An improvement from his previous ability.
Or maybe...
'Three abilities? No...' Matt frowned after encountering something strange.
Several skills were displayed. Among those, he could see the upgrade from his previous ability, but it was only an upgrade. It wasn't his unique ability.
However, before that one, the Icy Curse skill was upgraded. Before, it said it was a skill that traveled with him, but now it says something different.
Icy Curse: ????
| ¿????
| ¿????
| Unique Power of the Heir of Origin: Matthew Dietrich.
'What the hell is this?' This only made him more confused and multiple questions began to surface inside him.
Still, they were questions he couldn't answer. That was why he decided to ignore them for now and look further down.
[Bloodlust of the Heir of Origin]: Killing someone in 5 hits or less will allow you to steal power from them. The percentage will vary depending on the person killed; the stronger they are, the more percentage you will gain, with a maximum of 10%.
Earnings Scale:
10,000 y 20,000: 2%.U
21,000 y 30,000: 5%.
31,000 y 50,000: 8%.
51,000+: 10%.
| This is an accurate gain.
| It could have a limit in the future.
'It's a good improvement. It removes the stupid conditions it had and leaves only a 5-hit condition. Besides that, the exact gain means that I will gain exactly 10% of the power if I manage to assassinate someone with more than 51,000 power. With Sword Domain it is quite feasible to do so. But finding such a powerful person is tricky. And I can't just go around killing people just because.' He thought.
Still, it was enough. With all the improvement brought by the awakening of his potential and everything else, along with this growth-type skill, he could already put himself above the heirs in no time, which was important.
Now, there was still one more skill left.
'Is this my unique ability?' he thought and looked below.
[Unique Skill Locked: Incomplete Body]
| Skill Name: Absolute Block: Control-type skill.
| Prerequisites for use: Reach 60,000 power and receive the first upgrade in 'The Vampire' or obtain Dietrich's Fragments.
'I can't use it or even see its description. Well, with the incomplete body, it also makes sense. Just from the name alone, it looks powerful, though I can't figure out what it's about.' Matt thought and sighed.
He smiled a little after that.
It was good that he was not allowed to use it for now; a unique ability requires a lot of power to employ. Although the effect is amazing, the cost is also high.
For now, with all the skills and upgrades he got, he was more than satisfied.
Although several things left him thoughtful and a bit confused, in the end, all he got were improvements.
He didn't just reach 40,000 power one time. He learned about many things, gained Domains and an awesome Ability, and learned that his body was incomplete—more incomplete than he had already learned with the man he found in that dark place.
All that in one moment was amazing.
When he finished reading all of this, he felt his mind spinning as he began to feel his body once again.
Yet he also began to feel something strange and uncontrollable.
His awakening...
It was not going to be peaceful.
His body started reacting differently at a time when he couldn't control it, and all his Vampire aura and power were unleashed all over the place.
Alice, who had been awake for several days already, looking at the unconscious Matt, was frightened when she saw this. But her blood was suppressed to the lowest.
Her body immediately bowed before such a magnificent and wonderful presence. For some reason, she felt all the powers within her leap with joy, as if they were little children eager to have seen their father once again.
This was a strange feeling that filled her with confusion.
At that moment, Matt finally opened his eyes. His beautiful red eyes glowed like flaming torches, which neither the breeze nor the water could extinguish. They carried an awesome power, which was followed by a magnificent aura of authority surrounding Matt. His features became thinner, but at the same time, he looked more robust.
Right now, he looked like an Almighty being who had descended into the world.
Anywhere in the Vampire Territories, this would be felt and would cause a great furor. Perhaps it could spark an internal war, in the struggle to obtain the person capable of doing this.
Perhaps many would worship the person who owned this aura.
But unfortunately, they were not in the Vampire Territory. Right now, Matt was in the most dangerous heart of the Human Empire.
The place where the most terrifying people in the Empire were.
The Nevod Mountains!
This vampiric aura was also the greatest fear in the hearts of the humans. For the first time in millions of years, they once again felt a dignified presence among the vampire race.
How could they stand still?
On the other side of the city.
Many armed and powerful men were walking in the direction of the Spirit Academy.
An aura suddenly struck them, making their bodies shudder.
Immediately all these men belonging to the Divine Knights group, went on a rampage.
"Aura of a vampire?! And it's powerful!"
"Be careful. Call the Grand Sorcerers immediately; there's a really powerful vampire in the city!"
"Alert the Spiritual Academy; maybe it's that vampire that led to the death of the Academy's Founder!" The shouts from all sides alerted the population and anyone walking around the place.
But they were not the only ones alerted.
On another side of the city, two women were walking with a hood over their heads.
One of them with features impossible to hide, with an astonishing beauty.
While the other was totally hidden under the dark hood.
Charlotte looked up when she felt this aura and frowned.
'A purer bloodline than there ever was. It's the awakening of the Heir of Origin, eh... What bad timing.' She thought, frowning, and looked at the woman behind her.
"The Divine Knights want to steal our credit again. They failed to chase down a couple of weak vampires before, but now they seem to want to try to catch such a powerful one. You must also feel it; this vampire is not just anything. So, bring in the troops of the Grand Sorcerers and tell the Divine Knights that I, Charlotte Adams, have decided to take this matter into my own hands.
If they object, I hope they are prepared to suffer my wrath." She said coldly and turned around to continue on her way to the Spirit Academy, though she somehow took a detour.
While the woman behind her jumped out of there to do as she had been ordered.
