Chapter 644: A different perspective. 2

"What truly makes a difference is" Then, the fireball began to rotate horizontally slowly, and little by little, the color of the fireball started to change.

It went from a red-orange to a bluish-orange, then to full blue, and finally, a white flame.

"..." Everyone started to sweat from the unbearable heat in that white fireball.

"Control."

"Bloodlines always have room to develop, especially bloodlines that focus on elemental powers." Slowly the sphere of white fire began to shrink until it completely disappeared.

And as if everyone had come out of the trance, everyone started breathing heavily, like they had completely forgotten to breathe.

The only ones who weren't so affected were the Maids, Ophis, and Nero.

"Giving up halfway through, even knowing bloodlines can evolve, just speaks volumes of you, Adam."

"Ugh" Adam felt an arrow pierce his heart at Victor's words.

"Adam, you weren't born with a lesser version of your mother's lineage. Such a thing is impossible coming from a Progenitor's son."

"Huh?" Adam looked at Victor, confused. "What do you mean?"

"Vlad's blood empowers any bloodline; that's a basic trait of a vampire Progenitor."

"The same applies to me as the Second Progenitor."

'Although this basic trait of mine has been potentiated to the extreme thanks to the set of powers I have. Victor thought vaguely to himself.

"...."

"So the right way to think about it is that your lineage has not been fully explored due to your own lack of work; tell me, how was your training these years?"

"... I learned more to use the racial powers of vampires and my power as support." Adam humbly replied. When he saw that he didn't get his mother's full power, he felt like a failure, so he just focused on the racial aspect of vampires and used his power as a support rather than a primary power.

He even considered 'evolving' his lineage, but he felt it was a wasted effort; he preferred focusing on more 'concrete' options.

"What a foolish thing to do." Victor shook his head in disappointment.

"...." Adam flinched at that comment.

"Your power has the ability to be as destructive as the bloodline powers of the four vampire Count clans. If you are strong enough, creating a d.a.m.n hurricane in the middle of the battlefield is not impossible."

"I can't create wind out of thin air, I can only control it, and even then, I can't control large amounts of wind, so creating a hurricane is impossible." Adam snapped.

"Tsk, that is the mindset that's holding you back."

'How can anyone give up before even trying?' Victor couldn't understand such a concept.

"You must not think that it is impossible, but that it IS possible and that you WILL do it! You lack motivation, Adam!" Victor spoke with a clenched fist towards him as his eyes flashed blood red with a mad smile.

"Ugh, I'm not you. I can't get motivated all of a sudden." Adam growled.

'... Is this man really Vlad and Jeanne's son? He lacks hunger for power, he lacks motivation, he lacks everything! He's just doing the basics and getting by with it. He's completely lost and aimless.' Victor's disappointment was immense.

"Haah, just keep practicing your lineage from now on and get your mother's advice. I'm sure she can help you with many things, and you will progress more steadily with her help."

"But I don't want to bother her."

A vein popped in Victor's head, and he spoke in a heavy tone:

"Just do it."

"... Y-Yes"

Victor looked at Lilith and Elizabeth, "The same goes for you two, especially you, Elizabeth."

"Eh...?" Lilith was surprised that her name was suddenly called.

" Me?" Elizabeth pointed to herself.

"Yes, you're still a young vampire, Elizabeth. If you work now, you won't be as weak as your older sister in the future."

"Ugh." Lilith felt this damage deeply, but she couldn't say anything. After all, it was true.

"... Hmm, I'll go talk to my mother later."

"Good... Now, let's go, Nero and Ophis."

"Yes, Father!" The two shouted at the same time.

Wasting no time, Nero jumped on Victor's shoulder and grabbed him like a baby monkey.

"... Mm..." Ophis looked at Nero with a pout on her face and eyes glowing blood red.

Nero smiled at Ophis as if she were saying, 'I won today.'

The little girl just snorted and grabbed Victor's hand.

"Wait, Victor."

"Hmm?" Victor looked at Tatsuya, and when he saw the gleam of determination and motivation in Tatsuya's eyes, Victor raised his eyebrow in an interested manner.

"What do you want?"

"Can I train with Scathach?"

"What?" Adam, Lilith, and Elizabeth all looked at Tatsuya like he was crazy.

"... That question shouldn't be asked of me."

"I know, but I just want your opinion. Do you think she would accept me?"

"...." Victor was silent for a few seconds as he looked at Tatsuya until he spoke:

"I think she will. You have talent, but that's not the problem; rather Do you have the determination to go through her training?"

"I do." He spoke with determination.

'And those were his famous last words.' Victor thought in amus.e.m.e.nt.

He might seem to be playing with Tatsuya's resolve, but that wasn't it. Even if Victor tried to 'scale' how difficult Scathach's training was like he did in the previous explanation, in the end, he wouldn't really get across the difficulty. It's insane.

Only people who have gone through this training really understand the difficulty.

In video game terms, Scathach training is like an MMORPG player fighting a level 1000 Monster Boss, only being at level 1 with all negative statuses and only regeneration sustaining the character's existence.

