Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 289 - 87 How to Deal with a Vampire

The girls exchanged puzzled glances.

"But isn’t he a High Rank Transcendent who’s almost stepped into the threshold of a Demigod? We’re doing pretty well considering, right?"

Aske sighed once more, having come to a realization.

The issue was the leveling up had been too intense, and combat awareness couldn’t keep up.

An average of once every 3-4 weeks, taking a Magic Potion to level up was the rate of high-level players from a previous life, not the mainstream leveling pace in this world.

Aske admitted he had made the mistake of assuming the girls could level up as fast as players did and that their strength would improve correspondingly.

However, the real issue was that in the players’ world there was an explosive amount of information, countless guides, videos, data analysts, and skill calculators online that could quickly enhance players’ grasp and understanding of their Bloodline System.

But for the girls in this world, the only source of information was himself. The efficiency of information transmission through mere verbal instruction and demonstration was limited.

Moreover, Aske’s teaching focus had always been on High Rank operational techniques like positioning, attack-defense rhythms, and focused combo attacks, inadvertently neglecting the most fundamental aspects.

That was the girls’ understanding of their own abilities and Bloodline.

And with leveling up so fast, gaining 1-2 new abilities each month—abilities they hadn’t fully explored before the next Magic Potion was poured in—it was quite normal for their combat awareness not to keep up.

Against Low Rank Transcendents, crowding around and beating them to death would work, but now faced with a High Rank Transcendent, the enemy’s resilience was much higher, and the girls’ unfamiliarity with their skills became immediately obvious.

"I’ll quickly go over a few points," said Aske nonchalantly.

The girls: ??

No way? By that tone, is he starting practical teaching again?

Squad Leader, please! The guy’s a High Rank Transcendent, can’t you show him some respect?

Even if it’s after killing him and reviewing the battle, it would be fine. The guy’s still alive, and you’re already using him as a teaching target; isn’t that a bit too arrogant?

The girls internally rolled their eyes in unison. The man with the aquiline nose had recovered from the head injury, his expression somewhat befuddled. Red-haired Otto, with his arms crossed, showed a rather intrigued demeanor.

"Medea, please keep up the ’Desire Interference’; don’t let this guy escape."

"Mm," Medea nodded, continuing to use her abilities within her robe sleeves.

"Firstly, this guy’s Weakness is that he’s almost immune to physical damage," Aske fired another shot, blasting the head of the aquiline-nose man who tried to dodge.

"Note: Immunity to damage is not the same as immunity to attacks. If the head is blown off, its functions will be temporarily lost—no vision, no hearing, and unable to think. Bloodline Abilities are housed within the Flesh; especially ’Flesh’ abilities with passive features, they can be activated without a head. But High Rank Law Abilities rely on the Spiritual Body, and without concentration, they cannot be used. Understand?"

"Ohh ohh ohh," the girls responded, indicating they understood.

"So, to prevent him from using his Law Ability, we just have to keep blowing up his head and stop it from healing, got it?" Aske said.

"I understand, I understand," the girls nodded. Miel felt the most ashamed among them; she thought the enemy could heal indefinitely, so she didn’t keep shooting. She didn’t realize that suppressive fire could be so effective.

"As long as he can’t use his Law Ability, what’s the difference between him and a Transcendent below Level 10?" Aske concluded, "Can’t we just easily take him down then?"

While he lectured the girls, he kept the rhythm of his shooting with the Imperial Eagle in hand. No matter how frantically the enemy tried to evade, every time his head was about to regenerate, Aske would accurately blow it up again in the next second, ensuring that the enemy’s head never remained intact and never heard what Aske was saying.

The saying goes, "Below a Demigod, the flesh is mortal," which is precisely the case: even a high Level 19 Transcendent, if caught off guard and controlled by lower-level opponents, can be at risk of death.

"Alright then, you handle it yourselves now," Aske said, and suddenly, he holstered his handgun.

The hook-nosed man, who had been granted a reprieve, collapsed as his head rapidly healed—turning into nearly a hundred rats scurrying away.

The rats hadn’t gotten far when Sigrdrifa, taking advantage of the bounciness of her Power Armor, leaped high into the air with a cleaving split!

With the force of a Giant and the weight of her Power Armor, she smashed into the ground, sending the nearby rats flying; then, surrounded by Thunder, a series of explosive crackles obliterated the rats.

The rats, sent flying into the air, turned into bats scattering in all directions in an instant, leaving the girls extremely irritated—the guy’s Ability was so bizarre that he was nearly impossible to defend against when attempting to flee.

Then Thira used a Gravity Field + Air Pressure Weakening to forcibly pull back the scattering bat swarm, reassembling them into the form of the hook-nosed man in mid-air.

Just as he formed, his head exploded once again, and this time it was Miel who fired the shot.

Her shooting skills were precise, and with Aske’s guidance, she specifically targeted the hook-nosed man’s head with continuous shots. The headless man could not think and, relying on instinct, darted around trying to dodge Miel’s gunfire.

Other close-combat professions, including Eleanor who hadn’t made a move until then, naturally spread out strategically to limit the enemy’s movements while supporting Miel with offensive strikes.

"Don’t freeze up!" Nora, totally focused on what was ahead, suddenly heard Aske say, "Forgot about that cough just now? Check your bodies!"

Nora hastily activated her Ability to examine herself and, through the feedback from her cells, indeed noticed something unusual in her lungs.

It was the source of the Black Death, the Plague Bacteria, which had infected them all unknowingly and was proliferating at an abnormally fast rate.

"Life I’s" Healing Touch Ability could manipulate her own cells to an extent, but was somewhat powerless against such aggressive bacteria. She had no choice but to use Mind Communication to call Peggy over. With Peggy’s "Plague I" Ability, they suppressed the Plague Bacteria, then worked with her own immune cells to eradicate it.

After this series of actions, Nora was quite shaken—had she not detected it in time, the bacteria could have become active, potentially causing another severe coughing fit and allowing the enemy to flee in the chaos!

Thus, she hastily joined forces with Peggy to cure Aske and Miel of their diseases, and then went on to heal the other teammates one by one.

By the time everyone was healed, the hook-nosed man was on his last legs, clearly his Spirituality was almost depleted, and the movement of his Flesh had slowed considerably.

Perhaps sensing a fatal threat, his body suddenly inflated, like an overly inflated balloon.

Flames burst forth, and out of the flames stepped Red-haired Otto, placing a single hand on this giant "flesh balloon."

"Seal!"
