章 59: Blood

[Your hunger has been acknowledged]

[Your hunger has grown in accordance with your desire]

[You have unlocked Sub-Quest]

[You have met the requirement to consume blood]

Bernardhad no time, to check these new notification messages, thinking he already knew the content of the system messages, at this moment his mind and body were being stirred by the thought of drinking blood and stealing his victim's symbiote bloodline at the same time.

Soon, without realizing it he began to kneel towards Dave's neck region, with his new unlock attribute perception Bernard could sense which vein was pulsing the most blood in Dave's body. As he bent closer and closer, he started to drool as the saliva that was filling his mouth fell on the ground, those he could swallow he gulped the ones he couldn't left a long trail on the ground.

His nose twitched slightly, as the strong smell of blood coming from Dave's cheek filled his nose.

He looked at the body, this time with so many thoughts and questions in his mind, on one hand, was the fear of the unknown that was building inside of him, while on the second hand were questions he was unsure of and badly needed answers to.

'After stealing his symbiote bloodline would the academy immediately find he was the culprit? Would he automatically become a vampire? Maybe… Just maybe after consuming his blood would he die?

Even though he had these thoughts in his mind, not once did his body stop moving nor did his hands which were moving towards the body.

In the meantime, while Bernard was busy contemplating what to do, what he didn't know was inside an uncompleted building in the area, a pair of beautiful eyes with ash-colored pupils had been staring at him the whole time.

Several minutes ago, when Bernard had just finished defeating Dave she had been a witness, even though she thought the move he had used in defeating him was basically shameless she still thought it was a smart move based on the fact his dumbass wasn't proficient in any form of martial art style.

Nevertheless, it had worked perfectly in achieving his goal most especially when in the process he had tricked the fellow to blast his own dick with a fireball. Yet what she saw later, drove her into a state of shock.

To Sophia, what she saw was horrifyingly as she watched someone suddenly died, bled from his orifices, yet something even unbelievable happened, the moment he died she felt as if something was watching her and her every action. The feeling was so intense, that she began to sweat bullets and stirred in her hiding spot.

The next moment, Sophia was not sure what happened but she only knew she woke and saw herself on the ground drenched in her sweat.

'Is this fear?' She mumbled to herself, this feeling was not new to her however no one in the academy had been able to stir up this feeling in her.

After this incident, she was more inclined to believe an aboriginal had sent their divine sense to watch over Bernard, and she was sure the only people who could do this without being discovered were his parents.

Sophia was not sure if she should continue to watch or not, but there was the feeling of fear that was binding her from taking a step further, and the chance of being discovered by the supposed aboriginals, was something she wasn't willing to risk since she had no confidence to fight one even with her current strength since meeting one meant death.

Although, she couldn't move from her spot and didn't know what had happened during the period of being unconscious and how much time passed. However, out of nowhere, she look her the body on the ground with a look of confusion.

The expressions on his face were unreadable and unpredictable at the same time. She wasn't sure of what to do, while she was confused. Eventually, she realized Bernard was drooling and the look in his eyes was becoming strange and odd. She debated what type of look he had in his eyes but couldn't come to a decision.

'What's he doing?' Sophia wondered to herself, she was completely baffled by his actions.

Bernard heaved a deep sigh, as he gradually regained a composed look in his eyes. He was unable to come to a decision, nor was he able to fathom the consequences of his actions if he did it.

'Would he die? If I eventually stick my teeth into his vein, wouldn't my action lead to severe bleeding from sticking my teeth into his vein, and how much blood do I even need to complete the quest? Shit… I can't do it, what if there is a surveillance camera currently watching me, wouldn't I be toast?' Bernard kept mumbling under his breath like he had gone insane.

'Hmm?' Bernard while he was thinking his nose suddenly twitched and he smelled someone's blood, he could also hear a beating heart. And with perception, he could sense the flow of blood however, this particular heartbeat wasn't coming from Dave's body but someone else.
