Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 7: A deadly fight so soon?

Although Matt was injured, he is, after all, a vampire. He will heal faster than average whenever he consumes blood elements with healing powers. So, they both quickly got up to run to that place.

Soon, they hid in the trees, watching what was happening.

The screams were coming from the front; a village was there.

It was not very big, but everything was destroyed. The houses were on fire, and the sound of terrifying pains could be heard from inside as beasts ran from side to side.

Alice frowned at the sight.

"They're devouring beasts... I knew it; those bastards were around here because they were attacking the villages again." She said hatefully as she clenched her fists.

She looked at Matt, "Matt, wait for me here. Those beasts aren't that strong; they're barely in the training phase. I'm going to clean those bastards out so they don't continue to wreak havoc." She said and prepared to go, but Matt stopped her.

"Let's go together." He said firmly.

He didn't want to miss a good opportunity like this to understand the strength of a vampire and these beasts.

Although she was surprised, she nodded a little.

"Alright... Let's go together, but don't go too far. The beasts won't be a problem for you, but maybe there are stronger Devourers nearby." She said, and after seeing Matt nod, the two of them quickly ran towards that place.

Matt pulled out the weapon Gray had given him, a small dagger-like sword. After seeing Alice leap into the air in a surprise attack but drawing attention, he used small spy tactics to send himself under without anyone noticing.

"Come at me, you beasts!" Alice shouted, launching an attack with force towards them.

Matt noticed that she had attracted attention quite well, so without hesitation, he lunged at the beasts behind the group and, with a wave of his hand, slit the throats of several of them.

While a single attack from Alice exterminated all the beasts in front.

The beasts noticed this and wanted to start running, but Matt was already behind them, so he started attacking them.

'They certainly aren't strong. They look as if they were small, oversized hatchlings... What the hell are these?' Matt thought as he fought these beasts.

He could tell that the stronger ones had about 500 power, but those stronger ones were barely a few.

While thinking like this, he felt an attack from behind and couldn't help but turn around quickly.

A tremendous impact hit his dagger, forcefully pushing him backward.

'Oh? This one is quite strong.' He thought to himself in surprise.

This beast had blood and flesh in its mouth, still eating.

'Can it become strong by consuming blood and flesh?' He thought in shock as he encountered a new type of vampire.

Just then, Alice appeared from behind the beast and cut off its head with a single motion, making the blood splatter upwards.

She then looked deeper into the village and frowned.

"Matt, I don't think any survivors are left in the village. Let's head in, be careful." She said, and without thinking, she dashed forward while Matt frowned and looked at the beast she had just killed.

Something that told him that...

That beast's blood could increase his power.

It didn't look as tasty as the blood he had taken earlier, but the blood's constitution seemed to be a match.

Still, he paid no mind to this and followed after Alice quickly.

Along the way, he saw vampire corpses from side to side. They were low-level and barely strong but belonged to the vampire race.

Still, they had been exterminated.

'Even a race as powerful as vampires have their own predators.' Matt thought.

None of this affected him, though.

Since he became an assassin, he has seen several killings and even participated in them. Moreover, since he was betrayed and when he saw his wife die in his arms, he felt that most living beings are just scum that litter the world.

They are just a race with nothing to do with him; why should he care about them? Why should he save them?

He only needs to live for himself and those he cares about. The rest is of no importance to him.

His thinking had been changing gradually during these days the more he thought about it, and right now...

He even feels a desire to suck the blood of those vampires, though he knows they won't give him much strength.

Still, he didn't. He walked behind Alice, who looked affected by this.

And just then, at a crossroads in the village, a human figure stood up and looked at them, his mouth was stained with blood, and his chainsaw-like teeth seemed to grin sinisterly.

Matt frowned, 'A devourer... And it has several beasts nearby.' Matt thought, looking at the surroundings. They were only three beasts, but they were powerful.

And the guy in front wasn't just a devourer; he was stronger than the two they had faced before.

And the nearby beasts were also consuming blood and eating vampire flesh. Not a single one was left alive in this village, and they were all cruelly slaughtered.

This made Alice's heartache, and she clenched her sword in hatred.

"...Matt, you may not know this, but these beasts here are devourers. They are being trained to achieve their evolution to obtain humanoid form. They grow stronger by consuming our race. I'm going to kill that bastard who runs them; stay safe." She said, gritting her teeth.

She didn't allow Matt to react and immediately ran towards the lead devourer.

This one grinned sinisterly and slammed into her, though Alice's strength pushed him back.

Matt frowned as he saw this and noticed the smaller beasts starting to walk towards him, so he smiled.

'Looks like I've got to fight too.' He thought, gripping his sword tightly in his hand.

"I have to change my fighting style... An assassin in a pitched battle can't fight." He said, smiling, and his aura changed drastically to blend in with his sword.

This fighting style differed from the one he was accustomed to, but he mastered it just the same.

When the beasts sensed the difference in the environment, they pounced on him.

Matt didn't dodge them, running towards them. He gave the first one a strong fist blow, sending it flying backward and using the momentum to hit another one of them.

Still, the third one lunged at him, and he had to defend himself.

"ROOOOOOOARR!" A roar came out of the beast's mouth as soon as it felt its fangs firmly grip Matt's weapon, and Matt took advantage of the moment to kick it in the stomach.

Still, the beast's attack left his arm burning a little.

'These guys have more power than me.' Matt thought and watched the fight unfold in the distance.

