The Last Human Returns.
Chapter 30 - Byzantine Dracula

Trouble Guild's withdrawal had a very significant impact on the Hunter Association and the Government of Indonesia. Some Orange Rank Gate could not be completed and Gate Collapse occurred.

In addition, the Magic Stone that the Association obtained from taxes, began to decrease and the APBN swelled because of the expenditure used to build several Cities, not followed by stable income. Magic Stone which had been the main source of funds all this time the number had dropped sharply.

Public confidence in the President and his Cabinet soon reached a foundation. The public blamed the Government for the Trouble Guild's departure and made security worse.

The government tried various ways to calm the people and tried to find a way out. However, everything was deadlocked and did not produce a suitable result. Rallies from people in Indonesia, especially East Java, eventually broke out.

President Sobri Arya gritted her teeth. His face turned red and his body trembled with anger. He did not believe it would be difficult to deal with some young people.

"... Anj! Although reluctant, I really have to bring her back to this Indonesia."

President Sobri Arya knows that there is only one way to calm the community, namely, to make the Trouble Guild again help overcome the Gate in Indonesia.

The president looked at his Adjudicator who was just standing still despite someone being angry. "Send a letter to the damn kid. The government is ready to renegotiate on the previous issue."

"Understand me, sir." The adjutant nodded and immediately carried out his duty.

President Sobri Arya who was left alone, became so crazy that he slammed the items in his study to vent his anger.

"Urghs! I'll make him work hard for pay for harming the State!"

Meanwhile, Ethan takes Erica and Nina to finish the 3rd Floor of the Tower. Their limited time made them do so in a hurry.

The splash! The splash!

Ethan slashed at Soldier Ants with a single slash or a new sword thrust in his hand. An army of hundreds of ants is unable to stop Ethan's progress from reaching level 52 after finishing Floor 2.

"... Is this the same Floor the other Guild members completed?"

"The place that should have finished 7 days .. I feel like this will be finished in one day."

Nina and Erica who had not fought in the first place, felt completely useless. They imagined what kind of expression Guild members had when they learned of their current completion speed.

Ethan, who had been advancing from the beginning, stopped at a dead end tunnel. He turned around and unleashed an extremely powerful killing intent. "Comeout. I know you're hiding in there like a rat."

"Oh? As expected of someone who topped the Hall of Fame. You have quite good abilities for humans."

Erica and Nina became alert due to the appearance of a man with pale skin and was seen wearing a red robe with black fur ornaments around his collar. Her aura made Erica and Nina feel cold to the bone.

"This bastard is so brave to appear before me!" Alice screams hatefully and angrily from within Ethan's ring.

Ethan on the other hand was quite calm even though he was surprised by the appearance of an unexpected figure. Who would have guessed if one of the 8 Vampire Lords, the Byzantine Dracula, came to see him on the 3rd Floor.

Dracula looks at the ring Ethan is wearing and smiles horribly. "You have an interesting item. Leave the item to me. With that, I'll let you die without pain."

Ethan scratched his head and laughed amusedly in return for Dracula's words that were so confident. "You're saying it like you're able to kill me easily, sir with a blood fetish."

Dracula was stunned for a moment when he heard Ethan's bold reply before laughing loudly until it echoed throughout the entire 3rd Floor. A pair of fangs were sticking out of his mouth and his eyes were emitting a menacing gleam.

"You have a bad mouth. If so, I should start from ripping your mouth off first, right?"

Dracula disappears and appears in a blink of an eye in front of Ethan. His fingers, which had long clawed nails, tried to grab and tear Ethan's lips.

Clank's!

Ethan responds in time and withholds Dracula's attack. However, due to the difference in status, he was pushed back without any fatal injuries to his body or internal organs.

"Oh? You seem quite capable." Dracula is a little surprised Ethan can hold it in without getting hurt at all.

"!"

[You receive blessings from the stars.]

[All your Status increased by 20% for 10 minutes.]

Erica's Buff makes Ethan experience power ups. Ethan twists his shoulder a few times and he gives the gesture for Dracula to come again.

Ethan can already guess how high Dracula's status is and Ethan discovers that Dracula is currently not his real body but just an avatar. So, the level is likely only around 150 or it could be a little lower than that.

Dracula grinned widely. However, his gaze was filled with anger due to Ethan's provocation. "If you really want to die. I'll get it right away."

Step up!

Just like before, Dracula kicked the ground and closed the distance in an instant. A black claw coated in red aura attacked Ethan faster than his previous attack.

Clank's! Clank's!

Ethan tries desperately to resist Dracula's attack. Ethan is forced to defend waiting for momentum to strike back. However, Ethan did not like this passive fighting style. Entering a bit of the Void Attribute, Ethan forcibly opened the gap, fending off and changing the direction of Dracula's attack.

"What–" Dracula was surprised because he suddenly lost his posture with just a small movement.

The blade that was coated with the Attribute Void, slashed Dracula's right hand until it slipped apart.

The splash!

"Aragh!" Dracula groaned because of the pain he had not felt for a long time.

Ethan does not at all let Dracula take back his position and give chase. Manoeuvring, Ethan this time is aiming for the Dracula Heart Mana.

Dracula held his torn right hand. His eyes were filled with anger from being injured by an ordinary human. "You! How dare a man do this! !"

The blood that was dripping on the ground, immediately rose and became a giant ball clump resisting Ethan's sword attack.

"Hm?" Ethan is shocked that his sword is stopped.

"That is, Unique Ability Dracula. The concept is the same as my Unique Ability, except, it does not reach the domain of the Domain." Alice gives Ethan an explanation.

"Hm. I know." Ethan had fought with Dracula a few times. Of course, Ethan understands Dracula's skill. "I'm just surprised he used Unique Ability under penalty. He must be really upset right now."

"What are you muttering, die!" Dracula shouted and dozens of blood missiles attacked from the blood moon.

"!"

"!"

The twins, who had been watching and preparing with defensive spells, immediately released their magic to protect Ethan.

Bam! Bam!

The barrier created by Erica and Nina was immediately shattered unable to withstand the power of the Bloody Missile Dracula. However, that time was more than enough for Ethan to gather a large amount of magic energy on the tip of his blade.

Dracula's face paled when he saw Ethan's absurd amount of magic energy. "Ka– You, this madman!"

Ethan grinned and he released the energy he had gathered. As a result, an explosion of gray energy engulfed along with Dracula at once.

"Ughhh!"

"Purp!?"

Erica and Nina closed their eyes in shock at the gray light for a while.

As the light began to fade, Erica and Nina tried to check the outcome of the fight. Of course they remain vigilant for the worst results.

"Huh .. Hah …."

Ethan knelt in the middle of the crater formed due to his sword energy. He felt the Magic Circuit inside his body heat up. His gaze also started to blur and his head felt extremely heavy.

[You managed to defeat the Byzantine Avatar Dracula.]

[You earned 180,000 Records Points.]

[You get a Skill: Blood Suck.]

Ethan who sees the pop up from the System, smiles in relief and loses his consciousness from losing his adrenaline after feeling calm.
