"Ahhhhh"
Clenching his fists, after a while, the signs of changes in Elric began to recede
His red eyes returned to black and his skin regained his original colour
To be honest, if anyone saw Elric right now they wouldn't believe that he and George are the same type of vampires
However, Elric knew he had succeeded
"Amazing! George and Davis, Alvin, each of them can be said to have given me truly glorious gifts!"
Laughed Elric as he waved his hand, causing a small scene to occur
Under Elric's control, a piece of blood from his injury flew up and moulded itself into a soldier-like appearance
Same thing with his shadow, as a small piece of it became a soldier-like figure
*Clank!*
With that formed, under Elric's control like two puppets both sides began to fight each other
"So this is the vampire's ability over blood and shadow, it seems I have to practise a lot more!"
Feeling the easiness and flexibility of his attacks, Elric couldn't help but admire George's Abilities
Now that he had become a vampire, unlike before when he needed precise manipulation of the blood and shadow runes to achieve such a feat
Just becoming a vampire Elric felt like manipulation of the two events was something he was born with.
And although there was still a long way before being considered proficient in this new ability, Elric decided to test some other changes out.
"Flight!"
Summoning a huge pair of bat-like wings from his back, Elric began flapping them trying to soar into the sky.
Unfortunately, no matter how he tried, either by jumping, running, or falling, it all resulted in failure to fly in the air.
"Damn! Of course learning flying is going to be hard, did you expect to learn it on the first try?"
"Even birds don't learn it on their first try much less you a human who wasn't born with wings"
Speaking to himself, Elric tried to cheer himself up
Yes, so what if he couldn't fly on the first try, Elric was sure that as long as there was enough time for training then nothing would be impossible.
Thinking of this, Elric's eyes began to brighten
"That's it! I've decided!"
"During this period in the abyss, I'll practise all my abilities to the topmost quality!"
"So much so, that the strength of me before and after entering here should be worlds apart!"
Making u his mind, Elric's face gradually became firm
Yes, Although his surroundings were relatively empty, but Elric knew he still had to be careful from sudden attacks
After all, if he got ambushed while being immersed in training, the results would be disastrous.
Realising this, Elric quickly gave Ava an order.
"Ava, once again my back is up to you"
"During this training, as long as anything that moves comes near me, please let me know"
Purposely using the words 'anything that moves' Elric smiled in satisfaction.
Unlike what people may believe that only Abyss demons live in the abyss, Elric who wasn't sure of it couldn't take the risk.
So in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Elric decided to be as vague and collective as possible
This way the chances of him encountering enemies or interruptions during training had reduced drastically.
"Oh right ava, before we start there's one last thing I need to do"
Speaking to Ava, Elric suddenly slapped his head obviously he couldn't believe he just forgot something important
*Sigh.., I probably got too engrossed in the idea of training and practically forgot*
Shaking his head, Elric smiled wryly thinking his bad habit of being carried away had happened again
Thankfully it wasn't too late.
"Right Ava, I almost forgot about Davis circle method"
"Although it might not be as powerful or have as many Abilities as George's or Alvin's routes"
"However, out of all of them, Davis circle theorem seemed to have the most potential"
Thinking of the future strength a ninth-circle wizard ought to have, Elric smiled in satisfaction
However, not everyone thought this way.
"Hehe Master, are you sure that you're not saying this because you think the pain would be less this time"
"After all, since there's no bodily transformation, this time so there shouldn't be any reason for pain"
Laughing at Elric, Ava couldn't help but accuse him of running away from the pain he encountered the last two times.
Seeing Elric just snorted coldly
"Humph what do you know, this master has never been one to lose to pain"
Speaking to Ava, Elric began to once again sit in a lotus position ready to build the first circle in his heart
"Let's go Ava, I'm leaving everything else up to you!"
And so after saying these words, Elric closed his eyes and began to act.
"I see it, I see mana!"
Soon the time passed, and under Elric's serious concentration, the mana in the surroundings had been completely felt by him.
Next, all that was next to do was gather it in his heart and begin to build his first circle
*Phew…*
*Take it easy Elric, relax.*
*It doesn't matter if you make a mistake building the first circle, after all apart from a little backlash after resting for a bit you can try again*
Once again using the familiar process of speaking to himself to calm down, Elric quickly began to build his first circle.
*Ba-dump!*
*Ba-dump!*
*Ba-dump!*
With him focusing on his heart to build the first circle, Elric felt overtime his heartbeat had become more prominent
Always beating as if to remind him he was still alive.
Soon time passed, and unknowingly Elric began to murmur as he sensed his success drawing near.
"Almost there! Just a bit more!"
Increasing his levels of concentration a bit more, Elric doubled his efforts as he felt the completion of the circle drawing near
*Boom!*
And like a bomb exploding in Elric's heart, after placing the final rune, Elric's circle had been finally completed.
Now, after a period of repeated suffering, Elric could have been said to have successfully digested the powers of Alvin, George, and Davis.
Realising this, Elric couldn't help but look forward to his training later on
