Reincarnated As A Mosquito

Chapter 54: Human Blood Consumed

"It's my pleasure to be of help," Ben replied with a smile, trying to mimic the classic, casual style of vampires he had seen in movies. He wasn't particularly skilled in flirting in his previous world, but he hoped to improve in this new world, especially if it yielded the desired results.

"No, I didn't... want to put you through the trouble," the girl stammered, her tone nervous. Her ears burned red, and she felt as though her brain might start releasing steam.

She gazed at Ben intently. His soft, pale skin, dark black hair falling onto his forehead, and those striking crimson-red eyes that shone in the sunlight captivated her. She had never encountered a more handsome man in her lifetime. However, it wasn't just his good looks that drew her in.

It was those crimson-red eyes. They were so deep that she felt like she was falling into them, and her eyelids grew heavy as if she were losing control of her body. The feelings of nervousness and hesitation that had filled her mind only moments ago were now replaced by an overwhelming sense of joy.

[ Influence Skill Used]

[ Influence Skill is successful]

[Look at you, Ben! You're a natural at this!]

Ben couldn't help but smirk inwardly at the system's enthusiastic commentary. He knew he was playing a part, but if it helped him achieve his goals, he was more than willing to continue.

With a subtle, seductive tone, he asked, "Are you all right? You seem a bit shaken. I'm here to help, after all."

"No, I am fine... it's just that I am exhausted," the girl replied in a low tone, her hand lightly touching her head. She felt a strange, tingling sensation in her body, which left her feeling both uncomfortable and strangely captivated as if her actions were no longer entirely under her control.

"Come with me, and we can rest in the shade of those trees over there. It might be the sunlight that's affecting you," Ben suggested in his classic, stereotypical British accent. He had picked up this skill by mimicking a British classmate back in his previous world, never expecting it to come in handy like this.

"Then I would be troubling you for your kindness," the girl responded, swiftly brushing the hair away from her face.

Ben felt a twinge of discomfort, but as the saying goes, anything for survival. Besides, he wasn't doing anything inherently wrong; he just needed a small amount of blood.

Gently, he took her hand and guided her toward the shade of the large tree. This was part of his plan, as the hunting grounds were crowded with people, and the open grassland offered no concealment for his discreet blood collection.

Ben led her to a secluded spot near the large tree where they would be shielded from prying eyes. The blonde-haired girl settled down, audibly panting, sweat beading on her forehead. She remained seated, her eyes fixed on Ben, seemingly anticipating his next move.

"This doesn't feel right..." Ben mused internally, but he propelled himself to action once more.

[Activate the next phase of the influencing, and put her to sleep,]

"Understood," Ben acknowledged, his eyes glowing crimson red as he locked his gaze with the girls. Despite her apparent age of at least twenty, she had succumbed to Ben, who was trapped within the body of a teenager.

"I command you to sleep," Ben directed, his voice taking on a commanding tone as he locked eyes with the girl.

[ Influence skill activated]

With Ben's command, the girl experienced a sudden thump in her chest, as if her body was reacting to the order. A surge of pressure weighed heavily upon her, and though she tried to resist, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she could no longer keep them open.

[ Influence skill successfully used ]

With the final notification confirming the success of the Influence Skill, Ben let out a long, relieving sigh. He stumbled slightly, his legs unsteady from the exertion of using the skill, which was as draining as battling a horde of Rigid Rabbits continuously.

After a brief fit of coughing, Ben regained his composure. Gazing at the fresh source of blood before him, a sense of urgency gripped him. Without hesitation, he knelt beside the girl and focused on her neck, a particular vein catching his attention.

The sweet aroma of blood filled his nostrils, the rhythmic beating of her pulse resonating in his ears. He could discern the flow of blood coursing through her veins. In response, he felt a peculiar sensation in his mouth, his fangs elongating, growing to twice their usual size. Without a moment's delay, he pierced his fangs into her neck, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

As her warm, sweet essence filled his mouth, the girl emitted a soft moan. Ben was unable to resist the rush of warmth, the sensation akin to savoring hot soup beside a crackling campfire after enduring a drenching rain.

[ Human blood consumed]

[ Strength: +1 point ]

[ Exp: +5 exp ]

A series of notifications popped up on the status screen as Ben felt a warm feeling in his stomach, resonating with his whole body, this sensation he never felt before, not even when he consumed Freya's blood or any other blood source from beasts.

[ Human Blood is being consumed ]

[ Blood Essence: 10/100]

[ Hunger Status: Slight ]

Ben pulled out his fangs from her neck, as he breathed heavily, it was a complete and out-of-ordinary experience for him, he didn't know whether to hate or love this feeling.

"It might be due to higher hunger status," Ben thought, recalling the feeling of drinking blood, he looked back at the girl who was asleep and sound, the two fang marks on her neck completely disappeared into nothing.

Ben felt a sorry feeling inside him, he had to use the girl for his purpose, but again there was no other way he could have obtained blood from someone.
