Chereads / Overlord With Lottery System / Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Atavism

Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Atavism

Calculated in this way, my normal combat power index should be around 105, which is still slightly weaker than Brain. 

Brain has an advantage in terms of strength, but his fighting skills and awareness are also a plus. 

At this time, Brain also approached to five meters in front of Jimmy, stopped, and said in surprise. 

"Aren't you going to do anything?" 

"You are so patient. This is the first time I have encountered a vampire like you." 

Brain was right. After all, this was still a different world created by the people on Earth. Whether it was skeletons or vampires, they naturally held an extreme hatred for humans. 

As long as there is a breath of living people around, the undead monsters will attack like crazy and tear the former apart and eat them alive. 

According to Brain's experience, at this distance, the undead should have been unable to hold back and pounced on him long ago. 

"And please don't confuse me with those low-level vampires and zombies." 

Jimmy finally jumped off the carriage and nodded slightly. 

"The strongest swordsman in the human race - Lord Brain Unglaus." 

"Oh? You've heard of me?" 

Hearing this, Brain raised his eyebrows and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. 

Obviously, the strongest swordsman mentioned by Jimmy made him feel very useful. 

"Could it be that my fame has spread among your group of monsters?" 

"Of course. Many of our compatriots have died at your hands." Jimmy lied without blushing or beating his heart. 

He has only been here for two days. God knows how many undead Brain has killed, but it's okay as long as he says this. 

"With such a notorious reputation, how could we, the vampire royal family, not know about it?" 

"You said you are a vampire royal family?" Brain immediately caught the key point of the words. 

"That's right." Jimmy continued to talk nonsense and said it casually. 

"I am from the royal family of Dracula..." Before he could finish his words, Jimmy was startled by a flash of white light in front of his eyes and hurriedly dodged. 

"Your Excellency, this is..." 

"What do you mean?" Brain sneered and put the knife back into the sheath. The white light just now was the result of his cutting. 

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you think I can't see that you're stalling for time?" 

His words were exposed in just a few words, and a hint of regret flashed in Jimmy's eyes. 

His actual age on Earth is only 18. He is not very experienced or good at disguise in his dealings with others. 

Trying to deceive a veteran like Brain is not very realistic. 

I had originally planned to use my mouth to get through the weak period. Although I'm still weaker than Brain in my complete state, I should be able to protect myself and escape. 

But now it seems that I am not as good as some protagonists after all. A single word of mouth can make the villain regain his original intention and turn over a new leaf. 

"Stop talking nonsense and come on!" 

Brain tightened his grip on the knife handle, looking eager to try. 

"My sword is thirsty!" 

Seeing Brain's eager look to bully the weakling, Jimmy couldn't help but think of the scene later when he was a frog in the well and had a look of doubt on his face after being crushed by Shalltear. 

Of course, it's not just a matter of distracted association. 

Jimmy also went over the original work in his mind, trying to find weaknesses that could be targeted. 

But unfortunately, it was not found. 

In this case, I can only ask without any shame. 

"System, is there any way to deal with this situation?" While staring at Brain, Jimmy asked the system in his mind. 

"It is recommended that the host forcibly use the bloodline special active skill 'Atavism - The Coming of Count Dracula'!" 

As if sensing the danger that Jimmy was in, the system responded quickly and concisely. 

"But the host needs to be aware that the weak period after the gene lock is opened has not yet ended. If you use the special skills of the bloodline at this time, the skill penalty will be more severe." 

Hearing this, Jimmy looked at the row of bloodline skills floating in his mind, and the one at the end. 

Although its icon was black and could not be used, Jimmy could feel that if he wanted to use it forcefully, it seemed possible. 

"Is there any other way?" 

"No!" 

That's the way to go! Jimmy smiled bitterly in his heart. 

As for skill penalties, let's get through this level first. 

Just then, Brain finally moved. 

He took a big step forward, and his hand, which had been pressing on the hilt of the knife, began to move in sync with his feet. 

Buzz! 

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped Jimmy. 

They are completely different from the previous bunch of trash, both in terms of the quality of their weapons and the strength and force-generating skills of the people using them. 

If this knife had hit hard, the entire arm would probably have been cut off. 

However, Jimmy had been staring at Brain's hand, just to guard against his sudden attack. 

As the knife was falling, he leaned half his body to the right and narrowly avoided the attack. 

As for why it was only half, it was because the opponent's attack was too fast and did not end there. 

Brain's knife skills all rely on speed. 

He barely dodged the first attack, but couldn't completely dodge the second one that followed. 

"hiss..." 

Looking down, he saw a scar deep enough to see the bone clearly imprinted on his chest. 

Jimmy took a deep breath, endured the severe pain and quickly retreated. 

Since he knew he was a vampire, it was not surprising that the knife must have been coated with silver water in advance. 

But fortunately, the super regenerative ability is quickly repairing the injuries. 

There was no time to lose. Looking at Brain who was becoming more and more eager to fight, Jimmy's mind moved, and the black icon gradually turned into bright red.
