If someone were to ask Matt whether he considers Vampirism to be what made the Dietrichs who they were, his answer would be a resounding 'No.'
Because the more he learns about his body, the more he realizes that it is amazing. While it is a fact that Vampirism greatly enhances his body and causes him to gain a higher percentage of power with each workout, he feels that there is something more to it. It's as if Vampirism isn't that crucial within him.
Maybe what gives him that feeling is the fact that Vampirism is always active, and he doesn't need to do something else for the effect of said ability to kick in.
Maybe it's just a mirage or an illusion. Still, his answer was simple.
"I don't think it's because of Vampirism, but I can't understand why I think so."
"Hehe, actually, Dietrich's Vampirism was a skill created by us because our whole family didn't have a Vampirism. It's like you thought, we, Dietrichs, didn't need an ability like that, and actually, that's not what made us special.
The point was that we needed a Vampirism to be able to enter into the Vampire Category, so our Leader decided to create one; that way, we would avoid creating confusion within the race. The Leader only expected to create one equal to the rest, but in the end, it came out a much better one than expected, although it had a bit strange peculiarity, and the Leader considered it a failure."
"Still, it was enough to keep the race from getting confused. And since it could be passed down from generation to generation, it was the perfect Vampirism for us. But, at the end of the day, Vampirism, for us, is just an external tool that serves no purpose.
You must understand that we are not just any type of vampire; we have more freedom, and the Vampirism you have today is really just a portion of that authentic ability.
When you fully awaken, you will be able to understand all my words, and you need not ask any questions regarding how to awaken it; you will know at the end of our talk." Once the voice returned to silence after enough talking, Matt nodded.
'Makes sense... Although it's still surprising the fact that the best Vampirism in the breed's memory was not only created to 'look like more vampires' but was also considered a failure...' Matt sighed and decided to pay attention to this person. Since he was telling him he didn't need to ask about it, he decided to ask one more thing.
It was for this reason that among many questions, he chose to ask one that he was sure he would not regret.
"If it's just one question, I just want to know, is there another Saint Clan? I won't settle for just an affirmative or negative answer." If he could know this information, it would be important for the future.
As long as he didn't know that answer, at any moment, a supreme clan could appear and catch him off guard. He could not even think about what would happen when he was already exterminated under the ashes of something impossible to save.
That's why he needed information about it.
The pair of eyes did not expect to hear this question, so he was silent for a few minutes. Matt even went so far as to think he wouldn't answer, but suddenly he spoke.
"There is. There is one more Saint Clan. I see you just want information to keep your guard up; that's fine. And I don't have too much to tell you regarding them. I can only tell you that you should watch out when Night Falls." He replied, and after saying that, a tremor occurred everywhere.
The dark atmosphere changed slightly. "Hehe, it's a pity it's such a short time, but it's not bad. Matthew, you must be patient in everything you want to accomplish; impatience will make you make mistakes. Now, there are several things I must tell you before you go."
"First, I hope to see you in the future; talking after so long feels good to me. Second, remember this very well, Matthew: You are the Heir. No one is above you, and everyone is below you. That potential sealed within you and those abilities hidden within are about to be revealed to you."
"You must keep in mind that there are three seals upon you, Matthew. The first one I am going to remove today. The Second Seal to be released, you will be able to do so in the Divine City. The third will be revealed to you later. Strive now that your potential will awaken and dig deep within yourself.
Discover your new abilities and stay strong; you are a Dietrich; do not dishonor the most glorious surname the Vampire Race has ever had."
Matt almost didn't get to hear everything he said as he suddenly felt a strong dizziness, and his body felt heavy. His mind went dark, and he disappeared from this place as if no one had been there.
