Damian followed Leon to an abandoned warehouse " This place was used for producing cars in the past but filed for bankruptcy ".
Damian nodded and went to the far end of the warehouse and started stretching " By the way don't use any game-changing moves for example I won't use the city destroying one you saw me use so for you that would be blood apocalypse. ". Leon nodded and asked, " Master if I damage you once can I ask for a reward? ". Damian dashed towards him and punched him right in the ribs breaking a few " Sure ".
Leon flew out crashing into a steel fence nearby. He controlled his blood flow to around his ribs and they healed in a second ' Vampires are known for their weakness to sunlight while also known for their immense healing and physical factor. '. Leon looked over to his status window that appeared after he became a vampire and wondered ' Are these my stats including my vampiric strength? Only one way to find out '. Leon swiftly dodged another punch before strengthening his feet and adding a small thin layer of blood on his shoes ' Reduce the friction, empower my legs then shoot high pressurised blood from my feet to become quick as possible '.
Leon was thinking about all the techniques he could pull off and put them all into separate mental slots ' If I can make mental slots for each set of components that make up a boost I can quickly switch between, 1. Speed. By applying all 3 into a mental slot I can quickly speed up surprising the enemy. 2. Strength. By directing my blood to my arms I can punch harder while also shooting blood out of my elbow to speed up the punch making it even more powerful. 3. Endurance. By directing my blood to where the blow will hit me I can lessen the damage. 4. Magic. By converting blood into mana I can make my blood magic even more powerful. perfect '.
Leon pumped his fists together and then made gauntlets out of blood " I'm ready now master ". Damian smiled seeing him adapt quickly to the fight. Damian dashed in aiming for the back of his chest but Leon dodged it perfectly and almost landed a hit Damian quickly swivelled on the ground before backing away ' So he can sense my presence using his blood control. '.
Damian made a whip of fire and dashed again. He dashed past Leon but grabbed him with the whip allowing him to fling him into the air before slamming him down. Damian stood on top of the warehouse looking at the dust cloud before being knocked through the roof into the ground.
He quickly got up seeing Leon with his legs thicker than usual with thick red veins pulsating. " Clever ". Damian thought about something and wanted to try it.
He ran around the warehouse leaving miniscule strands of hardened flames everywhere he went with Leon following close behind him. Damian stopped in the middle of the warehouse with Leon coming from above doing an axe kick " Hells web ". Damian tightened all the strands trapping Leon in midair.
Damian smiled then punched Leon right in the face but actually hit air. Damian had a bad feeling and turned around to see Leon kick him in the side launching him through the steel wall.
Damian spat out some blood giving him an idea. Damian ran around faster than Leon could see but he was still getting a rough idea with his senses. Damian summoned a tornado of fire where Leon stood distracting him.
Damian cut open his hand before waving his hand and sending his blood all over the floor he channeled his flames into a playing card and then launched it right in front of Leon.
Leon was sent flying back by the card's explosion and got pummeled mid air by Damian launching him right into the ground. Damian raised his fist but had to dodge due to Leon shooting a blood dart out of his mouth but it still managed to graze his neck. Damian began to rain down punches with his right hand while closing his mouth with his left.
Leon was left a bruised mess before getting up and healing in a matter of seconds then sat down " You win ". Damian smiled and told him to get up " You just don't know how to make use of your blood yet I would've lost 100% if you knew how to use it but im still a rookie with my flame as well. What do you want as a reward after all my neck was bleeding? ".
Leon bowed " Please may I have some of your blood master ". Damian was grossed at the thought of a guy biting his neck so he quickly denied. Damian and a sad Leon walked back to the host. Going back inside Damian went to the kitchen and grabbed a chalice then poured his blood into it from his hand and gave it to Leon. Leon drank from the glass gracefully.
After he had drunk the entire glass he smiled happily before feeling a burning sensation in his blood and was forced to kneel. Damian watched the scene in fascination. Damian picked up Leon and ran to the warehouse quickly. Realising where they were Leon screamed loudly for minutes before calming down " What was that about? ". Leon shook his head indicating he didn't know either but it was still the most delicious thing he had ever tasted. Damian chuckled and gave his thanks before a system message appeared.
