My Vampire System novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447: The tenth’s ability

After hearing the words come out from the boy’s mouth. Edward couldn’t keep his own closed, it was left wide open as his mind was slowly processing everything that was happening.

"I’m-mmm sorry, do you mind repeating that?" Edward asked, stuttering his words and fumbling over them.

"Are you deaf, old man?" Peter said. "He said he is the tenth leader."

At any moment, Edward wanted to be woken up from this nightmare. The tenth leader was a mere vampire noble, and not just that, but his strength was nowhere near that of an actual leader.

Although he didn’t want to believe it, now things were starting to make logical sense in his mind. Now he understood why the castle had lit up and when he entered why he saw these two. The castle had to be reacting to the very child in front of him.

"Oh Vincent, what have you done?" Edward mumbled.

Judging from the old man’s reaction, Quinn could see he was not impressed and honestly he didn’t know how to feel about this. He didn’t really know what type of reaction he was going to get. Open with welcome arms, a celebration. Perhaps this was the more reasonable reaction from someone finding out a regular human turned vampire had become a human.

It was better that Edward didn’t know this fact. If he did, he probably would have died from shock finding out the person in front of him used to be human.

"No," Edward said, shaking his head. "Vincent was a smart and clever leader, he must have had his reason for doing so. If you are the tenth leader, then I can assume Vincent had passed on his powers to you?"

"Powers?" Quinn replied back, confused. Was the man referring to the system?

"His ability, the tenth leader’s ability. Tell me, he must have taught you his ability, right?" Now Edward was sounding quite panicked at all of this.

However, Quinn really wasn’t sure if he had the tenths ability or not, was it part of the system, but that couldnt be the case. Even vampires, just like humans, were only allowed one ability, and right now he had the shadow ability. If he remembered correctly, the system had stated that his ability was not the shadow one, so he didn’t know much about it.

"You do not have my ability." Vincent said. "Just tell him the truth, Edward is a good man and I’m sure he will still help you. The fact that he is still here after all these years proves it. He is a strong vampire at any time he could have switched and joined another family. His title was relinquished when I disappeared, yet he still chose to stay."

Listening to the system, Vincent’s words, there was a bit of sorrow in the voice. More and more Quinn was starting to wonder if it really was an AI system behind everything, or was his spirit somehow trapped in the system as well.

"Vincent taught me no such thing, I don’t think I have his ability." Quinn replied. "What exactly was his ability?"

Edward placed his hand on top of his forehead as it took him a few seconds to regain his composure before giving an answer.

"I guess there is nothing to be done about that then. If he chose you to take his place, then he must have done so for some reason." Edward replied.

But Quinn was still unsure if he really was chosen to take his place or if the book just happened to come into his hands.

"You see, the tenths family is a unique one. It is the only family that doesn’t pass on the leader’s ability to all those close to him. The only one that is able to learn the ability are the leader himself and his chosen successor." Edward started to explain.

"You see, for the leader’s power was a great one. It was the power of equivalent exchange. The power was limited to the creation in one’s mind, as long as he knew what he wanted and had a rough idea of how it worked he could create it. However, the stronger the creation, the more he had to exchange to create it.

"He needed the materials beforehand, and much research was needed to be done. Most of Vincent’s work was things related to alchemy, such as pills, potions and what not created from different beasts. Still, he did dabble in weapons from time to time, I believe you saw some of the creations he made below on display."