When you enter the Boss room, the level 1000 monster will torture you in every possible way so that your stats go up to the point where the monster can teach you something.

'Few endure Scathach's real training, and by Scathach's own words, I was the only one who completed all the training. Even her own daughters still haven't completely finished their training.'

Victor thought of Eleonor, who was also trained by Scathach. 'The case of Eleanor is very similar to Vlad's children, with the only difference being that Eleanor really wanted to train with her, but Scathach wouldn't because Eleanor already had two masters at home ready to train her 'properly'. Because of that, Scathach just focused on building Eleonor's basics.'

The leader of Clan Scarlett's standards were very high, and she didn't accept mediocrity. The reason she put off training her daughters was that they weren't ready for the final part of the training yet; probably only Ruby was ready to finish her training.

The rest of the girls still had a lot to improve.

"You're going to need that motivation when the time comes," Victor said after collecting all his thoughts about this situation.

Victor turned around again, "If Scathach accepts you, and you train with her... Remember your motivation to get stronger, no matter what it is. That determination will take you further than anyone else."

"....." Tatsuya just nodded his head as he absorbed Victor's words.

While still walking with his two daughters, Victor said, "Remember control, it works for all of you girls too But, mainly, Yuki and Kaguya, don't forget that."

"...." The two women opened their eyes wide in realization.

'Did he specifically demonstrate the Snow Clan's lineage because of me...?' Yuki thought, 'He did it for me...'

... She conveniently forgot about Kaguya; Natas.h.i.+a's syndrome is spreading...

'As expected, that's why he did that... He even demonstrated it slowly so we could see each step properly... Master...' A small, imperceptible smile appeared on Kaguya's face.

"Fufufu, Master is very kind, isn't he?" Maria displayed a knowing smile while inside she was thinking about the lesson her master had taught her just now.

'Control, huh Could this be used with the Ghouls?' An evil smile appeared on Maria's face.

"That's obvious; there is no being kinder than him," Bruna spoke for Kaguya as she patted her own chest, causing her full b.r.e.a.s.t.s to swell.

Kaguya just remained silent, committing all the processes she just saw into her memory.

"AHHH! I just realized it was that same light that we saw that day!" Elizabeth screamed suddenly.

"... Was he the one who lit up Nightingale...?" Lilith swallowed hard.

"..." The three siblings felt cold when they realized the level Victor was at. Being able to produce such great power was ridiculous from their perspective.

The Maids just displayed a proud smile when they saw the siblings' scared faces and Tatsuya's incredulous face.

[As expected of our Master. He's the best!] Alter Eve internally screamed.

Eve just nodded in agreement with Alter Eve. Victor was one of the rare occasions that the two agreed on something.

[That demo gave me an idea, we should test our other power, Eve.]

'What are you planning?' Eve asked.

[Perhaps if we use the other power, we can amplify the destructive power of our dark flames.]

'Hmm, it doesn't hurt to try.'

[That's the right thought!]

When Victor left the room, he found Jeanne with her arms crossed and her back against the wall. The blonde had her eyes closed, a gentle smile on her face.

"Oh? Were you listening?"

"Mm." Jeanne nodded, opened her eyes, and her red eyes met Victor's violet ones.

"I hadn't noticed you there."

"Liar. It is impossible to completely hide from someone who is connected to nature." Jeanne laughed and walked elegantly over to Victor.

"Well..." Victor scratched his cheek with a vacant hand. He didn't refute her words because Jeanne was correct.

Thanks to Roxanne, he could feel nature all around him, not to mention that he could also feel people's feelings even if they were not in his field of vision.

That is, it is virtually impossible to catch him off guard, but Victor does not let his guard down. After all, there are beings that can hide in another dimension, like Agares, out there.

"I'm sorry if I-... Huff!?"

When Victor was going to apologize for being too hard on Adam, the woman invaded his personal s.p.a.ce, grabbed him by the collar, and kissed him pa.s.sionately.

Victor woke up from his stupor, took Jeanne's waist with his free hand, and kissed her even harder.

The tongue war only lasted for a few seconds, and soon the blonde pulled away from Victor with a seductive smile on her face as she licked her lips to enjoy the taste of 'Victor'.

"So this is your taste~, the blessings of the G.o.ddesses on your body, and Roxanne left everything very tasty. I loved it..."

'I should have done this much sooner.' Jeanne thought internally.

"..." Victor didn't really know what to comment on that statement, so he just said, "Thanks, I guess?"

"Father..."

"Hmm?" Seeing Ophis's gaze, he understood everything she meant, "Of course, Ophis. Just let me talk to her, okay?"

" Mm." Ophis nodded, but she was clearly displeased, as the little girl looked at Jeanne with a neutral gaze and hugged Victor's leg as if to say, 'Mine.'

"Fufufu~, you will be a great father in the future, Vic~. You handled Adam perfectly yourself."

"Aren't you upset by what I said?"

"No, Adam needed that." A melancholy expression appeared on Jeanne's face, "It pains me to admit it, but thanks to my condition, I really couldn't be around him as much as I'd like..."

