Vampire Cultivation System in a Hidden World of Monsters

Chapter 163: The Blood Artillery Stage (1)



Ophelia moaned as I pressed harder into her body. I wanted to make her feel good and it seemed like I was doing my job effectively by the noises she was making.

"Oh, god! That feels so good, Dylan! Don't stop! Yeah, right there! Work it! Oh fuck!" Ophelia said.

I worked my thumbs along her spine and kneaded the muscles in her back. She had a lot of tension and knots in the muscles in her back. I wasn't a professional masseuse, but I did my best to massage her muscles and relieve some of her pain.

After I was finished massaging her, we lay on the bed next to each other, holding hands. She pulled me over on top of her, and kissed me. I kissed her back.

She flitted her snake tongue into my mouth a few times. I was used to it and fond of it by now due to Zara. I rubbed my human tongue against her snake tongue and swirled my tongue around hers.

I made out with her as best I could with our mismatching tongues. I still enjoyed myself, and she definitely enjoyed herself. She made all sorts of cute noises while we kissed.

"Did you get what you wanted?" I said.

"Oh, yeah! I sure did," she said.

"So you're not going to antagonize the other girls anymore, right?" I said, looking her in the eyes.

"No, I won't. As long as you keep spending quality time like that with me, I won't be upset anymore that you have to spend time with the other girls too," she said, sighing.

"I can't promise a massage every time, but we'll always figure out something to do," I said, as I headed to the door.

"Kiss me one more time. Please! You're so good at it," she said, lounging on the bed.

"Ok," I said. "But this is the last one." I walked back over to the bed and kissed her long and passionately. Then I began to walk toward the door.

"What are you doing for the rest of the day?" She asked.

"Hmm. I need to train more with my mom. I also need to talk to try to get band practice in sometime soon, but I don't think that's a today thing. So probably just cultivation training," I said. "You?"

"Waiting until my mate visits me tomorrow probably. I don't have a whole lot to do," she said.

"You should socialize with the other girls. I'm sure they'd include you if you asked. And if they say no, tell me and I'll talk to them. In a day or two, I'm going to get group cultivation training going too, so you should have plenty to do then," I said. "Just hang in there. It'll get better."

"Ok," she said, and forced a smile.

"I like you, Ophelia. I'm glad we could work this out," I said.

"Me too," she said.

"So, what's the next stage of my training?" I said.

"The Blood Artillery Stage. I call it the artillery stage, but you will learn how to create blood bullets without the help of those ice pills and you'll learn how to create temporary blood blades, blood swipes, and blood shields," Shikasa said.

"There's a later stage where you can actually create permanent blood constructs like weapons and armor, but that's not for a while. You have many stages to go before you get there."

"Nice! I've been trying to learn blood bullets for ages! I can already do blood blades though, and minor blood weapons," I said.

"Yeah, but can you do it well?" Shikasa said.

She summoned blood blades between her fingers simultaneously without her skin bursting open. I couldn't tell how she did it. Then she flung the blades at me. She flung them in a semi circular fan in front of her.

They were coming so fast and in such a wide spread that I couldn't dodge to the left or right without still getting hit. But they were all at chest and head height, so I ducked under them. The blades narrowly missed me.

As soon as I did that, I realized I had made a mistake. She was on me in a second. She advanced on me with lightning speed and summoned a blood sword that she pressed against my throat before I could stand back up.

She pressed it against my neck at an angle where if I stood up, I'd stab myself on her sword.

"Never let your opponent put you on the ground. Makes you vulnerable," she said.

"To be fair, I didn't know you were my opponent," I said.

"Assume that whenever we are training, I could attack at any moment. Not that I will attack randomly, because that would be dickish, but always be prepared," she said.

"Ok, I will do that. Can I stand up now?" I said, looking at the blood blade pressed into my neck.

"Oh yeah, sorry," she recalled the blade and the blood went back into her body somehow.

"How are you doing that?" I said. "How are you summoning blood from your body without any rips, tears, or holes?"

"Oh there's still damage taking place. You just can't see it. I'm bursting tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin and pulling small amounts of blood out of each vessel to amass a large quantity of blood. I burst between a 100 and 1,000 minor blood vessels every time I summon blood externally, depending on the amount of blood I need," she said. "It heals almost instantly, and I can barely feel it. I'll teach that to you as well during this stage."

"Cool," I said. "Let's get started."

Shikasa walked me through the process of selecting vessels and creating individual micro ruptures in the skin, before moving on to combining multiple ruptures at the same time.

We worked our way up from 1 blood vessel rupture to 1,000. Then we worked on speed of blood withdrawal. Then we worked on how to put the blood back.

That was actually the hardest part. I had to rupture the vessels again and then guide the blood into the holes. It was very precise work. It took me a whole 30 minutes to learn.

The healing portion of the process just took running some extra Vi along the skin where the vessels were burst. Technically, they would heal rather quickly on their own. I just had to do that in order to heal them instantly.

After that, we were going to work on basic external manipulation. Of which I already knew how to do, but Shikasa said that she had to make sure I was doing it correctly.
