Chapter 214 Adaptation

"What do you think?"

Rodrick looked down at the bloody flames, or rather flames, in his palms.

The blood flame that originally required cutting the skin, exposing the wound, and bleeding out can now be released at will.

Of course, without proper training and practice, the power of blood flames is still limited. At this stage, if you want to exert the power of blood flames, you still need a wound of suitable size.

"Besides, this is it."

With a thought, Roderick extinguished the flame in his palm, and then released a faint bloody aura from his hand.

If you don't look carefully, traces of blood that are difficult to detect under the sun slowly flow through his hands.

This seemingly inconspicuous blood energy is actually as strong as steel, strong enough to withstand bullet damage at close range.

"As expected...have I stepped into a deeper realm of darkness?"

"It's okay if you want to understand it this way."

Annan, who came to Roderick's residence today to perform a physical examination on him, nodded.

"It should be that after what happened last time, your body has further adapted to the power of vampires, but the situation has not become too bad. At most, your blood-sucking urge has become stronger, and you need to suck a little more blood.

In short, as long as you follow your past practices and try not to try to master this power, there won't be too many problems. "

"I hope..."

Roderick shook his head and dispersed the blood energy in his hands.

In reality, he couldn't maintain this further vampire power for long, nor could he exert much power, but even so, it was something he couldn't do before.

This power is not a good thing for him.

"If I accidentally enter the other world again..."

"There's nothing you can do about it. If your luck is really that bad, the next time you enter the other world you'll encounter a blood moon. Even if I can arrive in time, it won't be that simple to bring you back."

Annan knew that if his allies were in trouble, he would not leave them alone, but Roderick, who had obviously mastered further vampire power, would definitely become more troublesome even without any clear mind.

Don't talk about saving others at that time, it may harm yourself in turn.

"I will carry sedatives with me from now on..."

Roderick had actually been reminded before to carry a sedative at all times in case of emergency, and he indeed did so, but he didn't really carry it with him, but kept it by his side.

When he suddenly fell into the other world, he really couldn't react. Naturally, he didn't have time to get the weapons and sedatives placed in the drawer.

If the last time I accidentally fell into the other world, I would have injected myself with sedatives as soon as I saw the bloody moon in the sky to keep myself calm or simply passed out, I might not have allowed the vampire's power to go any further.

"No, asking you to bring a sedative is a precaution. But if you enter the other world, a place where danger may occur at any time, it would be too dangerous to inject yourself with a sedative."

In order to prevent the vampires from doing stupid things, Annan gave them a more in-depth explanation of the dangers of the other world.

Roderick has not entered the other world many times, and he doesn't know much about the dangerous monsters or special phenomena that may appear in the other world. It is not surprising that there is such a misunderstanding.

Although Annan, who usually enters the other world from time to time, has not encountered many dangers, his ability to freely enter and exit the shadows of the world cannot be compared to the same.

"Understand? In the most dangerous place in the world, it's best to keep your head clear, if you can."

"……I see."

Roderick sighed and nodded.

The uncontrollable factor of falling into the otherworld was beyond the control of a weak vampire like him, and he didn't think his luck was that good. Maybe he would never come back next time.

The so-called dangerous factor for him is the entire inner world itself. Even if there are no monsters or abnormal phenomena, if he is allowed to shine on the blood moon one more time, he will most likely explode himself.

But he didn't have any good way to solve this problem.

"Actually, it's not that there is no way, but I don't know if it can be successful."

Annan coughed lightly, and then introduced a method to Roderick.

This is the same method that Detective Antonio is trying.

"...Do you want to take the initiative to enter the other world?"

Without much hesitation, Roderick asked Annan for this experimental method, which he still didn't know whether it was reliable or not.

"No matter what, I will die anyway. I am very willing to try this possibility."

"Don't think too much, maybe it will succeed? Besides, it's not like there is a red moon every time you enter the other world."

Rodrick's thoughts were a bit gloomy. Annan was not a professional psychiatrist and did not understand these things, so he could only try to enlighten him.

"It's no problem. Look at Professor, he's already over forty years old and he's still not living well."

In fact, the situation of magic professor Dulan is different from that of ordinary dark creatures.

Duran's mother is indeed the clone of the Golden Witch, so he has a little bloodline and influence from the black magic construct, but he is never a pure dark creature, and the influence of this instinct is much lighter.

In addition, the average number of times he enters the other world is once a year, which means he does not fall into the other world very often.

In addition, the magic professor has rich experience, sufficient magic knowledge and power, and will not be too affected by various influences in the other world, so there is not much pressure.

"I understand."

Rodrick showed strong strength in the end, and Annan felt that the other party's will had become firm again. After feeling that there was no problem, he ended the physical examination.

Then, within two days, something happened on Roderick's side.

To be more precise, Roderick acted impulsively.

"I'm talking about you..."

In the middle of the night, Annan suddenly received an emergency call from Roderick and quickly drove to the scene of the incident.

"Didn't I say that the presidential election is approaching, so you gangsters will be more peaceful?"

"The timing is very good this time. I think we should take action. Moreover, as long as it doesn't cause a big problem, there will be no problem."

Roderick did not think that this action was impulsive. He had planned and planned it in detail.

Tonight's operation was also successful. Their side did not suffer much loss, but the other side was almost completely wiped out.

However, when counting the harvest, the surprise was a little too big.

"Those guys... Coulier is too bold to help them..."

Roderick looked at the situation in the modified container in front with a complicated expression.

Nine trembling children were being guarded by his men, but these men were staring at these defenseless children with nervous and wary expressions.

If these children acted rashly, Roderick's men would probably shoot them without hesitation.

"Children of dark creatures, and there are so many of them... What on earth are those guys, those bastards doing..."
