?When us rips out that necromancer''s heart, only two of his group remain alive. Well, that can''t really be called alive since their leader can barely breathe while only having half a body, and the female necromancer is in no better shape.


    The vampire walks over to what''s left of the leader, picks up his bloodied upper half, and looks the poor man in the eyes. "What about now? Are you already regretting not trying to run away sooner?"


    That necromancer was only still alive due to his cultivation, but the pain had already destroyed his mind. He can barely speak hisst words. "Mons-"


    us rips out the necromancer''s heart before his blood starts to run cold and drinks it while tossing what''s left of the man on the floor.


    Irina watches the vampire go to the female necromancer and also rip out her heart to drink her blood, and the fairy can''t help but stare at that bright red liquid on his lips.


    "What is it? I''m not drinking from her neck." us thinks Irina is jealous.


    "It''s not that…" She walks over to him, and he lovingly hugs her waist.


    Next, he gently caresses her face. "So what''s on your mind?"


    Irina runs her finger across us''s lips, catching a few drops of the necromancers'' blood, then she looks at it with a thoughtful expression. "If I''m going to be something like you, so I must get used to drinking blood."


    "I don''t think other blood..." us starts to speak, but Irina puts that blood in her mouth and quickly spits it out. "... except mine will be good for you."


    "This''s gross!" Sheins about the taste of the necromancers'' blood. That is very different from us'' delicious blood.


    The vampire smiles as he wipes Irina''s lips, then he makes a small cut on his lips before kissing her, also giving her his blood.


    "Mmmm... this''s good... ahh... so fucking good!" The fairy lets out cute moans as she bes increasingly addicted to us'' blood.


    After letting her enjoy that for a minute, he breaks the kiss. "It seems that only my blood is good for you; I''ve seen something like this happen before, but things didn''t end well..."


    Irina can see regret, pain, and sadness in us'' eyes as he talks about his past. And she can''t help but be curious about that, but she isn''t going to ask him about it.


    "I don''t have any intention of being away from you, so you just need to give me some of your blood when I need it, and I''ll give you mine in return." She looks at him with an expectant but shy expression.


    "That''s the n." He runs his hands around her delicate waist, feeling the softness of her skin.


    us''s gentle, passionate touch arouses Irina''s body, also speeding up the way his blood strengthens her. Her eyes begin to glow with white light, and she feels that she is finally crossing the barrier of the Martial Novice Realm.


    "This is happening, for real!" She smiles and starts giving us peck kisses. "I''m entering the Martial Warrior Realm... and that''s thanks to you."


    "Everything we do, we do together, so there is no need to thank." He speaks in a loving tone.


    Irina smiles as she continues kissing him. "I agree!"


    She is interested in kissing us more, but she is also curious about how powerful she is now. In addition to feeling much stronger and faster than before, she also feels a potent elemental energy running through her body.


    "This..." Irina opens her hand and creates a tiny cyclone in her palm. "My control over the wind element is much better, and that''s not just due to my cultivation but also because your blood improves everything in my body."


    us can feel how Irina''s aura is getting stronger quickly, and that''s really impressive. "I''m d you feel well, my dear."


    "Well? I''ve never felt so powerful..." She smiles and looks around. "Where are those necromancers now? I want to test my new power."


    "Hmm..." us closes his eyes to focus his other senses to the maximum. He hears some necromancers running in corridors more than three hundred meters from that hall but without any sign of the Sect Master.


    "There are some necromancers nearby, trying to hide in secret passages and rooms, but I don''t know where that woman is... This vast ce has many corridors, so she could be close." He exins.


    Irina knows that us doesn''t want to run away, so she doesn''t insist on that but instead supports him. "What''s the n?"


    "Killing and drinking the blood of as many of them as I can before facing her." He responds.


    "So let''s not waste any more time!" She holds his hand and kisses his lips again.


    Then they head towards the next closest group of necromancers. Those people can''t hide from us'' incredible senses, so they fall one by one, either by his or Irina''s hands.


    us has already reached the secondyer of the Martial Novice Realm, so after drinking more and more blood from the necromancers, he advances through the third and fourthyers as well.<novelnext></novelnext>


    But the more his cultivation increases, the more blood he needs to feel any improvement in it. In his current state, the blood of someone from the Martial Novice Realm barely improves his cultivation, while Martial Warrior victims are still significant.


    On the other hand, the blood of his enemies continues to have an excellent effect on his body beyond cultivation.


    And us can drink blood endlessly since his body magically processes that blood, turning it into his dark blood and blood essence, which is stored in his heart and bes increasingly concentrated, not taking up more space.


    The terrified necromancers running through the corridors of the Bronze Skull Sect are a feast for us, and he hunts each one down, leaving behind a trail of mutted corpses.


    After killing almost a hundred necromancers, he and Irina arrive in front of a door that looks normal. us feels that there is some mysterious power behind that door, something that is calling to him, but he has no idea what it is.


    "What''s the problem?" Irina notices us''s curious expression.


    "There''s something in this ce..." He focuses his senses to the maximum but only hears a young necromancer hiding behind that door. And his instincts don''t warn him of any danger, although he feels a powerful aura there.


    Irina gets ready next to the door, and she looks at us with a determined expression. "Let''s do this together!"


    "Be careful." Hements as he takes his hand to the doorknob.


    us doesn''t know what could be generating that mysterious aura, so he remains alert as he opens the door, using his senses and agility to the fullest.


    Everything seems to be in slow motion; he opens the door and sees amon room ahead; other than the necromancer hiding under a double bed and some luxurious furniture, there''s nothing exceptional about the ce.


    *Whoosh*


    us quickly reaches the bed, throws it aside, and grabs the young necromancer by the neck.


    "WH-?!?!" That guy barely understands what''s going on before he can''t do anything due to us'' grip on his neck.


    Irina looks around and sees nothing suspicious before turning her attention to the necromancer. "He doesn''t seem a big deal."


    "Indeed..." us analyzes the necromancer but finds none of that aura in him; he is just a weak and scared guy.


    "NO-I" The necromancer tries to beg, but us quickly rips out his heart.


    Then the vampire drinks that necromancer''s blood before taking another look at the room. "There''s something in this ce... it must be hidden or something."


    Irina doesn''t feel the same aura as us, but she starts looking around the room for something interesting. "Let''s take a look..."


    "Wait!" Something catches her eye, a framed picture of a middle-aged couple in ck robes, which has the Bronze Skull Sect insignia.


    us doesn''t recognize the man in the picture at first, but he does recognize the woman; he saw her the day he arrived in that world. "Who is she?"


    "She was there when they did that ritual." Irina exins. "There were other people there, but this woman seemed special, something like the Sect Master''s right hand."


    "Ann was her name." Irina continues. "And this man must be her husband, Abner; it looks like he hasn''t aged well."


    "Hmm..." us continues to feel that mysterious aura around him. "I wonder what they hid in this ce?"


    "I''ll try something." Irina has an idea and tells us before rapidly pping her wings.


    us watches as Irina uses her wings to create a cyclone inside the room, spinning all the furniture and throwing everything into the air.


    She just seems to be making a big mess of it, but then he understands her n when he notices a metal te behind a picture on the wall.


    "Found it!" Irina smiles and flies to that wall; she doesn''t even give us time to tell her to be careful before she punches the metal te, removing it from the wall.


    us quickly arrives at Irina''s side and gets surprised to see an old book and a small bottle with red liquid inside a hole in the wall. The book doesn''t look interesting, but that mysterious liquid does since that powerful auraes from it.


    "Blood? But what kind of blood?" The vampire can''t help but think aloud.
