Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 71: This is very difficult

'Shit, this is really hard... I wonder how many years it will take me to master it...' He thought, holding his breath.

He realized it wasn't as simple as he had thought.

This was only a tiny part of what he would have to do, the part of keeping all his unleashed power under control.

But, even if it was a small part, the fact that he had accomplished it in an hour or two was already a great achievement for him, so the smile on his face was one of pure happiness.

At the same time, he started with the following.

He slowly began to raise his arms, but as soon as he did that, he had to widen his eyes firmly and his mind with determination so that his power would not get out of control because, with every slightest movement he made, his power began to stir slowly, as he tried to hit the barriers imposed by his ability to control.

It was a natural occurrence: When you try to keep something under control, even if you gain perfect control of that something when it is stationary, once it starts moving, it is harder and harder to keep it there.

That's why every move adds difficulty, but what's the point if you don't move it? Keeping his power under control when he is immobile won't do him much good; he still needs to fight the enemy he may have in front of him, so he needs to move.

That's why Matt didn't give up even though he was sweating and his head was hurting.

He continued to raise both arms at a minimal but steady speed.

And so, several minutes passed until he finally brought his arms into a bent-over position.

Still, the blood vessels in his eyes revealed the sheer difficulty of this, and the veins bulging all over his body showed the difficult time he was going through.

His head hurt to the point of throbbing at this point due to the sheer amount of things he needed to process.

'Shit... This is so hard...' He thought and tried to breathe a little while maintaining that posture.

But, soon, the blood was coming to his throat, so he had to close his mouth tightly. At the same time, his power exploded sideways, sending him flying across the lonely room.

"Buagh." A spurt of blood spurted out of his mouth then, as he felt several veins in his body rupture from the impact.

The backlash of his vampiric power was strong enough to damage him inside. Still, he wasn't going to give up.

'I know perfectly well how difficult it is to reach the greatest heights. I know very well that the good road is always the hardest to travel, so I must keep trying.' He thought and stood up again.

He walked to the same place and started with the same procedure.

This time, it was more difficult because of the internal wound he was carrying, but still... At the end of the process, his body shot backward again and collided with one of the walls of the room.

'Again...' He thought and did it once more.

At that moment, his body flew at a faster speed due to not being able to control even an iota of his power, so he hit hard into one of the columns in the room, causing him to feel severe pain in his spine.

'...How difficult...' He thought with difficulty, though he got back to his feet.

'No gain without difficulty. No victory without risk.' He thought and took a deep breath.

He took out a glass of blood and drank it.

After that, he took a deep breath and exhaled sharply, "Fuuuff..."

He needed to quiet his heart and calm his mind, so after a moment, he returned to standing in the middle of the room.

'The ability to control yourself... Technically, I should be able to do it better than the rest because I was an assassin... Still, why the hell is it so complicated? At this rate, I won't even be able to fight; it could take me years to master this...' Matt thought while his eyes were closed.

'Wait...' He thought and opened his eyes slowly as he looked at the vampiric power unleashed around him.

He hadn't started trying to control it, but he looked at one arm.

He quickly retracted his vampiric power and concentrated it on his right arm.

'Concentration... According to that book, Vampiric Power can be used as Mana, and I have experienced it to some extent; it is even more versatile than Mana...' He thought and frowned slightly.

Just at those moments, his eyes widened.

'That's right, I don't need to control it perfectly!' He thought and looked at his other arm.

Then he moved the vampiric power from his right to his left arm. Although it was a slow and complicated process, it was much easier than controlling it.

'To beat that guy, I just need to concentrate it in one place like I've been doing and move it all over my body at will. That way, I'd have an impregnable defense every time he tries to hit me, but I'd also have an incredibly high attack when he goes to attack.'

'So, I just need to practice my ability to move and manipulate my vampiric power all over my body... That's it! I can create my own vampiric power dance!' Matt thought with a big smile and, without hesitation, started to do it.

His vampiric power concentrated in his left hand quickly moved to his right hand and then back to his left. He moved it up a bit and then to his chest...

It is not easy to do this because he is moving large amounts of vampiric power through a vessel, which, in this case, is his body. Although he owns that vampiric power, his body is not capable enough to use it all at once in one attack unless he wants to break, so he must be careful and do it slowly.

'An ability to manipulate to perfection, vampiric power in a single section of the body and then move it to another quickly... Not easy, but not impossible either.' He thought and smiled.

Soon, he moved the vampiric power faster, transferring it to different body parts.
