SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Bite me?

Mark’s body was already reacting, faint veins of silver energy crawling over his skin, while Sylvara’s icy aura formed delicate frost spirals that evaporated just as quickly as they appeared.

Aurora, however, was something else entirely. The moment she consumed the stone and began channeling the core’s energy, her presence erupted like a silent explosion. A dome of light flared around her, tinged with gold and violet hues.

Damon instinctively took a step back. Holy shit... he thought. If he had ever doubted her class or background, this completely erased it. Whatever priestess class she belonged to or whatever her bloodline was, it wasn’t something basic.

Kate came to stand beside him, arms still folded, her eyes fixed ahead, but her tone calm. "Who is that woman? Do you know her beforehand?" She asked softly.

Damon immediately shook his head. "No. No. Never. She is just a really good player. And has some sort of special bloodline. I really do not know anything else about her."

"Ok." Kate nodded. Surprisingly, she did not ask him anything more than that about Aurora. Instead, she spoke about what was really on her mind.

"Hey, I think I should evolve too. Sylvara might have a low-grade evolution stone that I can borrow." She started, but once again, Damon immediately interrupted her. "No need. If things really come down to that, then you can do it later. You don’t have to burn your potential right now."

Kate looked at how serious he was and decided to let it go for now. "Can you tell me a little bit about blood manipulation? How do you do it so easily? Is there any special trick to it? What about blood energy and mana? How do you seemlessly interconnect and use both?"

Others might not see it this way, but Kate knew that Damon was extremely knowledgeable about many things. Sure, he was overpowered because of some bloodline or something like that, but it was his fundamentals that really set him apart.

She was probably never going to get a chance like this again when he was standing so casually next to her. She could feel it. The gap between them was widening more and more. Her insufficiencies were starting to show up. At least Mark had some sort of bloodline, but she had nothing.

She did have a little something. She had recently found that she had an innate ice affinity as well and was able to use both blood element and ice element, but seeing everyone around her, that was probably nothing.

Her gaze landed on Aurora who was now lighting up like a damn firecracker. She could already tell that the priestess was the one who was going to shoot up in power the most. Perhaps even more so than Mark, who was also now glowing golden.

Unlike them, she had nothing. She was plain and simple. She would use every chance she had to crawl her way to the top to stand next to the guy who had been there for them time and again. If Damon were in her shoes, he would definitely do the same thing.

Kate snapped out of her thoughts as she talked to Damon about many things that were on her mind. Damon did not care about it too much. It was Kate, after all. He taught her everything he knew about the basics of blood manipulation. But in the end, his insights were only going to help her so much.

"You should really visit the training center. In fact, talk to Varnyx about it. He might suggest something nice for you, considering you are special and all that." Damon winked.

"What sort of a training center?" Kate ignored the guy’s teasing and asked.

"I don’t know. Maybe some sort of skills training place. I have heard rumors of such a place existing, but if you ask Varnyx about it, that guy would definitely give you more details." Kate nodded and decided to do that the first thing after they get out of here.

Meanwhile, Mark was now enclosed in a blood bubble with golden veins, Aurora in some sort of golden bubble, and Sylvara in a simple mana bubble. All of their evolution process had progressed smoothly and was now coming to an end.

Damon was very surprised that the guy controlling the metallic fortress didn’t even bother to disturb them. Was he mocking them that no matter what they do it’s useless? Or maybe he was busy with something else like moving the whole damn thing to some place else before back up arrived?