{ Leon has drunk blood of the king of flames }
{ Leon can now use burning blood }
{ Skill: Burning blood: MP cost: Varies, generally high. Able to inject flames into your blood causing massive spikes in damage but will also cause damage to the user. Able to explode blood }
Damian smiled at his slave getting even stronger than decided that he really needed to get some sleep. Damian and Leon walked back again. Damian went to his room and rested in Alice's grasp while his head rested in between her boobs. While Leon went to his room and practised his blood magic.
Alice woke up with Damian in her embrace she kissed his forehead and hugged him tighter ' hehe I'm so glad I won that game of rock paper scissors with Isabella. '. Damian woke up being suffocated and punched Alice out of the bed then started to cough " Are you trying to kill me holy hell. ".
Alice apologised while on all 4s on the ground " Whatever gets ready it's 09:30, we need to get going. ". Damian got up and went to the bathroom to shower. He spent the next half an hour washing himself and drying off.
Damian looked at the mirror and noticed that his body was getting more muscular, appearing slightly more bulky. " I really hope I don't get too big ". He messed around with his brown hair. " I wonder if I should style my hair? ".
He thought about what he would look like with different hair styles and quickly shut down those ideas. Damian kept on observing himself in the mirror ' I actually look quite normal still '. He had brown eyes and hair with a sharp face. The only thing that stood out was his height standing at 6'3. He stopped worrying about his appearance and waited outside standing under the blazing sun after asking Isabella for a leaving gift which she happily gave. ' If Leon is a vampire will he be affected by the sun? Maybe blood weavers had a counter? or can he turn back like the others? '.
{ Leon can't be changed back into a human, he will remain a vampire forever }
' Thanks for the help system, very curious now to see how he will counter it '. Damian heard the other 4 approaching him and turned to look at them and saw Leon still looking like a vampire but he had a blood-red ring on. All 3 girls were asking him about his transformation which he just stated was a mutation that accidentally occurred last night when he was working in his lab. Damian thought that was the dumbest excuse ever but it seemed to work for the girls.
Alice ran towards Damian and clung onto his left arm while he patted her head " Everybody ready? ". Everybody nodded as they walked to the arena. " Hey Leon what's the ring for? And what do you think will be the tournament/test format today? ".
" The ring has a spell inside that runs on my blood and feeds it back to me so it's pretty much an infinite source while it also absorbs sunlight so I don't have to worry about a vampire's weakness. ". Damian was talking to Leon at the back of the group while the other 3 talked about wanting to get breakfast before the test.
Damian sighed thinking they weren't very focused but couldn't blame him as he was also hungry. " Hey Leon, think you're able to get 5 pastries from the bakery near the mansion and get to the test in time? ". " Leave it to me, master, I'll be right back ".
Damian gave him some money and saw him disappear ' He got way faster. What did he do last night? '. The girls looked back and saw Damian by himself and asked where Leon went " Just running an errand he'll be back for the test.".
The girls nodded and continued to talk about breakfast. After 15 minutes Leon came back right as they were in the queue for the test " Welcome back ". Leon smiled then gave him 4 pasteris " Did you already take yours? ". Leon nodded " Yes sir I assume that it was one each I apologise if it wasn't ".
Damian laughed then said it was fine and shared the pasteris, they ate while talking in the training room. Damian saw a new machine and pointed it out " What's that? ". Leon went over with shining eyes " It's a highly advanced medical recovery pod, resting in one for just 10 minutes feels like 8 hours of sleep and recovers all pain while also healing you fully. The cheapest model cost 100 million, This one though would cost close to 2 billion ".
" That's correct so stop corrupting my pod with your filthy air. " All 5 of them turned towards the person and saw a beautiful woman with shining golden hair with a sword by her side while covering her mouth with a fan. Damian could feel Abigail glaring at her with bloodlust making him a bit curious but decided against asking right now, instead, he focused on the girl in front of him ' Damn why do half the people in this city have such stacked bodies ' Damian was observing the woman up and down focusing on her boobs and ass which were both quite big.
" Who are you? " Leon asked while backing away from the machine as there was no reason to keep on aggravating the person. The woman stomped her feet and pointed towards them with her fan " How dare you not recognize your princess. I am Chloe Storm the only princess in this kingdom and the only beautiful woman as well for that matter. ". Damian chuckled a bit then walked away " This ain't worth it come back team it's almost time anyway ".
