Capítulo 32: Reaping The Rewards
Turning himself around, Lucien glanced at Gary. He looked a bit exhausted, but was not injured much. His still had his fighting prowess.
'So another Agility based, I don't have much time, since there are other groups that might intervene if it drags too much.'
'Use the 1000 points from the Rank 0 bandit from last night, and convert another 1000 from the soil, and put it into Agility.'
-Agility increasing-
-Agility: 50.75-
'Ok, now it should be easier.'
"What are you waiting for, you little backstabbing rat?"
"Nobody will come to save your pitiful life, just do your best and die."
"Hehehe, it seems there is still a small obstacle on my way of becoming the ruler of the area."
"Here I come, brat."
Gary rushed out, planning to end this fast, he was already getting a bit exhausted, prolonged fight would do him no good, even if reinforcement came, he could just end like Roy.
'From what I saw before his Agility is around 60-65, shouldn't be too hard to surprise him.'
Gary started his assault, while Lucien was looking like he was in a difficult position, barely defending, after the first scratch, Gary realized he was Strength based and relaxed a bit, even if things went wrong he could probably escape.
Lucien continued accumulating small gashes all over his body, while trying to strike him once.
"Haha, if this is all you got, you are going down."
'I think this is enough.'
[Darkness Interruption]
It was only a momentarily, but the laps of movement was there.
It was that moment that coincidentally, a spear went through the throat of Gary.
"Confident much, huh."
'Phew that went well, nothing fancy, but effective.'
Walking back to the body of Roy, Lucien stood there.
"Still alive?"
"Yup, not for long through. Thanks for the revenge."
"No worries, I still have uses for him. Now."
"My deal for you, hehe."
"I will allow you to live, but at the same time, your life will be mine. How does that sound?"
"I won't want much from you, you can even have the 4 areas, still send the things the Rank 2 requires, but in the shadows you will be mine and when I need you to do something, you won't have much of a choice."
"The current you, will probably cap at peak Rank 1, I will also give you potential to be Rank 3."
"Pretty tempting, no?
"You soul and body, for a rich life?"
"Hahahah, I can't believe it, I will have to side with the one who set me up and if I don't I die."
"It's indeed tempting, if you really have the method then do it."
"If it means giving myself to the devil to progress further, so be it, I'm no saint anyway."
"Heh, I'm starting to like you, enjoy."
Picking him up, Lucien sunk his teeth in his neck.
'Since they put so much importance on bloodline purity it should be related to their potential and where they cap.'
'All Existence, dilute the Vampire Path bloodline to a level where breaking through Rank 3 is the cap and inject it in him.'
-Vampire Path already possesses the ability to inject the bloodline, diluting the bloodline now-
-5 existence points deducted-
-Bloodline dilution finished-
-The one injected with the diluted bloodline will not experience external changes, and will be loyal to host for eternity, unless he breaks away from the bloodline-
-Proceed with injecting-
All of sudden Roy started screaming.
'What is happening All Existence?'
-1 existence points deducted-
-He is experiencing the inner body transformation, the diluted bloodline was made so it doesn't change outside features-
'It's quite a bit more intense than my Vampire Path integration.'
Couple of minutes it finished, and Lucien released his grip on Roy.
Roy, who now had enhanced Vitality by the Rank 0 Vampire Path, had 5 times faster healing. The first cleansing by the mysterious aura of the Vampire Path also stopped the bleeding and almost closed the fatal wound. It would take a week for a complete recovery.
The moment Roy stepped on his feet, he knelt down on one knee, with his fist on his heart and bowed head.
"This one greets you, my noble."
"That is enough, rise."
"Now listen to me. I'll leave the aftermath to you, Here is the location, and I want you to send all the Rank 0 corpses there, I'll also take the Rank 1s, take care of the aftermath."
Opening the map and marking out his makeshift base, he just gave it to him.
"Get the area under control as fast as possible and keep reporting to your Rank 2 supervisor, do as he says, pay him taxes or whatever you pay."
"If you have the chance to expand do it, but be sure you are not wiped by the imperial army, I'll need you in the future."
"And forget about the Fire Path, focus on the Vampire Path I just gave you, you have to drink blood for the blood energy and use these diagrams to get to Rank 1, once you are there, I'll make sure you get the Rank 1 to Rank 2 diagrams."
"I'll also send you a location to send all the spare resources, no need to accumulate them and wait for someone to rob you. The letter will have a mark, that is 2 Crimson Moons, that look like my eyes, another Crimson Moon that will be in the above area between them as a third eye, and in the lower area between them there will be a lone rock floating."
"I also robbed your treasury, just say someone plotted behind the scenes, nobody will care, you got all 4 territories, that is what matters."
"Now go my minion, finish those Rank 0s, leave your subordinates alive, as you will need them."
"As you wish, my noble."
Lucien didn't linger around much longer, he just picked up the Rank 1 corpses as they were the most important ones, even through 1 of them was only half a body, it was still a supple amount of existence points.
During the whole process he was completely garbled in a dark outfit, with only his eyes visible, even through most of the spies were either dragged into the battle or were sending back the news, better save - than sorry.
PENSAMENTOS DOS CRIADORES 
Zebul
Zebul I'm really thrilled these couple of days, be it the amazing increase in ps and rank or the amount of viewers and comments, I only wish the novel could get onto Daily Updates or Trending for one more day at this point. It was a game changer.
Hope you enjoyed.
