Chapter 231: One month
Chapter 231: One month
A month passed quickly again.
During these weeks, the Capital City has been on a silent alarm, where they have not stopped searching for the vampires that ravaged the academy some time ago.
The fact that a vampire had thoroughly infiltrated the academy and killed one of the talented youngsters was painful for the academy's leadership. Moreover, the public embarrassment they were going through due to such weak vampires escaping them was such that it prevented them from going out on the streets freely.
Throughout that month, Matt and all the women he had turned into vampires were active. On top of that, Ava Thompson was actively looking for Abyl Taylor, but the reality was that she was simply being a decoy to lure more capable women to Matt's side. Thus, the vampire 'population' in the Empire's Capital City had seen a significant increase, unnoticed by the humans.
He had been working around that slum and had noticed many good things during this time.
He confirmed that he was becoming more powerful as more women turned into vampires, making him more open. He has been turning more and more women into vampires and has a more 'friendly' relationship with Alice, who is basically the closest woman to him right now.
Also, the relationship with Ava Thompson is quite good, as the compatibility between the two is great, so Matt tends to suck her blood frequently. Thanks to that, she has become stronger as well.
Still, he's repeatedly wondered if being such a person is a good thing for him. After all, although he hasn't crossed the line with any, the truth is that he's been living very closely with different women these days, sometimes sleeping together, although that tends to annoy Alice when she's not the one sleeping with him.
That has Matt racking his brain, wondering if it's okay. Still, he doesn't have too many problems, as he's managed to get stronger in a big way throughout this month.
But another question has also been on his mind.
As he turns more and more humans into vampires, he wonders, Who is he? And he has thought seriously about it.
An existence capable of changing someone else's race so easily and so perfectly is unbelievable. With alchemy and necromancy, such a thing is impossible, and Matt is sure of it because he has been intensively researching those hex items.
That being the case, what and who is he?
It's a question with many riddles that seem difficult to answer, which is why he decided to leave it for later.
Then there is the issue with his research these past few days regarding his amazing skill.
Above all, the issue of compatibility. He realized that the more compatible he is with someone, the more power he will grant her by sucking their blood.
That was why the boost it gave Alice was the biggest among all the people because the two are highly compatible. The same thing happens with Ava; she is so compatible with Matt that she receives a more significant boost than the rest of the people who have been turned into vampires.
Also, the more compatible a person is with Matt, the faster they will finish their 'transformation', so compatibility is important when it comes to making a big move with this ability.
Those were his current conclusions, which were enough.
Despite that, continuing to turn people into vampires infinitely was not possible.
Not because the ability was limited but because, sooner or later, humans would notice.
Matt was witnessing that right now as he watched from the top of a building a group of powerful people investigating the surroundings of the square where he worked.
They were talking in hushed tones, but Matt could hear them, and he could tell they were envoys of that Imperial Princess.
'That woman seems to be completely sure I'm around... She even knows we're that 'vampire couple' that infiltrated the empire months ago. She's a perceptive woman, or maybe she has a special ability?' Matt thought.
Next to him were Alice and Ava.
Ava smiled a little before reaching up to grasp Matt's hand. "My Lord, why don't you relax a little and rest? You've been working hard these days; now that those guys are already looking for you, I think it's time for us to go back to the mansion.
Don't worry, I will attend to you very well in everything you demand of me." She said, smiling softly as she brought Matt's hand to hug her waist, and she pushed her big breasts into Matt's body.
He looked at her and shook his head. This woman had been like this ever since she had been turned into a vampire. Somehow, she was determined to seduce Matt.
Still...
Soon, Ava jumped back as a hand reached across the wind, trying to punch her in the chest.
Alice's claws were showing firmly at that moment, and she suddenly clawed at the space, pushing Ava back.
"Hmph, I've told you before, Ava Thompson, don't put your hands on Matt." Alice replied forcefully and stopped looking at her. Instead, she intertwined her hand with Matt's and leaned back on his shoulder, smiling softly.
Still, the other part of her body was fully alert, ready to hit that woman one more time in case she approached with crazy intentions again.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Ava. Ever since Alice's personality developed after killing a few Grand Sorcerers and consuming the blood, she has become slightly overprotective of Matt, especially towards women with beauty like Ava's.
Ava sighed after seeing this and shook her head. "Tsk, Miss Alice, you may be the officer, but it's no good keeping him all to yourself. That attack could have cut my head off if I had been slow. Is that any way to mark territory? Tsk, tsk, true vampires sure are fierce." Ava laughed mockingly, but the reality was that she didn't come close.
Alice was scary when she got that way, so it was best to keep her distance.
"Matt, what do we do from now on? The screams you let out were what caused this square to be targeted by those guys now." Alice ignored Ava and looked at Matt to ask this, and he nodded.
"That's what it's all about. They have been investigating this square and this whole neighborhood for 10 days now, and in those 10 days, I left some traces for them to be convinced that it was the vampires that did it. Now, I will just need to divide their forces, creating different screams in various parts, to try to attract a more powerful person.
It's time to try to enter the great spheres of human society." He replied, smiling softly, and disappeared along with Alice.
Ava looked at this and was stunned. 'Tsk, he's heading to the mansion, and he's only taking Miss Alice with him. Shit, what favoritism.' She thought, grumbling, and followed them quickly.
