Just like that, when Barseagle, Liz, and Kate went out. They were struck dumb at what they saw. They saw a huge figure just a meter from the entrance, looking at them with a faint smile.
"Ian!?" Daniel's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he saw the familiar clothes and familiar faces.
But what's up with the size!??
Kate and Liz were also dumbfounded. This is Ian!? What happened? Why did he grow so big!?
"Y-you???" Kate sized Ian up and down.
In the vampire population, the average height was 5'7 and the tallest would be 6'7. Of course, there are exceptions. Such as those vampires with gigantifation blood ability that allows them to temporarily increase their body size to an exaggerated degree. But those are only temporary. And they are powerful, rightfully so, as they had the blessing of the natural strength of vampires and size equal to their werewolf counterparts!
Imagine, a giant vampire. Vampires, at their natural height, are already quite fearsome to begin with. Not to mention, a giant one? It's nothing short of terrifying when Kate thinks about it.
And now, there was one in front of them and he was her teammate!
"What happened to you?" Barseagle let go of his vigilance as he saw that it was indeed Ian. Then, his eyes narrowed into slits. "Hmmm... I don't know if my guess is true. But have you had a breakthrough and ascended to a true vampire?"
Ian smiled and didn't nod his head but just said: "I didn't receive a blood ability this time. However, I found that my height seems to have increased overnight."
Daniel looked at Ian with a pair of complex eyes. He was also envious at this time. "That explains it. A breakthrough of blood purity affects everybody differently." He didn't expect this guy to be the first in the team to become a true vampire aside from their captain. "In your case, becoming a true vampire enhanced your size!"
Kate, on the sideline, nodded.
Liz, on the other hand, had a frown on her face as she felt something was amiss. However, she couldn't quite put a finger on it. "It that was the case. It seems it had increased your height by at least 2 meters, am I right?"
"Indeed so." Ian nodded
"Then..." Liz caressed her chin thoughtfully. "Eve though you ascended to true vampire realm. Why is your size inferior to that of true werewolves which are 5 meters?" Her frown became deeper. "The enhancement you receive after blood purity seems to be weak in comparison?"
Barseagle chuckled. "Don't overthink things. Different things affect people differently."
On the other side, Ian felt a cold sweat on his back. What the fuck? Why is this Liz woman so skeptical? However, Ian had to admit that her reasoning does make sense. Such enhancement seems to be too weak for the ascension of a lesser vampire to a true vampire, right?
"Well, I feel that the enhancement isn't done yet. I feel that it's ongoing. Maybe I'll still grow an inch or two?" Ian spread his hands innocently, but secretly, he already consumed biomass to increase his height to another meter.
Suddenly, from 3.75, Ian grew to 4.75 meters under Liz, Barseagle, and others' shocked gaze.
Along with the increase in height, his muscle mass, bone density, and weight had increased proportionally. Yet, with the adjustment of the system, he doesn't look like a mass monster. On the contrary, he looks like a lean Greek god with a golden ratio proportion like that of David Laid. It could be said that he has more muscle mass than the Incredible Hulk now.
As for strength? Well, although he was bigger than Hulk. He could only eat a fart compared to Hulk, who can increase his strength from anger. But in terms of baseline strength, of course, he was superior! Provided that Hulk doesn't have the blessing of anger.
Ian chuckled internally. This is a Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today! It's better to show them than to explain!
"Fuck!" Daniel swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat as he saw such a rapid transformation.
He didn't have a choice but to turn his head up and look at Ian's towering figure. His silhouette alone blocks his vision of the sky due to his size and his close proximity to him...
Daniel felt as if he was in front of a living mountain. The pressure on Ian's body was no less than their captain at all!
Ian opened his panel.
Increased Bone Density.
Skeletal Claws (retractable), Body Size (+3 meters) Increased Muscle Mass.
Ian couldn't help but feel emotional. He was only short of .25 to reach the same size as a true werewolf. At that time, his strength wouldn't be worse than Captain Barseagle's.
Nah, with his current 4-meter body size, his strength should be infinitely close to their captain now, right?
Three days later, under Barseagle's lead. They fought there to the border of the blood realm. Although the group hasn't encountered werewolves. A lot of wild beasts attacked them. There was even a close encounter with a Grade 1 Predator at night.
There's no doubt that only annihilation of the team would happen if they fought with the Grade 1 Predator. Even Barseagle and Ian won't be able to do much against such a boss-level creature.
"This is the border. Outside is the Asura Wilderness. The war might have ended five years ago due to casualties on both sides. But the peace is only on the surface. Skirmishes are happening between us vampires and werewolves."
"This peaceful period is just a cover for the battle of information. Spies on both sides go deep to gather information that will give an advantage once war starts again."
"I've even heard that the Vampire Council had sent the elite team to assassinate the promising seedlings in the werewolf race this time." Barseagle gave his team members a brief background about the border. "Same us as they've sent their own in our border in hopes of acquiring valuable information. It is our mission to eliminate them one by one!"
