriedly absorbed all of his blood essence.

As the last of Vak’Rath’s essence poured into Damon, the Flamelord let out a final, pitiful shriek, and his towering body crumbled inward, collapsing in a pile of scorched armor and dimmed embers. A burst of golden light signaled the mini-boss’s defeat.

The dungeon’s heat slowly began to fade. Lava receded into the earth as the runes dimmed to a soft crimson. Silence fell once more.

"Ready for round two?" Damon winked. He tossed both the items to Mark, but Mark shook his head. "Can’t use it. Need fire affinity."

"Ok then. Guess I will be taking them."

"You have fire affinity?" Kate raised a brow.

"Ya. A little." Damon briefly answered. The two still did not know just what sort of an ability he possessed. He decided to let them find out on their own.

Damon checked the stats on the items.
