816 The last turn (1/2)

'Come to think about it, wouldn't the Blood fairy and the Dhampir count as 'dangerous types' that need to be dealt with? Just because they weren't wild, doesn't mean they won't be troublesome for the vampires.' Quinn thought.

Finally the evolution was complete.

[10/10 Blood rituals have been completed]

[Updating Blood ritual skill]

[Currently 10/50 Blooded]

Strangely, the 50 in the message started to be scratched out as if the system had changed its mind, and the next message confirmed Quinn's worries.

[Error, unable to complete upgrade to Blood ritual skill.]

[Added prerequisite: Complete ”Become a Vampire leader” Quest for skill upgrade]

The new amount Quinn was able to turn had come as a surprise to Quinn, but when he thought about it more it started to make sense. Usually there were around 50 of those that were closely related to the leader that knew their ability, and those that had been turned by a leader would have the same blood.

[Congratulations, you have successfully created a Strigoi]

[A Strigoi is a type of vampire that has not yet chosen its path. Evolution will commence once the Strigoi has decided on its future path. Possible evolutions include the Strigoi Mort, a dangerous vampire that focuses on physical abilities or a Strigoi Vu that is a sorcerer among vampires.]

[Strigoi are not affected by sunlight, they also consume human blood via simple touch, powering their ability to transform into an animal-like creature. Strigoi are just as mortal as vampires, but apart from their speed they share only a few physical traits. (Even this may vary depending on what animal they are able to transform into)]

'Another new subclass. I was expecting this after having had so many normal vampires lately, but at least it doesn't look to be anything dangerous.' Quinn thought.

It remained to be seen just how powerful this new subclass would be, judging by the description Quinn felt it would be somewhere between a Class C and a Class A type vampire. He was already curious about what further evolution Wevil would undergo in the future.

'So I'm a Stonkie?” Wevil asked.

”No, you're a Strigoi.” Quinn corrected him after explaining all the details to him.

”Wow, he can actually transform. Sounds like it would have been perfect for someone like me.” Dennis sighed from the side, wishing he still had his wings.

”Didn't Quinn say I would need human blood to transform? However, I don't see any humans around here.” Wevil replied.

Taking out his flask, Quinn wanted to check if Wevil could also consume it directly. Unlike the others though, Wevil didn't feel a sweet scent enter his nose. In fact, when he attempted to drink blood from the flask he felt disgusted as soon as a single drop was placed on his tongue, which wasn't the reaction of a normal vampire at all.

”It seems that the bit about consuming it through touch is quite important.” Quinn suspected. ”Let's leave it for now, but if you get the chance it would be best to learn how to use your powers as soon as possible. As for your ability, and that goes for all of you, I would hold off learning a new one for now.”

They didn't understand why, so they just assumed Quinn had a reason for telling them this. Quinn left them wondering as he walked to a different part of the ship to carry on with his business.

Taking a look at his Quest, he could now see that there was only one thing to do, selecting a second Vampire knight. After completing this Quest, Quinn would also have to head back to the tombs to meet Vincent again.

'Maybe I should hold off on selecting someone until I'm back in the Vampire World. That way I could go do the other Quest straight away.'

Honestly, Quinn just didn't have a single person in mind who he felt was undoubtedly suited for the Vampire knight role. He would also prefer to get the opinion from his current Vampire knight.

When Quinn stopped, he found himself heading into the forging room. As usual the busy sound of hammers striking down on metal was audible before one even entered the room. Looking inside, Quinn was surprised that it looked the same as before.

He had been told that Pure had attacked them, leading to some areas of the ship getting damaged, but although it could be seen in some parts, the forging area appeared as if new.

'I guess they can fix anything if they put their mind to it.'

When Alex noticed who had just walked in, he immediately put his hammer down, and rushed over pulling Quinn by the arm.

”I'm sorry Quinn, please, please you're not going to kill me, are you?” Alex asked worriedly.
