Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 192: The Human Empire

They were a bit dirty and full of blood in soe parts, but the rain continued to fall, and after a few minutes, it washed their bodies clean.

Alice looked at the surroundings and shook her head before answering. "I don't know. When you fell unconscious, many powerful people gathered in that place, and I had to flee. Along the way, I used a teleportation talisman to run away from some holy knights, and after running for another day, I fell unconscious here."

The surroundings were a vast forest that was clouded by rain; they couldn't see much because of that.

'That's a problem...' Matt thought.

"Let's try to find a town. It would be troublesome to stay long in an unknown forest; there could be powerful beasts hiding." He suggested.

Alice favored that suggestion, so they started walking in either direction.

After a walk to relax his muscles, Matt began to think seriously about what had happened recently.

Mostly about his transformation.

'...A Bloody Transformation... I managed to make it based on my memories, but it's too much trouble.'

Since he could now think properly, he realized the problems and the good thing about this transformation.

First, it drastically increased his combat power, which was good. Second, he can use it at any power level, which is also good.

But it has an absurd blood requirement. The fuel that allows it to function is blood, and it can't just be any blood. It must be blood from his victims or his own blood.

That's a significant setback that makes little sense, and with that problem alone, it can no longer be used freely.

It could only be used as a last resort in a deadly fight when he had many enemies before him because otherwise, it was not profitable.

Or, well, that was the conclusion he had come to with what he could see and feel. The problem with this world was that it didn't have a system like on Earth. With the system, he could see his abilities, know his operation, and so on wherever he was, which proved very convenient. But in this world, it is different.

It requires a Skill Book, which is extremely difficult to get, to see a person's skills.

It was a bit of a problem he found in this world. He didn't mind it for now, though.

'Still, it's still a good transformation. I could feel an increase of 40% or more when I first activated it. That's amazing.' He thought.

Another thing is that this transformation would increase a percentage based on his current power, not his actual power, which is different from the ring and his weapon.

The ring and the holy weapon can increase 30% the vampiric power, but that is based on his base Vampiric Power. At that time, for example, it was 30% based on 9,600, which is why he increased his power to 12,480.

However, with that transformation, the percentage increase was not set at 9,600 actual power but at 12,480 current power.

'It's a good transformation, but nothing is perfect.' He sighed after again remembering the big problem with the transformation.

Still, he stopped thinking about nonsense.

Both traveled a large portion that night until they finally could see some lights and after running there, they were stunned by what they found.

It was a little city with a different architecture than they had seen before. Not only was it different, but the people...

'This is... The Human Empire?!'

The people walking through the city gate were human. Some drove cars, some drove carriages, but the vast majority were human.

There were other races, but there wasn't even a vampire.

Also, from the flag that stood over the city, it was clear that this place was the Human Empire.

Both looked at each other in shock.

"This... Did we really make it to the Human Empire?" Alice was astonished. No matter how she thought about it, it never occurred to her that she would reach the human empire after running for so long.

For both of them, this place was one of the most dangerous regions in the world, and both knew it.

'Human Empire? Charlotte's sensation occurred the moment I set foot on these lands... Could she be in this place?' Matt thought.

That was worrying. The Human Empire is not just any empire.

We're talking about it being the only empire for an entire race in this world, and it's the most extensive race today.

While it is true that the human race is much weaker than the vampire race, they are not a race to be underestimated.

The Three Alignments of this Empire are so powerful that they could rival a Vampiric Clan. In addition, they have powerful Heirs of Adam, who have numerous Expansive Domains.

Searching for a person in this place, being a vampire, is easier said than done. Even powerful vampires can't infiltrate this place easily.

'It's much better that she's here, though, to the other option in my mind.' Matt sighed. Although his heart was slightly pounding with some anxiety, he was able to calm down and look ahead.

"Let's get over there. Let's try to get some information and see if we can get back to the Kingdom."

Matt pulled out some dark cloaks, gave one to Alice, and then put on the other.

They then walked into the city down the long road.

Numerous cars were entering and exiting the city. There wasn't much security, but the movements were abnormal.

'What's going on?' Matt thought after walking through the gate.

Security was so poor in this city that they didn't even ask him a question when he entered. But despite that, people's movements were a bit uneven.

Matt couldn't understand, so he focused his ears on listening.

"Hey, did you hear? Apparently, a lot of Holy Knights are coming today to meet with the Bishop. They say they're in search of some powerful vampires that have crossed the borders."

"I heard the leader mention that, apparently, the city's security will be increased shortly."

Matt frowned, but suddenly, a commotion occurred in front and behind him that interrupted his thoughts.

"Look, it's the Bishop!"

"The Holy Knights are coming!"

A great commotion suddenly arose, taking Matt and Alice completely by surprise.

Both turned their heads sharply.

There were more than 15 Holy Knights surrounding a carriage.

As soon as they saw this, Matt grabbed Alice by the arm and disappeared instantly.

Just at those moments, the Bishop looked to the side, 'There was someone, wasn't there?' He thought and looked behind him. Discover magic on m-vlemp _yr.

'How odd...' Still, he stopped paying attention and ran to the entrance.

"Sir Knights, welcome!"

The Holy Knights, who came escorting a high-ranking person, nodded.

"Lead us to the church. We need to talk."
