My Daughter is a Vampire

142 Elements and New Power System

"I don't mind teaching you but you have to awaken an element. Without awakening an element, nobody can train. How about we wait for him to wake and test your affinity?" Zila asked.

"Thank you for giving us a chance! How about we go inside and talk?" Brian walked next to James and picked him up as he spoke.

"Oh yes, I have brought food for all of us. Let's wait for him to wake up and eat." Zila followed him inside the tent. It was quite big from the inside.

And, there were lines of tables and computers.

"Wow! What are these?" Zila was stunned seeing the interior. She quickly ran toward the tables and asked while pointing at the virtual displays.

"Those are displays. They are connected to the actual computers which allow us to code and control many things inside this tent." Brian simplified the explanation as much as possible when he answered.

"You mean, control these arms? It's amazing. So, you can just let this metal arm do your work. Is this the technology of your world? It feels so advanced. Although we also have something like this mechanical arm, it is basically a pulley that requires the strong Earth Element users to use it."

"And, is that the smartphone you are creating? Can it really help me talk to others from a far distance without using Whispering Stones? By the way, how do these work?"

"For Whispering Stone, we need to record our voice and use our element to lock it properly then send it to the person we want to talk to. Then, after that person uses a certain pattern of his element, he can unlock the whispering stone and hear our voices."

Seeing Zila's excitement, Brian was surprised. He put down James and started explaining to her. His daughters went back to work.

After fifteen minutes, James finally woke up. His bruises and wounds were gone and he was feeling extremely energetic.

"How long did I pass out?" James's memories were still blurry when he asked that question. He looked at Brian and the others staring at him.

Bam!

Brian raised his hand and smacked his chest.

"You dare to ask that after doing such a reckless thing." Brian shouted at him. He was truly worried because that protein was only a prototype. If it doesn't succeed, James would be in serious danger.

"I knew you had my back, buddy." James covered his chest as he smiled and answered.

Brian was left speechless but he also felt good. He couldn't bring himself to scold his friend anymore. But, Julia wasn't done yet. She started scolding him and crying.

After all, she was still a child and she blamed herself for using that code on James. Even though she knew the consequences of doing so. Brian and James spend the next ten minutes calming her down.

"You didn't have to go that far. But now I am sure that you can do something in the tournament. We just have to train you even more." Zila spoke after Julia calmed down.

"So, are you going to teach me?" James looked at her with a surprised gaze and asked.

"Well, your friend here promised to teach me this awesome stuff called 'Science' so I agreed. So, are you ready?" Zila asked.

"Of course, I am." James instantly got up from the bed but Brian pushed him down.

"You need to rest and.." Brian looked at her and continued "We need to eat."

After that, they finished their food. They talked a lot during dinner. After dinner, Zila took out a crystal ball and started teaching them about the element.

"Every person, even if they are not from our universe possesses certain elements except for some exception."

"Once you awaken your element, you can feel a nebula inside your consciousness. This nebula holds a cluster of stars that can devour the primordial energy and slowly grow."

"As it grows, it produces the elemental energy related to your element and fills your body with it. This is how we cultivate our powers. Since our elemental energy is much superior to your mana, it has a lot of potentials and can even tap into higher dimensions."

"Now, let's start with the first stage of what we call awakening. In this state, you form a nebula with a single star. As the star grows in number, you would need to form a certain connection with each nebula using your elemental technique."

"So, let's start! Touch this crystal and let the energy flow inside your body. Once it tigers the element inside you, it will change its color and awaken your powers."

She put the crystal in front of them on a table and let them touch them one by one. First, it was Julia who was the most excited about this new power system. Because she was still young, she didn't get stronger instead put all of her time into tech.

And her technology proved to be much more powerful than the power she would gain from training, so she never trained.

She quickly put her hand on the crystal and the crystal turned green. Seeing this color, Zila looked at Julia with surprise and said "Well, you have Wind Element. Congratulation! Wind Element is known for its speed and versatility."

Julia didn't find it awesome. She pouted.

"I was expecting cool powers like Light or Dark or Space or Time."

"Little girl, those are the powers that you can't awaken. Only the descendant of gods might awaken it through their bloodline but not us. There are several elements. Light and Dark are two extremely rare among those."

"So, the chances of you awakening them is pretty slim."

Julia pouted and turned away. Ely walked forward and put her hand on the crystal. Now, it turned red.

Seeing the red color, Zila nodded her head and said "You awakened Fire Element. Good! It possesses extremely powerful attack power. If you manage to perceive the dimension, you can easily burn the space around you."

"Well, I guess except for the Blood, this is the ability that I had a close link with." Ely sighed and walked away.

Finally, Brian walked toward the crystal and put his hand on the crystal.

Ten Second Passed, Twenty Seconds Passed...… One Minute Passed

Nothing happened. It surprised everyone including Brian.

"You don't have an element. Wait, if I remember correctly, The Only One removed the ability to absorb Zero-Point Energy for humans, right? I guess you don't have the element inside you." Zila looked at him with pity as she explained.

"I also thought so." Brian heavily sighed and put his hand away.

'Damn it! I really need to finish the escape project as soon as possible so that we can leave this place. Once my mind is at peace, I will enter the Chaos Online and get stronger.'

"Daddy, don't be sad! You still have us." Julia walked near him and pulled his hand as she spoke.

"Don't worry, I am not sad. I was just disappointed. Anyway, I guess its James' turn." Brian patted her head with a smile and looked at James.

"Brian, you don't need to feel disappointed about this. As I said before, there are some exceptions who can't awaken the element. And, being the human, you are one of the exceptions."

"I had the feeling that you had daughters of different races but now I am pretty sure. It seems like you are really good with women." Zila smiled and spoke as she winked at him.

"Back off, lady! Our dad doesn't need you. He already has enough." Ely instantly got defensive as she stood in front of Zila.

"Don't worry, I won't chase your father. I already have someone that I have set my eyes on." Zila sneaked a glance at James. She looked at him perfectly at the moment when he was looking at the crystal.

So, only Ely and Brian noticed her gaze. They found it strange for a moment. But Zila quickly distracted them with her words.

"Anyway, let's see if James awakens an element or not. I found his blood very powerful, especially after what you said, Brian. I think he can awaken more than one element."

"Wait, my bloodline is also strong. Why didn't I awaken more than one element?" Ely shouted at her.

Zila shook her head and said "Although you have a strong bloodline, it shouldn't be that strong. I mean if you had a powerful bloodline you could've awakened more than one element."

"That being said, I suspect James can awaken more than two elements."

James felt a little bad hearing her words. He took a deep breath and put his hand on the crystal. The next moment, the crystal glowed.

Red.... Blue...… Green..... Brown...… Purple...… Yellow.... Dark

At this moment, seven different colors appeared on the crystal and shocked everyone.

"S-s-s-ven elements? How? How is this possible? How can anyone awaken Seven Elements?" Zila freaked out as her voice was shaken.

"Didn't you say the descendant of the gods can?" Ely asked.

"Of course, I did not. I said they might have a special element, not awaken all elements. Even the descendant of gods can't." Zila looked into his eyes and asked.

"Who are you?"
