Chapter 48: Lesser Blood Magic
When Damon reappeared from the shadows, he was right behind one of the women. With a casual smile, he used his claw to slice her throat. Blood gurgled out. However, none of the blood poured out.
Damon quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on the open wound. Thanks to lesser blood magic, he no longer needed to use his fangs and could extract blood directly through his palm. He could eat without getting his hands dirty.
A faint crimson glow pulsed beneath his skin as the magic activated. The woman’s body convulsed once, and then the blood began to rise—not spill, not pour, but rise—as if being pulled by invisible threads.
It shimmered unnaturally, forming a smooth, spiraling stream that flowed into Damon’s hand like silk.
