Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Alice smiled at Matt's words and nodded at him.

"I think it's always a good time to grow up and stop being so silly." She replied sincerely.

Matt nodded at her, 'Well, she's right.' He thought.

Alice then looked at Isla. "Isla, you've become very powerful. What have you been doing lately? I feel like your power has increased, and you've become more like Matt. In fact, I feel like the combat style of the two of you is a bit more similar than before." Alice said, and Isla smiled broadly at hearing such a nice compliment.

She was delighted, so she nodded several times, "Hehe, my training has paid off, then." She replied happily and moved.

"I'll pick up the corpses; wait here." She said happily and went to do as she said, leaving them alone.

Alice looked at her so encouraged that she nodded and stood by Matt's side.

"I still feel like she's gotten more radiant lately, but her power, I think, shot up these days... How strange." She said doubtfully, and Matt nodded.

"I think so, too." He spoke.

'It looks like Dietrich's blood is more amazing than I thought. That girl almost matches my recovery speed, and she's only consumed a little of my blood.' He thought.

He had to investigate how special Dietrich's blood was.

Now that he sees Alice show such high combat power overnight and sees what Isla has transformed into in such a short time just by consuming his blood, he thinks Dietrich's blood is more special than he thought, more than the vampirism.

'Well, there's also that woman... Sophia Murphy. I wonder if her special ability has something to do with Dietrich's blood.' He thought as a beautiful face flashed through his thoughts.

Yet, just then, his thoughts were interrupted when he saw the blood on the corpses.

'Red... It's true.' He thought and looked at Alice.

"Alice, have you seen people with red hair in this kingdom?" He asked doubtfully, and she looked at him.

"Red?" she asked, and seeing him nod, she looked thoughtful. At the end of her thoughts, she shook her head.

"Red hair is not common in this kingdom. It is a color that comes from the Richter Kingdom, although there is also a lot of that hair color in the Neuman Kingdom..." she said, but then she remembered something.

"Oh, right. In the Royal Family of our Kingdom, there are several people with red hair. The princess was born with crimson red hair and they say she's a beauty, though I've never been able to see her."

Matt nodded at her words, 'The Royal Family...' He thought, remembering that Miss Assassin.

'Her noble aura couldn't be hidden; could she belong to the royal family? That's quite an amazing status.' He thought, though after thinking about several more things, he cleared his mind of silly thoughts.

Just then, Isla finished picking up the corpses.

"Let's do some more research about the second mission to devise the most effective strategy." Matt said, and then they headed towards completing the second mission.

The second mission might be a bit more dangerous.

The content of the second mission is the extermination of a group of low-level assassins operating near a city called 'Dark Lake City', which is near this place.

They had first to investigate in the city to understand what was going on and seek information from that organization.

So, once they arrived in Dark Lake City, they spent two days investigating and buying information.

On the last day at night came a crucial moment. The three of them met at a small hotel in the city.

Based on their information and the guild's information, they were sure that this organization had 40 members.

It was said that the leader had a strength of 3,500. However, most of the members were not even close to the leader in strength.

Still, they were assassins dedicated to killing weak vampires for hire or to creating chaos and robbing caravans.

Even so, they recently murdered two sons of a nobleman, which brought them into the eyes of the powerful. That's how the mission came to the Bloody Dawn City and now into Matt's hands.

These assassins are not particularly strong, but they often use poison to kill, so they are known in the vicinity for this. So, it is dangerous to go with several people to investigate them if they use poison, so Matt made a decision.

"I'll investigate the terrain by myself. It's not easy to fight in a group when they use poison; everything is likely to go wrong if we go together to investigate. While I'm investigating, can you request help from the high-ranking members of the city? The guild is supposed to have given us the authorization to do so, and we should be treated as high-ranking nobles." Matt said, making both girls nod.

"Ideally, we'd get the city leader's help to launch an all-out attack against them, right?" Alice asked, and Matt nodded.

"Well then, Isla, let's go get some help." Alice said as she stood up and looked at Matt.

"Be careful, Matt. They're killers who use poison; maybe they have other vicious tricks." She said, and he nodded.

Then he disappeared from where he was and started running across the rooftops of the houses toward the city's outskirts.

This group of assassins was stationed in some small mountains on the other side of the city. They have a village there.

'It's strange that they have a village in this place, but no one has come to exterminate them from the city. The powers in the city are technically more powerful than they are, but they tend to say they're busy with the devourers, and so they can't come fight these guys here, but... It's not like there are many devourers around here.' Matt thought.

Though he sighed, the city wasn't too big either, so it was not like they had many forces available.

Once Matt arrived and surveyed the vicinity, he decided to go inside to investigate the mechanisms they used.
