Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

The sound of the explosion reverberated so loudly that it reached the nearby mountains, alerting many of the academy's powerful people. It was even felt in the distant academy, alerting the directors.

But those causing this powerful explosion, did not seem to want to stop.

As soon as the explosion passed, Liam Wagner's look of surprise intensified. He was already surprised that Matthew could match him in power despite being weaker.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

While it was true that Liam was not using his Vampire Mark, he had over 90,000 power. It shouldn't be possible for Matthew, it's 77,000, to match him. But reality had hit him. Matthew could match him in power, though not quite, for if Liam mixed his ability with his power, he could win.

Or so he thought.

But. 'That was magic? Impossible, a vampire using magic?' Confused, he didn't realize that Matthew had attacked him with ferocity, striking his face with a powerful magical attack. This sent him flying dozens of meters backward to give Matthew a breather.

Floating around him were a number of stars surrounded by fists of fireballs. Matt focused his gaze on those stars and increased the power of an invisible grip he was exerting, causing the stars to explode.

Matt's eyes shone with happiness. 'I did it.' Matt thought, smiling. He had achieved a breakthrough.

He'd made it to the Early Understanding of the Path of Control!

It was so amazing, and he was so happy that, for a moment, he forgot he was battling a powerful person.

Liam took advantage of Matt's moment of carelessness to jump on him. His speed was absurd that made no sense. He arrived almost instantly in front of Matthew and delivered a tremendous blow to his shoulder.

Matthew managed to defend himself right at the end, but his body still shot out and slammed into a huge tree trunk far away.

'Tsk, so that's his ability. It's an ability that increases in power as time goes on. I guess it's the stars that give it more power.' Matthew stepped out of the hole he had made in the tree and looked at his shoulder. It was a little punctured, and that attack had gone to the bone.

He looked up the moment Liam arrived in front of him. "Fight more, Matthew Dietrich!" with a loud shout, Liam swung his spear horizontally, breaking the air.

Matthew frowned but did not move. Instead, he focused his gaze on the attack coming from the front.

The spear was moving at an astonishing speed, but to his gaze, it was a very perceptible speed, so he was able to track the exact place where it was going to hit and the force of that blow. 'What a troublesome guy.' Suddenly, Matt's eyes flashed with ferocity and he swung his sword towards where that attack was coming from, with the same force it had.

That caused a deafening sound to come from the clash of the two weapons, which was different than expected. Matt didn't go flying; he had managed to cancel out much of his attack power, and the other part hit him internally, as it had happened before.

Still, this was his plan. Once he managed to parry that attack, the fierce brilliance in his eyes turned bright for a brief moment, and four consecutive blows struck Liam.

"Buagh!" a large spurt of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body flew backward, leaving him stunned.

He hadn't been able to see what had happened with his attack before, but this time, he understood.

'It's much stronger than I thought.' Liam was out of breath, trying to compose himself, when a fist engulfed in fire appeared in front of his face. He couldn't avoid the blow that slammed him to the ground, opening a hole in his body.

Even so, Matthew, who was attacking him, had to protect himself at that moment when he felt a powerful attack coming from the front. The tip of the spear attacking him pushed him backward, and all the stars surrounding Liam's body stuck to his body, drastically increasing his weight as he fell to the ground.

'This guy's a fast learner.' Matt looked at how stuck the stars were orbiting his body and realized that Liam had learned from his earlier mistake. If he put the stars away from his body, Matthew could explode them with magic, but if he put them too close to him, would he harm himself to explode them?

'That's a neat trick.' Matt smiled.

It's not like he couldn't defend himself.

If he couldn't explode them with fire, he could still freeze them. His ice is a specialist in freezing things, after all.

Still, this time, he didn't want to rely on his ice because he knew this guy didn't want to kill him. He wanted to train more, so he looked up to see the moment Liam Wagner stood up.

He put a hand to his face. "Tsk, you bastard, your fist is too hard." He said. His nose was dripping blood, and some of his teeth had been slightly removed. He also had a very red face, as the fire magic enveloping Matt's hand had managed to burn him a bit.

"I never thought you could use magic, Matthew Dietrich. Certainly, you are someone fierce and overly talented. Although I don't understand how you can use magic, I admire you." Liam smiled as he started walking towards Matt. "But it looks like you can't break free this time."

"I have many ways to break free. You can test me. While I don't think I can beat you in a fight, I'm pretty sure you can't beat me either." Matt replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

Liam's eyes flashed at that moment, and he jumped once more at full speed towards Matt. "Let me test you then!" he growled. He didn't look angry. In fact, he was quite happy. It had been a long time since he had been hurt like this, and this guy was even weaker than him, thrilling him even more.

His attack was fierce and he carried tremendous strength in his spear. He reached Matthew's side in a moment.

Matt stared at him and after having drawn the line of attack, he grinned...

*BOOOOM*
