>> [Blood Poison]:

The basic ability for Blood mages, a rare class that has only ever been acquired by a few. Upon activation converts the user's blood into a potent poison that can be used to harm others. The user themselves are immune to this poison.

Once the blood poison enters someone's body, it starts inflicting continuous damage of 1% HP for 5 seconds. This ability can be stacked innumerable times. But at risk of the opponent obtaining a bit of tolerance if this skill is used too much on them. However, the opponent will not get total immunity to the poison under any circumstance.

Grade: Low (F grade)

Damage: 1% of total HP

Condition to upgrade: The skill automatically upgrades with the grade of the user.

The skill itself wasn't anything game-changing. As the blood had to somehow enter the opponent's body. That was the trickiest part of using the skill. As the description mentioned, this skill belonged to the mages, who weren't proficient in fighting using weapons. Thus it was hard for them to use the skill to its maximum potential.

However, in the right hands, the skill could be deadly. That was the reason why it was considered to be one of the rarest skills any vampire could obtain. Thankfully, Ashton knew what he was doing.

By smearing his blood on the blades, he had just made the blades much deadlier than before. Now the problem of getting his blood inside the body of his enemy was solved and all he needed to do was to put the ability to a test.

'I originally wanted to test this out along with [Aggravate], but looks like I'll have to leave that plan for some other day.'

Ashton couldn't help but let out a smile when he saw Bella fidgeting around. She had no idea why the hell her skill was not working on him. It had always worked before on the others, but not on him.

She kept thinking about it while keeping her distance. But it seemed Ashton did not have as much patience as her. He wanted the fight to be over as quickly as possible so he could get back to the cottage before the mistress got suspicious.

He charged towards Bella, with a blade on each side of him. It appeared without her charms, she was nothing to be afraid of. Ashton decided that going for her limbs would be the best course of action as he did not want to give her any previous wound. especially with a power he had never used before on anyone.

However, before he could put his plan into action, Bella took him by surprise and shot a stream of fire out of her palm. The change was so sudden, Ashton was barely able to dodge the attack in time. If it hadn't been for his overly developed perception skill, he would have turned into fried chicken right then and there.

'This fcking bitch!' Ashton breathed heavily, 'I was being considerate to not hurt her too badly and she decided to fry me? That's it. No mercy.'

Being considerate about one's opponent was a foolish thing to even think about. But as Ashton wasn't thinking of this as a battle, he was going easy on her. But no more.

'Don't even think about it.' Rose's voice echoed in his head a mere moment before Ashton was about to activate his undead genes, 'Are you retarded or what? There are so many eyes on you. You think this is the right time to use something none of them has ever seen before?'

Ashton was a bit frustrated at this point. But he could see sense behind what Rose was saying. It would be stupid of him to do something like that. Not to mention, if someone recognised that he was using undead and vampire abilities simultaneously, they might even connect the dots between him and the death of the bloodsuckers back in Maddencreek.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down before replying to Rose, 'Thanks for your help.'

At the moment, he was a vampire and he had to fight like one. Which meant, he would have to use his brain for a change.

'She can use fire as well... I don't have any skills to counter that. I can't use Nemean Hide either. It would throw away my identity. This leaves me with one choice... gotta use agility to my advantage.'

"Kill him and get it over with!" All of a sudden the crowd started yelling.

It was to be expected since none of them had thought the fight would go on for this long. And the longer the fight dragged on, the higher was the chances that the odds would get messed up. None of them wanted that to happen.

Suddenly, Bella's fists erupted into flames. It looked like she wasn't going to hold back anymore. But there was an ace hiding in Ashton's sleeve. A move that will end their match in one shot.

Without wasting another moment, Bella shot her flames at Ashton, who for some reason, stayed rooted to his spot.

"Direct hit! It's all over folks! Don't forget to-" The announcer was so sure in Bella's ability he was already declaring her as the winner, however a moment later he saw something he couldn't believe, "How... when, when did Mr Virgin appear behind Bella?"

Before anyone could answer or process what had just happened, Ashton appeared right behind Bella and kicked her right in the head, sending her flying away to the opposite side of the cage.

The impact was so strong, she lost her consciousness. Just like that, her undefeated streak came to an end. Much to everyone's dismay and surprise. Everyone who had placed their bets on Bella was crying on the inside, while a couple of others were jumping around.

Even Rose was included in this group. The 3000 Blue units she had bet on Ashton's victory had been turned into about 45 thousand Blue Units! That was the kind of odds that Ashton was up against. But as usual, he overcame his troubles in style. However, inside his head, something else was going on...

'Why would a noble like Anna Swan compete in underground fights?' He thought as he viewed the information of 'Bella', 'I guess, we all have our secrets and circumstances. I shouldn't probe about it unnecessarily.'
