Chapter 243: A New Skill
Alice stared at him, stunned.
'How could it be? He has full mastery of the Inheritance Token, and he's even going to obtain a second skill on his own...' In shock, she could only sigh.
"Sigh... At the end of it all, he really is someone amazing." She could do nothing but stare out the window.
"Dietrich, uh..."
Such an amazing last name in the hands of a person from this era. And said person seemed to be going against the heavens, growing stronger to an absurd level, and receiving skills more impressive than an Heir.
'He has to be an Heir of that Clan, doesn't he? The ability to turn humans into vampires is not just any ability... Is that why my father wanted to do that thing he told me? My father found out?' she thought, staring at him.
Although she didn't want to keep thinking about it, her mind betrayed her. It was too stupefying a discovery to pass up.
No matter who it was, everyone in this world would be shocked if they knew the discovery that the Allen Family, specifically Gray Allen and Alice Alen, had made.
Discovering a person who was a member of the Greatest Saint Clan that had ever existed in the history of the race and who was thought to be extinct was a great blessing, as long as they kept it a secret. That is why, even though she thought so, all those thoughts would not leave her mind.
Perhaps, at most, she would tell her father once they returned, and only to protect Matt as he grew up.
'He can lead the race towards a new destiny.' She thought and smiled a little.
That was exciting. It was a great joy for her to be the mate of the person who could change the future of the entire vampire race.
The hours passed as she was immersed in her thoughts regarding who Matt really was.
And along with the hours, a day passed. Then, a second day dawned in this dark village in the middle of nowhere. It was that moment when Alice heard a commotion outside.
'Did something happen?' She thought and peeked out of the window.
As soon as she did, she quickly hid.
Below were several divine knights.
"Lord's Divine Knights, it is an honor for us to have you here." The villagers welcomed them and even praised them a little.
"We are in the middle of a mission; where are the knights in charge of protecting this place?" one of the divine knights asked, and the villagers looked at each other's faces.
"I heard that the Sacred Knights went out to look for their companions, aren't you?" One of the villagers asked, attracting attention.
"Are you the Village Leader?"
"That's right, sir divine knight. The Knights left me in charge of the village."
"Do you have any idea where they went?"
The villager then pointed in a direction. "That way. I personally sent them away." He replied.
Then, the divine knights frowned.
'That's where we came from, and there's nothing in that direction.' One of them thought and nodded softly to his companions.
Then he smiled at the villager. "If so, we'll wait for them here. In the meantime, I'd like to meet the people of the village. I passed through here once, and it wasn't as big as it is now." After saying this, the stronger divine knight approached the village leader, and they smiled with joy and invited them inside for a meal.
Then they all left.
Alice had seen this exchange of words and counted the divine knights that were all over the place.
'There are 20 of them, they're not very strong...' She thought and took a deep breath.
'They've already caught up with us.' She thought and looked over to where Matt was, wishing he would wake up fast so they could flee in time.
Her glance at him coincided with the moment Matt opened his eyes, and the Inheritance Token stopped working and dropped into his hand.
"Matt." She said cheerfully, closed the windows, and walked over to him quickly.
Matt smiled at her. "And the book? I got a new skill." He said quickly, wanting to see what he had obtained.
Alice immediately handed him the book, which he used without batting an eye.
Then, a skill showed up for him.
Dual Type Skill - Bloody Assassin of Absolute Control: Conditional.
Non-Growth Type - Absolute Control: Touching the 'blood' of a living being will allow you to pull it out of the body, with a ratio of one-fifth of the Blood each time you use it. The blood can be used to attack. Each drop of enemy blood becomes a sharp blade in your hand. Blood can be moldable.
Growth Type - Bloody Assassin: When you 'assassinate' someone and do it flawlessly, without the opponent knowing of your presence, you can absorb their blood and convert it into your power. The proportion of power after conversion will be 10%.
Each line was more impressive than the last, making Matt feel his heart buzzing excited.
His heart began to pound, and his blood began to spin even faster than before.
'So amazing... A growth type skill tailor-made for me...' He thought, and a smile formed on his lips.
He looked up and smiled at Alice.
"It's a Duality of Types skill. Non-Growth Type and Growth Type. Although it's a conditional skill and the conditions of the Growth Types are a bit complicated to exercise, it's still an amazing skill." He replied, smiling.
"Awesome, Matt... There aren't many people in the world who have a Duality of Types skills. My dad has one, so if you have questions, you can ask him. He knows how to get the most out of them very well." She answered truthfully.
Although she was actually surprised, she didn't show it too much on her face; there was a more important issue right now.
"But, Matt, we need to get out of here fast. The Divine Knights arrived while you were receiving the skill."
"Oh? How many are there?"
"There are 20 of them. They are not very powerful, but surely they can give us information in case we are discovered, and that will be more dangerous."
Matt looked thoughtful after hearing this.
"How many are divine knights?" He asked, and she looked thoughtful for a moment.
"I only saw 5. The rest were Sacred Knights." She replied, and Matt nodded.
"Good. Then, let's go test my new skill. Alice, we'll go on an assassination spree tonight and try to kill everyone stealthily." He spoke.
