Chapter 13: Gene Lock

"Quench your weapons with silver water and line up!" But after just a moment of surprise, the captain with a mustache began to command in an orderly manner. 

As a fully equipped mercenary group, even though they have now switched careers to become bandits, they have not abandoned their years of habit - carrying small props that may be of use with them. 

They are as experienced as the adventurers in dealing with monsters. 

He pulled out a small can of silver water from his pocket and poured it onto the sword in his hand. Then he quickly took his position and formed a "工" shape. 

So, this is why Jimmy felt troubled in the beginning. 

He is not afraid of group fights, but he is afraid that the target of the group fight is such a united and tacit team. 

"I'll cover you; you guys look for an opportunity to attack!" 

The mustached captain at the back raised his crossbow again, pointed the arrow at Jimmy, and pulled the trigger. 

At the same time, several of his subordinates also rushed up while maintaining their formation. 

Since it was not a sneak attack, Jimmy could certainly intercept it, but doing so would naturally expose a flaw. 

He was stabbed three times in the hands and waist. 

And there are three swords with silver water attached. 

Because his vampire bloodline comes from the original ancestor Count Dracula, the well-known weaknesses of vampires have been minimized on Jimmy. 

But it still has some effect after all. 

At least Jimmy felt a stronger pain. 

Of course, he did not suffer any loss. With one hand he intercepted the flying crossbow arrow, and with the other hand he left bloody wounds on two of the men. 

The two injured men staggered back, and the two who were originally at the back came up to replace them. 

The mustache-wearing captain hurriedly checked their wounds and his face suddenly turned gloomy. 

"What a ferocious monster!" 

There were five clearly distributed scratches on the lower abdomen of the two men. 

In the scratches, about 3 centimeters of flesh had been dug out. 

"You asked for this." 

Jimmy grinned and said, in just a short while, the wounds on his body had healed automatically. 

"Damn it! Is it a high-level monster? The wounds caused by the silver water should not be able to heal!" Several people said with grim expressions. 

"If it was a high-level monster, would it be scratched by you? Use your brain!" The mustache leader scolded angrily. 

"It's just a relatively strong low-level vampire. Go ask Brain to come over. We'll hold him off first!" 

Hearing what the mustache man said, Jimmy suddenly felt unhappy. 

Low level? From the looks of it, I guess I'm confusing myself with those low-level vampires? 

I am the ancestor of vampires and the heir of Dracula's bloodline! 

[Elegant Nobility] began to quietly take effect again - the noble bloodline of the ancestor will not tolerate insults from you inferiors! 

Although the murderous intent began to spread in his mind, Jimmy also caught a key word. 

Brain!? 

Could it be Brain Unglaus, the genius swordsman known as the strongest nail clipper in the original work? 

If it really was him, based on Jimmy's assessment of his own strength, he would not get any good results if he ran into him now. 

Then there is only one left, quickly get rid of these people and leave! 

With this in mind, Jimmy calmed his mind and looked at a skill glowing blue in his mind. 

Gene Lock (LV.1) 

After being activated, it will greatly enhance all aspects of the body's abilities. The effect lasts for 5 minutes. After the effect is lifted, you will fall into a short period of weakness. 

… 

After the first wave of attacks injured two people, the bandit mercenaries remained on guard against Jimmy, as if waiting for an opportunity. 

If Jimmy didn't know who Brain was, then he might have fallen into their trap of stalling for time. 

But now that I know this, I certainly can't let you get what you want, Jimmy thought to himself. 

Buzz! 

Gene lock, open! 

Before the people on the opposite side could understand what was happening, Jimmy took a step forward, and his aura leapt up! 

Since we are inferior to the opponent in skills, experience, and even numbers, we can only defeat them by force! 

His physical abilities, which were already ten times greater than those of ordinary people, had reached a rather terrifying level after his gene lock was activated. 

Jimmy kicked with one foot, and cracks appeared on the ground below! 

He rushed to a mercenary at high speed and pierced his heart with his sharp armor without mercy! 

"Balder!" 

The screams quickly brought them back to their senses. The mustachioed captain shouted his companion's name for the last time in grief and anger, then raised his crossbow and shot wildly at Jimmy. 

But at this moment, Jimmy only wanted to kill them quickly and didn't care what would happen to his clothes. 

Pulling his nails from the lifeless corpse, he rushed to the next target. 

Letting the crossbow arrows pierce his body, Jimmy endured the piercing pain and killed two more people instantly! 

At this moment, including the three who were injured just now, there are three who are dead now, and one has run to contact Brain. 

There are only two people left on the mustache side! 

"How can we possibly defeat this kind of monster?" 

Seeing Jimmy's sudden great power, the mustache-wearing captain could no longer suppress his inner fear and turned around and ran away. 

However, before running, he raised the crossbow again, not aiming at Jimmy... 

Instead, he aimed at the legs of another companion. 

"Captain, what are you doing!?" the attacked subordinate asked in horror. 

But he soon understood what the man with the moustache meant, and his face suddenly showed despair.
