Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System Chapter 15

Suddenly, a small group of monsters walked downstairs, greeting Chaos and Belphegor.

These monsters were incapable of speaking, and similarly, to Belphegor, they were also summoned here.

They were weaker than Belphegor, the strongest of them being merely at C-Rank.

Both Belphegor and Chaos didn't know why they came here, but it wasn't as if they were bothered by them.

"Why are you here?" asked Belphegor. He was not bothered but he still was curious as to why so many came at the same time, perhaps another monster attack or an orc group?

However, because they could not speak, only Belphegor could understand them through the will of their souls, a strange way that beings that could not speak communicated with, similar to Telepathy but not really…

Their wills were clear.

"Oh…! You guys… Why? It is not really… necessary to do that!" said Belphegor.

Chaos noticed that something was going on, as some of the monsters suddenly brought some flesh pulp, bones, and what seemed to be several rats they just killed.

"Oh, materials," said Chaos, feeling grateful.

"My lord… It seems that the benevolence of your servants knows no bounds… They say that they want to be used as materials alongside the things they brought, so they can become a stronger being to serve you better… I am… I don't know what to say. It is up to you to accept this or not," said Belphegor.

Chaos was a bit surprised by such a desire… It seemed that these monsters… wanted to give up their lives for him.

"Why?" asked Chaos.

The monsters only approached him as they began to touch him a bit, the statues stiff arms touched his head, the brooms caressed him with their hairs, and the will-o-wisps flew around him, warming him a bit.

Through these stiff acts, Chaos understood a bit of their desire…

"You… Do you really want to do that? Are you sure?" said Chaos, he was filled with emotions as he realized that these beings he had only seen but a few hours ago were already willing to give everything they had for him… so they could become a new being and serve him better.

But… wouldn't this technically be dying?

There was no guarantee that their souls would stay the same, in fact, they would be turned into energy, and the soul of the actual summoned creature might end up being of a completely different being.

Chaos felt like he wanted to reject such an offer, he didn't want them to die for him… This wasn't how he liked things to be.

He felt the desire to protect the servants of his father, not to make them sacrifice themselves for him like this…

But they wouldn't budge, they wanted this, and Chaos couldn't simply reject their feelings like this.

"…Okay." He sighed, as the monsters celebrated, and quickly rushed into the first large flask within the artifact, alongside the corpses and everything else they bought.

"Hmm… Oh! It is enough for a single summon…" said Belphegor, as he noticed within the artifact's that a holographic window made of magic emerged, showing a sign of [OK].

Chaos felt a bit nervous, as he sighed and let them be used as materials.

"Thanks…" he said, as he decided to give a bit of his blood to them, it seemed that, unlike his flesh or bones, his blood didn't turn into ashes if he manipulated it through Bloodwork.

"You served well Master Ainz, my fellow friends, and you shall serve Lord Chaos now, thank you," he said, as he pressed the artifact and activated its functions.

Suddenly, all the monsters and the materials were filled with bright light, their souls and bodies converted themselves into pure energy, which flowed into the tubes of the artifact.

Flash!

The magic circles and runes infused into the entire artifact glowed brightly, as a sudden connection to another space was perceived by Chaos' new perception abilities.

"This…!"

Suddenly, whatever was coming now, was way more than whatever he had expected before!

"Eh?! Something… is coming! This is… This is a strong summon, my lord! The love of your servants has been recognized by the Grand Cosmos! Rejoice!" laughed Belphegor.

FLASH!

Chaos suddenly noticed a spatial disturbance over the artifact, which only lasted but a millisecond, but this millisecond was enough to bring an alien soul from whichever place in the cosmos it originated from!

The soul fused with the energy as a small amount of Cosmic Essene leaked through the crack in space which closed itself, quickly shaping the energy, the soul, and the cosmic essence into something new!

Ding!

With a single ding, an enormous amount of smoke filled the second flask, as the summoning was complete!

Belphegor opened the door as the smoke slowly faded away from it…

And what greeted everyone's sight was… a strange.. oozy and black-colored mass of slime…

It had many eyes over it, all of them yellow-colored and looked like they were slowly moving around the black sludge.

It also had a single vertical jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth, which crossed around the entire mass of black sludge.

"What is this?" wondered Belphegor.

Suddenly, Chaos received a System Message, it seemed that the artifact had somehow recognized him as the owner of this summon, and connected itself to the system.

[Blood Core] has bound with the [Summon Artifact]

[Summon Artifact] has been bound to the [System]

[Congratulations! You have summoned [Shoggoth (Phantasmal+)]!]

"Shoggoth…?" asked Chaos, as he walked towards the sludge of black ooze, as it began to glow with purple and blue colors the moment it noticed him.

He walked towards it and reached to it with his claws, touching it.

"SHOOOOGGGGHH…!"

The creature began to groan with an ear-piercing voice that seemed grotesque and made up of many voices!

However, both Chaos and Belphegor were unaffected, so they kept glaring at it.

Splash!

Suddenly, the Shoggoth jumped over Chaos' body, entangling his arm and then reaching up to his face.

Its jaws suddenly began to move around until they formed very ugly lips, and they began to kiss his face.

"Hm?"

Chaos was a bit surprised, but the creature seemed very affectionate toward him.

He was kissed all over by it, he could even recall that it kissed his lips several times, so he had given his first kiss to this entity unwillingly.

However, Chaos couldn't bear to take it out of his body, after all, it seemed to like him and it was also made by the sacrifice of his servants, so he had to be considerate.

He gently petted it.

"There, there… What name should we give to you?" wondered Chaos.

"Name… Name…" the creature suddenly began to speak, with the voice of a girl, albeit very twisted and strange.

"It can even speak! It seems to be a very strong summon, indeed!" said Belphegor.

"Ah! I remember… my name… I am… Abyss!" it said.

"Abyss?" asked Chaos and Belphegor at the same time.

Ding!

[You have named your summon as [Abyss]!]

[You learned the [Naming] Skill]

[Naming]: By spending Mana, you can name an entity without a name and give it power based on your total strength and the quality of your mana.

Flash!

Suddenly, Abyss began to glow eerily, as Chaos noticed that he lost around 50 million Mana, which flowed in the form of black fog inside Abyss' body.
