If he were to use that pointed blade at the tail as a weapon, then the great knight's sword in Viktor's hand would probably melt into two halves instantly, like a hot knife through butter.
The great knight's sword was already quite good to have been able to clash with the Yamato until now.
"…"
"How is this possible…"
Meanwhile, Viktor looked at the great knight's sword in his hand, which had been broken into two pieces, and murmured with an expression of disbelief.
Of course… he wasn't surprised that his weapon was broken; he was more surprised by Javier's strength.
Because the great knight's sword just now wasn't cut off, but shattered, broken by a powerful force, not by a difference in sharpness between the two.
A sharp stinging pain came from the tiger's mouth of his palm, and Viktor's hand trembled.
The power displayed by a mere human was actually stronger than his, a Vampire, which was something Viktor found difficult to comprehend.
If it was just a difference in weapons, then Viktor wouldn't care; at most, the other party was just lucky.
But if the other party's strength was the same as his, or even stronger, then it would be a completely different matter.
This meant that the other party could kill him even without a weapon.
So this was what surprised Viktor the most…
He could be 100% sure that Javier was human, but how could a human… possibly compare to a Vampire?
Could it be… that Javier was like Lisa next to him, some kind of insectoid monster?
But why was there no change in his aura, still no dangerous beast-like aura?
"Bang—!"
However, there was no time for Viktor, the blood clan elder, to think too much about these things, because Javier had instantly closed in and arrived in front of him again.
He didn't use the Yamato, but swung a fist, aiming it fiercely at the face of Viktor, the blood clan elder, which made Viktor feel deeply humiliated!
"…"
"You're courting death, human! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"
Seeing this, Viktor's face showed an extremely angry expression, his eyes quickly turned blood red, and his fangs grew.
His originally gaunt body began to fill with blood and swell, his skin turned red and heated up.
Viktor, who was originally a hundred-year-old emaciated old man, immediately swelled into a giant muscular strongman.
This huge contrast in transformation was the special ability of Viktor, this blood clan elder.
The three elders each had their own special abilities.
Amelia could manipulate sharp sound wave attacks, Blood Clan Progenitor Marcus could transform into his true bat form, and Viktor could temporarily "revert to youth."
After removing the restrictions, his blood boiled, restoring his emaciated body to its peak, just like a werewolf in a berserk state, entering an all-around improvement in strength and speed.
But the price was falling into a berserk emotional state and losing rationality.
He had originally planned to use this move to deal with Blood Clan Progenitor Marcus in the civil war, but now, to save his life, he could only use it on Javier, this human, first.
"…"
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
Viktor's physique, in his berserk state, directly doubled, turning him into a two-meter-tall giant.
His body's skin was blood-red and hot, and the hair on his head fell out.
His pig-like nose and fangs at the tip of his nose were in an atavistic state, and his ears also began to sharpen, somewhat approaching the posture of a bat.
The pupils of his eyes were completely covered by a blood-red hue.
He let out an enraged roar, and his hands immediately pounced quickly towards Javier's direction.
The speed was very fast, just like a rampaging rhinoceros…
This made Javier wonder if every boss's second-stage blood rage state was like this, simply identical to a Tyrant.
It turns out that the ultimate form of all game bosses is the Tyrant, even the trump card of the Blood Clan Elder Viktor in front of him is to evolve into a Tyrant.
Big brother… didn't the Z Fighters from Dragon Ball tell you that the state of surging muscle power is the wrong direction of evolution?
Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince next door, was still gloating when he trained into Super Saiyan Stage Two in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Little did he know that while the muscle-bulging form increased power, the corresponding speed also slowed down.
The flaws and uneven development were too obvious.
The true perfect evolution should be an all-around increase in all six stats.
Blindly increasing strength is useless.
The same law applies in Resident Evil: generally, the larger the monster, the weaker it is; the smaller the monster, the harder it is to deal with!
And facing such a fierce and terrifying monster…
Uh…
"Click—!"
"Take this armor-piercing incendiary round!"
My lord, times have changed…
Javier decisively pulled out the Barrett sniper rifle from his storage ring, pulled the bolt to chamber a round, and the bullet with a red-colored tip was quickly fired by pulling the trigger.
The black V-shaped muzzle brake trembled, and a high-speed spinning 12mm armor-piercing incendiary round quickly flew out, carrying a powerful air current behind it.
"Bang—!"
"Boom — — — — — —!!!"
A peanut… a small chili pepper flew out, directly and precisely hitting the knee of Viktor, this berserk blood clan elder.
With almost no surprise, the terrifying penetrating power and destructive force directly shattered the knee of Viktor, this blood clan elder.
Blood splattered, his lower leg instantly broke, and his entire two-meter-tall body lost its balance and immediately fell to the ground.
This was an armor-piercing incendiary round that could even penetrate the armor of Executioner Verdugo, so Viktor, a blood clan elder who was a being of flesh and blood, naturally couldn't stop it.
If Javier had been a bit more ruthless, he could have immediately gone for a headshot.
In that case, there would be no need for struggle or recovery; the Blood Clan Elder Viktor in front of him would immediately die.
