Vincent didn't stop bashing the head of the beast, who was in the middle stages of the demonic realm, until a notification rang in his ears, telling him that the beast was dead and that he had obtained 4000 experience points for killing it.

"Well, that was fun," Vincent said, feeling amazed at how easily he killed the leader of the beasts.

While sitting on its back, Vincent leaned down and took a deep breath, taking in the scent of its blood to his heart's content. Unlike the Tree of Evil, which was a monster without a single ounce of blood in its body, the Phantom Tracer contained a large amount of it in its body. Furthermore, this was the blood of a demonic monster, not the blood of a magical monster that has become useless to him, barely able to increase his physical capabilities even if he drinks ten liters of it.

Vincent has gotten so strong that now he needed to feast on the blood of monsters in the demonic realm to increase his physical capabilities.

The blood reflecting in his crimson eyes held enough power in it to increase his strength. Also, the scent was so strong that he was losing control over himself.

"Blood Purification," Vincent said under his breath, placing his hands on its body and activating one of his racial superpowers.

‹ You've purified the blood of the beast, Phantom Tracer, from all sorts of impurities ›

"Bon appetite," Vincent said, his eyes curling into a smile and his lips stretching back to reveal his fangs. He lowered his head, sinking the vampiric fangs into the beast's neck. Then, he greedily sucked on its blood, drinking it all in a hurry, showing his greed and expressing his insatiable thirst for blood.

It thinned down to flesh and bones, a sight too horrifying for any human and demihuman, making one wonder whether the reason why Vincent had put on an act to send his entire team away from him was so that they wouldn't confront such a scene.

"Ah," Vincent moaned in satisfaction, lifting his bloodied face away from the dried corpse and licking his lips, relishing the after-taste of the meal.

‹ Your permanent Strength has increased to 82 points ›

‹ Your permanent Agility has increased to 98 points ›

‹ Your permanent Vitality (Health Points) has increased to 62 points ›

A notification rang in his head, telling him about the massive permanent increase in his stats.

"This is the first time my health point increased," Vincent said in a somewhat surprised voice. However, he was not too shocked to find out that he can increase his health points by drinking the purified blood of demonic beasts.

It was now time to get loot from its body.

He appraised the beast, obtaining all information about it.

He understood that the beast was a treasure from head to toe.

The beast's hide was a crafting material, something necessary to create Phantom Deadly Armor. It was an item that granted a 20% damage reduction to its wearer.

The claws on its four limbs were equally precious.

It also had a lightning core, an item extremely useful for lightning users.

My dream to create a set of equipment made from the body parts of monsters of the demonic realm isn't too far off, Vincent thought collecting the beast into his inventory.

He wonders if the others of its kind are still here. If they are still here, he will be getting a lot of materials!

He stood up from its body in a hurry and then leaps outside the crater. He steps out of the clouds of dust, landing on the grassy ground. His head turns to the left and then to the right as he looked at the surrounding with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Hmm?" Vincent's eyebrows raised as he found out that the coast was clear of any signs of beasts. "I guess all of them must have run away, fearing for their life."

He scoffed at them in his mind, thinking that they were cowards and ungrateful for leaving the alpha of their packs to live another day.

He wasn't wrong either.

It was the beasts that called for their alpha in order to deal with him.

However, they turned tail and ran away the moment they saw their alpha unable to do anything against him.

What a sad tale.

He shrugged his shoulders, thinking that be it humans or monsters, some among them will betray others for greed and some other reason.

He shook his head, kicking such thoughts out of his head, and focused on his priorities.

The silly girl had told him that she will search the entire spider kingdom for him if he doesn't meet up with her by the waterfall at night, something he didn't want to happen.

Vincent didn't know how serious she was about her words, but he couldn't risk it. He didn't want to lose her or search for her in the Spider Kingdom, at least he knew that.

Thus, he turned around and charged towards the waterfall, a place where the rest of his teammates were waiting for him.

He ran across the clear path, passing by fields of overgrown grasses and bushes. Along the way, the effect of the presence hiding scroll worked its wonder, hiding him from a lot of beasts. Vincent also used his own transcendental-grade combat technique to lower his presence, slipping unnoticed from right under the nose of beasts far more dangerous than the phantom tracers.

Sometime later, he slid his hand across his forehead, wiping clean the sweat off his face, while standing next to a clean waterfall.

Splash* Splash*

It hadn't taken long for him to finally reach the waterfall. Seeing that no one was in this place, he stomped his foot on the ground, leaping into the waterfall.

A splashing voice sounded out as he went through the waterfall and landed on solid ground.

It was a cave of some sort, brightened by luminous stones embed into the walls.

He looked around and saw that the rest of his teammates were resting in the other end of the small cave, just as he had expected.
