Vampiric Energy

Would you like to bond with weapon ?

Yes No. ?

Elena selected the yes option by simply thinking of it.

Host has successfully bonded with the "claymore." Host can now use the active and passive skills of the weapon at will.

"I must say Elena, you're indeed lucky to be chosen by the claymore. that used to be my grandfather's favourite sword."

The claymore was set with a wheel pommel capped by a crescent-shaped nut and a guard with straight, forward sloping arms ending in a quatrefoils, and langets running down the centre of the blade from the guard. It was grey in colour. Elena's claymore was 135 cm in length,with a grip of 33 cm, the blade was 107 cm, and a weight of 5 pounds.

How about you try out the sword? Alacad asked. "You seem to forget , I have no knowledge or skills about martial arts. I can't even throw a decent punch." She said.

Then let's fix that. Holding her hands in his,He led her into a private training arena. On the walls, she could see various weapons,ranging from spears,katana, daggers, double-edged longswords, bows and arrows,reverse blade swords to scythes

Standing in front of her, he began to speak. " being a vampire has its own perks, as a vampire we have vampiric energy, the stronger you are as a vampire, the stronger your vampire energy, one way to improve your vampire energy is by energy channelling.

Vampires are able to channel their vampiric energy into raw forms of energy,this energy can be fused into weapons, it can be controlled and used in attacking opponents, if channelled correctly it can be combined with various martial arts techniques.

Today, I'll show you how to channel your vampiric energy.

"To learn how to channel your energy, you need to stay in a comfortable position," alacad sat on a crossed legged position on the floor then beckon her to do the same, she joined him,mimicking his posture."Now close your eyes, try to connect with the energy at your core, this energy is located in the centre of your chest,"

She did as instructed, but this seemed to be a tedious work as she made zero progress.

Alacad then asked her to close her eyes again and visualise her internal system. He asked her to picture the flow of energy in her body.

"Now trace this energy, feel it move from your chest to your ,head,down to your hands, feet and back to your chest, follow the never-ending flow,now move back to your chest can you feel the energy pulsating?

Elena nodded in affirmation. "Good try to grow that energy."

How do I do that? She asked. " It's simple, mentally try to increase the size while moving it in a circular motion around your chest."

She focused on the instructions from alacad. After several hours, she noticed the little pulse of energy on her core had slightly increased by a few cm.

Ding! Ding!Ding!

A system notification finally broke her concentration.

Warning!

10 more hours left to complete the daily tasks assigned to Host.

Current progress of tasks

2/3 Task Completed. The host is advised to complete Task before the end of the day. Failure to complete task is Death.

Seeing the notification, she couldn't help but curse out loud. the whole time, wondering why the system would want her dead.

Are you okay? alacad asked. Hnm, I'm okay, I'm just tired of sitting down for hours.

Not having a better idea on how to tell alacad, she needed to run for 30 minutes, none stop, in order for her not to die.

She decided to ask him if he wanted to race. Raising an eyebrow, alacad asked, "Is that something you really wanna do?" Because I'm sure it's going to be a clean win for me. " I don't mind, I still wanna race you. She said.

Okay , I'll give you a head start. alacad said.

Fine, but the race will only last for 30 minutes. "Fine by me." he then proceeded to set the timer on his wristwatch.

They both walked outside the private training arena. Once outside, they headed for the woods on the eastern side of the castle.

Not taking the race seriously, he gave her a head start. Knowing she has never been one to take exercising seriously,she felt pretty impressed with her current speed. She was running 5 times faster than she had ever been her whole life, and it felt amazing.

she was surprised she wasn't tired already like her usual self. When it was remaining 3 minutes to the conclusion of the race, alacad Decided to join her, elena could feel the intense pressure of the wind behind her, the next minute she saw a blurry figure streaked passed her, leaving dust and debris behind, in the vicinity.

not wanting to fail the task, she kept running forward without stopping, cause she wasn't about to die for not completing her tasks, not if she can help it.she was still running when she got series of notifications, she decided to ignore them for now.

By the time she arrived at the spot, alacad was waiting. It was already ten minutes past the agreed duration. It took her additional 10 minutes to arrive due to the large number of distance alacad covered in the span of 3 minutes.

"I never knew you could run so fast," she said while panting lightly. laughing softly, alacad patted her on the head, " I was just warming up dear, that is not even close to my top speed.But you weren't bad yourself."

Is it just you, or every vampire in Zastlevania has super speed?

He took his time to explain to her that as a vampire, speed comes naturally, but one has to grow by training ones self In order to achieve their full potential.

He also took out time to explain the strength and speed of a vampire grows with each evolution, now while an evolution might take longer depending on the vampire, each Rank has 3 stages , a vampire will need to achieve all 3 stages before evolving to the next Rank.

The Ranks being Ordinary Vampire, Vampire Mage, Draconic Vampire , psychic vampire, vampire Demon, and Vampire god.

Most vampires can not make it pass the 3rd stage of the ordinary vampire Rank.

so being a vampire mage is already an incredible feet, the higher the Rank the harder it is to evolve to the next Rank, with less than a handful of vampire being able to achieve the Rank of a vampire God since the history of vampires.

In order to evolve, you should push yourself to the limit and train vigorously each day.

I will advise you to join the Zastlevania Warriors Academy, All young vampires are expected to attend, with the exception of vampires who has achieve the mage Rank and they wishes to focus on Spell magic rather than improving their combat skills and growing their Ranks higher.

In the academy,you can learn about various fighting techniques, how to channel and harness your vampiric energy, and a little bit of spell magic for those who are fortunate enough to evolve into a mage vampire.if you are lucky enough you might learn a thing or two about ways to tame an undead. I believe you need this much if we want to succeed moving forward.

You seem to forget I'm an adult. This is really not the time for me to start training with vampire kids. If what you say is true about the other lords, don't you think you'll be in a better position to train me? Elena asked.

Hahaha. I'm pretty sure you'll be the youngest in the academy.Another thing you need to know is ,Vampires can live for thousands of years. So a 200 years old vampire is like a teenager in your world.

Though they may look a little bit younger than you in appearance ,don't let their looks fool you.

[Sigh ] all of this still feels like a dream to me. I just want to wake up and be back in my bed, Alacad.
