Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

ʼI suddenly feel stupid accepting this fight...ʼ Nikola saw the body of Sebastian, someone who seemed like a normal old guy, but with his shirt off, the sheer muscle mass and sculpted body made him realise this would be difficult.

”Welcome everyone to the Tepeʼs group special event! A battle between the legendary Squire Sebastian and the filthy dog of the Volkov family that forced our princess to sully herself to accept him as a squire!”

The crowd was wild, screaming and shouting ʼTepesʼ or ʼSebastianʼ before the announcer spoke again and caused Nikolaiʼs eyes to widen.

”Without further ado, letʼs watch our senior tear him apart!”

Like a gust of wind that casually blows past your ear, Nikolai only heard the sound before his face felt a severe impact, heavily smashing into the cage. He felt as if stars were dancing through his head before he adjusted himself, this time lifting his arm before a huge roundhouse smashed into his side.

The power was so intense that he felt his wrist fracture and two fingers dislocate.

”Argh..... what the!?”

Bang!

Another uppercut struck his jaw, sending him airborne, before he saw a leaping Sebastian with his hands held together before hammering Nikolai into the mat with a terrifying thud.

”Cough...” Teeth and blood fell and poured from his mouth, the power difference causing him to feel a tremble of terror.

Nikolai was outclassed.

Sebastian stood over him with a ruthless smirk. There wasnʼt a count out and this match would last until he submitted.

”Wait... he canʼt fight... we submit... surrender! Nikolai, I order you to give up... youʼll die.

Father wants to kill you!” The thought passed through his mind. Her screams and shouts actually made him feel inspired to fight.

ʼThe stupid girl, we both hate each other. Why is she upset over seeing me beaten?ʼ

”Look at you, just like your pathetic dog of a father. What kind of useless bitch did he copulate with for such a weak and useless son? Was it the inferior bitch, or are you even his child to begin with, hahaha!”

[You piece of shit, Sebastian! When Ivan was active, you hid your little bitch ass when he walked the streets and fought! Donʼt make me find the videos where he beat you with a single hand!]

The amuletʼs intense shouts in defence of his father shocked Nikolai.

His motherʼs voice, shouting profanities, calling this vampire who was supposed to be elite on such terms, seemed to wake him up.

ʼAh, thatʼs right... Dad, you always said to give your all even in a fight you feel impossible to win... I let my mind and body defeat me before we even started; of course, I would die.ʼ

A slight breeze passed over his head before he rolled and leapt to his feet; a tremendous bang like a shotgun being fired echoed as the heel of Sebastian missed his head by a few inches before he stood up.

Nikolaiʼs hair, slightly grey, becoming messier, turned a silver colour, much like his fatherʼs... different from when he lost control and the black claw appeared.

His anger seemed to make him focused, his pride and respect for his father driving him as his right arm began to tear and transform, covered in a soft, glossy silver fur down to his clawed hand.

Unlike the monstrous claw, it was smaller but could function as a normal hand as it wasnʼt deformed.

ʼStrange... my mind is so calm, and I feel different....ʼ

Sebastianʼs brutal attack didnʼt stop, as he lunged forward with a left jab and right hook like a juggernaut.

However, this time, it was different, like he could see the future—Nikolaiʼs head tilted to the side, the blow still tearing a gash into his face before he avoided the right hook completely.

Then, landing a left hook of his own, knocking Sebastian back two steps with a sudden counter and leaving a slight mark on his cheek.

Inside the pendant, a beautiful woman floats in a dark space, her beauty beyond all mortal limits, the image identical to the photograph in Nikolaiʼs home... It was his mother.

[How? How did you awaken your fatherʼs bloodline to 10%?!]

[Wait... Itʼs still only 5%, so why?! Eh?]

[Whatʼs going on? Your third bloodline is now identical to your fatherʼs bloodline.]

[How can a bloodline perfectly mimic another? Itʼs as if the Diabolus bloodline is different, not even blood at all. How can it mimic the other bloodlines inside our son?]

[Ivan, what have we done?]

[Isnʼt this the cursed blood you spoke of? You once said that your familyʼs blood is cursed and tried to break off with me, but I didnʼt believe you.]

[Is this... it?]
