My Vampire Awakening Chapter 3

The beast that had fallen into the middle of the city was fairly large, around the size of eight of the biggest elephants Earth had ever seen placed together in mass. There were bigger beasts than this that the general public had seen, but this one was different.

Green City had a number of advanced systems and technology ingrained in the city. One of them being sensors that scanned the beast’s crystal energy readings for their power level, and this beast that had landed was classified as a Demi-god tier beast.

There were 8 tiers that beasts were categorized into:

• Basic Tier

• Intermediate Tier

• Advanced Tier

• King Tier

• Emperor Tier

• Legendary Tier

• Demi-god Tier

• Demon Tier

Once in a while, portal disruptions would occur around Green City, or there would be an escaped beast or two, but these were mostly at the Basic Tier or the Intermediate Tier. Someone among the public with an advanced ability, like fire or something like lightning, could easily deal with this themselves.

Due to nearly everyone having some form of power, it was as if everyone was armed at all times, and it wasn’t much of a threat. Still, the general public wasn’t like what it used to be back in the past.

The era of wars had long gone, and most people didn’t try to enhance their abilities or grow them to a massive amount of power, unless they were into competitive sports or in a special type of force.

So anything above this would be troublesome for them. At most, they had experienced a King Tier beast landing in the city, and that had killed three members of the public in the past.

It was something that was remembered well, and now the warning was stating that there was a Demi-god Tier beast. Immediately, those that saw the beast land on the ground didn’t even try to use their powers to subdue it—they started to run.

Some helped out those by their side, picking up their partners and flying to safety. Others just ran for themselves using their powers. The situation had turned into a free-for-all.

Some had gone into the nearby shops and buildings, not too worried as they believed in the city’s natural defenses. On the street, strange cylinder objects popped up from the ground, and then part of a door swirled open.

Coming out of the cylinder objects were robotic figures that looked human with a black face on them.

They flew in the air around the beast, and already there were around thirty of them surrounding it. Out from the palm of their hands, pure energy blasts were being shot at the beast again and again.

The energy blasts continued, but the beast had next to no reaction. Eventually, one of the long yellow strands that swirled from its face like a giant whisker moved into the air. Lightning sparks were surrounding it, and then a loud noise followed.

A thunderous noise echoed throughout the city, lightning expanded out of the large whisker hair, and zapped all of the robots. Part of the outside seemed to melt, and nearly instantly they all fell to the floor.

Those that were calm before and believed in the city’s defenses were now in a bigger panic. On the streets, the public started to turn and run. Too hurried, they tripped under their own feet. They tried to crawl and get up, but their legs were too startled.

The beast raised one of its large paws, and its clawed hand descended, ready to crush a human. Moments before, just underneath where the man was, a dark shadow had appeared. The man felt his body sink down and fall, while the claw had hit the floor and nothing else.

The man suddenly felt himself appearing from above and landing on the ground, several meters away from the beast.

“Get out of here!” Galen said. A strange black shadow that was connected to the floor, and above in the air, retreated back to Galen, surrounding both of his arms.

The power that only Galen currently had, a power that was long lost—the power of Shadows. Connected to his body, it allowed the man to sink through one part and appear out of another.

However, there was a big issue with the shadow power, at least how Galen could use it.

“Now… I need to deal with this thing,” Galen said nervously, looking up.

The beast looked at Galen and went to swipe its claw. Quickly, Galen jumped over the claw and extended the shadow of his hand, using it to give himself a push in the air, propelling himself forward towards its face.

Right after, as expected, the strange whiskers that were being used—one of them had come to Galen’s side, electrified.

Gathering the shadow to his left arm, he extended it out, creating a large shield. As the whisker hit, the shadow did its job blocking the attack.

Extending his hand out, a bright red sword had appeared in Galen’s hand—a beast weapon.

‘This weapon is only at the King Tier, but with my strength it should be able to do something, right?’ Galen thought as he used one hand with the shadow to form a claw and reach out, grabbing onto the beast’s face, and then pulled himself forward.

As he did, Galen shoved the sword right into the top of the beast’s mouth. The sword had pierced right through and caused the beast to wince in pain. As it shook its head, Galen was shaken off and almost crashed to the ground, but thankfully he used his shadow to stop his fall in time.

As Galen was back on the ground, he could see the beast shaking about with the sword stuck in the top of its snout, but it was a small wound. Almost like an annoying splinter to the animal, and not enough to take it out.

‘This is what I was worried about,’ Galen thought.

Galen’s father, Quinn, was advanced with the shadow powers, but even then the shadow was never the core thing that Quinn used to attack. The ability, after all, was more of a defensive ability.

It had to be combined with another power for it to be more effective, and the great items that Quinn had managed to get a hold of had long ago been donated to Earth’s defense forces.

Leaving Galen with only the King Tier sword for his attack, just on his own, he doubted he could defeat the Demi-god Tier beast.

As Galen was trying to figure out what to do, he noticed that all the yellow whiskers on the beast started to light up. Not just that, but it was spreading through the white hairs on its entire body.

Its claws, its muscular back, and its long tail—it was spreading everywhere. This was a large-scale attack.

‘If he does that right here, in the middle of the city…then how many will die!’ Galen thought.

‘This isn’t the time,’ Galen balled up his fist. ‘This isn’t the time to be holding back.’

Galen quickly placed both of his hands on the ground, and the shadow leaked out of his entire body. It stretched out, covering the floor, and then started to cover the surrounding area. A dome was being created around him and the beast.

From the outside, all people could see was a dark shadow that was encasing the two of them, until they could see nothing but the dome made out of the shadow.

Inside, the beast’s entire body was still sparking away, almost charged up for a large attack.

“You just happened to run into the wrong person today,” Galen said as he stood there and raised his hand. Soon his fist was covered in a white glowing energy, and it started to surround the rest of his body until there was an aura around him.

‘I know Minny didn’t want me to use this, but I have no choice!’

Rarely had Galen used these powers, and each time he did, strange occurrences would happen. Too strange to the point where Galen would even have to go into hiding. Because of this, Minny had asked him to never use this power.

These were also the words and warnings from his father, and he had done well—until now.

Right now, he had covered his entire body and being in celestial energy, the power of the gods.
