Chapter 23: Testing the effectiveness of Vampirism

Matt simply smiled and began to tell them.

It was pretty simple: during the whole fight, he was circling from side to side with blood storage devices without anyone noticing and only occasionally hit some devourer. Also, thanks to the chaos, he could slay several malicious vampires, although he did not say the latter.

After all, although Matt doesn't care if these belong to his own race or not and simply sees the blood inside them, Alice does care about them.

She looks out for her race and has a hero's heart. Perhaps she has a nature similar to what Matt had in his previous life, and Matt does not need to change her mind. Therefore, he avoided telling her these details.

But, thanks to his cunning way of fighting, he got a lot of devourer and vampire blood, so with the blood Gray sent, they are fully resupplied.

Thus, they spent several hours talking until Isla went to sleep, for the next day, they had to leave.

Matt and Alice stayed up talking; she seemed to have much to tell him. The joy and happiness on her face were evident as she told him about the different things she had done during the last few days. She saw Matt as very close to her, so she opened up to him, telling him everything until late at night.

Likewise, Matt told her different things and showed her his new power level, which, after the battle, was at 3,150.

Although Alice was stunned, she was still glad that Matt was getting so strong.

After talking for several hours, Alice went to sleep.

The next day, it was time to go to Trade City.

During the night, Matt was left thinking about several things regarding his abilities again.

Still, this time, he only wanted to check one thing, so he left the room and went to the small training room of this place.

The main topic on his mind was Vampirism. Naturally, he already knows it is unique.

But that is precisely what he wants to check with numbers.

That's why he brought Alice's vampire ball, blood, a container to hold the blood, and books.

'According to this book, this amount of blood processed under an intense 1-hour training should increase a maximum power amount of 10.' He thought as he poured some blood into the container.

He checked several times that this was the amount, and after that, he swallowed it.

Immediately, the Vampirism began to do its work, and Matt activated the training puppets in this place to solo them.

They move with a simple and crude mechanism, but they are made of iron and have weight magic on top of them, so they are tough and cumbersome.

After doing this, he confronted these puppets. A heavy blow slammed into one of these in a versatile manner, sending it flying. Then, Matt moved his hands to the other side to hit the other puppet that was moving awkwardly.

They were so heavy that pushing them was difficult, but they couldn't hit either, so there was no danger.

So, Matt focused on continually beating the various puppets in the place as he pounced on them in a workout that had him sweating and rubbing his hands together several times.

'They're really tough.' He thought, looking at his hands a bit. They were red, and his bones seemed affected inside. Still, he didn't stop pounding them continuously for a whole hour until he finally gasped slightly from exhaustion and leaned back.

He sat on the ground to rest and tried to recheck his power.

Before the training, his power was 3,150. The last thousand increased thanks to arduous training in that good practice room.

His hands were red, but even so, he didn't care. He simply tested his new strength on the ball.

Soon, the number came up.

-3,170-

It said, which left him thoughtful.

'From 3,150 up to 3,170 in 1 hour of training, taking that amount of blood... I should have only increased to 3,160. Is my Vampirism that effective?' He thought.

While he had felt it since he came to this world and had seen the results very well, this was the first time he had the chance to test it and see the numbers right after the training, so it was more exciting.

This made him smile, and he stood up.

But, just then, he felt someone's presence and turned around.

"Isla?" Matt asked hesitantly as he saw Isla entering the training room.

She was also surprised to find him here but smiled.

"Matt, are you training? I thought you didn't use this room." She replied as she approached, and Matt nodded to her.

"Do you come to train often?" he asked, and she nodded.

"I always come; even though many say it's ineffective, my power still advances if I put in the effort. Though lately, I feel it's not as effective as it used to be." She replied, smiling.

Making Matt nod, 'What a good girl, I didn't misjudge her. It's worth it to train her and watch her progress.' He thought and smiled at her.

"Let's train together. It will be more effective if we activate the mechanisms for pair training." He suggested, and she nodded quickly, cheerfully.

"Fine, let's train together." She replied cheerfully.

"I will be testing my power after every 1-hour training, so I will activate the mechanism every 1 hour." He spoke.

Isla didn't mind; in fact, that would also be a good thing for her, as seeing her own progress would help her know whether she was trying hard enough or not.

So, soon, the mechanism was activated. This time, a total of 10 puppets came out and moved towards them at a faster speed. They still did not hit, but if they allowed them to reach the wall behind them, they would enter the wall and go through the mechanism, causing them to lose time.

So, they stood before these and began fighting hard for an hour while constantly beating these tough puppets.
