Ithania then told the Vampires everything about Mana and Body Cultivation. It was up to them to decide which path they are going to walk on.
"Alright, now the explanation about the cultivation is over, let me talk about something important."
Ithania didn't directly hand them the cultivation technique and started talking.
"I will talk about the History of Vampires,"
Ithania announced before she turned her head towards Lilia and requested.
"Teacher,"
Lilia nodded, she then stepped forward as she glanced at all the vampires and raised her hand.
An unknown force lifted more than 250 vampires 3 meters high in the air. The vampire then felt something strangling their necks. They couldn't breathe!
The vampire panicked, however, no matter what they did, they couldn't open their mouth. They moved their legs repeatedly, trying to resist that choking feeling.
But it bore no fruit.
The unknown force continued to strangle their neck, this was especially true for the 'rebel's' subordinates.
Their eyes had turned red due to suffocation.
Just as the vampires thought that they would die, the force suddenly disappeared and they fell to the ground.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
"Ughhh!"
"It hurts!"
"Ughh…"
The vampires groaned in pain, however, their bodies shivered in fright when Lilia released her boundless killing intent.
"Silence."
She ordered.
All the vampires turned silent.
No one dared to say anything.
This maid was no simple woman.
She was scary…
Is she really a vampire?
How is she so strong?
Let alone them, even Ithania was shocked by all this.
She knew her teacher was strong, and she also that her teacher can defeat all of the vampires easily, however, she had no clue that the process would be so effortless.
She just raised her hand and defeat more than 250 vampires!
This was ridiculous!
"Continue," Lilia ordered.
Ithania came out of her reverie and cleared her throat.
"She's a vampire! How is she so strong!?" Ithania muttered, she then turned towards the vampires and continued.
"I am sure that you all are wondering the same."
The vampires nodded, their bodies were still shivering in fear.
"Let me answer you.
The statement, 'She's a Vampire, how is she so strong!?' is wrong in itself.
She's this strong because she's a vampire."
Ithania revealed and the vampires who were listening to her narrowed their eyes in confusion.
"She's not a Half Vampire like us.
She's a True Vampire.
500 years ago, Vampires were one of the strongest races in Yrniel. We were as strong as the Demons and the Dragons. Humans, the weakest race in the world, were nothing to us.
However, the Vampire King noticed humans, he noticed how the race, which is being suppressed by every other race in the world, is still able to live on.
That gained his interest.
He extended a helping hand toward humans.
He gave them resources, he made them stronger.
However, the humans betrayed us.
They poisoned us and colluded with the other 5 races in Yrniel to get rid of us.
That was how we vampires were defeated.
Betrayed, poisoned, and surrounded by all the races in Yrniel."
Ithania informed and the atmosphere turned solemn.
Let alone vampires, even Lilia was affected by this as her gaze turned solemn and… sad…
"After the defeat of the vampires, the weak vampires were captured, they were turned into slaves.
The Vampires replaced humans as the weakest race in Yrniel.
One of the strongest races is now nothing but slaves.
Tragic right?" Ithania questioned with an expressionless face.
"…"
Nobody answered, however, their hatred for humans and the other races increased even more. Their hearts burned in anger, however, they were just too weak to change anything. They couldn't do anything.
"Why are you telling this to us, Lady Ithania?" Suddenly, one of the vampires questioned.
"Do you want us to get stronger and avenge our race?" Another vampire questioned.
"Heh. Avenge your race? You? Laughable."
Lilia scoffed.
"No. I am not telling you to do anything like that, we are too weak to do something. I am just telling you the potential our race has.
However, after 500 years of suppression, our vampire blood has been diluted, diluted to the point that our potential is ruined.
Although you can still get stronger, the process will be slow." Ithania muttered.
The vampires lowered their heads in disappointment.
"But worry not. I have a way out of this. I can help you all raise your potential without any side effects!"
