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

-----

As I read the grimoire while relaxing, a quest complete icon appeared.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You've completed the {Challenge Quest}: [Defeat the Divine White Dragon of Silver Flames, Bestellen]

[An incredible feat that the Holy Spirits celebrate within their Divine Realm! Not only did you defeat this almighty foe, but you've even recruited his soul as a part of your Familiars!]

[For such a tenacious and amazing feat that you and your allies accomplished, you've received plenty of amazing rewards.]

[The Holy Spirits are pleased! They're very happy you defeated such a powerful being that had grown into a mad ancient god they would have never been able to take care of themselves.]

[You have their eternal gratitude… Once more. For like the fourth time already.]

[Completion Rewards]: [5.000 Skill Points] [5.000 Stat Points] [Divine White Dragon-Themed Treasure Chest (Celestial Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Scroll: White Dragon Bestellen (Celestial Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (Legendary Grade)] x2 [Divine Skill Evolution Ticket (Legendary Grade)] x2 [Magic Circle Strengthening Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x10 [Physique Enhancing Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x10 [Spirit Orb Enhancement Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x10 [Skill Proficiency Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x10 [Small Fragment of the Holy Spirit of Seas Authority] x1]

Not only did I get a gross amount of items but even a fragment of another authority, this time of the Holy Spirit of the Sea, an unexpected gift coming from her, but a welcomed one.

[The {Holy Spirit of the Seas} is happy you seem to have found her reward acceptable.]

[She had thought about it for a while, but decided to give you a small fragment, small enough to not weaken her for your great efforts.]

[The Holy Spirit affirms that this might be a very useful Authority Fragment to have when you reach the Elven Continent.]

"So the problem there is related with fire or something?" I wondered.

[The {Holy Spirit of the Seas} says that you will have to find on your own.]

"Fine…"

I sat down, looking at the rewards with a blank stare to process everything I got. I even got some Skill Fusion Tickets, that's new.

"Grimoire, is the Skill Fusion function done yet?" I asked.

[Yes, it is done now, master.]

[You can combine up to… Five Skills together by spending Mana.]

"Mana? Not Skill Points?" I was a bit surprised.

[You can use Mana for the basic results, but if you want. Using Skill points will not only give the created Skill bonus levels, but also might make it even stronger.]

[Also, additional changes to the Spirit Link System within the Grimoire have been made. Before, although you could Link with the Skills of your Vampire Spirits to use them yourself, they weren't yours at the end.]

[However, it is now possible to permanently inherit one of the Skills amidst the list you've already chosen from each one of your Vampire Spirits.]

"Oh? Really? That's good. And I can choose any?" I wondered. "Or is it like the Special Familiar Skill inheritance?"

[I'm afraid it is like theirs, yes. You get one randomly.]

"Why can't I choose?"

[Apparently it is part of the causality laws that bind this grimoire to be to some extent "fair", randomness is a good way to cool down unfairness within the synapsis.]

"Oh, so you've been unfair with all the rewards I get all the time?" I laughed. "Fine, whatever. That will give me more Skills to combine anyways. Oh, what's the difference between the Skill Fusion Ticket and normal Skill Fusion?"

[The Ticket gives you the best possible Skill from the fusion, without any Skill Point cost.]

"Interesting, not so bad then. Alright, let's quickly get all those inheritance Skills from my Vampire Spirits while we are at it then."

Ding!

[The Grimoire Ability: {Divine Spirit Link Skill Inheritance} has been activated!]

[You have inherited one random Skill from the list of chosen Skills from every Spirit you've summoned and connected to your Spirit Orb.]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Eleanora] has inherited you her [Ninjutsu: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Hendrick] has inherited you his [Abyssal Spiderweb Creation: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Saphira] has inherited you her [Underworld's Gates: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Woo] has inherited you his [Blood Electrification: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Fang] has inherited you his [Wolf Beast King's Aura: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Celestina] has inherited you her [Kraken's Abyssal Tentacle: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Eriant] has inherited you his [Anubis' Hand: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Arkaxks] has inherited you his [Potent Acidic Blood: Lv1] Skill!]

[Your Divine Spirit Link with [Azahuk] has inherited you his [Mind Scape's Corruption: Lv1] Skill!]

The Skills I ended inheriting randomly were much better than I originally imagined! And they were all ready to be used too. Although at Level 1, I could clearly feel they belonged to me now. But the feeling was there, something I had almost forgotten.

I'm planning to mostly combine these Skills together through Skill Fusion, but it was already late, and I was getting progressively more tired and sleepier, perhaps because my body was constantly absorbing the power I had acquired from Bestellen, exhausting it faster.

Once I made my way back home, we had a delicious dinner together. A combination of several dishes, both favorites and not so much. Erika's mom had appeared after having had a meeting with the chief.

As I thought, she congratulated us for our victory and especially to me, saying that she couldn't believe Erika deserved such a "legendary hero" as she said.

"Well done, Blake, Erika, Elizabeth…" She spoke. "I never thought it would ever be possible to slay such a beast. Yet you went and did it. I was unfortunately unable to go, as you told me to guard the city from outside if the worst were to happen… I felt relieved when that didn't happen, and you came back alive."

"Thank you for your cooperation, mother-in-law." I thanked her deeply.

Once we ate dinner, I quickly went to sleep with Erika and Elizabeth cuddling with me, and then Eleanora, who had finally fully recovered, appearing out of thin air and resting over my body.

Once more, I was captured in between all three of them…
