Several minutes later, once Vincent breathed in the magic power in his surrounding to store a total of hundred units of it in both his heart, he began performing the hand signs mentioned in the Lower Sun Scripture Flame Purifying Technique to purify his Magic power into Mana.

He did that some more times and finally stopped when he had gained 100 units of mana.

He went back to a secure place in the library and channeled his 100 units of mana to activate the Thousand Purifying Magic Technique.

‹ Fruit of Darkness is now left with 800 units of negative energy ›

A few minutes after he activated his Magic Technique meant to purify evolution materials, a notification highlighting that he only needed to eliminate 800 units of negative energy from the Fruit of Darkness so that it will finally become consumable popped up in front of his eyes.

"I only need to follow the same process 8 more times." Vincent internally laughed and cried at the same time.

The job of a magic chef wasn't easy, nor too hard.

Well, it wasn't too hard for him.

He has memorized the magic techniques meant for purifying evolution materials, cooking and preparing evolution dishes in just a few minutes, after all.

"I am the biggest cheat in the universe!" Vincent internally exclaimed as another round of evolution material purification began.

‹ Fruit of Darkness is now left with 700 units of negative energy ›

‹ Fruit of Darkness is now left with 600 units of negative energy ›

….

Vincent was better than most of the Magic Chef in one prospect and that was the fact that he could purify his magic power into mana in a matter of minutes.

That was just how powerful the flame purifying energy magic technique was.

Unlike others, he didn't need to waste hours and days trying to purify 100 units of magic power into mana.

He could do that pretty fastly and in a very short time.

A few hours passed by as Vincent continued to purify the Fruit of Darkness from negative energy.

He was tired, exhausted, and bored from repeating the same time eight times now.

However, he didn't stop as one thing kept him going.

Awakening!

He will awaken once he consumes the purified Fruit of Darkness.

This very thought pushed him forward. Although it was already late at night, he didn't return to the boy's dormitory to rest. He will do that tomorrow. He will use this every night to purify the fruit of darkness and consume it to awaken. He has already decided to awaken before the sun rises.

‹ You've successfully purified the Fruit of Darkness ›

‹ It is now safe to consume it ›

It didn't take too long for the Fruit of Darkness to finally lose all of its negative energy and become unharmful for consumption.

"Finally, I can awaken!" Vincent exclaimed jovially as he brightened in happiness.

He opted not to cook it into a fish and eat it raw as the only thing he could taste was blood.

Without wasting any time, he picked up the Fruit of Darkness without any hesitation and bit into its soft, squishy flesh. A mouthful of golden juice, alongside the pulpy flesh of the fruit, filled his mouth.

"It's tasteless. Just as I expected." Vincent complained in his mind.

The Fruit of Darkness tasted bland as it wasn't a good match for his vampiric taste buds.

He gulped the contents of the Fruit of Darkness in a single second, and at that very moment, a notification bearing great news popped up in front of his eyes.

‹ The Tenth Head of the Family has consumed a part of the Fruit of Darkness ›

‹ You've gained ten percent of Power of Evil ability cells ›

"Power of evil? This is the name of the ability I will awaken once I consume the entire Fruit of Darkness!" Vincent exclaimed, hurriedly biting into the Fruit of Darkness and consuming it one portion at a time.

‹ You've consumed the entire Fruit of Darkness ›

‹ You've entered the awakening process! ›

‹ The Power of Evil Ability Cell in your bloodstream will now help you awaken, allowing you to gain the ability "Power of Evil" and helping you create energy channels in your body ›

A while later, once he finished consuming the entire Fruit of Darkness, Vincent felt thousands of ants biting him all over his body and thousands of needles poking every corner of his body, and he couldn't help but grunt in pain.

"Ugh!" Vincent exclaimed as he felt a huge portion of his own Life Force leaving his body to help him successfully undergo the evolution process.

‹ The awakening evolution process has consumed your life force to create six energy channels of the highest quality and the greatest potential in your body. Three more to go! ›

His black hair turned white, a sign of rapid aging as energy channels that could contain not only mana but also dark and evil energy formed within his body.

At the same time, his eyes turned a bit dark.

No!

It wasn't just his eyes that were being clouded by darkness.

Rather it was his entire eye sockets.

They were clouded by a fog of darkness that seeped out of the corners of his eyes, spreading outwards and permeating into his very surrounding.

Vincent thinned a little before a notification popped up in his mind, notifying him that nine sealed energy channels have formed in his body and that he could unblock them through a special method and nurture them to store more than a hundred units of mana.t

Then even greater news followed!

‹ You've successfully undergone the Awakening evolution process ›

‹ Congratulations on Awakening the Power of Evil! ›

Vincent breathed out a fog of darkness as he stared at the notification screen in front of him with deep interest shown in his normal eyes.

"Power of Evil. What does it do?!" Vincent asked in his mind, a look of anticipation reflected on his face.

‹ Ability Name: Power of Evil ›

‹ Type: Parasitic ›

‹ Grade: Extraordinary ›

"What are its effect?"
