My Daughter is a Vampire

“Just how long will it take to reach there?” James turned his head and asked.

“We already told you fifteen times. It will take a whole week.” Brian was annoyed by his question. He felt James was too impatient but then he thought about it, James was truly impatient from childhood.

He couldn’t do anything about it. It has only been three days. There are still four days before they finally reach their destination. So, he was hoping James would stay calm.

James stretched out his arms with a bored expression and sat in front of Ely. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind as he asked.

“Ely, how was I in your timeline? Was I dead or alive?”

Hearing this question out of nowhere, Ely was startled. But, she quickly calmed down and spoke.

“You didn’t actually appear too much in front of us. In fact, the only time we saw you were on some special occasion. Though you did hang out a lot with daddy inside New Gods.”

“You were the Vice-Guild Master of the guild that Daddy established. And, you were also very powerful. You tried to stop the battle between mother and mom but failed. After that failure, you almost disappeared.”

“We never saw you afterward.”

James was surprised that in another time Brian actually managed to establish the guild. Doesn’t that mean it only changed because his ID was deleted?

He looked at Brian and asked, “Do you think the Dragon Lord was the main reason behind the change in the timeline?”

When he asked this question, Brian, Ely, and Julia froze for a moment. For all this time, they were thinking that Brian was the major reason behind the change in the timeline but now, another possibility arises in their minds.

Three of them looked at each other.

‘Wait, the reason why my ID was deleted was none other than Dragon Lord’s involvement. He was the one who sent that bug to manipulate Allen. That means if he hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t be here.’

‘Wait, what kind of benefit would he gain if I continued playing New Gods and get stronger? Doesn’t he want to kill me? Wait a minute! Didn’t he send his soldiers to take Ely and others hostage to force me for helping him?’

‘Then, why did he change his mind? Why did he suddenly want to kill me now? Something doesn’t add up! He definitely found out something.’

“Daddy, do you think it is possible to utilize the tablet with our blood?” Julia asked.

Hearing his question, Brian fell into deeper thoughts.

‘If he could truly access the tablet with my blood, it would explain why he wanted to kill me. Does that mean he didn’t know the truth behind the tablet till a year ago?’

‘But then, it doesn’t make sense again. If it was true, then why did Dragon Lord let me get stronger in another timeline? Was it because he was good? Although there are chances, let’s not assume that.’

‘Let’s just assume that he had the tablet and wanted my blood. So, why did he let me grow and didn’t kill me?’

Suddenly, his eyes widened. He remembered his own words.

‘There is no one in the world that can kill me if I don’t mind sacrificing others.’

This made him serious as he asked himself.

‘Does that mean he knew about my powers?’

At this moment, his eyes widened even more. He started piecing things together as he finally came to the conclusion.

‘Power! Power is the reason behind my awakening my ability. The stronger I get, the more powerful my ability to control technology becomes. That means in that timeline, he was waiting for me to get stronger so that he can use my blood to awaken the tablet.’

‘That means what this timeline Dragon Lord is doing is wrong because of his ignorance. Wait, I should ask Julia about these powers.’

He quickly looked at his daughter and crouched down.

“Julia, tell me everything about our powers. Unlike me, you have done a lot of research and even managed to awaken Secret Gene Art. So, you must know more about these Genes than me.”

Julia nodded her head and started explaining.

“Our Genes are very strong due to their ability to control technology. Look!”

Julia closed her eyes and a strange aura covered her body. Suddenly, dozens of small chips and metals appeared around her and started combing in different patterns until they finally transformed into an arm.

The mechanical arm covered her arm as she showed it to him.

“I can control any kind of metal to form technology. I can give the consciousness to the metals or anything that can be transformed into technology.”

“And, sometimes, it feels like I can even summon technology. I have done it once. It was a fourth-dimensional tech from the other galaxy. I was testing my abilities and suddenly a fourth-dimensional gun appeared in front of me.”

“Not only that, but I can also do this.”

Julia closed her eyes once again and this time, she released ten times more aura from her body.

“Secret Gene Art”

“Enhancement!”

Julia released all of that aura into the mechanical arm and a strange transformation occurred. Before it still looked a bit like a robot at this moment, it became a pure silver skin.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the table next to her. She pointed her palm at the table and blue energy emerged out of her arm and covered the table.

Then, she moved the table to the side. The next moment, she changed the energy to red and the table burned to ashes.

She giggled as she looked at Brian and proudly explained.

“I can use the Gene Art to enhance the tech. Currently, I can not only make it stronger and more durable but also add telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and manakinesis.”

“Of course, the more I practice with my ability, the greater the power I can exert. I am currently learning to add Materiokinesis.”

“What’s Materiokinesis and Manakinesis?” James asked with confusion.

“Materiokinesis is an ability to manipulate matter around me. Manakinesis is the ability to control mana. In fact, Pyrokinesis and the other kind of elements fall under Elementumkinesis but Elementumkinesis falls under manakinesis.” Julia explained.

“Wait, doesn’t that mean you can control all kinds of elements with your powers?” James looked at her with wide eyes and asked.

Julia nodded her head and said “Right now, I can’t but soon, I will be able to. For me and daddy, as long as we utilize Secret Gene Art, we can manipulate technology to manipulate kinetic powers.”

“But, Sister Ely can’t do this so I have encoded the power to manipulate mana into her armor.”

Hearing her words, Brian’s eyes suddenly twinkled. He raised his hands and held his daughter’s shoulders. He had a tough attitude at first but suddenly, his expression changed to what others can say is cute.

“Julia, won’t you teach your daddy about these powers?”

Seeing him trying to act cute, Julia felt like seeing heaven. She gulped down her saliva and nodded her head.

“Yay! My daughter is best.” Brian hugged her and shouted with excitement. Although he knew he can find out his abilities by himself, he doesn’t want to waste years doing so.

He understood the reason why his daughter managed to learn these abilities was because of the time she spent on them. But, suddenly he felt chills behind his back.

“Humph!”

He turned around and saw Ely showing off jealousy. He quickly pulled her into his embrace.

“Of course, my daughters are the best. I wasn’t trying to say singular.”

Hearing his words, Ely finally calmed down.

“I do understand the fact that you want to learn this ability now but is it really a good time?” James asked from the sidelines.

Brian slowly raised his head and rolled his eyes.

“Of course, it is. If I can master this power, even if we face some threats, we can fight back. Besides, right now, my GMD is accepting your and Ely’s blood. Until it completes the absorption, I can transform into anyone for the battle.”

“By the way, this reminded me. What about your lifespan? Has it recovered?”

James nodded his head and said “Yep, not only it has recovered but I also managed to reach King Rank. Of course, it was thanks to Ely.”

Brian looked at Ely with confusion.

“Daddy, I haven’t shown you something.” Ely slowly gathered her courage and pulled out the soul of Elden.

Seeing him, Brian was frightened for a moment. But then he realized that it was under Ely’s control and calm down. He looked at her expression and saw the conflicting look in her eyes.

He patted her head and spoke.

“No matter what you do, I will always support you because I know my daughter won’t do anything evil unless she was forced to. Evil or good doesn’t matter.”

“As long as you can save the people you love, everything else doesn’t matter. It seems like this is our family way.”
