Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 221

“With Sayonaki’s words falling, the silver wolves all around him began to pace out slowly, emitting low growls as they stealthily encircled Fang Li and Aria.

“Uh...!” Aria involuntarily took a step back when she saw this scene, unsure where to aim her gun.

“Ahhhhh... ahhhh...!” Riko seemed as though she had lost all fighting spirit as she held her shoulders and trembled in fear.

For Riko, Vlad was equivalent to a psychological shadow.

Now, learning that the mastermind behind her lifelong imprisonment had been hiding among humans, even attending the same school as hers, this fact was enough to push Riko to the edge of collapse.

Seeing this situation, Sayonaki’s expression grew increasingly delighted.

For this vampire with a human shell, Aria’s anxious face and Riko’s fearful one were the perfect seasonings.

“Because I love seeing humans wear such expressions,” Sayonaki said, his emotions darkening as he transferred his attention to Fang Li.

As a result of the current situation, only Fang Li remained composed, ignoring the silver wolves surrounding him and focusing solely on Sayonaki. His gaze remained unwavering.

“...You truly do deserve of being an S-Rank Butei known as the ‘Gun Magician Specialist,’” Sayonaki chuckled insincerely as he looked at Fang Li. He had already raised his gun and aimed it at Fang Li, “It seems you won’t truly feel fear unless you witness my vampire form.”

Hearing this, Fang Li raised an eyebrow and, quite unexpectedly, laughed.

“Fear?” Fang Li spoke nonchalantly, “If you can manage to make me feel fear, then I’d actually thank you. But I believe that’s an impossible feat.”

“Vampire?” Fang Li continued to laugh as he spoke, “Though I’ve never seen a vampire, I’ve encountered plenty of similar creatures.”

For instance, in the world of ‘Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress,’ Fang Li had encountered numerous bloodthirsty undead monsters and he had even killed many of them.

Similarly, in the world of ‘God Eater,’ Fang Li had encountered countless creatures that were mysteries, stained with human blood due to their predatory nature.

Moreover, Fang Li had killed these monsters.

Bluntly speaking, compared to those two worlds, this world might be teeming with criminals and superhumans, but it had enjoyed a much more peaceful atmosphere. Humans here aren’t living at the edge of death every single day.

Having survived through those two worlds, did Fang Li really need to feel fear because of a baseless presence?

“By the way, Sayonaki,” Fang Li lifted his gaze to meet Sayonaki’s as he spoke, “I finally understand why you’ve been targeting me all this time.”

Sayonaki’s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard those words.

In the face of such a Sayonaki, Fang Li softly began to speak.

“In your eyes, human value is determined by genetics, something to be passed down from generation to generation. That’s why you imprisoned Riko, because her body carries the blood of the Lupin Family.”

“You, who places gene inheritance above all else, probably never regarded ordinary people with any value. You likely think they don’t even deserve the right to live, believing their existence on this planet is just wasting natural resources.”

“But, then I appeared in front of your eyes.”

“I didn’t inherit any Superior Bloodlines from any family, nor do I have any illustrious background. Yet, as an ordinary person, I ascended to the throne of an S-Rank Butei, possessing substantial strength.”

“So, my existence is like a challenge to your theories. It’s made you intolerant of my presence, causing you to target me at every turn. You’ve even sent a pack of wolves to attack me and come here to obliterate me. All because I’m someone who contradicts your beliefs.”

“In light of this, your discomfort with me isn’t about some unfathomable mystery; it’s because my existence has directly challenged your long-held notions, leading you to view me as a thorn in your side.”

“Am I wrong?” Fang Li looked at Sayonaki with a semi-amused expression as he spoke, “A geneticist who deceives oneself?”

Sayonaki’s smile vanished completely when he heard Fang Li’s words, replaced by a gloomy demeanor in his eyes.

Clearly, Fang Li had struck a nerve deep within Sayonaki’s heart.

On the other hand, Fang Li’s calm and sarcastic demeanor had also given Aria and Riko a surge of courage.

“Exactly!” Aria aimed her gun at Sayonaki once again, her unique childlike voice resonating strongly in the area as she spoke, “Human worth isn’t solely determined by genetics. Fang Li’s existence proves that point. So, you’re undoubtedly wrong!”

“It’s not just about genetics...” Riko’s body stopped trembling as she looked at Fang Li and whispered repeatedly, “It’s not just about genetics... It’s not just about genetics...”

However, faced with this situation, Sayonaki also suddenly laughed.

“No, human worth is genetics. It’s like livestock; only superior breeds are welcome. Hybridization is filthy, making people feel nauseous just looking at it.”

“However, occasionally among hybrid breeds, one or two individuals with decent appearance might emerge. Student Fang Li, you are just one of those average hybrids.”

Sayonaki holstered his gun as his smile gradually turned icy.

“However, hybrids are still hybrids. If you think having a decent appearance and power can elevate you to the status of a superior breed, then that would be a joke.”

“Even if you have a decent appearance and power, in the end, you can’t surpass the limitations brought about by your inferior genetics. You can’t challenge higher-tier existence.”

“Now, let me prove this.”

“In the name of Dracula Count who is also known as Endless Sin Vlad.”

Having said that, Sayonaki surprisingly aimed the barrel of his gun at his own temple.

“I mentioned earlier that only when my mind/energy is exceptionally excited, and my brain secretes a large number of neurotransmitters, does Vlad appear.”

“However, over the long years, I’ve grown accustomed to various stimuli that prevent me from secreting sufficient neurotransmitters.”

“It was at this point that a certain family entered my view.”

“That family was the Tohyama Clan.”

Hearing until this point, Fang Li suddenly recalled.

Wasn’t the Hysteria Mode of the Tohyama Clan’s Hysteria Savant Syndrome precisely capable of causing a massive release of neurotransmitters in one’s brain?

“Vampires can rewrite the genetic code in blood, and I’ve successfully rewritten this genetic code,” Sayonaki’s voice rang clear.

“Hysteria Savant Syndrome is a power derived from the instinct to propagate offspring.”

“And regardless of the individual, when pushed into a near-death state, this instinct is triggered.”

“In other words, as long as you’re pushed into a near-death state, Hysteria Savant Syndrome can also be triggered.”

Saying this, Sayonaki pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand.
