Chapter 996 Cap 994: Rift In The Sky

The next day I was very lazy, but I was completely recovered from yesterday's energy expenditure, I was also going to do the same today to finish those missing from the strengthening list.

"(Won't you take care of me first?)" (Caitlyn)

"No, you will be the last one as I don't know how I'll be when I'm done with you." (I)

I get up and see the now empty barrel I left in my room, the contents of that barrel are in another container that is now stored in my item storage.

What was inside that barrel that was delivered yesterday was a Demonic Bloodline stronger than the True Dragon Bloodline that I consumed years ago, it was strange to feel that danger coming from the Blood in front of me the same way I felt it years ago with the blood of the True Dragon.

I knew this was an instinctive response that I was only able to feel because of my Blood Affinity, thanks to this I can clearly sense the Aura in Blood deeper and more fully than most I imagine my sisters are able to do the same.

"Unlike Elizabeth who was slowly destroying my body, you only give me a slight headache, so you'll wait for me to do everything I need to before taking care of you." (I)

I get close to the barrel and look inside, the wood it was made of was not normal and there were many magic circles drawn on the outside, but inside the wood looked corroded while a miasma-like energy still lingered inside.

"(I don't think I'll be able to consume that blood easily, so we'll do it little by little.)" (I)

I leave the hut and do some morning exercises training with my martial art like I used to before my life became so busy.

--------------

A few hours later I was inside the Dungeon waiting in the Communal Temple for everyone to arrive, today I have to take care of Athena, Eva, and Alice.

I've thought a lot about these three, I know Eva has a thing for me, so I have something special squared for her for later, maybe in a few days, Athena will be the easiest of the three, I'll just turn her into one of my daughters like Vanessa.

As for Alice, I have something special prepared, she has been making an effort since the day I met her while buying slaves, in the beginning, she was someone consumed by hatred and over time I saw that empty girl inside become someone as competent as Freya.

She surpassed my expectations a long time ago, but I always thought that I should wait for the right moment to help her go to greater heights, that moment will be now.

I started everything with Athena, her case was easier to solve, and there was no need for an Awakening Ceremony since she is a Vampire of my Bloodline, she is Vanessa's daughter making her my granddaughter, what I am about to do is make she is one of my daughters.

It was quite simple, all I needed to do was give my blood for her to consume before I allowed her Aura to absorb mine, this was the first time I was furthering the bloodline of one of my descendants but I felt my Blood and Aura within her interact inside your body.

I could feel her Aura explode right after while shifting, her Aura gained more weight at the same time as her eyes became redder as they glowed.

It was all much simpler than I initially expected, in the end, Athena's appearance was the same as before, anyone looking at her would realize that nothing had changed, but anyone with sharper senses would realize that her presence was different.

When I was done with her I realized that my connection with her was less indirect, now I know that connection I feel is being able to be my children, I give Athena a hug before continuing.

"The next one will be...." (I)

TRRRMMM TRRMMMR

Suddenly I felt everything tremble, but I soon realized that it couldn't be a simple earthquake, this type of nature event shouldn't be happening inside the Dungeon.

Another thing I also noticed the space itself was shaking, I couldn't help but contact Nix who called me outside with everyone.

As soon as I left the Dungeon I was in one of the huts on top of the trees in the Elf village, I ran outside as I noticed something strange.

As soon as I left I found Nix and Layla looking up, as soon as I looked up I saw that the sky was cracked creating a completely black right-hand rift where I saw bizarre creatures trying to get out.

The moment I looked, the leaves of the world tree were floating around the gap in space while emitting a green Light filled with the elements of Space and life.

The crack in space seemed to have been plugged, but I knew that wasn't it, to me it looked more like they were creating a bubble that trapped that crack in a different place.

It took me only a few seconds to understand that the bubble I saw was actually a Separate Space, soon the Elves began to join forces with more weapons to enter a gate of roosters that came out of the ground.

"What was this???" (I)

"I hoped it wouldn't happen..." (Elizabeth)

Sigh

"That's not our responsibility, the Elves can handle a little rift." (Natasha)

She said it was a small crack, but it seemed to be tens of kilometers in size, if she considers that small, then she asked me what a big one would look like.

"That was my fault." (Caitlyn)

Caitlyn passes some of her energy through me and a miniature image of her forms in front of me, this is another one of her illusions for her to use to interact with other people.

"The technique you used was different from mine, otherwise this wouldn't have happened." (Elizabeth)

"The path I created to cross wasn't the problem, it was the destruction of the Church of Light's long distance teleportation gate." (Caitlyn)

"I can't say how it happened here." (Caitlyn)

"I was her Soul, the distortion in space caused a temporary weakening that they utilized, but as a rift would be impossible to open in hallowed ground, they followed her Soul's trail here..." (Elizabeth)

Elizabeth seemed calm, but her usual confident smile was not present, it seemed that this matter was very serious for her.

"I don't like her idea." (Elizabeth)

"It wasn't her idea, it was my idea." (Lorraine)

"This is a good experience for everyone." (Lorraine)

"But this is not the time, we are in the middle of an open war while our eyes are open to enemies hiding in the dark, we must not lose focus..." (Elizabeth)

"Shut up, wasting this opportunity would be foolish, we'll join in." (Natasha)

"I'll let her know, it should start in 30 minutes." (Lorraine)