"Not to mention that due to Vlad's 'greatness' as a king and Progenitor, his children would always seek his approval." Jeanne looked at Ophis with a kind expression. She could see that this was not Ophis' condition anymore; she didn't need attention because she already had Victor, not to mention that Vlad had improved a lot compared to the past. The Prime Progenitor always was more considerate of Ophis due to Otsuki Hana, Ophis' mother.

"My son was no different from his brothers, he always sought his father's approval, but you know how Vlad is."

"Yes, I know..." Victor sighed. He still couldn't understand how someone so old could be so clumsy at something he considers 'simple.'

"Because of that, I'm glad you had this conversation with Adam since the opinion of someone like you is pretty important, considering that you're the only vampire in our society who can be 'equal' to Vlad." Jeanne chuckled as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"And you are technically his father, even though he is 500 years older than you."

"No, he isn't." Ophis quickly denied it.

"He's My Father."

"Don't forget about me, little sister."

"..." Ophis nodded her head with a blank expression.

Victor and Jeanne had gentle expressions,

"What Adam needs is not a father but someone to guide him. He is lost and aimless, and even his own desire to get 'stronger' is not concrete. He will never find strength like that."

"A goal, a motivation is necessary; only with these factors, determination, and obstinacy is strength born," Victor said.

"Hmm, I never thought about it that way Perhaps, you are correct." Jeanne spoke as she thought about it.

Victor's gaze went to Jeanne. The woman was wearing black leggings, black boots, and a simple white blouse that left her navel showing; she was dressed very modernly.

"You look beautiful, Jeanne."

Jeanne opened her eyes wide at the sudden compliment, she felt her heart flutter as if she was having a heart attack, but she wasn't going to act like a little girl just for that! She's not that weak!

Jeanne quickly managed to control herself and a.s.sumed a satisfied, playful smile:

"... Oh? Are you looking at me? What a surprise. Normally, you ignore me and just look at your wives."

"I'm always looking, Jeanne; I just keep silent and keep my opinions to myself."

"Don't you know women like compliments?"

"Compliments are good, but too much praise is just exhausting for women who are beautiful, and know they are beautiful, complimenting at important moments is key." Victor laughed.

"Spoken like a true playboy, fufufu~."

"Playboy? How rude. I was never a playboy; I was always faithful. Besides, women used to look down on me." Victor snorted

"..." Jeanne rolled her eyes, "Who is the stupid woman who will ignore a man as beautiful as you and one who cares so much about his family? You really don't understand how precious you are to the women of the supernatural world, huh. Most men, with your level of power, are more concerned with how much more power they will gain or their own 'kingdom'. They completely ignore what they have."

"... Well, it's good that you're with me now, right~?" Victor pulled Jeanne.

"Oh-... Huff?"

Just as Jeanne suddenly kissed Victor, he did the same.

"That way, you won't need to worry about things like that~." He said between kisses.

"Jerk, you don't do that kind of thing all of a sudden~." She responded between kisses.

Victor just laughed, but when he noticed that Jeanne's l.u.s.t and desire started to grow, he bit Jeanne's tongue lightly.

"Ugh, what is this? Why did you bite me!"

"Remember where you are now.."

Jeanne looked at Ophis and Nero, who were staring at her with murderous looks on their faces, "... Oh."

'I can't believe I almost lost it in front of the kids!' Jeanne screamed internally, a small blush appearing on her cheeks.

Victor was delighted with the embarra.s.sed expression of the woman who was older than many civilizations out there, so he added in a gentle tone:

"I have to go. I am counting on you to keep everything in order."

"Mm, have a safe trip. On the way here, I saw Natalia waiting for you at the entrance to the mansion."

"Thanks, Jeanne."

"You Welcome, Vic."

Victor turned and left with Ophis and Nero in tow. Jeanne continued to stare at his back, but before he had gone very far, Victor's amused voice was heard.

"Be careful of the demon that hides in the pillar."

"Demon?" Jeanne turned her head in confusion until realization hit her, and she quickly looked towards a pillar of the mansion. She threw an 'energy' in that direction and found something.

"Morgana..."

Slowly, Morgana's appearance started to become visible, it was as if she was invisible, but in reality, it was all just an illusion.

"Morgana You can use Illusions now!"

"Yes, but it's still not as strong as when I was a full demon. At least it's better than it was before But putting that aside for now."

A dark pressure fell on their location:

"b.i.t.c.hyou did it, didn't you?" Morgana's distorted voice mixed with the horns, wings, and tail and the black sclera eyes glowing blood red caused a frightening image.

Jeanne stammered a little, "M-Morgana, listen to me."

"You did it!"

A vein pops in Jeanne's head, "You were taking too long! I have needs too, you know!?"

"Traitor! h.o.r.n.y, b.i.t.c.h!"

"Said the excited Succubus!"

"Oh, don't hurt yourselves too much, girls." Victor's voice resounded through the room.

"Okay." The two responded at the same time and soon returned to their 'fight'.
