Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

What did Noah even mean by entertainment?

Noah had thought that perhaps, doing too many repetitive tasks for his subordinates might be too much for their feeble minds that were not merged with a thousand-year-old vampire from another world.

And because they lacked the willpower and strength of mind to be capable of doing some repeatedly so much for so many days, he thought about bringing them some entertainment so they can relax and increase their morale.

Any leader would always take into consideration the morale of their subordinates, as their morale was something very important that often changed how subordinates worked inside of battle.

If they had low morale, you could not expect the best performance out of them, even if you were whipping their backs and roaring to them to do it better.

This is why he thought about giving them something to relax their minds and distract themselves.

"Entertainment? W-Which one?" asked Iris, rather confused. Although she could not help but imagine having a date with Noah with only him and her.

"We shall go to a restaurant, an expensive one, and we will have a good time," said Noah.

"Eh?" asked Arthur.

"Huh?" asked Timassa.

"Oh…" murmured Jon.

"Food?" asked Adamantine.

"A… restaurant?" asked Sakura.

"Sadly, we can't eat, so we won't enjoy it as much," said Big Sis.

"Well it would still be interesting- Wait we are robots, we won't be able to enter a restaurant anyways," sighed Sugar.

"R-Really?! This is not like you at all, Noah-sama!" said Iris.

"I will force my way so even you robots can enter… And what do you mean that this is not like me at all?" asked Noah, as he and his party walked through the corridors for the next hall.

"W-Well… you're a strict man," said Arthur.

"And very diligent, I don't think you've ever considered having fun," said Timassa.

"…And the only thing you think about is growing stronger!" said Iris.

"I am fine with how Master is…" said Jon.

"Food?" asked Adamantine.

"I don't want to comment into this…" said Sakura as she averted her gaze from Noah.

"M-me neither…" said Sugar.

"What's wrong with being diligent?" asked Big Sis.

"I used to be a human just as you, and I understand your low morale. I am doing this to increase your morale, make your minds relax, and make you capable of showing me your best performance in the next dungeons we visit. It is all merely for convenience's sake. Do not mistake me for a fool who enjoys measly things such as these," said Noah.

"I-I see… To think that you would care so much for us…" said Arthur with bright eyes.

"Indeed, he's a really good leader, taking our feelings into consideration…" said Timassa.

"Hm, I am a bit moved," said Jon.

"We will eat… good food?" asked Adamantine.

"Uwah! Noah-sama, you're such a considerate leader!" said Iris, embracing Noah on a tight hug as her breast bounced and pressed into his chest continuously.

"What are you talking about? I do not care about your feelings. I only care about your performance," said Noah.

"Yeah, yeah," said Arthur while chuckling.

"Noah-sama really doesn't want to show that he cares…" said Timassa.

"Hm, he's a bit shy…" said Jon, who was very shy himself…

"He's just pretending, Noah-sama is always a nice person!" said Iris.

"Get away from me, Iris, we are reaching the next hall! And stop rubbing me your body, I am not in the mood for your tomfoolery," sighed Noah, as he led his party towards the next hall, Iris at his side glanced at him with a warm smile.

As Noah felt this affection being given to him by his subordinates, he could not help but feel a disgusting feeling within his very being.

"(How disgusting, what is this feeling? Hm? Oh, my human emotions… perhaps I should take them more into consideration if I don't want to become like the Blood Progenitor…)" thought Noah, thinking about the Blood Progenitor as someone who had given up on his feelings and emotions to become a cold man that only cared about himself, to the point where when he most needed the help of others, no one came to his rescue and even his subordinates which he treated horribly schemed against him…

Noah feared such a tragic ending for him to happen one day and decided to make sure to make his subordinates happy… as long as such a thing was within his power.

After all, they were loyal people that did everything for him, and all of them felt admiration and devotion towards him, his human side was telling him to treasure such people, as they were what would bring him the most strength.

However, his Vampire side and the cold emotions he inherited from the Blood Progenitor told him to not be so affectionate, as it would lower his ability to fight and be more decisive when ruthless things needed to be done, after all, if he were to act too good, he might end up softening up, and this was not something he wanted.

Due to this, Noah needed to make a perfect balance between his two sides, to not commit the same mistakes as the Blood Progenitor.

Noah and his group quickly reached the next hall, as a new army of monstrous marine beasts greeted their sight, using their abilities, they paved a way through it, until a new Mini-Boss emerged, resembling a giant octopus.

After mercilessly getting rid of it, Noah's party continued raiding the dungeon, defeating two more Mini-Bosses, one resembling a large whale and another a giant walking fish, showering themselves with large amounts of Attribute Value Cores and Ability Cores one after another, until they finally reached the last hall, the biggest they had met…

However, there was no small monster around in this hall, but only a gigantic presence, which made even the atmosphere in the place feel heavy!

"This is… we already reached the Hidden Boss chamber…" said Arthur in surprise.

"Here it comes…!" said Timassa, as she and the rest of the group stepped back, as a gigantic serpentine creature emerged from the pool!

Splash!

Its enormous and long body was over thirty meters long, and its head was gigantic, with long razor-sharp teeth, four crimson eyes, an enormous crown of horns growing atop its head, alongside a large blue jewel on its forehead.

The rest of the body was covered in azure-colored metallic scales, with a large crest across the rest of the serpentine body and small fish-like fins!

"That monster… that's the hidden boss, the Sea Snake Emperor!" said Arthur, recalling the information he investigated, that was the name of the Hidden Boss from the Accursed Water Temple Dungeon that has not been defeated since its sighting, the Emperor of all Sea Snakes, the Sea Snake Emperor!

"GRRROOOWL!"

The Sea Snake Emperor roared angrily, as its entire body began to be surrounded by water currents!

"This power… it can control water?!" asked Arthur in disbelief.

"It is a good enough challenge…" said Noah while rubbing his chin, as he began to fly into the sky, activating Crimson Flash and reaching the Sea Snake Emperor in no time!

FLASH!

Noah quickly activated all of his buffing skills, as his blood began to boil and accelerate its flow, his entire body was reinforced by the Champion's Great Perseverance, and as he began to use his own blood, he activated Blood Sacrifice and Blood Retribution to boost the power of his body and the damage dealt by his attacks even further beyond!

Like a blazing crimson meteor, Noah reached the Sea Snake King as his claws grew gigantic, and dozens of enormous Blood Weapons surged around him!

The Sea Snake roared towards him, as its jaws approached!

"GROWL!"

Noah smiled as he unleashed an enormous shower of blood weapons, alongside a storm of slicing attacks with his claws, slashing through the Sea Snake Emperor's jaws and tearing off some of its teeth, alongside slicing a bit of its tongue!

The creature groaned in agony as it manipulates the water around itself and showered Noah with an enormous stream of high-pressure water!

BOOM!

However, before Noah was to be thrown away, he activated Blood Detonation, making the weapons stuck into the head of the Sea Snake Emperor explode, making large chunks of flesh within the face of the beast fly into the air!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"GRRYYAAARR…!"

The Sea Snake Emperor groaned in agony, as Noah was thrown away!

Noah roared, telling his allies to attack the monster now that he had weakened it, taking advantage of its pain and dizziness!

"Now, go!" roared Noah while gritting his teeth.
