Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

[The Kutlu's second test has been cleared to an above-perfect level!

This is the item that drops with the death of Sun Vampire Vladimir: "Sun Vampire's Core"]

Vladimir was stunned when he saw the item James had been given as a room reward. The old vampire wiped away his tears and tried to compose himself, though embarrassed that he had shown this to those around him.

"Sit on the ground and consume this core. There's a chance that you might actually be a Half-Sun Vampire now." Vladimir said, and James' attention was drawn back to him with those words.

"I don't understand, I already drank your blood, Master Vladimir, I told you I didn't want to lose my humanity," said James, and with these words, Emily's voice was heard after a long time.

"I think it's time to accept something, James."

Everyone seemed as surprised as James at Emily's words.

"Auntie?" James suddenly said.

"Can't you see, you're trying to be like our ancestor Desmond, but our ancestor himself thought you could be more, so he pushed everything this far. He pinned his hopes on you. I'm sure no one will care if you're human or not, as long as you keep being you, there will always be someone around," Emily added, more convincingly than necessary.

"You say that well, but being a vampire? I'm not going to go and feed on blood every day, am I?" James suddenly said.

Vladimir shook his head when he heard this and then asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"

James rolled his head when he heard this question and then said, "You know, vampires and stuff, they drink blood, they want human blood and stuff."

After these words, Vladimir put one hand on his chest as if offended by James' words and then said, "How dare you, I am a Sun Vampire, my energy comes from the sun and the moon itself, I don't need blood or anything else, don't compare me with our subraces, average vampires."

I could tell that Vladimir was really offended. Even though there was still a huge depressive feeling over the old soul, the desire to help James seemed to make him more energetic.

"Umm...I'm sorry...I guess?" replied James, not really knowing what to say, stopped by the strangeness of Vladimir's expression.

"Whatever, just consume this core." Vladimir suddenly said, and with that, James suddenly crouched cross-legged on the floor and found the Sun Vampire Core in his inventory.

The thing he had pulled out of his inventory was glowing crimson, strangely alluring.

"This core contains some of my bloodline power. If you process it properly, any vampires you meet in the future will be kinder to you since they will feel what you consumed," Vladimir said, and with that, James popped the pill-sized core into his mouth.

With that, he instantly realised that no change had occurred in his body. Of course, the spirits surrounding him were surprised, especially Vladimir, who could not understand what was happening.

"Well?" James asked, and Vladimir's expression changed as he heard this.

"Aren't you... How come? Aren't you human?" Vladimir suddenly asked, and when he saw the confused expression on James' face, he added, "Your body has no reaction to this core that can cause a reaction even for other races."

At that moment, Abby's voice was heard:

"Sir, James' body is a bit special, please take a look at his mana rings," said Abby with a glowing smile.

There could be no other way to describe Vladimir's astonishment at the sight of James' body.

His mouth was agape and his gaze seemed to be a very smooth narrative going on from the fact that his eyes were an inch apart.

"How is it that your magic rings are refined with the elements, and it's blood elemental on top of that? Are you kidding me?"

It didn't take Vladimir long to recover from his bewildered questions, but he still had a natural difficulty in understanding what had happened.

It was possible to have only two basic powers in a body. Either the aura and elemental, which were the main foundation, were in the body, or the magic and elemental, which were the main foundation, were in the body. This was what had puzzled Vladimir, and even the gods and goddesses before him.

James's magic rings were literally elaborated according to the number of elements he was predisposed to and refined with those elements. Instead of someone experiencing a 50% increase in magic power, that is, mana, in each magic ring, this revealed a different effect.

This meant that James' refined magic rings were adding almost 100% mana to him in each formation.

This was the main reason why James' magic power was uncontrolled, even with the status increase. Despite the control he had, James was home to an enormous amount of mana. The only reason his body didn't explode from all that mana was because the aura in his body was protecting his body.

"Unbelievable. I've never heard or seen anything like this in my entire life..." said Vladimir, who seemed to have managed to pull himself together.

"So what now, now that I've swallowed the core, what do we do now?" James suddenly asked and with that, Vladimir smiled.

James was frankly frightened by Vladimir's smile. He couldn't help thinking for a few seconds about how much what he was about to hear was likely to make him shudder.

With that, Vladimir looked at James and then began to speak.

"Now young man, we are going to do something that will be of more use to you. You have the blood element but you are still a human being, even from the quality of your body I can see that you have been refined at least two or three times and on top of that your magic rings have been refined. This means that you don't need to give up your humanity at all to pass the 75th floor." Vladimir continued with a gentle smile on his face.
