Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 294: A simple but effective plan

Matt stared at her. 'Millions of years and a very powerful man...' He thought.

Somehow, he thought of the Dietrich Era. Maybe it happened during that time.

"What pact was broken?"

At his question, the spirit shook his head sideways.

"I don't know. But that goes along with the weirdness of vampires. Anyone who can use mana can summon us. Vampires back then could do that, being one of the reasons they were able to reign. But when the pact was broken, vampires stopped being able to use mana. That's really weird."

Matt frowned. This was precious information to him.

During the last few days that he has been researching mana, he has realized that to use mana; he needs to be able to control his power and reach a certain level in the Path of Control. That being the case, he would expect that all vampires in the past who could use mana would have reached that level.

But now this spirit is telling him that all vampires could use mana before.

'It seems that there are more secrets in the race than I know. It doesn't matter for now, though. Eventually, I'll have to look into it. Maybe I can find some interesting things.' Instead of mortifying his head with things he possibly won't find out with so little strength and status, it would be best to relegate it to do so in the future when he has what he needs.

Therefore, he decided to return to the main topic. "Forget it then. I don't want to touch on deep subjects now that I'm so relaxed. What do you think of my proposal? Don't you want me to become your summoner?" he asked, walking up to stare into her eyes.

"I am very interested in you, in your power, and in the destiny that brought me here," he said, smiling softly.

She couldn't look away from Matt's eyes for a second. "The destiny that brought you here?" hesitantly, she asked that question.

Matt shrugged. "That's right. I have a lot of doubts in my head, you know? And since a few days ago, those doubts have increased due to numerous issues."

"I see..."

After considering various things, she was not against what he had proposed. It wasn't a bad proposal if she thought about it correctly; after all, she had a lot of grievances with her current summoner. Besides, the person before her was a man worthy of summoning her.

Having compatibility with all orders of spirits is an amazing thing, even if it can sometimes be a bit problematic because of various issues regarding the spirits' diverse personalities. But, if she were the first one summoned, that wouldn't be something she should worry about.

Matt looked at her thoughtfully, so she decided to speak up. "I don't think I'm a bad choice for you. Not to praise me, but I'm somewhat different than any vampire out there today. My quirks will surely surprise you when you see them. Besides, if you're so bored and disappointed by your summoner's abilities, with me I don't think you will be."

She looked at him and sighed. "If we're going to do it, we at least need a proper plan, don't we? You can't just go around killing people just like that just because you feel like it."

"Well, that's true. The Academy leaders might kill me if I do that, and right now, I can't fight them. But don't worry, I already have a way to do that."

"What's your plan?"

"It's easy. I was thinking of asking that woman to help me investigate some things. I think your power and her current status should be enough, so, being that she wants my secrets, she might decide to move against me at that time, and that would be the time to assassinate her. For that, naturally, it would be best if you help her without showing much.

She and her greed will lead her to a dead end then."

The spirit in front of Matt frowned. The plan seemed to be very simple, but it was straight to the point and used that woman's interest in him to lure her in.

'A simple plan, but effective.' She smiled.

"That plan might do the trick. I have a few ways to see what you want and in fooling her about her own destiny, so it won't be much of a problem in taking effect."

Matt smiled broadly then and sat back down in his seat.

"Haha, good. I like that better now. Good, then let the plan come out that way." He said and after a moment like that, he remembered why he came here.

"That's right, I came here to find out what my compatibilities were. But if I am compatible with any kind of spirit, what inscription should I use when I want to summon a spirit?" he asked curiously.

"All of them. You must draw all four inscriptions within the largest inscription. That will allow you to form a connection with the four types of orders that exist. But..." She paused for a moment, catching Matt's attention.

"But?"

She smiled, "Actually there is a way that you don't have to draw the four main inscriptions. Those inscriptions are only used for normal people, who only have 1, 2 or even 3 compatibilities. But if you have compatibility with all four types, it means you also have compatibility with the fifth type." He replied.

"There are five types? What's the fifth one?"

"The essence, I think. I don't know its name, but it's a type of spirit that is very powerful. I don't know what their powers are like, but they say that when you see them, you can tell.

Also, the inscription that characterizes them encompasses the other four, so you'll only need to make one inscription, which is much simpler than all of them." When she said that, she didn't bother to say any more words and immediately started drawing an inscription on the ground.

In a short time, the inscription was done so Matt could see it.

'It's certainly easier to draw and learn. But somehow, it feels deeper despite the fact that I can see everything on it at a glance. What an oddly peculiar inscription.'

Matt immediately tried to do the inscription on his own to not waste any more time.

So it was an hour before he was finally able to do it. Although it looked simple, it was actually a bit complicated to make because of the peculiarity that it bore the other four inscriptions inside. These inscriptions were reflected as a few strange, complex lines. Even so, he could learn it faster than the spirit, who took advantage of the moment to teach him something else.

"This inscription is for you to form a connection with this world. That connection is much stronger than the one you currently have because it is a connection associated with your body and soul simultaneously."

"Even so, you must keep several things in mind. First, under no circumstances should you let the Supreme Castle know that you have that kind of connection to the Spirit World. Second..." She explained to him very seriously the different subjects he needed to know.

Matt didn't know it, but she was basically giving him the method to summon the best spirits with the best possible compatibility.
