Just a few meters away from where I was, there was a fanged human. It smelled like a wendigo just casually going through its day. I quickly suppressed my presence and burst towards it. I used my agility to maneuver through the hotel until I finally caught sight of my prey.

I was right. It was a wendigo. He also seemed to be a part of the hotel staff, but that mattered little to me. I didn't waste a second, and before the wendigo could react, my claws slit open its stomach.

The wendigo clutched its stomach and staggered backwards, trying to stop the bleed and stop his organs from falling out. Its eyes were a mixture of panic and disbelief. In the end, I decided to end the creature's suffering by slitting its throat, but instead I decapitated the creature.

My bloodlust was too high, making it difficult to control my own strength. My throat was so dry and my mind was too foggy to think clearly. I could barely register the moment when I ripped the wendigo's heart from its chest to when I devoured it.

It all happened before the wendigo's corpse had a chance to hit the floor, and before it could, I was already off to find my next prey.

My next victim was a vampire. I knew this because his eyes glowed blood red the moment I got in close.

The vampire reacted instantly, swinging his nails, but with my speed it was no different than him standing still.

It took only a tilt of the head, and I watched his attack fly by before I sank my fangs into his neck. His flesh felt as if I was biting through sponge when I chewed through his artery.

The metallic taste of his blood filled my mouth. The vampire gargled on its own blood as blood bubbles popped from its mouth. This time, instead of killing him, I decided to turn him into a lesser ghoul. This way things would go a lot faster since I didn't have much time.

I set the lesser ghoul free in the hotel. Seeing that it was a former vampire, it should be much stronger than a lot of the creatures here.

"You're really not holding back, are you?" Khalissi chuckled. "Your strong ambition to level up reminds me of someone else."

I ignored her and instead made my way to the lobby where quite a few people were gathered. On my way, I could hear screams. It sounded as if the ghoul I sent out had already found prey. Using my high agility, I pounced through the walls and soon I was at the lobby.

The mood was light with chatter as people gathered in groups with light classical music playing in the background. All of this came to an end the moment I released my bloodlust. They looked like a pack of herbivores panicking after sensing a predator.

The room consisted of a few vampires, wendigoes, lizard men, and a type of monster that had the body of a fish. There were some other creatures there, but they were of little consequence. The vampires and the lizard men were the ones who posed the most threat, though they were still weak in comparison. I had to be careful.

Most of the staff here were a type of undead that wrapped itself up in white cloth. They were called mummies and were another of the lich's creations. The receptionist, an undead mummy with the body of a woman, watched the room lazily.

She was the one I targeted first. I was curious about something. I wanted to know if a creature like that could be turned into a lesser ghoul, so I put it to the test with one scratch, and to my surprise it didn't work. I couldn't turn an undead creature into a ghoul.

In the end, I quickly killed the mummy. One of the lizard men lunged at me, its claws poised to rip through my neck. Its movements were quick and lethal; it reminded me a lot of how werewolves fought, except lizard men lowered their bodies much lower than us, striking from the ground and even used their tail as a lethal appendage.

I found it fascinating. There was a lot that could be learned from their fighting style. I watched the lizard man try his best to slash at me with its claws. There was a sharp swish sound every time his claws sped past my ear.

At the same time, more monsters began surrounding me, each trying its best to get a hit, but they only fumbled over themselves when they missed. The vampire, the more tactically sound of the group, tried to sneak up on me, and just as it did, my claws made impact with its rib, smashing through it like glass.

I slammed the vampire onto the ground, and at the same time the lizard man whipped its tail at me, which sounded like a swish blade being drawn. I grabbed the lizard man's tail and used its momentum to propel it into the wall.

I then used my fist to smash the vampire's head to paste, finishing it off for good. One by one, I killed all the monsters in the lobby and devoured their hearts. I killed all the ones that decided to stay and fight. The others that ran would either be turned into ghouls or be killed by me later.

The entire lobby looked like a scene from a horror movie with blood and gore smeared all over the floor and walls. By now, the other creatures in the hotel realized what was happening. I could practically smell their panic as they tried desperately to escape, but Khalissi's spell was keeping them in.

Some of the braver, more capable creatures came looking for me. A few vampires, monsters with scales, some with tongues that resembled a snake, and a few that were ghostly specters. But out of those who came, the one that posed the most threat was the iron golem.

That creature was most likely used as security in case anyone was acting up. The golem stood at around 8 feet tall with its fists on the ground like a gorilla. Its entire body was made from magically enhanced iron.

Golems were built by witches to enhance the physical features they lack. Their only weakness was the magic crystal at the top of their heads, but getting to that crystal is another matter altogether.

Its overbearing figure and dominating strength was another matter. The beast pounded its fist against its chest like a primate before charging at me. I barely got out of the way before its massive fist destroyed the area where I stood. The entire area shook from the shockwave that ensued.

I barely had time to process the destructive force before the beast attacked once again. The building shook from the force of its destructive power. While I dodged the golem's monstrous attacks, the other supernatural that came after me tried to launch attacks of their own.

The golem was what I was really focused on, so I didn't try to dodge their attacks. I allowed the lizard man to sink its claws into my rib, and the moment he was close, I decapitated the green-scaled reptile.

GRAHHH!!!

The golem roared loudly. Its metallic body seemed to enhance the sound, making it sound like a sonic blast had gone off. My ears rang from the destructive sound, but I wasn't the only one. The monsters trying to attack me also suffered.

I could call on my shadow hounds to help, but I wanted every kill. I wanted every drop of EXP I could get, and so that meant fighting alone. Which was also why I sent away the girls and warned Khalissi to not get in my way.

I used the confusion caused from the golem's roar to take out the rest of the monsters while they were off guard. My movements were quick and fluid as I cut them down one by one, and for my efforts, I got a total of 437 EXP. A drop in a bucket compared to what I needed.

Now that they were out of the way, I returned my attention back to the golem. On its next attack, I used my claws to try and cut through its iron body. It made a high-pitch screech, and thankfully I was able to pierce through the enhanced iron, but all my attacks would mean nothing if I wasn't able to destroy the magic crystal glowing on its head.

Since my claws were able to penetrate its iron body, I ripped through its right leg, forcing it to lower itself towards me. Then, using every power I could summon, I leaped towards the mana crystal glowing softly on its head.

A lash of magical energy exploded when my claws made contact with the mana crystal. The mana crystal on its head was nothing more than a dot, a small pebble, and still it was able to power such a powerful creature.

I didn't get any EXP from killing the creature, but still I found the battle experience I gained from fighting such a creature well worth it.

The golem collapsed to the ground like a pile of scraps, and without wasting a second, I was already off to find my next prey.
