Chapter 43 Experiments
Suddenly, the vampire's eyes brightened in joy, he glanced at Azriel and smashed his head on the floor again.
"T-Thank you! Thank you for sparing me, Sir Azriel!"
Azriel frowned when he saw the vampire thanking him for no reason.
He did not do anything…
What is wrong with him…
"AAAGGGHHHH!!"
Suddenly, the Vampire screamed in agony as he held his head, veins popped out all over his head and his pale skin turned even paler.
Azriel noticed that his eyes' colour started fluttering, from normal brownish to red then back to brown, and these transitions happened within seconds.
The vampire continued to scream and then as if someone had pressed a button, he passed out.
No, he did not burst apart, he just passed out.
Azriel, Luminia and Ithania glanced at each other.
Luminia then waved her hand and the vampire's body rose to the sky before it was placed back on the stone bed.
"What happened to him…?" Azriel questioned in confusion.
"His body is going through some changes… I can feel it…" Luminia muttered with an amused smile on her face.
"Changes?" Ithania questioned.
"Yes, changes. Now don't ask me what is changing since I don't know. I presume that Azriel's blood is changing something in his body."
"How long would we have to wait for?" Azriel questioned.
He was getting impatient. Although it was his idea about create a strong army with his blood, he wasn't good with all these experiments thingy, he would rather cultivate or fight with Luminia.
"Who knows? 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years… nobody knows… Azriel…" Luminia muttered with a smile on her face.
As an old vampire, this much time was nothing for her.
"…we have to wait for years…?" Azriel questioned in wonder.
"We might have to." Luminia nodded.
"But don't worry, we will wait here for 30 minutes, if he doesn't wake up, we will tie him up and leave," Luminia muttered.
Azriel sighed in relief.
Azriel, Luminia and Ithania waited.
Azriel was, of course, the most impatient one in the group.
However, lady luck seems to be on his side as 15 minutes later, something happened.
Pungent black coloured blood started coming out from the vampire's skin. The scene was quite similar to when Azriel drank that blood in the royal palace before.
The black blood kept coming out for 30 seconds, filling the whole room with a pungent smell.
Ithania frowned in disgust, Azriel was more excited about what was happening, while Luminia just didn't care.
When she noticed that the blood had stopped coming out, she waved her hand again, and just like before, the blood ball formed, it sucked all the black blood in and was thrown away.
1 minute later, the vampire's eyelids fluttered a little before he opened his eyes.
His previous brown eyes were now red, his skin turned a little paler but the difference was very high and his dried lips now turned normal.
His changes were quite similar to Azriel's however, there were some differences, Azriel's eyes were redder, his skin tone was paler and most clear of all, Azriel had gained some mass and had a major change in his physique, however, there was no apparent change in this vampire's physique.
The vampire then sat on the stone bed as he observed his hands before making a fist. His eyes brightened up a little and then he glanced at Azriel, Luminia and Ithania.
"What did you do to me?"
However, instead of answering his question, Azriel's blood-red eyes shined as he ordered.
[Silence]
The excitement in the Vampire's eyes dimmed down and it turned blank, similarly, his face became expressionless as well.
Yes, Azriel used [Charm] on him.
It was a lot easier to interrogate him this way, he wouldn't have to worry about him lying, nor he would have to bother wasting his time by telling him what he did or whatever.
He was here to ask questions, not to answer questions.
[Tell me, how is your body different from before?]
"My strength and speed increased. I feel healthier and more active now"
The vampire replied vaguely and Azriel's eyes turned blank.
'I better do it my own way…'
He thought inwardly before his blood red eyes shined and,
[Name: Elainus Star]
[Age: 26 ]
[Mana Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal. ]
[Race: Half Vampire ]
[LVL:1]
[HP: 90/90]
[STR: 4 --> 5 ]
[AGL: 5 --> 6]
[VIT: 8 --> 9]
[STM: 4 --> 6]
[INT: 3 --> 6]
[DEF: 3 --> 4]
And all the information about the vampire appeared in front of Azriel's eyes.
"His strength, speed, defence, vitality, stamina and intelligence, everything increased!" Azriel exclaimed with his eyes shining in excitement.
"How is it compared to Ithania?" Luminia questioned, unlike Ithania, she wasn't surprised by how Azriel knew about all this. She knew about Azriel's system and his ability to see others 'information'.
