Su-ho slowly read through the information.
The fact that Nosferatu’s name had been engraved there was one thing, but the trait description written there before had also changed.
Among those lines, the phrase saying that among beings who handled blood, none would ignore him particularly caught Su-ho’s eye.
Because it could be interpreted to mean that there were other beings besides Su-ho who handled blood.
'I’d like to meet them once, if they exist.'
He then checked the detailed options of the newly acquired trait and the information on the skills one by one.
[ Imperial Blood ]
# The emperor’s blood possessed only by one who stands at the summit of all vampires.
# Among beings whose bodies carry vampire blood, none will dare refuse to submit to Imperial Blood.
[ Nosferatu ]
Grade: SS# Vampire Blood’s final authority.
# You have inherited everything from the First Blood, ‘Nosferatu.’
# It possesses infinite possibility and expandability regarding every power a vampire can have.
# Nosferatu will always watch over you and protect you.
The final line, saying that Nosferatu would always watch over him and protect him, stood out.
Yes.
Watch me.
Because I will make sure I avenge you.
Next, he checked the following information.
[ Dominating Bloodline ]
Grade: SS# Nosferatu’s Imperial Blood possesses powerful dominance not only over vampires, but over every kind of blood.
# Everything about the blood successfully dominated can be utilized.
# Every being with blood flowing through their body will instinctively bow its head before Dominating Bloodline.
[ Blood Magic ]
Grade: SS# Nosferatu’s Imperial Blood actualizes everything the user imagines through blood.
[ Blood Spirit Arts ]
Grade: SS# Nosferatu’s Imperial Blood responds to the user’s will and moves as though alive, carrying out commands.
From Imperial Blood to Blood Spirit Arts.
After confirming the information, Su-ho let out a faint sound of admiration.
Because every single one seemed like the greatest things one could possess as a vampire.
'With Blood Magic and Blood Spirit Arts in particular, I won’t need to learn any other blood magic.'
Blood Spirit Arts would literally replace the role of spoken commands, and Blood Magic meant it was the same as every kind of blood magic, as long as he could imagine it.
Su-ho then checked the information on the five existing blood-magic skills that had been influenced by Nosferatu.
All of them had gone from S+ grade to SS grade, and their names had each changed.
Bloody Hand → Offering
Great Blood Jade → Blood Core
Blood Armory → Blood Genesis
Enthrallment → Domination
Transformation → Change
They had changed like that.
On top of that, after checking all the information, he felt deeply satisfied.
Because these were the very things that could be called the extremity of Vampire Blood.
He had especially high expectations for Blood Core.
Because of the Red Maria.
Until now, he had tried to give up because his vessel was not sufficient, but now the circumstances had changed, so it was worth trying once more.
No, it was not even a challenge.
The Red Maria felt trivial now.
Because he had learned the size of the vessel Blood Core possessed.
'If Great Blood Jade was a lake, then Red Maria is a river, and Blood Core is a size that could be called the sea.'
Su-ho’s gaze shifted from the various information windows to the Red Maria.
Then, the moment he gave a glance toward the Red Maria.
[ Blood Spirit Arts activates. ]
[ Offering activates. ]
Two skills activated on their own.
It was convenient.
Especially in Offering’s case, unlike Bloody Hand, he did not need to stretch out his hand and could draw blood by will alone, making it even more convenient.
It was not only blood.
It had always been that way to begin with, but now, through Offering, he could have everything of the target, including blood, ‘offered’ to him like a sacrifice.
Hwaaaaa!
It was immediately after Blood Spirit Arts and Offering activated.
Once the two skills activated, the entirety of the Red Maria began glowing faintly.
The skills and the Red Maria had begun resonating.
What was even more surprising came next.
From the entirety of the Red Maria, which had begun glowing faintly, the enormous amount of polluted blood and mana stored within it erupted all at once and began seeping into Su-ho.
The things that erupted did not even directly touch Su-ho.
Like they were being blocked by a protective holy art, those things, drawn out like violent streams of water, were absorbed into Su-ho while keeping a certain distance.
However, the sight did not look sacred.
Because the blood, black and murky from Corruption Sorcery, looked as though he were being covered in filth.
That was fine.
Such things were not very important to Su-ho.
What was actually surprising lay elsewhere.
He had thought that if the black blood was drawn out of the Red Maria, the entire mountain range would shrink away and disappear, but surprisingly, the vast black mountain range was only gradually losing its characteristic black color, as though toilet water were being flushed, and returning to the brown mountain range it had originally been.
Around that point, Su-ho activated one additional skill.
[ Purification activates. ]
It was Purification.
Since he no longer needed to hold onto polluted blood, he was purifying it.
The speed of the purification was extremely fast.
