While Iris, Peter, Nevis, and Leila were talking about the Tomb of Roselia, Vincent was going through the markets in and outside the military academy to purchase blood of beasts, storing them in his inventory and purifying all of them in the safest and most private place in all of Xavier.
He was purifying them so that he would be able to drink them later on. He also needed them to amplify the targeted stats of his soon-to-be-created Bracelet of Strength.
<Your blood purification skill proficiency has increased to 80%>
‹You can no longer increase the proficiency of this skill by purifying the blood of beasts and monsters in the magical realm>
<Purify the blood of beasts and monsters at the rank of the demonic realm or human beings that have managed to open up at least one energy channel to increase your skill proficiency level>
Just as he finished purifying the nineteenth pack of blood inside the library of the military academy, a notification popped up in his mind, telling him about a few important things.
"Hmm, I guess it's going to take a bit longer for me to level up my skills than I initially thought," Vincent said in a slightly disappointed voice after finding out that he now needed to purify the blood of creatures in the demonic realm to increase the proficiency of his skill.
Whatever!
He focused on doing the most important thing for now.
Bleed the monster's corpses dry of their blood!
While still inside the privacy barrier of the library, he wore an oxygen mask connected to an oxygen tank, turned it on and entered the lifeless inventory with no sign of air or oxygen, placed a few tubs as big as a pool in the barren land before looking at the corpses of Grim Gores sprawled on the ground all around him.
"Time to get to work," Vincent said, cracking his knuckles, kicking the exhaustion in his body out the window.
He picked up the carcasses of the monsters, which didn't smell as the subspace prevented them from rotting for obvious scientific reasons. He placed the carcasses of the monsters in the huge tubs before landing a few slashes on each of them, producing rather large and deep wounds on their bodies from which blood seeped out and started to fill the tubs.
It will take a long time before the monsters are entirely drained of their blood, but it will happen in the end without any need for Vincent to supervise it, so he stepped out of the subspace, reappearing inside the privacy barrier.
He took off the oxygen mask from his face and the oxygen tank off his back before storing them inside the inventory of his black serpent ring.
He then sat down on a chair with one leg over the other, waiting for the equipment creator to call and notify him about the creation of the Bracelet of Strength.
A few moments later, once the equipment creator called Vincent, telling him that he has created the Bracelet of Strength and that it is waiting for him to pick it up, Vincent left the library and made his way to the equipment shop in a hurry.
He exchanged a few words of greetings with the equipment creator before picking up the box containing the bracelet of strength and going back to the most secured and easily accessible place on planet Xavier.
He opened the lid of the black box and saw a bracelet with three streaks of crimsons stretching all over its side, intertwining into the shape of a black shield in the center.
Vincent used his appraisal spell matrix on it to get a better look at its stats and properties.
[Item Name: Bracelet of Strength and Protection

Agility: + 3
Stamina: +8

Vincent's eyes brightened in happiness and amazement as he looked at the properties of the bracelet. The increase in stats was already impressive enough, but the huge deal of defense it provided to its wielder left him shocked. He knew about the special effects of the bracelet already but seeing it with his own eyes still came as a shock to him.
"I have obtained the impressive defense of the Behemoth Grim Gore!" Vincent exclaimed in joy, feeling as if he will have a class change to a tank after just wearing the Bracelet of Strength.
He shook his head, controlling his joy, and directed his attention to making it even better by using his mystical ability. He could significantly improve the stats of the Bracelet of Strength by fusing it with the blood of the beast. He needed to take a few steps for that to happen.
First step: Create a parasitic seed of fusion!
Vincent thought of creating a parasitic seed of fusion and the extraordinary supernatural cells inhabiting his bloodstream released a suction force so strong that a few units of Mana present in his heart got forcefully pulled towards them, getting ferociously devoured by the supernatural cells in order to give birth to a seed of fusion.
‹ You've used 4 units of Mana to activate your supernatural power, Power of Evil ›
‹ The activation of your ability has created a parasitic seed of fusion that can infest any liquid and energy, giving them the ability to fuse with any matter ›
Just as these notifications sounded in his mind, a black dot-like substance suddenly manifested in front of him, wriggling about in thin air. Vincent could feel a deep connection with this thing as it was something he has created by himself. He could tell that he was able to control it with a single thought.
This will help him immensely in completing the second step!
