Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 169: Training to increase vampire power (1)
So, the days went by.
Due to their short time, Matt decided to spend five days training the physical body and ten days increasing the vampiric power, as it was the most difficult at this point.
So, after five days of intense physical training in which they both pushed their bodies to the limit, they felt rejuvenated and ready for what was to come.
The workouts to increase vampiric power must be getting harder and harder for both of them.
Already, a 1-hour training beating puppets does not give them too much power; it gives them a minimal amount, which was immensely reduced from the moment they ascended to the 5,000 power.
During these five days, they increased their vampiric power a little, even though that was not the objective, simply as a secondary effect to the increase in body power.
That makes those types of workouts less effective.
They must train with workouts that push their bodies to the limit and make them bleed to feel the pain and sweat of the workout so that it can be more effective.
That was precisely why Matt decided to train the body first so that he could endure what was to come from now on.
Once that training was over, it was time to start the real training that could categorize them and see how much power they could increase in 10 days of intense training.
That's why they entered the vampiric power training room.
For some reason, this room had a illuminated sign above it all that said, -It's Fair.
Matt couldn't figure out what it meant, so he continued.
It is assumed that this place had a similar modality to the physical training around the bloody baths. It's just that, apparently, here, every power was increased many times.
So, both were careful when they entered and activated the mechanisms.
Soon, several shots of blood shot out of the mechanisms on the walls. Both of them could see a greater number of inscriptions that had that function in this room.
Those shots were not aimed at them. Instead, they fell to the floor with a bloody explosion, and a bloody character began to rise from that spot.
These characters were about 180 centimeters tall. Their faces had no eyes or mouths; they were totally bloody, but somehow, they could tell the exact location of Matt and Isla.
They had somewhat varied weapons created with blood in their hands, such as swords, spears, etc.
As soon as they appeared, they launched themselves hard on Matt and Isla, their contenders this time.
*BOOM*
The explosion of vampiric power that was unleashed as soon as they hit their targets was tremendous and pushed both of them back.
'How strong.' Matt thought and quickly ran towards them, landing a blow to two in their stomachs.
Still, these guys don't have weaknesses as basic as breathing, so the recovery was instantaneous. They immediately attacked Matt with a powerful stun force that he received in his arms.
Isla was making a superhuman effort to be able to stand; after all, these guys were too strong. Still, she was soon pushed back with a blow delivered to her stomach with a spear.
"Buagh..." A spurt of blood came out of her mouth then.
"Isla!" Matt was quickly able to wriggle away from those in front of him and appeared to Isla's side to avoid being hit again and, at the same time, hit one of the bloody soldiers in the head.
It was a precise and quick move, which paid off, but the number of bloody fighters was too many.
He was soon knocked backward as well, though he protected Isla.
"Are you okay?" he asked, getting up, and Isla nodded awkwardly.
"Just knocked the wind out of me for a moment, sorry. I'll fight properly." She replied and Matt nodded, looking straight ahead.
"I don't understand their weaknesses; it's probably the amount of hits they can take since they were formed by blood. But I don't know how many hits they can take, so let's try to hit them as many times in the head as possible to see if we can do anything. Also, be careful." He said and turned to look at her to wipe some blood off her cheek.
"I got hit in the arms, too; they were so fast I didn't even notice them." Matt said.
He also showed her his own wounds.
He had several sharp-edged wounds on his arms.
It was surprising that they could wound him in such a way, in a situation where he was so focused on fighting that he shouldn't have missed any of the opponent's points.
Perhaps they were faster than he imagined.
They soon returned to combat, for they could not wait too long without the three hours having passed.
Thus, they once again plunged into bloody combat.
Blows sounded back and forth as the combat's intensity peaked.
Bloody droplets floated everywhere and fell to the ground soon after, but so did the bloody combatants.
As Matt had suspected, these bloody fighters had no weaknesses in sight; their resistance was limited to a few hits. The problem was that the number of blows was too great and had to be to the chest, stomach, or head.
The number of blows could not be measured; some had more resistance than others, but they took around 40 to 50 blows given in the right way.
Some exceeded that amount by a certain margin.
Also, occasionally, powerful shots came from the sides, striking them and making them feel sore.
And so the first 3 hours ended.
The blood that covered Matt and Isla's bodies could not tell if it was their own blood or the blood of the bloody fighters, but they had a large number of wounds on their bodies.
'They're not going to recover that quickly...' Matt thought and sighed.
"Matt, did you find out why they can inflict so many wounds on us? I still haven't managed to see those attacks; what's going on?" Isla asked, and Matt nodded.
"It's kind of unavoidable. The blood that comes off of them with every movement has the ability to cut. It's as sharp as their swords. But I get why that said 'It's Fair' at the entrance to this room." Matt replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Look at those inscriptions on the ground. They're all to control the bloody fighters on them. I don't understand them, but they seem to use very advanced magic. They have the ability to increase or decrease the power of those bloody fighters, depending on the opponent they're going to face. When they face you, they are weaker than when they face me.
I guess it's the same with the blood; when it comes off them, it's sharp; when it's on them, it has incredible defense, and when it's on their attacks, it has incredible penetrating power."
"It's a near-perfect mechanism." Matt replied.
