Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Nikolai slowly pushed through the crowd and outside the door. The exit leads into a complex tunnel behind the slums. To his right, a blocked route, while the left didn't smell like Sarah; instead, it was a disgusting mix of vomit, urine and alcohol.

'Damn, it stinks. What the hell is that stench?!'

The sudden, intense scent caused Nikolai's body to tingle and shudder from the immense smell overwhelming him for a moment.

"Urgh... I almost vomited..."

[Careful, those enemies aren't just simple thralls or weak squires.

'Ah...'

Through the path ahead, he stepped along the floor covered in broken boxes and wet cardboard, and the sound of leaking pipes filled his ears. Yet he could sense them, thanks to his blood art improving the range of his detection increased.

'Devon seems to be taking the girls to another building. However, it's not a club, and there are only a few dozen people inside. I'll message Lucas, but I am entering first.'

The walls were filled with moss, mould and slimy black residue as Nikolai passed through them, his feet squishing garbage and mess, almost ruining his new shoes. He didn't feel disgusted because of his past and Nikolai didn't look down on those trying to survive, but those who gave up too easily.

'It seems they headed into this building?'

A large yellow sign with the letters [Condemned] pasted on the wall outside, while the inside looked like a mess, though maybe once a theatre or some kind of hall people would meet in the past. It had fallen into ruin; the pillars inside supporting the building were chipped away and cracked, ready to fall at any minute.

'What is this...'

[It's because of their foul deeds; their blood is so thin it's become corrupted. They ate too many humans and diluted the bloodline to the limit, and now these could only be called fallen monsters with limited reason and power, but they are deadly to normal humans. Especially in groups:

'That explains why they would make their base here.'

As he thought that, Nikolai carefully walked around the rubbish and rubble, stepping over the debris, and the sound of loud voices coming from above reached him.

'Upstairs, it seems? Is this their home?'

Looking around, he saw the interior was empty except for the broken seats and rotten wood littering the ground, but no signs of anyone living there.

The people who lived in the slums, although poor, wouldn't choose a place like this unless they were forced, and even then, it would be risky because of the building. It could collapse at any moment, and there were no windows, so the wolves using this place must have a good reason for it.

'I should find Sarah quickly and get out.'

Although it was nighttime, the sun wouldn't rise for a few more hours, which was his only saving grace. Because if they wanted to flee, he would have no choice but to let them go because of being unable to catch them well. However, if they were here, at might think it's a dead zone.

'Slowly, there are four enemies ahead. Two are watching the room the women were led into while the other two are actually performing taxes.

This was the culmination of his evil god bloodline—no mortal should have this power, yet that was the lot given to Nikolai, causing his lips to curl into a smirk as his slow pace broke into a sprint towards the first knight, with both arms transformed into beasts.

"Don't resist. You'll just end up a corpse."

As his words echoed and reached the guard, a sharp claw tore through his skin like a meat skewer, shredding his flesh, and his head exploded as his body collapsed.

[Agility increased by 2]

Nikolai turned, sensing an enemy behind him, and lashed out with his right arm, a horrifying black claw shredding the man's face in half, killing him almost instantly. His body twisted, hopping over the corpse, and with a bated breath, he lunged forward and pierced the throat of the second guard who carried the communication device.

'Three to go.'

Nikolai stepped past the fallen bodies, not a drop of blood landing on him as his aura suppressing the area kept it from flying all over the place. But he could see the three figures ahead turn, their eyes wide and jaws open in shock as they watched him step past the corpses.

He felt it was easier than the past fights he entered to help Nikita. However, that was a mistake, as their regular warriors counter-attacked almost instantly.

"Intruder!"

"Get him!"

'Tsk!'

"You!" The man's partner was one of the stronger enemies. His stomach was hit with a powerful roundhouse kick before the werewolf lunged at Nikolai with a metal bar.

'Shit! Make it in time!'

