Chapter 222: His first creation (2)
Not only was he watching her flesh and blood transform into that of a vampire, with even her eyes changing color and turning red, but he was also witnessing the mana power in her body transform into vampiric power.
'How is it possible?' Matt was immersed in deep thought for a couple of minutes, trying to come up with the result.
From one moment to the next, his eyes flashed, and he stared at this woman's body.
'It could be...' A possibility crossed his mind, and it seemed to be very possible.
'Her body already started to recognize vampiric blood as her real blood. While the vampiric blood inside her, already started to function properly, that tells me that she already has Vampirism. That being the case, is the Vampirism working hard, to process human blood, into power?'
'After all, in part, it is the blood that carries the power. When you die and the blood stops circulating, immediately the power starts to come out, whether it's mana or vampiric power. That tells me that blood is a fundamental part of the body having power.
And she hasn't lost too much blood, just some black blood, which is tainted blood because it refused the transformation and Vampirism discarded it.'
'So, the rest of the blood is being converted into vampiric power, with all the mana it has. The other fundamental part of the power, the body has, since it is the main container...' Matt was amazed at the way the body worked in this respect.
Besides, he did not expect the research on modern Earth to be of any use to him in a situation like this. Although it did not seem to have any value at first glance, for Matt, this information was precious. Understanding where the power came from and the importance of blood in it would allow him to better develop his skills and attack with more precision.
He was satisfied with his thoughts for now, so he stopped thinking. At a later date, he would research this sort of thing more; for now, he needed to hurry the process along.
That was why he prepared to suck the blood once more from this woman, but before he could do so, he noticed her eyes flicker.
It had taken almost 24 hours for her to react that way, so Matt stared at her and set her down when he noticed she was trying to get up.
She looked at herself doubtfully for a brief moment, her gaze slightly lost as she tried to understand what had happened.
She couldn't understand too much, but her mind was not blank.
She had memories and could understand them well.
She distinctly remembers meeting a vampire in that square, and it sucked her blood. According to the books, that normally would have caused nothing more than a slight change in her human complexion. This change would never overcome her own race, so she would never cease to be a human, or so she had read.
As humans living in a world where vampires have had supremacy for millions of years, they tend to have researched these things well, so they have more information than the vampires themselves.
That's why she was confused; she could now feel that her whole being had been transformed into that of a vampire. Her blood no longer ran the same, her powers didn't feel the same. Nothing in her body felt the same, but she still felt extremely familiar with this.
The mixture of feelings left her confused for several minutes until she looked up after feeling connected with someone in front of her.
She stared at Matt for a brief moment and could do nothing but kneel in front of him.
"My Lord." Softly, she spoke naturally.
After feeling that deep and strange connection, kneeling was the most natural thing for her.
When both looked at each other, both had two kinds of thoughts. In her, it was: He is my owner, my creator.
For him, it was: Here is my creation.
Not only that, Matt felt that he could control this woman right now as if she were a puppet. Right now, this woman was like one of his arms, which he could control any way he wanted, making it feel strange.
'With Alice it wasn't the same... Is it because she's not my creation? She was a vampire all along, I just gave her a purer blood... Hm, why does it mean she knelt down to me?' Although Matt was confused, he sighed in the end.
'Nothing to do.' He thought and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Since you keep your memories, what are your thoughts?" he asked, and she remained kneeling.
"To serve you, my lord. I can sense that you, despite the fact that you were my creator, do not want to enslave me and will let me live life as I please. That is why I want to serve you." She answered matter-of-factly.
'So she is instilled with extremely loyal thoughts towards me. Well, if I can control her it makes sense.' He thought and smiled at her.
"That's good, stand up. I don't have anything to tell you right now, but I'd like to hear your story." Matt invited her to get up and sat in a chair near the bed.
She had nothing to say about it; she simply began telling him the story of her life slowly...
After talking for hours into the night, she put on some contact lenses and snuck out of there.
Matt and Alice stayed in the house a while longer and watched her leave.
"Matt, are you sure she's going to be okay? She's... A little innocent. She hasn't had too much teaching to control her power, I think it's going to get out of control at the academy before long and when that happens... She'll die. There's no other way."
Matt smiled at this. "That's right, she's destined to die."
Alice looked at him doubtfully, "Aren't you going to save her? You created her, don't you feel like letting her die would be a bad thing?"
Matt looked back at her. "Save her?" He smiled softly and with disdain at this and turned away to bathe.
"If she's of no use to me, even if I created her, I don't need to save her. She has a mission and that's it." He replied and started walking.
