Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 41: A Powerful Devourer

The moment Matt struck him the last blow, Caspian unleashed his vampiric power to slightly increase his speed, which caused Matt's blow to hit him in a way that pushed him forward.

Still, that was also what revealed the identity of the attacker.

How could Matt not realize it was that guy if he revealed his power before him?

'Since you want to kill me, don't blame me for what might happen to you.' Matt thought, anger rising in his heart, and just then, Isla came running up to him with a pale face.

"Matt, are you all right!?" She asked in alarm and didn't hesitate to throw herself beside him, pulling out several bandages to put on the wounds on his body.

The members of the two teams knew that the situation was delicate, so they had to summon their weapons and fight with all their might to eliminate these devourers faster.

Matt nodded to Isla, "I'm fine. Don't worry. Let's get moving from here. I need to recover a bit." He replied, smiling, and got up.

She quickly helped him, "But what about the poison? Isn't it dangerous to move like this?" she asked quickly.

"It's okay; the poison is just a temporary weakener. It seems to be an ability of the weapon I was attacked with, so soon, my strength will return to normal." Matt replied sincerely.

Isla then nodded, and they started walking quickly around the place.

A while later, they stopped to rest in the vicinity of the forest to rest and heal the group's wounds.

According to the Army Leader, in these places, the Devourers don't usually attack before launching a full attack. But several groups of students have likely returned to camp after their hunt by now, so the Devourers should be reorganizing.

As a result, it is considered a safe zone right now.

Getting back to camp would take them a while longer, and although Matt didn't realize it from being stuck with that guy, several of his group members were severely injured, so they needed to be treated.

After tending to them and teaching them various things to make the training effective, Matt looked at his arm and frowned.

'My strength has already returned, which means that poison was a temporary ability. But, these wounds on my arm won't let me move it freely.' Matt thought, thinking it was troublesome.

So, he strapped on some more bandages and then went back to explaining various things to the group while Isla attended to them.

His thoughts wandered during that moment.

'If that guy attacked once, I can't think he won't do it again. And if he managed to convince his group to attack us, it would be problematic if I can't move my arm freely, but if I can teach these little guys various things, they'll be useful.' He thought as he taught his effective and easy-to-learn assassination tactics.

As well as keeping his mind sharp. Now that he knows a guy among the vampires wants to assassinate him, he must be careful in every step he takes. Therefore, he did not let his guard down for a moment.

After attending to the team members and Matt finished teaching them various things, Isla sat beside Matt.

"Matt, I never thought that the devourers could change their aura to be as similar as ours to get to one side of us." She said, and a slight shiver ran through her body as soon as she thought of what would have happened if the one attacked from behind had been her.

Matt looked at her and smiled, "You shouldn't think all vampires are good, Isla. Just as there are good vampires, there are also bad vampires." He replied.

She was confused by his answer and looked at him, "What do you mean?" she asked, but he just shook his head.

There was no need to answer that question right now.

Thus, the hours passed. Before nightfall, the team decided to camp at this location until tomorrow, so they set up the tents with the materials they had been given.

And after a quick dinner, several went to sleep while some stood guard.

Matt didn't need to sleep right now, so he stayed out on guard duty. He was thinking about various things.

The hours continued to pass in a slightly long night for many until dawn broke.

The entire team was up early that day.

"We already completed the Leader's first task, but there is still one more mission for you, and then there will be a third one for us, the leaders. Let's return to the camp as planned, and after we recover, we can go back. It would be problematic to encounter devourers in our current conditions." Matt said, staring at them.

They all were in agreement. Although they had much praise for Matt, they understood that even a person as strong as him had to retreat when it was time. Besides, there were several wounded.

Those who were not wounded helped the wounded to walk correctly so that their wounds would not open up again and they began walking back to the camp.

But they were stopped when they had not even walked ten steps.

"...Show yourself. You don't need to hide with such a powerful presence." Matt said coldly.

Just then, 21 devourers showed themselves from side to side.

The vast majority of them were not that powerful. They had a strength similar to that of the students of the third academy, although there was one with a strength close to Isla's.

But there was one that stood in front of Matt, who was the one he had been staring at since he appeared.

The sinister smile revealed his shark teeth, making him look terrifying. He was also quite big and muscular.

Matt clenched his fist and stood before Isla when he felt this guy's strength.

This guy was much stronger than him.

'What the hell is such a powerful guy doing here?' Matt thought in shock.

"Vampires, since you dare to steal one of our clan's treasures, don't expect things to end well for you." The Devourer growled and unleashed all his power into the surroundings.

This tremendous power took away the ability to breathe from many of Matt's team members, who couldn't stand the pressure and fell a bit to their knees.

Matt and Isla's eyes widened as they felt this.

'That's over 5,000 power!' They thought in shock.

Being trapped by such a powerful guy was the worst thing that could happen right now.

Still, Matt didn't look too nervous.

He even smiled a little. Although his skin itched from the power this guy was revealing, he also felt his blood boiling hard.

This was the first time he could fight such a powerful guy by himself.

This wasn't just any devourer. He had already received a hard skin upgrade, so he was a tough devourer to beat and very dangerous.

Maybe Alice couldn't beat him if they faced each other.

Despite that, Matt was revealing a smile.

'Tsk, maybe I'm going crazy. But... I want to see how strong I've become.' He thought to himself, though he hadn't forgotten about the members of his group.

'Negotiating is impossible... I still don't understand how this guy could have possibly gotten here and how he hid from the leaders, but... There must be a way to get away.' Matt thought and looked from side to side slightly.

His smile and the fact that he wasn't paying enough attention to the guy in front of him was provocative, at least to this mighty Devourer.

"You smile and ignore me? Hmph, let me wipe that smile off your face, you bastard." Said the most powerful Devourer, and without another word, he charged hard at him.

His speed was so fast that Matt could only move his arms to his chest to defend himself, and the impact sent him back dozens of feet as his feet dug into the ground.

'Too powerful...' Matt thought in shock. That blow alone felt like his bones were going to break.

Still, he couldn't run away from this battle. He needed to create an opportunity to escape. So, he launched his dimensional move to appear before the Devourer instantly, hitting it in the chest as well.

"Isla, command the others to kill the rest; leave this big guy to me!" He shouted.
