After that battle, Victor eventually came in contact with the Dunkan family, but at first it was just their head, and to Victor’s surprise, the vampire lord was quite the youngster.
..
A few moments before Victor met with the Lord of the house Dunkan, Ramkish, he was with his elders as they discussed about something. They tried their hardest to persuade him not to carry on with what he indeed, but in the end they couldn’t do much. It seemed that the battle craziness of his father was passed down.
They had one of them who was staying in the shadows keeping a very good distance spying of the Emricks report back to them what had happened, around the time it started. The Dunkans, although powerful, were not unwise, unlike the Emricks. They heeded the warnings from Emrick about how powerful Victor was, and after doing a little more digging, they started preparing on their part as it was evident that he was going to come for them, whatever the reason was.
They also carried out the ritual to summon their ancestor, and as they took over one of the human cities, they had enough supply of blood and essence to speed up the process.
Before their ultimate helper was ready, Ramkish thought it was a good idea to go face off against Victor first to feel his power first hand.
In the end, he could not be persuaded not to, so he did.
..
Ramkish engaged with Victor in a fierce battle, and once again Victor appreciated their strength, but it was good enough that he could manage his opponent without breaking a sweat.
Victor didn’t want the fight to drag out for long. Ramkish was far stronger than the vampire lord of house Emrick. He was sure to get much evolution material. Ramkish was not just a vampire lord in name, as his strength was also in the class of a vampire lord, same with Victor. If Victor didn’t have other advantages to compliment his every being, then he would have been in trouble.
The darkness abilities wielded by Ramkish was what made it harder to kill him as it seemed like unlike Victor, he could control his time of disappearance and appearance. Also, it seemed he was in a completely different phase when he moved through the shadows/darkness, as skill would not work even then, if not, he would have died countless times to Negative Burst and some other skills.
Another problem was that for some reason, this one did not fear anything, not even when Victor used his skills. It was not that the skills didn’t work, but that there was no fear at all. The only option was to get in contact with him and kill him with a physical strike or maybe something, as even curses did not work.
After a while, Victor simply decided to use an under handed method to get it over with. He timed it perfectly when Ramkish had appeared behind him, and at that very moment activated Domain of the dead and summoned a few vampires to assist. He didn’t need them though as he was able to close the distance between easily after turning and ran his hand through Ramkish chest, before using his skill, Touch of Death. Even then, the skill took more than normal Mp, but in the end Ramkish lay dead on the floor.
This time, Victor had learned something. He had been living around weaklings for too long that he had forgotten how to fight effectively. He was clearly stronger than Ramkish overall, but his foe was a better fighter. He felt that if he had better control and timing, he would have easily finished the fight earlier. Not to mention that Ramkish was a very unnecessarily slippery foe.
p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、 That aside, Victor approached Ramkish body that had a hole through it’s chest to devour it on the spot. He was simply eager to know just how much he would gain, as he hadn’t fought any vampire this strong apart from the female who managed to pull a fast one on him. But he couldn’t eat her, so the experience was not there.
Unfortunately, just before Victor’s hand reached the corpse, it was cut off clean by something, something he didn’t even see coming.
Immediately, he jumped away from the corpse to give himself distance, and even forgot to place it in his inventory for later as he was scouting the entire area hard to find who or what had attacked him.
While he was looking and his eyes were everywhere, he got a disturbing message from the system, one he had never gotten before.

The message just kept popping up almost blocking Victor’s vision as it filled up the entire area before his eyes. He would love to know what was happening, but the system just won’t respond. Good thing for his undead mind, it really shined through in times like these.
‘Something is wrong.’ Victor couldn’t help but confirm to himself. Not only were there countless negative messages popping up in his vision, his hand had not regenerated yet. Of course, he could see it was slowly growing, but the speed at which it did was slow, very slow, insanely slow. With such speed, the arm would be back and fully grown by the next day. Not that he could wait that long.
Victor was really confused, but while all these was happening, he noticed a figure appear beside Ramkish’s corpse.
He was dressed in black trousers that looked a bit old school in design, and wore a coat that reached his knees, but with nothing underneath and his chest bare. His hair was also very overgrown, just like Victor’s, and the aura he was giving off was dark and muddy, but powerful nonetheless.
‘Who’s that?’ Victor asked himself as he stared at the figure.
There was no more contemplation or searching, it was clear that the figure was responsible for Victor’s arm, but how did he manage to do it?
There was only one answer really, and that was that he simply was more powerful.
For the first time in a long while, Victor felt the familiar feeling of pressure.
