Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 506 The Forbidden Library, The Academic World (8)

only core members of the dietrich lineage could have this ability, and matthew had always been the most amazing one. it affected all vampires by a wide margin, like a ruler's aura—imperceptible but felt in the blood.

matthew nodded to her and sat nicely on the ground, drawing isla into his embrace.

"you've tried so hard."

isla smiled a little and leaned back against his chest reassuringly, wanting to enjoy his scent and the moment.

"i've only done my fair share, matt. i can't remember everything, though. a course of 10 million years is too long to remember in a short time, so i'm not sure i've accomplished everything."

matthew nodded to her, stroking her gently.

although he had several things to tell her, he kept silent for now.

instead, he pulled out the ability he had removed from his body and materialized it in front of him, in his hand.

how he had seen it when it came out was no change, but this one made isla frown.

"an ability?" she asked in shock.

matthew smiled. "it's an ability i created when we were betrayed at the border by the whites. it's a transformation. i was wondering if i could change it and improve it so that it's not as problematic as it already is."

isla nodded slightly. she wasn't there that day, so she couldn't know what had happened, though he had told her earlier.

"do you have any ideas in mind?"

"well, i have an idea regarding curses. i think i can do something amazing with curses and this ability."

"the curses?" isla frowned. "right, that's something created by the dietrichs, but they seem a little different, you know? they give me the feeling they've been modified."

matthew looked at her briefly, thoughtfully about it, and nodded. "yeah, it's possible there's some modification in them. but it's not much; the core is essentially the same. they can't create something new, so they can only resort to secondary modifications to try to appear unique."

"we must inform the young master." murphy said again.

just then, matthew showed himself.

"is it central city that is behind all the information from the library being leaked to those in that organization?" he asked as he walked towards them.

they both turned around cheerfully when they heard him, but as they were about to speak, they immediately felt a huge suppression in their blood.

as they looked at him, they could see a practically imperceptible aura overflowing from his body, making him feel like a person of great status.

that aura was amazing; it did not resemble matthew's aura before.

they both could not understand what it was all about, but they smiled.

"that's right, young master. look." murphy said, passing him the book.

the book in question was the third of the 3 they had been reading earlier: a little trick behind everything: curses.

opening the first page, matthew was met with the same saying that had characterized these books before.

'your love for dietrich will pay off, huh? i get it. so, this is a curse too, but it's perfectly crafted.' he thought.

in fact, as he opened the book, the book itself said so.

-if you're reading this, i congratulate you. but you probably don't know about curses. they are an alternative to magic created by clan dietrich, their last legacy.

you should know that you have already witnessed a curse—just on the page before this one. no one who has not been able to read what the previous page says will be able to read what this page says.

that is a small trick within the curses but a very powerful one. only those who feel love towards the dietrich clan or any of its members will be able to read what is written behind this little curse. it's a way to ensure that traitors don't access clan dietrich's deep secrets.

well, not that there are any deep secrets here.

with a short introduction, the book began.
