Chapter 23 Operation Garlic, Begins
Lin Xi gripped the Void Sword tightly, and his aura instantly surged to its peak.
She turned to look at Su Ming and said in a low voice:
"This vampire is agile, possessing extremely strong regenerative abilities and sonic attacks."
"In the conventional way of playing, the tank class must stand in front to absorb aggro and restrict his movement space, while the ranged DPS class can deal damage."
"But we don't have tanks."
Su Ming stood to the side, his previous playful smile now gone.
He looked at Dracula on the throne as if he were looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"No tanks?" Su Ming smiled, the Thousand Chance Umbrella gently spinning in his hand.
"Who says you have to be a tank to withstand monsters? Sometimes, making the monsters not even want to move is more effective than trying to tank them."
Lin Xi was taken aback: "Don't want to move?"
Su Ming took out two gas masks from his spatial ring and handed one to Lin Xi: "Put this on."
Lin Xi stared blankly at the exaggeratedly designed mask with two large filter canisters in her hand:
"Why are you wearing this? Is there poison gas here?"
Su Ming didn't explain, but simply forced the mask into her hand: "Trust me, put it on. Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Although Lin Xi was full of suspicion, she obediently put on the mask because of her previous trust in Su Ming.
Instantly, her vision narrowed and her breathing became labored.
"Very good." Su Ming put on a mask himself, his voice becoming somewhat muffled. Operation codename: "Operation Garlic."
Before he could finish speaking, the Thousand Chance Umbrella in Su Ming's hand suddenly changed.
This time, it transformed into a flamethrower-like device, with a reservoir on its back filled with some unknown yellow liquid.
"Let's do it!"
With Su Ming's command, Lin Xi instantly transformed into a purple afterimage and rushed out.
"Void Step!"
She was incredibly fast, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye and appearing beside Dracula.
The longsword in his hand carried a sharpness that could tear through space, aiming straight for Dracula's throat.
"madness."
Dracula snorted coldly, his body instantly transforming into a swarm of black bats that scattered, easily dodging the attack.
The next second, the swarm of bats reformed into the figure of Dracula a dozen meters away in the air.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at Lin Xi with mockery in his eyes:
"Too slow. Your sword may be sharp, but it's useless if it can't hit me."
"Yeah?"
A mocking voice suddenly rang out behind him.
Dracula whirled around and saw Su Ming standing on a pillar not far from him, carrying that strange sprayer on his shoulder, the dark muzzle pointed directly at him.
At this distance, Dracula could see the wicked smile in Su Ming's eyes.
"Even though you run fast, can you smell it?"
Su Ming pulled the trigger.
Sizzle—!
A high-pressure jet of water shot out from the muzzle, instantly engulfing Dracula.
This is not ordinary water, nor is it water imbued with magical elements.
This is a yellow liquid that emits a suffocating, foul odor.
That was a high-concentration garlic extract specially made by Su Ming, mixed with holy water and chili oil.
"ah--!"
Dracula let out a piercing scream.
Garlic is a nemesis to vampires, let alone a concentrated liquid that has been purified a hundredfold through alchemy?
In addition, there's the corrosive effect of the holy water and the irritation of the chili oil.
The feeling was like having strong acid splashed on your face and salt thrown into your eyes.
Dracula's once pale and handsome face was instantly corroded into pits and puffs of white smoke.
He covered his face and tumbled through the air in agony, his once elegant aristocratic image completely shattered.
"Damn bugs! What are these?! They stink! They hurt!"
Lin Xi, wearing a gas mask, stood below, staring in stunned silence at the screaming vampire in the air.
Even through the gas mask, she could almost smell the overwhelming garlic odor.
Is this what Su Ming meant by making the monster not want to move?
Indeed, who would be in the mood to move after being splashed with this stuff!
"Don't just stand there! Let's beat him while he's down!" Su Ming shouted. "Strike while the iron is hot!"
Lin Xi realized what was happening, suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and launched another attack.
This time, Dracula's reaction time was significantly slower due to the intense pain and obstructed vision.
puff!
The Void Sword pierced his shoulder, drawing out a spray of black blood.
"Get out of here!"
Enraged, Dracula flapped his wings, unleashing a powerful wave of crimson energy that forced Lin Xi back several steps.
He had completely gone mad by this point.
The stench filled his nostrils, almost suffocating him.
As a noble vampire count, he had never suffered such an insult.
"I'm going to kill you all! I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Dracula roared to the sky, and his body began to undergo dramatic changes.
His skin turned dark red, his muscles bulged, his nails grew longer, and a pair of huge fleshy wings grew from his back.
Blood Frenzy Mode!
In this state, his speed and attack power increase by 50%, but his defense will decrease slightly.
At this moment, Dracula was like a wild beast out of control, reeking of garlic, and pounced on Su Ming.
He hated the guy who threw garlic juice at him.
Lin Xi's expression changed: "Su Ming, be careful! He's after you!"
Su Ming remained completely calm. He looked at Dracula charging towards him and took out a huge mirror from his spatial ring.
That was an ice prism mirror he created using ice magic.
Light magic, Flash Spell (Amplified Version)!
The Thousand Chance Umbrella in Su Ming's hand transformed into a staff, its tip bursting forth with a light even more dazzling than the sun.
The intense light shone on the ice prism, and after refraction and focusing, it formed a high-energy laser beam that shone directly into Dracula's eyes.
It's common knowledge that vampires are afraid of light.
"Ah! My eyes!"
Having just gotten used to the pungent smell of garlic, Dracula was once again subjected to a baptism of intense light.
He screamed and closed his eyes, slamming on the brakes mid-air, nearly crashing into a pillar due to inertia.
"It's not over yet," Su Ming said with a mischievous grin, flicking his finger.
Several black spheres rolled to Dracula's feet.
That was a thief's tripwire trap, combined with an alchemist's super glue.
As soon as Dracula landed, his feet were stuck.
He tried to pull it out, but couldn't. Instead, he lost his balance and fell face-first into the dirt.
Bang!
This time, he really landed face down.
Lin Xi was completely stunned by this series of actions.
Garlic juice, chili oil, flashbangs, super glue...
This isn't a boss battle; it's practically a live showcase of a hundred skills from a casual player!
The once majestic Blood Earl now looked like a pitiful creature being teased by a brat.
Before they could even launch a decent attack, they were tortured to the point of near death.
"Su Ming! How many more of these underhanded tactics do you have up your sleeve?"
While adding insult to injury, Lin Xi couldn't help but ask.
Su Ming shrugged:
"Not many, maybe a few hundred. You have to use this down-to-earth method to deal with these pretentious gentlemen. Look, his health bar is already half gone."
Indeed, under the combined attack of the two, Dracula's health had fallen below the 50% warning threshold.
Completely enraged, Dracula finally erupted.
"Enough! You despicable ants!"
He suddenly broke free from the glue's restraints, his body hovering in mid-air, his mouth wide open.
Ultrasonic attack, death scream!
hum!
A visible ripple of sound waves spread outwards from him.
This is an unavoidable, full-screen attack that will stun the target for up to five seconds.
Lin Xi felt a sharp pain in her eardrums, her mind went blank for a moment, and her body swayed as if she was about to fall.
"Oh no!" It's a hard control! Lin Xi was terrified.