They could still hear her complaining behind them but gave it no thought " I wonder what she's even doing here. Surely she would have her own private room or something ". Damian asked his team but they all shrugged.
10 minutes later the doors automatically opened even though there was no announcement asking them to walk through them they did anyway following yesterday. The crowd seemed even more fired up today as it was significantly louder. Once all 50 teams were in the arena Alan appeared in the sky again. " Hello everybody I can see that you are all here, good good. Now how today will work is that it will be 2 teams against each other one at a time. For example, we will have a team vs another team while the others just sit back and relax. It will be quite slow but we have plenty of time and it's the most engaging this way. Now I will be giving you new team numbers as well from 1-50, Please keep track of your number or I'll lose my mind. Each team leader holds out your hand with your palm facing the sky. ".
Damian held his hand up and a small snowflake appeared in his hand with the number 4 on it ' Hopefully we are up first I wanna rest '.
After everybody had gotten their numbers a huge wheel appeared in the sky with numbers from 1-50 on it. Alan put his hand on the wheel " This will decide the teams battling so there's no foul play. " Alan spun the wheel hard. The wheel's dial hitting the metal made quite the sound, like a bell.
The first spin landed on 23, Alan spun it again while Damian stared intensely at the wheel as it slowly spun towards 4 then it suddenly stopped right on 4. " 4 and 23 come up to the arena ".
A huge arena made of steel rose from the ground. It was a basic one like an old boxing ring with the only difference being in size. The arena seemed to be 100 metres by 100 metres making quite the size.
Damian jumped into the arena along with his teammates and looked towards the opposing team " So it seems they have a tank, 2 archers, a healer, and a swordsman. " Damian told his team while looking at the enemy team's weapons and clothing. Damian called out to the opposing team asking them their ranks which they responded by saying they would only tell if they told.
Damian shouted out " 3 A-Ranks, 2 B-ranks. Now you go ". The enemy leader shouted out " 4 A-Ranks and 1 B-rank ". Damian waved and turned to Leon " Can you take them all at once? ". Leon bowed " Shouldn't be an issue, sir. "
Damian smiled and patted him on the shoulder when walking past him to Alice " Don't lose, Alice lap now. ". Alice smiled and then sat on the ground followed by Damian who laid down on her lap. Maddie and Abigail didn't know what to do but eventually sat down and started playing on their phones.
The enemy leader seeing them only sent one guy laughed then banged his huge shield on the steel floor " Ready ". Damian just gave a thumbs up in response while a worker appeared in the sky. " 3, 2, 1, GO ". The tank charged in followed closely by the swordsman while the archers and healer stayed back. The archers started standing barrages of arrows into the sky while the healer buffed the tank giving him extra defence and health. The crowd was excited to see the pale man get pummelling.
Leon waved his hand conjuring a huge blanket of blood that collected all the arrows and dumped them beside him while he used Blood Building to summon 4 golems with a dark red shine to them. The golems intercepted the tank and swordsman while Leon got into a running position. ' Slot 1 speed '. Leon shot forward quickly, arriving in front of the healer ' Slot 2 strength '.
Leon punched the healer in the chest and saw him shoot out into the arena wall making a dent in the steel wall. He quickly activated his defence on both his shoulders causing the archer's arrows to feel like nothing. He started to weave blood between his fingers creating a web that he threw at the closest archer then giving the further one the same treatment as the healer. The archer stuck in the web started to scream as the blood began to harden and tighten using the steel in the arena floor as a thickener. The archer felt the web begin getting tighter and tighter until it severed both his arms and his left leg. Leon cancelled the web and grabbed the archer before using the blood flowing from his body as a material and guiding all the blood back into the archer before expanding it causing him to inflate like a balloon. Leon stared into his dreaded-looking gaze and muttered " And pop goes the weasel ". The archer was then blown up completely scattering blood and guts everywhere around him. Focusing back on the tank and swordsman they were both being held by a golem each while the other two took turns punching them and using them like dolls before chucking them out.
Leon took the blood and guts from all over the arena and sent them up into the air as big bold words. Winner Team 4. He walked back and bowed in front of his master. " How did I do master? ". Leon saw his master give him a thumbs up and a compliment for the archer balloon, filling him with glee ' I can do anything I want under master. I'll make so many more spectacles for you master '.
