The Greatest Sinner

There were only six Rare books in the library in Vampire City and one unique Rare spellbook, Epic. Evan had never before encountered a weapon or spellbook of this level. This was new to him, and he wanted to see how useful this spell was.

But, first, Evan decided to read all the Rare spellbooks, and choose one spell for his own use. He wanted to understand better how blood magic worked, and for that, he needed practice. Moreover, even among the Rarity - Uncommon spells, there were many exciting specimens. Evan was sure that higher rarity spells would only get better.

One of the Rare spells was a Creation Magic spell called - "Bloody Wall of Wounds."

This spell was a high wall of blood, on the back of which there were many bloody spikes. This spell was very useful if a mage was facing a lot of not, particularly strong opponents. They would die being put on the spikes. But, this spell worked pretty well against larger and stronger opponents as well..

The wall was strong enough to withstand several blows from a monster of the first rank with two flames. What's more, the bloody spikes didn't shatter but got stuck in the enemy's skin, causing him a lot of trouble.

Evan was curious about such a spell, but he had no intention of learning it. Something like that wasn't his style, he wanted something more challenging and more daring. He wanted to get from blood magic, powerful spells with unusual effects.

The next spell on the line was the Crimson Wolf Claw. It was an Amplification Magic spell. When it was used, three claws of blood appeared on the mage's hands. This spell was helpful for those who mostly fought with their bare hands. Such claws, could significantly increase their combat potential. Evan put this spell aside as well, it was quite curious, but Evan wanted something more spectacular.

"Sacrificial Chains..." muttered Evan as he read the names of another Amplification Magic spell.

When this spell was used, several tattoos appeared on the mage's chest in the form of bloody, prickly chains. Every minute these chains absorbed the mage's blood, but in return, increased his physical power by about 10%.

It was a powerful spell, but Evan knew plenty of other ways to sacrifice his life force effectively.

After a while, Evan looked through all the Rare spellbooks, and finally decided on a choice. One spell became his undisputed favorite.

It was a spell called - Ruthless Piranha Jaws.

It was a Creation Magic spell, but somewhat similar to Summoning Magic spells. The essence of this spell was that the mage created a toothy jaw from blood, and it was powerful enough to bite off a large chunk of flesh from a first-rank monster with three flames. But, that was not the most interesting detail of this spell.

The more the bloody jaw absorbed blood from other creatures, the stronger it became. The jaw could not grow stronger indefinitely, there was a certain limit, which was equal to twice its power. Moreover, the next time Evan used this spell, the jaw would revert back to its previous state.

Evan decided to choose this spell because it was powerful and incredibly effective in a long battle.

But, this spell had one serious disadvantage, it was extremely difficult to master. "Ruthless Piranha Jaws" was not a Summoning Magic spell, which meant it was pretty hard to control the jaws.

Evan had to be very focused and attentive. He had to watch his actions and his bloody jaw. But, Evan was not afraid of such difficulties, on the contrary, they only added to his interest in learning this spell.

"Alright, it's time to move on to the best part, the main course of the day." Mumbled Evan and picked up the only spellbook of rarity, Epic, in this library.

The spellbook was called Hell Vampire Wings. As the name implied, you could use this spell to create wings and even fly. However, it wasn't as simple as it might seem at first glance, this spell had a lot of mysteries behind it.

<Hmm, I hadn't seen Nessa or Virion fly, but they couldn't have been unaware of the existence of this spell. What's more, I didn't notice any vampires in the whole town using this spell. Why didn't anyone study it? What's the problem?"> Evan thought and continued reading.

After a while, Evan put the book aside and thought about it. He found out the reason why any vampire had not used this spell. It was simple-it required a special body constitution to use this spell.

But, after a second, Evan smiled. After all, such a condition wasn't a problem for him. He thought his body constitution was appropriate.

<The book says that in order to use this spell, a vampire must have demonic energy in his body. I'm not a vampire, but I have plenty of demonic energy in my body.>

Evan thought and went to the training ground. Evan wasn't sure if he could do it, but he felt that the most important condition had demonic energy.

...

For the next few weeks, Evan practiced using these two spells. It took him an enormous amount of time to learn how to control Ruthless Piranha Jaws at the entry level. But now he had no problem ripping some monster apart without even going near it. He was pleased with the power of the spell as he watched the bloody jaws destroy a very sturdy dummy. 

Using these jaws, Evan would be able to defend and attack, depending on his opponent. This spell had many functions.

Luckily Evan was able to use Hell Vampire Wings. He turned out to be right. Because of the amount of demonic energy in his body, he was able to use this spell. Initially, Evan wasn't able to cast this spell. He thought he couldn't learn it because he wasn't a vampire. However, he later realized that it was because of the extreme difficulty of this spell.
