31 Release attempt and memories.

After a few more hours in the garden we went back to Chloe's room, i wanted to try releasing those souls from their torment and also see if i could learn anything about the culprits from them. Seated in lotus position on Chloe's bed i was observing the stone. It was shinning a mysterious blue, if i focused enough i could see numerous sphere of light shuttling inside it.

"Be careful things pertaining to the soul are always complex and dangerous." Chloe warned.

I nodded and told her not to worry, after all it was basically impossible for it to bring me any lasting harm.

I gathered my will and seeped my consciousness inside, i was greeted by a tempest of noise, most of it were broken sentences, scream and other weird stuff. I created a shield with my will, to stop this noise from driving me insane. In front of me there was a lot of floating glowing orbs, the number reached tens of thousands. I was horrified as i realised the implication of such a number. This 'harvesting' of souls was not recent, it should be a plan that was in motion since long ago because such a high number of deaths would've been noticed. They should have been doing this little by little covertly.

All those souls were emitting a sort of despairing feeling, an anguish that was hard to describe. After all some of them had been sealed in this stone for who knew how long. I thought a bit on how to free them and decided on a plan. I extended threads of will and reached those orbs. Instantly numerous information and feelings started to flow through my mind. A pain so deep it seemed to come from my soul resounded through me, i tried to stop the connection but it was useless. Soon more and more of those orbs reached out to me aggravating the pain, it felt like i was carrying an enormous weight, as if a planet was crashing on me. They seemed to have been carrying a huge burden, my arrival was as if an outlet appeared out of nowhere. I lasted the longest i could, the pain was slowly driving me insane, well until it didn't.

When i came to, i was still lying on Chloe's bed my hand firmly holding onto the soul stone. Chloe's face came into view. She had a worried frown, that eased as she saw me regain consciousness.

"I told you to be careful messing with souls."

"I know, sorry i was a bit rash." i said contrite. "How much time? since i passed out."

"3 hours and you didn't passed out, you died." she answered flinching a bit. Looking at her expression, i sighed softly rising from the bed i pulled her toward me and took her in my arms. She stilled.

"You shouldn't worry that much, remember our first meeting, and the reason you chose me to be your fake boyfriend at the time. I can't die, so don't make that face. "

"I know but i can't help it, even if i know you will be back, it's so daunting." she said relaxing in my arms.

"You're going to try again aren't you?" she asked after calming down.

"Yeah last time i wasn't prepared for all the anger, despair and agony. Plus i feel much stronger." It was true it seemed that this death brought me a big upgrade.

I discretely consulted my status.

'Damn!! who would have thought that my will power would make such a massive breakthrough! I could feel i became stronger but i didn't know it was by that much. I should really take time to experiment with my original ability, as the circumstance of my deaths really factor in how powerful i become after.'

"Yeah now that you mention it, your aura feel more powerful. It's even stronger than a True vampire of two thousand years." she realised a little shocked. Even though she was aware of me becoming more powerful after a death, she didn't feel it was too abnormal considering the fact that she didn't know my race, maybe she thought it was one of it's innate traits. Also she herself was abnormal, so her ability to judge was skewed. At seven, she was already more powerful than a 800 years old True vampire. But know she truly realised how broken was my ability in just 3 hours i changed from being able to contend with a few hundreds years old vampire to be more powerful than an elder in the vampire community.

"Actually could you explain to me how is it you vampires judge power among yourself?" i asked curious.

"Sure. It's like this, Turned vampires are generally weaker than Born vampires who themselves are weaker than True vampires. Beside that, age is the most prevalent indicator of power. Below hundreds years we are called infant vampire, 100 to 1000 years blood child, 1000 to 2000 years vampire lord, beyond 2000 are elders. The more aged a vampire is the more powerful he become. For a normal vampire blood purity to reach a True vampire, a few thousands years are required. But those indicator were loose at best in the past, because of the fact that a normal vampire could chance upon a miraculous encounter, or blood of a powerful creature allowing him to rise to power instantly. It was like that in the Legendary era but nowadays it's rare."

"I see, so it's not fixed other factors exist."

"Yeah exactly, but you can used it most of the time to judge power levels of vampires, oh yes, Lycans too. It's similar in a way."

"Anyway i am going to try again."

"Alright be more careful" she was reassured this time as i became strong enough.

"yeah i will." i answered seriously.

I took a deep breath and went inside the soul stone again. This time the familiar scene of those orbs and the dreary atmosphere didn't overwhelmed me, my will power became so powerful that i could actively look for the information i wanted without being crushed by the feelings of hate and agony. After a time i found what i was looking for. The information came to me using my will as the guide. A series of images flashed through my mind, it was a memory.

'This....it is the memory of an old soul, a lycan he seemed to have been a teen when he was taken.'

'At least i know who the head of the enemies is, and the symbol of this group now. Maybe Chloe will have an idea about an organisation with a green serpent as their symbol.'
