Tyler analysed Mia after dealing with the boss of the bandits.
⟨[Name: Mia Dallas]⟩
⟨[Race: Vampire]⟩
⟨[Ability: ????????]⟩
⟨[Strength: 30]⟩
⟨[Agility: 40]⟩
⟨[Perception: 69]⟩
⟨[Skills: ????????]⟩
He was impressed. She surpassed him, even though he had the system at the beginning of his entrance into this world. But what confused him were the question marks surrounding her "Ability" stat. He decided to ask,
"Can you use your ability?"
She replied with a nod, indicating she couldn't. However, she seemed to be regaining her sanity, still a bit disoriented from the bloodlust that had consumed her.
Suddenly, she started sniffing the air, her nostrils flaring. "Do you smell it?" she asked, her voice low and urgent.
Tyler nodded, a sense of unease creeping over him.
He knew that smell. The scent of blood, a potent attractant for the beasts that roamed these lands.
Before they could react, a horde of beasts erupted from the surrounding undergrowth. They were surrounded.
"Run!"
Tyler shouted, but it was too late. The beasts were upon them, a terrifying wave of claws and fangs.
They had no choice but to fight their way through.
The battle was a whirlwind of motion. Tyler, with his enhanced strength and agility, moved like a phantom, his gauntlet a blur of crimson energy as he dispatched the lesser beasts. Mia, however, proved to be a surprise.
Despite the question marks surrounding her abilities, she fought with a ferocity that belied her inexperience. Her movements were raw, instinctual, a deadly dance of claws and teeth. She tore through the beasts, her strikes swift and precise, each kill fueling a growing hunger within her.
As the battle raged, Tyler noticed a strange phenomenon. With each kill, Mia's eyes glowed brighter, her movements becoming more fluid, her strength increasing exponentially. He realized with a jolt that Mia's "Ability" wasn't something she consciously controlled, but rather an innate power that awakened with each kill, a blood-fueled rage that transformed her into a weapon of unimaginable destruction.
He watched in awe as she tore into a pack of wolves, her movements a blur of motion. With a single, powerful strike, she ripped the throat out of the alpha, her eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger. The remaining wolves, sensing the sudden shift in the power dynamic, cowered before her, their howls turning into whimpers.
Mia, panting, turned to Tyler, her eyes glowing with an eerie light. "I… I think I like this," she whispered, her voice husky with a newfound power.
Tyler, his own adrenaline surging, knew that they had barely scratched the surface of Mia's true potential. The Cursed Family, he realized, was far more dangerous than he had ever imagined.
Ding!
⟨[Mia Dallas has unlocked: Blood Frenzy]⟩
⟨[Blood Frenzy: With each kill, Mia's strength, speed, and senses increase dramatically. The more she kills, the stronger she becomes.]⟩
Tyler stared at the notification, a mixture of awe and trepidation filling him. The Cursed Family, he realized, was a force to be reckoned with. But with that power came a terrifying responsibility. He had to ensure that Mia's bloodlust did not consume her, that she could control the monstrous power that awakened within her.
The battle continued, but the tide had turned. With Mia's newfound strength and Tyler's tactical prowess, they began to systematically dismantle the beast horde. The forest, once a cacophony of roars and snarls, fell silent, the only sound the rhythmic thumping of their own hearts.
They had survived.
But at what cost?
This was the question on his mind
This was the question on his mind. He quickly told Mia, "Gather all the Crystals. We're leaving this bloody mess." He walked away from the carnage, making his way back to the tent. He began searching for Noah but couldn't find him. All he saw was a note with only three words:
"See you later."
He just threw the paper away and asked Mia,
"Are you done?"
She said yes, and they planned to leave the forest.
"Tomorrow is the end of the assessment," he explained. "It will take half a day to walk back there. So, if we leave now, we should be back by tomorrow morning."
"You know I'm not in your school, right?" Mia reminded him with a wry smile.
"Yes, yes,"he chuckled.
They started walking, but before he could take another step, he stepped on a beast's head.
⟨[Congratulations for completing your main quest: On reaching level 30, evolution will begin now.]⟩.
The world around him shimmered, colors blurring into an indistinguishable kaleidoscope. A wave of intense pain, like a thousand needles piercing his skin, washed over him. He gritted his teeth, his vision narrowing.
Then, silence.
When his vision cleared, he felt different. Stronger, faster, more aware. He looked down at his hands, his skin now a pale, almost translucent white, veins pulsing with an eerie dull light. His nails had grown into long, sharp claws, and his eyes, once a normal dull red, now glowed with an unnatural intensity.
⟨[Evolution Complete. You have ascended to Vampire Noble.]⟩
⟨[New Skills Unlocked: Blood Magic, Shadow Step, Vampiric Touch,A page from the mystic book of the Vampiric era has been unlocked.]⟩
Tyler felt a surge of power, a primal energy that coursed through his veins. He had evolved. He was no longer just a vampire, but a Vampire Lord, a being of immense power and terrifying potential.
He looked at Mia, who was watching him with a mixture of awe and apprehension. "What… what happened?" she stammered.
Tyler smiled, a predatory glint in his eyes.
"I evolved."
He looked down at his hands, marveling at the power that surged through him. The future, he realized, was filled with both promise and peril. The Cursed Family had just taken a significant step forward, but the challenges that lay ahead would be far greater than anything they had faced before.
