Yet another mory, huh?
I woke up and rubbed my drowsy eyes with a little bit of vigour. Ever since the day I turned into a Vampire, I had been dreaming about my past. And not just any past, the mories I shared with Irina and Lilith. Most of the ti, I would see snippets of how our relationship blossod and the pleasant monts where we bonded alone.
I had to admit, those days did seem rather peaceful. Although I don’t know how we’d t in the first place, from the mories that I saw, I could tell that we were in a loving relationship far before the Outer Demon attacked us.
At the sa ti, I was frustrated. My soul was still sealed, and most of my mories with the girls were still locked away. And apparently, there were two others that were with fifteen years ago.
I felt like a piece of shit since I couldn’t even rember their nas. Oddly enough, ever since I’d t Irina and Lilith, the connections with the mysterious girls only seed to strengthen. While I couldn’t pinpoint where they were, I started to feel random emotions, albeit small ones, coming from an unknown source.
If I were to guess, I likely shared an unbreakable bond with all four of the girls. After all, they did sacrifice a quarter of their souls to keep alive.
I wanted to et them… I wanted to rember the misty parts of my mory… And I wanted to beco whole again…
But that’s for another ti… The most pressing thing I had to worry about was the duel that would occur three weeks from now.
As I yawned, I looked to the side of my bed only to see my beloved sleeping beauty happily snoozing away without a care in the world. Contrary to my half-naked self, Lilith was still donned in her conservative pyjamas, don’t get it twisted. Unlike Irina, it seed that Lilith didn’t have the sa social intelligence as most girls her age. She knew about love, but the things that lovers did… Well, I would say she’s purer than a virgin.
However, I too, didn’t want to cross the final border with her yet. While I would drink her blood every night and occasionally sneak a few cuddles here and there, I won’t force myself on her.
Why?-.
Because I needed that extra motivation.
To improve myself at a faster rate to match the monster that was Sirius Moonreaver, I needed to train doubly as hard. No, I had to go beyond the speed of light and train harder than I’d ever done before. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to breathe the sa air as the man. And to do just that, I needed to place a shackle on myself.
If I tasted Liltih’s sweet nectar, I was certain that I would indulge in her for days. Perhaps, I might even spend the entire month on the bed, never to see the sunlight or lift a single dumbbell.
Furthermore, if I restrained myself and treated Lilith as a reward that I would get for defeating the strongest Moonreaver, I was definitely going to train twice as hard. Fortunately, the girl was ignorant of my ntal state and was more than happy with the little skinship that we had. Co to think of it, I was lucky that Irina was in secluded training. If she were around, I might not be able to train as effectively as I did.
“Lilith… Lilith… I’m going to wash up and head to the training room, alright?”
“Huehuehue… Not there, Jin… What if Lisa walks in?”
Haha, what kind of dream was she having? Well, it doesn’t matter. I gently kissed her forehead and imdiately got dressed. Lilith’s place was massive, and the walk to her training facility was at least thirty minutes. Fortunately, soone in the room was a master of Spaceti.
I found the coordinates of the simulation chambers and teleported over just like I normally did. And funnily enough, the first person that I saw was precisely the woman that Lilith was dreaming about.
“A-Ah! Master Jin! You shouldn’t scare like that!”
“Sorry, it wasn’t intentional.”
“Tsk, no matter how many tis I see it, Spaceti magic sure is convenient, huh? I wasn’t even able to sense your magic!”
My teleportation was vastly different from the instant movent that the Vampires of the Moonreaver House used. Accordingly to Lilith, my teleportation was practically instantaneous, while the Moonreaver House’s teleportation had a few milliseconds of delay. And it made sense, given how they were weaving through the dinsions while I was directly manipulating Spaceti.
There was a slight ti delay in their teleportation but make no mistake, in a battle where creatures moved at the speed of sound, those few milliseconds were key. Alas, even if my teleportation was much faster than theirs, I’m sure that Sirius’ reaction speed could deal with .
“Would you mind booting up the system for ? I would like to practice.”
“Again?! But you just left for bed with the Young Miss six hours ago!”
“No problem,” I smiled back confidently. “I had a good four hours of sleep. That’s more than enough.”
“… You’re really sothing else, Master Jin.”
I shook my head and ignored the stunned maid. Apparently, most Vampires didn’t train this hard. After all, they were effectively immortal and were blessed with magic. Did a Lion need to sharpen his claws daily if he was already the apex predator? That was the ntally of most undying Vampires.
It was even common to see True Vampires hibernate for centuries at a ti, never mind sleep a re four hours. Even the most studious of Vampires got their eight hours of sleep, and if they weren’t in the Nightmare realm, they would likely sleep through every hour that the Sun was up.
But since I was once human, I didn’t have that ntality. Heck, I felt like there weren’t enough hours in the day to train! Alas, I didn’t have a hyperbolic ti chamber that turned a thousand years into one like in the novels.
