Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 217: Finally in the Imperial City... Are problems starting?

After Matt and Alice set off toward the Imperial City, they found a caravan of merchants going in the same direction, so they wasted no time and stole some people's identities again.

After doing this several times, Matt became more specialized in this, and although he couldn't compare to Charlotte, he could still hide quite well from anyone.

That became more obvious when he received his new ability. This ability was terrific, especially when mixed with his ice attribute, as it hid his vampire aura very well. It did so well that even Alice couldn't sense it.

Together, these abilities lent themselves to too many things, so Matt was pleased.

Thus, the two traveled for an extended period until they finally reached the Imperial City.

This was a great city with unique and different architecture that blended the medieval era of the Earth with the modern era. The touches of elegance and modernism were amazing to see.

Both of them didn't bother to look at this city, though.

When they finally arrived, they completed the procedures quickly at night. They both bought a small house to live in the city's middle-poor neighborhoods. They (now) were ordinary people but belonged to a set of villages led by a wealthy man who cared about poor people (they were the children of that rich man).

Both of them wanted to attract as little attention as possible, so they chose a rarely visited place with few residents.

'I think this is a good house to live in. Not only is it close to the workplaces of low-level people, but it also has an exit to a section where powerful people pass through at night. Since it's a fairly touristy area among the poor, suspicions about us will be less.' After looking at the house, Matt thought, and both settled there that night.

"Tomorrow, we will start investigating the city, and in the evenings, we will carry out the designated plan. During this time, try not to use your power for anything." Matt said, and Alice nodded back at him.

She went to sleep soon after, leaving Matt alone.

He looked at the sky, and the three moons stationed there made him think of several things. Something about this city didn't add up for him.

'Why do I feel that the earth is hot? Although it's not too noticeable, there's something strange about the earth that matches the coldness of the night... It's the first city I've felt this strange warmth and I don't understand why.' Matt felt slightly confused by this.

Also, when he came here, the herbs that were growing there were different from those in most of the world.

Those herbs were different, but he couldn't understand where the difference was.

'It feels like... There's sunshine.' He thought but frowned and shook his head.

'I'd better stop thinking about nonsense and go to sleep.' In the end, he went into the house and went to sleep quietly.

It was already more than evident that the sun in this place had been destroyed; how could there be sun?

Maybe he was using his human logic to think about it, but he forgot that this world is not governed by human logic...

.

Alice stood up in great pain. She felt as if her skin was being fried, and that made her fearful.

And as soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a deep pain in them as strange lightning entered them.

"Ahhhh!" a great cry of pain escaped from her mouth as a large number of sunbeams clamped tightly onto her skin, her eyes, and her entire body.

Although she was in a room with a window, this window did not stop those sunbeams from entering. Moreover, as soon as she opened her eyes, she stared at that strange luminary up there, floating like a terrifying star described in the ancestral books.

Staring at the sun for a human would already receive damage that could become irreparable; what would it be for a vampire? By nature, they have a tremendous weakness to the sun. More so, one who has never been to a world with the sun.

So her eyes soon began to scorch as if they were under the terrifying fire, which made her fall backward, trembling with fear.

Just at that precise moment, Matt came running into the room.

'Sunshine!' His mind buzzed in shock after looking out the window. He immediately saw Alice's condition, so he ran to her and covered the window with the large tablecloths.

At the same time, he covered Alice's body with his own and noticed that her eyes were bleeding. In fact, at this point, she was about to lose her sight.

'Shit.' In shock, Matt put Alice's head on his neck.

"Take all the blood you want; it will help. Trust me." He said softly, gently hugging Alice around the waist so as to not hurt her.

She could hardly see; even hearing was a challenge for her. But her instinct and the few words she could understand from what Matt told her made her immediately sink her fangs into Matt's neck.

Soon, she felt a strange, powerful blood rushing down her throat. Such delicious blood was the best thing she had ever tasted in her life, so much so that her body grabbed strength and hugged him tightly so as not to let him go.

Matt noticed this and smiled at her. He removed the part of the clothing that covered her neck and dug his teeth in there to allow them to become a Bloody Couple finally.

However, as soon as Matt did this, he immediately noticed that something strange and different was happening.

Their vampiric energies swirled gently around them, blending in a perfect symbiosis. Two figures soon materialized behind them.

Those materializations of vampiric power were staring at each other, and soon after, the figure representing Alice partially knelt in front of Matt's figure.

That drastic change stunned them, but Alice didn't want to consider it. She held tightly to Matt, feeling that he could give her a warmth she had never felt before.
