Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

After several hours, Alice awoke.

"Matt!" Although she was happy to see him well and awake, she was afraid to approach him because she didn't know if her touch would make him suffer.

"Did you sleep well?" Matt smiled softly at her, and she nodded several times.

"Thank you, Matt!" Carefully, she grabbed his hand to thank him.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"For saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have died out there. I don't have the ability to avoid an attack of that magnitude on my own."

Matt sighed after hearing this. "It's okay, it's nothing. I needed to save myself, and since you're my partner and you've proven to me that you're worth it, then naturally, I'm not going to let you die if I can help it."

Alice nodded, smiling happily.

"What shall we do now? Shall we keep going deeper into the Empire?" She lay down next to him after asking this question.

Matt thought several things regarding it.

If they wanted to go to the central regions of the empire, there were several problems. In a minor city, he already realized how bold the humans were to do things. Matt wasn't surprised; that was within the realm of what could happen; it just happened faster than he expected.

Originally, he didn't think he would have left any clues that would have made him a target. The only thing he could think of was that they chose many couples as targets to eliminate.

If that was the case, it made sense that he had been targeted so quickly, but he honestly didn't care right now.

The main issue was: If they went into the central regions of the empire, could they escape from the most powerful people?

'It is a dangerous situation. But, considering that they already know we are here, the situation at the border is likely to be just as dangerous. Unless we manage to contact Clan Allen on the other side, we won't be able to get out on our own.' He thought.

That was why the idea of going towards the border at this time was dismissed in his mind.

'If I decide not to get into the Guild and just decide to live in a hotel or a small house in the city, I'm sure I wouldn't be marked as a target, but that wouldn't allow us to get stronger; it's a waste of time. Besides, it's not certain that letter will reach Clan Allen.'

'Tsk.' He continued to turn his mind over until an idea occurred to him, and his eyes sparkled.

'Right...' He smiled and looked at Alice to tell her his plan.

After she heard it, she looked thoughtful and even a little excited. It wasn't a bad plan, and if Matt said so, it meant it was a good alternative for both of them.

Therefore, both agreed that they would carry out that plan.

The main part of the plan hinged on whether Matt's research on the Hexagonal Items was successful.

So, Matt pulled out the hexagonal items and was going to start investigating them.

But, just at those moments, both felt a slight shock to their bodies.

Both frowned. Matt looked confused, but Alice was so excited that she quickly pulled out her Heir Token and looked at it.

It was blinking in a clear red light...

"Matt, I've surpassed 10,000 Power!" Happiness radiated on her face. She was so happy that she jumped towards him to hug him, forgetting that a moment ago, she didn't want to touch him in order not to hurt him.

But she couldn't bear it.

Her Heir Token showed her that she had reached the height she wanted. That brilliance meant it was ready to connect Alice to the past and give her an ability.

This was the moment she was most looking forward to!

'I reached 10,000 power too. Is what I feel internally because I am her subordinate?' he thought doubtfully, though he said nothing.

"Matt, come on, let's go try to get the skills!" She said and sat down cross-legged.

"Your job is to sit behind me and try to connect with me. My job will be to connect with the token and get us to the Ancestral Dimension."

With that said, both sat back-to-back, and she began to connect with the heir token.

It was a slow process for her because she needed first to find her inner peace and tranquility, showing that she had the perfect control to be worthy of receiving an ability from that place.

She told Matt to do the same; it wasn't difficult for him. In fact, it was as simple as deciding to do so.

'I see; Professor Reagan's teachings are very good for these cases, and also my training trying to control my own power and my ice power, it has been so easy.' Matt was happy with the results, but he could immediately see that Alice was struggling.

In fact, she was doing it wrong. While trying to calm her power, her heart was restless.

Matt noticed this, so he gave her some time to do it. But even though an hour passed, she continued to do it wrong, so he smiled.

He turned around and hugged her from behind, causing Alice's eyes to widen in shock.

"Calm. A calm mind can help calm your restless heart. Just follow my steps, and you can do it correctly." After saying this, Matt grabbed Alice's arms from behind and held them in his hands.

He lifted both legs to wrap them around her and pressed his chest against her back so that she could feel the calmness in his heart. Then he closed his eyes once more.

Alice followed his lead obediently, though she didn't understand why.

"The first thing to calm down is to be able to control yourself. Control what's going on in your body, calm your heartbeat and palpitations first... Well, once you've done that, relax your mind and think that you're swimming in a sea of ideas. If the ideas and concerns that come into your mind are the water, can't you ignore them to float peacefully on them?"

After saying this, they could begin to find peace as Alice dutifully followed him in everything he had said.

She was amazed that she could achieve such an effect quickly and with so few words. She relaxed her body and leaned back slightly into him.

Then, without realizing it, the mood changed for both of them from one moment to the next.

That shocked Alice, who couldn't help but widen her eyes.

'The Ancestral Dimension? How did we get in without having connected me to the token?' she thought, but then she felt that she had indeed connected to the token. In addition to her aura, there was one more aura connected to the token, which was connected in a more perfect way than hers.

That left her in shock, and she stared at Matt, who was standing next to her...