Alice has similar power to that devourer, so the fight might last a little longer.

This made him frown.

But he had no time to think. An attack from one of the beasts was headed for him, so he jumped back but was interrupted by another beast that hit him in the back.

Although the attack was light, it still managed to hurt him.

This brought a frown to Matt's face, and he angrily delivered a heavy blow with all his power to the beast that had just attacked him.

Although the beast was stronger than him, his attack hurt it and sent it flying a few feet backward as Matt continued to punch it continuously, taking it like a punching bag.

Still, he soon sensed danger coming at him, and with an unconscious movement, Matt grabbed the beast he was striking and threw it backward, causing it to slam into the oncoming one.

A howl of pain came from both beasts, but Matt couldn't get a good look at the scene as his view was blocked by the body of another beast attacking him.

This one managed to strike him in the arms, tearing his flesh to the bone.

Matt frowned in pain but clenched his fist and punched it with all his might.

The beast felt dizziness at this attack, and tremendous pain invaded his body, but his body did not move mysteriously. A terrifying cold gripped its paws tightly, and it could not even move a little.

This caused the beast to reveal a look of confusion, something Matt took advantage of to continuously deliver blows to its head until he managed to cut off its head with his small sword. The trickle of blood stained him.

'Finally, I got rid of one.' Matt thought with a sigh of relief.

These beasts were stronger than him in terms of power, but they lacked experience. They were like little hatchlings learning to walk but with an intense blood lust.

This allowed him to win, even though he was outnumbered by 500 in power.

Just as he took a breath, he felt an overwhelming presence near him and couldn't help but turn quickly to see what the hell was going on.

There stood the beast that had attacked him from behind earlier, eating his punching bag. Blood was still pouring out of its large snout, which had grown slightly.

This shocked Matt, but just then, the beast let out a loud howl.

Alice turned around in shock, "Matt, don't fight it; it went into Beast Frenzy mode!" she shouted upon seeing this, but her reminder was too late.

Matt couldn't avoid this beast's attack, which sent him rolling dozens of meters backward.

"MATT!" she screamed in fright as her concern for him increased; even so, she had to avoid the devourer's attack before her.

This devourer was not weak; it was as strong as she was, so the attack sent her backward a few feet.

"Shit, you bastard, die at once!" she shouted angrily and ran with more determination towards him...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle, Matt stopped and spat some blood while looking at the powerful beast approaching him.

"Hmph, this bastard became so powerful." He growled. He knew he couldn't take him on right now. That attack that hit him was pretty painful.

Therefore, he looked at the surroundings and focused on the frozen beast.

Without a second thought, he used the ice as a rope to pull the beast towards him, which fell to the ground with a clatter, spreading blood everywhere.

The beast attacking him stopped in confusion and looked at him as if thinking, what is he planning?

Just then, Matt gave the beast a large wound, and a stream of blood shot out of the body. Matt quickly pulled out a container and filled it with blood; at least two liters of blood came out.

He then immediately put the container in his mouth and began to swallow the blood...

Alice, although far away, noticed this, and fear gripped her...

"MATT, IF YOU TAKE THAT BLOOD YOU'RE GOING TO EXPLODE, IT'S POISON!" she screamed in fright and jumped up to run to where he was trying to stop him, but the devourer stepped in front of her.

"GET OFF, YOU BASTARD!" she shouted then, and the hatred in her face shone, and she gave him a powerful attack...

On the other side of the fight, Matt felt the blood rushing down his body. Just then, he felt his heart pounding, and his taste buds felt extreme revulsion.

"Aghhh, this shit tastes horrible." He said suddenly as he felt the taste of blood.

A taste so lousy that he felt the urge to vomit; still, with strength and determination, he swallowed it.

His red eyes glowed with intensity, and a tremendous power awoke within him.

He was surprised by this, but eating such bad-tasting food, he felt so disgusted and angry that he couldn't help but look at the beast with hatred.

"You forced me to eat such a horrible thing, shit. I'm going to kill you, you bastard." Matt growled and ran towards it.

It was in shock, so it couldn't see that Matt was already in front of it and gave it a powerful punch in the jaw that sent it flying for tens of meters.

But the anger in Matt was not diminished by this. He immediately jumped into the air and landed on top of the beast like a spear, causing a high-pitched scream of pain to come out of its mouth until it fell down dead.

Matt didn't stop hitting it until he was absolutely sure it wouldn't get up anymore, though.

Thus, he finally fell backward, sitting down on the floor.

"Hah...Hah...Hah..." He was panting continuously from exhaustion.

He remembered that Alice had said something to him, so he turned to look at her and noticed the moment when Alice split the devourer's body in half, and then another attack split him into four pieces.

She didn't care about this; as soon as she was done there, she ran to where he was.

"Matt, are you all right?" She asked in fright as she dropped her sword and dropped to the ground to check his body.

But she was surprised to find that his body was fine.

"What's wrong?" he asked doubtfully.

She looked at him, confused, "You didn't swallow that blood?" she asked in shock, and he nodded.

"I swallowed it; it tasted horrible. Don't ever drink that blood; it's the worst thing you'll ever taste." He said, still feeling the urge to vomit. He clearly didn't understand why she looked worried.

Still, she didn't know how to explain it to him either.

It was the first time she had ever seen a person swallow that... And didn't explode into poison.

Despite that, she would not be confident. She immediately took out several medicines and antidotes and made him swallow them continuously...