But for Seline to find out the truth from afar, Javier only intended to reduce him to a dying, weakened state.
This would make it easier for Seline to perform Blood Recollection and absorb the blood of Viktor, her adoptive father.
Not only could Seline gain all memories, but it could also help purify Seline's blood, further increasing the purity of her bloodline, which would allow her to gain stronger power.
After all, the Blood Clan relies on bloodline purity to divide strength and rank; the closer one is to the bloodline origin, the stronger one becomes!
As for why Javier didn't continue fighting with the Yamato but suddenly switched to the barrett heavy sniper rifle?
Are you kidding… If there's an easier way to fight, why always think about fighting to the death with others?
If it were an outdoor battle, Javier could even pull out a rocket launcher to bombard Viktor, the blood clan elder.
No matter how strong Viktor was, he would still perish.
This is the power of firearms that many people tend to underestimate.
In reality, even if the Blood Clan is a race that surpasses humans, they can still be killed by firearms.
For example, the Barrett sniper rifle in front of him: a headshot can take down any Vampire, including Blood Clan Progenitor Marcus.
A rocket launcher, on the other hand, is a destructive strike.
This is also why, even though the Blood Clan is stronger than humans, they still use firearms.
The reason is simple: convenience and power.
What fool would still rely on close-quarters combat?
"Click—!"
"Bang—!!!"
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!!!"
Three consecutive Barrett sniper rifle bullets shot out again.
Javier aimed at the Blood Clan Elder Viktor's other leg and shoulder, almost completely breaking all four limbs.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
He lay on the ground like a dead dog, completely motionless.
His originally swollen, blood-red body had also completely returned to its original state due to his severe injuries.
The Blood Clan Elder Viktor, now emaciated like a mummy on the ground, would fall into complete death with just one more shot to the head.
However, Javier stopped shooting and instead put away the Barrett sniper rifle, quietly waiting for Seline behind him to speak.
"Don't move—!!!"
"Javier, you can't shoot anymore, or I'll open fire! Don't force me…!"
As expected, at this moment, when Seline saw her adoptive father Viktor enter a dying state, her original thoughts instantly left her mind.
Seline immediately raised the Desert Eagle in her hand and loudly stopped Javier.
Her expression was as cold as ever.
Before the truth was investigated, no one could kill her adoptive father, Viktor…
Seline's warning sounded as expected, and Javier obediently raised his hands.
At this moment, Viktor's limbs were all broken.
In his berserk state, he would only use brute force and didn't know how to dodge, like a giant living target.
Four armor-piercing incendiary rounds had reduced him to his original form.
Now he lay on the ground like an emaciated corpse, blood flowing in large puddles.
Such injuries were very fatal, mainly due to excessive blood loss.
After all, the Blood Clan's recovery ability relies on blood to provide energy for recovery.
If the blood in their body is completely lost, even with powerful recovery abilities, it would be useless, just like a clever housewife cannot make a meal without rice.
Without rice, no matter how well the food is cooked, it is useless.
Therefore, Viktor was now truly in a dying state.
If he was not treated, he would truly die—!
"…"
"Tell me, is everything you just said true?"
"Is Viktor my family's killer? Were my parents killed by Viktor himself? Did I only survive because my appearance resembled his daughter's?"
Seline, wearing high-heeled boots, slowly approached Javier, tightly gripping the silver Desert Eagle in her hand, and questioned him loudly.
Her emotions were very sensitive at the moment, completely lacking the competence and decisiveness she had previously shown as the Blood Clan's "Moon Goddess Selene."
At this moment, she was very hesitant and conflicted.
After all, Viktor had raised her for decades, and it was impossible for Seline to have no feelings for Viktor at all.
But when such a melodramatic thing happened to her, Seline still seemed a bit incredulous.
After all, benefactor turning into enemy, and lover turning into siblings, are often the most melodramatic and hardest things for people to accept in the world, and Seline, this female Vampire, was no exception.
"…"
"Whether it's true or not, I think you already have the answer in your heart.
Furthermore… Viktor is right in front of you now, and he's already in a dying state.
You only need to perform the Blood Clan's Blood Recollection ability on him, and then you'll know all the truth."
"The truth and the answer are within reach, separated by only a thin page.
Since that's the case, why do you want to get the answer through me?
If you want to know everything, absorb Viktor's blood…"
Turning around, Javier looked at the pained Seline and calmly mediated.
Some people… when they know the answer is right in front of them, and they can find out just by turning a page or moving their hand, they still hesitate to act.
In fact, it's not that they don't dare, but that they already know the answer, they just fear that the truth of the matter will hurt them again.
And Seline… was in such a state.
Viktor was her adoptive father.
Since she could remember… this strict father had always been in her mind.
Although Viktor was strict and meticulous in handling matters, in terms of material things, he indeed gave Seline a lot.
No matter what Seline wanted, she could get it.
And there was a brief father-daughter affection between Seline and Viktor, and precisely because it was brief, it was rare and precious.
Seline had originally thought that this was just Viktor's inherent nature as an adoptive father, which led to his unusual strictness and severity towards her.
But now it seems… in more ways than one, Viktor merely treated Seline as a substitute, a substitute for his daughter, Sonja.
