'If I could use dimensional movement, there would be nothing to fear, but in front of such powerful eyes, I can't use it. It would be too dangerous...' He thought.

He needed something different.

Something that came from the vampiric power itself.

Naturally, he is confident in his skills and ability.

He is sure he can win if he fights without showing his most powerful abilities. The problem is that the probability is not 100% when he is facing off against someone with 5,000 power.

This is not a fight where he is putting his life on the line; here, assassination tactics are forbidden, and that lowers his ability considerably. He can't shoot to kill, so he must think carefully about what he should do in case he gets hit.

'That means I should only rely on my physique, that little sword, and my vampiric power...' He thought while trying to think of a way.

He looked around his room, trying to find something to inspire him.

Then he looked at some books lying on a small table.

'I grabbed them from the library. I forgot to read them...' Matt thought and walked over to the small table where they were.

The books had the names on the top, so he read them and was drawn to one of them.

-The Dance of Vampiric Power.

It said in the name. When he saw the title, he remembered why he grabbed it, so he picked it up and sat on the bed to read.

When he lacks ideas and has no inspiration to think of what to do about something that is bothering him, he tends to read a lot.

That may be why his ideas are sometimes strange, but they work for him.

As he began to read, he smiled as he realized that this book was not a story or something similar.

Actually, it is a theory.

The book doesn't say who created this theory, but it says it was created over 10 million years ago.

The Flame Theory and the Vampire Power Dance.

It is a theory that tries to say that vampiric power can be used as flames; it explains very well why it is believed that it is possible to do that, and the idea is to make vampiric power dance like an unquenchable flame.

Still, although there are detailed explanations, in the end, they lead to nothing.

It is a theory that has never been confirmed. It seems powerful from how the text describes it, but the problem is that it has yet to be proven.

'Whoever wrote it could not be a vampire. It's possible he could have been a human-vampire because what he explains goes very well with the body of a human being who controls fire.' Matt thought and skimmed through several more things until he closed the book.

He stood up and looked at the sky again, thinking different things.

'Making vampiric power dance... It sounds simple, but I don't understand what it means. From the way it's explained in the book, the idea is to make vampiric power dance in your body to achieve greater versatility...' He thought and frowned.

'Versatility? Dancing? That goes very hand in hand with Vampiric Power Control...' Matt thought and quickly turned around to read some more things from the book.

Soon, he was able to find what he was looking for...

-The Vampire Power Dance depends entirely on the vampire's Control Ability.

It is said in the book.

Matt then felt a small lamp light up over his head, and his eyes glowed slightly as he thought of a fascinating new tactic that could come out of this...

Without thinking, he ran out of his room.

Soon, he reached the practice room; he didn't turn on the puppets because that's not what he was coming to.

He stood in the middle of the room and unleashed his vampiric power all at once.

'Controlling Vampiric Power is not that easy. That's why many don't try to increase their rank in those tests. It's enough for them to have the bare minimum because that's a different path they walk. They walk the path of an explosive power, similar to a berserker skill.'

'But, in my experience, that path always brings problems in the long run because that path will be associated with a lot of evil feelings and not being able to control yourself. That's why it's always better to try to control your own power.'

'That means okay, Professor Reagan's research is right. Control must be the beginning of everything; if you don't control your own power at some point, you're going to fall to it... I once heard that the hunters in China called it 'Inner Demons'.' Matt thought.

His unleashed vampiric power created a relatively atmospheric solid pressure, but the more he thought, the more the atmospheric pressure reduced.

As his thoughts roamed back and forth, he, too, tried to control his power.

This time, he was not showing low power as on previous occasions, nor was he restricting it to come out through a single limb of his body. On the contrary, here he was, letting the power go out to all four parts, and it was coming out as gusts of air.

That made it much more complicated to control the power, but...

A smile appeared on his face.

'I hadn't thought of it before, but... Isn't this a good way to improve my ability to control?' He thought.

The power unleashed from side to side was churning and slamming into the surroundings with force, but gradually, the pressure with which it was slamming was reduced.

It was as if the power was disappearing as if Matt was absorbing it back into his body, but it wasn't.

The vampiric power was undoubtedly present in the room in the same form as when he unleashed it. It's just that Matt was making a great effort to try to control it.

So, seconds soon turned into minutes, and tens of minutes passed...

The sweat on Matt's face began to fall.

He was not only trying to control his power, but his head was also full of thoughts swirling back and forth like a torrent.

Soon, he took a deep breath when he felt that everything around him had calmed down.

He looked to his right and then to his left.

Everything was calm.

His vampiric power was still there, but it was no longer out of control like before.

Right now, he was in a calm state.

He then smiled...
