Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

Fausto's blazing cleaving attacks resulted to be much deadlier than I had originally imagined, with just a few explosive strikes, the plants combusted and exploded. And not even the A Rank Treants could resist too many blows before dying. Perhaps another dungeon would have been much harder, but when we can abuse elemental weaknesses as basic as fire over plants, things get exceedingly easier.

Four hundred more monsters went down just as they showed up, my Level now rising by seven, making me level 17 by now. Killing monsters myself gave me much more experience, as I imagined.

It didn't take long before we reached the outer layer of the center of the last garden. The path behind us was left burned. I had stored as many monster corpses as I could, but even then there were still many left behind, although I made sure to at least store the spirit orbs without missing one.

"OOOOH" Fausto, the Bone Giant groaned, as I was sitting over his shoulders, he pointed at the distance, there were now trees covering this area, and they were not only big but strong, connected like a powerful, protective wall.

"A wall, huh?" I wondered.

"Yep, I can see a wall over there too." Erika nodded. "Hmmm… Using my plant senses, I think I can see that they're interconnected with their roots. Those giant trees are also monsters."

"What are they?" I asked. "The grimoire is not giving me any results…"

"They're called… Ancient Treants." Said Erika, somehow capable of learning, analyzing, and sensing both plants and plant monsters. Perhaps because she was a nature spirit herself. "Probably between A+ to A++ Rank! But still not as strong as the Dragon Dungeon Boss."

"Got it." I nodded. "There's also about a thousand more plant monsters surrounding the walls…" I said. "Elizabeth, I'll need your help with this. Can you bring their attention towards several directions at once?"

"You got an idea for that?" She asked.

"Yes, place large spheres of light in these directions." I showed her. "look, I mapped the surroundings in the grimoire."

"I see! The north, south, west and east… So they don't swarm us completely, huh?" She asked.

"I plan to lure them to these four spots where I'll leave the generals and their familiar squadrons, and some vampire spirits too. We'll lure all the small fry and kill them quickly. A thousand or not, they're still just small fry. Once we know thins are cleared, we'll go kill all those giant tree monsters. We can't miss any, the A-Rank Spirit Orbs are very precious."

"Got it! Yeah, I can do it." Elizabeth nodded, growing a pair of angelic wings over her shoulders. "Wait here for me!"

FLAAASH!

Elizabeth went flying right after that, leaving behind spheres of light in all the areas I indicated her to leave. She came flying back a few minutes later, the job all done. She smiled, as if asking for a reward or something… I patted her head, but that was surprisingly not enough. She stretched her lips towards me and then I knew what she wanted.

I gave her a small kiss and then decided to proceed with our plans. I commanded the generals and told them to move to the designated areas. Accompanied by their army of familiars, they swiftly lured all the plants towards the bright spheres of light. The vampire spirits accompanied them as well.

To facilitate and hasten the process, we decided to also join the hunt, I leaped from area to area, massacring as many plant monsters as I possibly could. Anna and Allan were also steadily leveling, and our Unique Familiars killed many C Ranked Monsters too. Soon we should have enough spirit orbs for them to Rank Up to B Rank before my other Familiars do.

Ultimately, we landed at the end of the road, they were all dead within half an hour. The power of the fire element is truly magnificent in this garden. And because nobody cares about a monster nest, I guess nobody will ever complain if I set ablaze this whole place a bit more.

With the experience points accumulated so far, I managed to get to level 30, not bad at all considering it was a thousand monsters between the lowest C Ranks to the A Ranks. With this little sidenote all said and done, the only thing next was to take care of the giant wall of Ancient Treants.

I quickly directed Gluttony towards the wall to give it a test, and imbued the spear with as much Ki and Demonic Energy as I could. Mana and Spirit Energy too, just to give it a sufficient oomph to all the power I could muster for the weapon.

"{Javelin Throw}"

FLAAASH!

The spear flew across the skies, quickly reaching the Ancient Treant, but before it could hit the old bark, it impacted a shiny barrier of light, which released sparks of azure color before gaining more and more cracks. Gluttony kept trying to breakthrough, enough to weaken the barrier and shatter it.

CRAAASH!

The barrier shattered and Gluttony pierced right through one of the Ancient Treants, the giant tree's body quickly collapsed into pieces as it was burned with demonic gluttony flames. Leaving behind a big A Rank Spirit Orb.

The other Ancient Treants opened their eyes lazily, quickly unifying their roots and closing the wall immediately afterwards. Gluttony quickly returned by my command as I felt the barrier was trying to suppress my power over my weapon and leave it trapped inside.

"Was that a barrier?!" Elizabeth asked. "Did that boss monster set that up?"

"Most likely, I would assume they were waiting for us, and won't let us enter their territory as easily." I nodded. "Gluttony was able to breakthrough but… With the fast rate in which the reconnect roots, it'll take forever to deal with this."

"There's very little we can do other than simply overpower the barrier and then burn the damn trees down." Elizabeth commanded. "Erika, got any recommendations?"

"Hmmm…" Erika was thinking about it, I noticed her eyes were glowing with a bright green light. "I think I could deal with the barrier, actually…"
