My Vampire System novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 A new world

When Vorden explained to Leo about his abilities, Leo was doing his regular thing checking to see if he was speaking the truth or not. It was for this reason that Leo wasn’t as cautious.

With experience, Leo knew it wasn’t; a good idea to have contact with someone’s ability you didn’t know. Certain abilities had conditions that needed to be set before using them. This was called a cost.

Cost abilities were usually stronger than regular abilities but there were only a few that the public could obtain. Two examples of cost abilities were Vorden’s where he needed to touch a user’s bare skin before being able to use their power, and Jack’s who could only absorb their power through the user’s mouth.

Cost abilities were quite rare and were even still being discovered today. Sometimes families had passed down ancient scripts that their ancestors knew nothing about but practised them out of tradition. To only later find out that there was a cost involved unlocking their ability.

Many people assumed this very thing was what had happened to Truedream. In a world without abilities, Jack would have never discovered his very own ability.

Vorden looked at Leo’s hand once again and this time was hesitating slightly.

’Just do it.’ Raten complained. ’Do you have to be so careful about everything you do’

With Raten speaking his mind like the little devil on his shoulder, he eventually took the plunge and shook Leo’s hand.

A new energy was felt flowing inside of Vorden. The cells in his body were finally changing, it was the strongest force he had ever felt enter his body before. Even when touching the hand of Berg, a member of the big four and a level eight user he had never felt this type of energy before.

Finally, the two of them let go.

"Well?" Leo asked. "Do you see what I see?"

Vorden activated the ability and his whole vision went black. He could no longer see using his regular eyesight. Instead, the walls and floor appeared like wireframes that were constantly moving. As if the ground and the walla round were alive.

Then when he looked at his own hand, he could see the flow of yellow energy appearing off his own body. He turned his head and looked at Quinn who was giving off a different colour. A dark purple hue, which burned brightly.

Vorden now understood why Leo was able to tell that Quinn was different, it was the colours of energy. Finally though when he looked at Leo the largest shock came to him. Leo’s flame was yellow just like Vorden’s.

However, there was a big difference between the two. The flow of energy-burning was much more intense and it seemed to be at least four times bigger than his own.

’But how?’ Vorden thought. It didn’t make sense to Vorden. When using his ability not only did he copy the ability but also the number of mutant cells in their body. Even if Leo’s ability was beyond that of level eight of the military scale, Vorden should have still been able to copy it.

But when looking at his own aura and looking at Leo’s there was a big difference and he didn’t know why.

Then, Vorden started to notice something else. The sword around his waist was also burning a bright red colour and the energy coming off it was nearly just as strong as Leo himself.

While Vorden was looking at Leo, he started to point towards the weapons on the wall. As he turned his head he noticed that all the weapons that were hung up, they too were burning with a bright red colour.

"Is this normal for beast weapons?" Vorden asked.

"It seems like you really can see what I can see." A regular beast weapon does not shine in colour. As I said before these are different." Leo explained.

"And what about you?" Vorden asked. "Why are you..."

Just before Vorden could ask his question Leo immediately suppressed the yellow aura around his body and brought it down to the same level as Vorden.

Seeing this action, Vorden knew Leo was telling him not to ask about it, and it was clear he had done it on purpose for another type of reason.

Leo then tapped the large metallic circular object.
