Chapter 198: First Mission
"Do you want to take this mission? Your group is the smallest of all, and it's a mission that should possibly go through a review; several B-Rankers have failed, after all." One member of the guild frowned after telling him this.
The white eagle leader then replied, "Not a chance. That must go through a review! No one from Rank B can pass that test!"
He, too, looked at Matt, "I don't know who you are, kid, but I recommend you don't put your life at risk like that. That bastard is very powerful, and even though he's not smart, he's a vampire who doesn't feel pain, so he's more dangerous than you think."
Matt nodded quietly. "Don't worry, even though we're at Rank B right now, it's only because we just registered. We'll take this mission and complete it to prove we deserve a higher Rank." He was confident about this.
Although his confidence did not lie in that he was arrogant, but in his saint weapon.
A saint weapon is the first enemy of an Undead, even if the Undead is a vampire. As long as he is 'dead' in some way, his saint weapon can easily cut him down, so he has nothing to fear against the Undead. Also, if it was set as Rank B, it means that its power level is not too high.
Even if there is a margin of error of 5,000 power, it is still feasible for both.
Those in the white eagle shook their heads at seeing him like that. 'Some people won't understand a thing unless they experience it firsthand; it seems this guy is like that. It's a pity.' They thought.

"You are a B Rank group; if you want to take a B Rank mission that hasn't been reevaluated, there's nothing the guild can do; the guild rules don't allow it. I just hope you can succeed." Said one of them, who was the one logging the missions.
"Follow me. I will record the white eagle failure, and you guys will take the mission."
.
Matt and Alice left the guild a while later with the mission already logged. They bought several things before leaving the city.
This Undead Vampire was not in the city, naturally. It was a little way out of town, about 12 hours from the city, in a long-abandoned cemetery.
When Matt and Alice arrived, they frowned.
"What thick death energy there is in this place. No wonder they said many powerful people were buried here."
After entering, they also saw numerous open graves. Some bones were scattered around the place, around those graves, but there was not a complete skeleton of those buried here.
"They've been raping the graves here... I wonder if it's the undead vampire or someone else." Matt looked back and forth as he walked among scattered bones; Alice was also surprised that such practices were done here, against the memory of a deceased.
But if it were the Undead, then it would make sense.
Walking down the main street of the cemetery in the moonlight, they could tell that there was a rather powerful presence at the end of the road; though they couldn't see it, they felt it.
So they padded to the end.
This graveyard was gigantic, so after walking for an indeterminate period of time, Matt and Alice looked at a figure sitting on a grave.
"It's not just any undead." Matt said.
Alice nodded. "It's a real undead vampire. I heard about it from my father, and they seem to have ranks, too. I think it might be a Vampire Knight. It's a good thing it doesn't have full body armor; otherwise, we'd have big trouble killing it."
"A Vampire Knight? Like the Death Knight?" Matt asked doubtfully.
Alice smiled and shook her head in response. "No, he's not that strong. But he has the ability to achieve that strength. I heard that a Vampire Knight has a basic vampirism that allows him to become strong with the blood of his victims, but I'm not sure if it's real. My father didn't tell me about this because Vampire Knights are very rare."
Matt nodded slightly, 'Well, a Death Knight, eh... I haven't seen one in a while.' He thought, after remembering a powerful monster he once faced.
That monster was so powerful that he destroyed an entire city while fighting Matt and Charlotte. Although, according to research, that Death Knight was a rarity because it seemed to have reached the highest limit of its strength and could use magics, it was about to evolve into the next phase of an Undead.
'Let's see how strong an undead vampire is capable of reaching those heights.' Matt thought.
His thoughts were interrupted, for as soon as the Undead saw them coming, it leaped towards them with an extra quick and deadly move.
Matt immediately drew his sword to defend himself.
*CLANK*
The mighty clang of the impact of both weapons reverberated through the air as an expressionless, bony face stared Matt down.
Well, it didn't have eyes, but technically, it was looking at him.
That attack had pushed back Matt, so he smiled.
"Oh, this is 10,000 power. A vampire that feels no pain and so powerful, let me see how strong you are." Matt said, swinging the sword fiercely at him.
His blow pushed the vampire backward, who soon found himself rammed by a powerful head-on. The blow from Matt's sword pierced him, and soon, a knee landed firmly in his stomach.
Still, this guy doesn't feel pain or lose his breath. He only knew how to attack.
So, without hesitation, he launched several speedy attacks toward Matt, trying to decapitate him.
Matt had to jump back several times.
'That sword is sharp.' Matt thought as he fell to the ground. The sword had slightly scratched some of his armor, which surprised him that it was such a good sword.
Just then, Alice attacked hard from the side, and a thunderous clanging sound rang out. She hit the Undead hard, sending it slamming into one of the tombs.
