Chapter 17: Myriad Transformations

As time passed, the massive pillar of light that had engulfed the horizon gradually subsided.

The pier that once served to dock merchant ships is now a wreck.

The surrounding air is filled with a burnt smell, and the original floor has cracked in the middle,

the half near the sea has vanished, and faint flames still linger at the fracture.

The waves continuously scour the charred ruins and debris,

and the sky‑filled dust envelops the whole area, like wreckage burned by a great fire.

Whoosh!

The sound of the waves echoes in every corner of the pier,

Jiang Xia, dressed in casual clothes and a white scarf around his neck, steps out from the billowing smoke,

his agile stride on the charred planks brings him before Hong Du.

This combination harnesses the total energy of Tooth Blood Vampires, equivalent to that of six to seven of them,

and swallowing such a massive amount at once also advances Jiang Xia's monster form further.

After returning that day, he pondered a question: is the power of Myriad Transformations really just this,

though Tooth Blood Vampire power originates from bloodlines, their techniques lean more toward rituals and magic.

The resurrection ritual involves the use of Tooth Blood Vampire power, and Myriad Transformations directly designated it as an exclusive skill and injected it into him,

Jiang Xia puts down the strings and violin in his hands, returns them to their place, and earnestly experiences that strange sensation again.

On the surrounding walls hang violins of various styles,

Jiang Xia pats Hong Du's frail body, smiles and says, "I solved it too quickly; it's none of your business."

Evolution Level: D+

Lifespan: 200 years (Earth time).

The violin accelerates his learning ability, as if invoking muscle memory etched within his body.

"Mr. Jiang Xia, I'm late," Hong Du lowers his head, unable to meet Jiang Xia's gaze.

As the Bishop who primarily instructs the King of Fang Vampires, he is highly skilled in these matters.

Clap, clap, clap, the applause reverberates in this refined and harmonious room.

This ceremony is far more professional than the resurrection method of that Ming Shrimp Tooth Blood Vampire,

and the displayed power shows a considerable gap.

Evolution Materials: Spider Fang Vampire, Horse Toothblood Vampire, Octopus Fang Vampire….

What is the relationship between this violinist and his friend?

Current World: Kamen Rider Kiva (2008)

That strange feeling, beginning with Hong Du's teaching, seemed as if he was born with it,

having practiced it tens of thousands of times, not only mastering the score in a very short time but also rapidly grasping all knowledge of violin performance.

That is the heart of this Tooth Blood Vampire combination, also the Tooth Blood Vampire core fused by the Bishop using special means.

Learning, or rather, excavation.

Does this count as a monster's ability?

"Impressive, I didn't expect Mr. Jiang Xia to master the violin completely in just a few days,"

the brown strings are constantly vibrating, and notes of different scales combine into a beautiful melody.

As long as one collects Tooth Blood Vampire body fragments and combines them with human life energy, those dead Tooth Blood Vampires can be revived.

…

Jiang Xia rides a sleek red motorcycle, speeding along the road.

However, this resurrection ritual, which is crucial for the Tooth Blood Vampire clan, has little effect for Jiang Xia.

He usually devours Tooth Blood Vampires completely, leaving no corpse; this ritual resurrection is merely a chicken rib.

He can no longer restrain his curiosity.

At the same time, his own exclusive ability was born, Myriad Transformations,

which not only allows unlimited shapeshifting but also lets him wield the abilities of those forms.

And Jiang Xia mentally reviewed all the identity data of the monsters he had devoured,

but none verified Jiang Xia's reasoning, until he tried to study the violin.

Monster Form: Unknown Tooth Blood Vampire (Fusion Form).

However, the strength of skills, differences in proficiency, and manifestations vary.

No wonder, the Bishop's finally resurrected Bat Fang Vampire can hoist and strike Xiao Du, who possesses Dark Kiva, along with Tai Ya and Mo Huang Kiva.

Race: Human

Hong Du clapped earnestly at Jiang Xia.

Their intelligence is highly developed, capable of learning all kinds of skills.

It was then Jiang Xia realized that the acquired ability, Myriad Transformations, can be obtained.

The moment Myriad Transformations was born, a mysterious ritual instantly surfaced in Jiang Xia's memory,

he saw the panel update and deeply felt the change in his strength.

Seeing the Hong family mansion emitting such beautiful violin sounds, he decided to go inside and take a look.

This was originally an ability stored in the memory of the Ming Shrimp Tooth Blood Vampire, but now Jiang Xia has obtained it.

After several days of familiarization, he finally roughly determined another use for Myriad Transformations.

"What an ethereal and beautiful sound," Da Cun Wu Nan opened his eyes, his face intoxicated.

Some can manifest directly in his mind, while others merely accelerate his learning ability.

Jiang Xia looked, and the colorful core was like a droplet merging into the sea, directly merging into Jiang Xia's body.

As for Hong Du, he still had to go back to work at the coffee shop.

Upon hearing this wonderful piano sound again in a familiar place,

In Jiang Xia's material library, only one being possesses the ability to play the violin: the octopus Tooth Blood Vampire.

And can play such wonderful music.

Abilities: Thousand Changes (able to transform into recorded monsters), Myriad Transformations (possessing all abilities of the material monsters).

Knight form: Kamen Rider Kiva, Kamen Rider Kiva Fusion Form (temporarily unsealing part of Kiva's seal with the power of the Tooth Blood Vampire).

Strength rating: B-

Crossing condition: kill the King of Fang Vampires of the current world.

Rather than simply taking the opponent's power or form.

Evolved.

This is his newly bought item; a Kamen Rider without a motorcycle just won't do.

Whether it's the technology for storing human life energy,

or using rituals to revive those dead Tooth Blood Vampires, this information is the Tooth Blood Vampire's secret not to be passed down.

Dacun Wunan slowly stepped into this place he hadn't been to for a long time.

The appearance of Myriad Transformations is to further develop and research the monsters used as material.

In the midst of speaking, Jiang Xia looked up at a cluster of colorful energy floating in the air.

The description of Myriad Transformations is that it possesses all abilities of the material monsters, but the Tooth Blood Vampire is different from ordinary monsters.

This is not just a matter of the melody; he has an old friend who also once lived here.

Upon receiving his news, Hong Du immediately set aside his other affairs and rushed over with all his might.

Seeing Hong Du all sweaty, Jiang Xia knew,

The smooth violin sound flowed slowly within the Hong Family Manor.

The Tooth Blood Vampire that uses violin music as a predatory means, in human form she is still a violinist.

For her, playing the violin has long been etched deep into her bones.

Those are all the research results Hong Du achieved in violin making.

He remembered that the last time he came here was over twenty years ago, and that human was truly a violin prodigy.

Thanks to his help, he was able to spend twenty years peacefully in human society.
