'I don't know the details of its skill, but I remember that it controls blood. The cut in his hands allows him to draw blood and control it at the cost of his HP. However, he could recover his HP by pulling the blood again. Of course, it won't work if the blood hits me, as it's contaminated. But this is hard.'

A magic-type opponent. This would be the first time he fought someone like that.

"Are you not going to attack, Breeze? This noble me thought you weren't such a coward!"

A taunt. Max understood that pretty clearly and he usually was never someone who would fall for that. Save from the usual, it somehow felt irritating when someone who clearly had eighth-grade syndrome talked about that. Because he made it sound as if he truly believed Max was a coward.

Still, he was calm. He wouldn't let himself get taunted just like before. He didn't know BloodSucker's skill level yet. And he certainly would never underestimate him.

'I will have to give him $100 if I lose against him. No way I would give him that much!'

To face a taunt, he only had to taunt him back.

"What? I am giving you a chance, Sucker. Your hero is a medium to long-ranged one while I am close-ranged. Come, attack me first. This is my way to show you mercy."

"You– Don't regret it!"

BloodSucker was baited and raised his cane. Blood began to drip from his hand and gathered, creating a lance. Not just one, but three lances. His HP decreased slightly, around 6%. This meant that casting each lance cost 2% of his HP.

'That's a steep price to pay for an attack.'

"Blood Lance!"

With a command and a swing of BloodSucker's hand, the blood lances were launched toward Max. They were aimed at three different spots: his head, chest, and lower body.

Activating his ability, Max circled to the left to dodge them. However, with a wave of BloodSucker's hand, the lances changed direction. They were pretty fast, almost catching up to him who had a speed ability.

"Hahaha! Useless! Useless! You won't be able to – wait wait wait! Don't come here. Get away from me!"

Unlike BloodSucker who enjoyed his victory, Max actually had a plan to counter the lances once he saw that BloodSucker could control it. He just had to head toward his enemy. After all, he was still a bit faster than the lances.

"Tsk! Blood Pool!"

Canceling the lances and sacrificing 5% of his HP, BloodSucker tapped the cane against the ground. Blood surged from underground like a spike. They were sharp and solid. One of them scratched Max's legs and forced him to halt. He was paralyzed.

"Damn!"

"Haha! Get you!" BloodSucker laughed and lunged forward, blood covered his cane and turned it similar to a lance. "Blood Stab!"

It was Vlad III's third skill that only used 1% of his HP. The damage was pretty much similar to his other skill, but it was more durable. Depending on the user, it was also more reliable.

BloodSucker made a stabbing movement, it was fast and precise due to the game's support. The paralyzing effect from Blood Pool had ended and Max could now move again. He immediately ducked to avoid the attack and attacked his opponent.

If there was something that a simple skill had an advantage over a complicated and strong skill, then it would be its variation.

"Sweep Kick!"

By activating the skill, Max's kick was fast and deadly. It knocked BloodSucker over, forcefully canceling his kick and stunning him for a second.

"Aah! You–"

"Football Powered Kick!"

Before BloodSucker could finish, Max already stood on his feet and kicked his head as if it were a ball. He had a large grin on his face and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha! This is fun!"

BloodSucker's body was sent flying to the edge of the arena and crashed against the wall. His HP was greatly decreased by the two combos and the use of his skills earlier, leaving him with 16%.

Usually, Max would continue to his third combo, but he didn't. Why? Because he wanted to fight BloodSucker more. He needed entertainment.

— He's totally bullying the poor Sucker

— Bad Breeze. Bullying is bad, you know?!

— Nah, it's not bullying. This is a fight. Look at Breeze's HP. He only has 94% now!"

— Look, BloodSucker is standing.

"Heh… Hehehe! Is that it? Is that the extent of your power, Breeze? Too weak! Hahahaha! It's too weak.

Too slow. And you call yourself Speedy? Let me show you what happens when I am serious. My charge bar has been filled. Taste my ultimate!"

A charge bar. It was a bar that showed how ready you were to use an ultimate skill. It was charged from getting hit or landing a hit. Once it was full, a hero would be able to unleash the ultimate skill.

An ultimate skill could reverse a situation from hopeless to winning the game. That was how strong this ultimate skill was.

Raising his cane, BloodSucker sacrificed 10% of his HP, bringing him down to only 6%. Blood gathered above and created a large ball. It looked like it was ready to burst anytime.

"Are you ready to lose, Breeze? Say goodbye to your pitiful life. Make sure to etch in your mind to never cross a Noble Vampire ever again! Blood Rain!"

With a shout, BloodSucker activated his ultimate skill. The ball of blood burst. The blood scattered before it became a small arrow that went toward Max. They were homing and would follow their target.

— Oooh! Blood Rain! Vlad III's ultimate skill.

— This is one of the strongest ultimates that a character in H x V has. If all the attacks landed, it would kill the enemy without any question

— Can Breeze dodge them?

— Breeze uses Speedy. He will dodge them!

— But, why is he standing still?

Indeed. Max stood still even when BloodSucker's ultimate attack came toward him. Some scratched him, slowly chipping his HP. However, because he stayed still, not all of the small arrows could hit him. A lot of them missed, giving him a chance to survive.

When the haul stopped, Max was left with 17% HP left.

"Is that it? Is that the extent of your strength?!" Max asked as he walked toward BloodSucker, using the wannabe Vampire's words against him. "Too weak! You're too weak."

"N-No way. You survived that?"

"Yeah. And now I will kill you!"

Breaking into a run, Max activated his ultimate. His charge was now full thanks to tanking BloodSucker's ultimate.

A blue flame went ablaze, covering his two legs. His movement was half-controlled by the system. He jumped high and extended his legs. His speed suddenly increased and he flew toward BloodSucker like a meteor.

"Heroes Kick!"

Max landed safely in a crouching motion. Behind him

Max landed safely in a crouching motion. Behind him, an explosion rang loudly, sending a blue fire shockwave everywhere. BloodSucker's body, which was depleted of HP, disappeared into motes of blue light while muttering something.

"… N-No way."

"Hmph! Justice prevails!" Max struck a pose and walked away from the explosion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The crowd cheered.

"CRINGE!"

"That was so cringe. I felt a shiver down my spine!"

"So cool! Noobies, look. Breeze is so cool!"

— Yikes. Breeze, don't repeat that

— Please, for god's sake, let a superhero series be a superhero series

[just1ceHer0 has donated 5,000 diamonds!]

[Comrades! Justice prevails!]

Under his smirk and confident appearance, Max silently thought.

'Let's never do that again. It's too embarrassing!'
