God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World!

On the eastern side, a few soldiers who had hated Dominic still stared, because it was the first time they had seen him cornered. And to be frank, even though the latter was now technically the lord of the eastern camp since Henry was dead, they wanted him dead.

Seraphina continued studying Dominic for quite a while, as if she was having an internal battle with herself. Half a minute later, she sighed, seemingly coming to a decision as she leaned closer and whispered quickly, urgency in her voice.

”Keep him alive. If he knows royal lines, he might know my line. I need him alive, Gabriel.”

Gabriel gave a small nod without looking at her. Initially his goal was to kill him and extract, which was still possible, but now that Seraphina needed him alive, he had no choice but to do as she wished.

He lifted his sword slightly, not attacking yet.

”I told you I’m not a vampire. Think whatever you want. It won’t change what happens next.”

Dominic’s gaze flickered briefly toward Seraphina’s position, and she felt a chill because it seemed like he sensed something, even if he could not see her fully.

Then he looked back to Gabriel.

”Fine,” he muttered. ”Prove it.”

Gabriel’s lips curled faintly into a smile.

”Alright.”

’Swap class!’ he gave the command quickly in his mind, and the system prompt flickered briefly. The class swap happened without spectacle, but the change in his aura was immediate.

[Demonic Exorcist]

The moment the class settled, even the blood on the ground seemed to react, as if it disliked the presence. Gabriel turned his head slightly toward Seraphina.

”Leave my side,” he said quietly.

Seraphina froze, instinctively wanting to refuse. She had stayed near him since she exited the blood tower, and part of her feared that he might actually kill Dominic if she moved away now, which would make it even more difficult for her to find her origin.

”Now,” Gabriel added, his voice sounding deeper this time. ”I promise to keep him alive.”

Seraphina hesitated, then nodded once. She backed away, moving toward Scarlet and the others, keeping her eyes locked on Dominic.

The moment Seraphina created distance, Gabriel lifted his left hand and activated a skill he had been saving for enemies that were not human.

[Hellfire Ring]

BOOOM!

A circle of pale orange flame erupted around Dominic’s feet, not exploding outward, but locking into place like a rising boundary. The ring lifted slightly from the ground, forming a sealed perimeter that Dominic could feel instantly.

It was not heat that burned skin. It was something that made the blood inside the body feel restless and wrong.

Dominic’s expression paled further, and sweat rolled down his temple even though the night air was cold. His pupils tightened, and his breathing turned shallow for the first time since the fight began.

He knew what it was.

Gabriel stepped forward slowly, sword still raised.

”The biggest mistake you made,” Gabriel said calmly, ”was telling me what you are. Now I don’t have to guess how to kill you.”

Dominic tried to shift backward, but his foot met invisible resistance at the edge of the ring. He tried again, faster, and the ring burned brighter, biting into him like punishment.

At the same time, the ground beneath Dominic’s boots flashed faintly.

[Stonebind Trap]

The trap had been planted earlier while Dominic was focused on the blood ring and the storm. Now it triggered cleanly, locking him inside the hellfire ring.

Dominic cursed under his breath, pulling hard, trying to tear free with raw strength and blood reinforcement, but the ring kept disrupting his control.

This was the greatest bane of all demonic creatures. A vampire was a subclass of demons, and hellfire directly suppressed their regeneration and mana flow.

BANG!

Gabriel did not give him time.

He stomped the ground and dashed forward, closing the distance with a burst of speed that sent dust exploding outward and made nearby fighters inhale sharply. His greatsword flashed multiple times, biting into Dominic.

The blade cut across Dominic’s shoulder, then his side, then his forearm, then his thigh. Blood sprayed, then pulled back toward his body, trying to seal the damage, but the hellfire kept interfering, making the healing uneven.

Dominic snarled and swung his blood gauntlets toward Gabriel’s head, but Gabriel leaned away and answered with another cut across the ribs that opened him again.

Regeneration kicked in, closing wounds, then opening again under the next strike. The more Dominic tried to heal, the more mana he spent, and the weaker his control became.

His breathing turned heavy, and sweat poured down his face. He tried to form needles, tried to form a spear, tried to form a shield, but each construct looked thinner than before.

Gabriel kept moving, cutting him multiple times.

”Fuck! What is this circle? Why do I feel so weak!” Dominic growled, eyes going wide as he saw his life flashing right in front of him.

Gabriel did not reply. He stepped closer and drove a strike toward Dominic’s chest.

Dominic barely twisted his torso enough to avoid a full pierce, but the blade still tore through his upper body, carving a deep line and making him cough blood again. His knees dipped slightly, and the panic in his eyes became obvious.

His regeneration slowed for the first time, wounds no longer closing instantly. His mana was nearly empty, and it showed.

That was when Gabriel noticed it.

On Dominic’s finger was a ring that did not look like normal loot. It was reddish in color with triangular patterns, looking like high value treasure found in deep dungeons or a secret relic.

Gabriel lifted his left hand again, and the gold ranked Crimson Lotus Binding Rope appeared in his grasp.

He used the rope, wrapping it around Dominic’s torso and arms, locking him in place more firmly as the duration of Stonebind simultaneously came to an end.

Dominic struggled, but the binding held, tightening every time he tried to move.

Now that he was completely restrained and exhausted, Gabriel stepped closer, his gaze dropping once more to that ring.

”I wonder what that is.”
