Chapter 549 - Swallow Your Pride! The Vampire's Utter Defeat!
-----
Victory! Frank's group had done a flawless victory. Every single battle ended in their victory, quite surprisingly! This indeed was an amazing thing by itself. Frank and company celebrated right away. Everyone gathered together, Matsuo had been healed by Frank right after he defeated Clementine, and the two friends smiled back at one another while the rest celebrated around them.
"You really did it, you son of a bitch." Said Matsuo.
"Hahaha! You too, son of a bitch." Said Frank.
"Huh? Since when did these two began to talk like foulmouthed barbarians?!" asked Orb.
"Let them be, they're just happy to have won." Said Gwendolyn.
"Son of a bi-" muttered Alexander, as his little mouth was covered by Gwendolyn.
"Oh dearie, it would be better for you to not say swearing words in front of Alexander!" said Gwendolyn, getting close to Frank and smacking him in the head with a karate chop.
Smack!
"Agh…! Okay, sorry about that… Alexander, never say that word, it is very dangerous, and we might die if you say it." said Frank, as the little boy opened his eyes wide open, nodding fearfully. He really didn't wanted his parents to die, so he would never say that word.
"Good boy… Now come here!" said Frank, as he grabbed his son with his arms and held him. The little boy was excited to be with his father after seeing him fight for so long. He really had gotten worried when he was turned into stone, but it seems he found a loophole around it and simply abused it, becoming "immune" to it without really being immune.
"Woah, Frank, you've really grown strong, aren't you? That fight really left me perplexed…" said Clishya.
"Well, to be honest it was the first fight I had to struggle so much ever since the fight with Chaos Gate guys… I suppose I didn't went completely all out because I didn't called Terra for the boost in power using the Laws of that world." Said Frank while laughing. When the Vampires overheard this statement they almost went into a riot.
"H-He didn't used all his power?!"
"What?!"
"Then Clementine-sama is really weaker than him!"
"Agh!"
"Damn human!"
Although they all had lost, they felt a lot of shame and resentment against Frank for winning, something that was completely unfair and not deserved at all. Frank was a good man that was only fighting and wanting to win like anyone else. He just used all the powers he had and won. It was as simple as that!
Frank looked into the distance at Clementine and Harumi who had just recovered, they were surrounded by the many Vampires attending their very needs, but they seemed mostly fine, relaxing after the battle, things seemed to have finally come to an end, and what was next was rather obvious.
Clementine noticed Frank's stare from afar, she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. She had actually lost, something she had not expected. After the entire battles, she had thought she would win to bring back the glory to the Vampires and after that, the alliance would be made when they were more "even" but at the end, Frank actually won against her by abusing the obvious weakness against her soul which she had.
Adamas, at the end, could not protect her from damage against the soul. Although she kept her soul hidden within her body, she couldn't fight against phantasmal attacks that surpassed even the body's structure and all physical things to target the soul itself… well, she had fought several times with beings that could do this, but she usually just easily destroyed their phantom attacks with her own magic and attacks, but this time such attacks were impossible to evade. She was left speechless at the end, she lost.
Her soul felt weakened though, her body was actually just fine, but her soul seemed pained and a bit cracked… she would have to sleep for a few years to even recover such a big wound, but this was fair at the end, after all she was the one that forced Noah to abuse the loopholes and find the obvious weakness. She will have to forge her soul in even more hardships and cultivation. She needed to cultivate and strengthen her soul greatly.
Frank quickly opened his Inventory, finding a pile of many items he had harvested from the Dungeon Drops inside of Orb's Dungeon, and quickly took out a dozen of bottles filled with a yellow-gold liquid that seemed almost like dew.
He quickly moved towards Clementine and gave her these potions.
"Huh? F-Frank? What are these?" she asked.
"You did an amazing work, Clementine. These are Soul Recovering Elixirs. They're powerful items generated inside my Dungeon in the deepest floors with the strongest bosses and monsters. They're top-notch items that would cost a fortune. Take them as a gift to strengthen our alliance… If you drink a lot of them, your soul will grow stronger permanently." Said Frank.
"Ohh?!"
Clementine and Harumi looked at the Elixirs in their hands, the glistening light they emanated was a clear indicator of their wondrous authenticity! These amazing elixirs emanated a powerful soul aura within them, the power of the Soul Attribute was strong in these Elixirs…
These were saved by Frank for emergencies whenever someone else were to have their soul damaged. They healed soul wounds immediately after drinking them, and would enhance soul regeneration for an entire week. They were an Ultra Rare Drop that only was dropped by the Rank 10 Monsters in Orb's Labyrinth. He had accumulated over 40 of them, so he was fine by gifting a dozen, he could also buy them in the App Shop for 100k App Points each. Very expensive, but useful too if he needed even more.
"T-Thank you, Frank. You've done a lot already." Sighed Clementine, blushing even more, as she opened an elixir and drank it right away in a single shot!
"Bwah! It tastes like such a fine and sweet liquor…!" she said, as she felt her soul quickly regenerate and heal her wounds right away!
