Hemorrhagic epilepsy.
This word is quite impressive to George. Among the memories his mother Laura inherited to George, there is such a very clear memory about blood epilepsy:
In the continent of Exios, when the gods created a wide variety of hybrid races, or races with specific talents, they occasionally gave these races some "backdoors" for self-destruction. Just as the word madness is the biggest taboo for the half-orcs, blood epilepsy is the final and almost irreversible state of madness of the blood clan.
Speaking of blood epilepsy, we must first mention blood addiction.
Although in the stories of bards or in the popular literature of the non-death camp, the vampire clan with the third-level peak bloodline has always been a powerful and mysterious existence, but if the habit of sucking blood is not mentioned, the vampire clan’s daily behavior and eating habits, In fact, they are no different from humans, but the reason why vampires are called vampires is because they have an innate desire for blood that is similar to an addiction. This desire is blood addiction.
The weakness that blood addiction brings to the Vampires is that when they are not replenished with blood for a long time, the Vampires will turn into irrational beasts and instinctively attack everything around them. However, due to the strong fighting ability brought by the strong blood of the Vampires and the gregariousness like humans, obtaining blood is almost a piece of cake. In daily life, there are almost no incidents of Vampires going berserk because they cannot get blood.
However, almost non-existence does not mean that it does not exist. On the contrary, in the long history of the Vampire Clan, there have been many unexpected incidents of blood epilepsy in the clan, and these outbreaks of blood epilepsy are often accompanied by wars.
In the long history of war, in addition to animals with flesh and blood, the vampires have fought against many enemies that cannot obtain blood, such as elemental giants from the natural camp, mechanical golems from the order camp, and skeletons from the death camp. Zombies and other non-flesh enemies.
At the same time, although the vampires have the continent's top high-level bloodlines and powerful combat power, they are also subject to powerful restrictions such as injecting scorching weather, life-based spells, or light-based holy objects. Therefore, on the unpredictable battlefield, even As powerful as an army of vampires, it will occasionally be cornered by difficult enemies.
Unlike the undead army that only needs a small amount of magic power from the necromancer to be able to never stop, the Vampire army with strong individual abilities often relies on a battle-based combat mode on the battlefield. If there is a lack of food - that is, a lack of blood - after continuous fighting, most vampires will choose to reduce their combat power to reduce physical energy consumption, or wait for the arrival of reinforcements in a dormant state similar to hibernation, but some bloodthirsty ones cannot be ruled out. Individuals, when their blood addiction cannot be satisfied, forcefully absorb the blood of their own race to satisfy their own appetites!
Generally speaking, a small number of bloodthirsty individuals can be suppressed by the majority of conscious vampires. However, if these few individuals succeed, blood epilepsy will break out at the same time!
Although the total amount of blood flowing in the blood vessels of a normal adult vampire is about one-fifth less than that of a normal human being, the blood energy contained in it is more than the total amount of more than a hundred normal humans.
In order to maintain a balanced concentration of energy in the blood, Vampires generally drink blood very regularly. However, if there is a long-term lack of blood replenishment and a high concentration of blood energy is replenished at once, this "overeating" behavior will Breaking the energy balance in the Vampires' bodies, they gain great power but also lose most of their sanity, turning into bloodthirsty machines controlled by endless blood addiction.
Of course, in the history of the Vampire Clan, although these bloodthirsty machines can suck blood unscrupulously in a short period of time, what they will eventually face is the endless pursuit by the Vampire Clan elders and the death penalty - those with less severe circumstances will They were nailed in place and died on the spot after suffering damage from the scorching sun. In more serious cases, they were imprisoned in the deepest dungeon underground. In the following years, they slowly woke up from the state of blood epilepsy, and their bodies While entering hibernation, he was constantly tortured by his blood addiction. He breathed his last breath while constantly cursing his too long and tenacious life.
