Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 502 The Forbidden Library, The Academic World (7)

it was not surprising that immortality was not behind the 150,000 power. he had already thought it might be something like that; after all, the concept of 'immortality' didn't seem to be easy to understand or achieve.

however, something key was written in this book.

immortality disappeared at some point.

'what exactly does it mean?'

those words could mean many things. but they gave a hint that from a certain point onwards, vampires' immortality disappeared, meaning that they had it before.

that being the case, how many had immortality? what did one have to do to attain it? isla's immortality may have the answers, but knowing the answers to those two questions, he may also find the answers to why isla has such immortality.

so matthew closed his eyes and tried to immerse his mind in his recently acquired memories.

his mind went from the present to when he hung out with isla day and night in the ancient era. the two of them didn't get to go on many adventures, or at least not that matthew could remember.

but he soon frowned and looked back at that part of the book.

'...she didn't have immortality, just super healing. but... i did have immortality.''

as he reminisced, he naturally recalled times when he was injured, and his body healed incredibly fast. he didn't even consider it a problem. back then, small or large injuries were just momentary pains that disappeared soon after when he recovered.

that being the case, why was he no longer immortal now?

but no matter how hard he tried to remember, he eventually ended up grabbing his head and stopped thinking.

'it's painful to remember that time. a huge void in my mind prevents me from remembering that one comfortably.' in the end, he sighed and decided to continue reading the book.

the book seemed to explain the power system that rules the world, but not around the number system but around the four universal paths.

-control.

-deception.

-perception.

-destruction.

the depth of these four paths and the importance in the numerical power system seemed to be more than matthew expected.

and it also listed the great vampire advantage, which exists because of his father.

this great advantage... well, actually, there are two significant advantages.

the first one is the possibility of reaching the first stage of one of the 4 paths before 100,000 power, making it easier to advance to the next power stages.

the second advantage is that at 150,000 power, the power system forces you to understand the universal paths. you will no longer understand the power and its meaning but will understand the universal paths and forge them based on your preferences. thanks to that, vampires are very close to the universal laws, which does not happen with all races.

but, the first phase wasn't just about reaching 'early understanding', that just unlocks the path of control skill. initially, that ability was everything.

-...but, from a certain point onwards, the father of power and his heir created what was once called: the deepening of the pathways.

it gets a name, too: your reality is his reality.

perhaps the most absurd level of all the paths. not for nothing is it the most difficult to achieve. the ability to change reality was absurd, even for matthew.

he was shocked to read this.

he remembered something.

what he had seen in that 'dream' when he received his first ability. that day, he saw an amazing man who taught him the three phases of the path of control.

maybe he hadn't forgotten it, but he had overlooked it all this time.

suddenly, he felt a severe headache, and his mind went dark. he fell backward and leaned against one of the shelves, which moved abruptly, startling gray and murphy.

"young master!"

"boy!"

they both ran to where he was to grab him, but suddenly, the figure of a beautiful, captivating woman appeared on the other side.

gray looked at her in shock. 'she's... that little girl, isla?'

isla was a little changed. no, she wasn't a little. she was very much changed.

the outline of her figure looked more exalted. she had grown a little; maybe she was now alice's size and looked a little older than gray remembered. her aura had also changed; it was more controlled. the most surprising thing was that she got too close without them being able to notice.

she didn't even make a sound when she walked, which was amazing.

they could not feel her, nor could they understand her drastic change.

isla nodded to them both. "he's fine. you do what you must; i'll take care of him." after saying this, she bent down and grabbed him in her arms to carry him somewhere else under the gaze of both of them, who couldn't even react.

the shock was written all over their faces.

"hey, gray."

"say, old buddy."

"isn't that isla moore, my daughter's subordinate?"

"yes... i think so."

"then..."

"i don't know..."

"..."

"..."
