The First Magic World War

Chapter 439: 406. Blood Burst Technique

Charles suddenly thought, “Could Byron be too strong?”

Although Byron suffered heavy losses in the naval battle and was continually entangled with Ferlanden without any resolution, once he acquired Duchess Meisu’s Northern Fleet, the naval strength had recovered by seventy to eighty percent, especially with the addition of Fontainebleau, and now with Constantine himself joining.

Charles suddenly began to worry for his father-in-law.

Even though Juno Arthur claimed to be an old friend of Brittany, the other Vampire Clans were not necessarily old friends of the Brittany Family. Besides, even old friends might not always remain on good terms.

However, this matter was clearly not his to worry about, after all, he was just a High-Level Transcendent and couldn’t concern himself with the affairs of the Sacred Order, especially those of the Peak Holy Order.

Juno Arthur snapped his fingers, and a black-covered book with innumerable tiny golden Runes swirling appeared. He said to Charles, “You have advanced to a High-Level Transcendent, and according to theory, you should have already condensed a Blood Core!”

Charles’s face turned red with embarrassment; indeed, he had thought about condensing a Blood Core and had even given up absorbing his enemies’ life force to seek a more refined Blood Energy, but he hesitated later because he still wanted to get married and have children. Becoming a Vampire would rob him of the ability to procreate.

Juno Arthur smiled faintly and said, “Vampires transformed through the Arcane Rite or First Embrace, even if they are still Low Order and haven’t condensed a Blood Core, can no longer reproduce, but you still have a chance. Not wanting to condense a Blood Core so soon is only natural!”

“Back in my day…”

“I too once had affection for a human girl!”

“It’s just a pity that I was too obsessed with power and became a Vampire in such a hurry before I could have offspring. I regretted it later, but it was already too late.”

Charles asked in surprise, “Were you originally human?”

Juno Arthur smiled slightly and said, “Yes! Most Vampires were originally human.”

Only then did Charles realize that he had asked a stupid question—there were no Vampires born that way in the world!

Well, maybe there were, but it was very rare.

At least Charles had never heard of any.

Juno Arthur continued, “Since you haven’t condensed a Blood Core yet, what about Prime Blood Boiling?”

Speaking softly, Charles said, “The Blood Energy from the Asiluo Clan has already undergone Prime Blood Boiling, and so has the Blood Energy from the Arthur Clan, but none of the others have.”

Juno Arthur smiled faintly and said, “Since you’ve already done Prime Blood Boiling, I’ll start teaching you the first Secret Technique of the Arthur Clan: the Blood Bat Technique!”

This number one strongman of the Blood Clan was definitely a good teacher; he explained Blood Bat Technique thoroughly and demonstrated personally how to change the flesh body and produce Blood Bats.

This Secret Technique was easy to learn and master, a rarity in the Blood Clan with its versatile applications: it could release Blood Bats for battlefield reconnaissance, transform into countless Blood Bats for traveling, escaping, avoiding assassination, and even reconstitute the body and heal grievous wounds by using the Blood Bat Technique. It was somewhat similar to the Bloodflame Transformation Art but more ingenious.

At first, Charles was somewhat perfunctory, but he quickly became engrossed in it. When he gradually understood the essence of the Blood Bat Technique, he suddenly heard Juno Arthur say softly, “Let’s stop here for tonight. It’s already dawn.”

Charles’s eyes opened slightly, and indeed, the sky was already turning light.

“`

He feigned opening his palm, and a black-covered book with broken golden runes appeared—this was the manifestation of the Bloodline Mantra.

Charles opened the first page and inside was a spell already recorded—Blood Bat Technique!

Charles closed the book of the Bloodline Mantra, allowing it to disappear from his hand, then called out to Madam Nancy, instructing the lady to prepare a carriage to take him to the Central Government Office.

During the journey, Charles caught up on his sleep; a night of training had taken a great toll on him.

After arriving at work, he didn’t attend to any official duties but continued to catch up on sleep. Only at noon did he go to have lunch with Anne. Seeing him droopy and listless, Anne inquired about the situation. Charles frankly revealed all, startling Anne, who whispered, “So it turns out that the guest Baron Byron is actually the strongest of the Vampires.”

The Old Earl of Brittany had not mentioned this to his daughter either because the matter was of great importance and required strict confidentiality.

However, Juno Arthur going out of his way to teach Charles the Bloodline Mantra was not something the Old Earl could have anticipated.

Seeing Charles so exhausted, Anne no longer felt like working and followed him back to 221B Baker Street, letting him rest first while she prepared afternoon tea to enjoy when he woke up.

Charles returned to his room without giving it much thought and fell into a deep sleep. It wasn’t that he was exhausted; after all, he was a Transcendent. The study of the Bloodline Mantra had simply taken too much of his blood energy.

In the afternoon, after Charles had woken up from his sleep and felt a bit more energized, he enjoyed afternoon tea with Anne, and they went out for a walk together.

In the evening, Charles escorted Anne back to 58 Sixth Avenue and did not return to Elysian Pastoral Street No. 58. Instead, he went to Baker Street. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, a wave of fatigue overwhelmed him, and he couldn’t help but close his eyes.

This time, when he opened his eyes, he was still on the fragrant, bird-filled prairie. Juno Arthur, dressed in a Fars-style hunting outfit, said with a merry smile, “Your talent for the Bloodline Mantra is clearly superior to other Vampire Secret Techniques. Today, I will teach you the Arthur Clan’s Blood Burst Technique!”

The strongest Vampire gestured slightly, and Charles felt his blood reversing its flow, almost exploding out of his body at the brink of a breakthrough.

Feeling a chill in his heart, he hurriedly invoked Bloody Glory, but how could he withstand the Peak Holy Order?

After demonstrating the Blood Burst Technique, Juno Arthur meticulously imparted the Secret Technique to Charles.

This Arthur Clan Secret Technique involved manipulating the blood within an enemy’s body, employing various methods. Should the enemy be caught off guard by a Blood Burst Technique, their blood would burn within them like fire. If unable to withstand it, they would burst from internal blood combustion.

After Charles had a basic grasp of the Blood Burst Technique, Juno, still smiling warmly, asked, “Do you know the true method of using the Blood Burst Technique?”

Charles shook his head, and Juno made the motion of pulling a trigger, saying, “It’s to draw the enemy’s life force to form Vampiric Bullets. As long as there are enough enemies, the Vampiric Bullets refined from the Blood Burst Technique will never cease. On the battlefield, you will always have a moment for a turnaround.”

Juno elegantly flipped over, and with a slight curl of her hands, released two Vampiric Bullets.

Even though it was only in a dream, Charles could feel that the energy of the two Vampiric Bullets didn’t come from Juno Arthur but from within his own body.

This secretive technique was incredibly sinister and ruthless, yet coupled with Juno’s exceptionally graceful Gun Fighting Technique, it turned into the most suave art of killing.

That night, Charles spent yet another night in arduous training.
