Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Upgrade!

Under Daniel's continuous fatal blows, Frost was in agony!

He struggled to resist but found Daniel's strength astonishingly great. Even with the power of the Blood God, he was firmly suppressed!

Is this guy really human?!

Frost roared frantically in his heart, but the intense pain and the disadvantage in strength left him helpless.

Although the power of the Blood God granted him almost abnormal self-healing abilities, the improvement in his basic physical strength was quite limited, at most a notch above Blade.

Against a pure stat monster like Daniel, Frost couldn't gain any advantage.

What alarmed him even more was that as his body continuously healed and repaired its wounds, he clearly felt the power of the Blood God within him gradually diminishing!

If this continued, his power of the Blood God would eventually be depleted!

"I must leave here!"

Involuntarily, the thought of escaping arose in Frost's mind.

"As long as I escape and consume enough fresh blood, my power of the Blood God will recover and become even stronger! Then it won't be too late to return and crush this damned human!"

The power of the Blood God had another characteristic: the more blood consumed, the stronger the power became.

That's why Frost had consumed the blood of those Vampire subordinates at the start.

Otherwise, did he really think he liked eating raw food?

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Frost's eyes!

Crack!

He endured the tearing pain in his groin and suddenly exerted force, forcefully twisting his own neck!

Using the momentary gap created by this self-mutilation, he immediately broke free from Daniel's grip. Without even waiting for his neck to fully recover, he twisted his body with his head eerily askew, turning around without a care and bursting out with all his speed, madly rushing towards the exit!

The scene was bizarre and grotesque!

"Don't even think about running!"

Blade, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately rushed out from the flank to intercept, his silver longsword fiercely slashing at Frost.

However, at this moment, Frost only had the exit in his eyes.

He didn't dodge or evade, allowing the silver longsword to cut deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body. His speed didn't diminish in the slightest. He stomped his feet hard on the ground, leaping high like a cannonball, aiming directly for the platform leading to the exit!

Seeing the exit right before his eyes, a look of wild joy couldn't help but appear on Frost's askew head:

"You want to kill me, Frost? It's not that easy!!"

Whoosh—!

A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out!

A Rocket trailing an orange-red tail flame accurately struck Frost, who was in mid-air with nowhere to exert leverage!

Boom!!!

A violent explosion erupted in mid-air!

Frost, charred and smoking all over, fell from a height, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Before his wounds could heal, he saw Daniel walk to a nearby spot, unfolding a strangely shaped scroll in his hand.

On the scroll were densely packed, eerie characters, surrounding a large 'Seal' character in the middle.

"Unseal!"

As Daniel's words fell, the 'Seal' character on the scroll quickly ignited.

The next moment, a large ball of black Fire surged out from the sealed scroll, instantly pouncing onto Frost and completely setting him ablaze!

"Ah ah ah ah—!"

Frost, completely covered by the strange black Fire, let out a mournful shriek!

Under the terrifying high temperature, his body carbonized and cracked at a visible speed. His skin and flesh rapidly melted and peeled off, revealing charred and twisted bones and smoking internal organs—a truly gruesome sight!

Frost rolled frantically on the ground in pain, trying to extinguish the black Fire on his body.

But this black Fire was like maggots clinging to bone, stubbornly adhering to every inch of his flesh, showing no signs of weakening no matter how much he slapped or rolled.

Frost didn't know that this black Fire, named Amaterasu, had the characteristic of never extinguishing until it completely incinerated its target!

Although the power of the Blood God within Frost frantically repaired his injuries, Amaterasu's speed of burning and destruction was equally astonishing, causing his body to repeatedly seesaw between destruction and repair.

In Daniel's sight, the long red health bar above Frost's head was rapidly shrinking at a visible speed!

His health bar was already bottoming out!

"No no no!!"

Feeling the power of the Blood God completely exhausted within him, Frost let out one last desperate and unwilling cry.

The next moment, he was completely incinerated by Amaterasu, turning into ashes and scattering with the wind.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Blade spat wildly. He was standing downwind and accidentally got some ashes in his mouth.

At the same time.

The system's voice echoed in Daniel's mind.

[Task 'End the Vampire leader Dekeon Frost's conspiracy' settlement complete!]

[Item: Power of the Blood God (Special quest item. Using it can unlock a special quest. Difficulty is high; use with caution below Level 30.)]

"Power of the Blood God?"

Daniel's eyebrows twitched.

Isn't this Frost's ability?

However, seeing the subsequent prompt, he temporarily dismissed the idea of using it, as he was still some distance from Level 30.

Just then, the system's voice rang out again.

[Congratulations, player, you have successfully leveled up!]

He leveled up!

Daniel immediately opened his personal panel.

[Player: Daniel]

[Level: 20 (0 / 52000)]

[Attributes: Strength 60, Agility 30, Constitution 40, Spirit 20]

[Allocatable Free Attribute Points: 10]

[Skills: Eye of Death, Thai Boxing Warning, Leap of Faith, Breathing Health Regen, Parry.]

[Equipment: golden desert eagle, Sun Halo Blade, Frying Pan, Gravity Boots]

Each level-up grants 5 free attribute points. Coupled with the 5 unallocated points accumulated before, he now had a total of 10 free attribute points.

Daniel didn't think much and directly allocated them as 5 points to Strength, 2 to Agility, and 3 to Constitution.

This game had no attribute point allocation restrictions.

Even if all points were put into Strength to reach 100, with other attributes only at 10 points, there wouldn't be situations like "exploding himself with one punch."

In previous quests, Daniel had also obtained some free attribute points, almost all of which were added to the three core attributes: Strength, Agility, and Constitution.

Strength was his pursuit, Agility could be compensated by Eye of Death, and Constitution was for higher survival rate.

After all, being in the free U.S., one could encounter gunfights or even nuclear attacks at any time. Without high Constitution, there was truly no sense of security.

As for the Spirit attribute, Daniel hadn't yet discovered its use and hadn't added any points to it after reaching 20.

And after Daniel finished allocating his attributes, the system's voice rang out yet again.

[S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation has reached its cap. You can accept the identity advancement quest from NPC Fury.]
