Vicente and his group would spend the next week in the ancient capital of the Kenyth Empire.
Given the rapid decay rate of vampire blood, the group needed to absorb the hundreds of liters of blood from Vicente's victims immediately. Otherwise, this precious resource would be wasted.
However, absorbing vampire blood was not like drinking water. One had to meditate for at least a few days to fully absorb a few tens of milliliters of blood.
To ensure the group's safety, Vicente stayed behind in the capital with the survivors held hostage by the monsters.
Since he wouldn't benefit from drinking the blood, since his victims were much weaker than him, he spent the days working around the city, gathering resources and helping to establish a security perimeter in the area.
He took advantage of the many mineral resources in the area, as well as the high-quality magical artifacts the vampires had ordered their slaves to make, to create armor and firearms.
