The Vampire Cat System

After thinking about the damn cat for a while, Bernard finally turned his attention to the stomach region of the dracolizard, it was said that when a magical or demon beast was killed or died, and the body was eventually ripped opened a beast crystal would be seen inside, although the sizes vary, nevertheless, it was always small and wouldn't be bigger than the size of man fist or slightly bigger than it, in most cases, they were round and at the same time some had different shapes.

However, that wasn't the most interesting part about a magical/demon beast, it was the fact even after the beast crystal was removed from a demon beast, the body wouldn't be discarded instead these two could then be used to either forge a beast weapon of any type, and at the same time they could be traded for credit points, and with the demon beast he had killed although it was just a basic tier.

It would still fetch him a lot of credit points and if he wanted he could send them to a beast weapon forgemaster to forge a beast weapon for him such as the twin daggers.

Bernard walked towards the demon beast that was still smoking, brought out one of the daggers from his waist, and was about to cut the demon beast's stomach, at that moment he suddenly felt the ground begin to vibrate, and in the next second the sounds of wings flapping could be heard, as Bernard raised his head up, that was when he saw ten DracoLizard flying towards his direction at incredible speed when he saw this the first thought that entered his head was experience points.

However, he soon snapped back to reality and looked at the ten Dracolizard again with clarity, when Bernard did it he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, as he realize not only did these demon beast look stronger they also had deeper color scales on their bodies, he didn't need to think too to guess which was stronger the one he had just killed or the ones flying at him, although the demon beast was just basic tier and he could take care of it without putting much effort, that didn't mean he would be having it easy with ten matured Dracolizard.

What Bernard didn't know was, it was odd for the creatures to travel alone and the one he had killed had just wanted to play and got lost, not only that the demon beast he had just killed wasn't the strongest among their family but rather the weakest and the youngest, after spending about 15 energy points to face one, he knew better than anyone else what his chances were against ten matured Dracolizard.

At this moment he did not think too much, about whether he should fight or run, because all he could do was run, as he gradually backed away and prepared to run he noticed the mouth of the ten Dracolizard spreading their mouths wide open, and at the same time they seem like they were about to belch out black flames at him, immediately he saw this, from the chunk of meat he had just cut Bernard gnawed on a large piece and use 15 energy points to activate Sprint, and ran away before they could get to him.

As he was running Bernard could hear the hurtful and enraging howls of the demon beasts resounding throughout the air continuously, after running for a while Sprint had eventually deactivated, however, just as he thought he had outrun the demon beasts that was when he suddenly heard several enrage howls behind him, and in the next moment a fireball appeared out of nowhere and flew straight at him, however, Bernard was able to sense it the nick of time thanks to Perception.

Bernard kept running but all he could see were large shriveled trees that could be seen here and there, eventually, he soon saw several buildings but he knew if he tried to enter the building at this very moment, they would chase him to no end until they destroyed the entire building, so he decided to see if he could distract them and pluck a large branch although it was unlikely it could work he decided to try it out anyways and threw the branch in the air with all his might.

After doing this he ran close to a huge tree, when he saw the huge shriveled tree he couldn't help but smirk to himself, since he had no choice but to fight back he didn't want to fight and be at disadvantage, but with this huge tree, the Dracolizard wouldn't be able to have any advantage against him, since they mostly flew in the air, with this not only would they not have their usual advantage because of how gigantic the tree was but they wouldn't be able fly and be belching fireballs at him.

Bernard took in a deep breath and spread his arms wide apart as he did this his body felt a rush of excitement, with this, Bernard was ready to face the Dracolizards and at the same time test his new skill at them, standing at the top among the tree branches Bernard had a clear view of the giant dragon like creatures coming at him angrily.

He stared at them from his position wondering what was going to happen after he activated Blood Menace, although he knew testing out a new skill wasn't the best of decision, nevertheless, he was curious about how useful and strong the skill was especially after seeing just how strong conqueror's Haki was in anime, he felt his new skill should definitely have a similar effect, and if it didn't then he would simply just use another method in defeating them.

'Activate Blood Menace'

[30/35]

The moment the skill was activated the sudden rush of excitement he had been feeling before suddenly shoot through the roof, however, it wasn't painful rather he could feel a warm feeling was being spread out from his body, to be precise it was as if goosebumps were exploding on his skins, but these goosebumps were red and spreading out faint blood mist that was not noticeable to the naked eyes of anyone, yet it was happening at an incredible speed.

Five Dracolizards could be seen at the front, ready to belch out black flames at him, however, the moment they raised their heads and were about to belch the flame that was already gathered inside their mouths, faint bloody mist they couldn't see began to fall all over their bodies.

And at the same time the DracoLizards noticed their anger and whatever emotional feeling they had to kill him for slaughtering one of their own, was gradually drying and crumbling, turning into pure instinctual fear. It was akin to watching a fast-forwarded video where in one second something certain seemed like it was about to happen and in the next moment something entirely unexpected occurred.
