SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Under the mountains

Paths in the Crimson Mountains never stayed the same. Just like the fog, this was also one of the mysteries of the vampire territory.

It was a common legend that there were magical formations beneath every one of these mountains. These formations made sure that the location of two mountains never stayed the same for more than a few hours.

A road that existed at dawn could be a cliff by dusk. A pass you trusted yesterday might be swallowed whole by a root-backed slide the next hour.

That meant travel here was never about maps alone. Drivers and scouts earned their stripes by reading the skies rather than the ground. There was an entire network of vampires dedicated to this.

However, the information was only available to high-tier nobles. Commoners like him had to either cough up the gold coins for the carriage rides or go through endless struggles just to reach a random place.

There were instances where many had died directly because of this issue. The only saving grace was that there weren’t any C rank or above monsters in the territory. There were mostly only harmless F rank beasts or slightly annoying D rank and E rank beasts.

Players could still die to those beasts if they got caught off guard. A wrong step, a collapsed path, a surprised burrowed thing, and one was done before they could blink. Damon had died many times like this in his last life.

Now things had changed so much that he was casually hiring a carriage just to not waste time and procrastinate about the other things on his to-do list. He chuckled inwardly as he turned to look at the elven girl who was now fast asleep.

At least now she was comfortable enough to fall asleep, which was progress.

Damon took out a skill book while he waited. His hands had been itching since he had bought them, and this seemed as good a time as any to start learning everything.

With a big smile on his face, he mentally activated the first skill book. [Blood Sense]. This was the skill book he was most excited about. He wanted to see if he could somehow combine it with his primordial senses and boost the power of the skill.

[Blood Sense (Passive, D rank): You subtly sense blood and blood auras in the nearby areas.]

The explanation was simple, but Damon felt a rush of information flooding his brain as he learned the skill, and the skill book in his hand disappeared. He closed his eyes and focused on everything. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Even though he already knew how to reach out and get a feel for blood auras, he still paid attention to the skill book contents. After some time, he closed his eyes and tried to sense the blood auras nearby.

There were mostly small ones, probably of the demonic beasts around them. Damon then focused and really tried to sense the world around him, activating his primordial senses. The next second, everything changed.
