Question: Who is the source of the vampires in this world?
Cain? Dracula? Lilith?
The answer is: neither!
The source of this world's vampire power originates from the so-called Atlantis. Before Atlantis sank into the sea, a wizard named Varna borrowed a dark magic from the Dark Book and transformed himself into another dark creature: a vampire.
The so-called ancestor of the blood clan, Dracula, is a second-generation vampire who received the energy of Varna.
This is the history of the origin of the blood clan that Luke learned from the old blood clan member.
Of course, Luke had no desire to delve into the history of the vampires. He was merely interested in the Dark Book the old vampire had mentioned. In his memory, this Dark Book, which had created numerous dark creatures, corresponded to the Book of Vishanti, the so-called Book of White Magic, wielded by the Supreme Mage. Its master was the god of the underworld, Sithon.
The dark creatures created using the [Dark Book], or those who have read the Dark Book, will more or less establish a connection with Xithorn and can borrow the power of its dimension to a limited extent.
Luke is very interested in this method of borrowing dimensional power!
As for being influenced and changed by dimensional forces?
Luke, who possessed the innate ability to transform and filter energy, was not afraid. He had already conducted numerous experiments using old vampires, and he was not affected by these energies.
The old vampire initially resisted, but he simply couldn't endure the torment of the Holy Light. If he knew the Holy Light was transformed from his own dark energy, he would likely remain completely silent. But he didn't know, so whenever he faced the Holy Light, he could only use his dark power to resist, to alleviate some of the pain he endured.
After a few times, the old vampire had completely lost his resistance and told Luke everything he wanted to know, or what he thought Luke wanted to know, without Luke even asking.
For example, the person who had asked him to control Luke was Ophelia Sarkissian, nicknamed Lady Viper. Like him, she was a follower of the underworld god Sithon. The bargaining chip for his intervention was a highly concentrated crystal of dark power. Another example was the vast amount of vampire magic knowledge, as well as the few ancient dark magics that had been passed down, edited and revised countless times.
In the end, he even revealed the place where he buried his wealth.
Luke was pleased with the old vampire's honesty and intensified the experiment.
In just a few days, the old vampire had gone from being initially cold and hard to being soft, then becoming frank, finally expressing a willingness to cooperate, and finally shouting that he was ready to surrender! He was even willing to bring his own vampire force with him! Then, under Luke's frequent experiments, the old vampire, unable to bear it, began to refuse to cooperate, cursing and swearing.
Then, realizing that his curse and dark power had no effect on Luke, he finally collapsed completely and became weak again. His words gradually evolved from requests to pleas, and finally from pleas to prayers.
Luke remained unmoved and continued to carry out his experiments with great pleasure.
Although less than half a month had passed since he was captured, the old vampire felt that the time he had experienced these days was longer than his own long life. His head was already a little groggy from all the experiments Luke had done. Every time he saw Luke coming towards him with a smile, he used to have the energy to say "you devil", but now, he was simply silenced.
Anyway, surrender, resistance, cursing, abuse and threats are all useless.
The only thing left, of course, is to cooperate and sell people!
The old vampire didn't dare harbor hatred towards Luke now, but he felt a deep hatred for Ophelia Sarkissian, who had asked him to capture Luke. He even hated Ophelia Sarkissian, and now his hatred had become a kind of faith that allowed him to survive the experiment! If she hadn't invited him, if she hadn't given him false information, then all the torture and sins he had endured these days could have been avoided!
So now the conversation between the old vampire and Luke has changed from pleading, surrender, etc. to a crazy competition of dragging people into the water.
How insidious is that Ophelia Sarkisian? If you don't find a way to deal with her first, she will cause you a lot of trouble.
That Ophelia Sarkissian has a huge influence in the underground world. If you can kill her and take over her power, you will become one of the most powerful people in the underground world and even in the world.
That Ophelia Sarkisian is highly valued by Xithorn, so she can borrow more of Xithorn's power.
If you need vampires for your experiments, I'd be happy to recommend some of my old friends! I know where they sleep, their families, and their weaknesses.
Seeing the old bat staring at him with those cloudy eyes, filled with intense anticipation, Luke couldn't help but reflect, wondering if he'd really been going too far these days. Then, at the old vampire's disappointed gaze, he shook his head and resumed his experiment. His experiment had reached a critical point.
Previously, without a test subject, the experiments on how to create the dimensional energy conversion device were not particularly smooth. After all, without even a reference object, they relied entirely on guesswork, and progress was naturally slow. But now, with the cooperation of such an excellent test subject as the old vampire, who could be repeatedly tested and had strong vitality, the research progress on the energy conversion device could not be said to be rapid, but it was still rapid.
Even Luke has now been able to successfully manufacture relatively satisfactory devices and keep their size within the appropriate range, but some improvements are still needed in terms of power and cost.
Of course, he had indeed used the old vampire as a transit point these past few days, drawing a bit of the power of the Sithon dimension. Luke assured him it was truly just a tiny bit! A mere insignificant amount! The consequence of that experiment was that the old vampire was on the verge of death, cycling back and forth between energy expansion and draining away. His body was riddled with holes from the vast dark energy, then rapidly drained, transforming into another high-density energy crystal.
If the old vampire's self-healing ability hadn't been so strong, and Luke hadn't tortured him with the opposing holy light, he might have died under the dark energy he embraced. The old vampire, who had escaped death after being rescued by Luke with all his might, hadn't had time to feel grateful before he heard Luke's devilish words.
"It would be a shame to blow up such an excellent experimental subject before the research is completed."
