Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System Chapter 212

Rot, a new companion from another world, or well, Chaos' original planet, Earth. This little Zombie Dragon contained within itself a powerful aura of pure Death like Chaos had never seen before.

While Abyss had an Aura of the Void and Space, and he Chaos and Blood, this little zombie dragon had an aura of Death and Phantom, these two powerful elements made up most of its powerful presence, emanating from within like a massive aura of phantasmal energies converging together.

His empty eye sockets emanated flames of phantom blue color, with its decaying wings showed their bones and rotten flesh, where deathly black aura emanated from within, making it as if its very presence made up the entire place into a deadly one… the Undead around here, including Belphegor, felt naturally attracted to the zombie dragon.

"So you're really from that world… Did mother sent you here like Abyss?" asked Chaos curiously.

"Ah… yes!" Rot spoke rather dumbly, as if it was hard for him to speak. This was because he had never spoken on his life, he was a kid when he became test subject for a dozen of years, even when he died at the age of 23, he died as a zombie that only groaned and ate people.

Due to this, it would be pretty hard to get his full story too, so Chaos did something rather peculiar, using his Mind God Techniques, he touched the soul of Rot and inspected all the memories he had inside of his mind, deep down.

Through it, he quickly learned everything he went through, and learned of how he was used and the sorrowful past he once had. Chaos gritted his teeth a bit… he felt guilty after seeing this young boy died miserably like this.

"If it wasn't because of me… and my accursed Miasma… All of you wouldn't had suffered and gone through such things… My existence made you all suffer…" he sighed.

"W-What? Chaos, don't think like that!" cried Abyss.

"W-What is my lord speaking about?" asked Belphegor confusedly, only Abyss realized what he was referring to.

Rot sat down near Chaos as he hugged the rotten dragon, he even began to shed a few tears.

"I… I am sorry. You shouldn't had gone through all of this… I am sorry…"

Chaos felt all of the zombie dragon's emotions the moment he saw through his memories, attacked by guilt and sorrow, he couldn't help but ask for forgiveness…

"Graa… D-Don't be sorry… It's okay… I don't… have grudges…" said Rot.

A little claw petted Chaos' back.

"I don't have grudges either! All of what happened back then was beyond our scope, Chaos… Even your existence… You couldn't control that, right? You cannot simply curse your own existence for bringing suffering to others, that's not right. You couldn't do anything over it." said Abyss.

"Abyss…"

"Indeed, my lord. The suffering that your existence might had brought to others is not really your fault, it is your very existence what you cannot really control. We don't choose to be born in this world, we are merely born by the twists of fate. Don't curse the things you don't have control over. It was not within your will to do all of such things, you're not at fault." Said Belphegor. Despite not getting everything, he understood half of it and formulated words that could appease Chaos troubled heart.

"That's right! That's right! I don't care what happened to me in my previous life, I am just happy I got to meet you and love you…" said Abyss, hugging Chaos from behind.

"Y-You're right… I guess I overexaggerated a bit there…" sighed Chaos.

"You really did…" sighed Abyss.

"Everything's… good then?" asked Rot.

"Yes… sorry… for that." Said Chaos.

"My lord, do not apologize for every single thing. Don't worry. Developing empathy had also made you quite too considerate. You're our King, you don't have to think so deeply over such trivial things. Emotions are a good thing, but don't let them take the best of you. Don't let emotions make you regret your own existence. If you regret your glorious existence, then what are we doing? Wouldn't our whole lives be also meaningless?" asked Belphegor.

Chaos realized he didn't mean to offend others by insulting and cursing his own upbringing and decided to calm down and think that what was done was done, and that worrying or getting sad over the sorrowful stories that his powers might had caused others to go through were things beyond his scope which he could not control properly.

"I see. I understand now, Belphegor, thank you for opening my eyes… I've realized how it is. And thank you too, Abyss." Said Chaos.

"Hehe, don't mind it!" said Abyss, kissing Chaos.

"I am here… to give a hand and help… She asked me to help you…" said Rot.

"My mother? I see… Well then, you and all the new Divine Summons are welcome in our Kingdom, I'll make sure to use your strength as much as I possibly can, you will be powerful and important assets to my army. I am looking forward to working with all of you from now on." Said Chaos with a charismatic smile, the many summoned creatures roared, exuding powerful auras of various elements they encompassed.

The creatures were of all shapes and sizes, and Chaos then began to quickly do evolutions, provoking them all to evolve after being named and then given a lot of Divine Miasma, the miasma he was now able to produce as a God.

All the creatures were shrouded in this powerful Darkness and liquified Chaos, which made it extremely easy for them to evolve and grow stronger, they were already incredibly powerful but became even more formidable after their two evolutions, becoming strong allies that he could rely on from now on, becoming important future assets for him.

Even Rot was renamed as Rot too, so he got to evolve once and then another time through Miasma, which made the zombie dragon feel like it was in heaven as he bathed in such a glorious essence…
