Chapter 26 - Recovery of a vampire

This was the third time Lucy used her Spatial Shatterer ability.

As she had an innate talent for using spatial magic, although she was still an Apprentice, she was able to cast terrifying and devastating spells. However, it was clear that her body was not strong enough to endure the repeated use of these high-level spatial magics.

Therefore, after tearing and shattering everything within a fifty-meter radius, part of her body disintegrated as well, showing how much damage she had suffered from the day's events.

Taking the opportunity to escape while the girl in red was being sliced apart by her devastating ability, Lucy struggled and squeezed herself into a spatial tunnel that suddenly appeared behind her, disappearing without a trace.

As blood gushed from every inch of her body, Bleia remained standing where she was, her body broken. There wasn't a single piece of unbroken skin on her body. In her entire life, she had never seen anyone in such a miserable state.

It was as if she had just been thrown through a turbine, as all her skin was torn apart, and her flesh was severely mutilated. Blood continuously streamed from all her wounds, of various sizes, staining her pale white skin a deep red. Beneath her feet, a small puddle of blood was forming.

Leon slowly approached the battlefield.

"Hey… Are you still alive?" Leon asked, his voice trembling.

The bloodied figure trembled, moving her blood-red eyes to look at Leon. A look of extreme thirst completely filled her eyes, which had turned as red as her blood.

"Blood… I need blood… Quickly, give me blood…" The figure spoke in a deep, hoarse voice. If Leon hadn't been paying extra attention, he wouldn't have heard what she said.

Just saying those few words, the movement of her lips caused the muscles in her face to tear again, causing more blood to gush out.

"Don't tell me you want my blood!" An ugly expression immediately appeared on Leon's face.

Judging by the severity of Bleia's injuries, even if she drank every drop of blood in his body, it probably still wouldn't be enough for her to fully recover!

Just when Bleia could barely control herself and was preparing to lunge at Leon, he remembered something. Without hesitation, he pulled out eight bags of blood, which looked like red spheres, from a pocket on his waist. This was something he had "earned" from the Ghost Nanny's nest.

Bleia instantly grabbed the bags of blood and began to swallow them frantically, one by one, proving how terrifying vampires, a species that had inherited from the ancient era, could be. The terrible wounds all over her body began to heal at an incredible speed, and the whole process was so miraculous that Leon simply couldn't believe his eyes.

A second ago she had been dying, looking like she might faint at any moment, but now, it was as if someone had just cast a magical spell that could turn back time. She was recovering at an unbelievable pace.

After devouring three bags of blood, all the small and tiny wounds on her body disappeared, and the larger wounds began to stitch themselves. After swallowing the fifth bag of blood, none of the terrifying-looking wounds on her body remained, and once again her skin, although covered in blood, became smooth and clear. After the seventh bag of blood, her entire body began to glow in blood red, and finally, Bleia came back to life.

When she was about to swallow the last bag of blood, she hesitated, then turned and tossed it back to Leon. She was now fully recovered, so it seemed unnecessary to waste another bag of blood. Looking at Leon's heartbroken face, it was easy to tell that these bags of blood were probably very valuable.

After tossing the bag of blood, a multitude of small cracking sounds came from her body. This was the sound of the crystallized blood in her body starting to crack, falling from her slender and shapely form and revealing her perfect, curvy, seductive, and incredibly naked body to Leon.

Even having lived two lives, at that moment Leon had a strong erection.

Although he tried his best to control himself, he looked at Bleia's body, just as she had looked at him moments before.

Although it seemed she really didn't care.

For some unknown reasons, the chip completed a deep scanning process on its own. Although Leon only took a brief glance at the report, all data related to Bleia was saved in his mind. Furthermore, the Chip thought ahead and saved a 100% accurate and realistic model of Bleia's current appearance...

Name: Bleia

Class: Apprentice Mage (Advanced)

Attributes: Strength: 9 | Agility: 17 | Physique: 10/12 | Spirit: 17/18

Innate Abilities: Vampiric Regeneration and Bat Transformation

Ugh… Just reading those ridiculous numbers made Leon feel like his heart was going to stop beating.

Her agility was 17, which meant she had extraordinary reflexes, and that was why she was able to move so quickly. No wonder that even when she wasn't moving at full speed, she could still produce numerous afterimages to confuse her enemies.

In contrast, her Strength was her weakest attribute, but it was still quite strong.

