Draconic Vampire : Curse of the Blood

Chapter 16: Twenty More Glasses



Chapter 16: Twenty More Glasses

Keith focused on his blood qi and calmed his mind. There were a lot of things that needed to be done before he could relax. First of all, the tournament is nine days from now. He was confident enough about his strength if encountered a baron-level vampire, but if they were viscount or higher, it would be a big problem.

He didn’t know how his strength fared against viscount-level vampires, but he was eager to find out. And before the tournament, he wanted to increase his blood core level as much as possible. That will help him stand his ground or even defeat more powerful opponents.

He looked at the time and it was already evening. The sky was dark as the sun was already below the horizon. He got up from his bed and stretched his body. He felt that the blood essence had properly condensed inside his blood core.

Now he wanted to get more vampire blood from the shop. Even though it was expensive he had to get it. He didn’t have any other way to get vampire blood. He opened his vault and took out all the gold-blood coins. This was all of his personal funds. If he wanted more, he would have to access the family vault. He couldn’t use that freely, as he wasn’t the leader yet. He was just nominated as the future leader.

After taking out all the coins in his vault, he changed into a black suit. He jumped out of the window like before and passed through the outer garden. Just like before, he climbed down the cliff. Waking down the curved road, he passed the gate and entered the shop area.

He walked towards the blood shop he visited before. After walking for some time, he reached the end of the road. The shop was around the end. There was a turn that went in the opposite direction. He entered the shop and a bell rang as he opened the metal door.

” Welcome Sir, How may I help you?” A female receptionist approached him as he entered the shop. She was wearing a suit while her hair was neatly tied back into a knot.

” Can I see the manager?” Keith said to the receptionist.

” Well, he is busy attending to some guests..” The receptionist replied.

” Tell him that I need some exotic blood. He will understand.” He tossed her a silver blood coin.

She caught the coin and nodded her head. After some time, the receptionist came back with the manager. After he looked at him, his expression brightened.

” Sir, I didn’t expect to see you so soon. What a lucky day.”

‘Lucky, it is. You will be getting all my money after all.’ Keith sighed in his mind.

” As you can see, I have grown to like your services. I need to taste the exquisite collection of yours.” Keith went straight to the point.

” Yes, of course. You are always welcome to our VIP lounge. We would love to serve you some exotic collections. Follow me.”

The manager led him to the same VIP room that he entered before. The room was even more decorated with various paintings and exotic arts.

” We have renovated this room after you came here. We reserved this room for usage. What do you think?” The manager asked.

” Not bad. I like the new look.”

” Glad you like it.”

” Mhm.”

” So you want the menu or ..”

” Just get me the usual, stage five or above.” Keith sat on the couch.

” Understood. I will send it right away.”

The manager left the room. Keith waited for a couple of minutes and the door opened again. The waitress was holding a tray with two glasses. She paced the glasses on the table and left the room.

‘ Seems like I don’t need to raise my voice again.’

He put his index finger inside the glass without picking it up. The purple tendrils slithered out from the tip and entered the blood.

[ Blood essence absorbed: 1 ]

[ Blood essence absorbed: 1 ]

After he finished the first glass, he got 10 blood essence from it. He repeated this again with the other glass. After that, he looked at his status window.

[ Keith Ennes ]

[ Blood Core: Baron ]

[ Body detected: Vampire ??? Hybrid ]

[ Level 1.042 ]

[ Path: Blood condense ]

Looking at the level, he saw a jump in the level. It was not too big, but it was noticeable. He needed more blood to reach 1.1 level. He calculated how many glasses he could buy with the coins he had. He checked his coins, and it was around two thousand gold blood coins, his entire savings.

‘ I can get the money back, but time can’t be turned back. I need to get stronger, so this is nothing.’

He rang the bell and the waitress entered the room.

” Bring me twenty more glasses.” He ordered without holding back.

The waitress had a stunned look on her face after she heard him. Twenty glasses of vampire blood, that was around two thousand gold blood coins. She had never seen this amount of money in her entire career. It was rare to see someone spend hundred gold blood coins, that was why Keith was treated like a special guest. But for someone to spend two thousand gold blood coins, this was the highest anyone had ever spent on this establishment.

” I will get them for you right away.” She left the room in a hurry.

Now that he has twenty glasses of vampire blood, his level will increase to 1.2 after he absorbs all the blood essence.

He waited for the order to come. It took a little more than fifteen minutes and the waitress returned with two huge trays. Each of them had ten glasses of blood. The waitress put the tray on the table as she was trying to put them one by one, Keith signaled her to stop.

” You can leave now.”

The waitress stopped and turned back, exiting the room without saying anything. From the previous visit, she learned that he didn’t like provocations. So she didn’t want to upset him more.

After the waitress left the room, Keith put his finger inside the glasses one by one.
