Chapter 319: Who is the Real Sovereign of Blood?

There was an inherent boundary between magic technology and magic skills.

Their contradictory basic theories made it so that the more profound a mage was, the more difficult it would be for them to master magic technology.

But Vlad had already lost most of his memories.

This, in turn, became an advantage for him in studying magic technology.

He was fascinated by magic technology and wanted to learn more about it.

……

However, the recent string of abnormal events made Vlad feel that things were going south.

Especially yesterday's astronomy class and tonight's incident.

The keen intuition of the vampire bloodline gave Vlad the premonition that he was about to reach the point where he would be exposed.

In order to avoid detection, he was already considering abandoning Robert's body and transferring into another person's body at the cost of losing a part of his soul.

But after getting this idea, he suddenly discovered that his soul seemed to be incomplete!

If he continued to split it, he might face the risk of falling apart!

At most, he could only do another transfer.

Therefore, he needed to be extra cautious this time.

After surveying for a long time, Vlad chose the students of Fool House as his target.

The students of Fool House were low-key and inconspicuous. Even if he accidentally revealed a little bit of his excellence in the future, he could credit it to a breakthrough after accumulating a lot of knowledge.

See! This was very suitable for his identity!

But before he had the time to act, he encountered tonight's incident.

The throng of golems gave him the illusion that he was being encircled and intercepted, as if someone was deliberately forcing him into an urn.

He was able to sense this, so he hid himself very well at first.

Even Professor Cazer couldn't sense his presence at all.

It was a pity that when things had come to a head, he still ended up revealing himself.

……

The moment he summoned the [Mother Blood Bat (血母蝙蝠)], Vlad had a strong premonition that he was about to be exposed.

His premonition was correct.

But the outcome seemed to be better than he imagined.

Looking at the blond boy slowly walking out of the group of golems, Vlad couldn't help letting out a little sneer.

"So that's how it is. You're the one who set up all this?"

"That's right."

Dark rolled up his sleeves and calmly replied.

All the golems stopped moving once he appeared.

……

Despite the smirk on his lips, Vlad's gaze remained glum.

He initially thought this was the work of the professors of Saint Marian Academy.

It was those unfathomable professors who he dreaded facing the most.

But if the one who planned this was the blond boy in front of him instead of the professors, although he was still rather wary, it wouldn't make him feel hopeless.

"Do you think the current me is still the same as I was in the past?" Vlad deepened his tone and asked in Robert's voice.

Dark was slightly taken aback, but he immediately couldn't help sneering, "No way, you won't think the current me is also the same as I was in the past, right?"

The two stared at one another.

Vlad suddenly laughed aloud and took a sharp step back.

The dozen or so [Blood Bats(血蝙蝠)] that were born after the [Mother Blood Bat] blew itself up promptly swarmed together, brandishing their fangs as they rushed to attack.

Dark glanced at those [Blood Bats] and judged that they should merely be 1-star magical spirits.

So the moment he moved his fingertips, the magic card he had hidden in his hand swiftly lit up.

"Hawlucha!"

"Haha!"

Hawlucha, who appeared in a flash, displayed its boiling fighting spirit.

With a shift of its eyes, it dashed towards those [Blood Bats].

"Feather Dance!"

Following Dark's command, Hawlucha rapidly rotated in the air with its body as the axis. Countless feathers burst out from its wings and shot towards those vicious bats!

Several bats were pierced by the feathers and instantly exploded, each leaving behind a droplet of blood.

It was Robert's blood.

……

However, the remaining bats abruptly turned into light and merged with the blood-red light shooting from Vlad's direction, forming a terrifying summoning circle that exuded a bloody aura!

"tribute summoning!"

Dark's pupils shrank.

Vlad had actually learned to do tribute summoning!

Did he craft his magic card by manipulating Robert?

As the thought briefly flashed, a ferocious blood beast galloped out of the tribute summoning array!

The blood beast was two metres tall, crimson like flowing blood with a body shape similar to tiger and leopard. It had two tentacles with mouthparts growing from the sides of its shoulders, and its long tail was waving in the air like a giant snake.

Judging from the number of bats that were sacrificed, this blood beast was guaranteed to be at least a 5-star!

A 5-star magical spirit!

Even until now, Dark had yet to craft one. How did Vlad manage to accomplish it in Robert's body?

This surprised Dark.

But it didn't fluster him.

When the blood beast came rushing, a white figure suddenly jumped down from the air. Upon landing on the ground, it took a few steps before soaring into a leap. With a shrill meow, a cat's claw tore the blood beast's face and twisted off one of its tentacles!

"Roar!"

The blood beast instantly howled out in pain.

Putrid blood spurted out of its wound and splashed onto Gatomon's body.

The slightly mysophobic Gatomon immediately frowned and fiercely glared at the screaming blood beast.

As Gatomon widened its eyes, the rays of light emitted from its amber pupils swirled like red wheels and fired into the blood beast's eyes.

Before it even had the time to fling its tail, the blood beast who had just been summoned fell into a daze, thrown into utter confusion under the effect of [Cat's Eye Hypnotism]!

"If that's the only thing he can do..."

Looking at Vlad, Dark felt a little doubtful—why didn't he attack together with the blood beast?

Even if he was only parasitizing Robert's body, he had currently brought it under his control. It couldn't be due to the lack of magic energy, right?

The capacity of Robert's magic energy was indeed not high.

It was probably far from enough to supply Vlad with the energy needed to unleash the crimson magic light like the one he did in the secret passage.

With the level of Robert's physical strength, Vlad the Vampire certainly wouldn't be able to do much without his magic skills.

But solely relying on magic technology without using magic spells or melee attacks was Dark's speciality!
