My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 275: Scathach joins the club. 2

”And I thought… Why not? And so I did that and gave her blood. A large amount.” He displayed a small smile.

”After that, itʼs like you already know.” Victor went back to reading.

ʼJust from these two pages of this book, Iʼve learned the importance of the world tree to the gods...-ʼ His thought was interrupted when he heard Sashaʼs voice:

”Darling then gave a drop of his blood, causing him to start screaming in pain.” Sasha continued Victorʼs story as she read her book.

”...That took me by surprise.” Sasha muttered.

[...Eve, you were around... Why didnʼt you stop the master?]

[...] Eve was silent.

[Stop, Kaguya. You, of all people, should know well enough that when the master starts something, no one can stop him.] Maria spoke.

[Heʼs just very stubborn like that.] Bruna continued.

[Indeed.] Roberta agreed.

[.....]

[Sigh, youʼre right... Iʼm sorry, Eve.]

[Itʼs okay.] Eve replied.

”....” Victor flashed a small apologetic smile when he heard his Maidsʼ conversation in his head.

Realizing that the girls needed an explanation, he said:

”That was because I got the memories of the individuals she fed on.” Victor added in the story.

”.....” An awkward silence fell over the place, and all the girls looked at Victor.

”What!?”

”...?” Victor looked out of the corner of his eye and saw his wivesʼ expressions of shock.

”Oh, hadnʼt I told you this before...?” He just remembered that he forgot that fact:

”When I feed on an individual, I can see their memories.”

”When did you learn to do this!?” Violet asked.

”It was the year I spent with Ruby.” He replied in a neutral tone and went back to reading. Unexpectedly, he was enjoying reading about the mythology behind the world tree. It was quite interesting.

Sasha and Violet looked at Ruby:

”... I did not know that.” She quickly spoke as she thought back a bit and started to remember all the times she felt awkward and caught off guard when Victor would talk about something he shouldnʼt have known.

After the initial shock, Scathach said, ”...That makes sense now, as you absorbed a lot of memories, you couldnʼt handle it all, thus, you passed out.”

”Yes.”

ʼHas he already awakened this ability? Huh? That should only happen when he becomes a 1000 year old vampire!ʼ Scathachʼs mind was confused. The information she knew about the Night Kings didnʼt match the experiences sheʼd had while observing Victor.

The skill that Victor just talked about was a passive skill of all Night Kings with a Vampire origin.

But this ability could only be awakened when he was at least 1000 years old, considering it was an ability heʼd only acquire during an evolution.

But... Victor had already awakened it...

ʼWhy is he so special?ʼ A smile began to grow on Scathachʼs face; ʼHeʼs like a box of surprises, always surprising me and not allowing my life to be dull at all...ʼ

”Although this skill is complicated... Every time I use it, I just take it all in, and if I donʼt focus on what I want to know, information just gets thrown around in my head, and I donʼt learn anything.” Victor made a difficult face; he had quite a hard time controlling this ability.

”And sometimes, the skill doesnʼt work...” Victor had already come across cases where he couldnʼt use this skill on other beings.

”...By biting a person, you know their whole life...” Sasha swallowed hard and thought how absurd that was.

”It makes me uncomfortable... Is Darling going to be okay with having lots of memories that arenʼt his, in his head?” Violet talked about her concern.

”...” The girls fell silent as they began to share the same concern as Violet, except for Scathach.

”You are wrong Violet, and Sasha.”

”...” Victor and the girls looked at Scathach:

Seeing that sheʼd gotten everyoneʼs attention, she continued while looking at Violet:

”He wonʼt get lost in someone elseʼs memories. Itʼs impossible for that to happen, after all, heʼs the ʼpredatorʼ that swallowed that individual... A predator wonʼt get lost in the memories of his prey. Victorʼs own blood wouldnʼt let that happen.”

”...Oh... Thatʼs good then.” Violet didnʼt fully understand what Scathach was implying, but knowing that Victor was going to be okay, was enough for her.

Scathach looked at Sasha, ”By biting a person, he wonʼt know their whole life, this skill is not that gentle.”

”He needs to kill the individual, and after he kills the individual, a process called ʼthe absorption of an existenceʼ takes place. And through that process, he absorbs a fragment of the individualʼs soul.”
