"Master, calm down. It wasn't your fault that they didn't die," Lily's voice rang in William's ears.
"Lily, you don't have to console me. I know the truth," William said, calming down slightly.
"Hehehe, kid. I gave you a blood spell to imprint, but you didn't listen to me. If you had cultivated the blood spell, this wouldn't have happened," Asmodeus' voice also rang in his ears.
"You..." William cursed speechlessly.
The wind rustled in the forest, tickling his skin as he was left alone to contemplate, soaked in blood.
After a long time gathering his strength, William stood up and walked out of the forest with determination shining in his eyes.
"I will imprint the blood spell as well, Asmodeus."
"As you should, since now you have the bloodline of a true vampire," Asmodeus' voice resounded in William's head again.
"What about my vital spell after combining them?" William suddenly thought, "Hey, can you guys both give me spells that can be used for combining?"
"Oh," Asmodeus seemed slightly surprised when he heard this. "Alright, I will give it."
"I will give it to you as well, Master," Lily also said directly in his mind.
"Thank you, both of you," William said with a smile.
...
Aur looked ahead with a frown creasing his brow.
"Are you sure this was the place I told you about?" Aur spoke coldly, turning to his left where a woman wearing a leaf dress stood, revealing some of her tender skin.
"Yes, these should be the place, immortals," the woman nodded timidly.
"Aur, we can't find any traces of the beast anywhere around here," John said as he emerged slowly from the bushes, his expression troubled.
"Oh?" Aur raised his eyebrows, glancing at the woman.
The woman trembled in fear under Aur's gaze, gritting her teeth nervously.
"Immortal, this is the place."
"I hope you are telling the truth, as your entire family's decision rests on this," Aur said calmly, patting her shoulder.
"If you want, Aur, you could take her to play with you," George suddenly spoke from the shadows, a mischievous smirk on his face.
The woman trembled even more with trepidation at George's words.
Quest: Daily (completed)]
–––––
Since his muscles had become comparable to those of a mid-tier wizard, he had never allocated any points to any of his attributes, just letting them be and collecting dust. But now, he wanted to use them.
The extra attributes he had gained came from training himself through his daily exercises.
Although Aur didn't focus much on muscle training, he was still a little disappointed to know that his progress barely increased his physical training by much.
His physique grew stronger, but with it, his training yielded weaker results as well.
He could already carry the weight of two tons in his arms and legs each, and even now he was carrying it, but unfortunately, the effect had diminished rapidly.
With a thought, he willed and used all his stat points on his muscle mass attribute. The blue panel in front of him flickered as warm energy seeped into every fibre of his being, slowly nurturing his entire muscles.
–––––
-Muscle mass: 4.06 (+) [Tier one (high)]
-Intelligence: 2.0 (+)
Stat Points: 0
–––––
"Hmm?" Aur was a little surprised as he accessed his own body. His perception rose rapidly, and his muscles became stronger and stronger. With it, his height subtly increased, and his body grew bulkier.
However, he was even more surprised to feel that his muscles were being strengthened continuously in a subtle way, unlike most of the time when Aur's physique instantly upgraded itself.
"Hmm, what happened Aur?" Dorthy asked with a tentative expression.
"Nothing," Aur replied, just glancing at the shadow. Immediately, he shot forward in an instant, his figure flickering.
A gust of wind blew, tousling Dorthy's hair, surprising her greatly at the sheer speed of Aur.
In almost an instant, Aur swiftly intercepted the shadow, making it turn sideways with a screech, only to be caught by a large hand.
"Caught you, little bunny," Aur casually remarked as the shadow finally revealed itself, looking just like a normal rabbit with long, tender paws and hind legs.
Its red eyes seemed to look at Aur with intelligence.
It gave a pitiful look to Aur, as if wanting to garner his pity, but the only thing it found was cold eyes that seemed to contain no emotion within him.
"You are coming with us," Aur said, tightening his grip on the rabbit, causing it to squeak in pain.