Wait a second… I had the ability to manipulate Spaceti and Creation… Doesn’t that an?!
I instantly hopped into the simulation chamber and imdiately got to testing. Firstly, I summoned out my Soul Armant, the five chained rings. The ring on my thumb glowed first in the vibrant rainbow hue I’ve beco accustod to. The light miraculously turned into a simple capsule that I’d envisioned, one that seed highly reminiscent of a tiny spacecraft.
Next is the hard part. I focused all of my magic power into my middle ring, channelling all my attention to manipulating Spaceti. The hyperbolic ti chamber was capable of slowing down ti over a thousand tis so that a thousand years would pass in a year. And in real life, it was theoretically possible as well, given how ti works on different planets.
If I could do that, the re month I had to train could be extended to a thousand months! That would give more than enough ti to smash that arrogant Sirius Moonreaver.
But as I tried to ss with ti, it seed like ti wanted to ss with .
The more I attempted to control the flow of ti, the more I realised how pitifully little I understood it. It felt like a linear stream, like a river that constantly flowed. But at the sa ti, I felt like it wasn’t that simple. As if ti wasn’t just a straight line. It felt like it could branch in different ways; it could beco a lemniscate, an upward flow resisting the linear path we were on.
Now that I could ‘see’ ti plain in the face, it felt so confusing…
And the requisite condition for to use my Vampire Aspect was that I understood how sothing worked. For instance, if I didn’t know the compounds for water, I would be completely unable to create it. The sa went with ti. The things that I thought I knew about it were completely off.
Hah… Now, that’s a dead-end…
Learning how ti worked wasn’t a one-day journey. If I didn’t have a guillotine hanging over my head, I might have delved into the experints. Alas, I didn’t have that luxury yet. With a heavy heart, I could only postpone my desire to create a hyperbolic ti chamber.
At a loss, I decided to practise the things that I already knew. I started testing the limits of my Space manipulation, first by creating the biggest piece of tal I could. At the mont, my Creation magic is limited by the amount of magic power I could supply and so I couldn’t create anything outrageous like a mountain range or an entire ocean.
The sa could be said about my Space manipulation. At the mont, my magic power was quite finite, which was expected of a two-month-old Vampire. And that was my biggest weakness.
This ans that I wouldn’t be able to stand toe-to-toe with Lilith’s brother anyti soon.
“Let’s try this then…”
It was a long shot, but I decided to attempt the secret move I had planned. Closing my eyes, I focused solely on the Spaceti ring and gathered magic power like never before. It didn’t take long for the strain of the activity to hit my soul. I felt like the weight of the entire planet was resting on my body, forcing heavy beads of perspiration to fall. With gritted teeth, I endured the pressure and focused solely on the spell that I’d conjured up.
It looked like my body was spasming out of control to the outside eye. One second my face would be looking up, while the next, it would teleport to another direction. And after a few minutes of seizures, I dropped to the floor, as my body was entirely drenched with sweat.
“Hah… I barely managed to stop ti for one nanosecond… Would that be enough to stop Sirius?” I thought out loud.
The spell was complete, no doubt, but I wasn’t sure it was enough to challenge the mighty Sirius Moonreaver.
Stopping ti.
I’d first conceived of this spell when I’d learnt that I could manipulate Spaceti. According to the laws of physics, reversing ti was virtually impossible. Even with my magic, the best I could do was accelerate or slow it down. Of course, doing such a thing would require an absurd amount of magic power, sothing I just didn’t have yet.
And so, I attempted to stop ti just for the imdiate space surrounding . Well, stopping ti was a stretch. I slowed it down so much that it felt like space was suspended in ti.
However, just slowing ti for an area that was one cubic tre around instantly drained all of my magic power. Not to ntion, my limit right now was barely one nanosecond.
All I needed to do in the duel was land a single hit on Sirius. If I could slow ti down for just ONE SECOND, I would win imdiately. But this trick could only work one ti. If I failed to end the duel within that short ti I had, Sirius would make the proper adjustnts and would never be caught in it again.
So the spell had to be perfect.
“Hah… Hah… Let’s wait for my magic power to recover and try again.”
That was the problem with such broken spells. It consud far too much magic power for anyone to properly utilise in battle. Still, it was the best move I had. I closed my eyes and went into a ditative state. But then…
“Hmmm?”
I abruptly opened my eyes. Being soone that had the power to manipulate Spaceti, I was highly sensitive to the changes within the fabric. And at that mont, a slight ripple could be felt within the Moonreaver Dinsion.
It was very small, akin to throwing a pebble into a large lake, but I could feel it as if it were right next to . This was the first ti I’d felt sothing like this ever since I’d entered the stable Moonreaver Dinsion. And judging by the lack of awareness from the other Moonreaver mbers, it seems like sothing weird is going on.
“Hmmm… Since I have ti, let’s go and investigate!”
