Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 38: The attack on the mountains begins

Perhaps she was too nervous and at the same time remembering her tragic past, where she suffered greatly at the hands of the devourers, but she hadn't even realized that she had told Matt all this.

Still, he didn't know what to say at a time like this.

Words of comfort or anything similar, did they really work? Back then, when his family and Charlotte's family died at the hands of the monsters, neither of them said words of comfort to each other. They were devastated and had been left with slight trauma.

Still, words of comfort did not come out of their mouths then; wasn't that normal?

What kind of words could comfort such a wounded person? Would the words bring their family members back to life? Would they heal their trauma? A simple answer to those questions is that they would not heal that wound, but perhaps they would make that person feel like they have support nearby.

But, for Matt and Charlotte, there is no greater support than being by the side of the person suffering. Back then, they were both his comforters. Just being there was enough for both of them. They knew that moving on with life was the best thing to do because they wanted each other to enjoy a good life, so it never crossed their minds to leave with their dead relatives.

Perhaps it was those past experiences that made Matt so expressionless, and this time would be no different. He doesn't know how to express words of comfort; he doesn't have that ability. Maybe others have it, and it's some powerful ability he doesn't know about, but he doesn't have it.

And even if he doesn't have it, this time, he wants to make Isla feel that, even though it is painful, he is there.

He had no ulterior motives when he hugged her lightly and laid her on his chest. He just wanted to comfort her and let her know that a friend was there with her and that everything would be okay this time.

But his actions would perhaps not take on the same meaning in the hands of an injured person.

Isla was surprised when she felt him embrace her at that moment, and when she looked up to see him, she was stunned to see the face in profile of the man in front of her.

She always thought that the two people who had saved her and brought her out of that torment that gave her many nights of nightmares would be the only two people who would enter her sight from now on, even though she was still a nice girl with everyone as in the past.

But ever since she met Matt, she felt he was a little different. Every time she looked at him, his eyes didn't seem to be normal. They didn't just seem to look at her, but she felt like they looked at so much more of her.

There was something unique about him.

Together with him, she always felt that everything would be better for her, and she couldn't understand that feeling. She never saw him as someone less than her; on the contrary, she felt that he was above her and that if she followed him, she would have an incredible future. And although she did not understand the reason for her thoughts and feelings, she chose to heed them.

And maybe now she's coming to understand a little about why she's been feeling this way all this time.

The indescribable male beauty that came into her eyes when she looked up and gazed into Matt's face and eyes left her stunned.

She couldn't describe what she was looking at but felt spellbound for some strange reason.

She stared at him for a long moment without blinking and, for some reason, felt warm in her heart. Perhaps she was thinking about the meaning of Matt's actions. Maybe she managed to understand him a little more.

So, she lay on his chest for a long time without uttering a word. They were submerged within their own thoughts, and perhaps that silence could convey the thoughts of both of them.

Matt and Isla woke up early the following day and said several words to their respective groups.

Today would be the first day of the raid, and they might have to battle devourers, so they needed to be prepared.

And a while later each group was ordered in the way the leader of this army garrison had said the day before.

Soon, all the teams left for the mountains in search of their designated camps to eliminate them that day.

In Matt and Isla's group, it was quiet all the way there. But once they entered the mountains, tension began to be felt in the air in both groups.

"Guys, yesterday I told you that I would help you get that ticket to the Second Academy. Well, today, I will begin to fulfill my promise. Since you have chosen to be good and behave well enough to pass the test, then I will choose to train you during this time. Since I am an S-Rank in Control, I am sure I can teach you a few things." Matt said, and after walking around for a while longer, he spoke to them again.

"Hide. Our target is ahead." He said as he looked the other way.

The devourers had erected several camps in the mountains, but during morning hours, they were not usually as active as vampires, so this was an excellent time to attack them.

At the camp, about 20 devourers were moving and scattered all over the place.

The leaders had barely 2,500 power, and most were below 1,500. Plus, they had a few two-devouring beasts for each person.

'Hmm, certainly, it's a bigger group, but it should teach them with this group.' Matt thought and smiled.

He looked at each group member and motioned for them to speak, so they backed up a bit.

"The plan is simple: we will go in simultaneously, but from different angles, so they don't know which angle to defend from. You all will take care of the ones in this section. Isla and I will enter from this side. I want you, in this combat, not to use weapons. Just use your hands to fight."

"Can you do that?" Matt asked after he had said everything.

Several of them frowned when they heard this but still nodded a little.

They were nervous, so Matt decided not to bother them anymore, and the raid began.