The vampires' eyes brightened, however, Valerian furrowed his brows and stepped out.
"But Lady Ithania, didn't you say there is no free lunch in this world? How can such a good thing exist?" He questioned.
A small smile appeared on Ithania's face as she glanced at Valerian.
"Yes, there is no free lunch in this world. The process of raising your potential is agonizing and risky. You need to have an extremely strong will to go through that pain.
And to make sure that you all do not overestimate yourself, I will show you the process in front of your eyes."
Ithania announced, she then glanced at Ferox and nodded.
Ferox then walked towards her with a proud look on his face.
"As many of you know, he is Ferox. He is willing to go through the process to help you all understand how painful and beneficial it will be."
Ithania muttered and Ferox's smile widened.
He then glanced at Valerian and Tassia and smirked.
Valerian's and Tassia's faces twitched in irritation.
'Hateful man!'
They both thought inwardly.
Ithania then glanced at Lilia and the latter nodded.
Lilia then waved her hand and a bucket full of blood appeared on the ground.
A fresh aromatic scent assaulted the vampires' noses, their eyes became intoxicated and they started walking towards the bucket like some puppets…
…or so they wanted to, but when they saw Lilia standing before the buckets, they quickly snapped out of their reverie and stood still.
That maid was scary!
They didn't want to be an inch closer to her!
Lilia then waved her hand and 7 drops of blood rose from the bucket and moved towards Ferox.
"Open your mouth" Lilia ordered.
Ferox did as she told and the blood drops entered his mouth.
"Drink."
*Gulp* *Gulp*
Ferox drank it all.
Everyone waited patiently and observed the changes in Ferox.
However, there were no changes, Ferox just stood there, motionless.
1 minute later, there was a change.
Ferox closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. It look like he was going through something painful.
However, the pain was a lot stronger than he imagined.
"AAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!"
He screamed out loud as he fell to his knees.
He then held his head tightly and continued screaming.
However, unlike other vampires, he didn't beg to stop this pain.
30 seconds later, the pain started fading away and he opened his eyes, his eyes, however, were fluttering between red and black colours.
A small smile appeared on his face.
"Lady Ithania… I did i- AAAGHHHHHH!!"
Ferox screamed in agony again.
And this time, he passed out.
"…"
The place turned silent.
The vampires shivered in fear.
This was too painful to even look at, how are they supposed to go through that pain?
"W-What happened to him?" Valerian questioned in worry.
"Don't worry, he's still alive. This is all part of the process." Ithania muttered in a calm tone.
"…"
The vampires turned silent and waited.
For the next 15 minutes, no vampire said anything, they all observed Ferox with nervous looks on their faces.
Then, pungent black blood started coming out of Ferox's skin.
It continued for 30 seconds and once it stopped, Lilia raised her hand. The black blood rose in the air, turned into a ball and was thrown into a dustbin.
1 minute later, Ferox's eyes fluttered.
Soon, he sat up and opened his eyes.
Similar to what happened in the experiments, Ithania noticed that his eyes were now red.
Ferox narrowed his eyes as he clenched his fist and soon, an excited look appeared on his face.
"Lady Ithania! I… I am stronger now!" He exclaimed excitedly.
All that pain he went through g was worth it!
He could feel his new strength!
He was glad that he didn't give up midway.
Not that it would have changed anything even if he gave up.
p
Ithania smiled as she nodded her head.
"You did a good job." She muttered as she patted his shoulders.
She then turned toward the other vampires and stated.
"You already saw how agonizing the pain was. Now is the time to see the reward.
I invite any vampire to step up and fight against Ferox, if you win, you shall receive 10 bowls of human blood every day for the next whole month."
Ithania announced and the vampire's eyes shined with excitement and greed.
Ithania then turned towards Ferox and muttered.
"This will be a good chance to test your new abilities."
"Yes, Lady Ithania. I will not disappoint you." Ferox bowed.
