Chapter 106: Evolutions
-----
Noah acquired a new Skill, Blood Prison!
But what could Blood Prison even do?
Noah read its description in detail…
[Blood Prison: 1 (B)]
Only those who are capable of controlling Blood with incredibly high mastery can use this Skill.
Unleash the power of your blood, automatically generating a prison made of hardened, iron-like blood that can entrap a single target for a limited amount of time.
While in Blood Prison, the target Mana cost to use any kind of Ability is tripled.
Imprison Time: 5 Seconds.
Cooldown: 40 Seconds.
This Skill does not prevent the target from moving, and the Prison can be destroyed.
…
Noah found this Skill rather useful!
And as long as he keeps increasing his proficiency, the time for the Imprisonment would increase while the cooldown would decrease!
"For now, it is not as impressive, but if it can reach high proficiency and then even awaken afterward… It could become a mighty Skill. I will make sure to use it tonight in the dungeon we shall visit…" thought Noah, as he began to use several Skills at the same time to practice their proficiency, even having his Blood Armor on all the time, as his current clothes were in fact made through Blood Armor as well.
Noah decided to keep practicing Skills as he ate and stockpiled calories, the hours went by and everyone seemed to have finally finished evolving.
"Ah… we are back up… Hm? Well, we didn't change much…" said Arthur.
Indeed, everyone seemed rather similar than before, as it seemed that when Vampires evolved, their physical appearances did not undergo drastic changes, but their internal strength did.
More than evolution, it seemed like evolutions for Vampiric races were more like Classes, and each evolution had a name that reflected the Class a Vampire could be.
Noah was a high caste of Vampire, and he became a Vampire Noble and then a Noble-Born Vampire Viscount, while the other members became Knights, Warriors, Priests, or other classes.
"Yeah, I am not much different… Hm? I got tattoos?" asked Timassa, noticing a small golden mark in her hand, resembling a thunder.
"Oh? I also have one…" said Arthur, noticing a black and yellow one, resembling a staff.
"Me too…" said Jon, showing a purple one resembling an eye.
"Noah, I also got one, what are these?" wondered Iris, showing her blue-colored tattoo that resembled a phantom flame.
"Tattoo?" asked Adamantina, showing off her own, resembling a black claw.
"Interesting… These are… (Blood Progenitor, what are these tattoos?)" asked Noah to the Blood Progenitor, freeing him from his Mind Chamber.
"Oh? So when you finally need my help you free me! …Well, not like I have a choice. Those tattoos are named Vampiric Crests, and form in Vampiric Subordinate when they reach a high grade of power, they connect to your Blood Core, and they can draw power from you by activating them," said the Blood Progenitor.
"So that's it… They are named Vampiric Crests, they can connect to my own Blood Core, and whenever you need power, you can draw from me to gain a boost in your strength or magic. Don't think on abusing it either, as I can easily cut the connection between the two," said Noah.
"Ooh?! So that is it! Amazing, Noah! You know so much about this stuff!" said Iris.
"Heh, of course, I do!" said Noah, without giving any credit to the Blood Progenitor.
"Oi, give me some credit you ungrateful successor!" roared the Blood Progenitor, as he was imprisoned again in the Mind Chamber.
"Amazing… Vampiric Crests, this means that we have all achieved a greater level of power thanks to Noah-sama… I am forever grateful for the opportunities you've given to us," said Timassa.
"Me too, thanks a lot… And let's keep fighting and striving for more," said Arthur.
"Yes… I am very happy as well…" said Jon while smiling adorably.
"Master! Strong?" asked Adamantine.
"Yes, you are quite strong now, Adamantine… And of course, we shall keep striving forward, there are many things left for us to do! …And don't treat me as if we were pals in here, I am your progenitor, so treat me more respectfully!" said Noah rather intimidatingly, as everyone nodded while sweating a bit.
"A-Ah! Sorry, maybe we went a bit too carefree there…" said Arthur.
"Hehe, don't worry! Noah is in fact very happy! He just not showing it but- Nnguh!"
Smack!
Noah smacked Iris's head as he made her shut up.
"Ouch! That hurts… Geez…" sighed Iris while pouting, although it didn't hurt at all due to her immense endurance.
"You are a Vampire, that clearly didn't hurt at all," said Noah, as he crossed his arms, her emotional manipulation wasn't effective against this cold-hearted Vampire!
"Now let me inspect your status, I am curious about your current progress," said Noah, as he slowly began to inspect everyone's status.
[Iris]
