Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

After this, Vanessa sat down next to Caroline and asked her several more questions, trying to find out what had happened.

"You were out of town, weren't you? Why? How did you get there?"

"Actually, when you hit Matthew, he was carrying me; I guess he wanted to kidnap me. That caused me to almost fall unconscious, and when I reacted, Matthew was trying to escape with the other woman in his arms; she seemed to be an Heir of the vampire race. So I followed them from afar to see what they would do; that's how I ended up out of town."

"Did you manage to see anything about them? Where they were headed?"

"Yes, miss. I may not have an exact location, but I got an idea about where they would go. That was why I came back as soon as possible to give you the news."

Vanessa's beautiful blue eyes sparkled a little, and she immediately pulled out a massive map of the entire Empire.

"Tell me where they ran to, and I'll send people to follow them closely. That bastard can't run," she replied.

Caroline walked over to the map, and after looking at it for a moment to get situated, she pointed out two possible directions and destination locations.

One of the two directions she gave was precisely where Matt was going.

Vanessa nodded. "Okay, go back to your room and get well soon. I'll call you later." She replied.

Afterward, Caroline left the room, and Vanessa stared out the window, looking thoughtful for several minutes at a time.

Then, a shadow materialized behind her.

"Princess, that woman looks kind of strange. There's something off about her."

"I know. I've noticed it, too."

"Then the information she gave, will you use it?"

"Of course."

"Huh? Why? Don't you doubt the veracity of that information? What if it's a trap? A lot of people could die."

Vanessa smiled and turned to look at that gray shadow.

"Although I doubt her, it seems she has no evil ulterior motives towards me. So I don't have to protect myself from the information she gives me. And if it turns out to be a trap, I don't care. Only a few lower-ranking ones will die, but we can't let those two get away.

They seem to be too important to the Grand Sorcerers." She replied, walked towards the shadow, handed him a document, and kept walking.

"They have sent me the request so many times that it makes me believe they have discovered new and interesting things."

The shadow looked at the document in his hand and nodded. "These are likely to be good things for your competitor, Princess. Are you okay with putting in so much effort? She'll win more than you."

Vanessa laughed a little after hearing this. "Hahaha, competitor? No, I don't have such things. Imperial Princess only one in history, how could another one suddenly appear?" After this, she disappeared behind the door, leaving the room silent.

The shadow was thoughtful about what she had said.

'Although it is true that during our entire history, she is the one with the best talent... That could be broken when we talk about that woman. Her talent is beyond terrifying... Sigh, it looks like the Princess will lose too much this time, and the Nevod Mountains will gain too much.' Then the shadow disappeared, and the room returned to silence...

That day, the sun did not rise in the Capital City.

...

By some mountains, far from the Capital City, Matt and Alice walked quickly through the streets of a village until they entered an inn.

They rented a room and then went to rest.

They had been traveling for a long time, trying to find a place to settle, until they finally found a village near some mountains.

Even so, by the time they got here, they had to kill a few holy knights who were prowling the area.

Neither of them expected to encounter holy knights in this remote area, which could mean that the divine knights were monitoring the entire Empire.

It was for this reason that they quickly locked themselves in.

"Alice, we must plan everything quickly. I have a feeling that the divine knights might be running here, and it wouldn't be good if they caught us here." Matt said and sat at a table in the middle of the room.

Alice sat down next to him and then they started talking about the plan and everything they would do now.

The idea was to approach the Empire's borders with the vampire kingdoms and try to get help from the other side.

So they marked the route they would follow on the map and talked about the plan.

Then came the main issue. According to the current strength, could they exercise the plan as it was, or should they modify it?

The main issue was finding out how much vampiric power they had, as it was the plan's basis. Without much power, they could do nothing.

That was why Matt took out the vampire ball he had bought and gave it to Alice.

She was a little nervous. She felt that her power had skyrocketed and that she had surpassed 20,000. But was it true, or was it just a mirage she was trying to make herself understand?

Reaching 20,000 power was a major milestone, even more so in such a short time. Normally, it would take a couple of years to go from 10,000 to 20,000. At best, it should take two years.

But Alice's ability is amazing. Thanks to her father, she can say that her growth-type skill is unique in the world, and perhaps only Cecily Edevane and Charles Relish could have any similar skill.

Thanks to this, she expected a progressive and explosive breakthrough, and perhaps she could match Cecily's breakthrough at the time.

But that's where Matthew Dietrich, a man with an amazing last name and who was her bloody partner, came into the picture.

If she has advanced so much in less than one year, it was only due to Matt, whose blood is amazing and whose abilities are even more impressive.

But how far did she advance?

Alice grabbed the vampire ball and circulated her power towards it. The ball glowed a deep red, making it look enigmatic. The first hint of amazing power showed itself when the color it glowed with was more intense than before, making Alice's heart visibly race. And soon, the ball glowed softly with a number above it.

-21,000 Vampire Power.
