Chapter 633: Chapter 419: Facing the Legend!_2
Compared to his underlings, he was more interested in Lis.
Their mission had already been completed; for him, a Legendary, the existence of Gold Level Bloodline members was no longer a concern.
But Lis was different.
The robust vigor of his blood energy proved he was still extremely young.
Having mastered the Extraordinary Domain and being a rare strongman among the Gold Level, he was not something Antoine, whose potential was exhausted, could compare to.
What was more, even though Lis had used a highly advanced and intricate Spell, Benfica still felt that the young man before him had a robust physique, not in any way inferior to warriors of the same level.
This made him even more curious!
“I don’t care about any compensation…”
Benfica said with a smile:
“But since you have this idea, I will not refuse it.”
“…How about you accept my Initial Embrace and become one of my Bloodline?”
The Legendary Vampire before him said with a smile, but his words were filled with an irrefutable will.
“This…”
Lis’s heart sank. Although he had not been hopeful to begin with, this was an outcome he could absolutely not accept.
For those who wished to become vampires, receiving the Initial Embrace from a Vampire Prince was something they dreamed of.
It meant that their potential would at least reach the Gold Level.
If those players who liked performance art knew of such an opportunity, they might even cling to Benfica’s leg and call him ‘daddy.’
But to Lis, this was completely unacceptable.
Not to mention, transforming into a vampire was not the same as becoming part of the Blood Clan; both the bloodthirsty impulse and various negative Statuses would be significant weaknesses to him.
Most importantly, such a transformation would affect Lis’s soul, resulting in the loss of certain aspects and creating weaknesses.
For example, losing the capability to cast other Spells and only being able to use Blood Magic.
This was absolutely unacceptable. Even if there were a chance to become a part of the Blood Clan through Angela, Lis did not want to take such a risk.
“Lord Benfica, I am very grateful for your kindness, but I…”
Before Lis could finish speaking, a violent eruption of Magic Power burst forth from his body, the turbulent air current sweeping through the entire secret chamber.
“Space Transmission? Interesting.”
Benfica, sensing the space fluctuations around him, grew even more interested in Lis.
This talented wraith, who had such a mastery over Space Magic, could potentially, in not too long, become his first Legendary subordinate.
With this in mind, Benfica was even less likely to let Lis escape.
Benfica raised his hand and made a light swipe across his chest.
A blood blade thin as a cicada’s wing appeared in mid-air, striking at Lis.
Lis naturally noticed the Blood Blade coming towards him. Though it emitted no aura, it was different from those used by the Golden-level Vampires the day before; Lis instantly felt a chilling terror, as if Death’s shadow loomed over him.
Although Benfica did not use his full strength, such an attack was not something a Gold Level could withstand.
Benfica estimated that this strike would seriously injure Lis, leaving him powerless to resist.
As for whether Lis would die, he was not concerned; as long as there was a breath left in him, the Initial Embrace Ceremony could be completed.
Then, obedience stemming from blood and soul would ensure that Lis could never resist his commands again.
In the space of a moment, Lis clenched his teeth as he watched the Blood Blade approaching.
He had never felt the preparation time for Space Magic to be as cumbersome as it was now; every second was unbearably taxing for Lis.
While maintaining the Space Magic as best as he could, Lis was also constantly buffing the Protection Magic on his body.
He relied entirely on his own Strength and had not used any power from Mr. Stephens or Uncle Joyce, just to let the Legendary Vampire before him lower his guard and give himself a sliver of hope for escape.
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Blade reached Lis, clashing with the Magic Shield around his body.
As expected, Lis’s Shield was almost instantly shattered by Benfica’s Slashing attack.
The Blood Blade sliced through Lis’s shields layer by layer as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter, akin to peeling an onion.
The Magic Shield, normally robust against adversaries of the same level, was as fragile as butterfly wings before a Legendary Strongman, merely slowing the advance of the Blood Blade slightly.
The arcane [Lis’s Sage Robe], however, was more effective, distinctly delaying the Blood Blade for a moment.

[You have triggered a time-limited challenge quest!]
[Objective: Survive the battle against the Legendary Vampire Benfica for 5 minutes or successfully escape his pursuit!]
[Reward: Depends on the outcome of the quest!]
—————
Where time-limited challenge quests typically set victory in combat as the objective, this one surprisingly had survival and escape as the goals for completion.
But right now, Lis could not care less about these things; all his focus was on resisting Benfica’s attack.
With a slight tremble in his fingers, Lis’s Magic Power surged forth from within under his relentless coercion, continuously forming layer upon layer of new Shields in front of him.
In just a moment of confrontation, Lis felt he was nearly at his limit; the surging Magic Power echoed throughout his body. With little regard for fine control at this point, he poured all his energy into constructing a defense, indifferent to the injuries his body sustained from the onslaught of Magic Power.
Lis bit the tip of his tongue, the pain and the salty taste briefly clearing his groggy mind.
