Creeaaaaakkk!
Lith pushed open the gate and walked inside the room, caring not for any potential threats that there may be.
A Supreme Rank was with him, so there was no need to fear anything.
As the door opened up, a large dark room appeared right in front of Lith and Fei.
There was a red hue within this room, bringing forth a creepy ambience.
It wasn't creepy to Lith though since he was a Vampire. It was rather cozy here.
Going inside this creepy room, Lith saw gigantic red tubes going right above the ceiling and beneath the ground.
Bubbling noise of water could be heard within them and walking close to one of the tubes, a faint scent of blood assaulted Lith's nose.
He touched the tube and tried to feel what was inside.
A burning sensation went through his hand as he touched it and in the next few instances, he felt some blood essence seeping through the boiling liquid within these tubes.
This blood definitely belonged to a Vampire and amused by it, Lith followed the tubes going up the ceiling with Fei.
Lith and Fei were too lazy to find paths leading up, so they simply smashed a hole in the ceiling and went high up.
Reaching the top of the room, the sight Lith saw made him frown and be disgusted.

There were tens of Vampires confined to their coffins and right beside them were Humans.
Multiple small tubes etched with ancient inscriptions flowed through the two species and the disgusting thing about them was that their flesh and bones were getting exchanged.
The Vampires were half decayed while the Humans were disfigured due to new flesh and bones joining with their physiques.
This sight was so disgusting that Lith felt like puking.
"How can someone even think of this? It's absolutely absurd." Lith commented.
Fei, standing beside him and looking at the scene with a neutral look, replied, "I think they wanted the best of both worlds, Master."
"Seems like it." Lith said and walked close to inspect the abnormal 'creatures'.
These guys couldn't be deemed as Humans or Vampires anymore. They were totally different from the norms.
Squatting down and checking the Human that had Vampire flesh wielded on him, Lith said, "Fei, have you ever seen a Half-Vampire Half-Human?"
Fei shook her head. "That's not possible to happen."
Lith raised an eyebrow at what he heard. "Why's that?"
For some reason, there really were no hybrids in this world and it was not even a joke.
When Lith had arrived in this world and saw the races existing in peace, he assumed that interspecies marriages were quite common. Hence, hybrids would be quite common too.
But to his surprise, there really were no hybrids. Not even one that was known.
Whenever two people reproduce, the child born would be the same species as one of its parents. There was no in between.
Lith didn't understand why such a phenomenon existed and he never got the time to research it either.
Well, part of the reason he didn't research was because he was busy. But now that he saw someone trying to create a hybrid, the question popped up again in his mind.
Fei, being questioned by her Master, answered, "Well, Master… it's just how nature is. Even though the child would belong to…"
Fei gave a long answer to what Lith had asked her, but to shorten it down, the reason was simply nature.
Nature didn't allow hybrids as they were not proper. What it did allow however was evolution and passing down of the traits.
For instance, if a Vampire and a Human had a child, and let's say the child was born as a Vampire… the child could gain the intelligence of a Human and have a huge potential in cultivation.
Likewise, if the child was born a Human, it could have the regeneration, bloodthirst and cruelty of a Vampire and so on.
There could never be mixing of the two like the child being Half Vampire and Human as that would be really conflicting and unstable.
Nature loved stability and everything was designed in such a complexly perfect way that having imperfections was nigh impossible.
A Vampire and a Human's child couldn't be distinguished as a half-half, but the child could definitely inherit abilities.
If one were to dive deep into this matter, a perfect example of things would be Dennis.
Dennis had an Angel in the ancestry from his mother's side.
Even though his mother didn't have any traits regarding that of an Angel, Dennis sure did inherit one thing, that being the Light affinity.
Dennis was one of those rare Vampires with a Light affinity and this was the result of interspecies interactions.
To sum up, a Human and a Vampire could have a baby, but the chances of the baby inheriting all the good properties of their parents was impossible. Only a select few things would be passed down.
If there wasn't such a thing, there would be far too many overpowered individuals in the world. They could have limitless potential and cause chaos as easy as flicking a finger.
Fei explained all of this as if it was only natural while Lith had some other profound thoughts on this.
He came from a world where there wasn't magic or swords or anything per se. But, the knowledge of genetics was vast there.

Before Miwa got too annoyed and threw hands at them, Lith and Dennis stopped with their teasing.
Once they were done, Miwa sighed and asked, "Can you take me back now?"
Though the city was really nice and it was fun to hangout with this group, it was time to go back and take on the responsibilities again.
Lith, standing around her, asked, "You wanna go back so soon? There's a lot of things to do. Plus, we haven't even sparred yet."
Miwa shook her head. "There's no time for all that. I have a little brother to take care of."
Dennis, sipping on some milkshake he stole from Ralph, asked, "How old is he?"
Miwa felt it was a reasonable question and answered, "Eight years old."
"Hmm…" Dennis began pondering things upon hearing that.
Lith and Ralph too began pondering, making Miwa confused.
"What are you three thinking of?" Miwa couldn't help but ask, looking at their strange faces.
Lith rubbed his chin and answered, "Your brother will be thirteen in five years. That means, he'll end up spending his time in an academy until he's eighteen. From then, he would be recruited by some powers if he's strong enough and wouldn't really need you."
"What the…" Miwa was dumbfounded. She didn't think that these three were planning to give her an existential crisis out of nowhere.
"Your little brother can take care of his own self in a while. Come, let's spar in the meantime." Dennis suggested.
He really wanted to fight this short gorilla. She seemed powerful and could be a good challenge.
"But—" Miwa chimed and wanted to say something, but got interrupted.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Your brother needs to learn a lot of things and build his foundation before awakening his Magic Core. I'll have someone arrange things for your brother. You need not worry." Lith stated.
Miwa didn't understand him and asked, "And how exactly are you going to do it? Do you think there's someone better than me who can raise him?"
"Yes." Lith replied without hesitation. "You yourself don't know many things, it's better to leave things to experts."
"Huh?" Miwa was confused. "What expert? What exactly are you saying?"
The trio sighed together, looking at this country bumpkin's dumbness.
They knew Miwa was somewhat slow in analyzing things, but couldn't guess that she was this slow.
Lith looked at her and asked while shaking his head, "Shawty, who do you think we are?"
Miwa scrunched her nose as she cringed at being called that. "Don't call me that again."
"Just answer already." Lith repeated.
Miwa thought about it and replied, "You three are some rich nobles?"
The trio nodded their heads.
"That's right." Dennis answered.
Miwa shrugged. "It wasn't that difficult, was it?"
Ralph, in a calm tone, said, "You haven't guessed the whole thing, don't get cocky."
Miwa tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what Ralph meant.
The whole conversation seemed so stupid and so pointless that even Dennis was having a headache.
What Ralph was suffering through at this point, it was something only he knew.
Dennis was already too much for him to handle and now there was someone similar in the group
