8 The Reincarnation
Right before Vlad lost his consciousness and had embraced the eternal abyss… an unknown and unidentified being's voice resounded in his mind.
[Blood Sovereign System activated!]
[Unlocking the host's old memories.
Granting temporary 10 times boost in all physical and magical abilities for 1 hour.]
Declared the robotic voice and soon, a scarlet red fog appeared out of Vlad's body and completely encapsulated his figure amongst the other corpses.
Under this red fog… Vlad's entire body started healing itself automatically as if he was born anew. His skinny body started gaining muscles, his short white hair started growing at a rapid pace and the heart that had a big hole in it started to regrow itself.
Minutes passed and finally, the once skinny and weak body of Vlad was now that of a lean muscle build. Very fit and ripped for someone of his age.
Tip!
Tip!
Soon, Vlad got up by himself and his growth in height and build finally stopped and now, a young man with shoulder-length white hair stood in between the heap of bloody corpses.
Vlad took a deep breath as his newly reconstructed physique stood tall and he finally opened his as he gazed towards the setting sun in the sky.
"Finally... I have returned."
Dracula's voice resounded in the area as a blood-red aura was revealed from his body. This time, his presence wasn't that of a weak and helpless child but a tyrant who had control over everything.
"Huh… I've been reincarnated as a Vampire again?
Tch! This body doesn't even have a superior vampire bloodline let alone a royal or elder one." he complained as soon as he noticed his surroundings.
He looked towards the battlefield of the corpses, filled with the mangled flesh and fresh blood of his kin.
"Urggghhh…" groaned Vlad, now…
Dracula Reincarnated With A System.
He grasped his head with both hands as a surge of information suddenly bombarded his mind.
Suddenly, his memories of the new life as Vlad started merging with his original ones and soon, Vlad and Dracula became a single entity.
"Ah… even in this life, my beginning is a tragic one." said Dracula as he looked around and saw the bodies of his dead parents and younger sibling.
"My parents from this life… I shall repay your love and kindness while raising me." said Dracula in a grim voice and the next moment, his expression turned to that of a resolute man.
"I shall avenge you." he said and looked around.
"Ah, these humans… no matter which world I go to… they are always the biggest plague on the planet." he said.
[The reincarnation has been successful. As the first one to get reincarnated among the ten… you have been granted the Blood Sovereign System.] a sudden notification resounded in his mind.
"Who's that?! Who's inside my head?!" queried Dracula with an alarmed expression.
[The host should prioritize his survival first. The Blood Sovereign System shall answer all questions behind its existence and the measures taken by the host himself when he was thrown into this world.] replied the so-called system in Dracula's mind.
[The host has been granted two of his original powers.
The Shadow Whip & Blood Mist.
New Mission : Kill all the enemies and avenge the host's parents and clan.
Reward : 10,000 Blood Points.]
"I don't know who you are… but we will talk about it later when I am done.
I indeed need to at least kill these bastards first." said Dracula as he decided to prioritize after seeing the battlefield first.
And soon, the red fog around his body coalesced around his right arm.
"Look here! Why's there one alive?!" said a soldier who was gathering the bodies from the battlefield.
"Kill that worm!" shouted one of the squad leaders.
"Yaaahhhh!!" charged the soldier towards Dracula and brandished his sword.
Stab!
But before the soldier even reached halfway, Dracula's figure suddenly turned into red mist and quickly appeared right in front of the charging soldier.
With befuddled eyes, the soldier suddenly noticed that a fist had stabbed through his heart.
Rip!!
The next moment, the young vampire in front of him pulled out the fist.
Thump! Thump!
And in his palm… was a beating heart.
With a horrified expression… he saw this young vampire baring his fangs and biting his neck.
In the following seconds… Dracula quickly sucked out all of this human soldier's blood and at a visible rate, this fully grown-up man turned into a dry husk of what he originally was.
Squash!
Dracula squashed the heart and threw it away.
"These foolish humans… don't they know the most basic thing?
A Vampire's most powerful weapon…
Is blood!" he spoke with a ghastly expression and noticed more soldiers coming his way.
The bloody mouth of his let out a smirk and the red aura that encapsulated his right arm suddenly started elongating as Dracula received a fresh supply of blood to use his power called the Shadow Whip.
"Kill him, you morons! What the hell are you waiting for?!" shouted the squad leader as a group of 5 soldiers charged toward him as soon as they saw the vampire kill one of their own.
Dracula smiled as if he was looking at a bunch of weaklings and swung his arm horizontally.
As if having sentience of its own, the shadow whip made of highly compressed blood lengthened itself to 10 meters.
Clang!
Slash!
Clang!
Slash!
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the shadow whip cut through their armors and bodies instantly.
"That one… he's not a normal vampire like these people. All of you, attack together!" commanded the squad leader as he got down from his horse and brandished his sword.
It was this very man who killed Vlad's father not too long ago. And beside him, stood the two guards who stabbed through his mother's body with their spears.
And in front of the group… was the same man who ran a spear through his heart a few minutes ago.
Soon, other soldiers with holy crosses in their hands ran toward Dracula to finish him once and for all.
Swoosh!!
Before any of these attackers could come 20 meters close to him, Dracula used the Blood Mist, one of his signature powers, and appeared right in the center of this group.
He quickly swung his shadow whip in a horizontally circular motion again and again as the whip cut through their armored figures and weapons in just a few seconds.
Thud!
Thud!
Each of their bodies was cleanly cut through half a dozen times from head to toe and fell on the ground like circular disks while their chopped innards, flesh, and brains splattered on the ground.
Without wasting any more time, Dracula's red aura spread among their corpses and quickly absorbed their blood. Making their bodies similar to the first soldier who attacked him.
But this time… Dracula's left arm was also covered in the same aura as another whip appeared on its end.
This commotion was quickly noticed by the other groups spread across this forested battlefield and all of them warned their subordinates about a vampire killing their fellow soldiers.
And soon, the group amassed to hundreds of enemies that ran towards this one young vampire with eyes full of killing intent.
But instead of showing any worries or feeling threatened… Dracula let out a content smile and spoke in a dreadful voice.
"Gates of hell have been opened. And I shall be the Grim Reaper who will deliver your souls."
