At the SA office, Lim Cheolho looked at the rune Dave was holding and murmured, "He got one of the powerful ones."
They had created many runes, but there were 14 that reigned at the top—the Seven Sin Runes and the Seven Virtue Runes. What Dave had obtained was a Virtue Rune.
"Morpheus, are there any other runes they can acquire in the vampire cities?" he asked as the Super AI responded.
[There are three in total, with two requiring a player to raid a city alone and defeat the boss in a solo raid.]
[However, given how they are operating, it is unlikely they will acquire those two runes.]
Lim Cheolho nodded and asked, "What about the third one?"
Morpheus replied, [They have over a 94.89% chance of obtaining it—the Rune of Love.]
He nodded as he continued to watch it.

As they entered the Vampire's Underground City (8), the system messages flooded in:
[The entrance of the dungeon is blocked. Contact with the outside world will be blocked.]
[You can't escape the dungeon until you die or defeat the dungeon boss.]
Dave turned to Diana. "Blessing time."
Diana nodded and cast her buffs on both Dave and Boa. With their stats enhanced, they moved forward, encountering the first wave of enemy vampire familiars.
The fight was swift and precise. Moving from one building to another, they cleared out the vampires one by one. Finally, they reached the last building, their levels reflecting the intense battles they'd fought:
Dave - Level 306
Diana - Level 316
Boa - Level 317
System messages appeared as their enemies fell:
[An intermediate vampire was destroyed.]
[A senior vampire was destroyed.]
[A senior vampire was destroyed...]
Then, a special notification popped up:
[The title 'Vampire Slaughter King' has been obtained!]
[Effect: 1,000 fixed damage will be dealt every time you attack a vampire!]
Dave grinned. "This is going to make things a lot easier."
In the 8th underground city there were 7 buildings and now only the most luxurious building remains.
They opened the building and entered , and as expected from inside it was even more beautiful.
[The owner of the 8th city, Vampire Viscount Latina has appeared.]
At the end of the red-carpeted hallway. A dark haired woman was sitting on a throne. She was an obvious beauty, but her ice-cold skin and blue lips gave off a bizarre feeling.
"Oh my, there are humans? Prey has arrived after a long time."
Latina smiled as her red eyes shone. She waved her hand once.
Kuduk!
Kudududuk!
The ground split apart and zombies appeared.
Clack!Clack clack!
The joints of the skeletons made bizarre sounds as they approached. The zombies staggered and stared with hollow eyes. There seemed to be 1,000 of them.
[The vampire viscount Latina has released a sweet magic power.]
[You have become confused.]
[Your spirit can't endure it. Mana regeneration rate will decrease by 80% and magic resistance by 50%. There is a chance that skills was fail to activate.]
[Your arms and legs don't have any strength.]
[Attack power will decrease by 50% and all speeds will decrease by 30%.]
[You have resisted.]
Dave stood firm as he faced the incoming vampire army. With a calm expression, he unleashed the 100,000 Army Massacre Sword.
A single slash tore through the battlefield, a devastating shockwave obliterating everything in its path. In an instant, the entire army was wiped out.
Kuooock!
Latina, seated on her dark throne, frowned. She had just lost her army in a single attack.
Gritting her teeth, she waved her hand again, summoning another wave of undead, but Dave cast Blink, instantly teleporting in front of her. Latina's eyes widened in shock as she jumped from her throne, conjuring several bone spears in mid-air.
Dave, caught off guard due to Blink's cooldown, couldn't fully dodge. A bone spear grazed his side.
[You have suffered 1,005 damage.]
The damage was minimal.
"She's weak," Dave thought as he locked eyes with her.
"You dare look at me like that, mere human?!" Latina roared.
Her scarlet eyes burned with rage as she pointed at him.
Suddenly, two towering Death Knights emerged from the ground, their dark armor gleaming under the crimson light.
"Now, I shall show you my true worth!" Latina declared as she commanded them to attack.
The two Death Knights rushed at Dave, their massive swords gleaming with dark energy. Without hesitation, Dave charged forward, meeting them head-on.
"We have to finish this quickly—she's a necromancer!" Dave shouted as Diana and Boa nodded.
Boa fought fiercely against the hordes of zombies, cutting them down effortlessly. However, more undead kept appearing, summoned by Latina. Meanwhile, Diana supported from behind, using her light magic to weaken the undead.
"Die, you insects!" Latina screamed, raising her hands.
A spiral of black flames erupted from her fingertips, twisting toward Dave like a hungry serpent.
Dave blinked away, narrowly dodging the attack. Boa, seeing the flames coming toward Diana, immediately used Knight's Guard, teleporting beside her.
Boom!
Diana reacted instantly, casting Light Shield, protecting both herself and Boa from the deadly flames. The dark energy clashed with her radiant barrier, causing a bright explosion.
The battlefield was chaotic, but Dave had his sights locked on Latina.
"I need to take her down before she summons more!"
While fighting, Dave began chanting, his voice resonating with power as he skillfully parried attacks from the Death Knights.
A magnificent trident formed in his hand, crackling with wind, flame, and thunder—his Tri-Element Trident.
With precise aim, he hurled the trident at Latina.
Splat!
The weapon landed directly on her... busty chest.
"Evil human!" Latina shrieked, clutching her chest, her face twisted in rage and embarrassment.
Dave blinked in surprise. "…That wasn't intentional."
Boa and Diana both stared at him.
Silence.
A heavy sense of judgment filled the air.
Dave sighed. "I swear, it wasn't!"
Boa and Diana exchanged a glance, then let him be… for now.
Dave focused on the Death Knights, swiftly dodging their attacks before creating distance. With a quick step back, he rushed toward Latina, who glared at him with pure hatred.
"I swear it wasn't intentional!" he shouted again, hoping to clear the misunderstanding.
Latina, still seething, raised her hand, her eyes glowing with fury.
"Just die, insect!" she hissed, unleashing another spiral of blue flames at him.
