Vampire Prince Trapped Into a Hunter

Chapter 22 – DUNGEON HIDDEN bag. 2

I succeeded in making Arno one of my familiars through blood bonding skills.

I can feel how some of Arno's power has gotten into me.

The warning! The warning! Full skill slot!

Do you want to discard your new skill or do you want to replace one of your old skills with a new skill?

However, a System notification suddenly appeared.

This is the first time I've ever known that there is such a thing.

It is clear what I will choose.

“Load stealth skills.”

Since long ago, I didn't like that skill at all.

It was a cowardly skill that told you to fight by hiding behind.

I don't like that kind of fighting style.

For me who is a brave man, fighting bravely is the best.

Well, even though my current ability is limited to throwing knives or fending off and slashing opponents with clumsiness the rest rely on Anto to cover my gap.

But it was clearly a fighting style that still had more self-esteem than a stealth-like skill like the giant living armor did before.

However, if it had to do with the System, everything would definitely not have gone according to my will.

Skill ‘bloodbond’ and ‘stealth’ as basic default cannot be discarded by player.

“Why?”

The System notification instantly made me pangling.

I understand that ‘ikatan blood’ since then is my original skill that makes me able to absorb other skills from living things that I call their essence or I make familiar.

But why is the ‘stealth’ skill also included in it?

That wasn't the skill I snatched from the original Viar when I made it my familiar?

For a moment I even thought ill that I was no longer Laviar, but Viar who had managed to absorb my essence and reverse the blood-bonding effect and made it his.

No, it must also be wrong since then, the blood binding skill will no longer be my basic innate skill.

So, does our body fuse or something?

I don't know anymore.

Besides, it's not time for me to think about it since if I don't move fast, Arno won't survive.

“So, is there any other option but to discard one of the existing skills?”

I chose to ask the System the question first.

You can use contribution points to buy skill slots.

The price of the fifth skill slot is 32 contribution points.

I've guessed this cunning system is always trying to hide information that's important to me.

He would never have revealed it if I hadn't asked him myself.

Fortunately, my brain kept running to think about the opportunity.

“Use 32 contribution points to buy fifth skill slot.”

I can't throw away the two skills I can throw away since the ‘cut’ skill is my only mainstay skill for fighting, while the ‘detection’ skill is crucial to its existence to prevent any impromptu attacks.

Thank goodness for the past three years, I have not been so happy.

I've pretty much accumulated contribution points through the strange System missions.

Contribution points: 119 --> 87

A total of 32 contribution points were successfully used to add a fifth slot to your skill.

[blood binding], [stealth], [cut], [detection] [ ]

Do you want to add the Stztztztst skill you obtained from Arnoria Rosechild to your blank skill slot?

What did that cunning system just say?

Suddenly there was a wind effect on his voice in an important part.

Well, whatever it is up to.

At most it must be part of the system's other obsolescence.

What was clear was that my goal from the beginning was to acquire the Arno skill to save us from this dangerous situation.

“Ya, please add.”

Skill ‘star aura’ successfully added on empty slot.

[blood binding], [stealth], [cut], [detection] [star aura]

Now you have five skills that you can use.

What else did the damn system just say?

But once I got to the System board, apparently I didn't hear wrong.

It really is a skill called ‘star aura’.

I tried to think positively considering with this skill Arno became very good at sword so surely the name of this skill is only tacky, but not in effect.

However, even my hope was betrayed when I read the description of his skill.

Skill name: star aura

Effect: accelerate the growth of popularity points by making others easily like the player in question, and the higher the popularity points of a player who has this skill, it will give a strengthening effect on the basic skills of the player

I know that it is not a bad skill that has the effect of accelerating the growth of popularity points by making others like you easily.

I know that it must be good for me that will make it easier for me to quickly complete a XXX level mission, a mission to become a top class hunter in the human world.

I know that, but that's not what I need now!

All I need now is a fighting skill that can save us both in this precarious situation!

This was indeed a good skill for Arno who had many friends.

But look at my current popularity points.

Popularity: 1

For three years I tried to increase it, at least the value broke from the egg.

It was also because Arno sincerely accepted me as his friend.

How could an isolated figure in the human world like me be great by utilizing that skill.

But now it seems too late to find another way.

The monster had broken through Anto's shadowy labyrinth and found us.

If I don't do something, then neither I nor Arno will die in this place.

I just have to move forward relying on everything I have.

The star aura skill was able to increase the basic skill for players who possessed it.

I've learned to sword in SMUT so that at least I have his skills even though a little that can not be compared with Arno.

However, that star aura skill will be able to improve it at least better than the basic skill I have.

I don't know how far that 1 point of popularity will help me, but it's still better than nothing.

Anyway, I can support him by adding my cut skill to the sharpness of the sword.

Armed with that confidence, I also advanced against the giant monster living armor.

I borrowed the Arno family's sword to make my weapon.

And the result,

-trange.

-puak.

“Aaakkkh.”

Turns out it didn't pay off.

I remain weak.

I was bounced off easily by a single swipe of the monster's hand.

But then, a wind passed me.

No, it's Arno.

He's been conscious.

With one of my short swords in his hand that seemed to fall in my pants pocket without me noticing, he easily slashed the monster in half.

I can only gape agape to see it.

Even with the worn out sword of low stability, it would instantly become a deadly weapon if in Arno's hands.

Fake ones are nothing compared to real ones.

This is the true elegance of the ‘star aura’ skill from Arnoria Rosechild.

Arno really isn't my match.

He was truly someone who would become a great hunter in the future.

I had momentarily forgotten about one of the effects of the blood binding skill because I had not used it on humans who had slow wound recovery abilities.

But the skill could indeed restore the familiar state to one hundred percent fully recovered after the blood ties were successfully established.

That is why now Arno has completely recovered one hundred percent.

If you ask if Arno will be a vampire like me?

The answer is no.

Besides it takes a noble vampire to do so, in order to turn another race into a vampire, it takes the lustful desire of the noble vampire in question.

I did not join my courage when sucking Arno's blood because from the beginning my goal was only to establish a blood bond with him, after all it was normal to do only between different genders.

Sometimes there are mutations that can occur that we also do not know the cause if one of our blood descendants sucks blood from the origin of the race that can create a wild vampire.

Even wild vampires who bite more people of their race will create more and more wild vampires.

That is why it is already our duty as noble vampires if any wild vampires are formed to exterminate them.

Even my father made a policy when Sunda Castle still stood to limit the creation of blood offspring and emphasized to the blood descendants of our family who were all from the human race at that time to drink blood instead of from the origin of the race such as the blood of chickens, cows, and other livestock.

Well, I know that it was also the thing that ultimately weakened our Sunda Castle and was easily dropped by the vampire hunters.

“Arno.”

I called Arno's name and was about to approach him.

He must have sensed that there was something strange on his body.

He was clearly still human, but now his blood had fused with vampire blood so he would become even stronger than before.

I had to calm him down before we returned to the outside world.

Actually as much as I could possibly want to be able to trick her into keeping my secret as a vampire awake because otherwise, the System penalty would soon have me dead in four months.

Well, but it's Arno who despite the pushover, he's sensitive.

But it doesn't matter either because I'm sure if it was Arno, he wouldn't have betrayed me like Jeanne.

“Viar.”

Arno smiled at me as he walked closer to me.

But suddenly, the ground around Arno cracked and he fell into it.

No, it's worse.

For some reason, the abyss suddenly opened and was about to pull Arno into it.

“Arno!”

I ran as hard as I could to save my only friend.
