The night soon came. The time when all the divine knights had gone through part of the city and were going to rest.
Matt and Alice left their hotel and went to the place where the divine knights were resting.
Alice had a mission this time: as she entered from the front, she was to prevent the knights from leaving the house. Matt would be from the shadows to get rid of the vast majority.
Matt jumped on top of a house and subsequently entered through the window of one of the rooms on the second floor.
Here, a holy knight was about to go to sleep. Matt jumped at him swiftly and with his sword in hand. Then he decapitated him unnoticed. The head fell to the ground soon after, but the blood drained from the body at great speed as the Growth Type ability he had just obtained, Bloody Assassin, activated.
This blood surrounded Matt and entered through the pores of his body to every nook and cranny, giving him a small bloody bath that didn't feel pleasant.
The uncomfortable bloody bath lasted several seconds. At the same time, his vampirism moved at high speed on its own to process all that blood along with that ability.
What did feel pleasant, though, was his increased power.
'This man had about 5,500 power. So, if it says it's 10%, then I should have advanced more than 500 power...' He thought and quickly pulled out the vampiric ball to test it.
Then, a number floated above it: 21,560 Vampire Power.
This brought a smile to Matt's mouth, who immediately put the vampire ball away.
'Since it's working, it's time to move on further.' He thought and quickly left the room.
He ran to another room where someone was, but when he wanted to enter, he realized it wasn't easy.
'Mass murders are dangerous when done by a single person, after all...' Matt thought and waited patiently for a chance to enter.
The holy knight inside seemed active while a woman was in his arms. He was unaware that a great mortal danger was approaching for him.
But Matt had to wait a couple of crucial minutes while that bastard stopped looking towards the door until he was finally able to enter. As he was a bit angry, his decisive attack cut off both heads at the same time, leading to the death of a woman of dubious provenance and a holy knight without them being able to figure out what the hell had happened.
The speed and strength of the two were far superior to those of the knights. Matt had gotten noticeably stronger thanks to those sneak attacks he managed to carry, while Alice was getting stronger during the combat. Even though the leaders had over 10,000 power, in the end, they did nothing but watch their subordinates die.
"Heh, time for you little bastards to die." Matt said, jumping towards two of them and punching them in the chest with both hands.
"Buagh" The blood churned in their bodies, and they were sent slamming into a wall.
"ATTACK WITH FORCE!" the other three shouted, focusing their attacks on Alice.
Meanwhile, the blood from their bodies remained in the air, floating gently.
'Time to try the second type...' He thought and touched the blood.
Immediately, he felt his mind fill with knowledge once again, as it always did every time he was going to use a skill for the first time. Then he pulled both arms out to the sides.
The divine knights who had been hit felt their powers shudder and their bodies tremble. The pores of their bodies opened, forming holes through which blood streams spurted out in droplet shapes.
Matt looked at this and smiled.
He immediately moved his arms as if he wanted to strike, and the drops of blood transformed into small blades and were thrown with force toward those guys, cutting them quickly.
Although the cuts were not deep, the blood that came out of each cut could be controlled by Matt, and soon, from so much blood being taken from them, they died.
Matt then directed his attack from afar toward the guys who wanted to attack Alice...
Alice was shocked after seeing this, but when she saw that Matt left those guys dying to be killed by her, she quickly decapitated them. Her power had increased drastically, but she didn't worry about it.
"Matt, what amazing ability is that? Is that blood magic?" she asked in shock, and Matt smiled.
"I'll tell you about it later. Let's get out of here. We're leaving before the villagers arrive."
Then, they ran out of the village quickly, leaving soon after.
In the meantime, Matt told her about the ability, and they began their journey to where they had planned, hoping there would be no problems on the trip...
