Chapter 205 Chapter 45.2 - Preparations for the Hunt

However, some of the materials had a longer transfer time; thus, I needed to buy them manually. Though even if Western Uxbridge was mostly an academy city, there were still some gates appearing around the place. Thus, there was a branch of the Hunter Association as well as store streets for Hunters.

I made my way to the Hunter Association\'s store street first.

\'Maybe I am the only one in this world who can efficiently hunt a vampire.\'

The game\'s information system was quite twisted when it came to hunting harder foes. Since the information was limited and closed. However, no matter what type of game it is, there are always people who get overly obsessed with details, and to satisfy such those, the developers always put some pieces of details about the monsters in random places.

And that was also the case for the Vampires. There was one specific Vampire boss in the game that was compulsory to kill, but there were many others on the map that you could kill as a side boss.

However, if they had one specific trait, that would be how hard it was to deal with them, especially if they were higher vampires since those were almost unbeatable, even for high-level players.

After all, they had countless different abilities. They could disassemble their bodies and become formless. They could suck the player\'s blood to regenerate. They could open a blood realm…They could call familiars or subordinates… They could use materialized blood or even dark magic…..

They could basically do everything. In terms of basic capabilities, a higher vampire was on par with the demon lord itself, basically.

However, of course, encountering a higher vampire was almost impossible right now since there are only two of them left in this world.

At least, that was what the game told us, and I am also betting on that possibility.

In any case, there is a reason why Vampires are not ruling the demon realm with such distinct powers. It is a fact that they have several more weaknesses compared to a demon.

And that knowledge is well-spread in the demon realm. After all, the current demon lord is the one who killed one of the three remaining higher vampires and captured the throne.

And now, this information is what I am going to use to hunt the vampire. This was one of the deepest information in the game.

\'Anti-vampire oil.\'

The sunlight illuminated the rows of specialized shops catering to the needs of hunters.

Each establishment held a unique array of items, from enchanted weapons to rare herbs and potions. I wasted no time navigating the labyrinthine streets; my focus was set on acquiring the materials essential for my encounter with the Vampire.

First on my list were herbs with potent magical properties.

Silverleaf Fern

Wraithroot Blossom

Nightshade Essence

These were crucial for creating a concoction that would interfere with the vampire\'s blood, disrupting its capabilities.

\'To create the Grievous Wound effect.\'

It was crucially important to disturb the healing as well as the magic of the Vampire, and this potion was just going to do that.

The first material has the properties of Silver, which is one of the biggest counters for Vampires. When Silver is mixed in their blood, it causes a small reaction, making the blood unable to be manipulated.

The second one has the ability to penetrate the mana barriers of monsters. Of course, if used alone, it won\'t be enough to penetrate vampires, but combined with Silverleaf Fern, it becomes effective against it.

The last Essence is the bridge that mixes the two while preserving their individual qualities.

The weakness of the vampire is how weak they are when their blood is disturbed, and it is not necessarily hard either.

As the city slowly stirred awake, I ventured into alchemy stores, carefully selecting each herb and ensuring their prime condition for maximum efficacy.

"These will be 500 Valer."

Surprisingly, the items here were a lot cheaper than in Arcadia City. It was expected that the prices would increase since it was a capital, but this was still too much.

"Thank you."

After buying all of those, I sought out more potions, especially mana recovery potions. After all, this time, things were going to be a lot harder than they had been before.

RING!

Just as I was buying everything, my smartwatch rang at that time.

[Your cargo has arrived and is ready to be taken. Please receive it from the city center.]

It was a message showing that my cargo had arrived.

"Just in time."

With the mixture ready, the only thing I needed was my cargo.

Upon reaching the city center, I located the designated area for cargo pickup. A small crate containing the materials I had ordered was neatly placed there, ready for retrieval.

The cargo included special potions that would seal wounds immediately, even if not fully healed. This was a crucial asset for facing a formidable adversary like the vampire.

After all, one of the biggest strengths of the vampire is the ability to draw blood from the enemy. While you are facing such a demon, you need to be well aware of the wounds you have received and make sure you are not letting your blood be used.

