Chapter 985: Testing The New Skills
-----
The red colored graveyard surged with Blood Energy, Mana, and Death Energy, all these essences combined, materializing out of thin air a hundred undead. They varied from skeletons to zombies to ghosts. Their appearances were very clear, they looked like Vampires. From the sharp red eyes and even paler skin than other undead to their clothes, long ears, everything.
"Grahhh..."
"Mas... ter..."
"King..."
"Ooogh..."
They groaned and whispered words but seemed unable to fully speak. I decided to quickly analyze their composition with my eyes, detecting they were fully physical and made of flesh and bones. And very tough ones.
Each undead had their own status window I could easily access to check. And their strength was equivalent to my strongest B Rank Familiars so far. They also weren't disappearing or something and could stay summoned indefinitely.
"Holy Blood Spirit, kill one."
"Very well."
The giant made of blood energy swung his claws, tearing down into pieces one of the zombie vampires. The rest didn't have any reaction. The moment it "died" it immediately exploded into particles of red light. So they're similar to my Familiars in that regard, leaving no physical body.
However, that didn't end at that. Once the Vampire Undead died, it left behind a small soul flame with the red color. It wasn't one I could absorb to gain stats or something, but it became some sort of resource, which was absorbed back to me.
"How interesting..." I said, trying to use the soul flame instinctively. "Oh, I see."
I discovered a few things as I played around with it. These Vampire Blood Souls could be used in a few ways. I could use them to enchant my body's stats, gaining crimson red runic tattoos over my body, transform them into Blood Soul Weapons or various forms, and even transform them into powerful spells.
Above all, they seemed to feed on my Blood Energy and Mana to regenerate their composition, but it was also totally possible to dispel them, in which case, I would feel as if they entered my soul and deposited themselves there.
And then...
"Graahh... My King..."
I suppose I do need a Familiar... to die?
I summoned a Familiar, it was a Hawk Summon, and then promptly made the Holy Blood Spirit to kill it, not retrieving it, there was no card left, as it disappeared.
However, there was the corpse left due to the effects of my Familiar Necromancy Skill, now I had the chance to rise it as an Undead Familiar.
But...
"{Familiar Soul Feasting}"
Something different happened once I activated the third Skill.
The corpse of the Familiar quickly turned into a large soul form of the same appearance as the familiar, which floated towards my... mouth.
"Hm? So I have to eat it?"
I devoured the soul and swallowed it.
"Gulp.."
FLASH!
Oh?!
I felt a sudden surge of power through my body. I didn't gain any permanent power though, but it was a temporary boost to my stats based on the Familiar's specialization.
"Wings?"
I looked like wings popped out of my back.
"Interesting, very interesting. Similar to the Card Buff Skill, but not? Let's test its limits."