Azriel then turned towards Ithania and his blood-red eyes shined.
[Name: Ithania Sky ]
[Age: 18 ]
[Mana Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal. ]
[Race: Vampire - Demon ]
[LVL:1]
[HP: 100/100]
[STR: 8]
[AGL: 9]
[VIT: 10]
[STM: 9]
[INT: 12]
[DEF: 7]
"He is somewhat lacking compared to her." Azriel answered.
Luminia started thinking before she muttered,
"Does that mean that we can increase the dosage?" Luminia muttered to herself.
She then glanced at Azriel and nodded.
A frown appeared on Azriel's face as he questioned,
"Huh? We are continuing the experiment?"
"Of course, we need to find the perfect dose. Don't slack off"
Azriel shook his head in disappointment before he turned towards Elainous and ordered.
[Alright, go stand there]
He then turned towards another vampire and ordered.
[You, go and sit there and keep your mouth open]
Luminia then waved her hand, this time, however, instead of 1 drop, 10 drops of diluted diluted blood flew up before it entered the vampire's mouth.
[Drink]
*Gulp*
1 minute passed and just like before,
"AAAGHGHHHHH!!!"
The vampire screamed in agony, he then glanced and Azriel and started begging.
"Sir Azriel! Please stop this! I will be loyal to you! I beg you! Please!!"
The scene was very familiar to the previous one, and just like Elainous's, this vampire's eyes brightened up in joy as well.
"Thank yo- AAAGGHHHHHH!!!"
However, before he could thank Azriel, an agonizing pain assaulted his body and he lost consciousness.
Luminia waved her hand, the body was then placed on top of the stone bed.
The three of them waited, however, this time, they were not so lucky,
*Burst*
*Boom*
10 minutes later, the vampire's body burst apart.
Since they had already seen something similar to it 3 times before, none of them were bothered, Luminia simply formed an invisible shield to avoid all the blood that was about to fall on their bodies.
Yes, this time, she saved Ithania as well.
The blood ball was then formed and everything was cleaned away.
"10 drops is too much…"
Luminia noted before she glanced at Azriel.
Azriel nodded back.
Another vampire was sent to the stone bed.
This time, 5 drops of diluted diluted blood were taken.
The vampire didn't burst apart and the experiment was successful.
"5 drops is fine..." Luminia noted.
"Is his improvement better than Elainous?" Ithania questioned, she guessed that Azriel somehow had a way to check improvement.
"Yes, there is a slight change, although not that much, but still better than before." Azriel nodded.
Luminia then glanced at Azriel and another vampire walked forward.
This time, 6 drops of diluted diluted blood were taken and the Experiment succeeded again.
"6 drops is fine as well…"
"Any improvements?" Ithania questioned.
"Not many differences, it is pretty much the same as before…" Azriel answered.
Luminia nodded and the experiment continued.
Another vampire was then fed with 7 drops and he survived as well.
However, the vampire who was fed 8 drops wasn't that lucky, as his body exploded in a similar way as the vampire who had 10 drops.
The only difference was that rather than bursting apart in 10 minutes, he took 13 minutes.
Right now, from the initial 9 vampires (including Lupas), 8 were experimented on, 4 vampires survived, and 1 remained untouched.
However, how could Luminia let that happen?
She then fed him 7 drops just to check if the 7 drops were indeed the best dosage, the vampire survived and Luminia nodded to herself.
7 drops were indeed safe and ideal.
[Name: Crack Zenith]
[Age: 28 ]
[Mana Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal. ]
[Race: Half Vampire ]
[LVL:1]
[HP: 90/90]
[STR: 4 --> 6 ]
[AGL: 5 --> 7]
[VIT: 8 --> 9]
[STM: 4 --> 6]
[INT: 3 --> 6]
[DEF: 3 --> 5]
Indeed the perfect result.
"…What do we do with the vampires who survived?" Ithania questioned with a frown.
"What else is there to do? We kill them of course."
Azriel answered without any hesitation.
"No, we will not kill them" Luminia muttered.
A frown appeared on Azriel's face and he questioned, "They are all troublesome, plus, with the pain they had gone through, they most definitely wouldn't be loyal to us..."
However, Luminia wasn't worried.
Rather, there was a slight smile on her face.