This was what this potion aimed to do.

And the other thing it contained was the special garlic-mixed gas bombs. Even though it is regarded as a myth that vampires are weak against garlic, it is actually a truth. Of course, it wasn\'t that detrimental like the stories told, but the garlic had the ability to mess with the vampire\'s senses, making them susceptible in combat.

With the cargo in my new spatial bracelet, I made my way back to my room. The city was gradually awakening, and the streets were becoming more lively. People went about their daily routines, unaware of the imminent threat lurking in the shadows.

\'Even if it wasn\'t Senior Maya, an awakened vampire is truly dangerous.\'

If such a demon was left alone and allowed to evolve as it wished, it would become a formidable enemy.

From my findings, it was easy to conclude that the vampire had just recently awakened and still wasn\'t in its fully powered state. Therefore, this was probably one of the rarest chances to nip it in the bud. -WROOM!

As the automatic door opened, I immediately headed to my own room. Inside, I began the process of preparing for the impending combat.

The room, though small, served as my operational base, and every item had its designated place.

The cargo from the city center was safely stored in my spatial bracelet, easily accessible when needed. I laid out the essential materials on the table, organizing them for quick deployment.

And then, I immediately started preparing the mixture I was going to use against the vampire. Igniting the heater, I started the process. It wasn\'t going to take too long anyway.

Of course, creating something that was from the game was a little hard since, most of the time, the player would be unaware of how the potion/oil was created.

However, if you had listened to your character closely while playing, you would actually be well aware of how it was made.

\'First, add the mineralized water and boil it with 2 grams of salt.\'

The process went like that, and after playing with the mixture for a whole hour, I finished it.

\'Good.\'

Looking at the color and the texture, it seemed I got the correct result.

Everything was almost ready. I only needed to wait for the Anti-vampire potion to cool down, and then I would be able to apply it to my weapons.

\'Now, one last thing.\'

KNOCK!

Just as I thought about that, I heard the knocking voice coming from the door.

"Astron, are you there?"

It was Sylvie.

"Please wait a second."

"Okay."

I didn\'t want her to see what I was doing inside. After all, I also needed her cooperation with me at this moment.

Releasing a sigh inside, I decided not to waste any more time but also readied myself. I knew what kind of state Sylvie was in, and her mentality was very important to me.

09:07

I quickly went to the small washbasin in the corner and washed my hands, ensuring there was no trace of the concoctions on my skin. Satisfied that I had cleaned up properly, I opened the door.

"Ah…"

She was waiting in front of the door. The bags underneath her eyes and her being out of balance suggested that she was sleepless. The smell of coffee and the lack of focus also showed the effects of the caffeine were slowly wearing down.

Her not being able to sleep was something I had already expected, so I didn\'t put much thought into it.

"Senior Amelia said you wanted to talk to me. Is there something you need?" She asked, her eyes looking around curiously.

"Yes, that\'s right. There is something I need for you to do."

"What is it?"

"Let\'s talk in private. Is it okay if we use your room?" The thing I will request from her mustn\'t be seen by other people, and it is really important. But, since we can\'t use my room, using hers is a must.

Sylvie blinked, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Uh, sure, we can use my room. What do you need?"

Well, it was something that could be misunderstood, so I didn\'t blame her for that.

As we entered Sylvie\'s room and closed the door, Sylvie looked at me nervously with her eyes. I could see her shaking a little as well.

\'…..This girl….\'

It was evident that she was pushing herself. The events of yesterday must have been haunting her still.

\'Sigh….\'

Releasing a sigh inside, I decided not to waste any more time but also readied myself. I knew what kind of state Sylvie was in, and her mentality was very important to me.

She became like this because of my own actions, so it was also my responsibility to fix her mentality. Also, whenever I look at her, for some reason, I feel a little suffocated by her innocence, which always reminds me of the past time.

It is the feeling of protecting the smile, so I decided to hit two birds with one stone right now.

"Sylvie, do you know how to use your powers?"
