Chapter 68: To the Palace
"Yikes!"
With a powerful shout, Nina unleashed a blow infused with all her might. The target was a massive rock that did not match its thin body. If someone sees this scene, the words that will immediately reflect in their minds must be an egg hitting a stone.
However, the seemingly weak fist formed a distinct indentation in the rock, and many cracks extended from it in all directions. There were three of them around such a huge rock, and each of them was densely covered with traces of Nina's punch, and judging by the number of dents, the newborn vampire had already swung his fist no less than five hundred times.
By the standards of the average human, Nina's strength has reached the level of a heavily armored warrior who has been building muscles all year round, and it can be said to be a very devastating punch. But for a vampire, and the only special vampire in the world to inherit the blood of the "ancestor", it is completely inadequate.
"Whew, Whew......"
Nina's body rose and fell rapidly with the rhythm of her breathing, and judging by her exhaustion, she probably didn't retain her strength.
"It took two weeks to barely get used to the changes in the body, and the strength was completely inadequate, so it was because there was no 'first food' yet."
Farran Lot, who was sitting in a big tree on the outskirts of the driving range, frowned after seeing Nina's training results, and said to himself in a somewhat disappointed tone.
The so-called "first food" refers to the process by which a newborn vampire feeds on human blood for the first time. Although vampires can also suck the blood of races other than humans, it may be because vampires originated from humans in the first place, and only by sucking the blood of humans can they fully exert their power in their bodies.
It's like a human being can be sustained by injecting nutrient solutions, but the body is in a weakened state.
Creatures that have been transformed into vampires, regardless of whether they have previously possessed human talents, have a chance to regain special abilities after being transformed into vampires, and newborn vampires can obtain the abilities of the object they are being sucked through the "First Eat". Therefore, for vampires, the object of "first food" is very critical, if it is a strong man full of strength, then the vampire's ** ability will be strengthened accordingly, if it is a talented magician, then the vampire's control of magic will become more accurate.
Although the "First Food" is a matter that can almost determine a vampire's abilities, it is quite difficult to carefully select the "First Food" object. One is that newborn vampires are quite weak and if they pick a strong target, they are likely to be eliminated by their opponents, and the other is that newborn vampires are in a state of extreme hunger and they are unable to make rational choices.
Therefore, it is generally only the new born that vampires with great power want to cultivate will "eat" the blood that has been carefully selected, so as to have talents superior to those of ordinary vampires, and most vampires' abilities are quite mediocre.
This is the difference in birth.
Just as people born into rich and poor families have a gap at birth, so do vampires.
As the strongest vampire, Franlot, of course, will prepare quite good human blood for Nina, but unfortunately, Nina refused.
Therefore, Nina is still a vampire who has not had a "first eclipse", which means that her abilities may be completely changed because of the "first eclipse".
However, the vampire who refuses to "first eat" has never appeared, and there is no precedent for what will happen to Nina in the end.
That's why Franlot is so interested in Nina and willing to mentor her.
"Yo roar! Lord Franlot, you're here, although it's not my job to inform you of the regular meeting, but since I've encountered it, I'll tell you by the way, meow~"
A sweet voice that felt a little contrived came from below, and Franlot moved his eyes slightly to look at the owner of the voice.
"Is it that day again? Heremio. ”
Although the words seemed to be asking the other party, Franlot's gaze did not stay on Eremio, but jumped directly behind her.
"Kilgaru?"
"It's the meaning of the Demon King, and as the companion of the Demon King, it's understandable for Lord Kilgaru to participate in the regular meeting."
Heremio smiled defiantly and deliberately doubled his voice.
"In the future, Lord Kilgaru will most likely become the administrator of the Eastern Continent, tsk, I really envy you, Lord Franlot, you should be very idle in the future."
"Hmph, I'm the King of Vampires, a completely different being from the lower undead. The Demon King would never hand over such an important matter to an undead, mindless person! ”
Although the words used to fight back were very contemptuous, a trace of jealousy and hatred could still be heard in the tone.
After all, Franlot has been following the Demon King for hundreds of years, but the intimacy is not as close as this skeleton who has known the Demon King for less than two months, and even vampires will feel psychologically unbalanced because of this.
Although it is very unpleasant to be said to be a brainless undead, but Franlot is a companion after all, and the relationship between the two has not been very good, in order to avoid causing more conflicts, Kilgaru still decided not to care.
"Hehe, you really have confidence in yourself! However, Lord Kilgaru is the one who founded the monster kingdom, and he is not a brainless immortal, and his management skills are quite clever. ”
Heremio's eyes flashed with a sly glint as he pursued in an aggressive tone.
Along with the verbal duel between you and me, a strong smell of gunpowder rose between Franlot and Herremio. However, the two have been disagreeing with each other for a long time, and it has to be traced back to before the two became subordinates of the demon king Cecia.
Just as Kilgaru hesitated to step forward to stop the two of them arguing, a familiar voice came into his ears.
"Lord Kilgaru, it's been a long time, although I heard that you are also on this continent, but this is the first time I have seen you, is your cultivation still going well?"
Hearing the sound outside the training ground, Nina, who had come to check it out, smiled rather happily when she saw Kilgaru.
"It's going well, Nina, you've been ...... lately What do you think? ”
However, Kilgaru's voice didn't sound so clear, and although he didn't have eyeballs, he wouldn't be noticed even if he looked away, but Kilgaru subconsciously lowered his head. Unable to get the Holy Fountain to save Nina, and having turned her into a vampire, Kilgaru felt guilty.
"I'm fine, although I couldn't accept the changes in my body at first, but now I'm grateful for everything you've done for me, because I finally have the strength to protect the people I hold dear."
As if to see Kilgaru's guilt, Nina responded in a sunny and warm tone.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's wait until the meeting is over. Meow~"
Seemingly having gained the upper hand in the argument with Franlot, Herremio scratched his ears and urged in a somewhat smug tone.
"Nina, you're now a member of the East Road camp, so come along."
Franklo, whose face was full of displeasure, beckoned to Nina, and then quickly walked to the front of the group.
So, the four people with different origins walked to the palace of the demon king together.
