The Vampire Cat System

Although there were no downsides in going to the storage place of the military base, Bernard still thought he needed to be cautious, especially after his vampire instinct started to scream at him, this made him understand there was likely a stronger demon beast within the buildings.

On his way he made sure to always be on guard as much as possible, after all there was no downside in being extra careful, he didn't want to mistakenly alert a powerful demon beast around the area even if he could recover his energy points that didn't mean he could also do the same for his Health points as well.

As he walked from room to room, his vampire instincts gradually became louder and louder as well, it was as if he was walking into the next of demon beasts, at this moment even though he couldn't see the demon beast due to them being far away from his position, he could still sense them with his perception.

Bernard couldn't help but curse inwardly because he could literally feel that there were both magical and demon beasts everywhere and if not for the fact he had been using his perception sense to navigate around, he was sure he would have long been spotted by them.

If it were just weak magical beast and few in numbers Bernard would have considered coming out to kill them in order to gain more experience points, however, he could feel the moment he struck one like lightning, and as if a chain reaction it would definitely attract the attention of the others so fast that even if he wanted to escape from their clutches it definitely wouldn't be unscathed, and this was why he didn't want to risk it, the benefit of fighting a siege of magical and demon beast wasn't worth it.

He was already being brave and courageous enough to have not run away for his life by now, not to talk about fighting in an unfavorable situation where if he wasn't careful he could even die, even though he knew the experience he got from killing these magical and demon beasts was extremely tempting but the moment he proceeded to fight it wouldn't be like back then when he had to fight ten Dracolizards at once.

He was sure the numbers would amount to hundreds all coming at him from all corners, not even Blood Menace and Casting endless Blood Judgment would work in such situation at best he would be able to hold them back for as much as his health points could last and then he would have no choice but to run for his life.

Bernard continued to hide and take turns when he noticed a magical or demon beast was coming his way, he couldn't help but feel like he had suddenly become a ninja who was hiding in the shadows, eventually, after walking for a while he had finally reached the storage place belonging to the military base, Bernard couldn't help but smirk to himself, before him stood two large steel gate like doors shut tightly against each other, as he walked towards the large gate he placed both his hands on them.

The moment he did, he could feel not only was the gate extremely heavy but even if he wanted to push it open he couldn't, it wasn't that he wasn't strong enough it was just that the gate had been sealed in a way that it couldn't be opened even with force, Bernard couldn't help but fall into contemplation compared to what he had thought, it definitely wasn't going to be easy if he wanted to open the gate, what's worse was that there was no handle whatsoever on the body of the gate.

He would have loved to test some of his symbiote abilities and skills on them, however, he was afraid of making too much noise and in the process attracting the attention of the magical and demon beast around the area, so he began to think long and hard, and after a while he decided to look around the edges of the gate, to see if there was any openings or secret hideout that he had failed to notice when he had entered before.

Bernard kept looking around the room for a while, however, just like he thought before there was no secret passageway or any entrance he had failed to notice before, so the only choice he had was to either go back empty-handed or use force in breaking the gate which in the process would alert the magical and demon beast in the areas which wasn't worth it, however, he didn't want to easily give up, but then all he could see were several statues placed here and there in the room.

Although he wasn't too optimistic about anything happening, nevertheless, he still went towards the statues and began to touch them and see if he moved or touched them in a certain way they would move and then a secret passageway would pop put, however to his greatest disappointed he had touched and moved over several statues in the room but yet nothing had happened.

Just as he was about to start moving towards the next statue that was when he saw a statue that had the same crest as the one on his chest, however, the one on the statue was currently empty as if it had been taken away by someone, Bernard couldn't help but be surprised, but still brought out the silver bronze crest on his military jacket and placed it on the position of the missing crest.

The moment Bernard did, he realize nothing happened and was about to remove the crest that was when he heard a creaking noise come out from the statue before him and then began to move, however, that wasn't all because not only was the statue in front of him moving but all the statues in the room were moving and at the same time, making creaking noises all at once, while this was happening he could hear mechanical noises and sounds of something like a combination clicking and opening.

When Bernard heard this he became slightly afraid the sound might have alerted the magical and demon beast he the area, however, to his greatest surprise nothing of such happened, it seemed like the environment was currently releasing and instantly absorbing the sounds that were coming out, only this time the clicking and clunking sound began to become less and until gradually stopped, and he couldn't hear any sounds again.
