Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"What use would my help have been? It would just make things worse. Don't you see what it does when it gets cornered?"

Remembering Gluttony's last transformation made Alex clench his fist again. He then asked, "If you are our ally, then tell us where it is."

"What do you mean?" Thalia asked with a smile on her face.

"You know what we mean, but please make this clear for me: you are alive since Alucard is the progenitor.

With how much time has passed, how could you still not be able to kill it?" MingYue asked, feeling confused.

Based on what Alex told her, vampires grow stronger the older they are, not to mention Thalia has Alucard's body part. Even without consuming it, she should be able to grow stronger.

Both Alex and MingYue could tell Thalia hadn't consumed it, as their progenitor's blood told them she was just a normal vampire.

"As I said, I am hurt.

Honestly, if not because I am close to Master's essence, I am sure I would already be consumed by gluttony.

As I told you, the enemy we face now is the Aspect of Gluttony. It's only part of it."

"Then where is your master's essence?" Alex asked

"Don't worry, I never planned to consume it for myself. But before I can give you that, you must first start mastering your vampire innate ability.

Even though your transformation is not complete, you should know lifeforce can be used in many more ways than how you do it."

"Since you know Alucard, I am sure you know Vesa too. Don't blame this on us, that Vesa is just too picky; it doesn't teach us anything." Alex replied.

Thalia frowned, hearing this, as Vesa was a loyal companion of her Master.

Vesa was tasked with assisting the heir to the best of its ability to make sure their road was as smooth as possible.

"Can you call Vesa out?" Thalia asked, wanting to confirm something.

"We cannot. Vesa is unconscious after helping us infiltrate your place," MingYue replied as she tried to feel out Vesa's presence.

"I see. We can only find out the answer later. For now, we have no other choice.

I will train both of you to the best of my ability. Of course, if both of you want it.

Also, Sir Alex and Lady MingYue, the bangle you use wouldn't be useful if you use lifeforce like that."

Alex sighed, "It's not like she had a choice at that time. You know how outmatched we were. Otherwise, using qi is enough."

"A Qi, huh? So you are a cultivator, as I expected."

"You know about cultivators?" she asked.

"Of course, they are the elite force of the human race."

"Do you have some knowledge about them then?" MingYue asked, her eyes lighting up.

She wanted to know what the real peak of cultivation was. How far could they go from being immortal?

Unfortunately, Thalia didn't know about it.

"I cannot answer your question, as I was never interested in how other races gain their power. Even trying to master runes and lifeforce is already hard enough for me."

"About that, I saw you manipulate blood before. Is it also part of lifeforce manipulation?" Alex asked.

Hearing this, Thalia could not help but let out a laugh, making Alex and MingYue frown.

"I am sorry. I am not making fun of both of you. It's just controlling blood is basic. Don't tell me Vesa didn't even tell you blood contains lifeforce."

"Vesa did tell us. Vesa said that lifeforce is contained in all living beings."

Thalia gave a nod, "That is true, but the easiest one to control is your own blood.

Honestly, both of you have already broken common sense.

Usually, only vampires at the Eclipsar level can manipulate lifeforce directly like that. So you guys are skipping levels while not knowing any of the basics.

As newborns, they will learn how to manipulate their blood, then feel out lifeforce.

A night keeper means they have complete control over the lifeforce in their body, including bones, flesh, and other parts."

As Thalia said this, she then raised her hand and transformed it.

Her nails grew longer and sharper, and the veins protruded from her skin. In the next moment, she returned to normal.

"A nightkeeper will then start mastering runes. Afterward, to raise to a new level, it's up to them to master the lifeforce energy."

"How about the Eternal level?" MingYue aked

"That is beyond my comprehension. They are the direct subordinates of Master. At that time, I was nothing more than a lowly maid."

"How could you survive then?" Alex asked with suspicion in his eyes.

A fight between progenitors, a maid surviving an encounter with gluttony, a weapon specially created to destroy vampires, and somehow succeeding in getting Alucard's parts in her hand. All of this raised red flags in Alex's mind.

Thalia didn't mind their suspicions. Sadness returned to her eyes as she said, "That is all thanks to Master Alucard. Otherwise, I would not survive.

But I don't want to talk more about it. It's not like you can gain any useful information from that.

I will just tell you this, there is more than one weapon created to destroy us, and I don't know what kind of monstrosities they created after all this time."

"Why don't you try to consume it yourself? I find it hard to believe someone could stay loyal to a dead person all this time," MingYue asked.

Her question made Thalia's eyes turn cold.

"Lady MingYue, never doubt my loyalty to Master Alucard. I don't know how much Vesa told you about our race, but loyalty, code of conduct, and ethics were all important parts of our race in the past.

That is why that betrayal caught everyone off guard. No one ever suspected that to happen."

"So you are saying everyone was completely loyal before that? No betrayal ever happened?"

"Of course, it did, but none ever came from our own race. Only those halflings did it."
