The Vampire Cat System
Chapter 281 Blood Menace

If his daggers were to be destroyed even if he could fight without them, it still wouldn't be enough at least if he wanted to keep the act of not being able to use symbiote, this was why he had done all he could to not let the demon beast destroy them.

Besides, if he wanted to keep on the act, he needed his perception to be able to have a better detection range, that even before his opponent had attacked him from a distance he would have plenty of options to choose from and what to do next as well.

After closing the system status screen Bernard felt extremely satisfied and happy, so far he had been trying to level up by defeating opponents and training himself in the game, so when he had fallen into the stargate the first thought that entered his mind was the fact he would no longer be able to level up again, especially when he didn't know which planet he was going to, as he was thinking and feeling quite good about himself he soon noticed a notification message that had appeared before his line of sight, upon reading it he became surprised.

[New Skill unlocked]

[Blood Menace]

[Blood Menace: The skill uses the blood of the host as a catalyst, to arouse the innate fear from all blood-related creations, below host level or willpower. The skill must be active in order to use it, from the user's blood, a manifest of the user's blood will be realized spreading out to cover a wide range, the smaller the range on the targets the more effect it would have - Cost 5 Hp]

After going through the details of the skill, Bernard became even more surprised, the reason he was surprised was the skill reminded him of Shanks in one piece who had an ability called Conqueror's Haki, with this ability in one piece he could literally use his willpower to incapacitate and crush anyone.

Bernard couldn't help but wonder how strong his new skill was compared to Conqueror's Haki in the anime, however, although he was happy he had finally gotten his hands on a new skill, the problem was the amount of Hp the skill cost just to activate it.

Just from the number of health points he had, Bernard guess he could only be able to activate the skill 8 times, which wasn't much he wouldn't have thought much of it, if he had anyone around he could use their blood to experiment on the skill, but then not only was there no one around but he also didn't know how long he would be stuck in this unknown planet or if the academy would even come to his rescue, so it was best he reserve his health points as much as possible, thankfully he had energy base skills and ability.

So in as much he had enough meat by his side, he could always use his energy points and wouldn't be worried that he would be short of energy, Bernard then walked up to the demon beast on the ground that was still bringing out smoke, he had burnt the demon beast so bad that it had literally become scorch, however that wouldn't stop him from eating the demon beast, as long as the taste wasn't that bad he could always eat the beast around to recover his energy if he lost them.

Looking at the chunk of meat he had cut from the beast, not only was black blood dripping from it most of the parts were scorched black, and it didn't look appetizing at all, however, Bernard didn't let it discourage him, and simply imagine he was eating a normal meat back in the academy, but before that he scraped the burnt part to reveal the soft and tender meat of the demon beast before he gnawed on it.

As he chewed the meat, he couldn't help but scrunch his face a little compared to human blood he wasn't drawn by it, not only was the taste bland but to the very core, and just eating it made him feel like he was chewing on sandpaper, yet he didn't stop, in order not to feel disgusted Bernard tried using the fragrance of the demon beast to try consoling himself but that only made things worse since the demon beast burnt corpse didn't give out a nice fragrance either.

Still, he forced himself to chew, at least for now if he wanted to restore his energy points then he had no other choice than to feast on the demon beast, while he was recovering his energy points, Bernard decided to use Appraise on the blood to see if he could somehow use it as a replacement for human blood, however, the moment he did, it seem like he was bound to fail because on his expression a frown could be seen and it was anything but beautiful.

'Activate Appraise'

'Appraising DracoLizard Blood'

[Blood can not be consumed by Host, if consumed blood-related ability would become inactive for 24 hours]

He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at what was written on the status screen, it was expected so he didn't think much of it, this was just the system's own way of telling him without human blood he was doomed for life.

He couldn't help but wonder why his body only accepts human blood and not other types of blood, it was like he was cursed to only be attracted to human blood, and not even a lady being naked in front of him was as attractive as blood to him, he couldn't help but wonder if it ever comes a time where he was meant to choose between a woman and blood what would he choose.

'If I was to guess, then I bet my body would choose blood instead, after all, fuck women who cares about them when I have blood?'Bernard couldn't help but think, for some reason, the system was oddly specific about what he should and what he shouldn't do, this had begun after he got the system and then became worse when he evolve as a halfling, from this alone he could now tell the blood of the beast wouldn't work, even if they were to be red as that of humans.

However, there was one person who knew exactly why this was like this, and might even be the reason behind why everything was like this, and that person was none than the cat Mr. Meow Meow, but then the damn cat was in a slumber probably hiding in some part of his body, and the most annoying think was he didn't know when the cat would be out of its slumber or if it already was but choose not to show itself.
