After leaving the scene of the previous battle, Vicente's group traveled for a few hours until they reached a relatively safe area, where they once again hid to recover and absorb the spoils of battle.
The more they used vampire blood, the more they did it in a stint of time, the less the essence would affect their bodies. This was especially true if the essence was of a quality that had already been consumed before, i.e., from enemies of similar strength to previous enemies.
Still, vampire blood was much better than potions or healing pills, even for a being who could not become stronger by consuming it.
Once they had found a good spot and Vicente had divided up the parts of the corpses they had got, each of the group took their share of the booty and began their retreat.
