"Guard these places, Cameron," Aur commanded.
"Yes, Elder," Cameron respectfully replied.
Aur then went directly towards the garden and slowly retrieved seeds from it.
"I guess it's time to plant these things, huh," Aur muttered as he took out some seeds from the bag. Among them were one red, one blue, two white, and one black seed and many other colours with some strange feeling to them.
Even as Aur held the seeds, he could feel a strange energy passing through them, prickling his skin.
Aur extended his hand forward, and his crimson eyes glowed as the ground was suddenly lifted without any obstacle, carving a two-metre square hole instantly.
He looked at the hole and calculated the distance between them before planting one blue and one red seed on opposite sides, far from each other.
"Hmm, this should do the trick," Aur thought with a calculating gaze as he started to supply mana to both seeds simultaneously.
The blue and red seeds started to shine brightly once Aur supplied them with mana. Even when he stopped supplying the blue mana, the seeds continued to glow, actively being nurtured by the mana in the surroundings.
Aur seemed to have triggered a new activation for the seeds. With a nod of his head, he jumped up and landed on the ground, closing the hole with the soil.
"Let's speed up the process," he thought as he continuously supplied his blue mana to the soil, which was instantly sucked in by the seeds like a black hole.
In just a few breaths, Aur's blue mana rapidly consumed strands of mana and was constantly used up.
When Aur looked at his mental space, his eyes widened with shock.
He hurriedly stopped his supply of mana.
"In just a hundred breaths of time, it almost emptied my light blue mana reserve!?" Aur's heart stirred at the thought.
His pupils contracted as he gazed at the spot where he had supplied his mana.
A small, twisted branch had already sprouted from the ground, emitting a hot and cold aura in a strange harmony.
Frostfire Sage!
It was a common ingredient used to refine many spells as a basic material.
Aur looked at it with a satisfied expression, but his heart stirred from the steep cost of using his mana to directly nourish it.
William activated the spell with a thought, looking at a mouse in the distance. His blue eyes started to glow.
The mouse that lay on the table was instantly sucked dry, turning into a corpse in mere moments, with a tiny drop of blood essence floating in midair within a breath's time.
Just seeing the blood gave William a strange sense of excitement.
With a thought, it entered his body, and instantly, William could feel his blood and Qi slowly increasing, and even his body slowly strengthening.
"Tier one blood magic: Blood Devourer."
Feeling the strengthening effects, William was ecstatic, but his expression strangely twisted not long after.
The next moment he opened his eyes, he saw the rat in a spirit-like form staring at him with hatred.
"Eh!?" Before William could even react, it instantly attacked him, entering his body.
William's pupils rolled as he directly fainted lying on the cold floor of his basement.
After a long time, he finally stood up with a frown on his face.
"What just happened to me?"
"This is the consciousness of the rat attacking you, mixed with the resentment of these beings as well. No matter how weak the creature is, its resentment cannot be underestimated," Asmodeus said in his head. "Even if you have strength in the future, the resentment of the creature is very hard to get rid of."
"Then what should I do, Asmodeus?" William asked with a frown.
"For now, use the spell and upgrade your physique as much as possible with the true vampire bloodline. The effects of the consciousness affecting you will be minimised, and you can solve these problems later," Asmodeus advised.
"Alright," William nodded with a sigh.
"Master, why are you being gullible towards these bastards? He cannot be trusted at all," Lily suddenly interjected, her tone filled with resentment.
"You are right, Lily, but he can quickly increase my combat power while you can't," William simply replied, causing Lily to fall silent.
"You are really a brat, Lily," Asmodeus muttered inside the golden text.
"I know you primordial demons cannot be trusted. What type of scheme are you up to now?" Lily said with a frown.
Asmodeus remained entirely silent, not even bothering to reply.
