Chapter 436 First Evolution
The man who had just been hit regained consciousness as he was rolling on the ground, dozens of meters away from where he should be. 'What happened?' He had been totally bewildered and in pain.
That was the moment the other man regained his consciousness and realized what had happened. "Third Mask, the girl's tough!" he shouted as he leaped towards Isla, wanting to grab her.
The fact that they both broke free of her ability so quickly gave Isla a slight headache, but her concentration remained firm. She took a step back to avoid him, managing to duck away, and then launched a punch towards his face, impacting it with relative ease.
The man had to back up several feet because of the pain on his face. 'Tsk, what the hell is going on? Does this woman have a skill?' Just before he could dodge, he felt as if his mind was working at such a slow speed that he had trouble processing the situation in front of him, making him unable to even dodge.
Isla smiled as she saw this and jumped back towards that man, wanting to hit him with ferocity again. But that made her run out of defense, so a sinister smile emerged on the man's face in front of her, bringing a shiver to Isla's body. 'I made a mistake.'
Then, a shadow appeared beside her.
"Hehe, little beauty, you're pretty good. Don't you want to join us?" The voice sounded sinister behind the mask of the newcomer, who was mere inches away from grabbing Isla's head with the palm of his hand.
Yet, at that very moment, a voice came to him. "Why don't you join the dead of your junk organization? They're waiting for you with open arms." Along with that voice, a terrifying blow struck his head from behind, sending him crashing to the ground without even being able to take another step.
That shocked the men watching from the sides. "Matthew Dietrich!" a roar came from one of them, recognizing him immediately - how could they not recognize him? He's the target of the organization they work for!
The closest one recognized him. He jumped towards Matthew to try to give him a clean hit when he was careless. In his hand appeared some extremely small weapons, which he threw with ferocity towards Matthew.
It was an extremely fast movement and even Matthew had to be surprised by that speed of reaction. Even so, those weapons soon collided with something invisible and came to a complete stop while the guy's punch hit Matthew's fist, pushing him a couple of meters.
Still, the mind of the man suffered a small shock in that instant that left him off guard. It was only for a moment, but when he regained consciousness, his head was floating above his body. Matthew appeared on the other side of the guy at that moment, managing to kill him in one move.
His eyes sparkled then. 'Amazing. He had no defense whatsoever, so this is the power of her ability.' He couldn't help but look at Isla and nod at her with acknowledgment.
The moment she activates her ability and manages to affect someone, for a brief moment, that person loses all defensive capacity because his mind is in disarray. That is the opening it creates. At that moment, the affected person loses sight of the person in front of them.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Originally, Matthew thought it only applied to Isla and could not be combined with him, but apparently, that is not the case. 'It seems I should ask her more questions regarding that. Even when I'm the one who created that ability, I can't know if she can develop it in a different way.' Still, this was neither the time nor the place to do so.
Matthew simply took a moment to think about it and, the next moment, activated his sword domain. He immediately disappeared from where he was and appeared above the guy who had been sent flying by Isla.
He was less than 100 meters away, so he came in the blink of an eye and broke his neck in one attack. The man who was watching everything from afar could not even know how he died when the power in Matthew's body rose up.
At the same time, something strange happened in front of him that made him amazed.
The blood on the body of this man and the one he had just killed about 40 meters away from him came out of those guys' bodies and swirled towards his body. It was a little strange, but suddenly and irreversibly, the blood enveloped Matthew's body as if it wanted to give him a bath and entered his body through every pore.
At the same time, inside his mind, Matthew could see two streams of blood turn into a ball and park themselves to the side of the Vampirism Tool as if they had come in to rest.
'What?' He couldn't even finish his thought when he felt his power suddenly increase by a considerable amount. 'Another increase? What is happening?' In shock, he wanted to see what had happened, but he didn't need to see it to know, as a strange thought came to his mind.
The Vampire had completed its first evolution.
'Evolved!?' Although he didn't know where that thought came from, the feeling his ability gave him right now was different, proving that it had indeed evolved. But although he wanted to see what had happened, the newly obtained power in his body made him ignore that for a moment.
'Amazing, that's over 70,000 power, eh?' A smile emerged on his face. He decided to look at the change later, as he knew he had work to do.
He returned to Isla's side, who was looking at him in shock.
Although she couldn't see anything, she instinctively knew he had gotten stronger, so she smiled. "Congratulations, Matt." She spoke. Her beautiful, warm smile sent strange currents through Matthew's body, which surprised him.
'It seems that increased power brings consequences. I can feel the blood inside me, fluttering like great waves.' He smiled at her and hugged her to him, as he remembered the problems of not having a woman in this world.
'It seems this is the first time my body could lose control, and it's because of those two new blood balls.' Though he sighed, he looked at the man who was rolling his eyes, and his mask split in half.