With a Strength of 9, she could easily wield a two-handed sword with one hand and could send a large man flying with a single punch.

As Leon delved into the world of numbers, Bleia donned her stunning red dress. In fact, her method of dressing seemed impossible. With just a snap of her fingers, the blood beneath her feet began to swirl around her body, moving like a wave of flexible snakes. When they finally stopped, a beautiful red dress appeared on her body.

A round object hit Leon's chest.

Startled, Leon looked down at the object. He was instantly taken aback by the twisted, ugly, and terrifying face in his hands and almost threw it away in fear. But in the next moment, he realized it was Sinbad's head.

"That girl had to make a hasty retreat, but she left this behind. Consider it compensation for all those bags of blood you gave me!" Bleia said, showing a carefree expression as she curled her lips as if she didn't care.

"You… After suffering such a huge defeat, did you get what you were looking for?" Leon couldn't help but ask. When he thought about how she had been so corporeal and disfigured just seconds ago, his heart nearly stopped in shock.

"Hehehe…" Bleia let out a laugh of extreme pleasure when Leon mentioned that, blinding him with an incredible smile and saying, "I devoured a bit of that girl's blood essence, so it will take her at least two or three months to recover! Besides, I have a feeling that the blood of that girl is going to help me make significant progress… Haha..."

Leon was shocked; he was finally beginning to clearly understand why vampires were considered so incredible.

From what the Chip had detected about Bleia's attributes, her Physique was 10/12, and Spirit was 17/18. The first number was her current attribute, and the second value was her potential. Originally, Bleia had a maximum of 10 in Physique and 17 in Spirit. Now that she had fed on that scary Lucy's blood, she was able to rapidly increase those attributes.

Although they were still the same, as long as she continued her training over the next few days, she should be able to raise both her Physique and Spirit to their maximum potential, and only then would today's harvest be considered complete.

A vampire who could increase her personal attributes just by sucking the blood of others… Just thinking about it made Leon feel dizzy. Once again, it proved how powerful innate abilities could be!

Judging by her appearance, that terrifying Loli, Lucy, was at most thirteen or fourteen years old. At that age, if she didn't have an innate talent for Spatial Magic, she might just be a novice who had just entered the Beginner Apprentice level. But the reality was quite different, as she was a terrifying Loli with high intelligence but low emotional control. Because of her innate talent for Spatial Magic, she became an elite among all the other Advanced Apprentices.

It was the same for Bleia.

Before that, she was just a Beginner Apprentice who had only mastered two magic spells. But after she was transformed into a vampire, her overall ability skyrocketed immediately, and she became one of the strongest Advanced Apprentices.

Analyzing the data, Bleia had a 60% chance of defeating the Fatal Shot and a 30% chance of defeating the Super Girl. As for the Worm Controller, Bleia had less than a 10% chance of defeating him.

After all, no matter how incredible her vampiric abilities were, they would only be effective when she had a supply of blood. Additionally, her desperate fighting style could be used against the Fatal Shot. If she broke through his defenses, no matter what kind of injuries she suffered, she would be able to recover.

But if she used the same method against the Super Girl or the Worm Controller, Leon saw no hope for her victory.

The terrifying metal sword of the Super Girl was not just for decoration, and with her Strength of 15 and Physique of 16, she had more than enough to unleash brutal physical attacks. Perhaps her 8 in Agility was her weakness, but with the help of magic spells, it would be very difficult for ordinary enemies to exploit that weakness against her.

And although the Worm Controller didn't perform so well when confronted with Lucy, that didn't mean his actual fighting ability was weak. Furthermore, since his body was made up of scorpions, didn't that mean there was still blood for Bleia to use her vampirism on?

Thus, in conclusion, while Bleia gained strong abilities, she had not reached the incredible stage that Lucy had.

Since Bleia was willing to protect him, Leon hid nothing and, like a loyal military advisor, shared all his analyses with her, so she could abandon any unrealistic fantasies she might have.

After becoming a vampire, Bleia's temperament changed dramatically. It was not hard to see that the strength of that foreign lineage had profoundly affected her mind and consciousness. She was being nice to Leon, but that was mainly because, during the mutation of her lineage, he showed her compassion.

But feelings did not last forever, and they would quickly fade in the harsh, rational, and cruel daily life of an Apprentice. Therefore, he had to demonstrate his abilities to avoid giving the impression that he was simply hiding under Bleia's wings.
