I Shall Cuck Everyone

"A vampire…" The Asura King muttered, shock written all over his face as he stared at Jake.

"The world doesn't revolve around you, Asura King. See how easily you were fooled," Jake said, his voice steady, hands folded behind his back in unwavering confidence.

"I see… But tell me, how were you able to disguise yourself as a god and wield Divine energy? There's no doubt—that was Divine energy."

"That's a secret, Asura King. Something a peasant like you could never comprehend," Jake replied coldly, making the Asura King's brows furrow.

"Normally, I avoid unnecessary fights with fellow God Slayers. I don't know why you're here to challenge me, but if I have wronged you, speak now."

"You didn't offend me," Jake sneered. "And I'm not just fighting you—I'm here to take your head."

"Why…? Why?"

"For the betterment of my people," Jake said, his voice sharp. "To be honest, I despise the gods as much as you do. They've cost me too much. But I'm not here out for personal gain. I'm here for the bounty on your head. If you want to blame someone, blame your people."

As he spoke, a dark, ominous aura erupted from his body, his vampiric energy flaring violently. At the same time, Excalibur materialized in his hand.

"I see…" The Asura King muttered, his expression hardening. "Then I won't hold back."

In an instant, the primal energy of the small planet surged toward him, enveloping his body in a blinding, molten-red glow.

With explosive speed, Jake lunged at the Asura King, swinging Excalibur in a deadly arc. But the Asura King merely sidestepped, delivering a precise kick to the blade, disrupting Jake's momentum. Yet Jake's grip was firm and unyielding. The battle raged on for thirty relentless minutes, Jake pressing the attack while the Asura King, with his four arms, deflected each strike with unsettling ease.

Realizing the flow of battle, Jake leaped backward to prepare a technique—but the Asura King was faster. A powerful energy blast shot toward him. And before Jake could react, the Asura King closed the distance, now wielding four jagged daggers—one in each hand.

"Demon-tier weapons…" Jake muttered, instantly recognizing their terrifying potency.

"Oh? You could tell?" The Asura King grinned. "Your perception is sharp. Each dagger carries a passive ability. But more than that, they amplify my strength. Can you guess their active skills?"

Before Jake could respond, the Asura King vanished—only to reappear right in front of him in a split second.

Jake's instincts screamed at him. He summoned Excalibur, raising it high to block—

BANG!!!

A devastating kick crashed into his sword hand, snapping his fingers with a sickening crack. Excalibur flew from his grasp, spiraling away as pain seared through him.

Jake's body slammed into the ground with a thunderous impact, sending tremors across the planet. He skidded violently, carving deep craters into the earth before finally coming to a stop. Clawing into the ground with his toes and fingers, he forced himself upright as his broken hand rapidly healed.

As Jake pushed himself up, he spat out a mouthful of blood. It had been a long time since he'd actually been injured—since he had come so close to death. If his reaction had been even a second slower, he would have died before even using his full arsenal.

Only now did he truly understand what Edgar Frost meant about never underestimating an opponent. And judging by the intensity of the battle so far, this was just the beginning.

Above him, the Asura King hovered in the air, watching, but not attacking. Despite having the upper hand, he was just as cautious as Jake.

'Damn vampire. He survived that.' The Asura King gritted his teeth. 'Since when did vampires start using their brains instead of fighting like beasts?'

Meanwhile, Jake dismissed his blood armor, storing it in his inventory, along with Excalibur. Standing tall with his upper body bare, his toned physique was now fully on display.

'The Blood Armor is doing more harm than good. I can always summon it back to replenish my blood,' he thought, his eyes scanning the Asura King's body for any weaknesses. But he found none.

"You've made a terrible mistake," the Asura King sneered. "You plan to fight me barehanded? Do you even realize that we Asuras are *the best* in hand-to-hand combat?!"

"That was in the past," Jake replied coolly. "Besides, you seemed to be enjoying those fancy daggers of yours. Not very honorable."

The Asura King's expression darkened. Gritting his teeth, he stowed the daggers away. However, in their place, several golden bangles materialized around his wrists and ankles.

"It would disgrace my pride as an Asura to kill an unarmed man… But that doesn't mean I won't use beast gears!" the Asura King roared before suddenly vanishing.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jake.

"Sanguine's Step—Maximum."

Jake's voice was barely a whisper, yet the instant he activated his technique, a surge of crimson vampiric energy erupted from his body. His movements turned fluid, autonomously and his body began dodging instinctively, evading every strike with precision.

The two warriors became blurs, tearing across the planet at impossible speeds, their movements sending violent shockwaves through the air. The Asura King's four arms came at Jake from all angles, but with Sanguine's footwork pushed to its limits, Jake kept up—even as his aura drained at a rapid pace.

Frustration twisted the Asura King's face. No matter how relentless his assault, Jake wouldn't counterattack. And to him, that felt like mockery.

With a furious snarl, the Asura King suddenly halted mid-motion. The sheer force of his stop sent a shockwave through the land, reducing a distant mountain to rubble.

"YOU DAMNED VAMPIRE! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

His muscles bulged, pulsating with raw power. The bangles on his wrists flared to life, glowing brighter and brighter until—

*BOOM!*

The six golden bangles expanded, transforming into massive golden rings that began to levitate above his head. But they weren't just floating. As the Asura King took a step forward, the rings moved with him, reacting as if they were extensions of his own limbs.

Jake's eyes narrowed as he took in the sight.

"Let's see you escape from this," he murmured, a wicked smile forming on his lips.

Then, shaping his hands into blade-like edges, he whispered—

"Astral Walk…"
