Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 138: A terrifying pain

Matt rushed back to Ericson's mansion, and after handing him something and saying a few words to him, he ran back to where he was staying.

As soon as he stepped into his room, he closed his eyes and let himself fall forward.

A slight, dull sound echoed in the room as he fell to the floor, but that pain was so insignificant right now that he didn't even feel it.

'I can't disconnect...' Matt thought, gritting his teeth hard.

The pain then hit him even harder, and he felt the urge to let out a scream.

He was gritting his teeth so hard that his mouth started to bleed as he tried to hold in the terrifying pain he was feeling.

The problem right now is that he cannot turn off his senses. In order to turn off his mind and senses, he needs to freeze his brain. Basically, he needs to freeze himself to disconnect from the pain.

But, to freeze yourself takes much more than just wanting it.

That is an ability that has his Icy Curse, an ability that cannot be used frequently, or it would severely damage the brain.

Naturally, his Icy Power or Icy Curse is such a terrifying ability that it brings numerous terrifying abilities and terrifying consequences in some cases.

If we talk about his base Icy Curse, it is an ability he can use whenever he wants, although his current weakness prevents him from using it for prolonged periods of time. This ability wears down his body and mental power.

Perhaps also Vampiric Power, to a lesser extent. Back then, he used his base, Icy Curse, to slay that mighty devourer in the Battle of the Mountains. That was his limit at that time.

When he killed Harry Brown and his group in the city, he also used his Icy Curse and basic attributes, though he then exploited them using one of the abilities he brings to leave no trace of the bodies and avoid a bit of the dagger's explosion.

From fighting in the mountains to fighting in the city, his power evolved enough to allow him to fight for a prolonged period without feeling too much terrifying pain.

But, he subsequently used one of the terrifying abilities of his Icy Curse, 'Frozen Time,' which put extreme strain on his mind. Had he not disconnected at that moment, the pain he would have felt might have driven him insane.

Still, that's where his limit is.

He already used an ability that caused him to disconnect; he should not have used another ability like that in such a short time. Still, he decided to use it this time, and naturally, it would have consequences.

On Earth, he never used any of these abilities when he was weak, and there is a reason for this.

When you use an ability that requires mental power, you are not using something physical. You are using soul power to activate it.

Soul or mental power can also be measured like vampiric or mana. So if we say a person's Soul Power is 100, and the person wanted to use a power that expends 101 Soul Power, they would normally not be able to because their soul is not strong enough.

On Earth, the reason why he did not use those abilities was precisely because of this. Because he couldn't, the System that of all hunters prevented him from using it due to lack of power. But, once he arrived in this world, Matt realized something.

His Frozen Power had evolved; now it was called Icy Curse.

At first, he didn't understand why the name had changed and why it was called curse. However, he gradually understood why.

He no longer has cooldown time on the Icy Curse abilities, and he is not restricted when using them. He can use them even if he doesn't have enough soul power.

But that's not good. He will tend to rely on his abilities and will tend to use them often to depend on them.

It is more of a curse disguised as a blessing.

Still, there is the issue of pain.

This pain is obviously the pain of the soul.

It's as if someone is crushing your soul. It's even scarier than being left with 0 mana.

And regaining soul power is not as easy as regaining mana. Therefore, his ability is also his curse. Still, he doesn't regret using it.

Right now, he knows that he owes soul power because he used a powerful ability without having the ability to use it.

Therefore, he must slowly recover.

Even so, during that time, the pain he will feel is so terrifying that it makes him question whether he should continue to use his icy curse.

Although it also sows an intense desire in him to get stronger as soon as possible.

'This damn weakness is a disaster... It's the worst...' He went through his mind, trying to hold on with all his might...

If his every ability brought consequences because he was weak, then the ability wasn't the problem. The problem was his weakness.

The Icy Curse was right because the World needs Balance, and that's the way to balance people.

'I just have to break the world and rise above its balance to stop being affected by these uselessnesses.' It was the last of his thoughts before he went into a terrifying pain.

.

That night, a while earlier.

When Matt returned to Ericson Lewis' mansion, Ericson was concerned. But Matt entered his room without saying much to him. He simply handed him a recording device and some documents and told him it was time to move quickly.

That left Ericson thoughtful, who quickly returned to his room.

'Reagan Cooper is advancing on his side with Mr. Leader; why is he in such a hurry now? We're not ready yet.' Ericson thought.

In his room, he began to review what Matt had given him.

It left him in shock. Those images and videos of those traitors...

'He got them so fast!?' He thought in shock.

Just then, a person rushed in through the window and knelt behind Ericson.

From the way he moved, there seemed to be urgency.

Besides, it was someone who normally shouldn't go looking for him unless something serious had happened.
