"Although it is going to be somewhat painful, I will give you guys a boost in power before you descend into a world with numerous resources just waiting to be harvested."
Noah looked at the force of hundreds of humans gathered in front of him as he spoke.
"Are you all ready?"
The replies he received were that of excited yells and enthusiasm as the Hunters could not wait to get started. He nodded as he cast [Vampyrism] on these humans who did not fully understand exactly what they had just enthusiastically agreed to!
From Noah's fair right hand, numerous red lines erupted as they went on to pierce onto the bodies of the Hunters instantly, their faces rapidly changing as they buckled down to the ground and began convulsing.
Noah and Sophia were looking at this sight with interested eyes as Noah wanted to fully observe the effects of a Vampyre Progenitor turning beings into Vampyres, while Sophia was simply another ent.i.ty entirely and was not even thinking along the same lines. Only the gruff Steel Mikhail was standing by the side with his usual unreadable expression as he watched the evolving situation.
If one were to watch from the side, they would observe Noah's expression to be impa.s.sive as he observed the Hunters wriggling in pain on the ground, only a calculating look overtaking his face as he observed the continuing changes. Unknowingly, another effect of the Vampyre Progenitor Bloodline went to alter his mentality, although the changes were too little for one to notice at this time!
RUMBLE!
A red light permeated throughout the surroundings as the hunters underwent unbearable pain, but nothing like what Noah had gone through as he found their bodies were only going through changes that granted them the bloodline of Elite Vampyres.
This meant that anyone he chose to use [Vampyrism] on would skip the ranks of Normal Vampyres and become an Elite Vampyre right away!
He nodded his head after confirming this test, his aura already locked on the beings from the Beast World and Demon World that had also neared the location where he opened the portal connecting to the Ancient Blood World.
The Hunters in front of Noah began getting up after a few minutes, some still terrified of the pain they went through as they moved their bodies and began to feel the abundant strength overflowing within. Most had directly broken through ranks the moment their change finished, finding a sense of power they never thought to be possible permeating through their body. They looked towards the Strongest Hunter with a feeling of apprehension and familiarity as they felt like he had become someone they could never even think to go against, the aura that Noah released currently putting him at an unreachable position in their eyes!
What followed thereafter was something ridiculous as Noah used an abundant amount of mana and cast [Vampyrism] multiple times on the beings from the Beast and Demon World who had managed to get here in time, before the many newly turned Vampyres were introduced to the Ancient Blood World.
When it came to those in higher positions of power like Steel Mikhail, Noah added another ability on top of it as he also used [Bloodline Bestowal], another ability directly from the Bloodline of the Vampyre Progenitor, to bestow the bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyre.
From the Ancient Shrine where he found numerous storage rings and pouches, an abundant amount of refined Blood Crystals and numerous Bloodlines that the Guardian of Blood had been left with to continue conducting the trials of the Inheritance Grounds were all in his possession.
He was now the Vampyre Progenitor, making there be no need for an Inheritance Ground as he could personally turn beings into Vampyres and bestow Bloodlines as he wished!
The process took slightly more time for anything higher than the Elite Tier, but a brand new Steel Mikhail became the first Harbinger to obtain the Bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyre as his large figure became even more refined and he gained a devilish handsomeness!
Noah continued to play around with the newly found abilities of the Vampyre Progenitor as he initiated the process of using the abundant resources on the Ancient Blood World. In the coming days, more and more forces from the Beast World and Demon World would join in, along with the newly included beings of the Icebound World that had not even fully begun communicating with the other four worlds. The Guardian of Blood would act in Noah's place for the newcomers as many of the treasures and bloodlines left behind in the Inheritance Grounds would be freely used up in the coming months.
There were many moving parts and numerous figures involved in this process that would take quite some time, but while Noah was supposed to be undergoing a trial to prove himself to the Vampyres of the Underworld, he entered the Inheritance Grounds and took for himself the ultimate inheritance left behind by the Vampyre Progenitor. He then began using the expansive abilities of this fearsome bloodline as he covertly began to create a force of new Vampyres in a distant world, moving with extreme efficiency as he already began the process of using the resources of an entire world that he had gained while he was simply supposed to be undergoing a trial!