Blue fluid pumped through his body, and he felt slight pain when he forced the celestial aura to concentrate on his forearm before he smashed against the metal pipe, an impact causing his bone to crack.

A loud crash resounded, Nikolai's feet skidding along the floor. A glimmering blue shield formed around his arm as the wolf's attack was deflected.

'This guy is quite tough.'

"Die!"

Another swing, followed by a roar and a surge of energy. Nikolai blocked the attack again, but a sharp pain shot up his arm, almost causing him to cry out.

'Damn...'

Nikolai's head spun, but he concentrated on the last of his celestial aura and took a quick step back, dodging the next attack and allowing him to escape from the encirclement.

'It seems a slight feedback is caused when trying to use celestial aura when using my black claws...'

Inside the small room was only Sarah. While the other women seemed to have vanished, Nikolai was now fighting four elites and one rookie who was weaker than he was.

'I have to kill them now.'

His arm snapped back, and the black shadowy energy coiled around his muscles as he stepped forward, a loud yell escaping his mouth.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

The enemy was shocked and hesitated as Nikolai's arm flew forward, tearing into the man's chest, but he tore out the rookie's heart before using the body like a weapon, swinging his corpse and smashing into the first enemy who charged at him, slamming him into the wall.

"Kuk... You damn..."

"Too late..."

With a simple flick of his finger, Nikolai removed the elite life, his black claws devouring the man's blood—the next moment, Nikolai felt an attack coming from behind him, the feeling of his blood art warning him not to dodge or block instead attack upward!

'Huh?'

It was an unexpected action that seemed to catch the enemy off guard. Nikolai swung his left arm upwards, his claw clashing with the steel pipe.

His arm shuddered, and a shockwave shook the corridor, the sound of a shrill cry echoing through the room as he came eye to eye with Sarah, though Nikolai didn't stop and rapidly flung himself forward and crushed the male's nose with a headbutt.

A soft thud echoed, Nikolai's sharp claws lacerating the werewolf's throat, and with a violent movement, he pushed his enemy towards the wall, his blood coiling around his arm as he launched a fatal blow.

'That's three....'

"Oi, Devon Silver... put that woman down. NOW!" The voice of Nikolai was like a monster... he didn't realise, but he learned a new ability upon reaching his current awakening, it had the name [Devil Gods Howl] the effect was simple and only needed him to imbue his emotions into any shout and weaker-minded creatures would crumble and fall to their knee's terrified.

"Hiss..."

"You... You shouldn't be here, this is none of your business. Just leave now and no one needs to die."

Devon was a weak monster—rather, his bloodline seemed to have been taken by his brother.

All their lives, he was the weak one, bullied and mocked for his mostly human abilities. He held a dagger to the neck of Sarah while trembling.

The terror and fear of Nikolai were apparent in his eyes. But an even colder chill ran down his spine as Nikolai looked at him with those dull, emotionless eyes shimmering with a black iris and silver ring around the edges.

"Release her, or I'll cut your throat. Dog."

Sarah looked at Nikolai with terrified eyes despite trusting him. She could see his deformed arms, like a monster dragging two long weapons, twisted and broken claws massive compared to his human palms.

'I am a monster... her eyes are terrified.'

'Is this how the others see me?'

"Nikolai, look out!"

"Hmm?"

Devon lunged at the stunned Nikolai, his blade penetrating Nikolai's chest before he twisted and showed a twisted yet wicked smile. Devon Silver thought he won the fight, both hands pressing on the bloody knife, covered in sweat and

"Cough!"

'What's going on?'

Devon's eyes widened, his gaze turning to Nikolai's face. His eyes seemed normal, but his teeth had sharpened, and his pupils were dark and menacing as if looking at a lowly insect; the next moment, Nikolai's black claw grabbed Devon's throat.

"Sarah.... look away...."

Nikolai growled, his teeth now sharp and closer to a wolf than human, as he bit the neck of Devon Silver before tearing a chunk of his flesh, while his claws sliced the other part into ribbons, sending his head flying across the room.
