Chapter 40: Rebuilding the Blood Hall
The first thing that Damon did after logging back into the game was check his health. He was now at 80%, which meant a single Shadowstep had cost him 20% of his health. A steep price!
But useful nonetheless.
He was currently standing outside the Twilight Hollows dungeon portal. He wanted to enter the dungeon again and farm for more shadow element skills but he wouldn’t be able to enter this dungeon again for the next 24 hours.
There was no point in standing here and wasting all that time. Damon quickly began to make his move. On the way he saw some beasts but he did not engage them. His test for how long he could last without drinking blood was still ongoing.
Damon felt a slight bloodthirst on his way but not enough to make him stop and feed.
Also, there was something else he had planned. For that, perhaps it was better to be as much of a monster as he possibly could.
He picked up pace and returned back to the starting town as he quickly as he could. There, outside the little town was the familiar deserted well. Up ahead the starting zone was as chaotic as ever, but no one noticed Damon as he silently slipped into the well with a Shadowstep.
He landed at the bottom of the well with a lot more grace and elegance this time around. Surprisingly the secret door opened on its own and Varnyx the Hollow was standing in front of him.
"Greetings, blood initiate. I am impressed by your growth."
Damon raised a brow. He had expected a random vampire NPC. Varnyx was a high-tier NPC and meeting him like this, twice in a row was truly surprising.
"Thank you, Sir Varnyx." Damon nodded. The vampire started walking through the long tunnel and Damon quickly followed him. He had come here for another reason but if his guess was correct, then he might be on the cusp of a special quest.
