SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Lesser Blood Magic

When Damon reappeared from the shadows, he was right behind one of the women. With a casual smile, he used his claw to slice her throat. Blood gurgled out. However, none of the blood poured out.

Damon quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on the open wound. Thanks to lesser blood magic, he no longer needed to use his fangs and could extract blood directly through his palm. He could eat without getting his hands dirty.

A faint crimson glow pulsed beneath his skin as the magic activated. The woman’s body convulsed once, and then the blood began to rise—not spill, not pour, but rise—as if being pulled by invisible threads.

It shimmered unnaturally, forming a smooth, spiraling stream that flowed into Damon’s hand like silk.

[Ding! Lesser Blood Magic Activated: Direct Absorption.]

[Ding! Lesser Blood Magic proficiency has increased.]

[Ding! Lesser Blood Magic proficiency has increased.]

Damon’s skill proficiency was rapidly increasing as he felt the familiar bond between blood essence and his soul. In his last life when he became crippled and couldn’t sense the blood essence or mana anymore, he had felt miserable.

It was worse than losing a limb or two. It was as if he couldn’t breathe anymore. He did not want to think about that indescribable misery. In this life, he would not suffer that fate again. As the warm thread of blood wove itself into his body, Damon let the sensation flood him.

[Ding! +10 Units of Fresh Blood Essence Acquired.]

[Ding! Blood Archive: 1/100 Units Stored.]

Damon’s eyes glowed faintly red as the stolen blood entered his system. The warmth of it spread across his limbs, strengthening, sharpening. Now the question was, would his bloodline skill activate? The next second, the smile on his face widened as notifications started rolling in.

[Ding! Bloodline Extraction initiated.]

[Target: Human Being, Level 9]

[Ding! You have extracted the ability ’Fire Ball’]

Damon’s grin deepened. It looked like his skill worked after all. He let the woman’s body drop to the ground and quickly pocketed the bracelet which dropped. In a matter of seconds, he was once again back next to the brother and sister.

Only after that, people started noticing what had happened and that a player had died. "Ahhhhh!" Someone shrieked, and panic spread like wildfire.
