Chapter 397 Aisa's Evolution



[Vampire (Magnus) → Vampiric Demon (Magnus)]

"How convenient…" I smiled as the man took a look at his new status, his eyes widened at what I could assume was a plethora of new skills. He most likely witnessed a jump in stats as well, now that he was a demon. 

"Sir, I believe you should do this with the other generals. I was selfish at first, but… I have gained a new skill called [Summon: Vampire Soldiers]. There would be no need to train the new ones who are bound to fade away anyway, and I can only assume they are permanent as this is what the fourth general has." 

"I see… then call the other generals to come to me. The second general is fine… I don't want to ruin whatever she is doing. But the others, tell them to arrive before me by tomorrow. If they don't, tell them, they've missed out on a rare opportunity… I'm not coming to find them." 

"As you wish, sir," The man grinned, his two vampiric fangs still protruding from his top array of teeth. 

I dismissed Magnus immediately and then sat down on the edge of my bed. Staring at the massive mirror across the room, I looked at my hair once again. It was so long that it practically pooled at my hips while I relaxed on the corner of my comfy mattress. 

Knock Knock Knock

"Come in," I muttered, tying my hair back with a loose hair tie I kept around my wrist. And as I finished tying it up, making sure it wouldn't bother me anymore, I felt my jaw loosen and nearly drop into my lap as I saw a completely different woman walk through the door. "And who the hell are you?" 

Long white hair with streaks of light blue mixed into it, piercing bright yellow eyes, and an older look, just like mine. She matured in various ways while her pale white skin somehow got paler, almost as if she was ill. 

The woman gave me a stupid expression in response to my question before pushing out her hand and then taunting me with a gesture that screamed, "Come at me." Clearly, she was more confident in her skills now and thought she could take me on… but now that I got to witness what she looked like now, I couldn't help but stay wary. She was strong. Way stronger than before. Maybe triple her status. 

"Well, if you insist… I can't really refuse."

… 

As I looked at my new status, the first thing I could only comprehend of doing was rushing into Orion's room. Thankfully he wasn't naked, so with every ounce of my being and the suppression of a nearly infinite amount of excitement, I called him out. I taunted him to come fight me. 

"Well, if you insist… I can't really refuse." 

"Woah, woah, woah… you two cannot fight here," A bitchy voice suddenly came through the door. And when I turned my head, I saw the vampire duchess nervously entering the room, not even giving me a glance but, on the other hand giving nervous looks at my friend. 

"And what makes you say that?" Orion asked, giving her a sly smile that caused the woman who I once used to fear… now practically quake at the voice of my friend. Her teeth nervously chattered as she attempted to squeeze out the reason… but we already understood. Orion just wanted to tease her a bit, and as I had hated her from the beginning, I didn't interfere in the slightest. It was satisfying. 

"J-J-Just… ummmm… you'll destroy the entire estate. I'm well aware of how excited you both are to test out your skills, but I don't want the entirety of my estate getting destroyed," The vampire began to sweat. 

"I can handle that," The demon god suddenly stepped in, her smirk unbounded to try and taunt the vampire duchess even more. It seems even she was having fun teasing the duchess as she was in such a vulnerable state right now. 

"M-May I ask how you will do that, your highness?" 

"You'll see. Just trust me." 

We soon moved to the training grounds overlooking most of the kingdom. It was currently the early snip bits of the evening, so not everybody had turned off their lights, illuminating the cityscape right beside us. 

"[Spatial Isolation]," The demon god muttered while snapping her fingers. And as those words finished trailing out of her mouth, a massive clear film with a tint of gray wrapped around the entire estate. "Whatever damage you do within this spatial isolation will be restored as soon as I deactivate the skill. Everybody within the building is also separated but hidden in a different space… so feel free to go crazy." 

I nodded with the confirmation that we could go all out. And as I turned to Orion, who just finished stretching out his arms, I unleashed a blast of aura that scraped the very top of the spatial isolation. 

[Terrorizing Ruler Pressure] [Haste] [Empower] [Greater Dagger Coating] 

[Greater Dagger Enhancement] [Ghostly Double of Past Fates]

I was buffed to my max, but I refused to use the [God Sapping Auto Buff]. It sounded powerful, but the most powerful skills, which are constantly active, will drain away tons of my mana. And sure, my mana stat may have increased, but it was too risky when I wanted to beat Orion without it ending too quickly. I wanted to beat him for the first time in my entire life. 

"I'll save it as a last resort," I smiled, seeing Orion's own aura blast to the top of the spatial isolation. His was a dark purple with streaks of red, while mine was a light blue with streaks of white slashing up and down. 

The space around us quivered, and the vampire duchess suddenly poofed into a bat that hid within the palms of the demon god. While the duchess quivered in fear, the demon god looked at us like a proud parent who has witnessed our growth and triumph over the years. 

Two black daggers with the sheen of an icicle formed in both of my hands. I gripped the moist and slippery outer layer before feeling them literally freeze to the skin of my palms. If somebody ripped them off now, my entire handprint would be eradicated from existence. 

On the other side, Orion summoned his spear. It was massive. At least triple what it was last time in length while keeping its slim body. The blade had extended to at least the size of his torso, and the handle was just absolutely extra. It had to be at least as tall as my friend. 

"Cool spear you got there… it's a shame my own weapons didn't evolve." 

All of a sudden, the boy's spear began to swirl with a black-and-white aura, the creaking of the metal echoing through the entire city. It was as if the spear itself was fighting to keep itself intact while external forces pushed its own body outwards, twisting it and then contorting it. And it struggled. Like a lot, a lot. 

"Hm?" 

But then, just as the spear looked as if it was about to shatter into thousands of pieces, the closed eye, which I thought was just a decoration in the center of the spear, snapped open. It made a grotesque fleshy sound as its second clear eyelid came over, moistening the dark red pupil. 

Squirming around in its socket, it looked for the source of power, attempting to tear it apart. But upon realizing that the source of power was all around it, it strained, going bloodshot while revealing the hundreds of veins hidden deep beneath it. 

It released a tremendous amount of power, causing a massive gust of wind to rustle past me, tearing my hair backward and nearly sending me flying into the wall behind me. This was just a warmup to Orion's power, and from what I could assume, there was much more in store for me.
