207 Chapter 46.1 - Hunting the Hunter

"Wow."

The moment I left Sylvie's room, I couldn't help but mumble at myself.

"Did she just use [Blessing]?"

There was a reason why Sylvie was regarded as the Saintess in the future. Her abilities were that overpowered.

But, to think she would be using one of her strongest abilities right now….It made sense and no sense at the same time. After all, in the game, for her to be able to use this ability, the player would need to progress in her story quite a lot while also increasing her abilities.

Therefore, I was surprised when I felt the strength coursing through my veins. The increase in my strengths wasn't even comparable to how it felt when she was using buffs on me.

I was also surprised by how assertive she was, contrary to her personality. It also seemed like she understood what I was about to do.

'Well, I kind of expected it.'

Sylvie may be na?ve, but she is not dumb. So, it made sense that she understood what I was about to do the moment I requested her to enchant my weapon.

I knew for a fact that Sylvie liked when people praised her or when people depended on her. Her past trauma made her develop an inferiority complex towards other people, just like how the original Astron developed. Therefore, I didn't want her to suffocate like how Astron did.

She also has the talent and power to achieve that anyway. She just needs a little push and encouragement, which would normally come from the player or Ethan. However, right now, such a thing is not possible.

"Let's not think about it any longer."

Right now, my first priority was hunting the vampire, so I knew I didn't have the time to spend leisurely.

Returning to my room, I immediately set to work. The cooled anti-vampire mixture had reached the perfect consistency for application. I carefully dipped each weapon—my daggers, arrows, and the specially ordered bullets—ensuring the substance coated them evenly.

As the concoction adhered to the weapons, a faint, silvery sheen enveloped them. It was a reassuring sight, knowing that I had a countermeasure against the vampire's blood magic.

'Now, for the final touch.' I drew my mana a little and covered all of the weapons with it, but this time, rather than keeping it, I put the mana inside. This made the substance basically intertwine with every corner of the weapons.

I put everything I was going to need onto my belt and readied the potions as well.

'Everything is ready now.'

I checked the clock on my watch and saw it was still quite early noon.

'Good.'

It hadn't been that long since the vampire had captured Maya, and if my intuition was correct, she was still alive.

'Status.' fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

I called my stats.

------------------------------------------

Name: Astron Natusalune

?Occupation: Weapon Master (level 1)

?Talent Limit: 6

?Passives:

- Vengeful Bane

?Attributes:

Variable Attributes:

- Strength: 2.80 (3.90)

- Dexterity: 3.45 (52)

- Agility: 3.76 (5.6)

- Constitution: 2.75 (3.85)

- Intuition: 3.95 (6.0)

- Magical Power: 4.2 (6.6)

- Mana Capacity: 3.13 (4.9)

----------------------------------------

Looking at the parameters, I couldn't help but marvel at Sylvie's power and how broken it was.

'This is insane.'

All my attributes almost increased % by 50, depending on how talented I was at that said attribute. This was something that would take at least a month for me to achieve, but now it was different.

Sylvie's [Blessing] ignored everything logically and gave me this increase. After all, it made sense since the Saintess didn't come from a logical mind but from something called 'faith.'

'Now, I shouldn't let her down, should I?'

And, now that she had shown such faith in me, there was no way I was going to let her down.

Entering the tunnels once more, a newfound strength coursed through my veins, courtesy of Sylvie's potent blessing. The enhanced attributes reflected a significant boost in my overall capabilities. On the way, I also made myself familiar with this strength as well, since it was going to be detrimental.

'She really did go all out with that [Blessing].'

With each step, I moved with heightened agility, and my intuition seemed sharper and more attuned to the surroundings.

The combination of Sylvie's blessing and my increased mana capacity allowed me to conceal my presence more effectively, erasing any traces of my existence as I ventured deeper into the underground labyrinth.

'This should make a significant difference.'

The tunnels, dimly lit and seemingly endless, harbored a mysterious atmosphere. My senses, now heightened, detected faint traces of mana lingering in the air that I wasn't able to feel before.

And that mana was something I was pretty familiar with since that same mana had once entered me.

'This is Senior Maya's mana.'

While she was teaching me how to control mana, she put it inside me, and that was why I was that familiar with that specific feeling.
