Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 40: Surprise attack



Chapter 40: Surprise attack

"May I know what you're doing?" Matt asked with a frown. Isla and the rest of the group were surprised to see so many comrades appear all over the place and a guy attacking their leader from the front.

"What the hell are you doing? It's us!" they shouted angrily.

That surprised Caspian, who raised his arm to stop them and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Matt. We're a little nervous and thought you were devourers. We just ran into a group and had to run from them because they were so strong." He spoke.

Matt's team members then breathed a sigh of relief that this was the case. They were nervous, thinking these guys might have fallen after a weird spell.

Seeing that it was just a mistake made them sigh in relief.

Matt just frowned, though.

'A mix-up, eh.' Matt thought with a small smile. Clearly, he didn't believe this guy at all, but he still nodded at him and walked over to him to give him a little tap on the shoulder.

"Be careful, man. If the leader is nervous, he'll make the whole team make mistakes. Don't fall into this battle." Matt said and walked past him. At the same time, he called his group to follow closely behind him.

Caspian didn't say anything else; he just gave him a sidelong glance and continued.

"Matt, that guy is a little strange." Isla said a while after they had the encounter with Caspian.

No matter how much she thought about it, it was strange.

How could they possibly have gotten confused? They were wearing their heads up!

It's impossible to mistake Matt's head for a devourer's.

Matt naturally knew that, so he stroked her head like a little girl.

"True, that guy seems to be planning something. But don't worry, it's not important right now. Besides, we have company." Matt said, smiling as he looked up.

Just at those moments, several devourers appeared above them.

These looked a little different.

Matt stared at them.

'The stronger I get, I feel like I can sense more and more of people's power. Just as I can accurately guess the strength of the weak, of these guys who are a bit stronger, I can do it now, too. It's weird; Alice has never told me about that before.' Matt thought with a frown, although he was happy about this.

Thanks to that, he could guess who would be problematic for his group.

This group was a little small. It only had 15 devourers, but they were pretty strong.

One of them had a strength of 3,000 or more.

He focused his gaze on Matt angrily.

"Attack these bastards; let's get our race's treasure back!" he shouted and, without hesitation, launched himself at Matt at an incredible speed.

Matt had to defend himself quickly, as this guy's speed was absurd.

The blow he landed on him knocked him back a dozen steps, startling Matt.

Still, he smiled, and seeing that his whole team was battling, he ran at the Devourer before him.

The clash of fists caused the earth to shake in the surrounding area, yet it was only the first of many.

Matt and the Devourer in front of him threw a barrage of head-on blows at each other. Although most of those punches did not hit, some hit their targets.

Just as the two were battling with fists, the Devourer made a dagger appear quickly in his hand and threw a stab at Matt, trying to take him by surprise.

Matt moved his left arm to deflect the attack, and with his right hand, he summoned the weapon he had to send a decisive blow towards the Devourer's neck.

The Devourer was surprised by Matt's quick response, so he tried to back up to avoid the attack, but that was just what Matt was looking for. All the vampiric power that was gathered in the weapon was transferred to his hand, and a powerful attack came out as if it were a huge ball of vampiric power.

The Devourer was stunned, but it was too late to dodge. The attack hit him squarely in the stomach and sent him dozens of meters backward.

'What did he just do? A vampire doing magic?' thought the Devourer in shock.

But Matt wouldn't give him time to think. He immediately appeared above him and gave him a hard punch in the face, smashing him into the ground hard.

This shook the Devourer's brain and prevented him from thinking.

At the same time, it shook the surroundings with force.

The shock impact between two people with over 3,000 power was no joke.

Although Matt doesn't understand his power accurately, the more he fights against others of equal strength, the more he realizes that 3,000 power is not a low number and that great things can be achieved with that level of power.

'The key is how to use it.' Thought Matt, who had been trying to learn a little about his power level the whole fight.

This time, it was time to put an end to the fight. Therefore, after that powerful blow, Matt pulled out his small sword and thrust it into the Devourer's heart.

"Matt, watch out!" Just as his sword was about to accomplish its task, a scream came behind him.

When Isla noticed something near him, she panicked.

And her carelessness earned her a blow from her rival and sent her rolling dozens of meters.

As soon as he heard the scream, Matt noticed what was happening and bent his body slightly to the right.

Just at that moment, a dagger stabbed firmly into his right arm, and the force of the impact sent him flying backward. Still, he would not be attacked in such a way and would not defend himself.

Just as the dagger hit his right arm, he reached out with his left arm and firmly grabbed the guy attacking him, so when he was sent flying backward, he took him with him, and they both fell rolling on the ground.

Matt quickly recovered and jumped into the air, pouncing on his enemy.

The latter did not expect to be pulled like that, so he was a little slower. Still, he defended himself in time, and the impact sent them both backward.

Still, they recovered quickly. The guy was going to escape, but Matt wouldn't let him easily.

He struggled face-to-face with him.

After several fists, Matt frowned.

'What the hell? Why do I feel like I'm stronger than him, but I can't beat him?' Matt thought in shock and then looked at his arm.

'Poison?' He thought as he saw the green liquid on his arm. This made him frown.

Still, when he looked again, the guy was already fleeing the scene.

Matt would not allow such a thing to happen.

An enemy was going to attack him and leave without knowing his identity? He must be dreaming!

So, he disappeared from his spot, appearing above the guy, and gave him a powerful punch in the back.

Even so, the timing coincided with the increase in speed on the part of the guy in front of him, so he ended up pushing him hard toward his destination.

Soon, the figure that was covered in a black robe that covered him completely disappeared into the trees.

Matt frowned at seeing him like that but had to focus his attention on the Devourer that had risen and was attacking him.

In addition, an intense pain hit him in the arm.

"Isla, let's finish this quickly!" he shouted when he saw this and stopped playing with this guy.

He immediately lunged at him, giving him several powerful blows using all his tactics. The Devourer didn't even know how he died, but an attack of magic hit him again and broke his bones.

Even so, shortly after that, Matt fell to the ground while holding his arm.

He did not hesitate to grab his weapon to cut himself in several areas of his arm and shoulder, causing blood mixed with a green liquid to ooze out of the wounds. At the same time, he swallowed an antidote and some more medicine.

'The poison is weak but a bit special. It makes me weaker as time goes on. And the attacker... Dirty bastard, so what you're looking for is to kill me, Caspian White.' Matt thought with a growing rage inside him.
