Chapter 744 Tranquil Fury

Chapter 744 Tranquil Fury

Dragon Lord Astarot's group naturally became the Eighth Progenitor's first target. After all, they possessed a superior bloodline to the humans and posed the most threat.

Other than Vaan, Dragon Lord Astarot was the only other Demigod on the side of humans.

The Eighth Progenitor couldn't help but salivate as he closed in on the group of red dragons suppressing the vampire armies from the sky. He definitely had to feast to his heart's content.

His thirst for blood had not diminished after 700,000 years of slumber. In fact, the long sleep increased his thirst instead.

Swish!

The air seemed to give way to the Eighth Progenitor, allowing him to soar swiftly through the sky. It was like the natural laws of the world around the Eighth Progenitor were affected wherever he traveled.

Nevertheless, he closed the distance on Dragon Lord Astarot's group in a very short time.

At the same time, Dragon Lord Astarot sensed the impending threat. The frightening aura intimidated him, even from thousands of meters away.

His severe gaze locked on the swift, shadowy flock of black bats. He immediately knew there was more to it than how it appeared.

"Be careful!" Dragon Lord Astarot quickly warned.

But given the speed of the shadowy flock of black bats, the warning came too late. It had already reached the dragon group by the time he had finished warning his kin. It gave them no time to react at all.

"Come here, my lovely prey—!"

Just as the Eighth Progenitor re-materialized into his true form without losing travel momentum, his expression abruptly changed.

A timely spatial portal appeared right before him, giving him no time to react. As such, he flew straight into it, not knowing what lay on the other side.

However, the Eighth Progenitor wasn't even given the time to guess. He immediately found out in a split second.

Boom!

The Eighth Progenitor flew out of a different spatial portal and kissed the surface with a resounding impact, shattering the ground and shaking the earth.

A small crater was instantly formed. Half of the Eighth Progenitor's body was stuck below ground, and his legs dangled in the air.

A few moments later, the Eighth Progenitor broke out of the earth with towering rage.

"Argh, you insect!!! You have completely infuriated this Lord! I will drain the blood from your corpse and torture your remains for a thousand years to appease my anger!!" the Eighth Progenitor cursed.

Boom!

The Eighth Progenitor launched himself into the sky at an even greater speed than the past two movements. At the same time, large amounts of darkness rotated around his body like a drill. The surrounding air was flung far away by the whips of darkness.

The Eighth Progenitor's thought process was simple.

Whether it was time or placement, Vaan's last two spatial portals had been so precise that they made it impossible for the Eighth Progenitor to evade. As such, he just had to travel far faster than Vaan could precisely summon his spatial portals.

However, the outcome was far from the Eighth Progenitor's expectation.

Boom!

The Eighth Progenitor flew straight into Vaan's spatial portal again and smashed into the ground.

Although the crash wasn't as impactful as the previous two times, the Eighth Progenitor ended up drilling several hundred meters deep into the earth.

Rumble...!

The earth shook with rumbling tremors before the Eighth Progenitor furiously burst out of the ground, flinging rocks and soil in all directions.

Soon, the Eighth Progenitor glared at Vaan in the sky with a gaze so intense that his eyes bled.

"Sigh, falling for the same trick twice is one thing, but for it three times is another. You must be the dumbest Vampire Lord I have ever met. Or perhaps you just like to eat dirt?"

Vaan's insulting words sounded, further fueling the Eighth Progenitor's anger.

Right from the first move, Vaan established an absolute position by putting his opponent in an unstable state of mind.

In a battle between people with undetermined differences in power, the one with the calmer state of mind was usually the victor.

The Eighth Progenitor was so enraged that his trembling body screamed with anger. But after a moment, he suddenly became frighteningly still and quiet.

All his anger seemed to have disappeared as he calmed down, but that was far from the truth.

'Tranquil fury...' Vaan's gaze immediately turned serious.
