Thanks to System's analysis ability, I can see information about some things, although most of them have a rather vague description.
Although it's enough to get an idea of how strong he is compared to me.
This female wolf is a comparison.
She seems tired, to the point that her vitality began to drop from exhaustion.
On the other hand, the rabbit does not seem to be as tired as the wolf.
Should I try attacking her while she's hunting and have two for the price of one?
Silently I move between the trees making sure to face the opposite direction of the wind.
This so that the wolf did not detect my scent.
Out of nowhere, the wolf manages to trap the rabbit between her jaws, biting its neck and crushing it immediately.
To my surprise he doesn't eat it right away.
Instead she sat on the grass breathlessly.
What are you planning?
Maybe it's a mother looking for food for her young?
Ugh.... Not if I should kill her now, I'm not cruel enough to take her life and have her children alone in this world, though....
Climbing to the branch of a tree from its trunk, I begin to look around and I don't notice anything.
Maybe they are in a cave?
No no no...
I can't put myself in the place of a monster, certainly now I'm not human but I have the mentality of one, I'm not ruthless.
But if I don't attack I won't have another chance to fight a wolf, besides where is his pack.
I've read that wolves usually hunt in packs, so why is there only one, even if I look around. I see no sign of any more wolves approaching.
Maybe he was kicked out of the pack?
But still...
Gritting my teeth a bit followed by my hand I take out the blood knife I've been practicing with.
Giving a jump I positioned myself on top of the wolf which did not notice my presence.
Launch!
Slash!
Shock!
The blood knife shot out at full speed.
A second later it was nailed to the back of the animal which began to scream in pain from the sudden pain.
Falling to the ground I begin to roll to reduce the damage from the impact.
After compiling myself, I see with surprise how that path stood up with its eyes turned in fury and murderous intentions.
However, I will not retire.
Using everything I've learned these days I created two blood knives which were similar to the first one.
The wolf jumps to bite me but I already expected that movement.
Flash! Flash!
Shock! Shock!
Quickly the two knives hit the body of the wolf who was forced to divert his trajectory to my left.
Now he had three knives in his body.
Summoning a fourth knife, he threw it towards the wolf who moved his head avoiding the fatal blow, but he did not escape unscathed.
His left eye now doesn't work when cut.
"AWOOOO...!"
The pain-enraged beast leaps at me as I cast even more knives.
However, when he was about to throw another two knives, his body collapsed on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
Ha.
It seems that I win.
...I'm sorry but it's the law of nature the strongest wins in the end.
Standing up I grab the rabbit and then the wolf where I return to my hill so I can rest and eat something, I spend a lot of blood to form the knives and feel a little dizzy from anemia.
Even if I am now a vampire progenitor I do not escape dying for lack of blood.
Since I now have three, two rabbits and a wolf, I will last at least 3 days before I have to leave this place, to start hunting beasts.
This battle with the wolf gives me a rough idea of how strong I am.
Leaving the body of the wolf aside I begin to skin it in a very bad way since I have never done it before.
But while I was doing it, I noticed something on his chest.
Curiously, I open the wolf's chest and notice that at the bottom there was a sphere the size of a marble.
Without hesitation he used Analysis.
[Mana Core]
Mana Core?
What is a Mana Core?
Curious about this new discovery, I use analysis on my body.
I look at my chest and...
[Vampire Mana Core (Rank 1: Early Stage)
That.
I have never seen this before, Mana core maybe it will be another power system that is not based on conventional magic or maybe it is those cultivation novels or something like that.
But what exactly does Mana Core mean?
[Vampire Mana Core (Rank 1: Initial Stage) The Mana Core of a Vampire, a special organ that every living being is born with that aids in the cultivation of Mana, the flow of Mana around the body, and the perception of Mana by the Host. It can be developed by absorbing Mana from the environment or from food and special materials.]
...
It's certainly interesting information, I guess that's why my level wasn't showing up in the system since he's using some kind of other power meter.
Although I had a slight hunch since since I accessed my Mana I feel like my internal Mana circulated through my chest and stomach.
Looking again at my status, I notice that the current Rank I am in appears, so I use analyze to find out more about these ranks.
[Mana cultivation ranges.]
Rank 1, Mana Awakening Stage.
Rank 2, Mana Core Power Realm
Rank 3, Mana Core Expansion Realm
Rank 4, Mana Refinement Stage
Rank 5, Soul Vein Awakening Realm
Rank 6, Mana Core Divine Aura Awakening
Rank 7, Mana Core Stage and Soul Fusion
Rank 8, Soul Fusion and Divine Aura
Rank 9, Soul Divine Mana Creation
So I'm at the bottom huh?
Seriously I have a lot of things to do from now on to get stronger, also each Rank is divided into three stages.
Initial Stage, Middle Stage and High Stage. When you reach this stage you need to face a being of a higher stage than yours in order to move up to the next stage.
Now I really need to get stronger I'm at the bottom of the bottom so let's get to work.
Grabbing that core, he put it into my mouth where I started to chew it, it was a bit uncomfortable but in the end I was able to do it successfully.
Doorbell!
[Thanks to the unique ability System you can ingest the core mana of your enemies to acquire part of their strength to your own.]
...
For some reason I feel a little heavier but that feeling was gone.
Who would have thought that after eating a simole mana core from this wolf I would get so many points.
My vitality is high and my mana should have already hit 200 along with that my dexterity should be at 100 by now.
Hey System, why did I get power by eating that sphere?
[Answer. Upon eating the Mana Core the Immortal Body unique ability activated, where it converted the Mana Core into calories and power for the Host.]
No doubt this Immortal Body Skill and I will get along very well in the future.
