On the other hand, Alice was in an intense fight.
She took a step back to dodge one of these guys' murderous attacks and, at high speed, gave him a thrust in the heart with her sword, impaling him. But she couldn't stop; she quickly pulled the sword out of that guy's body to strike one coming behind her.
The sound of a thunderous crash covered the dark room as mana and vampiric power clashed together.
'How loud!' The assassin was shocked as he felt that crash and was pushed back, hands shaking.
He could see Alice lunging at him at high speed, preparing to strike him with a critical and deadly blow.
'...Shit, this woman gets stronger the more she fights...' He thought and soon felt his body being pierced by a thin, cold blade.
It was then that the others realized what was going on. Because the combat had been too fast, they could not figure it out until now.
If they looked at the corpses around them closely, they could tell that there was no blood on them. All the blood had been absorbed by that woman. Not only that, but each blow she gave was stronger than the previous one.
They bit their teeth hard to dispel their fear. They had never faced such a terrifying woman before. Though they had faced countless Grand Sorcerers to get to where they were, this was the first time they had seen someone who could get so much stronger in combat.
Even more so considering that strengthening from consuming the blood of her victims, which meant that if she continued to drink, her power would skyrocket even more than it already was.
But what could they do? Run away? Stay? The uncertainty they felt would also spell doom for each of them.
'They are all people with over 10,000 power, so my new ability has been working at the maximum level. I initially thought that the 10% upgrade would be 10% additional power, but that doesn't seem to be the case.' She thought.
Her vampiric power, which had increased to 15,510 when she and Matt became a Bloody Couple, continued to increase thanks to her having the opportunity to assassinate a few people. Plus, the training with Matt and the blood exchange as a Bloody Couple increased her cultivation tremendously in a month.
Even though they were not training intensely to avoid drawing attention to themselves, she still managed to climb to 17,500 power.
2,000 in just over a month was an incredible increase for her and anyone else. If she were to say that she achieved such a tremendous advancement without intense training, possibly no one would believe it.
But today, she finally had the opportunity to taste what her ability could do at its peak, and she must say she was amazed.
'There were 10 assassins, all had just over 10,000 power. I was able to absorb all the blood from each of them, so my power was greatly increased. Still... Why do I feel like I've surpassed 20,000 power? It hasn't even been half a year since I reached 10,000 power... This is an amazing breakthrough.
I'm sure that in the current era of Heirs, only Cecily Edevane could have achieved it.'
No matter how much she thought, if it was real what she was feeling, then her ability was more amazing than she imagined.
There was still a gap of 2,500 power between 17,500 and 20,000, so if she could obtain it in just one fight against such weak people, wouldn't it mean that she could become invincible if she fought daily against the Devourers? After all, her ability said that she could absorb any kind of blood.
'Come to think of it, maybe that's why the Heirs are always in the forefront of everything. They might have abilities similar to mine, in some way or another, that force them always to fight.' She thought and smiled.
She was finally satisfied and felt good. She could finally say she was an Heiress with Destiny without feeling bad. Although she fully understood the difficulty to come and that this was just speculation on her part, she still felt incredibly good.
So she turned to Matt to tell him the good news, plus she wanted to test how much power she had. Still, she found a pensive Matt while the woman in his arms seemed as calm as a beautiful little river.