It would be out of the wildest dreams for the Vampyres of the Underworld to imagine, as they were about to have their hands full from the return of shocking commands. The Vampyre King had sent word to their forces in the Dark Expanse the moment that Noah entered the portal that led to the Ancient Blood World, letting them know of the recent events and asking for guidance on how to move forward.
What came out as a result was something they did not expect as within the grand Vampyre Council Hall where many powerful figures were still discussing, a dark portal began to form that took the attention of all those in the hall.
The Vampyre King looked on in shock as he quickly enacted a wide Blood World that fully covered the Council Hall, looking towards this expanding dark portal where a stunning figure began to materialize out of with a glimmer of red light.
The eyes of the Vampyre King focused as the usual smile he had was wiped away, letting out a calm voice as if he was talking to someone of the same level, or even possibly higher!
"You know it is risky for someone who is drenched with the aura of the Dark Expanse to enter into the Light Expanse right away. Are you trying to reveal our position this quickly, my dear Elena?"
His voice was directed to the woman that had just materialized from a disappearing portal, a woman that held a figure so curvaceous and deadly that it would make many men drool!
Gorgeous silver hair fell down to her shoulders as she looked at the Vampyre King with a light smile that caused the Vampyres in the Council Hall to look down to their feet in respect. They knew the ident.i.ty of this being that had just appeared, a being they considered to be even more fearsome than the Vampyre King they were serving under all this time!
"Little brother, you sent such a shocking message that the Alliance couldn't just send back simple words. If it wasn't required of me to be here, I would not have come."
Shocking words were released as the woman holding a similar status to the Vampyre King that Noah had talked to appeared, and she was a being that had just arrived from the Dark Expanse!
The Vampyre King that was ruling the forces of the Pureblood Vampyres in the Underworld looked at his big sister thoughtfully as he clapped his hands, sending a signal for the many Vampyre Elders to clear the room as he spoke.
"Are they ready to enact a big move against the Celestials?"
A wide smile which could be the downfall of entire countries appeared on the Royal Vampyre Elena as she strolled towards the Vampyre King.
"Oh little brother, you don't know just how important the news of this human that has a straight path into the 7th Celestial Star is."
An interested smile appeared on her face as she looked around the wide Council Hall, only noticing a single red portal, her nephew that was looking towards her with a shocked expression, and the Vampyre King she continued to refer to as little brother.
"Where is the important being in question, little Adrian?"
An eerie silence filled the room as the Vampyre King, Adrian, let out a slight cough as he gazed at the red portal, causing the expression of Elena to change as her face turned dark.
"You sent such an important figure into the Inheritance Grounds?"
"...It was to tie him directly to our side as we awaited for word from home. If you had been sharing all the important information with me, maybe I would have known his importance was even greater than what I antic.i.p.ated. Do enlighten me though, why did those old fogeys send you?"
Elena turned to her brother with a pitying expression as she spoke.
"Even I didn't know this information before I was sent here, it was something that those schemers at the top cla.s.sified as top secret. You better hope that human comes back in one piece, otherwise the people that are much too tired of this unwinnable war will fry you for losing such an important piece."
She walked towards Prince Ca.s.sius as her soft hands ruffled his silver hair.
"My little nephew, you did well with your recent venture. You should come back home soon, all those little princesses you left behind continue waiting for you to return."
The Vampyre Prince adopted a docile expression that was nothing like the regal air he had always shown, only being able to nod his head at this bountifully blessed aunt in front of him.
Elena strolled towards the bedazzled throne that the Vampyre King Adrian had been sitting on as she placed her curvaceous body down and crossed her legs, her gaze locking towards the red portal that led to the Inheritance Grounds as she awaited for this being that would play a major part in the ongoing war!
