After going through Mortimer's memories, Illian realised that due to the special bloodline he had, his way of cultivating was different from the others. Instead of hanging upside down in a cave for years, Mortimer would go out, drink the blood of his victims and convert it into fuel for the Devourer's bloodline.
After finishing his prey, Illian had half filled the flask in his mind. This meant that he was a Rank 3 Commoner. Determined to gain power quickly, he hurried off to find more creatures.
It seemed that after drinking the blood of Steel Bisons his skin had become hard like steel.
"This bloodline is awesome."
This meant that if he drank the blood from a god he would gain a portion of the god's power. It also made his cultivation quicker than most others since he did not have to sit around and wait for an epiphany.
He stopped and looked around. After becoming a vampire his senses had increased dramatically, his already great senses from Spirit Honing were doubled. Illian could hear the slightest movements of creatures that were hundreds of meters away without even trying. He looked at a nearby tree before pouncing on it's branch.
He caught a Chameleon, part of the Land Dragon species. It was dangerous as it could camouflage and spit small flames. Illian put it into his mouth whole. After chewing it a few times he swallowed it and sat down. He could feel the blood of the Chameleon, it was like a separate entity, he controlled the Devourer's blood to consume it. The blood mixed and soon the Chameleon's blood became his own.
The soul energy became part of his as well. The flask barely filled up at all, it seemed that the progress had slowed down immensely. Testing out his new abilities, Illian ran off again. His body started to change colour and then he blended into the surroundings. His temperature dropped and he became a slight blur among the trees.
He saw a group of Parrots on the branches above. Illian aimed his Magic Pistol and shot one down, the rest fled into the sky whilst shouting.
"Danger danger!"
He caught the dead parrot and ate it like he did the Chameleon. He rested momentarily whilst converting the blood.
"Hope I become able to fly!" He thought out loud in anticipation.
After consuming it, he realised that he didn't want to grow wings in the first place. It seemed that he had obtained the ability to mimic noises.
"Danger!" He mimicked the parrots.
Illian grinned. He decided to spend the rest of his time filling up the flask to level up.
After a couple of hours he had completely filled it. A second one that was double it's size had appeared. Illian had found another herd of Steel Bison, a Ironscale Snake, a group of monkeys and some Forest Deer.
He had obtained heat vision, his hands became stronger and more flexible and he was able to jump higher than usual. His nails also became tough as bone.
He decided that it was time to go back to the academy as he had been away for a day. Illian summoned Harmony and flew off. It would take the rest of the day to get back, by then, it would be night.
He realised that some creatures wouldn't give him any new abilities even if he bit them. He wasn't sure why but it had something to do with his bloodline.
"When I get back I'll go to the library and memorise the details of every creature around. Then I can choose the useful ones and go hunting."
[Master, something is approaching.]
(Five spirits are coming.)
"It might be the search party."
He looked around and spotted five large bat creatures with people riding on them.
"Hello? Are you here to bring me back?"
The people looked at each other. After looking at them Illian saw three men and two women, all of which had white hair and pale skin.
"Vampires." He muttered to himself.
He allowed himself to be surrounded by the five of them.
"Give us God's will!" The leader shouted.
"What? I don't know what you're talking about!" Illian pretended.
"We know you have it. You killed Mortimer and the werewolf, therefore you must have it!"
They thought that Illian had killed Mortimer even though he had inherited his legacy.
"Wait, you've got this all wrong, I've inherited his legacy!"
"Rubbish! You think he would give it to a human like you?! Prepare to die human!"
Things took a turn for the worst. The five took out bows and arrows and aimed at him. Illian knee he had no choice but to fight. He put on his gauntlet and held his Magic Pistol.
He waited. As soon as they fired their arrows, he jumped over the first one and landed a punch in her abdomen. She hunched over and spat blood.
"Human filth!"
A vampire brandished a long sword and leaped over, slashing downwards in midair. Illian quickly fired into the vampire's chest, causing him to collapse.
The female vampire who he had punched grabbed the arm holding the pistol and bit down. She cried out in pain as her teeth hit the Steel skin which Illian had obtained from the Steel Bison. He flipped out the kopis blade and split her torso from her waist.
"Sorry. You brought this upon yourself though."
He took aim and fired at their leader. He dodged easily whilst firing an arrow, it bounced off his leg. It seemed that the Steel Bison was a great help.
The other two vampires came over, one with a short sword and the other with a broad sword. As they swung their weapons down Illian stepped aside whilst punching the broad sword wielder in the forehead with his gauntlet causing him to die instantly.
Suddenly, the short sword held by the female vampire pierced into his side, even though his skin was tougher than Steel.
"Sh!t, a magic weapon!"
He grabbed the female by her shoulder and head before biting into her neck. She resisted but it was useless, the fangs sunk deeper and she moaned in pain.
After draining her blood, he tossed her aside. A wave of strength surged through his body and the wound in his side regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The magic short sword was pushed out and it fell onto the back of the Giant Bat.
There was only the leader left who's eyes were wide with shock.
"You're a Vampire?!"
"Yes."
"How can it be? You smell like a human!"
Illian didn't bother to answer him. He grabbed the leader and bit down on his neck. He threw the drained body down and then drank the blood of the other vampires.
He then proceeded to kill the Giant Bats, one of them escaped whilst the others hovered there in confusion. Illian then drained the remaining four.
He sat down and began converting the foreign blood. He realised that there was a lot of it, it would take a while to finish them all.
He learned how to echolocate along the way. He didn't gain any abilities from the vampires but they had lots of blood, his second flask was already halfway full.
