Master Leo

AUTHORS NOTE : UNEDITED CHAPTER

I have been here this whole time, child. what exactly did you have to endure for you to become like this? the old vampire said with compassion in his voice.

[sigh]

zareth sighed before responding

"I'm too weak, I lost two of my friends because of my weakness, I don't even know if they're still alive."

"Even after sacrificing themselves for me to escape, I'm still unable to help them or do anything about the situation, instead here I am, in a stinking dungeon without even knowing why I'm being kept here."

After speaking, he used both of his palms to cover his face. looking at zareth behave like this, the old man smiled before responding.

"Oh, I see. If your problem is being weak, then all you need to do is grow stronger! it's as simple as that."

After saying this, the old vampire lay back down on the small bed on the corner.

"it's easy for you to say old man, all my friends had awakened their ability and as a result they can now use mana, everyone in my group is now a vampire mage except me..... I'm just a talentless trash." Zareth said as if he had given up on himself.

he was expecting the old vampire to respond or at least say something, but all he got was absolute silence from the old man and nothing more.

The silence continued until zareth fell asleep. the next day, zareth was woken up by the old vampire, who for some reason had a pleasant smile on his face.

"Am I missing something, Oldman? zareth asked in confusion. " Consider yourself lucky child, for I've decided to pass down my knowledge to you and help you grow stronger.

Zareth didn't know how to feel about the old vampire's offer, but he knew he had nothing to lose, it wasn't like he had anything better to do inside the dungeon in the first place so he agreed to accept the old vampire as his teacher.

They both told each other their names, and Zareth began addressing the old man as master Leo.

zareth's first lesson with master Leo focused on breathing, meditation, and energy channelling. According to master Leo, the quickest way for zareth to overcome his bottleneck is for him to increase the amount of vampiric energy in his core, this will then trigger his body to break into the mage rank.

zareth was unsure wether master Leo's theory would work or not, but he didn't allow his doubts to stop him.

Every day, he would focus on his training, doing everything master Leo asks of him without any complaints.

one day, while he was still channelling his energy, he began experiencing great changes in his body.

his body was reacting differently. He could feel a new energy flowing into his body through the pores on his skin.

Not only that, his entire system was reacting differently to this new energy, while zareth was unsure of what was going on, master Leo new very well that his student was finally breaking into the mage rank.

ordinarily the ability a vampire will awaken upon reaching the mage Rank depend solely on luck or sometimes their family bloodline.

But master Leo was ready to take the fate of zareth into his hands. He wanted to pass down his abilities to zareth, so he decided to take a gamble and hope for the best.

while zareth was reacting to the way mana was rushing into his body, master Leo began sending void elemental energy into zareth's body as well.

since he had already mastered the void element, the energy he was transferring into zareth's body did no damage to him. Instead, they fused perfectly with the mana, further altering zareth's genes.

master Leo initial plan was to help zareth awake an ability that was based on the void element so he could pass down all his knowledge to zareth.

To his surprise, when he was done with the process of transferring the energy into zareth, he realised zareth had become a hybrid of some sort.

From the energy he had transferred into zareth, he was able to feel the presence of another energy present within him. This meant zareth would be able to control two abilities.

during their training sections, zareth was able to use both of his powers in different ways. First, his void elemental ability was the hardest to master, even if he had master Leo, who was already skilled in this regard to help guide him.

with his second ability, he could use energy to create explosions on different scales. He could use his energy as a form of a bomb or as an explosive.

the good thing was, from the moment he awakened his abilities, master Leo never allowed zareth to train inside their regular dungeon.

he would always create a folded space for them to train on. one time, the level of energy blast conjured by zareth was simply too powerful that the entire space that master Leo had created for him to trian came crumbling down.

since the might behind his attacks were so powerful, zareth wanted to blast them out of their dungeon, but master Leo refused him from escaping.

in his defence, zareth wasn't strong enough to go on seeking revenge. even though zareth felt bad about his master's decision, he still listened to him anyway.

the more time zareth spent with master Leo, the more he understood just how powerful his master was, but even though he was powerful, he never allowed his power to cloud his reasoning.

master Leo was a person who always thought things through thoroughly before acting, so zareth knew his master was a very reliable person.

one day master Leo gave zareth a very important lesson about the void element. in his words, " in the beginning before anything came to be, the first element to exist was the void element."

for within this element lies the power of creation and destruction itself. within this element, nothing can exist, not even time. as time is literally at a stand still within a void space.

To survive within a void space and also willed the power behind the void element, one would need to become one with the element itself

master Leo, then began giving zareth profound teachings about the void element and how to gain absolute control over this power.

While teaching zareth about this element, he also stressed the reason why zareth needed to be careful while using this power, for if he was to use this power recklessly, he might accidentally unleash its destructive powers.

he then thought zareth how to create and safely enter into a void space. within this space, zareth realised he could experience peace and tranquillity. Within this space, he could create whatever he wanted as long as he could imagine it.

He could also erase from existence whatever he wished, seeing how broken this ability was. He was already day dreaming about how he would use this skill to fight in an actual battle.

For if he was to trap an opponent with zero knowledge about how to use the void element within this space in an actual battle, that would be the end of such an opponent.

Every day, zareth would train with master Leo within the next year. whenever he would bring about the issue of leaving, master Leo would find a way of discouraging him.

It was almost like master Leo wanted him to forget about seeking revenge for his friends.

one day, while he was training, zareth realised he could use his void ability to travel a long distance almost instantly, just like teleportation.

since time was at a stand still within this space, he could create a void space and cover a long distance and by the time he reappeard at another location it would take absolutely zero seconds to move from one point to the other.
