221 The Sealing Array (I): Plans and Fangs

"So you said you're going to tell me how to increase my rank. Whatever it is you have to tell me, I hope it's not to costly." I said to Baeki as I finished breaking about a dozen of the seals around her castle.

"Well it is costly, but not in the manner that you think of. Remember I once said that vampires were creatures of the supernatural, just as much as science. There's much about us that hard facts and research can't understand. And one of these things, is the method to evolve, or as you say grow in rank. To do so, you only have to one thing."

I raised an eyebrow as I dusted my coat, and gave Baeki all of my attention.

"You have to take the power of your enemies, you have to drink the blood of the people you defeat, and to do so, you have to learn to use the power of your fangs." she answered me with a smile.
